Description

3.8.2023 Islington St. Project Phase 2A Public Pre-Construction Meeting

A

Excellent good evening, I'm dave deposits, I'm a project manager for the islington.

A

Street project for the city of portsmouth, um all the team members, except for the.

A

Project representative, that's uh from underwood, is here he's uh e6 he's at home, he'll be able to.

A

Answer questions from home: if you ask them, his name is brad, so just going through the whole.

A

Project team: I want to start on the city side and then we'll work our way around to the contract. So.

A

uh In the other white shirt over here is eric. Eby is the city's traffic engineer for those.

A

Of you who don't know him and again my name is dan defosis to my right is matt hall he's.

A

The project manager for the uh engineer that we hired, which is underwood engineering to his right.

A

Is dan rochette he's kind of a math supervisor? I would say at this point and then to his right in.

A

The blue and green shirt is mark. Rainey he's the supervisor for severino construction. That's better.

A

Contractor and then to mark's right is roger rivet he's the guy. That's actually going to build a job.

A

So he's the very most important guy I know uh he'll be the guy on on scene. Doing all the all.

A

The work so, as you know, we've been uh working on these retreat project now, for uh probably four or.

A

Five years, if you start, you know, we started kind of all the way out by apostle plains. We did that.

A

First project, where we built the sidewalk and we put sewer in that outer section of this industry,.

A

On the other side of bypass, and then we started the uh from the bypass and we did the first year.

A

We did the from the bypass the bartlett street and then we did from barlow street to dover street and.

A

Then we did the columbia area of columbia court that whole area at the end of students read so.

A

That all got done in previous projects, so this project is what the city's calling project 2a so.

A

uh Project two total project two does go all the way, so this is year one of what we hope is a total.

A

Project, so this year's project starts at dover street, more or less wherever we left off right.

A

Where they built the new condominiums that down in the in the hollow down there and they go uh down.

A

Proceeding down the hill through the cabot street intersection, the cabot street traffic signals get.

A

Completely replaced as part of this they'll be uh there'll, be a mass star, so they actually go.

A

Over the lane, so that you can actually see the signals when they're red, when the sun's shining.

A

In your face in the afternoon on those fall days, uh you'll be able to see the traffic signals.

A

um A lot more clearly than you can today, so uh the owners of the gas station.

A

um Were nice enough to give us an easement, so we could create a new foundation. So all the traffic.

A

Signals will be on one pole so that one pole kind of goes across the intersection hitting corner and.

A

All the different traffic lights for all the different directions came off that one hole.

A

So and then proceeding and continuing toward downtown.

A

uh The project goes uh all the way up to almost parking lot, where electric.

A

uh In this project we actually uh did sign. um We call it an uh an ad alternative in the.

A

Contract uh for cleveland park, so this project also includes a facelift to the entrance to.

A

Goodwin park and the reason why we did that is uh we're changing goodwin park. Subtly there's.

A

No changes inside park really all the changes are like within 25 feet of his extreme and what.

A

We're doing is we're realigning with the two pathways that go in at 45 degrees, for the side.

A

Of the park those get realigned when they go out to islington street, so they line up with the with.

A

The side streets that they're and then they get crosswalks so that people coming from the other.

A

Side of this industry might notice. I will have a nice crosswalk that they can cross go right into.

A

The park we're also creating a new gateway to the park, which is the new grand entrance that.

A

Goes around the vector memorial: that's there, the square monument, that's kind of sitting.

A

In the grass right now, that'll be uh completely encompassed in a brick walkway that goes right up.

A

To the main monument in the middle uh and then we're putting in some baller lights, so we're.

A

Increasing some of the lighting in the park too, uh to make it a little safer in the park at night.

A

So um that being said, that's kind of a scope of the project you I've introduced, the team um matt.

A

Is going to go through the powerpoint presentation uh that should basically give you most of the data.

A

That you need, and then we'll all be here to field questions whatever you have questions after that.

A

uh We'll go through the question uh and answer portion after matt gives us presentation. Thank you.

B

All right one stage, so we can get into it.

A

I should have mentioned 70 c chord is our. Is our communication.

B

All right, so, as dave mentioned, the purpose of tonight's meeting is to review the.

B

Project team, if we did uh the limits of work, where we're going, what we're doing.

