CONSTRUCTION NEWS

At today's Central Construction Team meeting:

1) Staff work schedules during abatement - There is no need to shift library staff schedules. The abatement work, including removal, can be done without any staff impact. The abatement is expected to be done/out by Friday.

2) Temporary walls - The black tarp will remain in place during the construction. The tarp is generally backed by a temporary wall (up to 8 ft.). Signs, posters, etc that are lightweight can be mounted on this tarp. Since this is also a dust barrier, check with Rick Brown if you need to tack through the plastic tarp to the temporary wall behind.

3) Next week, March 5--9, the interior demolition will take place. Besides walls and millwork, ceiling and light fixtures will be demo'd. This work is done with 1 crew so there should not be any greater impact on our parking.

4) Multiple Crews parking - As of Monday, 3/12, ACI will be scheduling multiple crews on site. Parking may be tight. More information on the schedule and its impact will be provided through the Hard Hat Gazette.

5) Electric Work - pre demolition, some electric connections need to be disconnected, within the next several days. This is to be done before 9a.m. and for a short period of time, but if power is out in the morning, it may be construction related. Contact Rick or Carol on cell 936-4782

To Date: Change in opening hour to 11 a.m. Signage in place; telephone messages in place. Welcome desk in place. A press release was sent. If anyone sees any press on our construction - please email and/or send a copy.

Thanks for great cooperation and flexibility.
