1 Construction - One Week Look Ahead Public Works Capital Projects April 2, 2018 April 8, 2018 The following is a summary of Sarasota County construction, repair and maintenance projects that are expected to have an impact on local traffic or public areas during the one-week period beginning Monday, April 2, 2018 and continuing through Sunday, April 8, This summary includes all road or lane closures approved by the county engineer. Sarasota County Projects: Dory Lane Resurfacing: Gator Grading and Paving will be resurfacing a section of Dory Lane, south of Blackburn Point and west of US-41 next week. Work is expected to take 2 to 4 days. Art Powell, Project Manager, Ed Smith Stadium: Beginning October 9 and lasting for approximately 16 weeks, Prem. US began removing and replacing exterior floor coverings in the public walkway areas of the stadium. The work is being done in two phases, with the potential to complete all work in the first phase which concludes before Spring Training season. If necessary, the second phase will begin immediately after the Spring Training and last approximately 4-6 weeks. The new floor coating must be installed in relatively cool temperatures, so this work will be done at night. Flooring removal will be done in daytime hours, so this project with be around the clock, normally on weekdays only. Some limited stadium lighting will likely be used through the night time hours, but night operations will not generate any significant noise. Brad Gaubatz, Project Manager, Fruitville Initiative Stormwater Improvements: Gator Grading and Paving was tasked with the construction for this project. There 2 work sites as part of this project. Celery Fields: There were three (3) 60-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) installed in the Celery Fields north of the observation mound. Excavation and installation of the pipes began on January 2, 2018 and was completed on January 18, Each pipe had a Tideflex Valve installed to prevent back flow to the by-pass canal. Work was competed on the valves at the beginning of March along with the trash grates. Some additional work is planned in the coming week to assure proper operation of the valves. East Road: A second site on East Rd. replaced two old metal culverts with (2) 42-inch concrete pipes under East Road between Fruitville Road and Rim Road. The installation of the pipes has been completed. The road is open at this time. Guard rail options are being discussed along with a possible barrier wall to help with the safety factor of the traveling public. Art Powell, Project Manager, Page 1 of 8

2 Landings & Riverview Lift Stations: This construction project contains five lift stations in need of rehabilitation and/or pipe work; Landings I, Landings III, Beneva/Webber, Golden Rod, and Riverview High School. Temporary traffic control measures will be in place where needed. Motorists are urged to use caution while traveling through these areas and be mindful of the work crews and equipment. Jason Brown, Project Manager, Mid-County Tax Collector Office: This project is located at 6100 Sawyer Loop Road in Sarasota (just south of Clark Road and on the west side of Sawyer Loop Road). The project is being managed by the County s Public Works (Capital Improvements) Department and will construct a new 10,770 square-foot office for the Sarasota County Tax Collector. When completed and operational, the project will feature a total of 24 customer service positions offering the full range of motorist services, tax services and other services provided by the Sarasota County Tax Collector. The nearly 6-acre site will also include a new practical course for driver s license testing, an after-hours payment drop-box, and a drive-thru window for expedited service. Construction site access is being handled from an access drive along the north side of the site, and minimal impact to traffic along Sawyer Loop Road is expected. Site construction and construction of the building pad are underway. Construction is scheduled for completion in very early 2018, and the operational opening is scheduled for early Spring of Daniel Lee Cruz, Project Manager, Phillippi Creek Septic System Replacement Program Area N, Phase 3: The Phillippi Creek Septic System Replacement Program (PCSSRP) was developed in 2000 to protect public health and to improve water quality in Phillippi Creek, by replacing individual septic systems and small private package waste water plants in many Sarasota County neighborhoods with central sewer service. Over 15,000 septic tanks will be replaced over the life of the project. Approximately, 200 residents will be connecting to central sewer in Area N3. Area N3 is being designed as a hybrid gravity sewer system with two smaller lift stations within the project area. Homeowners will connect to the central sewer system using a conventional gravity lateral rather than maintaining individual low-pressure units on each property, as originally planned. Award of the construction contract was April 25, 2017 to Spectrum Underground. The construction Notice to Proceed was given on May 23, Construction has begun and completion of the project was originally scheduled for March The contractor has fallen behind schedule and new estimates place completion to be approximately September Installation of sewer mains will take place on Webber Street this week beginning at Tanglewood and moving towards Lockwood Ridge Road. One eastbound lane will be permanently closed until the sewer installation is complete. This work is expected to take another 2 weeks. Work on the lift station on North Seclusion Drive and the station at Bermuda Brook on Tanglewood will continue. The contractor has asked that we reiterate the need for safety for the residents and all of those traveling in the areas under construction. There have been several instances of pedestrians and bicyclists entering the work zone to see the work being done. Please do not enter an active zone of construction.
