2009-2010 fall / winter Scheduled Construction and Maintenance Projects
Distribution Services has identified the following list of planned construction and maintenance projects for the November through March time period.
Actual construction dates and project durations may vary from what is described in this list to accommodate other scheduled work in the area, available resources, material delivery schedules, weather conditions, etc. Repair project durations cannot be defined until subsurface investigative work has been completed.
moisture detection system remote test station installation
South side of Fillmore Street, west of Robert Street
Test station installation is complete. Backfill is scheduled for November 19 -20. Sidewalk restoration is expected to be complete by November 30, 2009. This project will install a remote test station for the hot water piping extending along Fillmore St. and Robert St. The work will be completed in the south pedestrian sidewalk and the southernmost lane on Fillmore will be used for construction access. This is a four lane road, so traffic will continue in both directions.
Light Rail Transit System Utility Relocation Requirement -
Chilled Water Valve and Pipe Installation
North side of 7th Street, west of Cedar Street
Piping installation is complete. Backfill and restoration remain. Completion is expected by November 30, 2009.
This project will result in the installation of mainline valves in the chilled water piping crossing 7th Street. Work is being installed now to reduce customer service impact when the Central Corridor Light Rail Transit system is constructed on Cedar Street. The northernmost, west bound lane of Cedar Street will be closed during the construction period as well as the pedestrian sidewalk on the north side of Cedar Street.
Light Rail Transit System Utility Relocation Requirement - Chilled Water Pipe Relocation
West side of Cedar Street, south of 10th Street
Pipe relocation work is complete. Excavation and restoration remain. Completion is expected by the first week of December, 2009. This project relocates piping away from an area that will be occupied by Light Rail Transit structures and facilities. Work is being completed at this time to reduce future customer service impact during Light Rail Transit construction. The westernmost, south bound lane and parking lane on Cedar St. will be closed through the construction period.
Light Rail Transit System Utility Relocation Requirement - Chilled Water Valve and Pipe Installation
Robert Street, south and north of 10th Street
Pipe and valves have been installed. Remaining work includes backfill and surface restoration work. Completion is expected by the first week of December, 2009. Mainline isolation valves were installed to allow future chilled water pipe relocation work on Robert Street north of Interstate 94 to occur without impacting service to Robert Street customers south of the freeway. Construction activities will not impact traffic on 10th Street. Robert Street traffic is reduced to one lane in each direction. Pedestrians have access to all crosswalks and sidewalks in the area.
Light Rail Transit System Utility Relocation Requirement - Chilled Water Piping Relocation Project
Sibley Street crossing 4th Street and extending west on 4th Street
This project will be completed by the contractors working for the Metropolitan Council as part of the Advance Utility Relocation Contract for the Central Corridor Light Rail Transit Project. Excavation work has been started on 4th Street and it is expected this work will extend into Sibley Street by early December. Work should be complete with temporary street restoration complete by the end of the year. 4th Street is currently closed for utility relocation work and Sibley Street will have lane closures as necessary to complete the pipe relocation work. Northbound traffic on this one way street will be maintained throughout the construction period.
Light Rail Transit System Utility Relocation Requirement - Chilled Water Piping Relocation Project
Wall Street crossing 4th Street
This project will be completed by the contractors working for the Metropolitan Council as part of the Advance Utility Relocation Contract for the Central Corridor Light Rail Transit Project. Excavation is currently scheduled to begin mid to late December and should be completed by the end of January. As of this date traffic plans have not been developed. However, it is expected there will be little if any impact to south bound traffic on Wall St. Periodic street closure will be required for excavation work but the work site will be steel plated to allow traffic through the intersection.
Light Rail Transit System Utility Relocation Requirement - Chilled Water Piping Relocation Project
Jackson Street from 200' south of 5th Street to 4th Street
This project will be completed by the contractors working for the Metropolitan Council as part of the Advance Utility Relocation Contract for the Central Corridor Light Rail Transit Project. Excavation work for other utilities is underway on 4th Street and upon completion of the Xcel Energy work in this area, the supply and return chilled water pipe on Jackson Street will be relocated. It is expected that this work will begin in mid January of 2010 and continue for approximately 60 days. 4th Street is currently closed for utility relocation work. Jackson Street will have lane restrictions but will remain open during the construction period.
Chilled Water Piping Extension
Sibley Street, from 10th to 9th Street, 9th Street from Sibley to Wacouta Streets and Wacouta Street from 9th to south of 7th Street
This project will result in an extension of the piping from District Cooling's chilled water production plant at 10th and Sibley Streets to existing mainline piping on Wacouta Street, south of 7th Street. Work on this 4 block extension of mainline piping will begin in early March of 2010 and continue through April and May. Restoration work should be complete for the entire project by the end of June. Drawings have not been prepared for this project at this time, but it is expected that much of the installation will occur within sidewalks along this route. It is not anticipated that any streets will be closed for this work although construction traffic will limit lanes and travel speeds.
