ISG engineer: Industrial Park rail extension largely complete; paving delayed by weather
Summary
Ari Hoekstra, civil engineer with ISG, reported the rail scope for the Industrial Park extension is finished (ballast and switches installed); paving by contractor Halstein is delayed by rain and cold and is expected to begin at the rail crossing by the end of the week, with most work hoped to be finished before Thanksgiving.
Ari Hoekstra, civil engineer with ISG, updated the council on the Industrial Park rail extension (fourth addition), saying the rail scope has been completed. “Last week, the rail scope of that project finished up. They got all the ballast put in, switches and all that stuff,” Hoekstra said.
Hoekstra said the paving contractor (identified in the discussion as Halstein) will handle the pavement work across the rail crossing and that weather—rain and colder temperatures—pushed the start from earlier in the week to later. "They're shooting for the end of this week to start ... hope to be finished up with the majority of it before Thanksgiving," Hoekstra said.
Council discussion included an update that another contractor is continuing work on Centennial and that demolition or removal work is underway; a completion date for that item was referenced later in the meeting as Dec. 12. Speakers exchanged brief, informal comments about salvaging bricks and the project timeline.
The project update in the transcript does not include contract numbers, specific budget figures for the rail or paving work, nor formal acceptance language. For contract details, staff reports or the project packet should be consulted.
