= City Council August 15, 2002 Page Two on installation of the signal bases and the wiring for the new signal at TH 10 and Waco Street while they wait for the delivery of material to install at the various locations. It is our understanding that the mast arms and poles should be shipped the week of August 12, 2002, and installation of the actual signals should begin the week of August 19, 2002. The left turn arrow material is scheduled to be delivered to the contractor on August 20, 2002, and installation will likely take place in less than a day. 1 75th Avenue Improvements Contract was just awarded to S. R. Weidema, Inc., and a preconstruction meeting is scheduled for Thursday, August 14, 2002. It is anticipated the contractor will begin immediately by milling the road possibly as early as this Friday. This will be followed by sanitary sewer installation, and pending the decision by the Elk River Municipal Utilities water installation. Once the utilities are installed, street construction will begin immediately. There is minimum elevation change--only a slight widening of the road base to support the wider road section. The contractor will easily finish the utilities and street construction through the first lift of blacktop. The final lift of blacktop and possibly the trail will be installed in 2003 with final restoration and clean up completed next year also. Orono Parkway Improvements This project was just recently awarded to Jay Brothers, Inc. The preconstruction meeting for the project was held on Wednesday, August 14, 2002. The project includes the modifications to the median necessary for the expansion of City Hall and construction of the Public Safety Building. The project will include the removal of the lights along Orono Parkway. The lights will be delivered to the Public Works facility and used at a later date in Lion's Park. The second component of the project is the repair at the intersection of 193rd Avenue and Evans Street. This includes replacement of the concrete valley cutter across Evans Street and some milling and overlaying of the westbound lanes of 193rd Avenue and southbound lanes of Evans Street. Watermain Extension to the Public Works Facility This project was initiated by the City to provide sufficient water quantity and pressure to the Public Works facility to operate a new fire suppression sprinkler system to be installed in the building. The watermain will be directionally bored from Triangle Road in the Elk River Industrial Park to the Public Works facility. Award of this project is a City Council agenda item for consideration at your August 19, 2002, meeting. Main Street Left Turn Lane Expansion Construction on this project is complete. We are currently working on the paperwork to finalize the contract. 2003 Pavement Rehabilitation Project The first project considered under the pavement management program by the City Council in early 2002 is currently beginning. Survey crews are picking up existing topography information for the preparation of base maps leading up to an informational meeting with affected property owners in the fall of 2002. This will be followed by a feasibility study, public hearing and preparation of plans and specifications through the winter months of 2002, Ltr-081302-Council.doc Howard R, Green Company CONSULTING ENGINEERS
