Town's Concerns
Record drawing for force main and manuals are still outstanding. Manhole cover is offset and needs to be realigned prior to final paving. David Polcari of CDM presented a letter on excessive infiltration at North and Central Street. There is a sag in the sewer pipe in North Street that needs to be addressed. CBB and the Sewer Department have agreed on a settlement.
The siphon work continues.
The Town has provided an estimate for North Street paving. Mr. Doyle has approved the MOU. The Town has signed the MOU and is waiting for CBB to sign.
Punch list continues. Major items remaining are largely related to sewer work. There is agreement by all parties on the outstanding issues.
Cliff Prentiss has produced a shop drawing for a gate design for the Town Brook to show DEP. Drawing prepared and has been provided to CBB. The Town has made a formal request to the MBTA.
The Town raised the concern about the amount of dewatering going on in the boat sections. No change.
The Town raised a concern about waterproofing of the tunnel.
The Town Fire Department has been training in the tunnel. It has been going very well.
The Town asked for a fire hydrant at the grade crossing at Eldridge Court as was shown in the original design. Mr. McRae explained that since the intersection was not being closed, it was no longer required and was dropped from the plans.
