The GFRWTP is the last piece of the puzzle and has been the most recent key project of emphasis for the City of Grand Forks. Once completed, the new GFRWTP will address aging infrastructure, heightened regulatory requirements, and the expansion limitations of the current WTP site. The new facility will use advanced treatment technologies to provide high quality water at an increased capacity with provisions for plant expansion on a long-term water infrastructure site.

4 3.0 CONSTRUCTION PERIOD IN REVIEW Major Tasks Worked On During Period Certified payrolls reviews and construction employee interviews. Observed and documented construction activities. Reviewed and coordinated Submittals, including: o Multiple AIS certification letters o Process Related Valves o Process Ductile Iron Pipe, Stainless Steel Pipe, and PVC Pipe o Process Pipe Accessories o Concrete Reinforcing and placement plans o Site Utilities Reviewed and coordinated RFIs, including: o Rectifying single unaccepted pile issue o Concrete floor finishes o Pipe encasement details o Multiple rebar clarifications and coordination Held two (2) construction progress meetings with Owner, Engineer, and Contractors to coordinate near term and overall construction schedule. Conducted quarterly on-site meeting with North Dakota Department of Health representative Held Concrete Pre-placement meeting with Engineer and Contractors. Construction Progress During Period Piling driving concluded on April 11. Work continues on cutting excess pile lengths and filling installed piles with concrete. As piles are filled with concrete, final locations are being surveyed for record drawing purposes. Concrete subcontractor has begun mobilizing to the site. A portion of the required under slab process piping has been delivered to and is currently stored onsite. The temporary onsite construction road has been extended around to the south side of the WTP for added access to excavation. The site for the construction trailers has been prepped and support gravel is being hauled in, placed, and compacted. Main Focus for Next Period Complete cutting and filling of piles. Begin installation of below grade plumbing and process pipe. Install temporary electrical service to construction trailer site. Complete construction trailer mobilization and set-up.
