Project Update #1
Welcome to the first update for the 2024 Main Street Project Construction.
Plans and Specifications are complete and have been out to contractors for bidding review since February
27th. Bids are set to be received on March 20th, with City and County action expected by the end of the
month. A preconstruction meeting will be held with the successful bidder during the first half of April,
where a schedule will be developed, and other project related information discussed.
This week, certain property owners along the project received information regarding Temporary
Construction Easements. These easements will allow the contractor to replace the sidewalk or other
improvements up to the edge of the building. Following the proposed improvements, the temporary
easements will expire. If you have any questions or are concerned about the need for an easement near
your property, please reach out to Jade Berube. His at the email address is found at the end of this update.
Weekly updates will occur throughout the upcoming construction season. They will be sent to everyone on
the email list to keep you informed of current and future activities along the project area. You can expect to
see them late in the week. If you know of someone that is not on this project email list, please have them
contact one of the individuals listed below and we will get you added.
Finally, although the meeting schedule may not work for everyone weekly meetings are also anticipated
and the public is welcome to attend. The schedule will be provided in future updates.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during the improvement project. If you have any questions,
feel free to contact the City Engineer, Jade Berube, via email at jade.berube@apexenggroup.com, or City
Manager, Jonathan Smith at jsmith@cityofperham.com.
