MEeemSA%Wc AN •-'L-� Mr. Bruce Jones City Hall Everett, WA 98201 Dear Bruce: CHARLES B. OGDEN fi CRAIC THOMPSON K JOHN JONES A. GARY O"LEARY JOEL 0. NIEMI June 4, 1990 RE: Everett Main Library 87-085 On behalf of the contractor for the Main Library, Cree Construction Co. Inc. we are advising the City of the schedule for partial demolition of the Elks parking garage. We received the enclosed preliminary schedule at our project meeting on Wed., May 30. The contract documents required 48 hour notification of Elks by the City prior to beginning this phase of the work. This work is scheduled to begin as soon as the temporary shoring drawings are submitted to the building department, which is anticipated to be later this week. These drawings will be prepared by an engineer working for the contractor. As previously discussed, the contractor's engineer has expressed concern for the structural condition of the remaining parking structure. (See attached letter dated May 10, 1990 from Structural Design Associates). One of his recommendations is to vacate the remaining parking during the time when the concrete tees are being removed. This will assure the safety of the Elk's members and prevent any possibility of damage to automobiles. This appears to be a reasonable request and in the intarest of all parties involved. The previously agreed upon construction easement will be adequate for the remainder of the work. Please advise the Elks Lodge of this request an :-et up a time to meet and discuss the construction schedule and methods for coordination with the contractor. I have discussed the parking issue with the manager of the Elks and he suggested that "free" or "permit" parking on California would help offset the parking inconvenience during this phase of the work. Please persue this with the appropriate city staff if it is a possibility. Our structural engineer has also reviewed the letter from SDA and has assured us that their (:asign is adequate and will correct the portion of the existing beam which is failing and will provide adequate shear wall for the remaining parking structure. We would agree that the existing structure has been poorly maintained but our modification and repair will leave it in a better condition than now exists. It was never considered a part of our contract to repair the entire garage. The long term use and required maintenance of the remaining portion of the garage needs to be addressed by the Elks and/or the City.
