Extended Work Hours for June 1-4

IMCO has received permission for their storm drain installation crew to work 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. next Tuesday, June 1, through Friday, June 4, due to tidal conditions.  The crew will be excavating, laying 36" concrete pipe and backfilling in the area between the Marina Office and the north end of the dry sheds.  Because of the area's proximity to the bulkhead, this underground utility work can only be done at lower tides.

In approving the request, the following conditions were stipulated in the approval for the modification of the Hours of Operations:

1. The construction site must be completely shut down for the day, to include turning off construction lighting, by 8:30 p.m. each evening;

2. The Contractor is required to comply with all noise requirements established by the City's Municipal Code and WAC 173-60; and

3. Construction lighting shall be directed away from the residential areas and limited to lighting needed to safely illuminate the work zone as established by industry standards.

IMCO's other construction crews will still be working their regular 7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. hours.

If you have any questions about this work, please don’t hesitate to contact Doreen Torseth or Harbormaster/Project Manager Joe Dusenbury at 206-824-5700.

Thank you for your continued patience and cooperation during construction.
