Folsom Project Meeting Notes (June 6, 2024)

Lighting Package: Finalizing is a priority; currently behind schedule.
Submittals:
- Issue for permit drawings: fire alarm, IRCs, and two-way radio.
- Submittal status: MSB one and MSB two.
PV (Photovoltaic) System:
- Issues with SMUD (Sacramento Municipal Utility District) approval.
- SMUD's pilot program may not be a pilot program.
- The vendor is non-responsive; struggling to answer questions.
- Concern about potential cost impact due to delays.

Follow up with the PV vendor to get a response to SMUD.
Potential cost increases for MSBs (Main Switch Boards) due to delays should be avoided.

Design team resistant to changes; significant cost difference in fixtures.
Need to convince the owner to approve the change, as VE (Value Engineering) wasn't done with the owner.

An updated master schedule has been created to account for rain delays.
The start of secondaries is planned for mid-August.
Multi-family project delays are impacting manpower projections.
The foreman, Joe, will be shifted to this project after wrapping up a 200-unit multifamily project in Sacramento.

Plan is to dry in the whole building at once.
Consider phasing the dry-in process to allow MEPs (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) to start work in phases.
Roof framing duration: 10 days.
Roof installation duration: 15 days.
Electrical inspectors typically require all windows and window flashing to be in place before allowing wire pulling.
Flexibility to start on one end of the building and work from southwest to northeast.
Roof framing completion: November 12, 2025.
Estimated dry-in completion: early December.

The project is on a 22-month schedule, with delays tacked onto the end.
No official request for acceleration.
Buffer built into the schedule, aiming for completion by October 14, 2026, before the 22-month mark.

RFI (Request for Information) 22: Heat pump upsize (likely in the owner's hands).
SMUD primary work handled by the joint trench contractor.
AT&T and Comcast work also with the joint trench contractor.
Secondary and primary conduit deduct: joint trench will handle everything; electricians just pull wire.
Temp power: handled.
Fire alarm: to be resolved after building permit issuance.
MSBook d one PV: pending SMUD approval; may revert to the original plan.
PV raceways: electrical team to handle raceways from the electrical room to the arrays.
Fireplace deduct: fireplace has been ordered.
Price increase due to tariffs: avoided.
Trash compactor wiring: RFI out.
Joint trench credit: 33 reduction if joint trench handles primaries.

Building permit issuance dependent on grading and fire road completion.
Last communication with FAAHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) in April; awaiting a definitive answer from Tammy (coordinator) and Allison (building official).
Aiming to get pad certification and building permit issued before the end of the year to maintain the 2019 code cycle.
Allison (chief building official) indicated the building pad should be ready in time.
The 90k amount tied to FAAHJ comments is related to low-frequency devices and may be avoided if the 2019 code cycle is maintained.
