IMCO General Construction received conditional approval this afternoon to work extended hours beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, February 17, through Saturday, February 20. During this period, they will be working from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

In approving the Contractor's request, Jason Sullivan, City of Des Moines Land Use Planner II, provided the following explanation:
"The request to work extended hours for Wednesday February 17, 2010 – February 20, 2010 is approved. Pursuant to condition number 12 of the SEPA MDNS, the contractor can work after hours provided that the request is supported by an Engineer certifying that the work is tidally influenced. The engineer of record has stated the best time to complete the work is during periods occurring outside of the normal 8am to 5pm work window. Therefore, the contractor has sufficiently demonstrated that the after hour work is tidally influenced and has provided the required Engineering certification and as such is authorized to work the extended hours. Provided that following conditions are imposed:
1. The construction site must be completely shut down for the day, to include turning off the construction lighting, by 6:30 PM each night.
2. The authorization is only from February 17, 2010 – February 20, 2010.
3. The contractor is required to comply with all noise requirements established by the City’s Municipal Code and WAC 173-60.
4. Construction lighting shall be directed away from the residential areas and limited to lighting need to safely illuminate the work zone as established by industry standards.
5. Daily noise monitoring reports demonstrating compliance with the City’s Municipal Code and WAC 173-60 must be provided to the City the next day following each night of work."
