It also includes the following additional time: 5 days for the unusual freezing weather, 16 days multiple utility delays, 26 days for the reduction in work hours at the adjacent school request, 30 days for an intersection modification, 2 days for the additional asphalt tie-in work, 3 days for pipe size increase and 4 days for the additional driveways.


Expected Impact:

Changes will allow the project to drain during construction, allow installation of safe and sustainable intersection pavement, restore existing driveways and install a smooth concrete/asphalt pavement interface. Additional time allows the contractor the additional time to complete these additional tasks.