B

Anticipated startup schedule when we're going to be start when we're going to.

B

Be starting how long we're going to be going for uh with the traffic patterns.

B

You'll be seeing out on site are and how you can get public information and updates on it.

B

So here are the project team contacts or the city of portsmouth, underwood and severino.

B

City of portsmouth, peter rice is the director of public works, he's kind of the head of the.

B

Project dave's the primary contact his project manager, he'll, be who you'll likely be speaking.

B

To from the city, if you have questions and as far as parking transportation and traffic eric.

B

Will be your outlet for that? Matt. Excuse me for interrupting, but as communications.

C

Person all this presentation will be posted on the web page for the project first and.

C

Tomorrow and all of this information or the contact, information will be right here too,.

C

And we will be resuming those weekly once the construction starts and we were doing a weekly.

C

Update from the end of the week and we'll start those up again, sorry, nothing, of course,.

B

For underwood it'll be myself as project manager, uh katie canela, she's, watching from home right.

B

Now she'll be the project engineer. uh Brad is also watching from home. He'll be the resident.

B

Project representative he'll be out on site with roger every day and every day.

B

And then uh dan rochette will be the technical support back at the office for us.

B

uh Severino trucking uh the contractor for the job tom severino, the vice president, he's been.

B

Involved with it for the past few years, mark rainey project manager he's also been involved.

B

With phase one for the past few years and then roger rivet he'll be on the ground every day,.

D

Putting it in there's a cell phone number he's very responsive and always personable on site.

B

So project limits, as dave mentioned, we've already done phase one which was route 1.

B

Bypass up to dover street that's been completed, thus far phase two the base bid will be from dover.

B

Street to cornwall that's 2a, which is what we'll be doing this year. As dave mentioned, we do have an.

B

Ad alternative that we added in which is goodwin park, another ad alternative, which has not been.

B

Awarded so there's no instruction scheduled for it is the remainder of the project from.

B

Cornwall to maplewood, so here's just a graphic showing what we've done in yellow. What we'll.

B

Be doing this year is in red and what has not been awarded but has been designed is in blue.

B

So this year, uh oh this goes over uh phase two in its entirety, so that is from dover to cornwall.

B

In red, that's what we're doing this year as well as add alternative three goodwin park and purple.

B

And then, as mentioned, the blue has not been awarded. That's taking a cornball to maplewood.

B

So the start of construction, we're looking to start the first week of april doing some.

B

Light work out there we'll be putting in temporary water systems throughout april.

B

So you will be on temporary water, we'll be removing the new water main throughout the.

B

Product or the old water main throughout the project, while we put in the new water main.

B

um We'll be getting into sewer installation that'll be done. First, that's going to start.

B

Up in april- and that can be anticipated finish up sometime in the summer in june and then following.

B

That we'll work on water, drainage, sidewalks, curbing roadway box out adding gravels in a.

B

Stable base and then a new, paving roadway uh and then as well as goodwin park sometime this summer,.

B

Schedules still following for that, so this just goes through the sequencing of where we're going.

B

To be starting and in what order right here, we're going to start from dover street or.

B

Cabot street, up to rockingham with sewer these ones will go quick and then, following that, we'll.

B

Be doing sewer from canada street up to dover street and then sewer in the cabot intersection.

B

Following that, we're going to be doing the water main from cabot street up to cornwall, as well as.

B

Drainage, that's on that side of the road we'll be boxing out the road, adding a staple road base.

B

On that side and then on the other side of the road we'll be doing any water services.

B

That are over there, drainage, that's over there box cutting and adding gravels.

B

Following that, we'll be paving that section of the roadway binder for the winter.

B

And then on the other side of cabot street over to dover street, we'll be doing the same.

B

Thing doing water, drainage, fox, cutting on that side, slipping to the other side of.

B

The street doing the remainder of it over there and then paved in that area as well.

B

So this is what you can expect to see if you're out there walking around uh picture on the left is the sewer main being installed.

B

And then the picture on the right is a sewer service connection to a foundation.

B

This is uh what you can expect to see, depending on how far we go up.

B

To your property, with a new sewer service, we'll be digging a trench.

B

And all private property work will be restored to its prior condition.

B

Graphic patterns, uh this will be one lane alternating. There won't be a detour in place.

