Project Schedule

Hope you are enjoying this form of communication with you regarding the project and finding this to be helpful.  Today's blog topic is the project schedule.  A major part of the discussion at the Pre-Construction Meeting revolves around the project schedule which is always the best guess based on the current circumstances and always changes.  So keep in mind as reading about the initial project schedule that there are always going to be changes and remember to check back with this blog and the web page for the latest schedule updates.

The East Central Storm Water Project is broken into stages (a total of 7) and priority was given to Stage 1 which is the golf course portion of the project to help get that portion of the project done prior to the heart of the golf season.  The image below may take some time to load as it is a super large version so you can see the writing.

Typically a storm water project such as this is also constructed from the point of out letting storm water up to the area where collection takes place.  This allows the collection system to begin working immediately when constructed vs. having the potential for the constructed part of the project to collect water and then hold it until the rest of the system is built.

Lundell Construction's estimated construction based on the phases looks something like this:
Stage 1 - March 25th - May 15th (May 15th is the required completion date for Stage 1 by the contract)
Stage 2 - April 15 - May 30
Stage 3 - May 6 - May 31
Stage 4 - June 3 - June 21
Stage 5 - June 3 - June 28
Stage 6 - July 1 - August 2
Stage 7 - August 5 - August 30

The final project steps will be clean up and punch list items (items found during a final review of the project by the City and the project engineer to be items needing repair, resolution, or tweaking).  Those items are projected to be finished by the end of September.

Here's the second part of the project map with the rest of the stages on it.

The contractor will use multiple crews during the project to achieve their project schedule.  The biggest impact will be the weather.  Should we have a wet spring work will be delayed where if the weather is dry then work will progress quickly and may be ahead of schedule.  The contractor will have to adjust throughout the project.

We do know that there are two bores on the project (one under HWY 7/East Lakeshore Drive) and one under the railroad tracks.  These two bores will be done very early in the project, potentially within the next week or two.

That's the current schedule for the project as of the pre-construction meeting.  We will keep updating the web page and the blog on changes that we know about in regards to schedule updates and work progress, so stayed tuned!

Have a great weekend.
