Allowable working hours for the project will be 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays, and 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays if necessary. There may be times when the contractor must work outside these hours due to construction activities or due to weather. Project website to post time changes.
Access & Parking
When the street is under construction, the contractor will need all the space in the street. During construction, portions of the street within the construction limits will be closed to vehicular traffic. Properties that have driveways on the closed street portions will not have vehicle access during construction. Residents at these locations will need to utilize nearby, permitted vehicle parking on adjacent streets or nearby streets. Parking will not be permitted on the street during construction, all hours.
Please park in driveways.
Mail Service
A community mailbox will be established for residents located in stages actively under construction. Mailboxes will be removed and reinstalled by the contractor as part of the contract.
Garbage, Recycling and Yard Waste
Place garbage, recycling, and yard waste will continue as normal. The contractor will move bins to the collection spot and return them to your property.
Work Area
It is very common on these types of projects that area residents (especially children) become quite curious about the work the Contractor is performing. We ask that you please be respectful of and stay well clear of construction zones. Many hazards and dangers exist from heavy machinery, trenches, loose material, confined spaces, hot asphalt, etc. and often are not recognizable by the public. The Contractor has responsibility to ensure safety on the project and within the construction area. Any direction from the Contractor regarding safety must be heeded; likewise, if you observe an unsafe condition, please report it to the inspector immediately.
Turf Restoration
Sod will be installed after all work is completed when the weather allows. The sod will be maintained by the contractor until acceptance. “Maintain” as defined in the contract includes weed control and watering.
After that period, it becomes the property owner’s responsibility to maintain the new turf as part of their lawn – providing water, mowing and other necessary care. Notice will be given. Mowing too soon or too short can damage or even kill new turf. Set the mower at its highest level; never cut the new turf shorter than 3”.
Driveways
Punch List
Communications
The construction process can test one’s patience. However, when construction is complete, the upgraded roadway, sidewalk, storm water and water system will serve the neighborhood for years to come. While the negatives of construction are in many ways unavoidable, the city aims to reduce the burden through working with the City’s contractor to minimize disruption for residents. Door hangers will be utilized as a means of communication along with the project website, please pay attention to those notices.