B

um Two-Way traffic will be restored to night time. There will be flaggers out there to help.

B

Assist at current work zones, wherever they are they'll, be letting one lane go.

B

Which you can see here as the blue areas under construction it'll, be.

B

Toned off and marked off, it will be proper signage ahead of it, indicating a work zone.

B

Ahead from both sides, traffic will stop on one side and come through on the other.

B

Distribution of public information, uh door-to-door, brad and roger will be out there every day.

B

Fielding any questions that you might have at the time out there we'll be having message.

B

Boards out there indicating any water shutdowns or things like that, that'll be happening. uh The.

B

Social media page for the city of portsmouth, uh their twitter, their project webpage and an email.

B

Distribution be sending out weekly updates what you can expect for work that will come that week.

C

D

Cool yeah and I think that yeah this is, uh you can follow that link. If you, you know, go.

B

On the slideshow that'll, take you to the city of portsmouth page for the project and I might have.

C

If there's an old picture, it's not currently showing march 2020., yes,.

A

Okay, so let's go, I want to go back a little bit. Can you go back 10 slots questions.

E

A

Okay, so I just want to go over uh sequence and uh why things are done the way they are.

A

So when the city's rebuilding a road like this, uh we obviously it's not obvious.

A

We have to maintain all the utility infrastructure.

A

While we're replacing it, if that makes sense, you need to make sure that your toilet is still.

A

Flushed and make sure everything works, so one of the things that's why the first thing that.

A

You saw was the temporary water, so the the new one, without going to go pretty much exactly where the.

A

Alarming was so to do that. We're going to set up that temporary line like they had last year.

A

um They went down the hill from you, know, blackberry blocks and all that stuff. That.

A

Temporary, by avoid pipes on display, you know laying on the sidewalk, so uh severino will start.

A

Installing that later in april, once the second pairs are warm enough and we make sure it's not.

A

Going to freeze so they put that whole temporary prepaid system together and then they flush it. We.

A

Bacteria test everything make sure it goes to the lab, make sure it's clean and let me hook everybody.

A

Up and then once that's done, we can shut off the old main. That way we can dig around it safely.

A

So that's the reason why we're doing that um when you're replacing utilities on the ground, it's kind.

A

Of like building a layer cake, so the sanitary sewer is always almost always the deepest bite.

A

So that's why, on the slides, they started with the sanitary sword, so they install pipes from.

A

The deepest and they work their way ups, but they don't have to dig underneath anything that they're.

A

Already installed, that's the reason for that. So if we go back to this slide, where we're talking about.

A

um Doing the utilities, that's fine right there. um The reason why we're going from.

A

Cabot up toward lexi is first with the paving is because, because of the park.

A

There's no houses on that site, so there's a lot less utility work on that side of the intersection.

A

So we're taking advantage of that so that we can get the utilities in that section done. First, we.

A

Can put the firmware payment down once we build the first player payment, the sidewalks and all.

A

The ancillary stuff that we all care about is what gets built off that binder layer. So the.

A

Sidewall, the new sidewalks, the curbing the street lights where they go and the park improvements.

A

Will all get built off that so by doing that section first by the park that then they get.

A

All the subcontractors that are working for san marino, the installer I mean sidewalks and all.

A

That sort of work and lighting they can all get going and they can start working them apart. They.

A

Can start working on the mental side of the job? Meanwhile, roger will be on the other side of the.

A

Intersection with the san marino team finishing installing the water main and the drainage on that.

A

Side and then um just for the layperson boxing, the road means that basically we're going to take the.

A

Entire gravel section: that's underneath the road right now and we're going to displace that and.

A

We're going to replace it with a holistic, gravel layer so that because the road is there, the gravel.

A

That's there, although it's pretty good in most places, it's been done through 75 times, because.

A

For every house, of course, there's a water service, a sewer line, a gas line and sometimes a drainage.

A

Connection but not that many on the street, but then the telephone lines, so all that dirt. That.

A

Was originally replaced to make a nice layer make a nice road has been dug through so many.

A

Times that we're going to remove that material and create a holistic, new gravelware and that's what's.

A

Going to support the pavement for the next hundred years, so the project basically endeavors as you.

A

Know from living there the gas line got replaced three or four years ago, so the gas line when the.

