WEBVTT 00:00:00.258 --> 00:00:08.755 - All right, folks, we've got 525. We will start right at 530 here. We did have a couple items. We had 00:00:08.755 --> 00:00:17.337 - one item removed from the agenda. That's the appeal on the notice of violation. Otherwise, the agenda 00:00:17.337 --> 00:00:22.974 - is correct for this evening's meeting. What staff do we have here? 00:00:23.074 --> 00:00:29.223 - Andrew, if we start getting really low on seats, can you run into the, just grab a couple out of there? 00:00:29.223 --> 00:00:35.253 - I don't think we have too many more folks coming, but yes. But do you want to thank everybody for the 00:00:35.253 --> 00:00:41.342 - adjustment on schedules? We have city council starting at 630 in the council chambers and election day 00:00:41.342 --> 00:00:47.491 - yesterday on our normal board day had us all kind of scrambling to find when we could actually get this 00:00:47.491 --> 00:00:51.038 - meeting in. So appreciate everybody being flexible on that. 00:00:52.258 --> 00:01:02.591 - And then the agenda and packet information, Miranda made just the final updates on the Google Drive 00:01:02.591 --> 00:01:13.751 - after the work session there. So we should be pretty well set. The audio ID was up here. Too many computers 00:01:13.751 --> 00:01:20.158 - in front of me. Did you turn it on? Yeah, I will hear it. OK. 00:01:33.506 --> 00:02:02.558 - Hurry up, hurry up. 00:02:05.218 --> 00:02:19.013 - Then for anybody that doesn't have plans this evening, I recommend you go cheer on the Hoosier soccer 00:02:19.013 --> 00:02:32.537 - team as they go for the Big Ten Championship against Michigan State. It'll be a big night. Are they 00:02:32.537 --> 00:02:34.430 - playing here? 00:02:34.626 --> 00:02:43.843 - Yep. It's 8 o'clock and if they win, they win the Big Ten regular season. You go ahead. Wave to sign. 00:02:43.843 --> 00:02:53.240 - Oh, I'll have to go say hi. I'll get my little buddy back. She doesn't have a high school football game 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:56.222 - to go to to watch her boyfriend. 00:03:23.906 --> 00:03:37.656 - Check, check, captions working. Perfect. James, can you hear us? Sweet. Will you check your audio just 00:03:37.656 --> 00:03:46.334 - to make sure we can hear you? Check, check, check. Yep. Perfect. 00:03:56.994 --> 00:04:04.233 - All righty folks, it's 529 p.m. on Wednesday, November 4th, 2026. We are in the McCloskey Conference 00:04:04.233 --> 00:04:11.687 - Room at City Hall at 401 North Morton Street in Bloomington, Indiana. This is going to be the regularly 00:04:11.687 --> 00:04:19.284 - scheduled Board of Public Works meeting that has been rescheduled for today, November 4th, 2026, 530 p.m. 00:04:19.284 --> 00:04:25.950 - here. There is a Zoom link on the agenda that's posted on the city website and the calendar. 00:04:26.018 --> 00:04:32.926 - That zoom link has a meeting ID and a passcode for any members of the public that want to attend the 00:04:32.926 --> 00:04:39.971 - meeting virtually. We do have board member James Roach attending virtually this evening and member for 00:04:39.971 --> 00:04:46.880 - President Elizabeth Caron in person and Vice President Kyla Cox Deckard in person. There are quite a 00:04:46.880 --> 00:04:54.814 - few items on tonight's agenda and I do have 530 PM so I'm going to turn it over to Board President Elizabeth Caron. 00:04:55.778 --> 00:05:02.677 - Thank you, Adam. Good evening, everyone. I call to order tonight's meeting of the Board of Public Works 00:05:02.677 --> 00:05:09.709 - on November 4th, 2026. First, we have messages from board members. Are there any messages from the board? 00:05:09.709 --> 00:05:16.541 - Seeing none, we will move into Title VI abatements with a request for continuous abatement at 715 West 00:05:16.541 --> 00:05:17.470 - Dixie Street. 00:05:20.386 --> 00:05:26.333 - everybody I'm Rob with the city of Bloomington Hand Department I am asking for permission to a base 00:05:26.333 --> 00:05:32.517 - full name please no Rob council I apologize with the city of Bloomington Hand Department and I'm asking 00:05:32.517 --> 00:05:38.702 - for a continuous abatement at 715 West Dixie Street first issued ticket was August 17th we subsequently 00:05:38.702 --> 00:05:44.708 - issued more tickets to the property address and we've gotten no response from the owner so as I said 00:05:44.708 --> 00:05:48.990 - I would like to move for a continuous abatement I'm happy to answer any 00:05:50.882 --> 00:05:58.005 - Thank you questions from the board. Do you know about how long it's been out of compliance? This has 00:05:58.005 --> 00:06:05.622 - been an ongoing thing and a member of City Council actually brought it to mind and the directors attention. 00:06:05.622 --> 00:06:13.027 - So that's when I started right around August 17th and taking that property. I think that is my question. 00:06:13.027 --> 00:06:17.470 - I was gonna ask if there's been any past history. Yep, that's. 00:06:17.730 --> 00:06:24.427 - That's where it is. It looks like I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like it's been abandoned for quite 00:06:24.427 --> 00:06:31.125 - some time. That was a good question. All right. Any comments from the public on this item? Again, if 00:06:31.125 --> 00:06:37.955 - you are on Zoom, use the raise hand function or chat. If you are in the McCloskey conference room, you 00:06:37.955 --> 00:06:43.326 - may approach the table. None on Zoom. All right. Seeing none, is there a motion? 00:06:43.842 --> 00:06:51.876 - I move that we approve the request for continuous abatement at 715 West Dixie Street. Second. With the 00:06:51.876 --> 00:06:59.676 - motion and a second, I will call the roll, Roach. Aye. Cox-Duckard. Aye. Caron. Aye. Motion passes. 00:06:59.676 --> 00:07:07.476 - Thank you. Next is petitions and remonstrances. This is a time for anyone from the public to make a 00:07:07.476 --> 00:07:12.702 - comment about something that is not on tonight's agenda. If anyone 00:07:12.834 --> 00:07:21.139 - Would like to make a comment may raise your hand or approach the table. It appears we have no members 00:07:21.139 --> 00:07:29.362 - of the public on zoom right now, so OK. Seeing none, we will move along to tonight's consent agenda, 00:07:29.362 --> 00:07:38.074 - which is resolution in 2026 dash 054 update to resolution 2026 dash 050. Art on a traffic box for downtown 00:07:38.074 --> 00:07:41.086 - Bloomington to specify new location. 00:07:41.634 --> 00:07:50.105 - Resolution 2026-044, ITS surplus declaration to Pantry 279 Inc.

