Hypoluxo & Jog Project

• Roadway & Underground Work
• The annual contractor, Johnson Davis, conducted a video inspection of the storm drain system and identified several pipe joints outside the acceptable tolerance. The two significant issues found required road excavation and have already been addressed. The remaining deficiencies will be repaired using noninvasive methods from inside the pipe.
• Because the remaining repairs do not require road excavation, milling and paving could begin and is ongoing.
  
• Johnson Davis will begin mobilizing equipment from this project to the Gateway project within the next three weeks.

• Signals:
• Hypoluxo/Cumberland Farms: Coordination with the roadway contractor is ongoing, and the signal work will begin immediately following the completion of paving. If roadwork and detection loop installations are completed on schedule, we estimate the signal will be activated early to mid-April.
• Hypoluxo/Jog: Soft digs for the remaining three mast arm locations were completed on March 7. Gerelco, the signal contractor, is working to coordinate the installation of the mast arms, if FPL can de-energize the overhead lines as requested.
• Gerelco would like to schedule work on the west side of Hypoluxo & Jog for the week of April 21.

Gateway & Military Project

• Roadway & Underground Work
• Some video inspections of the storm drainage pipes were received on March 7 and have been reviewed by county staff.
• Johnson Davis will perform additional video inspections during nighttime hours next week due to the location of manholes within active travel lanes. Once reviewed, a determination will be made if noninvasive repairs can be conducted from within the pipe or if the road must be excavated to perform a major repair. This determination will dictate when the milling and paving operations begin.
• The contractor has committed to breaking ground on this project within the next three weeks.

• Signals
• Soft digs were conducted on March 12 and 13th. All corners are clear of conflicts except the northeast corner, where two mast arms will be installed.
• Coordination with the utility owners has already begun for the mast arm foundation location.
  
• Disccussing alternate solutions to resolve the second mast arm location.
  
• Like the Hypoluxo and Jog project, we will need FPL de-energization at the southwest corner. Staff met Gerelco on March 18 to discuss a foundation installation plan. Overhead FPL lines will need to de-energize for the installation. Once Gerelco confirms their schedule, they will request de-energization from FPL.​
