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 2007 and 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 the end of September 2007. 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. The Sawing of Concrete Pavement. Works includes saw cutting street pavement, concrete breaking with pneumatic hammers for portions of pavement (major sections will be lifted out by crane, soil excavating, portable generators for lighting, soil drilling, pile driving, soil compaction, concrete placement and finishing. Trucking to haul materials and spoils will also be included.

2. Work will begin in mid June 2007 and be complete on or before the end of September 2007.
