The issues they have identified include the following: <br />1. The new 1997 Unifortn Building Code with Oregon Amendments was implemented <br />on Odober 1,1998. The Oregon Amendments were not available until two weeks <br />before they were implemented. There have been significant impacts on structural <br />calculations. <br />2. The second issue relates to the design parameters for the North Pad development. <br />0 3. The third issue relates to additional parameters prescribed by Altermatt <br />Associates, Inc. to improve vibration isolation between the building and the bus <br />mall. <br />4. The final element relates to the inability to reuse much of the original design for the <br />bus canopies because of changes. <br />I have attached Century West Engineering's letter to us with respect to the amount which they would like to <br />reoover forthe extra effort. Century West has regrettably raised this issue rather late in the process, but we <br />also recognize that their concems are legitimate. We would appreciate an opportunity to address their <br />request at the next team meeting. <br />Sincer , <br />eonard Lodder, A.I.A. <br />Architect <br />LL:as <br />Encl. <br />cc: John Whittington, Salem Area Mass Transit District <br />Craig Lewis, Melvin Mark Development Company <br />Mike Hayford, Century West Engineering Corp. <br />sszs.~ B <br />
