Nell,

I left you a voicemail earlier today regarding this matter-

Attached is a revised construction management plan.  Consigli has addressed the comments from the different representatives from the City on the plan either graphically or with the notes in the upper right hand corner of the plan.

One significant challenge that remains is the access along Fore Street.  Due to the dimensional constraints on Fore Street, Consigli will not be able to provide the on street parking and one way traffic requested by the local businesses while maintaining 20 ft. access for the fire department and keeping all construction delivery trucks and equipment inside the construction fence.

If Consigli moves the construction fence to maintain the 20 ft. access, then delivery trucks will have to be unloaded on Fore Street which is a significant safety concern and more of a disruption to local businesses.  Additionally, maintaining the 20 ft. access is not possible during the unloading process – the street is simply not wide enough.

I have attached a 3D image of our plan showing a crane and delivery truck inside our construction fence to help everyone visualize this situation.

We would certainly like to meet to with you and other City representatives to discuss this further.   I would like to suggest we meet at either 10 AM or 1 PM on Wednesday, 12/12/12.  Let me know if this works for everyone.

Thanks.

Greg,

Thanks for this.  I've sent it along to the team for their review.  In addition to any new comments that they provide, we will still need the construction management plan to address our earlier comments regarding contractor parking, snow clearance, phasing/timing of street work, fire access to the gates, and planning for pedestrian movements. As I noted before, these are all items that were raised in our meeting on 10/17 and are covered, in varying detail, in the comments that were attached to the Planning Board report.  I've copied them here for reference (italics are mine).

I'll let you know if anything else arises from our end.
Nell

From Tom Errico, 10/25/12
The applicant has provided a Construction Management Plan.  In general the plan is acceptable (from a site plan review perspective), although specific details will need to be finalized before construction begins.  I would note that the removal of parking spaces on Fore Street for long periods of time is not acceptable. Additional coordination on how pedestrians will be routed through the area will need to take place.  Please provide notes.

From John Peverada, 10/24/12

 1.  Where will the contractors be parking? I see no reason for the City to sell them on street occupancy permits since they will have a fence around the perimeter of the site.
 2.  I can understand that they need to take the four meters on Union St., and I am ok with that since they are not directly in front of any businesses. However, I am opposed to them taking the 12 meters on the south side of Fore St. opposite the site. The businesses in the area rely on those spots both night and day. The developer should also realize that the cost of on street occupancy permits is $15 per space per day.
 3.  Where will deliveries be staged? In other words if multiple vehicles show up at the site at the same time, where will the additional vehicle(s) queue without blocking the flow of traffic or cause a safety concern. No vehicles should be left idling.
 4.  Will the contractor be responsible for snow removal along the construction fence to maintain road width ?
From David Margolis-Pineo, 10/25/12

In reference to the Construction Management Plan, the applicant is proposing to eliminate four parking spots on Union and 12 on Fore St for a ten month period.  The fee for each parking space occupancy is $15/day for a seven day week.  Therefore, 16 spaces X $15/day X 7 day/week X 43 weeks = $72,240.  As stated by Tom Errico, it is not desirable to have the applicant occupy this many parking spaces for this length of time.  We are hopeful a compromise can be reached.

From Chris Pirone, 10/24/12
- Fore and Union St. 20 ft width must be maintained.  Please show dimensions
- The Canal Plaza fire lane can not be used.
- Knox padlocks are required at gates (locks are to be ordered at Central Fire Station 380 Congress St.).  Please add note
- Access to fire hydrant on Fore St. needs to be maintained.
- Fire Department Connections shall not be located where large diameter hose may block egress.

Other outstanding from 10/17 meeting
- Street work not currently shown on plan.  When will it happen?  How long will it take?
