Oak Park/Monticello Improvement Project
City of Pleasant Hill | Pleasant Hill, CA
Situation: Years in the making, the Oak Park/Monticello Improvement Project provides necessary infrastructure improvements to service the new Pleasant Hill Library, sports fields, residential development, and the Pleasant Hill Middle School. Key improvements include widening existing Oak Park Boulevard roadway, upgrading traffic signals, undergrounding utilities, extending sanitary sewer, recycled water and domestic water systems, adding bicycle lanes, installing street lighting, and landscaping. The project improvements were phased in order to minimize disruption to the school as well as adjacent library and residential neighborhoods.
Special Challenges: When the City needed to fast-track the project in order to complete most of the improvements prior to the beginning of the rainy season as well as the completion of the library, it turned to Pakpour Consulting Group (PCG) to provide complete construction management and inspection services. The project’s water and sanitary sewer system extensions required agency permits, special inspections, and coordination with the new library and residential development construction. Coordinating construction activities presented special challenges for PCG’s construction management team as the project improvements took place simultaneously with the library and residential development construction. In order to meet all permit requirements and minimize any construction conflicts at each active project site, special coordination meetings were scheduled weekly by PCG.