Preliminary engineering contract with Crossroads Engineering 00:07:58.265 --> 00:08:06.270 - for TAP and Vanguard. Contract with All-Star Paving Inc. for West Dodds Curb Ramp Project and Payroll. 00:08:06.270 --> 00:08:10.622 - Does the board have any questions on the consent agenda 00:08:13.570 --> 00:08:21.953 - Seeing none, is there public comment on the consent agenda? No. Seeing none, is there a motion? I move 00:08:21.953 --> 00:08:30.417 - that we approve the consent agenda for this evening's meeting on November 4th, 2026. Second. We'll call 00:08:30.417 --> 00:08:35.870 - the roll. Roach? Aye. Cox-Duckard? Aye. Caron? Aye. Motion passes. 00:08:37.346 --> 00:08:43.405 - First on new business is a contract with Kimley Horn and Associates for Preliminary Engineering for 00:08:43.405 --> 00:08:49.464 - Safety Improvements and Plan Maintenance on College Avenue and Walnut Street. Good evening. My name 00:08:49.464 --> 00:08:55.583 - is Neil Copper. I'm with the Engineering Department. So this is a new design contract for us. I want 00:08:55.583 --> 00:09:02.127 - to start by discussing the College and Walnut Corridor Study and primarily want to do that to differentiate 00:09:02.127 --> 00:09:06.974 - and show that this is not that study, but make sure there's no confusion there. 00:09:07.106 --> 00:09:13.536 - The corridor study has been going on for years now. It is in kind of final reviews, but it has not been 00:09:13.536 --> 00:09:19.842 - approved. It is not finalized. That study includes many different things, but one of the more visible 00:09:19.842 --> 00:09:26.086 - and prominent recommendations of that study is converting both College and Walnut to two-way streets 00:09:26.086 --> 00:09:29.054 - instead of their current one-way configuration. 00:09:29.506 --> 00:09:36.670 - This study is a very, it's a very long term plan. So our near term projects, our mid term projects are 00:09:36.670 --> 00:09:43.972 - not going to be implementing all of the pieces of this study. Certainly not the two way change for that. 00:09:43.972 --> 00:09:51.136 - The project before us tonight has federal funding support on the order of $5 million for construction. 00:09:51.136 --> 00:09:58.369 - We've kind of been informally referring to it as a low hanging fruit project because we're not tackling 00:09:58.369 --> 00:09:59.134 - any of the 00:09:59.234 --> 00:10:05.357 - you know, more challenging, more impactful pieces that you might see in the corridor study. It's more 00:10:05.357 --> 00:10:11.419 - maintenance focused and also some safety and accessibility improvements. So one of the big pieces of 00:10:11.419 --> 00:10:17.422 - the project is the replacement of five existing traffic signals along the corridor. These are older 00:10:17.422 --> 00:10:23.485 - signals that have maintenance issues that have been prioritized. They need work. As we are designing 00:10:23.485 --> 00:10:26.366 - those, we will keep in mind the corridor study. 00:10:26.658 --> 00:10:32.902 - whatever the recommendation of it is, we will make sure that our design works for the current conditions, 00:10:32.902 --> 00:10:38.851 - but also for the future conditions to the extent that we can. So that might be putting a signal pole 00:10:38.851 --> 00:10:44.741 - in a location strategically that it can work for either configuration, designing the foundation, so 00:10:44.741 --> 00:10:50.691 - that if we have to add a mast arm in the future, we can do that without having to replace the entire 00:10:50.691 --> 00:10:52.222 - thing. Another example of 00:10:52.386 --> 00:10:59.658 - improvements in the project that can work in the current and future configuration is filling in a sidewalk 00:10:59.658 --> 00:11:06.794 - gap on College Avenue. So the east side of College between First and Second Street, there is no, there's 00:11:06.794 --> 00:11:13.726 - not a continuous sidewalk. All of the corridor study options included filling in that gap. So whether 00:11:13.726 --> 00:11:20.318 - that plan's approved or not, it's a project we would like to pursue. So that's included in here. 00:11:20.514 --> 00:11:28.679 - For the design, we did go through a request for proposals process. We selected Kimley Horne as the designer 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:36.390 - for the project. The contract is set at a not to exceed amount of $1,273,486 with construction of the 00:11:36.390 --> 00:11:43.951 - project eventually planned for 2030. Staff has reviewed and supports this contract and I'd be happy 00:11:43.951 --> 00:11:48.638 - to answer any questions. Thank you. Questions from the board. 00:11:53.794 --> 00:12:01.827 - Seeing none, is there any public comment on this item? Seeing none, is there a motion? I move that we 00:12:01.827 --> 00:12:10.096 - approve the contract with Kimley Horn and Associates for preliminary engineering for safety improvements 00:12:10.096 --> 00:12:17.971 - and plan maintenance on College Avenue and Wallet Street. Second. I will call the roll. Roach? Aye. 00:12:17.971 --> 00:12:22.302 - Cox-Dekard? Aye. Caron? Aye. Motion passes. Thank you. 00:12:23.138 --> 00:12:29.301 - Next is a right-of-way closure request for extension from Heidecker Wheat Lake within Fritz Terrace. 00:12:29.301 --> 00:12:35.646 - Hello, Zach Bell, Engineering. Heidecker Wheat Lake is requesting an extension of a previously approved 00:12:35.646 --> 00:12:42.236 - temporary right-of-way closure within the Fritz Terrace neighborhood to accommodate gas line modernization. 00:12:42.236 --> 00:12:48.643 - Affected streets include West Briarcliff Drive, Briarcliff Court, North Valley View Drive, West Parkview 00:12:48.643 --> 00:12:52.670 - Court, North Kingsley Drive, Meadow Lane, North Stonycrest Court, 00:12:52.930 --> 00:12:59.438 - North Stonycrest Road and North Orbrine Place. The request includes temporary lane restrictions as necessary 00:12:59.438 --> 00:13:05.468 - to complete the work. The closures are proposed from November 3rd, 2026 through December 23rd, 2026. 00:13:05.468 --> 00:13:11.797 - During normal construction hours, vehicular traffic will be maintained, shifted or rerouted in accordance 00:13:11.797 --> 00:13:18.186 - with the approved maintenance of traffic plan. Petitioners shall install and maintain all required signage 00:13:18.186 --> 00:13:20.574 - barricades and traffic control devices. 