Greetings First Street Tunnel Stakeholder:
Over the coming weeks (beginning Saturday, March 14) Skanska Jay Dee (SKJD), the First Street Tunnel (FST) Project Contractor, will increase Saturday work efforts at each of the FST work sites/Construction Staging Areas (CSAs). The added work activity has become necessary in order to make up for time lost during various unforeseen delays in the project construction schedule (i.e., utility relocations and extreme weather conditions). However, Saturday work will begin at 9: 00 am rather than 7:00 am.
Different tasks will be undertaken at each CSA. All Saturday work will be done between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm and will occur as weather and the contractor’s schedule allows. Saturday work activity will include (but may not be limited to):
· Construction of concrete collar around shaft and install freeze piping
· Excavation of soils and form work set-up
· Shaft work including welding, carpentry and rebar installation.
· Adit (micro-tunneling) construction—most of these operations would be underground except for minor support/crane service from the surface
· Utility relocation
It’s important to note that while some work has taken place on Saturdays since mid-December, the above listed activities will require a more consistent Saturday work schedule, including materials delivery (concrete, rebar etc.) The proposed actions may bring about a need to make adjustments in parking and alterations in fencing around certain CSAs. However, this work will not impede access to homes nor violate established noise and vibration requirements.
We apologize for any convenience this may cause you and we appreciate your cooperation as we work together to complete the First Street Tunnel Project by the projected March 2016 completion date. As always, if you have any concerns or questions about these activities or the FST project in general, please call the FST Hotline (844) FST–INFO/(844) 378-4636.
Regards,
Tom
