Approving temporary construction work with associated noise impacts between the hours of 7:00 PM and 7:00 AM on West Badger Rd from Fish Hatchery Road to the west dead end of Badger Road. (14th AD)
Body
PREAMBLE
Madison Water Utility is planning to install new water main on West Badger Road from Fish Hatchery Road to the west dead end in the spring of 2014. In 2013 another section of water main on Badger Road immediately to the east was refurbished using pipe lining technology. Together, these two projects will remedy the issue of frequent water main breaks and repairs this section of road has suffered for decades. Both water main projects will be completed ahead of the 2014 City of Madison contract to resurface West Badger Road.
Work on this project includes disconnecting all water service laterals from the existing water main to the new main once the new main is serviceable. To make these connections, the lateral must be taken out of service. The operation typically takes four to six hours to complete and but may take several hours longer if unaccounted factors arise.
Madison United Healthcare Linen, located at 1310 West Badger Road, is a medical laundry facility that supplies sterile, surgical-grade linens to hospitals. The laundry has two separate water service laterals, both off Badger Road. Madison United Healthcare Linen's business is dependent on a constant supply of water during their hours of operation of 3:00am to 4:00pm. Any interruption in their service between these hours is a severe hardship for the business. To accommodate this business, Madison Water Utility seeks to perform the operations that would cut off water supply to this business to after 4pm.
The proposed activities beyond the hours of 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM are as follows:
1) One occurrence of the operation to disconnect the 6-inch water service at 1310 West Badger Road from the existing water main and move it to the new water main between 7:00 PM and 12:00 AM.
2) One occurrence of the operation to disconnect the 8-inch water service at 1310 West Badger Road from the existing water main and move it to the new water main between 7:00 PM and 12:00 AM.
All remaining work in the contract will be completed between the standard contract hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
Madison General Ordinance section 24.08(3) provides the Common Council the ability to allow construction activities, with associated noise impacts, outside of the hours of 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. with a public hearing before the Board of Public Works and the passage of a resolution.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that construction work, with associated noise impacts, between the hours of 7:00 PM and 7:00 AM at 1310 West Badger Road are hereby approved in accordance with section 24.08(3) of the Madison General Ordinances, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the construction activities outside of the hours of 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM are limited to those activities identified in this resolution and are limited to the hours specified, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the approval of that construction work, as provided in this resolution shall expire on May 31, 2014.