00:13:20.834 --> 00:13:27.473 - maintain access to adjacent properties and limit the closure to the minimum area and duration necessary 00:13:27.473 --> 00:13:34.113 - to complete the work. Engineering staff recommends that the Board of Public Works approve the requested 00:13:34.113 --> 00:13:41.072 - right-of-way closures subject to compliance with the approved maintenance of traffic plan and all applicable 00:13:41.072 --> 00:13:48.094 - permit requirements. Thank you. Questions from the board? We talked about in the staff report, it talks about 00:13:48.290 --> 00:13:57.516 - the vehicular traffic. Are there any anticipated restrictions for pedestrian? No, there is not sidewalk 00:13:57.516 --> 00:14:06.920 - in this neighborhood. So we don't expect any. Okay, so they'll they'll work with if there are pedestrians 00:14:06.920 --> 00:14:15.792 - navigating what is there, they'll just. Yes. This is a very low impact lane restriction. So I don't 00:14:15.792 --> 00:14:17.566 - I would expect that 00:14:18.082 --> 00:14:24.439 - pedestrians would navigate around it how they usually would just through the yards, not in the road. 00:14:24.439 --> 00:14:30.733 - And because this is an extension, I assume neighbors who live near these streets have been notified 00:14:30.733 --> 00:14:37.091 - as well that it will. Yes, yes, I've spoken to the contractor and he's going to let people know that 00:14:37.091 --> 00:14:43.070 - he is still out there. With the potential to be through the end of the calendar year, yes, OK. 00:14:47.138 --> 00:14:54.412 - Public comment on this item. Again, if you are on Zoom, feel free to use the raise hand function or 00:14:54.412 --> 00:15:01.831 - chat. Nothing on Zoom. I will call the roll. I'm sorry, is there a motion? I move that we approve the 00:15:01.831 --> 00:15:09.324 - right of way closure request for extension from Heidecker Wheat Lake within Pritz Terrace. Second. Now 00:15:09.324 --> 00:15:15.070 - I will call the roll. Roach? Aye. Cox-Deckard? Aye. Caron? Aye. Motion passes. 00:15:16.898 --> 00:15:23.360 - Next is a right of way closure request for Ms. Shalas. Please forgive us for mispronouncing that on 00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:30.081 - South Walnut Street. Zach Bell, engineering again. Ms. Shalas is requesting temporary sidewalk closures 00:15:30.081 --> 00:15:36.608 - adjacent to 404 South Washington Street to accommodate balcony railing replacement. The closures are 00:15:36.608 --> 00:15:43.070 - proposed to occur between November 16th, 2026 and November 20th, 2026 during normal business hours. 00:15:43.618 --> 00:15:49.629 - Specific work dates will be confirmed as the project schedule is finalized. The requested closures include 00:15:49.629 --> 00:15:55.303 - two sidewalk closures, one on South Walnut Street, closure of the sidewalk on the east side of South 00:15:55.303 --> 00:16:01.258 - Walnut Street with pedestrian traffic detoured to the west side of the street. The closure is anticipated 00:16:01.258 --> 00:16:06.876 - to last up to five days during normal business hours. East Smith Avenue, closure of the sidewalk on 00:16:06.876 --> 00:16:12.606 - the south side of East Smith Avenue with pedestrian traffic detoured to the north side of the street. 00:16:12.706 --> 00:16:18.193 - closure is anticipated to last up to five days during normal business hours. Shayless shall install 00:16:18.193 --> 00:16:23.899 - and maintain all required signage, barricades, and traffic control devices, maintain access to adjacent 00:16:23.899 --> 00:16:29.825 - properties, and limit closures to the minimum area and duration necessary to complete the work. Engineering 00:16:29.825 --> 00:16:35.311 - staff recommends that the Board of Public Works approve the requested right-of-way closures subject 00:16:35.311 --> 00:16:40.798 - to compliance with the approved maintenance of traffic plan and all applicable permit requirements. 00:16:42.754 --> 00:16:50.883 - Thank you. Questions from the board? I just want to note that the item on the agenda is closure requests 00:16:50.883 --> 00:16:58.702 - on South Walnut. The staff report talks about closures on South Walnut adjacent to South Washington. 00:16:58.702 --> 00:17:06.677 - So right, yeah, so what the address is Washington, the sidewalk closure, the address of the buildings, 00:17:06.677 --> 00:17:12.638 - Washington, the address, the vocation and sidewalk closure is Walnut Street. 00:17:12.834 --> 00:17:20.062 - Great. Thank you. There's not going to be any impacts on the alley between the buildings. Yes, but that 00:17:20.062 --> 00:17:27.498 - is a duration that does not require Board of Public Works approval. Just making sure that gets coordinated 00:17:27.498 --> 00:17:34.726 - with the school nearby. I think that kids use that alley to go back and forth between the two buildings 00:17:34.726 --> 00:17:42.718 - of the project school. Yes, absolutely. As those dates get known, we'll make sure that they get notified. Perfect. 00:17:46.210 --> 00:17:55.710 - Is there any public comment on this item? Seeing none, is there a motion? I move that we approve the 00:17:55.710 --> 00:18:05.587 - right of way closure request for Michelle us on South Walnut Street. Second, I will call the role Roach. 00:18:05.587 --> 00:18:15.934 - Hi Cox Deckard I Corone I motion passes. Next is a right of way closure request for Olympus on North Dunn St. 00:18:16.642 --> 00:18:22.466 - engineering again. Olympus Properties is requesting temporary right of way closures adjacent to 111 00:18:22.466 --> 00:18:28.406 - North Dunn Street to accommodate roofing work. The request includes an alley closure for the duration 00:18:28.406 --> 00:18:34.347 - of the project and a contingency sidewalk closure to be utilized only if necessary to safely complete 00:18:34.347 --> 00:18:40.229 - the work. The requested closures include alley closure, closure of the east west alley between North 00:18:40.229 --> 00:18:44.830 - Dunn Street and North Grand Street from November 16 through December 18, 2026. 00:18:45.634 --> 00:18:52.063 - Valley is proposed to remain closed for the duration of project. Sidewalk closure, which is a contingency, 00:18:52.063 --> 00:18:58.372 - will be on the west side of North Dunn Street with pedestrian traffic detoured to the east side of North 00:18:58.372 --> 00:19:04.501 - Dunn Street. This closure will occur only if necessary during normal construction hours and shall not 00:19:04.501 --> 00:19:10.750 - exceed 48 hours of total duration within the approved project period. Pedestrian vehicular traffic will 00:19:10.914 --> 00:19:16.362 - be maintained, detoured in accordance with the approved maintenance of traffic plan. The sidewalk closure 00:19:16.362 --> 00:19:21.862 - shall only be implemented when necessary to safely accommodate construction activities.