A

Gas line get replaced down the side of the street where the gas station is that side of the street.

A

We already knew where all pipes were going to go back then so the gas line that they installed.

A

That is out of our way, so the gas line's been replaced. Roger is going to replace the sooner.

A

Line the water line for the inch fires when we're done, with the exception of when somebody.

A

Builds a new building and then maybe they need a marijuana line. There's no really, no reason to dig.

A

Up the street again because everything under the streets can be new just like it was 130 years ago,.

A

So I just want to explain that process a little bit, so that makes sense if you've seen the slides.

A

And you're seeing well, why are we doing that side? First? Why aren't they starting at the brake box,.

A

And continuing down, that's the reason so that we can take advantage of this less services.

A

So we can start working on that side and we could get the product a little bit faster like.

A

So that being said, we'll we'll take questions. I don't know if anybody's online either.

F

I gotcha so waters are, are under and drainage or under the stream. Then you might say about hormones.

F

Are there phone lines underneath the street as well? There are many formal lines we had one with.

A

First, underground pool systems around okay and my next question was: was there any consideration.

F

Given to burying all the electric and all the overall union through that inner process, many.

A

Times during the early design years and basically we came to the realization that the reason.

A

I mean there's always the money thing. Everybody will say it's expensive, it is it's very expensive.

A

But the hardest part about putting utilities on the ground is that nobody wants a transformer on.

A

Their front lawn and that's what it takes because the transformers they can run the power they can.

A

Run everything on the ground, but at the end of the day you need to step the voltage down the.

A

Host household voltage and it means somebody's getting transformers and you need a transformer.

A

Every 250 to 300 feet, so it's like one house on every block gets a transformer in the front yard.

A

And that's what makes it kind of unrealistic in our generation to do that. So that's why duration.

F

Yes, thank you. I don't know I might be going up.

G

During the mind, we live in a condo association near the dave's tire okay, and is that going up to.

G

This this year, I don't know the streets too. Well, no you'll be in the united states that could yeah.

G

But my point of view is storm. Water is going to be in a totally different type of sewer. Absolutely.

G

Yes, okay, one of our goals and we have five unit condo. You know we park in the back and we get.

G

A lot of the run on the ground, water accumulates the low spot. Basically, and it's a lot of water is.

G

Copes with it, we were told in the past that at some point we might be able to pump the water into.

G

The sewer line that's into the drain, pipe coconut oil- I mean excuse me yeah- is that realistic.

A

um Yeah and we wanted to take a look at that- um you're you're, because you're the.

A

One you're you're telling me you live in the mcdonough street side of business pollinated.

G

Next to consolidating- and I don't know the street names so you're on the same.

G

Street side: yeah yeah, okay, yeah; um yes, when the drainage system sister and gets to you.

A

Then we'll be able to deal with that situation, I'm aware of the situation.

A

Also, a part of the of the next phase of the next project is to hopefully put a pipe inlet in to.

A

Drain that bowl, so at least there's already a drainable, because right now, there's no way to.

A

Be very important, some of the few guys various properties, yeah yeah, the whole area. Okay,.

H

All year, yes- and we get the water.

G

I remember where.

B

Yeah we've looked at that and so on, we'll go to that. What's a very, very rough aspect.

H

You've never been held to as to when that might be okay. Well, it depends on funding.

A

So the city council has been funded the second half of this job, yet.

G

Realistically, we could bump into the.

A

um Yeah then you're gonna have a strong brain introduction.

H

A cobra inlet that drains the bowl, but that won't address the groundwater.

A

Under the ground, it's only going to address the surface water. So if we get one of these.

A

To explorers when we get four or five inches and I've seen that I've seen, I am very aware of it. So.

A

That's what that's, what the credit rate, so we have a little stream that goes through our property, but.

H

That will not be affected just so. You know when we paid stage we live here. We try to address.

A

All the water that was coming down state street down the driveways to.

A

Help and mitigate it temporarily as much as we could so we already started fixing the country.

G

But we get the water from the vfw and you get the water from everywhere. Yeah.

G

I know we had a fine water till what, until they put the covert in.

G

But that's still not going to call them. It's never going to solve the groundwater.

A

The ground, or whatever goes through the.

A

Soil and hits uh the soil is underneath um that water can't be over. Can we pump it.

