UPDATE July 21, 2026

UPDATE July 21, 2026, Patrick Henry Court Drainage Project:
AMT (Engineer of Record) completed the survey work on June 18, 2026, and delivered the as-builts on July 10, 2026.

LOWA is reviewing the red lines on the as-builts to ensure all our questions/concerns are captured.  LOWA will forward our items to AMT to create a single punch list and present this information and its associated deadlines to Steady Construction (contractor).

AMT and LOWA staff are working with regulatory departments (DEQ & Orange County) on close-out permitting requirements, with a focus on obtaining permission to remove the orange protective barriers.

LOWA Staff will continue to monitor the project during rain events to observe whether it is functioning as designed. LOWA team to assist with turf establishment.

Road Work: Contractor (Steady Construction) will pave project areas on Yorktown Blvd., and tar-and-chip project areas on Patrick Henry Court which will be completed as soon as AMT approves the construction or any additional required work to their satisfaction. Advance notification will be provided.

The contractor will complete final site cleanup once the fencing is permitted to be removed.
Any projects outside the original project scope will not be included in this project completion punch list.

Please do not remove, move, or tamper with the protective fencing along property lines or in common areas. Doing so can compromise the work, cause setbacks, and delay the project's overall completion.

Recently Completed Tasks:
Landscaping: AMT inspected the plantings and will provide a report. The ongoing drought presents a challenge to establish healthy root systems. The landscaping will continue to be monitored throughout 2026 and into 2027.
Steady Construction: Crews have completed demobilization of construction equipment. They continue with smaller repairs and adjustments as we monitor the effectiveness of the project with rainfall.

Hollyfield Park Parking Lot Resurfacing Update: Crews have finished laying material on the Hollyfield Park parking lot.
 
Some areas of erosion-and-sediment-control fencing were removed, as permitted by DEQ; the rest must remain in place until new grass is fully established and approval is received.

IMPORTANT REMINDER:
Erosion and sediment control fencing is a critical part of the project and is required to remain in place throughout all project zones until stabilization is complete. This fencing helps prevent erosion, protects newly seeded areas, and ensures the site meets environmental and regulatory requirements.
