06/2021 - FLETCHER: On the morning of Monday, June 28th the Site Contractor will begin fence installation around the perimeter of the project site. You can expect to see mobilization of construction equipment and machinery that same morning as the contractor plans to start select site demo and staging area build-outs shortly after.
The following week after the holiday, Tuesday July 6th the General trades Contractor will begin stripping topsoil at the addition areas, surveying/layout of foundations, and begin foundation excavation on or around July 12th and flow right into footers/foundations/concrete work.
The site is going to become very busy in a few weeks so the community can expect to see a lot of construction activity and construction vehicles coming and going from the site.06/2021 - MULLEN: Both temporary classrooms are in transit and are expected by the end of the weekend, June 6.
06/2021 - RIVERVIEW: The first of two temporary classrooms will arrive as early as today. The other is expected by the end of the weekend, June 6.
05/2021 - MULLEN: The first temporary classroom has shipped from the manufacturing facility. It will arrive at Mullen School on Thursday, June 3. It will take 2-3 weeks for the connections, cleaning, and installation process to take place. This puts us on pace to have some teachers/staff in these rooms setting up or unpacking before the end of the school year, if we remain on this schedule.
