Question: When is the WASA portion slated TO start? <br />AVlSwer: Assistant City Manager/Service Jorge Vera advised that it will possibly <br />start by tbe end of July 2007 or beginning of August 2007. <br />b. Question: Is the idea to have tho road contractor start the job after W ASA? <br />Answer: Yes. W ASA will be going the deepest and therefore starting the work <br />first. It will be the 17211d Street contractor's choice to install cross drains or <br />whatever is necessary at the time that W ASA has the ditcbes open Of wait until <br />tbey have bacl,-filled to grade. Tbis contract is going to be nwarded around <br />August 16th, 2007 so that we llre not really loo),ing of the 17211l! Street contractor <br />to start until the end of August or the beginning of September. The 172m! Street <br />contractor will not be present at W ASA's preconstruction meeting. <br />c. Question: Since you mentioned laterals, will WASA get the head start and then the <br />172rJd Street contractor would have to coordinate? <br />Answer: Yes <br />d. Question: It is not their laterals hut ours that we would have to put in for our <br />drainage .~ystem? <br />Answer: Cross-drains arc shallow compared to the sanitary sewer. <br />e. Question: Will they have much restoration in their contract? <br />Answer: Yes. Their original contract provides for the resurfacing of the road <br />and they indicated that it would include a change order on their part. It would <br />be tal{en out of the sanitary sewer contractor's contract. Vou should bid on <br />what we have nnd that would be the 8" of base rock and 1 y,," of whntevcr it is. <br />You will be doing the paving. The road will be closed. When they get in there <br />,down the center of that road, they will close off sections of that. People will <br />have to come in.through North Bay Road to have access to the property. If you <br />are at Collins Avenue, there will be no turning into 172"d Street. <br />f Question: The 172nd Street contractor will have to do it in segments because we don '/ <br />have a wide roadway there? <br />Answer: Assistant City Mnnager/Service Jorge Vera advised that WASA will try <br />to }ieep one (1) one-way lane always open. Their concern is at Collins Avenue <br />where tbe manholes are so deep that, without shoring, it will be a very large hole. <br />This area has sugar sand. You will not have to be digging that deep. By the <br />time you arrive, the first section will be ready at grade to install the various <br />components of this job. They will be shallow so that you can maintain that one- <br />way in. <br />g. Question: Do they have extensive work west of/he connectingpoint of Collins Avenue <br />on 172nd Street? <br />Answer: Yes. They have the center of that road all tbe way to the end. <br />h. Question: What is the budget for this project? <br />Answer: Tbe budget will be included witb the minutes. <br />t. Question: Sugar sand was mentioned, is that what is mostly there? <br />Answer: Yes. As you know, most of Sunny Isles Beach was created by dredging <br />so there could be a conglomerate of material. It has been dredged and filled; <br /> <br />_J <br />
