city of evanston 26-44 levy sr center trash enclosure.pdf

This is a project specification document for the City of Evanston, Illinois, detailing work at the Levy Senior Center located at 300 Dodge Avenue. The project involves the complete demolition and replacement of an existing wood trash enclosure, including removal of current wood screening, gates, posts, and hardware. The work scope encompasses selective removal and reuse of existing concrete post foundations, installation of new steel posts and welded steel gate assemblies, construction of new reinforced concrete foundations, and installation of a new aluminum screening system using Longboard Link & Lock aluminum battens. Additional components include gate hinges, tension rods, cane bolts, receiver sockets, locking hasps, gate stops, and miscellaneous steel hardware with protective finishes. The project requires excavation and restoration work, with all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and incidental work required to deliver a complete and fully operational trash enclosure.

The document specifies critical protection requirements for existing utilities and infrastructure. Fiber-optic conduit, an existing generator, and associated equipment adjacent to the work site must remain in service throughout the construction period and be protected from damage. The project requires contractors to maintain operational continuity of these existing systems while completing the enclosure replacement work.
