scheduling conflict with the drill rig operator. Century West expects that drilling will ~ occur early next week. Craig inquired whether a revised scope / proposal ~ad been developed. Mike Hayford confirmed that GRI had prepared a revised sco~e and fee. ACTION: Mike Hayford to distribute revised proposal to MMDC and Pe#~ce / Kelly. Rev. 7-3 Drilling occurred and two observation wells installed. Expec~ report in seven days. 6-27 Dan inquired about dewatering responsibilities. Dave indicated that if conytamination was not an issue, e.g. treating contaminated water prior to discharge, Pence / Kielly has assumed dewatering during construction is their responsibility. Dave indi~ated that the plumber would have responsibility for providing underslab drainage if the'treatment of environmental contamination was not an issue. Structural - Post Tension vs. Conventional Reinforcement 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 dat~d June 26 in responding to Dan's concern regazding flexibility. The major advantage o~a PT system is first cost. Mike has recently designed several offices using a post tensi~n 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 ~acilities staff priar 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 rep~ir is a ~ relatively inexpensive and simple repair using a coupling device. The tearm discussed options such as marking tendons so their locations are visible after constru~tion. Punchouts can also be installed during construction to help in future flexib~lity. Leonard has done some preliminary space planning layouts using the 30-ft grids, anjd no workstation was left isolated from the conduits running from the columns. I ACTION: Mike Hayford will provide MMDC with a list of owners who have recentl~ completed PT office buildings. MMDC to contact these owners to gain their insights.', Rev. 7-3 Leonard to contact Mike to reconfirm this as an action item. ' 6-27 R.G. mentioned that transit would have some fairly heavy stationary files i~ their new space. Mike was not particularly concerned with standard stationary file starage. ACTION: Mike and Leonard will work to identify areas (125 ps fl for healvy loading. Signage 6-27 MMDC inquired as to building standard signage design responsibility. Le~nard confirmed that signage design would be done in-house. R.G. indicated th~t Transit and Marion County are developing a logo and design for the project that will p~iobably be incorporated to some degree in non-code building signage. ACTION: MNQDC will provide some examples of building standard signage. Building Systems ~
