November 3

- Walked with Massa to determine what HS concrete pads were to be removed per the bid drawings.  The HS front entrance handicap ramp was slightly revised to conform with the existing sidewalk flow.  The curbs will be removed at the handicap ramp permitting tapered concrete to be flush with the asphalt. 

- Four concrete pads at the HS front entrance "Fire Zone" will be removed due to severe cracking.  This work should be completed this week.

- During the HS sidewalk demolition along the HS science wing the concrete thickness was found to drastically vary from 10" to 2-1/2" within a matter of a few feet.  No rebar was present within the concrete.

- The HS front entrance handicap ramp removed was found to have wire mesh at the base of the concrete.  The installing contractor never pulled the mesh up during the pour.

- Contractor arrived on site to pre-measure the Elem stage curtains.  Once the order is submitted they anticipate delivery to take place between 8 - 10 weeks.

- Massa removed the remaining concrete along the HS science wing.  Stone base was installed at each location.
