ISSUE
STATEMENT:
Section 5.220(c) of the Springfield Municipal Code restricts the hours that
construction activities may occur to between 7 am and 6 pm. Public Works
Department seeks permission for H & J Construction to work outside those hours in
order to minimize disruption to businesses on Q Street.
ATTACHMENTS: None
DISCUSSION/
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
The City of Springfield has contracted with H & J Construction to rehabilitate
sewer mains for project P21048 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation 2011, Basin 22. The
work includes Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP) liner in the sewer main located behind Q
Street businesses and next to the Highway 126 right of way. Installation of the
CIPP liner requires temporarily plugging private sewer laterals attached to the main
sewer line while the liner cures. Plugging the private laterals along this mainline
during normal business hours would greatly impact the affected businesses as many
of them have high water usage and the plugs will be in place for about 5 hours.
Several business operators have asked the City to schedule this work during night
hours to minimize the disruption. In order to minimize the impact on the businesses
this sewer main serves, the Public Works Department requests a noise variance to
allow the contractor to work during the night when businesses are closed. This
work is scheduled for December 6 through December 9, 2011.
Noise generated from the repair work will likely come from a compressor, a small
generator and a refrigerated truck. Noise levels should be lower than those coming
from the adjacent Highway. Staff anticipates few residents will be affected by the
noise generated.
The financial impact of this change is estimated to be $4,500.00 or less for
additional overtime and pumping. The additional cost can be accommodated in the
project budget.
Staff recommends approval of night work behind Q Street businesses adjacent to
Highway 126 and 5th Street.
