Council Consideration for Night Work Approval — Partial Lane Closure at Tequesta Drive and
Seabrook Road
The Utility Department's WM#1 Tequesta Drive Watermain Replacement Project includes several
work areas that require partial lane closures to safely and efficiently complete the watermain
installation. The contractor, Ferreira, is currently preparing to construct the watermain crossing at the
intersection of Tequesta Drive and Seabrook Road. This crossing was originally designed to be
installed using an open-cut method.
Due to the high traffic volumes and the importance of maintaining daytime traffic flow at this
intersection, the contract requires this open-cut work to be performed during nighttime hours to avoid
significant daytime traffic delays and impacts to residents.
At this time, the contractor is evaluating the feasibility of using directional drilling as an alternative
construction method for this crossing. If feasible, directional drilling would significantly reduce impacts
to nearby residents and eliminate the need for nighttime work and associated lane closures. This
evaluation is being conducted in an effort to minimize disruptions while maintaining overall project
efficiency.
Pursuant to Article X, Noise, Division 1, Section 30-361 of the Village Code, construction activities
occurring during nighttime hours require prior approval by the Village Council. While directional
drilling is the preferred approach, subsurface conditions may require the contractor to proceed with
the originally designed open-cut installation. Accordingly, Council approval is being requested at this
time to authorize nighttime work should it become necessary, as it would take place in 2-3 weeks.
If nighttime work is required, Village staff will provide advance notification to the Village Council and
affected residents prior to the start of construction. Notifications will include anticipated work dates,
hours, and potential impacts. Under the current design, nighttime construction would involve partial
lane closures for an estimated duration of five days.
