PROJECT SUMMARY
Current Progress
All 3 projects continue to make great progress. July is always our busiest month when space convert for rough in conditions to the finished material. At the pace the projects are moving the change is evident on a daily basis.
The amount of work being put in place not only taxes the trade partners involved but also District Administrative Team. The number of decisions and existing conditions that continually need to be addressed does not provide for much time to breath during these summer months.
There continues to be a Chicagoland labor dispute that has provided minimum impact to our project. The District executed a Project Labor Agreement at the onset of the project to protect against labor disruptions associated with such disputes.
Maine East:
The A Building renovation has turned the corner into finishes. The ceiling grid and MEP trim in ceilings has started. Flooring is also starting in this area.
The CTE Wing has made a lot of great progress over the last few weeks. New masonry walls are wrapping up and metal stud framing has been inspected and drywall is commencing.
The ABCD Gym new HVAC install is complete. We are expecting unit start ups in early August. The gym has been painted and will be cleaned out over the next few weeks.
The Band Rooms MEP is substantially complete and grid has started.
Area G Workroom grid installation is ongoing and MEP Trim starting over next few weeks.
The Pool Locker Rooms demo is complete and MEP overhead is ongoing.
The Pool renovation has also started. Scaffolding is complete and demolition and abatement is currently being coordinated.
The Fieldhouse flooring has been demolished and with that came a challenge of the existing condition of the substrate. Prior to bidding due diligence was performed to review options relative to the replacement of the existing floor. After demolition occurred the trade contractor that was part of the due diligence study retracted their view of steps to mitigate the substrate. Thus the team has pivoted to proceeding with the removal of the existing asphalt and replacement with concrete prior to the new field house flooring. This will delay the completion of the fieldhouse with a goal of completion by November 1, 2022.
