Measure M Construction Update:
Student Services Project: The main construction access road is the road between the Native Garden and Auto Tech all the way to Cosmetology. There will be periodic deliveries of sand and gravel for utility trenches. Trenching for the building foundation systems will continue. This will include periodic equipment deliveries as well as trucks hauling spoils from the site. On 9/27 and 9/28, a crane will be used to lift underground storm water detention tanks into place. Trucks for this work will be staged at the southwest parking lot near the Edinger Ave. and Goldenwest St. intersection. Please be cautious of construction traffic and follow safety directions from workers directing traffic. Noise levels onsite will be moderate due to dump trucks, street sweeper and other mechanical equipment.
Criminal Justice Project: Building plans went to DSA for review and approval on 5/19. We anticipate demo activities to commence sometime in late October once we receive approvals from the State. The construction fencing for this project will encompass the Community Center and the entire green belt adjacent to the Administration Building, Community Center and Access Road. Additionally, this project encompasses the dirt lot that is adjacent to Parking Lot G. The access road will remain open for the majority of the construction project will short periods of closure for work on the road.
Math/Science Project: Building plans went to DSA for review and approval on 5/17. Please note that the parking lot sidewalk west of the project is closed for the duration of the project. A temporary pedestrian walkway has been created in the parking lot to accommodate all pedestrian traffic through this area. The parking lot sewer line work is complete. The drive aisles of the parking lot will be affected again for fire water work the first week of October after receiving City approvals. The sidewalk between Nursing and Public Safety will remain closed for 2 more weeks. Building demo is ongoing and will continue to be loud for a few more weeks. This will include significant noise levels across the project site but highest for Community Education, Public Safety, Nursing, Health Science and LRC buildings. The noise will include loud chipping and breaking of concrete and possible vibrations. Please be cautious of all construction traffic and workers entering and leaving the jobsite gates, especially on the west side.
Security Project: The Contractor has been onsite with vendors planning the schedule and clarifying access for the activities while long lead materials are being ordered. Utility marking has been taking place in the parking lots and quad for this work. Potholing activities are scheduled to continue in the parking lots the week of 9/26. Electrical conduit and sleeving work is to commence the week of 9/26 throughout the campus. This work will take place at night/early morning to avoid classes and campus activities. More details to follow after detailed schedule and phasing has been reviewed with the Contractor.
