I AGENDA: Organizational Chart Foundation De-Watering/Environmental Concerns Status of Plans/Design Assumptions/Relationship between Design Teams Municipal Post Tension vs. Conventional Slab Budget ORGANIZATIONAL CHART (ATTACHMENT A): Century West has 3 different areas on the organizational chart, depending on the phase of th~ project. Civil works directly with Arbuckle Costic. Environmental and Demolition contract with the olwner. Geotech and De-watering are subcontracted to GRI and should come under Melvin Marks There should be no connection between Century West Geotech & Arbuckle Costic. This should be direct witt~ the owner as it was drafted. CSI was the developer. When we get to the point where we select other sulbcontractors we will add them under Century West. ~ Salem Area Transit & Marion County are co-owners. There may be more private co-owners ~s the project progresses. ' Companies in the shaded areas are not on board yet. The Commissioning Agent will be take ~' over by Dan Petrisuch. Arbuckle Costic made the recommendation to get the commissioning agent on b ard to begin review. It was mentioned that Byron C•~urts can do that type of thing for now if necessary. I, was decided to postpone this until we decide whether we need them or not. ' Acoustical is necessary to bring on board ASAP. Dan has used Ultramat Acoustical previou~ly and would recommend getting a proposal from them. Many acoustical engineers can deal with sound vv~ithin spaces but few deal with external noise. They had this case at the KPTV bldg which was built next t~ railroad spur and freeway. Dan found that having them talk with the structural engineers and architec~s early in the project impacted costs considerably by avoiding corrections later. Ron will have Byron talk Vvrth Ultramat Acoustical and will get proposal from them then prepare a budget number and set up a meetir~g. Leonard is not concerned that any work done to date will be problematia He believes the bldg mass ~s designed to control vibrations. Questions of concern have been around separating the bus mall from oth~r areas to decrease noise. It cannot be suspended off the columns that are used for office space. But it ~an be isolated while using the same columns, which has been done successfully in the past. It tak~s time and effort to do this but is still cheaper than making two separate structures. If the acoustical eng~ineer has other suggestions, we will entertain them. Landscaping is covered under the architect's fees but ac~oustical will be extra. We will negotiate whether acoustical is covered in the street scape budget. , ~ CH2 6/26 Minutes Page 1
