Mr. Jeremy Perkins, All South Consulting Engineers, LLC, reported as follows:
1. Project CIP-12-23-01 Replacement of 24" Transmission Line – Williams Pump Station toward Connely St.
On 11/19, the first progress meeting was held with the Contractor, Engineer, and TPCW Staff. Since then, the Contractor has performed a satisfactory air pressure test on the first segment of pipe. They have not pulled that segment of pipe into place due to mechanical issues with the drill rig. Another drill rig was mobilized on site to continue operations. The pipe for the 2nd segment has been fused and air pressure tested. The contractor is fusing pipe for the 3rd segment. Change Order No. 2 is pending. It will add the removal of the existing canal crossing near Hwy 182 and removes 4 bore pits. We also met with TPCW staff to discuss extending the current project to the standpipe. Modifications to the permit drawings are in progress.
