o Introductory Phase Start of Construction: Contractor plans to tentatively begin construction on first 10 homes the week of May 22. Contractor anticipates opening two houses per day. Construction should be complete by June 8 or 9. o Phase 1 Architectural Surveys: As of April 26, 93 homes have been surveyed. Majority of homeowners whose homes were surveyed are very positive about the program and looking forward to installation of windows. Mary Knuckles, Project Manager, has met one -on -one with each homeowner and has spent approximately 45 to 60 minutes with each homeowner going over the program, answering questions and touring each home describing to each homeowner the sound insulation improvements they may receive. C. Kell -Smith provides a Spanish interpreter when requested. Of the 93, one withdrew because they did not want to remove their new DP windows and doors and would not have qualified for waiving only one item; one requested to be put into Phase 2. 7 homes (56 CNEL) need to be surveyed, 2 of which are have been sold, no known buyers yet; one home in 53 CNEL is up for sale with no known buyer. Our goal is to survey and draft plans for 100 homes; 5 of which would serve as alternates in case a homeowner has to drop out of Phase 1. Goal of project is to maintain 95 homes in Phase 1. o Next Scheduled Lottery for Phase II participants: City should anticipate advertising for the remaining eligible homes July 2006. Once we complete Phase 1 architectural surveys, we will have an idea of remaining slots. Selection of final qualified participants should be made by fall of 2006. • 56 CNEL — 215 Potential Eligible • 53, 54, 55 CNEL — 172 Potential Eligible "' Rentals have to be identified o Easement Issues • 5 homeowners withdrew due to easement issues • 10 homeowners withdrew due to installing new DP windows at their own expense; program only allows homeowner to waive one item • 1 homeowner withdrew because does not want work done on her home; she does not have a problem with airplane noise o Like - for -Like The program's replacement windows and doors must meet certain acoustical criteria and must therefore be of a specific type. The program policy calls for replacing like materials with like materials, where possible, unless egress codes or other constraints prevent. • Program tries to match configuration of existing windows; egress codes may prevent an existing double hung or slider match and be replaced with a casement window. Weight of windows due to thickness of glazing also prevents like- for -like configurations in the STC 35 windows. Homeowner is given option to waive existing item • Program matches existing decorative muntins • Program matches low "e" glass or tinting of glass • Program matches existing front door as close as possible • Pre - approved window manufacturers do not provide tilt -out features or multi - point lock mechanisms due to the weight of windows and the locking mechanism did not meet the forced entry codes.