G

Back into the street or another connection, that'll be in the farmhouse you're welcome.

A

The pumping yeah yes well and we're down quite a hills, and I would be willing to.

A

Come to your house pick up and talk to you about it in greater detail.

A

G

Look at our basement and redone right now.

G

Sealed nebraska is mitigation. Give me a call like one more time. What's a good time for that yeah.

A

Okay next question: thank you. You're welcome. I live across the street from uh I guess, literally.

H

Between lexi's and bloomington okay, and are the concerns that crosswalk that you've completely.

H

Brought up right now, all the cars can cross the street from, as you know, lexi's along our.

H

Side in that building and the visibility out of the last part of the crosswalk is horrible. It's.

H

Probably 20 feet off the crossbow, so literally, when you go into that crosswalk we have to.

H

Stop stick your head around the vehicle check this. We know how people start with crosslines.

H

And you know it is a lot better in this town. Well from my experience, but what we're hoping for this.

H

Project like like a lot of them, have push a button flashes and I know they're trying to.

H

Slow, the traffic down, it seems like that's a good place to slow it down and everything's getting.

H

Close to the channel again the disability and that crossword is horrible. Yeah is there lights, so you.

C

The answer is, is that the job's been engineered, let's see what gets built and, let's see if we have.

A

To read the status supplement, so we're hoping that makes sense will be a flashlight, and you.

A

Know I mean they're expensive they're, not crazy expensive, but but let's see what what gets built.

A

With pedestrian accommodations vhb, the design for the stream.

A

And all all the crosswalks and stuff, let's see what they did.

D

Down the road creates a slower, okay, many minutes, those calls yes, but again, we're.

H

Taking around the vehicle right no and they did change like the paint marks. So if you're.

G

Coming at it for a while and you're taking a right that gets pretty better, because I.

E

Know there before and it kind of different it's a throwing squad that kind of holds.

E

One or down so that we have a little more visibility.

E

For a little while, it's gonna be a mess, while I'm out there anyway, so everybody.

E

A

Yeah, so the pedestrian to be able to see it you'll have a better view, because.

D

You'll be out there standing on the curb in front of the car instead of back yeah.

F

Yes, sir, I uh john dirk and I own a property at uh 392 and 394 as it did reached on the.

A

Corner of union in islington, my question is somewhat personal. I just granite steps.

A

On the front, they go right out to the sidewalk and there's part like sort of the bottom steps.

A

Crooked yeah and I don't know what the cause is, but I don't is that something that would be.

A

Addressed uh in the construction process, or is that something I need to contract someone else.

A

With not only speaking, it's your property, it's not something that rogers responsible for. However,.

A

If you wanted a higher somebody who works with stone and fix it, one of the sidewalks all gone.

A

And disturbed, we can definitely work with you to accommodate them. Okay, so who? Who can I coordinate.

A

Roger he's your guy on my card, you said uh 394 392. yeah. Yes, I talked to yeah. I thought I was.

I

Thinking I've talked to a couple of your attendants.

J

Yeah, we'll take a look at that on. I know I gave a couple of years: okay,.

J

Somebody else, no that's it: okay, yeah, and also with that. Just thank you.

A

The drug does get slightly adjusted, we're talking inches, probably won't notice. It.

E

Won't through the construction phase, so eventually I'm going to be out there in.

E

The next couple weeks and kind of adjusting those elevations anyway. So at some point, if.

A

That road comes up a little. It might cover a little more of that step and when I step.

A

Itself is bad yeah, it's a strapping one yeah yeah! If I can fix it. Okay, all right.

A

No no questions for being again.

A

I know this and I'm part of the project coming down between the sidewalks and a little bit.

H

Have a grass area, I guess two questions: are they going to be doing that down towards the end of the.

H

Number between now and no you're getting an art escaping, and the second question is: why do they do.

H

What's the reason they're having a grass area between the sidewalk and the room? Well, that's a really powerful question. I mean the reason why we do that.

A

So the snow has a place to live in the winter time, so that the file that's following the road pushes.

A

The snowing the sidewalk tractor can actually be on the sidewalk and is not fighting with the.

A

Plow the snow goes in the middle, so we get a fully cleared sidewalk. We get a fully clear road, so we.

A

Can park on the edge and the car's not sticking on the road, so it's basically to give a place.

