needs. Additionally, the data could provide some useful information pertaining to soils ~ conditions on the site; e.g. GRI discovered a subsurface void during their investigation. ACTION: Bill to generate a revised work order to include only work conducted to date. Stan Kelsey and Mike to review revised drainage and dewatering needs. Ron to research a"no water discharge" cleaning system for P 1. Structural - Post Tension vs. Conventional Reinforcement 7-10 Dan suggested that the County and Transit might want to consider making slight modifications to the structural plans in order to facilitate future floor penetrations for communicating stairs. ACTION: Leonard will attempt to locate areas where this might be desirable. 6-27 Prompted by Dan's memo dated June 23rd the team discussed the advantages and disadvantages of post tension construction. Leonard circulated a letter dated June 26 in responding to Dan's concern regarding flexibility. The major advantage of a PT system is first cost. Mike has recently designed several offices using a post tension system. According to Mike, a recently developed device (James "R" Meter) can be used to locate tendons. It is a relatively inexpensive ($3,500) device that can be used by facilities staff prior to core drilling. Mike indicated that with today's building codes and the minimizing of redundant reinforcement, even rebar should be located prior to core drilling. In the event that a tendon is severed, Mike explained that the repair is a relatively inexpensive and simple repair using a coupling device. The team discussed options such as marking tendons so their locations are visible after construction. ~ Punchouts can also be installed during construction to help in future flexibility. Leonard has done some preliminary space planning layouts using the 30-ft grids, and no workstation was left isolated from the conduits running from the columns. ACTION: Mike Hayford will provide MMDC with a list of owners who have recently completed PT office buildings. MMDC to contact these owners to gain their insights. Rev. 7-3 Leonard to conta.ct Mike to reconfirm this as an action item. Rev. 7-10 MMDC would like to pursue the marking the tendons and installing floor to floor knockouts. 6-27 R.G. mentioned that Transit would have some fairly heavy stationary files in their new space. Mike was not particularly concerned with standard stationary file storage. ACTION: Mike and Leonard will work to identify areas (125 ps fl for heavy loading. Signage 6-27 MMDC inquired as to building standard signage design responsibility. Leonard confirmed that signage design would be done in-house. R.G. indicated that Transit and Marion County are developing a logo and design for the project that will probably be incorporated to some degree in non-code building signage. ACTION: MNIDC will provide some examples of building standard signage. Building Systems 6-27 MMDC inquired whether PGE has been apprised of the electrical needs of the project e.g. power requirements and availability of services. Leonard 3ndicated that PGE has been involved from the beginning and there is no indication of a problem with capacity. Rev.
