Prior to the holidays, we shared a project update about construction-related work.
NOTE TO NEIGHBORS: Please be advised that we anticipate the Contractor team will be working this Saturday, February 1, from 7 am to up to 7 pm.
While we have encountered several challenges with obstructions in the soil, we have worked collaboratively with the design and contractor team to identify solutions, and we are in the home stretch.
We are authorizing this work to keep construction progressing as quickly as possible, with the goal of finishing the below-grade foundation support by late February and the confirmatory testing by late March.
While performing this work, the contractor will continue to follow all noise ordinance-related requirements. So far, we have observed that while the DSM equipment is very large, the sound created by the process is relatively minor compared to typical construction work.
Weather permitting, we anticipate authorizing weekend work for 2/8/15 and will post details here as soon as we have them regarding any additional weekend work.
UPDATED: Night Noise Permit Sought by Contractor for 3/3-3/7 [Note: date range updated, February 13, 2025]
The contractor team anticipates that they will be demobilizing large drilling equipment from 2/24 – 2/28. Equipment of this size is transported on large semi trucks. Due to the width and weights, CAL Trans requires loads of this size to cross the bay bridge prior to 6:00am. These limitations required the contractor to load out the equipment in the early mornings. Trucking activities will begin around 4:00am on these days. The crew will make every attempt possible to minimize noise during this time. We recognize the inconvenience this creates for the neighbors and appreciate the patience. This is a big step towards opening the new Gene Friend Recreation Center in 2026.
Thank you for your patience with this portion of construction, and thank you for your support of this transformative project.
Feel free to reach out with any questions.
