• Continue with site prep, fills and grading on the South end of the project site to support the construction of the new parking lot area.
• Continue with excavation and prep for concrete foundations on the North end of the building footprint (Areas B&C).  Note this activity may require the use of a hammer drill at irregular intervals to break-up larger rocks/boulders and/or potential high spots of ledge that need to be taken down to support the foundation design.  
• The first concrete foundation crew to continue with the shallow footing & wall construction in Areas B&C of the building.   
• The second concrete foundation crew to continue with footing & wall construction of the retaining wall from the West to East end of the building footprint (Area B to C).
• Continue with back-fill operations within the building footprint on the West side of the building (Area B) working East (Area C).  Back-fill materials are currently onsite and will be transported within the project fence line to the appropriate work areas.  The use of vibratory compaction equipment will be used throughout this work activity.
