design change (elevating the granite) via

Bulletin 12 Their opinion is that the

changes leave no room for error on step

footings, etc. and bringing the concrete

flush with the pavers is more labor. MK

asked ACP to provide a more detailed

information to substantiate the price

increase.

1.1.2. The previous granite curb sample

was rejected due to blemishes. Syrstone

representatives provided a new sample

today with saw-cut edges and split seam

face. Syrstone can provide any type of

face, but the price point will change.

Sasaki concerned that the split face may

cause waving in the paving lines. Sasaki

requested photographs of previous

installations using the split face curb.Syrstone is suggesting a herringbone

pattern instead of the running bond, per

RFI 20. Supplier noted that industry

standards discourage running bond

applications where there is vehicular

traffic, particularly when the running bond

is parallel to direction of traffic. Sasaki

asked if there was less concern because

they are using a thicker paver. Syrstone

responded that yes, that may help the

vehicular traffic concerns, but the concernremains that with the running pattern any

grade changes are noticeable.

Syrstone asked for clarification of what

color polymeric (joining) sand to use.

Sasaki has selected one color (tan)

already, per Submittal 82.

Sasaki noted that a sealant is still called

for where the pavers meet a vertical

surface.

Syrstone will submit an RFI regarding

weep hole placement through the slab.

Syrstone is questioning the response to

RFI 15where the trench drain

manufacturer requested pavers on top of

drains be mortared in place. Syrstone

suggested that mortaring some pavers

may affect the movement of the pavers

around it.

Clarified that the sand cement setting

bed is a typo. The setting bed has been

priced as sand. The sand cementis not

sturdier, and will weather more over time.

Sasaki to coordinate conduit feeds

up to kiosk

1.2.1. The gauge of the bolts in Submittal

13R3 is still not acceptable. DT 505 says

extra strong, - Sasakis intent was for a

higher gauge. MK asks that the supplier

has a phone call with the designer so they

can hash it out. BP says he will set up a

phone call.

MK requests that all of the required

resubmittals are submitted now so they

dont hold up the ordering any longer. BP

says another Selux submittal will be sent

today (13R4) which will address all of the

outstanding questions.

BP asks if individual photo cells are

necessary when the utility panel alreadyhas a photo cell installed. Sasaki asks that

an RFI is submitted, and a phone call is set

up with necessary parties to come to a

decision.

Kiosk Submittal #21Design team is

discussing options for conduit feeding into

the kiosk with the manufacturer.

DS concerned about grading on Tioga

the one inch line off of the drip is sticking