H

A little safer experience when you're a pedestrian you're working on the side.

A

On the sidewalk right next to a road, especially if it's not a parking lane.

A

It's you know, I like to believe it's comfortable, but it's not applicable.

A

For everybody, you know what I mean that grass strip just kind of separates you from.

A

From traveling driver to support that makes you feel more comfortable, just curious. Okay,.

A

We have two people on online, so we're going to take their questions. They have.

A

Anybody else has a question: okay, so kevin goldman.

A

Chad, can you hear us.

K

Okay, um did I am I muted or oh, we can hear you now. Okay, great. I had a question.

K

About what whether there will be street trees, there will be street trees. That's a.

A

Good question: we didn't bring that up. um We are planting several trees in the workshop.

K

Okay, um thank you. Yeah. The plants are online on the project page.

A

So you can see them, you can look it up and you can see where the trees are planned to go.

K

Wonderful: okay, yep, there's pdfs online that you can look at.

K

Okay, great thank you. You're welcome liz, brater, hi liz.

L

Can you hear me okay, I can hear you now: okay, great good. um I I love the project. It's it.

L

Looks great so far so good. um The only thing that I noticed last time when um islington street went.

L

To one lane is that uh state street became an interesting driving experience, so I was hoping.

L

That intermittently, we could have police officers hanging out on the corners on state street as well.

L

As mcdonough street to remind people that the reason stop signs are, there are for you to stop.

L

um The purpose of those stop signs is to mitigate people flying down state street.

L

As well as mcdonough street and a lot of people know those streets exist and use them.

L

As shortcuts and the way they shortcut them is by not at all stopping or barely stopping.

L

When the traffic gets backed up and their frustration level gets high, so I'm hoping we.

L

Could have a little bit more presence on those two streets when the traffic is only one lane.

A

We will have to send your concerns over to cheating importance.

L

Okay, thank you very much and we'll take charlie.

A

Hi charlie, can you hear me we can hear you a quick question for you guys. I live in the condos across.

J

The street from goodwin park is the sidewalk on you know across the street, from good weather is.

J

That sidewalk going to be torn up and destroyed over because it's relatively it is even though.

J

It's relatively new, oh across from no across from building, no just um just the brick strip.

A

Because we have to put in the lighting, so the concrete sidewalk itself will stay intact. Okay,.

A

um Should I promise the developers we do because they they were so confident that we were going to.

A

Destroy the sidewalk when we were rebuilding it, they didn't want to pay for that. Sidewalk.

A

So I told them that we would not destroy the sidewalk when we built the project. I think.

A

That engine yeah, so we were doing the handicap ramp on either side but other than that. That.

A

Concrete sidewalk's, gonna stay and we're just gonna have to or replace the bricks that are.

A

In that brick strap once the lighting conduit goes through, okay good to know. Thank you. Okay,.

C

Yeah um the goldman's did you have another question.

F

uh No, we just forgot to take our hand down sorry, okay, that was me too true. Okay, so.

J

um There's so many pops up, but does anybody else any questions.

I

um Between salem cabbage failure would be okay,.

I

um I mean our building needs a lot of work just in general. I didn't know that that sidewalk section.

I

Is going to be uh bumped out further right or inside gonna stay the way it is getting.

B

That looks like it'll stay, the same all right.

E

But there'll be a brick strip, yeah yeah, the curb stays pretty much. In the same, I talked.

E

To scott oh yeah, scott yeah, and um so some of the brick to the granite curve stays above.

J

The same location goes up and down a couple: inches um five foot, sidewalk and then kind.

E

Of where the here so that kind of gets redone, and then we provide you with a new silverstone.

E

Drainage job in new water, you actually get the greatest show to each other, sometimes.

I

Perfect yeah. So that's a that's a good point, so we are going to provide a drainage stuff to each.

A

Swollen house, um not that not the houses that are um right hand is all their water goes on the back.

A

Yes, they're already taken care of it, but those of you that are up on the street you'll get a we'll.

A

Give them a six inch plastic pipe. So what we've done is we've taken our best daughter, where that's.

A

Going to go and speaking to get what your downfall is and the reason why we do that is twofold. One.

A

Trying to capture as much storm water as we can so it's not running on the sidewalk once it comes.

