Parking Garage Construction Update - June 25, 2018

ATTENTION:

Upon learning of concerns from many abutters to the garage site regarding the postponed IAC meeting that's been rescheduled to July 2, 2018 - Staff have decided to move the meeting to July 12, 2018 at 6:30PM in the Mayor's Conference Room and avoid any potential conflicts with the July 4th Holiday to ensure we have as many people around the table as possible to inform you of progress made, and provide information about the asbestos cleanup and traffic movements over the next 2 months.

We currently have an approval from MassDEP for the removal of the contaminated material, and are waiting for some logisitical information related to material trucking to come back from our consultants in order to expedite removal. We will be working with our consultants and project team to facilitate the removal of materials per the MassDEP approval and associated guiding regulations over the next several days.

We are currently continuing with footing excavations, and moving forward with the mobilization of concrete forms and rebar. Concrete placement will continue until the end of this week, with large pours upcoming pending removal of contaminants.
