090608 - corrective work, but that Sletten wanted the Engineer to be aware of
090609 - what has happened.  Dale Harrington indicated that he has observed
090610 - that the "discoloration" which had been reported a few days earlier
090611 - has receded considerably.

110503 -
110504 - Rod Welch advised that the Engineer has taken notice that Sletten's
110505 - crane is now parked in the area which is Directed for use by Gracon.
110506 -
110507 - The crane is not doing any work.  It presents a potential bar to
110508 - Gracon performing its work in the manner Sletten caused on 880921 and
110509 - 880922, ref SDS 5 6038
110511 -  ..
110512 - Dale Harrington stated that Gracon intends to mobilize a Concrete
110513 - Pump truck on site today and that it needs to be stationed at the
110514 - location where Sletten's crane is now parked.
110516 -  ..
110517 - Jeff explained that Gracon intends to attempt its next pour with the
110518 - Concrete Pump truck parked where Sletten's Crane is located and that
110519 - Sletten has a duty to move the crane, so that Sletten does not cause
110520 - Gracon delay in setting up the Concrete Pump truck at that location,
110521 - pursuant to the Engineer's Directive, ref 9 and 7.
110522 - ..
110523 - Jeff further advised that Gracon's decision to locate its
110524 - Concrete Pump truck for the next pour at the edge of the Cofferdam
110525 - rather than at the foot of the stair next to the dam, does not waive
110526 - any of the provisions of the Directive permitting them full access
110527 - across the Cofferdam, ref 9 and 7.
110529 -  ..
110530 - These understandings do not require that Sletten may not park its
110531 - crane in the present location during periods when such location is
110532 - not needed by Gracon.  Nor does it mean that Sletten is denied or
110533 - inhibited in performing its work as needed, during periods when
110534 - Gracon is not using the access for its work, as in the past few days.
110536 -  ..
110537 - It is expected that Gracon will give Sletten notice when it needs the
110538 - area where the crane is parked, and that if Sletten delays the avail-
110539 - ability of this area, then damages will further accrue as set out in
110540 - prior notices, ref 9 and 7.
110541 - ..
110542 - Sletten's notice of the Gracon accident, ref 17, states in
110543 - connection with this matter:
110544 -
110545 -   "In view of our previously ignored concerns about Gracon's
110546 -   intended use of our cofferdam, precautions and general lack of
110547 -   proper planning and implementations, we request very adamantly
110548 -   that they be directed to use other means and/or methods on all
110549 -   future concrete pours"
110551 -    ..
110552 -   The Engineer finds this position is incorrect.  The accident
110553 -   occurred at night and related to an electrical line.  It had
110554 -   nothing to do with the cofferdam.  The cofferdam was at all times
110555 -   secure and unaffected by the accident.  Without passing on the
110556 -   issue of fault, per se, it appears that Gracon's planning and
110557 -   precautions were no more "inappropriate" than Sletten's conduct
110558 -   when its workman was injured in an accident a few days after
110559 -   Gracon's accident, ref 19 and 20.  It might be argued that the
110560 -   electrical line was negligently located and secured.  However
110561 -   that issue is different from Gracon's access across the cofferdam
110562 -   to perform its work.

130605 - Gracon also has several large pours.  Dale and Kieth will work out
130606 - between them the best times for each to pour.  Dave indicated that
130607 - Sletten is anxious for Gracon to complete the first part of its work
130608 - so flows can be directed to the other end of the dam away from the

200605 - Dave explained that the work to prepare for concrete pours (forming
200606 - and installing rebar) has not progressed as quickly as expected
200607 - because of the complexity of construction details and the confined
200608 - area where the work is being performed.  He feels Increasing the labor

260710 - Dave Marsh said Sletten is committed to meeting this milestone.
260712 -  ..
260713 - Jeff asked about when Sletten expects to be setting the Curb Ring and
260714 - how long it will take to perform, since the Schedule shows 10 work
260715 - days.  Dave said Sletten can do it in one week.  Rod Welch asked
260716 - whether Sletten's analyses and determinations take into account the
260717 - time to perform the cadwelding, ref 10?
260719 -  ..
260720 - Wayne Wetzel and Kieth Carlson indicated concern about Sletten's
260721 - Schedule calculations, as well.  Dave and Paul affirmed that Sletten
260722 - has fully considered the matter so that the Engineer may rely on the
260723 - 881017 start date for Voith.
260725 -  ..
