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 rebar and concrete.  Trenching for the building foundation systems will continue with installation of rebar.  This will include periodic equipment deliveries as well as trucks hauling spoils from the site.  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, concrete trucks, street sweeper and other mechanical equipment. 

Criminal Justice Project:  Building plans went to DSA for review and approval on 5/19.  Building plan approvals anticipated by the first part of November.  Fencing to be installed later this week with utility reroutes and demolition activities proceeding soon after.  Attached is the site logistics plan (20160825-site-logistic-fencing-plan-c1-41 and 20160825-site-logistic-fencing-plan-c1-42).    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.  Building plan approvals anticipated by the end of the year.   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 drive aisles of the parking lot will be affected for paving work this week.  The sidewalk between Nursing and Public Safety will remain closed for 2 more weeks.  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.  Potholing and boring activities have started this week near the baseball field and the track, Main Quad next week and the fire road near the Boys and Girls club in two weeks.  These boring activities are for new emergency phones and security cameras.  Electrical conduit and sleeving work is ongoing throughout the campus.  Electrical conduit work is taking 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.
