NOTE TO NEIGHBORS: Please be advised that we anticipate that, weather permitting, the Contractor team will be working this Saturday, March 8, from 7 am to up to 7 pm.
While performing this work, the contractor will continue to follow all noise ordinance-related requirements. So far, we have observed that while the Deep Soil Mixing (DSM) equipment is very large, the sound created by the process is relatively minor compared to typical construction work.
UPDATE: Night Noise Permit and Timing
The Contractor was able to successfully de-mobilize a rig this morning and anticipates being done with night noise until next week. They anticipate one more early morning, next Thursday, 3/13, with next Friday, 3/14, as backup.
This work outside of normal work hours is necessary to demobilize large drilling equipment. Equipment of this size is transported on large semi trucks. Due to the width and weights, CAL Trans requires loads of this size to cross the bay bridge prior to 6:00am. These limitations required the contractor to load out the equipment in the early mornings. Trucking activities will begin around 4:00am on these days.
The crew will make every attempt possible to minimize noise during this time. We recognize the inconvenience this creates for the neighbors and appreciate the patience. This is a big step towards opening the new Gene Friend Recreation Center in 2026.
We are pushing to wrap up DSM production this week and associated quality assurance and quality control work (QA/QC) by mid-March, after which you will start to see concrete progress (figuratively and literally) on the new building!
Thank you for your patience with this portion of construction and thank you for your support of this transformative project.
Feel free to reach out with any questions.
