drawing plume liability. He mentioned that de-watering during construction is different from ~ermanent ~ de-watering problems. We will do the slit-trench studies on the Eastern portion after the old s~ab is pulled up or in the near future before the slab is destroyed. Century West is working on a formal prdposal because they need to work things out with Miller Nash. Kathleen talked to Staton and was told it would take us a half- day to do the slit-trench work. They have their equipment ready whenever we'~te ready to do it. Negotiations with Chevron need to be finished and we need to have concurrence with Mil~er Nash. Chevron is wanting to be cooperative but is also aware that their property is being impacted b~ unknowns. This conversation is going to take place with Miller Nash. early next week. ' SCHEDULE - CRTTICAL PATH REVIEW (Attachment C): This function will be taken on by Dave Hays. He will also add reviews of permits to make su#e we know where we are. The City bundles permits together into one permit, but will allow us to phase t~e permits. Ron will get together with Leonard to discuss this. Rick Williams will be the permit person. Salem's permit structure is a lot simpler than most cities. Normally they have 2'h week turnaround, but will probably not be able to do meet their objective on this project. We need to keep The City briefed on any changes because it may impact their projects. Permits: Dave will give Craig details on what has been done and what needs to be done so th~t Craig can build the budget correctly. Craig also wants to be at the meeting with the city regarding perm~ts. T'he Civil permits are partially received. The relocation of sanitary Chemeketa alley has been approved~ Even though we received a permit from Leslie, it says we didn't need one since there was no fill pl~nned. Once you start backfilling, you need a permit. The design development will continue to move along assuming parking decision is made within next week or so. We may see schedule slippage of about a wjeek in the package, but may go ahead and submit the preliminary package with revisions a week or so l~ater. This wouldn't be a problem as long as we notify them by phone of proposed changes due to the re~ults of the parking structure studies. The structural, electrical and mechanical plans are not detailed yet, ~, but it only takes about 2 hours to add them in. We would be further on if the decision on the parking ga~'age had been finalized earlier. We are set on mechanical equipment needs, with nothing extraordinarily he~vy. Electrical will show 1" and 2" diameter tubes and won't impact the structural plans. Melvin Iylark needs to take a look at the package for now and assess the impact on where different businesses are p12~ced. Byron needs to attend the meetings that cover this type of information. The Civil permit is scheduled to go early in July. We may have to adjust it for underground ~tilities. We have had discussions with PGE regarding power from beginning so anticipate no problems. ~ur Electrical consultant has been in touch with them all along and we don't anticipate any special energy r~quirements. ~ There may be an opportunity to use urban renewal money to create a better draining system t~rough Salem. Might be worth an putting together an alternate plan for presentation to the City as far as othQr advantages to our plan. Even if we replace the storm sewer from Center to Chemeketa and out, we are liknited by the line it goes into, which is only 15" at the corner of Church and Chemeketa. Urban renewal i~ allowed to take the full increment off all improvements. They will have lots of money so this may be a Niable opportunity. If we can show it truly does help downtown, then will be a good selling point. ~lnother possibility is that the City may look at the drainage and say we have to use the bathtub anywAy because the drain can't handle us. This may be an appropriate opportunity to get Urban Renewal funds. Insulation of slab over Bus Mall: We may need to temper this slab so it's not cold in the wi}~ter. T'he ~ CH2 6/26 Minutes Page 3