Engineering staff recommends that the Board of Public Works approve the requested right of way closures 00:19:38.370 --> 00:19:46.052 - subject to compliance with approved maintenance of traffic plan and all applicable permit requirements. 00:19:46.052 --> 00:19:53.585 - Thank you. Questions from the board has the property owner coordinated the plan with any of the other 00:19:53.585 --> 00:20:01.193 - surrounding properties that might need alley access for like, you know, sanitation. Yes, I have spoken 00:20:01.193 --> 00:20:07.102 - with Mike about that. Mike is also here if he wants to chime in on all of that. 00:20:07.394 --> 00:20:13.675 - All of them have been verbally. Should I come up here? Sure. And if you would state your name, please, 00:20:13.675 --> 00:20:19.651 - for the record. Thank you. My name is Mike Baltimore, maintenance manager for Olympus Properties. 00:20:19.651 --> 00:20:25.810 - And yes, all of the surrounding areas have been verbally notified and pending approval by the board. 00:20:25.810 --> 00:20:32.031 - They will receive a letter with the details that he just described, that Mr. Bell described. And they 00:20:32.031 --> 00:20:37.214 - have been notified. We do not anticipate the project to last a month. We anticipate. 00:20:37.506 --> 00:20:44.540 - two weeks, probably. We just have that as a safe date. The alley closure will be an imposition and everyone 00:20:44.540 --> 00:20:51.313 - has been notified to use alternate access to that alley. There are other alternate ways. So that alley, 00:20:51.313 --> 00:20:57.826 - you can access Osterio-Rago. Yes. And also parking for Rimsky Spoon off of 6, although that I think 00:20:57.826 --> 00:21:04.404 - you can come in off of 6, so everybody has alternate. As well as Grant, yes. As well as Grant. There 00:21:04.404 --> 00:21:06.814 - is a Grant entrance. Yes, thank you. 00:21:08.546 --> 00:21:18.155 - Yeah. Anything else from the board? Is there public comment on this item? Seeing none, is there a motion? 00:21:18.155 --> 00:21:27.221 - I move that we approve the right of way closure request for Olympus on North Dunn Street. Second. I 00:21:27.221 --> 00:21:36.830 - will call the roll. Roach? Aye. Cox Decker? Aye. Caron? Aye. Motion passes. Thank you. Thanks. Thank you. 00:21:37.122 --> 00:21:44.098 - Next up is a right-of-way closure request from McIntyre Brothers at the 700 block of North Madison Street. 00:21:44.098 --> 00:21:50.618 - Rebecca Davis, Engineering. McIntyre Brothers is requesting approval of a two-week sidewalk closure 00:21:50.618 --> 00:21:57.268 - wrapping the northwest corner of North Madison and West 11th Street to accommodate the re-sloping and 00:21:57.268 --> 00:22:01.310 - repair of the retaining wall adjacent to the Duke substation. 00:22:02.338 --> 00:22:08.811 - The request will provide two temporary crossing locations to allow for the detouring of pedestrians 00:22:08.811 --> 00:22:15.349 - to the adjacent sidewalks. The closures are proposed from late November to early December, including 00:22:15.349 --> 00:22:21.822 - overnight hours. Pedestrian traffic will be rerouted in accordance with the approved maintenance of 00:22:21.822 --> 00:22:28.424 - traffic plan. The sidewalk closure will be on the west sidewalk of North Madison Street and the north 00:22:28.424 --> 00:22:30.366 - sidewalk of West 11th Street. 00:22:30.498 --> 00:22:38.105 - will be detoured to the adjacent sidewalks at temporary crossings at 14th and Madison and also 11th 00:22:38.105 --> 00:22:46.016 - and Fairview. McIntyre Brothers shall install and maintain all required signage, barricades and traffic 00:22:46.016 --> 00:22:53.775 - control devices, maintain access to adjacent properties and limit the closure to the minimum area and 00:22:53.775 --> 00:22:56.894 - duration necessary to complete the work. 00:22:58.146 --> 00:23:05.231 - Engineering staff recommends that the Board of Public Works approve the request of right-of-way closures 00:23:05.231 --> 00:23:12.518 - subject to compliance with the approved maintenance of traffic plan and all applicable permit requirements. 00:23:12.518 --> 00:23:18.726 - Thank you. Questions from the board? Is there any public comment on this item? Seeing none, 00:23:18.726 --> 00:23:25.540 - is there a motion? I move that we approve the right-of-way closure request from McIntyre Brothers at 00:23:25.540 --> 00:23:27.902 - 700 Block of North Madison Street. 00:23:30.594 --> 00:23:39.382 - I'll call the roll. Roach? Aye. Cox-Dekker? Aye. Caron? Aye. Motion passes. Next is a right-of-way closure 00:23:39.382 --> 00:23:48.088 - request from Smithville Communications on South High Street. Good evening. Kyle Ball from the Engineering 00:23:48.088 --> 00:23:56.958 - Department. This request is for planned utility relocation ahead of the High Street multi-use path project. 00:23:57.090 --> 00:24:06.832 - This request is a one-week duration lane and sidewalk closure stemming from the hillside Moores Pike 00:24:06.832 --> 00:24:16.670 - intersection of High Street south to Arden Drive. The lane closure would be on the Moores Pike end of 00:24:16.670 --> 00:24:23.422 - that intersection, and that would be a single day, two-day event max. 00:24:23.778 --> 00:24:31.401 - with a stationary lane closure and then the sidewalk or multi-use path segment there. We are planning 00:24:31.401 --> 00:24:38.875 - for that week duration, but there is a condition within their permit as written that allows for the 00:24:38.875 --> 00:24:46.424 - work to stop for any pedestrians that would need to use that path while the work is out there, given 00:24:46.424 --> 00:24:52.478 - that there's no sidewalk on the west side of the street there. They've also been 00:24:52.706 --> 00:25:02.689 - limited to closures post arrival in the morning for Childs Elementary and removing those closures ahead 00:25:02.689 --> 00:25:11.807 - of dismissal in an effort to reduce the conflict with the student pedestrian population there. 00:25:11.807 --> 00:25:21.598 - Thank you. Questions from the board? Any public comment on this item? Seeing none, is there a motion? 00:25:22.114 --> 00:25:30.212 - I move that we approve the right of way closure request from Smithville Communications on South High 00:25:30.212 --> 00:25:38.310 - Street. Second sketch. I will call the role Roach. Hi Cox Decker. Hi Corona. I motion passes. Sorry, 00:25:38.310 --> 00:25:46.568 - I'm trying to coordinate a kid pick up with mom. Next up is a right of way closure request from Weddle 00:25:46.568 --> 00:25:49.374 - Brothers at the Convention Center. 00:25:50.242 --> 00:25:57.050 - Kyle Paul engineering again. So this request from what our brothers is a closure of the current pest 00:25:57.050 --> 00:26:03.994 - pedestrian diversion on the south side of West Third Street between college and Walnut adjacent to the 00:26:03.994 --> 00:26:11.341 - Bloomington Convention Center site. The request is being made to accommodate lifting materials and equipment 00:26:11.341 --> 00:26:13.566 - movement to move said materials. 