26 Sunday Jun 2022

≈ Comments Off on Fogsealing Postponement

Originally scheduled for Monday, June 27, the fogsealing operation has been postponed with a target date of September 2. Cactus Asphalt informs us that the liquid asphalt sealant will not cure properly in the high summer temperatures. We have been assured that the delay in applying the fogseal coating will not affect the longevity or durability of our newly resurfaced roads.

We will send out a notice prior to the fogsealing operation.

On behalf of the Board, thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Chipseal of All RVH Roads Begins 6/22

15 Wednesday Jun 2022

Posted by in Improvements, Roads

≈ Comments Off on Chipseal of All RVH Roads Begins 6/22

Dear RVH HOA Members and neighbors,

Chipsealing of all RVH roads is scheduled to begin Wednesday June 22, and will be completed the next day. Fogsealing, a coating of asphalt sealant applied over the new chipseal, is scheduled to be applied Monday, June 27.

During these operations residents are encouraged to avoid using the roads. If you must go out, expect delays and possible accumulation of liquid asphalt on tires and painted surfaces of your vehicle. Warn your scheduled contractors, landscapers, etc. not to visit during construction. Keep pets clear of the fresh asphalt. If you walk the roads, remember to check your shoes before heading inside. Asphalt on painted surfaces can be removed with mineral spirits. The contractor is not responsible for damage or inconvenience.

Cactus Asphalt performed the most recent chipsealing of our roads and has been selected this time as well. They will be using state of the art equipment and methods of application. Pre-coated MAG (Maricopa Area Governments) specification fractured stone will be used throughout the project. The binding asphalt is produced using 10 percent recycled tire rubber for added strength, increased traction, and quiet travel. Expected service life is between seven and ten years.

On behalf of the Board, thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Traffic Alert – Erosion Repairs on N. 296th Ave – 1/6/22

04 Tuesday Jan 2022

≈ Leave a comment

The work at the erosion sites on N 296th Ave that was supposed to happen on Monday, January 3rd, failed to occur. The work crews from Cactus Asphalt showed up, but the cement and rock deliveries failed to happen.

We have been informed that the rock delivery is now expected on January 6th . Please be on alert that work crews may be present at the erosion site on N 296th Ave on that day and possibly on subsequent days. Cactus has been unable to confirm a delivery date for the cement grout that remains to be applied to the rock spillway.

Lacking the ability to forecast these materials deliveries, we can only ask that you please be prepared for the presence of work crews at that site without notice. The Board will provide you with updated information as soon as we have it.

When approaching and driving through the work area, please drive slowly and be patient and be alert to the movement of personnel and equipment. The crews will do their best to minimize delays to traffic.

APS unexpectedly started work this morning on a line replacement project.

The project begins approximately at Jim Stevens’ driveway and extends up 296th Ave to Mike Reilly’s driveway. The project is scheduled to be completed around the 17th, but difficult digging may extend this estimate. Traffic control personnel are in place.

Status Report — N 296th repair and infrastructure improvement project

≈ Comments Off on Status Report — N 296th repair and infrastructure improvement project

Dear RVH Residents and Neighbors,


Cactus Asphalt has finally been able to schedule our repair and infrastructure improvement project relating to the storm damage that occurred along N 296th Ave.

 
The work is scheduled for Oct 11 – 15.  The work is expected to take the entire week. A single lane will remain open to traffic throughout except for momentary closures due to equipment movement.


A notice will be sent to all residents and neighbors again just prior to the start of work as a reminder to please drive slowly and use care when passing through the work zone.


The attached aerial view is an artist’s conception of the scope of the project as it will appear when completed.
Thanks for your patience.  All contractors are swamped with work right now for a variety of reasons.  And it has taken much longer than expected to develop and review the design and to complete the bidding, RVH Board review and approval process and then scheduling.  That is all now complete. We are in the queue to have our work done as soon as possible.

Regards,
Bill Owens
