The meeting went well and we covered a lot of good project details with the Finley Asphalt & Sealing representatives. The general consensus has been that we will be able to work well with them and that they are capable of performing a good job, while respecting the neighborhood’s needs. The contract approvals are on schedule and we anticipate issuing a Notice To Proceed early next week. So believe it, the time has come for work to begin, Merry Christmas! I would appreciate it if you would provide notification to those on your neighborhood e-mail distribution list(s). They will begin at the Middleton Ave. / OLR intersection area first with erosion control measures, utility markings and storm drainage pipe work. They will clean up and secure the site before the Christmas Holiday’s begin and resume work fully after the New Year begins.

"City staff has been working hard to verify that the bid documents provided by Finley Asphalt & Sealing , as general contractor, are complete as required. I realize that their name is misleading perhaps, but they are capable of providing all the site work services that this project requires and their previous employers have given them high marks. We feel that award of the contract can be made soon so we will be setting up a pre-construction meeting date next with the contractor."

The OLR Project is moving from taking the final steps of right of way acquisition to the bidding process. The project was advertised October 1 and the bids will be received on Oct 29th. Once contracts are reviewed, secured and awarded for construction the intent is to start by December 17th. The schedule and work phasing will be confirmed once the general contractor has been selected. We expect that this will be a 9 ½ to 12 month construction phase.
There has been a lot of positive movement towards completing the necessary property transactions. City Council has met on August 20th & September 4th about items related to the sale of property to the city and the city conveying a strip of existing right of way along Old Lynchburg Road to the Fry’s Spring Beach Club. Both parties are moving forward with finalizing the remaining details relating to the agreement. One more right of way request was deeded to the city yesterday. It is expected that 1 more right of way acquisition will be finalized this Friday. Out of the 9 total right of way requests required only one should be remaining after this week. The owner & mortgage company have agreed with the city’s request, however they are working the terms of their internal process. We hope to have the results of their meeting next week.
Here's a quick up-date as promised, for your FSNA meeting Wednesday. Aside from the right of way acquisition issues that you have been closely involved with, we have also gotten the revised right of way agreement forms from Va. Dominion Power for the overhead power lines that will be relocated over the FSBC property. This will be sent for their review & signature this week. The Sale of Property for the FSBC, right of way adjustment for the FSBC and to second reading for the Laurel Street closure, with a 5' wide pedestrian access easement are all coming up for reviews and approvals this month. Project movement looks good and we are excited about getting to bidding phase and then construction. Tony Edwards City Engineer, CFM
