2) Rausch elevation (courtyard side)

  • Derek and Anna reviewed spalled northeast corner and repair procedure, suggested leaving the existing flashing and creating a sealed joint with the patched joint.
  • Anna noted that the new metal is close to the surface, and that the surface might need to be a little higher than a perfect plane. Nam verified that there’s at least 1/2” of concrete over the rebar.

3) Mechanical

  • 205 is done, 101 done Monday morning; 103 or 104 next depending on access
  • 304 has ventilation as of last Friday, with a fix to a stuck damper. Unclear how the damper was fixed, and whether there’s information there re other stuck dampers. Peter will talk to Patriot to get more information.
  • Patriot has a list of work per unit, but hasn’t shared it. Peter and Nam will work to get updates and produce a final work list.

4) IGU replacements

  • New window panes should be delivered on Monday this week
  • Install 101, 201 replacements first, on Rausch side, then move around to Sumner/Clementina

5) Exterior lighting

  • Lee is talking to a lighting vendor (RAB) to get a fixture spec
  • Lee is also investigating a couple other lighting changes- replace the lighting on the 4th-floor common deck, and add a light over the main entrance

6) Security

  • People are climbing the scaffolding trying to get in. One person stepped on the glass over the entrance and broke one of the panels.
  • Nam is investigating adding barb wire to the staging to discourage climbing
  • There’s also an issue with people getting into the lobby and setting up camp in the trash room. Sub-contractors need to keep the front door closed.