A

Down the roof gutters, you don't want it still on the sidewalk, you'll be any ice in the pedestrians.

A

Reason number one reason number two: a lot of times: people have their cell phones tied in to their.

A

Sanitary sewer, which is very nice, but they have no place else to put it right now, so that connection.

A

Is also there for that, so that if you have a sump pump and disconnected judge, but um if you could.

A

Make arrangements once you get your black storm water pipe put your sump pump water in there and.

A

That way, the silver treatment plant doesn't have to treat your sump pump. So that's the reason why.

A

We put that and it's fine, it's not a cheap thing to do, but it'd be really worth it um it just it.

A

Takes a lot of that water out of the system and it's just less sewer than we all have to pay for.

A

When you get water disorders, because your bill, when people do that, even though you don't have.

A

It you're paying for somebody else's roof water. So that's what you're going to think about it.

A

Right anybody else have a question.

E

Well sure man I just wanted, I just wanted to add that um you know. Obviously, if you know.

E

During the course of the work, people have like delivery schedules, like appliances or.

E

um Big deliveries that feel free to you know we can well applying for san marino, but if they know.

E

Enough ahead of time, you know that that stuff is available; it's they have. They have the ability to.

E

Coordinate that stuff, so you know you give them a little notice and say hey. I get a delivery coming.

E

This this does this particular day work, or should I try to go another day, I think they can work with.

E

You guys to try to accommodate that. um You know rogers, like I said, roger's obviously out there.

E

Every day, uh brad from our offices out there today and if there's any questions, concerns whatever.

E

Regarding the project, don't hesitate to reach out to these guys and talk to them, and you know.

E

Get some help or get some answers. That's part of the reason why they're out there and usually they.

E

Can you know we can resolve most of everything almost right then, and there women within any.

E

Or so, depending on where it is um so, don't don't hesitate to reach out to the people on site and.

E

uh Get yourself one more thing, I I forgot to mention it um in the course of doing our.

A

Basement surveys, damn rush has been on a lot of the basements already services.

A

A couple of um majority of the ones in the first page, some sometimes.

A

um So the one I mean like that, that garage has replaces.

A

And in 1890 a common practice was to use the steel pipe to go from the main into the house and they.

A

Would galvanize the pipe thinking that would last forever, but what we found is is that the.

A

Water running through the pipe eventually wears away the zinc, and then you can a bare iron pipe.

A

With water running through it, what happens is the pipe loss and it rots from the inside out.

A

And uh yeah, if you have a gallon, I explained you should replace it and the only reason the.

A

Way, you can television go down, the base cut, are copper. Water service coming in will be.

A

Green, usually with the corrosion, you know the cool copper grows. I mean where galvanized pike.

A

Will grow rust so if you have a rusty pipe coming through your wall, uh now is the time.

A

To replace that and get rid of that uh because when when it does blow it's pretty usually it's.

A

Really, even very expensive, roger is going to be now replacing all the pipes anyway.

A

We're going to be working right by the front of your house and we need to coordinate that.

A

So anybody who's here or listening, you should just check your basement. Go down there and just.

A

Make sure that you know carbon pipe the wall? If you don't, let us know we can coordinate.

A

It'll be a lot less expensive. Typically, if that goes, and it's not a project going on, it's a six.

A

Seven eight nine ten thousand dollars uh versus you know. Maybe a thousand dollars don't need to.

A

Go over there, so it's a big deal so just checking, if you want you want to know about it, don't be the.

A

Victim same thing for future construction, the silver pipe we're providing is typically large.

A

Enough to encompass any future construction projects but water, you know half the time.

E

We'll leave the water and somebody wishes they had increased it or they planning on taking a.

J

Single fancy tournament, which they went from a one inch laptop. So if you're, whether you're on.

A

This first phase or phase 2a or 2b, which hasn't been awarded yet um just make sure you get over.

J

The water department or myself and if you're, going to increase it now is the time to increase.

J

It I don't once we paid that road, then we're not allowed to go back in there for x amount of years.

J

Yeah right here, things to think about you have any questions feel free to reach out to us.

G

Okay, okay, my cards are here, I'm available, but I'll work for you. Okay. So if you have.

A

Questions, let us know I'll throw these up on the table grab one on the way out. Thank you. Okay,.
