Hayfield Road Pipe Project Update 11/12/2019

Here is an update about the Pipe Project work on Hayfield Road in the area from the Hayfield Pool to Broadmoor Street. A homeowner asked about work in that area and many residents will be interested in knowing these details.
Question
Related to the work happening in front of houses on Hayfield Road from the Hayfield Pool to Broadmoor Street, when the work on this first stretch of Hayfield Road will be completed?
Answer from County Project Managers

I will answer by what the contractor’s schedule currently says and what I think based on what I’m seeing in the field.

 

As always–please keep in mind that weather factors can influence this project. Good weather is great, of course, but bad weather can delay projects as we all know.

According to the contractor’s schedule they will be installing sanitary sewer line in advance of the start of the box culvert installation through the middle of January, 2020.

7’x4’ box culvert installation, which for our purposes also includes the outlet structure and plunge pool, will begin in mid-January, 2020. They will also be performing small water line and water service relocations as the work on the box culvert progresses. The box culvert goes up past Broadmoor St. where it changes to 48” reinforced concrete pipe (RCP). The box culvert installation should be complete by May. Installation of the 48” pipe will continue after that. The remaining work in the area of the pool will consist of restoration and repaving. According to the schedule, milling and paving happens last in October 2020.

The contractor has indicated they plan to beat the project schedule. Keep in mind they also have a hard deadline to be out of the swim club lot of May 1. They want to have most of the project work complete, except for the Telegraph Road crossing and some restoration done by then as well.

The contract substantial completion date (the date when the work is sufficiently complete so that it can be used as intended) is October 12, 2020. The contractor can always finish earlier. Punch list work should be completed within 45 days after substantial completion.

As a practice, I don’t like to predict early finishes to construction projects. I think it’s reasonable to tell the property owner that the area in front of their house will be pretty well clear of construction by mid-April at the latest, very likely several weeks earlier. Again, keep in mind that bad weather usually impacts (delays) major construction projects.

As many Hayfield Farm residents know, Fairfax Water repaired a water-main break on Broadmoor Street near the Hayfield Road intersection. Fairfax Water has updated our Fairfax County Stormwater Construction Branch staff. Work to provide a permanent patch over that water-main break is on their contractor’s schedule for November, so it should be completed by the end of November and with some luck, well before then.
