'='~Q~ <br />~ G!<Z)DO <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />May 3, 2000 <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Joe Lynch, City Administrator <br />Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Director '7.1). <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Cleveland Avenue Railroad Bridge Replacement <br />Pre-Construction Meeting <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Backl!round <br />The Ramsey Country Public Works Department held a Pre-Constmction Meeting on <br />May 2, 2000, to discuss the railroad bridge replacement and the effects ofthe project on <br />the cities involved, along with utilities and traffic. Johnson Brothers of Litchfield, <br />Minnesota, has been awarded the project. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Office Trailer <br />Johnson Brothers asked permission to put a temporary construction office trailer near our <br />lift station at County Road E2 and Cleveland Avenue. They like to have their office <br />separated from the job for privacy and noise reasons. I indicated that should not be a <br />problem if no equipment is stored there, traffic is kept to one or two pickups, the area is <br />kept clean, and any restoration needed is done immediately after project completion. If <br />the City Councilor staff disagrees please let me know. <br /> <br />Utilitv Conflicts <br />Arden Hills has only water mains in the immediate area of the bridge project. Due to the <br />type of pipe (brittle cast iron), I have asked Johnson Brothers to contact the City when <br />they begin pile driving, or do any cutting or filling near the water main. The County and <br />Johnson Brothers also agreed to move oue of the City's hydrants, near the bridge, to a <br />more suitable location, at no cost to the City. <br /> <br />Road Closinl! <br />It was decided that the contractor should install signs on Cleveland A venue as soon as <br />possible, indicating the road will be closed on May 15th, which is the day demolition of <br />the existing bridge is scheduled to begin. <br /> <br />The planned-posted detour will be County Road E2, to New Brighton Road, to County <br />Road D, but attendees realized that drivers would choose their own routes. IfThom <br />Drive is heavily impacted by the project, the City may need to install a temporary "No <br />Thru Traffic" sign on each end of Thom, as that street is in poor condition. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Proiect ComDletion <br />Johnson Brothers have scheduled the proj ect for completion with traffic back to normal <br />on September 15, 2000. <br />
