SR-55/Ritchey Water Improvement Project Construction Management & Inspection Services Water Pipeline Replacement Improvement Project City of El Segundo Berg served as primary construction manager for this Bid - Build project. Approximately 950 feet of existing old water mains, located primarily on two residential streets, were replaced with 8"-12" ductile iron pipe. In addition, 22 water services and 2 fire hydrants were replaced. The project included laying of new pipe, installation of gate valves, fire hydrants, meters, air relief valves and associated laterals as well as connections to existing systems, chlorination, flushing, pressure testing, and reconstruction of the trench and roadway to final grade. Additionally, 2 existing valves were removed and replaced at the request of the water department. This extra work was tracked and paid on a T&M basis. Mike served as lead inspector, overseeing the contractor's daily activities, monitoring contractor schedule and provided issue -resolutions in the field. Pacific Coast Highway at Hawthorne Boulevard Intersection Improvement Project I City ofTorrance The first phase of this two-part project replaced the water main at the intersection of Hawthorne Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway and included work with 8", 12", and 16" water lines. With many shops in the area, it was important to properly implement traffic control so construction would not impede on access to businesses. Other project services included trench excavation, pipe laying, sidewalk reconstruction, cold milling, HMA paving operations, pavement striping, and curb making. The project also included streetlights, traffic signal systems, and the installation of traffic signal loop detectors. The second phase of this project has just kicked off and will widen the intersection at Hawthorne Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway to in order to create dual left-hand turn lanes and right -turn pockets at all four approaches. New PCC pavement sections will generally consist of Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement (JPCP) over Lean Concrete Base (LCB) over Class 3 Aggregate Base. The project will also include traffic signals, a water main installation, relocation of catch basins, a small retaining wall, new landscape, and irrigation. Success Story: When the contractor had significant weather delays, Berg's inspector made sure to inspect the traffic control set-up and message boards even when the contractor was not working. He discovered that the contractor had a defunct message board that would stop working, so he documented the issue and worked with the contractor to make sure there was always effective traffic control in place.
