REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />DATE: 6/12/00 <br />ITEM NO.: H-2 <br />Department ApprovaL• Manager Reviewed: Agenda Section: <br />� . �—� Hearings <br />Item Description: Request to extend working hours for 2000 Contract A- Dale Street Trail <br />Background: We are currently working on the installation of the Dale Street Pedestrian <br />underpass. The Contractor, TA Schifsky, has requested that the start time for the working hours <br />be extended from 7:00 am to 6:00 am on weekdays and Saturday. The duration of the working <br />hour extension will only be for the 10- day closure of Dale Street for the construction of the <br />Pedestrian Underpass. At this time the closure is expected to start on June 19, and Dale Street <br />should be reopened by June 29th. <br />The Contract time line for this portion of the j ob is tight. We have been coordinating with <br />private utility companies and subcontractors to assure that the work will be completed in the <br />prescribed timeline. <br />Policy objectives: City Code 405.03D Construction Activities outlines the working hours as <br />7:00 am to 10:00pm on weekdays and 9:OOam to 9:00 pm on weekends. <br />The Contractor would like to maximize the use of the daylight hours for construction activities. <br />By extending the starting time to 6:OOam on weekdays and Saturday, will allow for his crews to <br />be able to set up and get down to work earlier. <br />Financial implications: If the Contractor does not meet the timeline for the construction of the <br />underpass, liquidated damages may be assessed. Staff would like the Contractor to do what they <br />can to keep to the schedule. <br />Staff recommendation: In the interest of minimizing the impacts of the Dale Street closure on <br />residents and commuters, staff recommends that the Council approve the extension of the <br />working hours for 2000 Contract A- Da1e Street Pathway from a start time of 7:OOam to 6:OOam <br />for the duration of the Dale Street closure. <br />RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: <br />Approval of a resolution extending the working hours for the Dale Street Pedestrian Underpass <br />Construction to 6:OOam on weekdays and Saturday from June 19 to June 29, 2000. <br />Prepared by: Deb Bloom <br />
