Emailing: Vegetation issues #1
Danny,
Items in red indicate response to the items below. Some things need to be clarified as to realistic expectation related to these types of installations. We make every effort, at times
to a fault, to minimize construction impact
Construction Plan and Methodology: Conduit shall be placed via any
combination of directional boring, soft dig techniques, machine trenching, or manual trenching. Bidder shall determine the construction methods to be utilized to complete the work.
As part of the pre-stated “Work Plan”, bidder shall provide a written depiction of the methods and resources to be used for approval by Town with its bid. Bidder shall remove rocks,
stabilize, compact soil, and level all pre-cast concrete pad sites.
While the contract and associated Work Plan allows for multiple methods of trench and material installation, it should be noted that directional bore is the least invasive of methods.
Which is why the job was designed this way. Machine trenching, for obvious reasons would be the most invasive. Hand excavation can be misleading if it is thought to be least invasive
as it requires manpower throughout the vegetation and potential increase of root damage. There are minimum requirements of access which must be allowed to perform the work and not be
held as accountable to the contractor. The crews to date have been doing an exemplary job of using the available spaces to mitigate these effects on vegetation. The items and photos
submitted by Cliff Spitzer were not performed by Hypower crews. I believe Cliff has been keeping you apprised of these items as we have been progressing.
Unless approved otherwise in advance by the Engineer, bidder shall be responsible for restoring all damaged landscaping to either equal or better condition.
This shall be for items damaged by contractor without prior approval as stipulated. As stated above, Hypower crews did not perform the associated clearing described in today’s submittal.
Engineer will have the authority to authorize the removal and replacement of landscape materials when necessary to complete the work, but maintains the authority to redirect and mitigate
project and vegetative impact. Bidder shall not remove or damage any landscaping or hardscape without approval of the engineer.
Agreed.
Work Site Access Restrictions: To the greatest extent possible,
construction equipment and personnel shall access the work via North Ocean Boulevard and minimize travel on interior residential streets.
There really should be no traffic other than the actual construction support equipment and vehicles during construction on interior streets as they do not lead anywhere that would tempt
travel otherwise. I don’t understand why this one is called out.
Work Base: Bidder shall arrange for one or more off-site locations
where material stocks will be held and equipment will be kept during idle times and during non-work hours. Such sites shall not be located within the limits of the Town of Gulf Stream
unless approved by the Engineer. Bidder shall arrange for security as needed and shall be responsible for any costs associated with loss of materials or equipment. Bidder shall not
establish temporary office or base of operations within the Town via an RV, mobile mini, or any other such portable facilities unless approved by the Engineer.
This has been done. Again not sure why this is called out. We do have tailboard meetings at each location to lay out the plan for the day. These are extremely important and are necessary
to be held onsite. The most we would have is possibly a table to open plans. This cannot be performed remotely as there are multiple crews in multiple locations and the site conditions
are reviewed constantly.
Bidder shall remove all equipment from the Island at the end of each day unless prior approval is given by the Engineer.
Agreed. From time to time we will contact you regarding the necessity to work beyond hours or leave equipment onsite. This will be done in the interest of expedition of the project and
not for sake of convenience. The bore process does have “points of no return” that push the crews late at times or hinder total evacuation of the site. Any items noted will be those
directly affected by that instance.
Thanks,
John Zoerhof