00:26:13.858 --> 00:26:22.971 - The requested dates of closure are between November 5th of this year and December 31st of 2026 And we 00:26:22.971 --> 00:26:31.995 - have some representatives from what old brothers in the room if there are any specific questions you 00:26:31.995 --> 00:26:41.287 - might have Thank you questions from the board For this closure this is An extension a closure extension 00:26:41.287 --> 00:26:42.270 - or a newly 00:26:42.626 --> 00:26:48.765 - This would be a new closure, but there were closures existing in the last few months. It's open right 00:26:48.765 --> 00:26:54.844 - now. We talked about this in the work session. It's currently open. It's a reclosure. Correct. Okay. 00:26:54.844 --> 00:27:00.923 - If I could just ask Andrew or Little Brothers, if you guys could just explain what necessitated this 00:27:00.923 --> 00:27:07.182 - additional requests here, I think that would just help everybody just understand what we've got coming. 00:27:07.182 --> 00:27:10.974 - Absolutely. Andrew Sherry, Product Manager of Little Brothers. 00:27:11.106 --> 00:27:16.937 - What we're asking to do here, we're getting ready to set the north limestone feature wall. It's basically 00:27:16.937 --> 00:27:22.493 - a core stone wall, dimensional stone, very large pieces. And we have met with all of our contractors 00:27:22.493 --> 00:27:28.379 - trying to identify how we could set these pieces on that north wall. The safest manner that we can utilize 00:27:28.379 --> 00:27:33.880 - is a wall. And in order to get that access with the building canopy that we've built, we have to be 00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:39.326 - out in the diversion path to kind of swing around and put the boom out to hold these large pieces. 00:27:39.458 --> 00:27:44.893 - 11 and a half inches thick, 12 foot tall, four foot wide, three foot wide. So there's not really a good 00:27:44.893 --> 00:27:50.432 - one. So pretty heavy. Massive pieces. Massive pieces. So again, this would allow us to pull our equipment 00:27:50.432 --> 00:27:56.075 - up there, protect our new sidewalks, kind of take that diversion path and go straight out to the barricades 00:27:56.075 --> 00:27:58.270 - that we currently have and set that wall. 00:27:58.626 --> 00:28:04.354 - Is it fair to say that you're having to use a larger piece of equipment than you originally intended, 00:28:04.354 --> 00:28:10.082 - maybe, or? Yeah, yeah. So we've looked and explored all of our options, cranes, laws, what size laws. 00:28:10.082 --> 00:28:15.754 - Again, from a crane standpoint, we really, with the building canopy, we don't have the access. So it 00:28:15.754 --> 00:28:21.539 - was determined to use this large piece of equipment. Do you expect that the closure will actually last 00:28:21.539 --> 00:28:27.154 - starting this week all the way through the end of the calendar year? Our hopes are that we would be 00:28:27.154 --> 00:28:28.446 - done sooner than that. 00:28:29.698 --> 00:28:36.547 - probably mid-December. Just with this type of work it's such a specialty to see how these all piece 00:28:36.547 --> 00:28:43.464 - together. That's our best guess right now. And so this closure is only the sidewalk area not a lane? 00:28:43.464 --> 00:28:50.381 - Yes, yeah it's just the sidewalk the diversion as shown in the diagram we would just put signage out 00:28:50.381 --> 00:28:55.038 - at both ends they would go to the north side of 3rd Street and then 00:28:55.970 --> 00:29:03.492 - All the crosswalks would remain open. We would still utilize that southern lane where the diversion 00:29:03.492 --> 00:29:11.089 - currently is. It's occupying the diversion. Yes. It's just not restricting the other lane. Yes. That 00:29:11.089 --> 00:29:18.612 - makes sense. One other thing that came up during our work session is unrelated to this request, but 00:29:18.612 --> 00:29:21.470 - related to the project is the signage 00:29:21.986 --> 00:29:28.340 - that is on the it's a long third street that looks like there's a lane restriction as you're heading 00:29:28.340 --> 00:29:35.135 - west on third street there there isn't a lane restriction right so it's not and we've worked we've actually 00:29:35.135 --> 00:29:41.426 - been coordinating with Kyle we have a contractor coming down to remove that signage and then reduce 00:29:41.426 --> 00:29:46.270 - some of our barricades heading south on college to restrict that middle lane 00:29:46.466 --> 00:29:51.596 - I think that they're scheduled for this week. So OK, that's our goal. Sooner the better. I'm getting 00:29:51.596 --> 00:29:56.929 - that I think it yes and if there's anything even in the interim if we can cover any of those or anything 00:29:56.929 --> 00:30:02.211 - just to try to avoid any confusion. As a board president or vice president cut Cox Decker said earlier, 00:30:02.211 --> 00:30:07.493 - we've got that Midwestern way of trying to just follow the rules and then you're not. Yeah, absolutely. 00:30:07.493 --> 00:30:12.623 - I've been convincing myself I did not have to get over every time. We'll make sure that we bag it or 00:30:12.623 --> 00:30:15.518 - lay it down or something or move it until they get here. 00:30:15.714 --> 00:30:22.452 - Thank you. Any other board questions? You anticipate this is the last restriction. I mean, you'll still 00:30:22.452 --> 00:30:29.060 - have the diversion, I assume, but this would be the last full sidewalk restriction on that side. That 00:30:29.060 --> 00:30:35.603 - is our goal. We have a west side feature wall that we're still evaluating. We have more room on that 00:30:35.603 --> 00:30:42.276 - side of the project that we think that we can make it work. But again, after the beginning of January, 00:30:42.276 --> 00:30:44.414 - we plan on taking all this down. 00:30:45.314 --> 00:30:53.386 - There's not a general update on the convention center. Just for the board's application, if you could. 00:30:53.386 --> 00:31:01.300 - So you guys are going to wrap up your construction of the new expanded convention center on the east 00:31:01.300 --> 00:31:08.510 - side of college. And then you'll move into a renovation of the old convention center space. 00:31:08.610 --> 00:31:13.921 - have we worked out any right of way request that might or may work that still to be determined. We don't 00:31:13.921 --> 00:31:19.079 - expect any. We have some majority of its interior innovations. We are going to replace the windows on 00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:24.339 - the existing convention center. We think that we can access that from the exterior side of the building 00:31:24.339 --> 00:31:29.549 - without impeding on any traffic or anything. We're still trying to solidify those plans right now, but 00:31:29.549 --> 00:31:34.910 - there may suggest for the board to know there may. It's there's potential if things arise with the other. 