Updated Streets and Sidewalks page
July 8, 2013
All:
This is the 8th update on the Sunset Street Wide Sidewalk project. Through last week, the contractor has used 26 of their allotted 45 "working days." There is much work to be done yet to complete the project, and the pace of the construction has been slow the last few weeks in particular. We notified the contractor last week of our concerns about their pace relative to the work remaining and the number of working days they have remaining in their contract. We have requested an updated construction schedule from them to confirm how they will be scheduling the remaining work within the timeframe of the project. We have asked that their schedule be updated and provided this week.
One item that was completed last week was the work by Mid-American. They have set all their new utility poles, removed the old utility poles, and the overhead services have been relocated to the new poles.
The contractor indicates that planned work this week includes beginning the construction of the new retaining wall (at Sunset/Benton) on Wednesday (7/10) and starting storm sewer work (between Highland and Oakcrest) tomorrow (7/9). There is a construction meeting scheduled with the contractor for tomorrow morning, and we will ask to hear more specifics of what else they will be working on during the week. We will send out another update tomorrow if additional items are scheduled.
