PHASE 2B STREET PROJECT

The pavement and base material has been removed and issues with the sub-surface, again, have required additional work. This has required installation of Cement Treated Soil (CTS) which is being performed Thursday.

Thursday at 8:45 the fiber optic cable was hit and damaged. in early June of 2026, prior to the start of work on the street, IPS had received clearance from Dig Alert which is required a safety measure that is performed to identify any utilities that may be impacted by the construction. Receiving confirmation that utilities were marked and none of them would be impacted, work proceeded. Unknown to Dig Alert, Verizon and IPS was the fact that when the conduit containing the fiber optic cable was installed, the installing contractor went OVER the slurry covered power conduit instead of under it. This placed the fiber optic conduit at base material level thus resulting in the damage.

Dig Alert and utility was notified immediately. When Utiliquest (Verizon/Frontier specialist for Frontier) technician arrived later that day, he stated that the conduit was not serving Verizon/Frontier and did not know who owned the conduit. this resulted in a frantic search to find the owner and initiate repairs.