00:31:35.074 --> 00:31:42.603 - with the older Convention Center that they may come back for other things there, but that would be a 00:31:42.603 --> 00:31:50.131 - future phasing request. Thank you. Is there any public comment on this item? Seeing none, is there a 00:31:50.131 --> 00:31:57.809 - motion? I move that we approve the right of way closure request from Weddle Brothers at the Convention 00:31:57.809 --> 00:32:02.878 - Center. Second. I will call the roll. Roach? Aye. Cox-Deckard? Aye. 00:32:02.978 --> 00:32:09.900 - Caron, aye, motion passes. Last on new business is the right of way closure request from Weddle Brothers 00:32:09.900 --> 00:32:16.559 - for Second Street and College Avenue at Seminary Point. Can I have a ball of engineering once again? 00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:23.679 - So this closure request, I want to start off because we identified it in the work session. This is probably 00:32:23.679 --> 00:32:28.030 - my eighth staff report I drew up or reviewed before this session. 00:32:28.674 --> 00:32:36.982 - The actual closure section identified in the diagram below is further west. So it's not included in 00:32:36.982 --> 00:32:45.372 - front of the insurance agency there. But jump me back into the meat here. So this closure request is 00:32:45.372 --> 00:32:53.680 - for a sidewalk closure with a diversion on the west side of South College Avenue with the bike lane 00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:57.086 - also being merged into the traffic lane. 00:32:57.346 --> 00:33:05.729 - So there's enough space to utilize or implement a pedestrian diversion and then actual sidewalk closure 00:33:05.729 --> 00:33:13.789 - on the north side of West Second Street in between College and Morton where the diversion or detour 00:33:13.789 --> 00:33:22.091 - route rather would utilize that mid-block crossing and the crossing at the intersection of College and 00:33:22.091 --> 00:33:26.846 - Second. This request is for November 16th to January 15th. 00:33:27.394 --> 00:33:37.423 - of 2027. Thank you. Questions from the board? I'm still confused. Yeah, please. You go first and then 00:33:37.423 --> 00:33:47.256 - he'll clarify my confusion. You said further west, but I'm looking at it and I'm confused about how 00:33:47.256 --> 00:33:56.990 - so is the section that's along Second Street actually closer to the midsection crossing or the mid 00:33:58.274 --> 00:34:04.969 - section crossing, not in front of the parking area. Yeah, so the building that's closer to Morton there, 00:34:04.969 --> 00:34:11.408 - that segment of sidewalk just outside of it. I guess for the Weddell crew, the big question is, what 00:34:11.408 --> 00:34:17.848 - impacts will be on the insurance agency on the corner of College and Second? And then whatever is in 00:34:17.848 --> 00:34:24.798 - this building? And then the building to the north is now unoccupied. The building to the west is unoccupied. 00:34:24.994 --> 00:34:30.383 - I think the only occupied business is the insurance agency still right yes and we met with her yesterday 00:34:30.383 --> 00:34:35.875 - sat down and talked with her let her know that there will be no disruption to her services or her building 00:34:35.875 --> 00:34:41.265 - but yeah you're right the closer itself will actually be down here in front of what we call the friendly 00:34:41.265 --> 00:34:46.654 - beast this building closer to the beeline so where the trees are yeah that's where that makes sense yeah 00:34:53.538 --> 00:35:01.777 - Any other questions from the board? Seeing none, is there public comment on this item? Nobody on Zoom. 00:35:01.777 --> 00:35:10.336 - All right. Is there a motion? I move that we approve the right-of-way closure request from Willow Brothers 00:35:10.336 --> 00:35:19.134 - for Second Street and College Avenue at Seminary Point. Second. I will call the roll. Roach? Aye. Cox-Decker? 00:35:19.134 --> 00:35:21.694 - Aye. Grown? Aye. Motion passes. 00:35:23.266 --> 00:35:31.156 - Nexus staff reports and first we have a staff report from Kyle bar on icon development varsity villas 00:35:31.156 --> 00:35:39.124 - preliminary construction phasing proposal Kyle ball last and final here So this project is being taken 00:35:39.124 --> 00:35:44.926 - on by Wells and Wells. We had a preliminary meeting a couple weeks ago and 00:35:45.122 --> 00:35:53.535 - good conversation just trying to describe what exactly the crews will need on site, how those will function, 00:35:53.535 --> 00:36:01.562 - local impacts, that sort of conversation ahead of finalizing plans before other boards and commissions. 00:36:01.562 --> 00:36:09.434 - So for the project itself, excuse me, it's proposed to be done in two phases. So demolition phase one 00:36:09.434 --> 00:36:12.830 - and phase two. So the demolition phase one, 00:36:12.962 --> 00:36:20.058 - would occur from May 2028 through August of 2030. In this first phase, first and foremost, construction 00:36:20.058 --> 00:36:27.086 - fencing would go up surrounding the project site and the construction of a new sidewalk segment on the 00:36:27.086 --> 00:36:33.977 - north side of Varsity Lane, connecting the existing sidewalk path there to Dunn Street, the sidewalk 00:36:33.977 --> 00:36:36.638 - on the west side of Dunn Street there. 00:36:37.090 --> 00:36:44.918 - that would be utilized for a closure of the south sidewalk on Varsity Lane that would be implemented 00:36:44.918 --> 00:36:52.747 - for the duration of the project. Then on the Dunn Street side of things, a overhead protection being 00:36:52.747 --> 00:37:00.730 - added to the sidewalk segment there adjacent to the project location. This would be to have a sidewalk 00:37:00.730 --> 00:37:02.590 - closure on Dunn Street, 00:37:02.914 --> 00:37:11.387 - just for the time period of erecting that overhead protection, both adding it and removing it at the 00:37:11.387 --> 00:37:19.944 - end of the project. This also includes a lane closure on the southern eastbound lane of varsity. This 00:37:19.944 --> 00:37:28.501 - would be a stationary lane closure. I think I talked through it a little bit in the work session, but 00:37:28.501 --> 00:37:30.430 - basically allowing the 00:37:30.594 --> 00:37:38.657 - the material movement, equipment movement in and out of the site, and then identifying that in the first 00:37:38.657 --> 00:37:46.413 - phase or the end of the first phase, that building shown roughly at the northwest corner there would 00:37:46.413 --> 00:37:54.168 - be occupied. So the use of the fire lane that we might see at the beginning of the project, which is 00:37:54.168 --> 00:37:59.390 - that entryway on the south side of the street, on the western side, 00:38:00.386 --> 00:38:08.512 - would be eliminated from use essentially because of fire codes. We do have Jesse Graber from Wilson 00:38:08.512 --> 00:38:16.800 - Wells here to answer any questions that we might have. I know we had some good spirited conversation. 