Building Department with the Building Permit Application on September 2, 2015. MidPen received its first round of comments from the Building Department during the week of October 5th and planned to resubmit plans on November 11, 2015. The general contractor for Kottinger Gardens Phase 1 will be L&D Construction. Since 1979, L&D Construction has built more than 9,500 market-rate and affordable housing units and has been a trusted partner to MidPen. L&D Construction was selected through a competitive request for proposals process issued to five general contractors MidPen works with on a regular basis. Following a thorough plan review and bi-weekly coordination meetings with MidPen and Dahlin Group, L&D Construction developed a detailed construction schedule. In the middle of November, L&D will go out to bid to at least three subcontractors for each trade in order to make sure the project is getting the best and most complete bids possible. They will form the basis of the construction contract between MidPen and L&D to be executed prior to the construction financing closing in March 2016. Temporary Off-Site Resident Moves The Kottinger Place residents will be temporarily moved off-site for no more than twelve months to accommodate the Kottinger Gardens Phase 1 construction. MidPen's relocation specialist, Autotemp, developed the relocation plan to minimize disruption to the residents by shortening the amount of time they will need to live off-site and scheduling all moves before the major construction site work occurs. During the first month of construction, work on the site will primarily consist of hazardous materials abatement in the existing cottages. This work will be completed as buildings are vacated when residents are moved off-site. By the time the demolition work begins, all households will be moved to their temporary homes off-site. The temporary homes will be comparable to the home they currently have at Kottinger Place and will be secured by Autotemp. Assistance packing and moving belongings and setting up utilities will be provided during the move off-site and the move back. MidPen and Autotemp will be communicating regularly with residents, starting with a resident meeting on November 3rd. This meeting will be followed by individual household meetings in January. The construction schedule takes the temporary moves into account. The new cottages will be complete within the twelve month time period when residents are off-site. When the residents move back to Kottinger Gardens, all of the new cottages, landscaping and pathways, and the portion of the parking lot closest to Kottinger Drive will be complete. The two- and three-story building and the parking lot closest to Vineyard Avenue will still be under construction and will be protected with construction fencing. Much of the remaining work will be occurring inside the building at that point and will be complete five to six months later, at which point the Pleasanton Gardens residents will be moved to the new homes and the remaining new homes will be leased to new tenants. Many of the Task Force members may recall that the construction was always expected to occur in phases. This construction and temporary moves schedule minimizes the impact to the residents and is the shortest overall construction duration, having the added benefit of minimizing the impact to the surrounding neighbors on Kottinger Drive, Second Street, and Vineyard Avenue.
