                                               One Way to Two Way Street Conversion
Weekly Progress Meeting 4-15-16

Started with Introductions
Reith Riley then gave an over view of the coming work. Reith Riley plans on placing the 20 inch water line relocation at Bartlett Street. This work will cause traffic on Michigan to be reduced to 1 lane in each direction and Bartlett Street will be closed to the West and will only allow traffic heading north to turn right. Reith Riley will also be working on the east side of Michigan between Bartlett and Angela Boulevard replacing ramps. Reith Riley will have a crew putting Bartlett Street back together between Riverside and Saint Joe. Once that is reassembled Bartlett will be closed between Saint Joe and Michigan and removals will begin. Pemberton Davis will be doing traffic work on Michigan and Indiana removing traffic signals that have already been bagged.
Memorial Hospital had concerns about the removals between Saint Joe and Michigan in regards to their drive for the work trails just west of Saint Joe.
The Water Department was concerned about deliveries to their facility on Bartlett Street. They have a semi delivery weekly that comes from the North and the only accesses to plant is off of Bartlett Street. Special accommodations will be made to assist the delivery.
Utility Relocations
AEP Bob The line on riverside down the ally has been relocated to a temporary pole. Comcast and AT& T have been informed to get their work done down the alley.
AEP Tony was not present and could not give an update on the Chippewa work
Nipsco Phil The work at Bartlett should be completed by Monday.
Comcast was unable to attend.
US Signal was unable to attend
Windstream Bob will check with Tony
Utility Upgrade Robert Henry gave an over view of the upcoming work and the past work at this time they are on schedule.
Nipsco gave an over view of the work in the down town area
A break was taken and the utilities and stakeholder where allowed to leave.
Additional R/w was then discussed Reith Riley pressed to get the Mar Main property as soon as possible so demolition can take place, since asbestos is in the building. They also pressed to try and get the Sandra Case home before May 21st.
After reviewing the Submittals the flowmeter is still out for woodruff submittal 23 witch is late for due to the flowmeter. The Tesco Cabinet single phase is still out for the Pemberton Davis #6 which is due Monday. After further talks it was determined more help was needed to keep up with submittals. Toy will see if he can find more help.
Reith Riley then had questions about QC/QA Concrete whether the city will be paying bonuses per state spec. Upon further discussion. Reith Riley will submit a new price for non QC/QA concrete and the city will determine what it wants to do. Reith Riley will also submit a price for non QC/QA asphalt due to the coring of the asphalt.
The revision 6 Mast arms was a concern, on how poles at intersections can be taken away and used else wear without affecting the intersection at which the old mast arm is removed. Corbett suggested using the poles from the intersections that are being closed in the downtown area, after reviewing the plans the intersections downtown are not being closed down. A meeting will be set up next week to further discuss the phasing and used pole placement.
Reith Riley also wanted a clarification on the brick pavers being used due to the confliction in the plans details and special provisions. The city wants to be uniform in the details and will review the issue.
The asbestos at the Mar Main building will need to be abated. Reith Riley will have this done as soon as the city has the property owned. A change order will be issued to do the work.
Reith Riley voiced concerns about the sidewalk ramps elevations not working out the plans and having the proper cross slopes and grades.
Reith Riley also questioned the sprinkler system allotment. Since payment is made by the Square Yard, and how will repairs be compensated for.
The City Concerns: the cameras for the down town area. The city will purchase the cameras threw a third party as soon as Reith riley gives the city a price. Then Reith Riley will install the newly purchased cameras.
Additional revisions forth coming at Chippewa are the additional R/W, sidewalk, and an additional driveway to the parking lot. At the Marion round about a loading zone will be added to Main Street in front of the apartment buildings.

                Started with Introduction
                Then Reith Riley was to introduce an updated schedule.
Reith Riley did not give an updated schedule, the reasoning was they did not have the submittal back for structure 802, or rim elevations for Chippewa or Marion.

They will be working at Marion and Michigan moving the water 20” waterline which is anticipated to take the rest of the week. They will be working on removals on Bartlett from Riverside to Saint Joe this week. They plan on working on Michigan Street north of Bartlett to Angela Boulevard, on the intersections pedestrian ramps, working on the east side first and then moving to the west side. 
                Utilities
AEP Bob Strasburg:  AEP will be out today to remove the light poles on Bartlett from Riverside to Saint Joe. Which is a week later than scheduled. They will then work on the line down the alley east of Michigan next week, and should take a day to set temp pole.
AEP Tony Macias gave an update on the Chippewa intersection and it was stressed that he be done with his work before the first of June. He also filled us in that the Windstream line was on Main Street not Michigan as originally thought.
Nipsco will be done with the Bartlett street intersection by April 15th.
Comcast did not attend, but Jay Castello did email stating, I’ll run by today to see if the R/W is staked and probably wait till the trees have been removed before I bury the new line. At Chippewa I’ll check with my contractor to see when they will start and let you know. On Main north of Chippewa the underground was installed yesterday and hoping to have the service removed from an old transmission pole for the project. I’ll keep you posted with updates.
US Signal did not attend.
                Utility Upgrades
