ADDITIONAL NOTES
Potential conflict with helical pile with Verizon DB & Gas main to be
Wood fenced panel storage decision June 30th
Vacri: The foundations for the Bernie-Milton Pavilion and the Gateways were surveyed and
staked out, showing that the location of existing utilities interferes with the foundations of the
Gateways. In particular Verizon's conduit, NYSE&G gas main, and an electrical hand hole. We
were able to schedule the installation of the helical piles for July 1st, which is an integral part of
the Gateway foundation. If these utilities are not able to be moved prior to July 1st, we will
need to reschedule the helical piles to a later date, which will be established by the availability
of the sub-contractor.
Vacri: Andy Breznay brought up again his concerns with the valve boxes and water meter pits
that have been buried and/or run over by the contractors that are on site for the utilities and
the electrical contractor. We are concerned about damage to the existing valve boxes and
meter pits (which are not H20 load bearing) and possible excavated material filling the meter
pits and valve boxes. The meter pits and valve box locations were pointed out to the various
contractors when they first arrived on site and have been continuously reminded of their
locations and Vacri's concerns with their protection.
Vacri: Under Contract #2, the site was left at sub-grade in anticipation of Contract #3. At this
time, the elevation of the sub-grade is much higher due to the excavated spoils not being
removed during the utility construction by the other contractors. This material needs to be
removed prior to any box out of the site under Contract #3, and to be able to locate and asses
any damage to the meter pits and valve boxes that may have incurred. Vacri Construction did
not allow in their bid this additional material to be boxed out.
