Daily 7/27

Met with Thad, Less, Toy and myself on site about the issue of the surface asphalt. It was discussed that the leg is OK and the cul-de-sac should be milled and resurfaced. Less from Walsh and Kelly did apologize for the condition of the surface. He did urged to use a sand component to "fix" the bad spots. He will get back with us on what method will be used.

Daily 7/1

No work today due to rain showers in the late morning and afternoon.
Met with Thad on site to discuss the type of curb returning. On the south side of Lathrop it is going to be type A curb and gutter (rolled curb) to match existing. On trade drive it will be type B curb and gutter.
There is an issue with an underground cable on the East side of the private drive. It was not marked when locates where done at the start of the project. It has been discovered it was cut today. C&E claimed they did not do it as well as Walsh & Kelly. It is predicted that the line is a dead line. Thad is going to have the locater person determine if it is an active line in the near future.

Pay Estimate 3

Approved pay estimate 3 with the amount of $82,980.83 with a running total of $219,024.46
