7.3 Historic Theater Cinder Blocks Century West assisted Marion County in removal and storage of certain concrete masonry units (CMU) also known as cinder blocks, from the Beri Building. These cinder blocks were from the historic use of the property as a theater, and bore original cast member signatures, dates and play titles. The cinder blocks were removed by Davidson's Masonry at no charge to Marion County. Davidson's Masonry donated their work "as a way of saying thanks to Salem," from Darrell Evenson, President of Davidson's Masonry. Davidson's Masonry removed the cinder blocks, placed them on pallets and had them shrink wrapped. Marion County subsequently had the pallets moved to the Elsinore Theater for storage. 7.4 Tree Removal Tree removal on the block was scheduled last. All trees were cut down and the trunks and roots removed as much as was practical. One tree along Church Street was cut flush with the ground and the roots left intact. This tree was close enough to the street that removing the stump and roots could damage the roadway and curb. One tree stump, approximately four feet high, remains on the north side of the property. This remaining tree stump housed temporary electrical and phone service hookups used during the demolition process. 8.0 BASEMENT AND SHORING REMOVAL Century West was instructed by Marion County to develop a Scope of Work for the demolition and removal of the basement shoring fill, basement walls, basement floors and basement footings. Staton Construction provided costs to Marion County based on the specifications provided to them. Marion County requested additional clarifications prior to accepting the change order from Staton Construction for basement and shoring removal. Staton Construction provided the responses, and Marion County authorized Amendment #1 on August 21, 1997 to extend the completion date for Staton Construction to September 25, 1998 (Appendix M, Basement and Shoring Removal). The work involved the demolition and removal of the basement shoring fill, basement walls, basement floors and basement footings from all structures bounded by Court Street, Church Street, Chemeketa Street and High Street in Salem, Oregon. The following is the scope of work performed by Staton Construction: Work Sequence Activities shall be coordinated with the Owner or Owners Representative. General Requirements A.
