930 0.151

Module Transportation - 3 mods delivered to site during day, for installation after 3 previous mods brought on Friday and stored on site

over weekend. One mod stored at corner of Dean and 6th overnight because of need to fix gasket, according to Skanska who felt it was OK

to store there because there was no event going on at the arena where the loadout would be inhibited by the mod on a flatbed. Was stored

there to be out of the way of the other mods brought overnight.

Module Installation - 5 mods installed on 6th Floor bringing total installed on 6th floor to 23 out of 36. Mod completion inches up to

15.1% from 14.5%; 140 of 930 installed in 132 work days = an avg. of 1.1 mods per day.

Module Fabrication - Ongoing at Navy Yard, presumably, working on 9th floor mods with a workforce in the high 140's.

Additional New Observations: Joined by STV's Phil Taylor and Phil Amicone for tour of roof, 4th and 5th floors of building for

preliminary safety inspection.

Previous observations: Front façade is 33-35' from the ped walkway. Flatbush façade is 12' from the edge of the sidewalk shed. Height

exceeds 2 X the distance between the building and the ped crosswalk at Flatbush across Dean.

At Navy Yard Wed., 10/16, FCR stated that first mods would arrive on site in late December/early January and that there would be a backlog

of 30-40 (1-2 floors worth) to 80 (3 floors worth) mods completed at that time which it was felt would be sufficient for production to keep

ahead of erection so there would be no downtime during mod erection at the B2 site.

upper or inner layer of wal board in ceiling/wall. Cited leak day on 6/13, after e.c's most recent site visit, when subsequent leak damage is

not that evident.
