Summer Timeline

MAIN STREET SANITARY
· Complete survey and preliminary design the week of March 8. This seems possible since the weather looks like it will be at or above freezing the next week or so.
· Revise design based on comments from City Staff the week of March 15.
· Prepare DNR permit and wage rage application the week of March 22.
· Advertise April 1 and April 8.
· Open bids April 15.
· Award project at the April 20 council meeting. This project is assumed to be bid out by the City with bidding assistance by Strand.
· Be under construction by May 3.
· This project should have a deadline of no later than June 18 so that it does not interfere with Town and Country Days.
· SAI or WWTP staff would perform full-time construction observation during the sanitary sewer installation, and part-time during the restoration operations.

AZTALAN ENGINEERING SEWER EXTENSION
· DNR Sanitary permit received.
· Wage rates have been received.
· Bid tab and advertisement are ready to go.
· The next step is to drop off plans and specifications to you, send in the advertisement to the paper, and assist you with the bidding process. This project has been setup for the City to perform the bidding themselves and use your own contract. Advertising can begin as soon as you would like to.
· SAI or WWTP staff would perform full-time construction observation during the sanitary sewer installation, and part-time during the restoration operations.

FERRY DRIVE ROADWAY AND UTILITIES
· The next step will be to meet with you and the department heads to discuss the limits and budget of the project.
· Our next step would be to create the plan sheets and finish the bidding documents to get this project ready to go.
· The design elements that we have included right now are:
o Pulverize pavement and base course from Lake Street to Fremont Street.
o Spot curb and gutter and sidewalk replacement
o Reconstruct Ferry Drive from the mill pond bridge to Lake Street, including the parking stalls.
o Reconstruct sanitary sewer and laterals from Campus to Fremont.
o Line sewer and manholes from Bartle’s Beach to Campus. This area cannot be replaced because the existing sewer is almost flat, and the connection point at Lake Street is too high to allow for the proper slope to be installed on the new pipe. After speaking with Bob and Bill, this may be something that could be part of a separate City project since it may be cheaper to go directly to the lining company to do the work than through a general. Down the road, the sewer on Lake Street can be lowered to allow for the future replacement of this sewer to towards Bartle’s Beach.
o Replace lead services between Bartle’s Beach and Fremont. The lead services, if any, will be discovered during the sanitary sewer work and marked for replacement.
o Two new 6-inch water valves will be installed at College Street and two more at Fremont Street. The installation of these valves will eliminate the long stretches of un-valved water main. 6-inch valves are proposed because the rest of the water main in this area is 6-inch and 4-inch diameter. Also, if the water mains in this area are replaced in the near future, these valves can be salvaged and used for hydrants or other connections.
o There is 4-inch water main on Ferry between Tower Street and Fremont Street. Currently there is no plan to replace any water main on Ferry.
o Storm sewer laterals near the Campus intersection since this is a low point in the project.
o New inlets at Campus. This is work that John said his department might do depending on the timing of construction.
· Repairs to the southwest stream bank of the Ferry Drive bridge at Bartle’s Beach, and concrete repairs to the bridge itself could be made.
o The bank could be stabilized with new curb and rip rap.
o The loose concrete on the side of the bridge would be chipped away, and repaired with a polymer-modified concrete mix.
o We will need to survey this area to complete the design, calculate quantities, and submit for permits.
· A Chapter 30 permit needed for the new storm sewer outfall at the Bartle’s Beach parking lot, and for the bank stabilization work near the bridge.
· DNR sanitary sewer permit and an NOI are also required. At this time, no DNR water main permit is needed.
· A milestone will be put in the project specifications that requires the contractor to only open up as much street as they can put back with binder asphalt by June 18. The contractor will then need to be shut down for a week until Town and Country Days has passed and the equipment is removed. This will allow Ferry drive to act as the detour route.
· Advertise April 15 and April 22.
· Open bids April 29.
· Award project on May 4.
· This project should be complete by September 1.
· SAI would perform full-time construction observation during the sanitary sewer installation, curb & gutter, and paving; and part-time during street grading and restoration operations.

CIRCLE DRIVE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
· Chapter 30 permit has been submitted to the DNR for the new outfall to Rock Lake.
· An NOI is not needed since the disturbed area is less than 1 acre.
· A wage rate application will need to be submitted.
· There are DNR work time restrictions on the storm sewer outfall. This work cannot take place between March 15th and May 15th.
· Advertise May 27 and June 3.
· Open bids on June 10.
· Award project on June 15.
· This project should be complete by August 6.
· SAI would perform full-time construction observation during the storm sewer installation, and part-time during the grading and restoration operations.

MUNICIPAL ALLEYWAY BY FORD COURT
· After Friday’s site review, the drainage on Water Street has become more clear.
· Our next step is to check the capacity of the 43x68 inch DOT storm sewer along side City Hall. If there is capacity available, we can show new storm sewer on Water Street that will drain the parking lot, alley way, and Water Street. If capacity is not available, we can look at a new outfall to Rock Creek. Either way, it appears that the pipe under City Hall can be abandoned at Water Street.
· Once we have the capacity information, we can meet with you, the department heads, and Jill Nadeau to determine the preferred utility routing. We will also have to discuss the design of the walkway to Main Street, and the storm laterals to all the buildings on how close we should get to the downspouts.
· We are working with Bob and Bill to get more televising information for the sanitary sewer behind the buildings near Ford Court. We think it goes under these buildings, but we don’t know if there are any laterals hooked up. If possible, this line will be abandoned during construction, or we can try to reroute the laterals.
· DNR sanitary sewer and water main permits will need to be submitted.
· Wage rate application will need to be submitted.
· An NOI may not be needed, as long as we stay under 1 acre of disturbed area. Currently, it does not appear likely that an NOI will be needed.
· Advertise June 10 and June 17.
· Open bids June 25 (Friday). I am opening bids this day so that we have time to get the bid tab ready and letters sent out prior to the July 4th holiday weekend.
· Award project on July 6.
· This project should be complete by October 1.
· SAI would perform full-time construction observation during the sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water main, concrete, and paving installations; and part-time during the grading and restoration operations.
