Question: What happens if the pavers settle? Response: The sidewalk is within the <br />public right-of-way. If the sidewalk settles the City will repair that portion of the sidewalk. <br />The subgrade will be tested prior to placement of the pavers to try to eliminate that from <br />happening. <br /> <br />Question: Has the existing sidewalk held up as long as it should have? Response: The <br />existing sidewalk did deteriorate before its expected life cycle. At this point in time the <br />City would throw a lot of money at trying to assess blame between the supplier and the <br />contractor. The City has decided that rather than trying to do that they would accept <br />responsibility and repair the sidewalk. With ERMU burying the overhead power lines <br />and with the construction of the new building at Main Street and King Street this is the <br />opportune time to replace the sidewalk. <br /> <br />Question: Will we be buying the pavers from the manufacturer and will this be an open <br />bid situation? Response: No we will not. The manufacturer has informed us that they <br />have an ample supply and the Contractor should have no problem placing an order of <br />this size. <br /> <br />Question: Will the sidewalk project be completed before Art Soup? Response: Every <br />effort will be made to compete the project before Art Soup. If there are weather delays <br />then the downtown area will be restored to the best of the Contractor's ability and <br />construction will resume after Art Soup. <br /> <br />Question: Will parking restrictions be kept to a minimum? Response: Every effort will <br />be made to keep the disruption to the downtown area to a minimum. Weekly <br />construction meetings will be held to ensure proper coordination. <br /> <br />With no further questions the meeting was closed. <br /> <br /> <br />
