Archertown Bridge contractors to remain on site through July 3 as work moves to cofferdam and wing walls
Summary
Selectboard member Kevin Follensbee reported on a June 8 work session: a change order discussed switching from a silt fence to a silt sock, crew will tie rebar to wing walls, build a cofferdam and be on site Monday'Friday through July 3.
Kevin Follensbee told the Selectboard on June 10 that he attended a June 8 work session with the contractor and construction engineer on the Archertown Bridge project over Jacobs Brook. The team discussed a proposed change order to use a silt sock rather than a silt fence for erosion control.
According to the minutes, the contractor will next tie rebar to the wing walls and construct the cofferdam; the contractor plans to be on site Monday through Friday until July 3. No formal change-order vote is recorded in the minutes; the entry documents the construction schedule and upcoming work.
Why it matters: the change in erosion control approach and an intensive on-site schedule could affect nearby waterways and residents during construction. The Selectboard did not record any additional permits or approvals tied to the change order in the minutes.
What happens next: construction activity will continue through early July; the board will monitor progress through routine updates.