00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:17.694 - Thank you. 00:38:18.370 --> 00:38:24.124 - So I'll just start with the first comment, I guess, really quickly, if I may. So just a small project 00:38:24.124 --> 00:38:29.877 - on your plate, Jesse. Nothing real big here. Just, yeah. If you would, Jesse, why don't you come take 00:38:29.877 --> 00:38:35.744 - a test to the table? Because this will get some discussion. We had a good discussion at the board, work 00:38:35.744 --> 00:38:41.610 - session on this just generally. But I know the board's got quite a few different questions. Just trying 00:38:41.610 --> 00:38:45.502 - to understand size, scope, timing. So just, yeah, back to the board. 00:38:46.690 --> 00:38:54.527 - jesse graver wells and wells construction representing park seven development for the icon bloomington 00:38:54.527 --> 00:39:02.441 - project i believe it has been submitted to the city known as 210 east varsity lane but 210 east varsity 00:39:02.441 --> 00:39:07.006 - lane project is the icon bloomington project for park seven 00:39:16.226 --> 00:39:27.043 - some of the questions we had obviously this is a large project it's going to take a lot of time to complete 00:39:27.043 --> 00:39:37.259 - and one of course major concern of the board and probably imagine city staff have discussed it is any 00:39:37.259 --> 00:39:41.566 - impacts to Dunn Street which is a critical 00:39:41.666 --> 00:39:51.341 - roadway, particularly during the school year, but even in the summer. So thinking about in your preparation 00:39:51.341 --> 00:40:01.196 - for the plan, the mitigation of any, you know, use of Dunn Street. Do you have any early thoughts, especially 00:40:01.196 --> 00:40:10.334 - related? We talked about utility relocation, particularly being the likely culprit to affecting Dunn. 00:40:12.162 --> 00:40:18.529 - None that we are currently aware of. We're currently working, obviously, with CBU on the full utility 00:40:18.529 --> 00:40:24.959 - rework, but currently all of the utility reconstruction will take place within East varsity lane. Duke 00:40:24.959 --> 00:40:31.326 - will need to bore across Dunn Street to bring the primary power, but that is planned to be a bore and 00:40:31.326 --> 00:40:32.574 - not an open trench. 00:40:33.410 --> 00:40:42.332 - One of the reasons why we are requesting a separation between east and westbound traffic on East varsity 00:40:42.332 --> 00:40:46.750 - is specifically to help alleviate any concerns with 00:40:47.842 --> 00:40:55.443 - backup of traffic onto Dunn Street because we do 100% recognize the importance of Dunn Street both in 00:40:55.443 --> 00:41:03.119 - a pedestrian traffic but also vehicular traffic for the school. So our intention would be with board's 00:41:03.119 --> 00:41:10.645 - approval is because it is such a long project slated over two years of construction between demo and 00:41:10.645 --> 00:41:11.614 - occupancy is 00:41:11.810 --> 00:41:19.814 - to just create that one way entrance into the property and I might say Park seven does own both sides 00:41:19.814 --> 00:41:27.818 - of of East varsity lane they bought all of that property you know obviously there's tenants but yeah. 00:41:27.818 --> 00:41:35.038 - Is that considered varsity gate apartments that are on the north side of our ceiling there. 00:41:36.322 --> 00:41:42.545 - Or is that a separate property as well? I think that's the one off Dunn. That's off of Dunn. So as you 00:41:42.545 --> 00:41:48.587 - come off of Dunn Street into Varsity Lane to the west, on the north side there you've got one, two, 00:41:48.587 --> 00:41:54.690 - three, four. There's four entrances. There's four entrances. So those will all be maintained. That's 00:41:54.690 --> 00:42:00.732 - not part of this project at all. It is not. So those will all still be maintained for the vehicular 00:42:00.732 --> 00:42:04.478 - access for all of those tenants. Just a right turn only going 00:42:04.610 --> 00:42:12.227 - to exit their parking lot. So what we're trying to do- So right in, right out only. Yeah, right in, 00:42:12.227 --> 00:42:16.798 - right out, but then it separates construction traffic from- 00:42:16.930 --> 00:42:23.492 - public traffic this is another project with a precast parking garage podium decks there's there's going 00:42:23.492 --> 00:42:29.802 - to be a lot of heavy traffic for the construction. So what and construction traffic cannot continue 00:42:29.802 --> 00:42:36.112 - around East varsity onto Lincoln it won't make the turn the roads won't support the traffic so what 00:42:36.112 --> 00:42:37.374 - we want to propose. 00:42:37.506 --> 00:42:44.651 - is that by allowing the separation of East varsity and only allowing a one way in one way out for the 00:42:44.651 --> 00:42:51.726 - public on the north it allows construction traffic that then exit safely back out to Dunn Street and 00:42:51.726 --> 00:42:58.800 - use the appropriate truck routes to get back off of the project without mixing pedestrians or public 00:42:58.800 --> 00:43:01.182 - traffic and construction traffic. 00:43:01.826 --> 00:43:09.356 - So at times, you may change the flow of the southern lane from maybe inbound to outbound to your construction 00:43:09.356 --> 00:43:16.338 - site. So the idea is to have that fire lane around the property in at the point so we can turn in, go 00:43:16.338 --> 00:43:23.320 - around the property, and come straight back out since construction traffic can't exit going westbound 00:43:23.320 --> 00:43:30.302 - through East Varsity. Yeah. OK. It is a complicated site because of how dense it is and the street is 00:43:30.466 --> 00:43:40.224 - pretty tight. The project is slated for a full street reconstruction. So similar to what we experienced 00:43:40.224 --> 00:43:49.701 - with 19th Lincoln and Washington, but thankfully on one street instead of an entire two city blocks. 00:43:49.701 --> 00:43:56.926 - But that would also help limit the overall impact to the public because then 00:43:57.026 --> 00:44:07.420 - The streets that are getting the reconstruction would also then be within our construction fencing and 00:44:07.420 --> 00:44:17.712 - we would maintain constant traffic flow, you know, right off a done and then straight through to 19th 00:44:17.712 --> 00:44:25.886 - and Lincoln on East varsity. Again, the whole purpose of presenting this in 2020 00:44:26.370 --> 00:44:34.592 - Six for a 2028 project start is one, we want to be proactive, but two, we want to submit a maintenance 00:44:34.592 --> 00:44:42.655 - of traffic plan as a part of our submittal at the end of the month. We've been working with Kyle and 00:44:42.655 --> 00:44:50.398 - Maria for a few weeks, months on this, and just we want to approach the project comprehensively. 