BACKGROUND:
The Halls Lane reconstruction project has been initiated to address the infrastructure issues
which currently exist. The infrastructure along Halls Lane has generally reached the end of its
useful life and requires full replacement. The project scope includes the reconstruction of all
underground services (sanitary sewer, storm sewer and watermain) as well as sanitary and
water service connections to the property line. The asphalt roadway will also be reconstructed.
Many of the existing buildings along Halls Lane are situated on the property line and date back
to the late 1800’s. In order to assess the effectiveness of the Contractor’s building support
method and to reduce the risk of building damage, the City wishes to monitor vibration
generated by construction equipment caused by working in proximity to foundations. The scope
of these services includes vibration monitoring of construction operations that may cause
excessive vibration including commentary on the impact of vibration levels.
Construction of Phase 2 from Victoria Street to Gaukel Street is expected to occur from April to
October of 2012 and construction of Phase 3 from Benton Street to Eby Street is expected to
occur from April to October of 2013.
