The City is working on alternate plans to try to get the project completed ASAP. Announcements PUBLIC MEETINGS City Council NEWS MULTIPLE ISSUES HAVE DELAYED COMPLETION OF CITY PROJECTS MILLCREEK. Conditions occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic have presented many challenges this construction season. Material ---PAGE BREAK--- Mon., 9/27/21 Work Meeting 5:00 pm Regular meeting 7 pm City Hall, 3330 S 1300 E Agenda below Join virtually HERE shortages, higher costs, supply chain problems, and labor shortages this year have caused unanticipated delays in a number of City projects. Now that autumn has arrived, colder weather will restrict the ability to lay asphalt and to install more than temporary patches on emergency repairs. The Mountair Streetscape and the reconstruction of 3900 South are two visible and problematic examples of this construction season's challenges. Here's an update on the progress of those two projects. The Mountair Streetscape project, as we reported a few weeks ago, has been delayed by Rocky Mountain Power's delay in burying electric power utility lines. That work has finally commenced. Once that work is done, and Comcast has also buried its lines, the contractor is set to return to finish the project. We are still hopeful that can be done before winter but time is running out on the season. The 3900 South project may not be completed this fall. The project contractor has invoked the “force majure” provision of its contract to justify the delays, citing to the pandemic-related problems it has experienced this season. We are working with the contractor to explore all opportunities to have this project completed as soon as possible. One potential option under discussion would involve a total road closure between 2700 East and 2300 East for around three weeks to permit completion this fall. This option is dependent upon the good weather holding through mid- November. We will notify the community as soon as possible if this option can be pursued. If the option becomes available, the remainder of 3900 South, i.e. west of 2300 East and East of 2700 East, would remain open. Detours around the closed section would be clearly marked. Note that regardless of whether this plan is implemented, there will be pavement along the entire length of the project area throughout the winter. Again, any road closure will be weather-dependent and will not be done if it appears we can’t insure the quality of the asphalt paving as a result of cold temperatures or precipitation. ---PAGE BREAK--- Potholes and damaged roadways. Crews are also out in our neighborhoods filling potholes and repairing the asphalt along damaged areas in our roadways before cold weather sets in. Asphalt repairs have been hampered by the shortage of asphalt. As the weather cools and “hot mix” asphalt is no longer available, these repairs will have to be made with a “cold mix” that does not last as long and often requires a new repair in the next warm season. For obvious reasons, we like to avoid those types of fixes. ---PAGE BREAK--- Spooky Season is Coming! MILLCREEK.
