2022 Rockford Infrastructure Improvement Project Update

May 17, 2022 By //  by City of Rockford

2022 Rockford Infrastructure Improvement Project

Construction Notice and Update, May 17, 2022

Fast Facts:

  • This notice is intended to provide a general overview of the 2022 Infrastructure Project; including general information on how this project may affect residents, and what potential timelines look like for the various phases of construction throughout this project.
  • The City of Rockford awarded the 2022 Infrastructure Improvement Project to New Look Contracting. Pre-construction staging and project set-up will begin around May 13th, with construction of the 2022 Improvement Project beginning in late May, 2022.
  • While very preliminary, this project is currently being projected to be completed around the end of October of this year. Please note that this timeline may shift during construction due to a variety of different conditions out of our control.
  • The project areas will be under construction for a considerable portion of the summer. The roadways will be restricted to local traffic only, however access to the homes and businesses in these areas will be maintained throughout the project. If you typically travel through these areas, we ask that you find alternative routes. If you travel to within these areas, access will be available but at times my be restricted to one lane or may require you to enter from a different direction if an intersection is under construction.
  • We will be sending weekly e-mails that explain what work was accomplished over the past week and what is hoped to be accomplished in the upcoming week. If you would like to receive this weekly update, send an e-mail to Adam Noreen as a request to be included in the e-mail chain: noreen@stantec.com.

What is the 2022 Infrastructure Project?

The 2022 Infrastructure Project is a street, stormwater, water and sewer system improvement project that will repair and extend the useful life of these improvements. This project will repair or replace approximately 17% of the city’s infrastructure and can be broken down into six different component that vary by each street: replacement of the existing water main; replacement of water services adjacent to the water main; rehabilitation of the sanitary sewer mainline; rehabilitation of the sanitary sewer service; replacement of failing asphalt pavement; and, replacement of failing storm sewer catch basins.

  • The replacement of the existing watermain. Watermain replacement will utilize a method referred to as Pipe Bursting, which reduces the amount of excavation and disruption necessary to complete the watermain replacement.  Excavations will be required at intersections, hydrants, bend locations, and at each property to replace the water services.
  • The replacement of water services adjacent to the watermain replacement. Water service replacements will require excavations in both the street and yards within the project area up to the water shut off (aka Curb Stop), typically located at the property line.
  • The rehabilitation of the sanitary sewer mainline (typically located in the middle of the street). Sanitary sewer mainline rehabilitation will utilize a trenchless “lining” method referred to as Cast-In-Place-Pipe, which limits the necessary excavations to only locations where the existing pipe must be replaced due to conditions prohibiting the CIPP to be installed inside of it.
  • The rehabilitation of sanitary sewer services requiring repairs. Sanitary sewer service rehabilitation will utilize a trenchless “lining” method referred to as Cured-In-Place-Pipe, which limits the necessary excavations to only locations where the existing pipe must be replaced due to conditions prohibiting the CIPP to be installed inside of it. A cleanout will be installed on the exterior of your home over the sewer service to allow the contractor access to the pipe.
  • The replacement of the failing asphalt pavement. For the majority of the project, the top lift of the bituminous pavement will be removed and replaced by milling the surface of the pavement and replacing the top layer of bituminous pavement. Select locations may have the entire pavement section removed and replaced as needed.
  • The replacement of failing storm sewer catch basin rings and storm sewer pipes in isolated locations throughout the project areas. These improvements will require excavations at existing catch basins and the removal and replacement of the concrete curb in areas that are not draining properly.

When Will the Project Start?

Rockford 2022 Infrastructure Improvement Proposed Schedule

New Look Construction (“New Look”) was awarded the 2022 Infrastructure Project after submitting the lowest responsible bid in March 1st of 2022. New Look will begin pre-construction staging and project set-up around the week of May 16th, 2022. Actual commencement of construction will begin in early Late May, 2022.

Overall, it is anticipated that the 2022 Infrastructure Project will be completed with a target date of early November, 2022. The project is broken up into three phases.

Phase 1 which includes the areas Northeast of Hwy 55 is anticipated to begin in Late May and continue through September.

Phase 2 which includes Maple Street from Linden Street to Nathan Boulevard is anticipated to begin in July and continue through October

Phase 3 of the project includes the River Oaks Road and Red Oaks Drive Roadways and is anticipated to begin in September and continue through October.

We look forward to working through this 2022 Improvement Project together for the betterment of our community. We are dedicated to providing clear and consistent communication as we move through the various phases of this project, and we encourage you to reach out with any questions you may have.

Thank you.

Compost Site Closed until Wednesday

May 2, 2022 By //  by City of Rockford

The Compost Site will be closed Monday, May 2nd and Tuesday, May 3rd, 2022 due to muddy conditions and improper materials and usage. When the compost site becomes too wet, some vehicles are unable to make it to the proper designated areas for dumping. Additionally, heavy vehicle traffic creates ruts and makes it difficult for most vehicles to drive in and out of the compost site.
 
Because of these conditions, some residents dumped their yard waste – along with other materials that cannot be left at the Compost Site – right in the middle of the driveway area. As a result, the compost site will be closed for two days. Once the compost site dries up enough, Staff will need to clean up the site and improper materials before it can open again to the public. We estimate that the Compost Site will be open again to residents on Wednesday. Please help keep this site open and in good condition by following the rules.
 
Thank you.

No Mow May

April 27, 2022 By //  by City of Rockford

At the April 26th, 2022 City Council Meeting, the City Council voted to approve a Resolution supporting the “No Mow May” initiative followed in many cities across Minnesota and the United States. No Mow May is a voluntary program where people in a community may elect to forego mowing their lawns between May 1st and May 31st to provide support for the emerging pollinator population coming out of hibernation.

Pollinator populations are threatened due to habitat loss, neonicotinoid use, pathogens and parasites; and bees and other pollinators are integral to pollination of plants in order to grow gardens and a wide diversity of essential foods including fruit, nuts and vegetables.

In support of this initiative, the City Council has passed a Resolution temporarily suspending enforcement of Ordinance §901.04, Subd. K that provides that grass taller than 12 inches in height constitutes a Public Nuisance. Lawns will need to be brought into compliance with this Ordinance beginning June 1, 2022.

More information on No Mow May and the importance of pollinators can be found at https://beecityusa.org/no-mow-may.
