Body
PREAMBLE
The State of Wisconsin, Department of Administration and the University of Wisconsin-Madison are in the process of upgrading underground utility systems across campus and will be working along and in the Murray Street right-of-way, from West Dayton Street north to Lake Mendota, in several phases during 2008. The project includes the need to do work in the University Avenue, West Johnson Street and West Dayton Street intersections within the Murray Street right-of-way. The overall utility upgrade project is scheduled to be complete in the Fall of 2010 with the work in the above intersections completed by September 2, 2008. It is anticipated that the work shall be done in two weekends unless there are unforeseen circumstances beyond the control of the Contractor or there are weather related delays. The work of this project cannot be constructed between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM because:
1. Operation of construction machinery will block travel lanes and impede traffic. Completing the work at night allows for the least amount of disruption to normal daily traffic.
2. Certain construction activities will require several hours to complete and cannot be completed without impeding access to at least one lane of traffic in University Avenue, West Johnson Street and West Dayton Street during periods of the work.
The proposed activities beyond the hours of 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM are as follows:
1. Works includes saw cutting concrete street pavement, concrete breaking with pneumatic jack hammers for portions of pavement (major sections will be lifted out by crane), removal of a portion of steel pilings, soil excavating, portable generators for lighting, soil compaction, concrete placement and finishing. Trucking to haul materials and spoils will also be included....
