McALESTER McAlester city councilors hope they finally have the stalled Seventeenth Street project off high-center.
City councilors held a special meeting Monday night to consider and act on three change orders regarding the new street construction and infrastructure replacement along Seventeen Street, where no substantial work has been done for days.
Following a series of split council votes, amended measures and related maneuvers, a total of 20 more days have been added to the completion project moving it from the original July 8 completion date to the new July 28 date.
City councilors also approved paying a total of $35,177.75 for the project.
Both the contractor and engineer working on the 17th Street project blamed the work stoppage on fat clay and other unsuitable subgrade material, that is exposed whenever the street is opened for work, that will hold water for days.
The contractor has attempted to rip, dry and rework the subgrade material to meet the specification requirements with success throughout the majority of the progress limits, according to city documents.
However, there are isolated areas that are unsuitable and are not drying out, the documents state.
Resident Engineer Tammy Robinson, with a company called EST, and contractor Tony McDonald, of Austin Paving, the contractor for the project, both said Monday night they had specialists look at the problem.
Both specialists proposed the addition of a geogrid reinforcement to bridge the unsuitable materials in order to move forward with the project.
Robinson compared it to placing a board across a muddy street during the Wild West era.

Since a temporary detour and Apache Trail closing last week, Cole County Public Works officials say the improvements on Business 50 in Apache Flats continue to move ahead of schedule.
The contractor, Don Schnieders Excavating, has been able to complete the subgrade work and Apache Trail intersection quicker than previously planned.
The current plan is to complete all driveway approaches and the rest of Apache Trail by the end of the week and begin paving Tuesday, depending on the weather.
The paving is expected to take about two days. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, they should have the asphalt base layer completed by the end of next week, which would be about approximately 2 weeks ahead of schedule.
There will still be sidewalk and finish work to be completed over the next few weeks, but traffic will not be impacted except for occasional trucks and equipment entering and leaving the roadway, officials said.
The next phase of the project will likely begin at some point next week and that will start with stormwater inlets and pipe work.
Pioneer Trail Drive will be closed for some duration to allow for the construction of the intersection and a new permanent traffic signal. The intersection will be completed by the time Pioneer Trail School starts back up in August, officials said.
Public works officials added that the one-lane gravel drive that runs behind the Marine Corps League and the Regional West Fire Protection District Fire Station is on private property and is not to be used as a detour except for emergency vehicles. There have been some issues with this, and barricades will be placed to prevent its use.

CHURCH HILL The Hawkins County Sheriff's Office is investigating a $6,400 paving scam allegedly perpetrated last month by a man recently indicted for a similar crime in Virginia.
A 58-year-old Hawkins County woman told the HCSO on Tuesday that she'd been looking for a company last month to come to her residence on Chappell Road near Church Hill and give an estimate on the cost of fixing her driveway.
The woman said she contacted Frank Edward Small, 54, of Kingsport, who owns Affordable Driveway Services.
The woman told HCSO Cpl. David Benton that Small arrived at her residence on April 23.
"Mr. Small came to the residence and began pouring asphalt before giving the victim any kind of estimate, and continued working even after being told to stop," Benton stated in his report. "The victim stated she tried several times to get him, or one of the people working for him, to stop because all she was wanting was the estimate, but they continued to refuse."
Small and his workers eventually stopped working, at which time Small reportedly informed the woman her bill was $6,400.
"When she tried to argue the point that she had never authorized him to complete the job he became very upset, and out of fear she went ahead and wrote him a check for the amount asked," Benton added.
Last week the woman saw an article in the Times-News about Small being indicted by the Scott County, Va., Grand Jury for similar activities, at which time she decided to notify the HCSO.

EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. -
East Providence Police Department is warning the public about a familiar scam.
Police say you should watch out for someone offering to pave your driveway at a discount. The person may say they have extra asphalt, but police say there's no such thing.
According to police, suddenly people and equipment may appear on the victims property, and then the con-artist claims a mistake was made and the victim ends up owing thousands of dollars. Police say the invoice won't include a company name and the person may try to escort the victim to the bank.
NBC 10 called East Providence Wednesday night and were told at least one report of such an incident in that city.

Police warn of a driveway paving scam - News, Weather and Classifieds for Southern New England
It turns out that life on Menlo Park's Louise Street as the residents know it may survive the addition of one more driveway after all.
Developer Sam Sinnott and resident Kiki Kapany issued a joint press release on Friday (May 9) announcing that the two parties had settled their differences over a tangle of greenery on the cul-de-sac in a conflict that started more than a year ago.
The settlement will let Mr. Sinnott construct a 16-foot-wide paved driveway at 1825 Santa Cruz Ave. that will exit on Louise Street, while preserving a portion of the 53-foot-by-60-foot patch of greenery as open space.
Mr. Sinnott and investment partner Mircea Voskerician bought the property two years ago for redevelopment, but then ran into trouble when Louise Street residents protested the pair's plans to build a driveway and then switch the home's address from Santa Cruz Avenue to Louise Street. The residents argued that paving even a part of the green space would damage the character of their neighborhood.
Although city staff initially authorized the driveway, in August, the council voted to turn the green space over to the residents a process known as abandonment. Mr. Sinnott then filed a lawsuit in San Mateo County Superior Court in November against several of the residents as well as city officials.
When asked what made a settlement possible now, Ms. Kapany responded by referring to the press release. "That's all we have to say. Thanks so much."
Bill Garrett, the attorney representing Mr. Sinnott, said, "Cooperation. Communication. Compromise." A framework for a settlement was reached back in February, he said, and the parties have since worked out the details.
The press release offered no other information about the terms of the settlement. The revised terms of abandonment were part of the City Council's consent calendar for May 13.
