Maintenance of Traffic/Construction Phases• Phase I - new temporary traffic shift at south

FPL construction and relocation Construct ponds Construct Desoto County force main Construct drainage structures and features Construct new Northbound roadway

• Phase II all traffic on new roadway Complete drainage structures and features Reconstruct existing roadway Beard St to Wood

Rd Mill for cross slope correction Overbuild for superelevation Thicket Rd to Beard

St

• Phase III open 4-lane configuration Friction Course, Pavement Marking, Signing



Desoto County Utility Plans • Water and force main

90% plans revised

• Reviewed Signed/Sealed 100% plans provided by County

• Locates performed by Desoto County Utilities personnel

• 75 conflict locations identified and addressed


AWARENESS OF PROJECT ISSUES Understanding of Project Issues

Utility Adjustments

• Not identified in 90% Plans

• Contacted Greg Coker, FPL Distribution

• FPL Transmission Utility Work Schedule (UWS) not submitted

• Transmission / Distribution joint-use line in conflict from begin project to Thicket Rd

• Distribution line in conflict from Thicket Rd to end project



Utility Adjustments

• Transmission requires 180 days acquisition before construction

• Transmission requires 120 days (estimated) to construct

• Distribution UWS shows 193 days construction

• Distribution not concurrent – follows Transmission

• Demolition 30 days (estimated)

• Nearly one year of work concurrent with Phase I roadway



Utility Adjustments

• FPL obtained Desoto County and CenturyLink plans

• Requested special clearing and grubbing requirements

• Will request special trench box requirements

• Possible Distribution construction north of Thicket Rd to be concurrent with Transmission construction

• CRITICAL PATH



• We obtained CenturyLink UWS and RGB drawing submittal dated August 24, 2012

• Appears to address all known conflicts

• Construct new fiber optic line prior to construction start

• Remove abandoned fiber optic line

• Adjust lines at west ends of new drainage structures

Utility Adjustments



Level(3) Utility Adjustments

• We contacted Level 3 representative shown in 90% plans

• Contact is not valid

• Alternate contact has not responded

Recommendation: Update Plans to Reflect Correct Contact & Phone Number



Utility Adjustments

• We propose to provide a schedule showing the relationship of the UWS from each utility to the contractor for use in coordinating with utilities and developing the construction schedule.



Right-of-Way

• Existing structures remain in right of way – 5 locations

• Residence south of Wood Road appears occupied

• Right-of-way must be cleared prior to FPL construction

RECOMMENDATION: Advise District Production staff to confirm right-of-way is cleared by letting date.



Pond Construction• Pond Siting Report

indicates poorly drained soils

• High water tables

• FPC ponds were challenging to construct on adjacent project

• Pond excavation provides embankment

RECOMMENDATION: Emphasize Pond Construction Prior to Rainy Season



Storm Water Management

• Existing off-site flow is east to west

• Maintain positive flow of off-site storm water flow through project

• Treat construction runoff

RECOMMENDATION: Utilize ponds for construction stormwater treatment during construction.



Drainage Construction Inspection• 15,000+ feet of new storm sewer

and drains

• Video and laser profile required on all pipe less than 48”

RECOMMENDATION: Schedule meeting with Paul Harkins and drainage contractor to define inspection, reporting and submittal requirements.

RECOMMENDATION: Schedule multiple submittals as each drainage basin is completed.



Plans• Connection of storm sewer to cross drains with collars

• Small pipe connections will be maintenance issue at CD-01 and CD-03

RECOMMENDATION: Use design similar to treatment used at CD-05.



Asphalt MillingERC Comments Indicated Arcadia Maintenance Wants Asphalt Millings

RECOMMENDATION: If this request is honored, a pay item plan note should be added to advise the contractor regarding the disposition of millings so cost is accounted for by contractor when bidding the project.



Railroad

• Railroad adjacent to west right of way from begin construction to Thicket Rd.

• Construction limits are well away from rails.

• CSX does not permit equipment to cross rails

RECOMMENDATION: Advise contractor of CSX regulation at preconstruction meeting.

RECOMMENDATION: In the event conditions change, notify Lisa Revell-Petro, GEC Rail Coordinator.


AWARENESS OF PROJECT ISSUES Critical Inspection Guidelines

Environmental Compliance• De-Watering Permit• Commencement/Completion Notices to Agencies• SWPPP/NPDES • Survey of Outfall Structures & Treatment Area Elevations

for As-Builts• Notify District Environmental Administrator

Endangered Species & Historical Artifacts• Correct Proctors Used• Limit Ponding on Roadway

Asphalt• Cross Slopes Checked• Compaction Per Rolling Procedures• Drop-Off Requirements Met • Spread Rates Checked for Compliance


AWARENESS OF PROJECT ISSUES Critical Inspection Guidelines

Concrete• Check Tickets Against Design Mix• Verify Counter & Water Meters Work Properly• Verify Sampling & Testing of Structural Concrete

Drainage Installation• Pipe Set to Line & Grade• Joints Wrapped• Plastic & Metal Pipe >36” Tested for Deflection• Pipes < 48” Video Inspected• BackFill Pipe Trench in 4 Zones
