OVERVIEW Knelsen Sand & Gravel Ltd. is the successful contractor for the City of Grande Prairie's Downtown Rehabilitation – Phase 4 project.

This project involves upgrading infrastructure including water services, sanitary and storm sewer, street lighting, concrete curbs and gutters, sidewalks, asphalt pavement and street furniture. New shrubs and trees will be planted in front of the buildings, with new paving stone walkways being installed on top of structural soil cells.

This brochure focuses on activities that will occur over the 2021 construction season and the milestones that will be achieved for each construction area. Simultaneous scopes of work will occur for the duration of the project as our primary scheduling objective is to have construction complete by the end of October 2021.

When road closures are in place, Knelsen Sand & Gravel Ltd. will accommodate all pedestrian access to businesses and properties within the construction zone. Our Public Relations Representative will be in constant communication with both the business owners and Knelsen's Project Manager to ensure minimal impact to store front access and to coordinate deliveries. Once construction begins, public and crew safety will be priority number one. A Traffic Accommodation Strategy will be implemented, and no public vehicle access will be permitted into the work zone. The roads within the project limits will be used as staging areas for equipment and materials until construction is substantially complete and the area is reopened for public vehicle access.

SEQUENCE OF WORK Mobilization and Set Up • Set up message boards for advance notice of construction and information.

• Set up detour signs and temporary traffic signals.

• Mobilize equipment and materials to site, set up fencing and walkways.

• Install temporary potable water piping system.

• Ensure that potable/temporary water is tested and safe for consumption before construction of new water lines commences.

Replacement of Underground Infrastructure in the Roadway • Remove existing asphalt pavement, sidewalks and concrete curbs, trees and existing street furniture.

• Replace deep utilities (sanitary, storm and water infrastructure) will be completed in stages.

• Conduct pressure testing on the new water line and we will ensure all potable water is safe for consumption before terminating temporary water feeds.

• Video inspect sanitary and storm sewer for acceptance.

• Begin road and sidewalk construction once underground utilities are tested and accepted.

Sidewalk and Landscaping • Remove any remnants of existing sidewalks or walkways.

• Excavate areas requiring soils cells, and install irrigation and electrical.

• Install streetlights.

• Install seat walls, planter curbs and prep landscaping.

• Install concrete headers along buildings.

• Pour concrete base between the concrete and the back of the curbs so the paving stone walkway can be placed. While concrete is being poured, pedestrians will have access to businesses over wooden walkways.

These walkways will be removed once concrete is cured .

• Installation of paving stones and street furniture.

• Planting of trees and landscaping.

Top Lift Asphalt, Line Painting and Cleanup • Following sidewalk completion, the road will be paved with Hot Mix Asphalt.

The final lift will be done at the end of the project so that a smooth and sealed surface can be delivered.

• Install permanent line markings such as centrelines, stop bars and crosswalks.

• Install permanent signs.

• Final wrap up and cleaning of the project area. Site will be cleaned, swept and all barricades/fencing will be removed before opening to public traffic.

General Construction Information • Crews will begin to arrive onsite at 7:00am and will work until 7:00pm (NOTE: hours of work may vary for individual subcontractors). Some scopes of work will be conducted on a 24-hour basis. Construction activities will produce noise, dust and vibrations. These bi-products of our work scope will be minimized and mitigated to the best of our abilities.

• The probability of property damage is low, however in the unlikely event that your business or property is damaged please report to the Knelsen Team immediately. The extent and cause of damage will be assessed and an action plan implemented. All existing buildings will be photographed for pre-construction records.

• As the project begins, we may need access to your property for installation of temporary water services. Notice will be given in advance for any water shut down or service changes.

• If there are any concerns with interruptions, service changes, or if there are questions concerning construction activities and schedule, please call Knelsen Sand & Gravel Ltd., Public Relations Representative, Naomi Allison-Tremblay 780-831-5877.
