The Student Rec center is located on the northwest comer of Pearl Ave and Osceola Street. The work in the right-of-way will be performed by CD Smith (general contractor), August Winter and Sons (mechanical), and Thomas Electric (electrical and signal). The State of Wisconsin has contracted with these companies for the construction phase ofthe project, for these specific areas of work. This work is part of their contract with the State. Due to our construction timeframe we are requesting approval to proceed prior to the Common Council acting upon the permit request. We do understand that we risk having to remove said utilities, should the Common Council not approve our request for the permit. Enclosed is the permit application and associated drawings showing the extent of work involved. Please let me know ifthere is anything else the University needs to provide in order for this work to proceed. The contractors need to start this work within approximately 3 weeks. Please feel free to contact me at 920-424-2006. Sincerely, t?t ~ L J (\/ C-,/""., ~') 71/~L{,~ Christine Miles Associate Dir. Facilities Management Dir. Planning & Construction FACILITIES MANAGEMENT.
