This is the Friday update for the 300\400 block of N Washington Streetscape project: 
As all of you are well aware the project has ground to a halt with no significant work being done for the last two weeks or so due to some pretty significant issues that needed to be worked through as well as weather. As of the date of this email most of those issues have been resolved or dealt with which will allow the project to restart and barring any other unforeseen issues stay on track and on schedule. 
With that being said here is the update for the previous week and a two week look ahead to scheduled activities. 
Previous week: 
· City crews were able to isolate the old hydrant last Sunday (3/10/2024) morning and remove it from the work area which will allow the continued forming of the sidewalk. · Change Order #1 was approved at the Council Meeting on Thursday night (3/7/2024) allowing the contractor to begin procuring the materials. 
· City crews were able to expose the existing storm drain on the southwest corner of the 300 block to verify condition and the connection point for the new storm drain installation. 
Two week look ahead: 
· Stormwater pipe and fittings have been ordered by the contractor and are scheduled to ship on 3/29/2024 with estimated arrival at the job site within 5 days (on or about April 4th or 5th). 
· Pending any additional rain over the weekend the contractors crews will move back in to the project site on Monday. Work will include the forming for the sidewalks, curbs, and gutters along the east side as well as work needing to be done on the two inlet boxes located on the east side. 
As always these schedules are subject to weather conditions but hopefully the project can get a restart and move in a positive and forward direction. As always if there are any questions please feel free to call or email me and I will get you answers as soon as I can. Thank you.
