Extended Work Hours - August 9 through August 13

Good news! IMCO General Construction is close to completing the dredging work at the new travel lift bay between M- and N-Docks. As they will have met enough of their dredging goals for this week, IMCO will not be working tomorrow, Friday, August 6, or Saturday, August 7, as previously reported.

Beginning next week, IMCO will dredge and create a new rock slope in the guest moorage area of the Marina. In this particular area, tidal effects on the flowing sand subgrade will require them to schedule their work beginning each day when the tide is no higher than approximately +5’ MLLW and headed out. Therefore, IMCO General Construction has requested and received approval to work the following hours this coming week:
Monday, August 9, 7:00 am – 5:00 pm (regular hours)
Tuesday, August 10, 8:00 am – 6:00 pm
Wednesday, August 11, 10:00 am – 8:00 pm
Thursday, August 12, 10:00 am – 8:00 pm
Friday, August 13, 10:00 am – 8:00 pm (if needed)

Approval for the extended work hours included the following conditions:
1. The Contractor is required to comply with all noise requirements established by the City’s Municipal Code and WAC 173-60; and
2. Construction lighting shall be directed away from residential areas and is limited to lighting needed to safely illuminate the work zone as established by industry standards.

If you have any questions regarding the work to be performed or the extended hours the Contractor will be working, please don’t hesitate to contact Doreen Torseth or the Marina Office (206-824-5700).