00:44:51.010 --> 00:44:57.181 - early on as far as you know it's it's more than just we're going to go build apartments here we recognize 00:44:57.181 --> 00:45:03.178 - where we're at and we need to we need to be cognizant of working together with the public and the city 00:45:03.178 --> 00:45:06.846 - on on the how to do it we appreciate that yeah you know I said 00:45:06.946 --> 00:45:14.041 - Just a couple things to note, we were just awarded a grant from NDOT to repay Dunn Street from 17th 00:45:14.041 --> 00:45:21.349 - to the bypass next construction season. And that all was in process before we knew you all were moving 00:45:21.349 --> 00:45:28.656 - forward with your projects. So that's something we'll have to just think about. It's probably too late 00:45:28.656 --> 00:45:32.062 - for us to shift our, so we'll work within that. 00:45:32.162 --> 00:45:38.108 - Obviously just really noting the athletic schedules and knowing you know where what's been going on 00:45:38.108 --> 00:45:44.173 - around the same with football season. You'll be from the looks of it you'll have two football seasons 00:45:44.173 --> 00:45:50.238 - and two basketball seasons you'll be working through here at minimum so really thinking through that. 00:45:50.626 --> 00:45:57.162 - and the amount of volume that it gets up there during those times. Our construction schedule will actually 00:45:57.162 --> 00:46:03.453 - require a complete shutdown of the job site during home football games. I think home basketball games, 00:46:03.453 --> 00:46:09.989 - there's no tailgating. We can fight it through those. And we have been doing the same at our Hub 2 project 00:46:09.989 --> 00:46:16.219 - as well. Another thing to think about is when we think about closure, if you needed a lane closure or 00:46:16.219 --> 00:46:18.846 - something with utility relocations undone, 00:46:19.042 --> 00:46:25.256 - you know, really focusing on the heart of the summer, not the beginning or the end of the summer season, 00:46:25.256 --> 00:46:31.233 - but that like, you know, June 1st to like July 15th is that real sweet spot or, you know, even maybe 00:46:31.233 --> 00:46:37.269 - May 15th through July 15th. But the amount of turnover we're seeing in the late July month, you know, 00:46:37.269 --> 00:46:43.187 - like it's just a little different than it's not August 15th anymore. It's more throughout the month 00:46:43.187 --> 00:46:48.158 - of July, later July and in through August that we're starting to see a lot of that. 00:46:48.386 --> 00:46:55.735 - Unless utilities asks for any downstream improvements, there's nothing currently planned for down the 00:46:55.735 --> 00:47:02.940 - street. Down the street. Like sewer, water, storm. It's brand new water, brand new sewer, and brand 00:47:02.940 --> 00:47:10.434 - new storm there. We're not anticipating any downstream improvements, but right now there are no current 00:47:10.434 --> 00:47:16.414 - plans for any construction on down the street. Great. Sorry, I just had a thought. 00:47:16.834 --> 00:47:25.459 - would it be possible if there are any. Any relocations that are required outside of this defined footprint. 00:47:25.459 --> 00:47:33.525 - To get those ahead of the construction. Either that or we would complete on one side and then divert 00:47:33.525 --> 00:47:41.830 - traffic around and then complete on the other side, but we would maintain traffic to those four parking 00:47:41.830 --> 00:47:46.302 - lot entrances at all times. Yes. And really are. Having 00:47:46.434 --> 00:47:54.775 - living here but also working here for as long as we have now totally recognize the amount of foot traffic 00:47:54.775 --> 00:48:02.723 - in this area it's it's a little daunting as the project director for this project that's kind of why 00:48:02.723 --> 00:48:10.749 - we want to do the overhead sidewalk protection on Dunn Street and it is why we would strongly request 00:48:10.749 --> 00:48:12.638 - that we not try to keep 00:48:12.802 --> 00:48:21.332 - any sidewalks open on that project side on East varsity will do whatever we need to do to safely get 00:48:21.332 --> 00:48:30.285 - them on the north side and away from that train traffic and construction traffic. And they always listen. 00:48:30.285 --> 00:48:34.846 - They never start forklifts when there's keys in them. 00:48:38.786 --> 00:48:47.380 - is an interesting. Questions after me. No it's great it's gonna take a lot of coordination we. Appreciate 00:48:47.380 --> 00:48:55.569 - all the partnership and conversation and getting it done right so. Yeah. You betcha. As always we're 00:48:55.569 --> 00:49:03.921 - open to answering any questions I realize we're not here for any approval is more for information sake 00:49:03.921 --> 00:49:07.326 - so but this is similar to what we will be 00:49:07.458 --> 00:49:14.211 - requesting on our plan submittal at the end of the month from BKB and Smith Design. So Smith Design 00:49:14.211 --> 00:49:21.100 - will be doing our maintenance of traffic plan for the job. Do we have an anticipated application date 00:49:21.100 --> 00:49:27.920 - for right-of-way permit purposes? Sorry, thinking selfishly for a minute here. Yeah, I mean how long 00:49:27.920 --> 00:49:29.406 - are permits good for? 00:49:30.114 --> 00:49:37.546 - I mean, they can submit it whenever, honestly. OK. I mean, it's a 2028. We cannot start demo until May 00:49:37.546 --> 00:49:44.761 - 10th of 2028 due to leases on site. So we've got an entire student cycle yet before we would start. 00:49:44.761 --> 00:49:52.481 - But we also understand that it will probably take eight to nine months of planning between the departments 00:49:52.481 --> 00:49:58.398 - for full approval. And we want to have our permits in hand in 2027, both building 00:49:58.594 --> 00:50:06.870 - civil and right of way so that we can have, you know, basically a May 10th, 2028 start. Yeah, we're 00:50:06.870 --> 00:50:15.642 - comfortable and all that. Yeah, it'll be nice to have that buttoned up. Yep. Okay. As always, a pleasure. 00:50:15.642 --> 00:50:24.414 - Thank you very much. Thank you. Have a great night. All right. Are we still doing the other staff report? 00:50:24.546 --> 00:50:34.007 - Okay, so moving on to approval of claims. Does the board have any questions on claims tonight? Is there 00:50:34.007 --> 00:50:43.104 - any public comment on claims? Seeing none, is there a motion? I move that we approve the claims for 00:50:43.104 --> 00:50:52.474 - this evening in the amount of $1,311,956.55. Second. With a motion and a second, I will call the roll. 00:50:52.474 --> 00:50:53.566 - Roach? Aye. 00:50:54.114 --> 00:51:01.374 - Paxdecker? Aye. Caron? Aye. Motion passes. And with nothing else on the agenda, I will call for adjournment.
