Here is the schedule of work the contractor plans to do within the next few weeks:
Greenhaven Neighborhood (Phase 1)
- The contractor will install more gravel in the street Tuesday 9/2 through Friday 9/5. Please do not park on the streets these days.
- Paving the first layer of asphalt on the streets is scheduled for Wednesday 9/10. Please do not park on the street or your vehicle will be towed.
- Asphalt driveways are tentatively schedule for 9/11 through 9/17.
- The contractor will continue working in the boulevards to clean up and level dirt.
- Mailboxes and irrigation systems will be installed after the first layer of asphalt is paved and before the sod is installed. Tree planting will happen after sodding.
- Sodding and topsoil installation is scheduled to start the week of 9/15.
Birch Grove Neighborhood (Phase 2)
Garbage and Recycling Cans
If the contractor is working near your property on garbage or recycling day, we have requested that the contractor move your cans to an area where the haulers can have access to them. After the cans are emptied the contractor will bring your cans back to your property. Please, if you’re able to, put a piece of duct tape on your cans with your address to ensure you get your can back. If you’re not able to do this, the contractor will. Also, please have your cans out to the curbside the evening prior.
Irrigation Systems
If you have an irrigation system and haven’t contacted us yet, please do so as soon as possible.
Getting your driveway redone?
- If you plan to have your driveway completely redone, please contact us by as soon as possible to provide us with the name of your contractor along with a quote. We always recommend getting at least 3 quotes from different contractors.
- We will reimburse your contractor directly for the area that was disturbed by construction at the project cost only.
- The project’s asphalt and concrete contractors will not give quotes for the private side of driveways.
Colorful Locate Flags and Wooden Survey Stakes
You will see these items in your yard during construction. The flags are marking locations of utilities such as gas, electric, TV, internet, and phone buried underground, so the contractor knows not to hit and damage those. The wooden stakes are survey informational points for the contractor to build the watermain, storm sewer, sanitary sewer and road. Please do not disturb any of these items or we’ll need to have them resurveyed which will cost money and delay the project. Thank you in advance!
Emergency contact after hours
If you have an emergency related to the project after work hours or on weekends, please call 911. The Police Department will notify the 24 hour on-call project superintendent from the contractor.
Construction Working Hours
Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Saturday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. (the contractor will try to not work on Saturdays)
Please note, dates are subject to change with weather and unforeseen construction obstacles. We will try to update you as soon as we know about them.
