Thad
I am aware of the Local 150 strike that occurred on June 13th, 2011. 2010 INDOT Standard Specification section 108.08 line 420 states excusable delays and I am more than willing to work with you to track the days. If you have any questions call or email me.

Thanks
Mike

Mike,

                Please see below on Local 150 strike.  We are requesting time extension to deal with this strike that is out of our control.  I expect, weather permitting we will be done a trade until Walsh & Kelly installs the stone base, curb and asphalt.

 

Thanks

Dear Sir,  Possibly you already know that this morning, June 13, 2001, the Operating Engineers went on strike at our facilities.  Pickets were set up in front of Walsh & Kelly, Inc., Rieth-Riley,  E&B, Phend & Brown  and I assume other union asphalt plants.  This strike affects all our operations.  The word is that the number of pickets will increase tomorrow to include job sites.  We at Walsh & Kelly, Inc. are essentially shut down.  The work stoppage is for all contracts under the 4 county and 10 county agreements which covers St. Joseph and Elkhart Counties.   Per Section 108.08 line 331 of the 2010 INDOT Standard Specifications we are requesting additional time as necessary during this work stoppage for completion of the work on the specific contract we have with you.  I will keep you updated.  As of this date we have no idea how long this will last.   Please schedule accordingly realizing that at some point, if not immediately, this strike will affect your controlling operation.  Please pass this information on to all affected parties regarding work Walsh & Kelly, Inc. is to perform.  Sincerely, Walsh & Kelly, Inc., Les Heiser, Project Engineer

Daily 6/6

Water mains near completion.
Beginning to lay the remaining 18" RCP from Str 15 to Str 12.

It was discovered today that the electrical plans called for 1 1/2" conduit for the street lights on the project. I was informed by the designer DLZ that the reasoning for 1 1/2" conduit was that it could fit up to 7 #4 wires but the specs call for only 4 #4 wires. The standard for the city is 2" and informed the contractor to use the 2" in place of the 1 1/2" and there is no need to give a price because there is a line item for the 2" PVC conduit.
