Lincoln Sidewalk Project Set For 2022
By David [email protected]
At the Warsaw Board of Works and Public Safety meeting Monday, the Board approved the notice to proceed with the preliminary engineering portion of the federally funded project.
City senior planner Justin Taylor said, “This is for an 80/20 grant that we received in 2018, so this will be the sidewalk project that will be built hopefully in 2022 for the Lincoln neighborhood. That’s just to the west of Lincoln Elementary School, with the hope that it provides the students safer ways to access their school and get home as well.”
Total cost for the preliminary engineering portion with The Troyer Group is $173,600, with the INDOT match covering 80% ($138,880) of that. The contract with Troyer was previously accepted by the Board of Works.
Mayor Joe Thallemer said the Lincoln project is one of two projects that the city was awarded funding for, with Anchorage Road being the first.
Jeff Grose, Board of Works member and city council member that represents and lives in the Lincoln neighborhood, told Taylor, “Justin, on behalf of all the residents in that district, I just greatly appreciate your efforts. State of Indiana looking in our direction, Warsaw Schools staying on that lot, it’s just a great thing for our neighborhood.”
Thallemer said the project was a real proactive push by the city building and planning department with the new Lincoln School going in.
Grose said the project will keep students from walking down the middle of Clark and Fort Wayne streets.
“I greatly appreciate it,” he said.
A number of pay applications were approved by Board of Works Monday. They included:
• $5,057 to VS Engineering Inc. for construction engineering oversight on the Market Street project.
• $478,787.76 to HRP Construction Inc. for construction on the Airport Industrial Park sewer project on behalf of the Redevelopment Authority. This is the first payment for the construction portion of the sewer project.
Total cost of the project is about $6 million.
• $79,681.50 to Selge Construction for construction on the Buffalo Street redevelopment project.
• $3,240 to Wessler Engineering for the wastewater treatment plant expansion. Utilities Superintendent Brian Davison said it’s for the “bid phase services and then helping get some of the permits that were required for the project.”
• $44,089 to Wessler Engineering for construction engineering services of the wastewater treatment plant expansion. Davison said it was for “construction administration, reviewing submittals, approvals and then the RPR work, the oversight of the construction project.”
• $1,170 to NV Grant Services LLC for administration services of grants for the plant project.
• $16,674 to Layne Inliner for a couple of spot repairs on small-diameter sewer lines.
• $85,132 to Kokosing Industrial Inc. for a change order for the plant expansion.
Davison said there were four items on the change order: additional site clearing, regrading work once trees were removed, ditch work and a gas line reroute.
In other business, the Board of Works:
• Approved an agreement for the Community Crossings grant the city was awarded by the state for infrastructure improvement.
Street Superintendent Jeff Beeler said the amount is for $251,416.25. The work to be completed is on North Pointe Drive between Husky Trail and Mariners Drive. It involves the reconstruction of the roadway, new curves, drainage and sidewalks.
He said he hopes seek bids for the project in mid-May.
• Approved a financial services agreement with Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors LLC for arbitrage compliance on the recent lease rental bond issue for the Airport Industrial Park sewer project.
The agreement will go before the Redevelopment Commission at its next meeting.
Fees charged for work performed are based on hourly rates.
• Approved the outdoor seating area for rua on East Market Street and One Ten Craft Meatery on North Buffalo Street. Taylor said the arrangement will be similar to 2018’s. Outdoor seating at restaurants in downtown Warsaw requires annual reviews to make sure they address issues such as Americans with Disabilities Act compliance, public safety and aesthetics.
