130802 - Swan Construction on Earthwork
130803 -
130804 - Jeff and I met with Mr. Bill Clark, field Superintendent for Swan
130805 - Construction Company.
130806 -
130807 - Bill advised that he met with Sletten management (I noticed he was in
130808 - discussions with Mr. Sletten about 1300 at the downstream end of the
130809 - project - see also below on meeting Sletten, ref SDS 0 LG3L) and
130810 - discussed completion scheduling and sequencing of the earthwork.  He
130811 - indicated Sletten expects Swan can mobilize to begin backfill
130812 - operations in about 2 weeks provided the concrete work is complete in
130813 - sufficient degree.  Bill explained it is not feasible for him to
130814 - perform other work ahead of backfilling the concrete work, because he
130815 - expects to use some of the excavated materials for backfill.
130816 - Additionally, he feels there is only about 2 weeks work for him and he
130817 - wants to avoid the expense of multiple move-ins.
130818 - ..
130819 - Apparently Sletten has decided to perform the removal of the
130820 - fill supporting the cofferdam with its own forces when the cofferdam
130821 - is removed near the end of the job, instead of having Swan do this
130822 - work.
130823 -
130824 -
130825 -  ..
130826 - Excavation of canal pipes
130827 - Affect on access across cofferdam
130828 -
130829 - Swan or Sletten will within the next few days close the entrance to
130830 - the 96" pipes supplying the canal, so it will dry before Swan begins
130831 - work, to facilitate excavation.   He feels the actual work will
130832 - require about 3 or 4 days.  During the excavation period, Gracon and
130833 - Sletten will have to work around the excavation operation to gain
130834 - access across the cofferdam.  Bill also explained that the removal of
130835 - the pipes will reduce the level of access at this location (e.g. the
130836 - upstream cofferdam).  He feels the concrete pump truck will have to
130837 - be located on the road at that point.
130838 -
130839 - Additionally, this may result in diminished access by Gracon
130840 - relative to their expectations when Mike Ream indicated this would be
130841 - adequate until access across the Powerhouse becomes available, ref 2
130842 - line 101108).

130844 -
130845 -  ..
130846 - Downstream cofferdam
130847 -
130848 - Bill advised that there is approximately two days work involved in
130849 - the area where Gracon is located for barge access on the downstream
130850 - side of the cofferdam.  He indicated there is no cost or scheduling
130851 - advantage in performing this work until the cofferdam is removed.  He
130852 - has disclosed this opinion to Sletten, as indicated above.
130853 -
130854 - I asked him if there is any advantage in performing the work now or
130855 - prior to removal of the cofferdam.  Bill said it would not be cost
130856 - effective to do this small amount of work and there is no other
130857 - offsetting advantage to perform prior to removal of the cofferdam.
130858 -
130859 -
130860 -  ..
130861 - Backfill pervious material
130862 -
130863 - Bill was under the impression that pervious material did not extend
130864 - the full depth of the Powerhouse.  Jeff reviewed the plans with Bill
130865 - and showed him the contract requires pervious material to the full
130866 - height of the structure.

150602 - Meeting with Jeff and Bill Clark
150603 -
150604 - Bill advised that Swan interpreted the contract to require access
150605 - roadway maintenance once a month, at a cost of approximately $1 500
150606 - each time work is performed, or about $50 000 for the duration of the
150607 - project.
150608 -
150609 - Bill said he is not getting paid because the Engineer is not
150610 - releasing payment for demobilization (pay item 1), which Bill said is
150611 - where payment for roadway maintenance should be made.
150612 -
150613 - Jeff reviewed the payment allowances made for this item relative to
150614 - the scope statement for demobilization.
150615 - ..
150616 - Contract section 01025 page 4 and 5 pertain to this matter, and
150617 - show;
150618 -
150619 - Pay Item No. 1 Mobilization and Demobilization:  Lump sum
150620 -
150621 -   Para c under mobilization is all that deals with access roads  and
150622 -   this is only mentioned in connection with "right abutment fence
150623 -   access roads."
150624 -
150625 -   Para c under demobilization covers:  Repair of existing access
150626 -   roads damaged during construction.  This appears to relate to
150627 -   section 01555 para I which requires fine grading the access road at
150628 -   the conclusion of the work.
150629 -
150630 - There is no clear relationship between the requirements of Pay Item
150631 - No. 1 and the requirements of Section 01555 para 3.3 F and H calling
150632 - for maintenance of the 5.1 mile access road at issue in this part of
150633 - the meeting with Bill.
150634 - ..
150635 - The nature of such work is time related and a function of the
150636 - actual use to which the road is subjected.  This is similar to
150637 - supervision of the work which is paid as a proportion of each pay
150638 - item.  Absent additional evidence it is unclear why release of
150639 - payments under pay item #1 should be necessary or appropriate to
150640 - compensate the contractor for maintaining the access road under
150641 - section 01555.

190604 - While I was walking back to the job trailor from looking at Swan's
190605 - work at the downstream end of the project, Bill Merriman was driving
190606 - by in a truck.  He stopped and introduced his passenger, Bob Sletten.

190613 - I congratulated the company on tackling a difficult job, and commended
190614 - Bill's work leading Sletten's team, including Dave Marsh, Keith
190615 - Ferguson and Paul Robinson.  A complex design, congested site and
190616 - difficult location working on the water present big challenges.
