Waterway Boulevard work pauses briefly after DOT permitting snag; pipes installed at 22nd
Summary
Staff reported the Waterway Boulevard crew completed pipe installations at 22nd Avenue and moved staging to 23rd, but a pre‑construction discovery that DOT requires a separate water/sewer encroachment permit will likely delay the schedule one to two weeks while the contractor provides a revised timeline.
Staff told the committee that crews finished pipe installation at 22nd Avenue and had staged materials at 23rd, but a permitting issue discovered at pre‑construction requires a second DOT encroachment permit specifically for water and sewer work. That requirement was not anticipated in the original permit set and means the contractor will likely need an additional week or two before certain road cuts and crossings can proceed.
Why it matters: the added DOT permitting step affects the contractor’s planned sequence and could shift the project schedule; staff said they have requested an updated contractor schedule and will try to keep other work progressing (for example, moving to 25th) so the project is not idle while the permit is processed.
Next steps: staff will obtain a revised schedule from the contractor and coordinate permit processing to minimize the delay.
