MLK in August and installed trench blocks consisting of 2' sections of flowable fill material <br />poured into strategic sections of the trench in an attempt to slow down the amout of ground water <br />leaching from 20th NE. They then removed the wet material from the trenches, allowed it to dry <br />out, and re -compacted the soil so as to meet the minimum requirements. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: On Saturday, September 19, 2020, the construction inspector notified city <br />staff and the design engineer that all material has been reworked and that all trenches had passed <br />the compaction and moisture content tests. They are now ready to install the final street repairs. <br />The city street department has completed repairs to the road base in locations that are outside of <br />contractor's work area. This will help prepare the entire street for the upcoming overlay. <br />Both 17th and MLK will receive a full width asphalt resurfacing. The original plan was for 2" of <br />mill and overlay, however staff is working with the engineer and contractor on an alternative for <br />increasing the overlay thickness to 4" to improve longevity of the pavement. The contractor is <br />scheduled to have the paving crew onsite on October 5th to begin the milling and overlay <br />operations. The street resurfacing is anticipated for completion on October 10th. Staff has asked <br />ORC to prioritize the street repair and to take any opportunity for an earlier paving operation <br />should it be available. <br />BUDGET: No impact. All repairs paid by the contractor. <br />RECOMMENDATION: None. Discussion only. <br />
