Dear Dave,
Per our conversation on October 5th, I have created the attached addendum to the plan
set submitted for your review. This addendum is specifically intended to demonstrate
how the flow of staff and guest will be managed during the period between Phase I
completion and Phase 11 completion.
Attached Drawings:
AS1 — Phase 1 Completion South Elevation & Site Plan Flow
AS2 — Phase I Lower Floor Plan
AS3 — Phase 1 Main Floor Plan
Phasing Narratives:
Phase I will include all foundation work, structural steel, structural steel decking and
concrete slabs. The new aerial tramway (by Leitner-Poma) and gondola loading deck
will be completed for public use during this initial phase. The upper slab of the loading
deck will have radiant heat tubing installed into the concrete slab, but the boiler for heat
circulation will not be installed until Phase II. With the exception of the lower floor
electrical room, the grip bay building west of gridline C will be left unfinished with only
the foundation, steel, decking and concrete slabs completed. The lower floor electrical
room (shown on sheet AS2) will be dried in and completed per the submitted plan set to
house the required drive systems and electrical equipment needed to operate the new
tramway. Egress from the electrical room will be via two egress exists that will merge
under the gondola loading deck into a common pathway. The electrical room exit door
onto the finished lower level concrete slab will be directed by temporary wooden
guardrails to the above mentioned pathway. A temporary barrier wall at the main level
will restrict guest access into the uncompleted grip building west of gridline C.
Phase II will include the completion of the light gauge walls, siding, insulation, drywall,
roof assemblies, sprinkler system and all mechanical, plumbing and electrical

equipment. It will also include the closure wall under the south edge of the loading
deck. This phase will finish the grip bay, storage and office areas for occupancy.
During this phase the temporary roof will be removed from the electrical room and it will
become part of the interior finished space.
Please review and let me know if you have any questions or concerns on the attached
herein.
