Explanation
§ This change order allows for the installation of five bridge deck blockouts that will allow for the tower crane structures required to build the Terminal Lobby Expansion and a pedestrian canopy.
§ These blockouts are required for the cranes that will hoist building components during the Terminal Lobby Expansion project, which has a planned starting date in the fall of 2019.
§ Installing these blockouts before the bridge deck is poured will prevent significant modifications and the reworking of the bridge deck at the time of tower crane installation.
§ This change order allows the installation of a pedestrian canopy for the upper level private vehicle sidewalk.
§ This canopy will provide a more aesthetic solution that can also be utilized through the Terminal Lobby Expansion.
