Recent Activities:
During the past month, the contractor installed dowels and reinforcement and poured and cured concrete in Bay 1 underneath one of the dam's pier widening areas. In Bay 1, slab rebar, formwork and stop log block outs for slab to an elevation of 479.50' was started. Existing structural demolition in Bay 1 was completed. Dam armoring excavation and concrete placement was started on the South slopes.
Change Orders:
- Pending Change Order: Sundt has been requested to provide pricing to add a gantry crane to the Contract. The gantry crane will allow Lake Placid to set and remove stop logs as needed to maintain the new gates. Sundt is waiting for pricing from their manufacturer.
- Pending Change Order: Core and grout underneath existing spillway slab. Sundt is working on pricing this change order.
