SUBJECT: West Sanitary Interceptor Project
Dear Supervisor Torlakson:
We respectfully request and urge your assistance in securing a road closure permit extension for
Sunset Road in Brentwood regarding the above-mentioned project. The current permit allows for
closure until November 6, 1990,
T & S Construction Company has experienced: very slow progress. They now anticipate that the
work on Sunset Road will not be completed until December 15, 1990.
As the road closure permit expires on November 6, 1990, I am requesting that this issue be placed
on the Board Agenda for the November 6, 1990, meeting allowing until December 15, 1990, to
complete the work on Sunset Road.
Sincerely,
Cl"

Re: Road Closure Permit No. 8361-6113 for Sunset Rond
Dear Ms. Creswi!ll:
You and Contra Costa County Public works Department staff are aware
of the Brentwood West Sanitary Interceptor Project and the extremely dan-
gerous and dif!'icult conditions encountered during its construction.
Staff from the City of Brentwood, the Contra Costa County Department of
Public Works, :tnd T & S Construction have met several times durJn con-
struction of the project. r
The last m+seting between these parties to discuss the referenced s
f
permit was held September 28, 1990. As a result of that meeting, an ex-
tension of the road closure permit until November 8, 1990 was granted.
T & S Construc :ion openly admitted to all parties at that time that this
extension may -tot be adequate due to the difficult consttuction• being
encountered on Sunset Road. We felt that our request, for an extension
was reasonable in light of tbo information available, and our desire to
make a request which was endorsed by all parties concerned.
Since that meeting, T & S Construction has been working dawn to
dusk, six day's a week in an all out effort to complete work on Sunset
Road as soon as possible. Indeed, we have made significant progress. Of
the 1 ,000 feet yet to be constructed a month ago, 460 feet now remain.
This letter is our final request for a permit extension. The pro-
duction rates achieved in the last month allow us to make an accurate
estimation of the time required to complete our work on Sunset Road.
T b 8 construction can now guarantee that pipeline work on Sunset Road
will be complete on-or before December 15, 1990.
The closure of Sunset Road has become a necessity due to the un-
stable soils and utilities that exist. Due to a conflict with a P. C.
& E. gas tine the sewer pipeline has been shifted to the road center-
line by the City of Brentwood. Because of the unstable soils and the
numerous utilities which exist, T & S Construction is using steel
sheat pits shoring for the excavation. These factors make it impos-
sible to complete our work while the road is open ,and assure *pbldli.c
safety. As always, we will continua to make provisions for emergency
vehicles if our request is granted.
We regret the inconvenience inflicted upon your constituent$ by
this construction activity. This inconvenience is an unfortunate con-
sequence of underground construction within the public right of way
and is beyond the control of T & S Construction. We have worked
closely on a personal level with many of the residents along Sunset
Road to mitigate construction impacts.
Thank you for considering our request. I can be reached at (316)
381-3057 if you would like to discuss this issue or i can provide
more information.
Respectfully Submitted,
Michael Hogan
