A building-specific Construction Management Plan (CMP) will be developed for
each of the Exeter Residences and 888 Boylston taking the unique site context and
circumstances into account for each development. During construction, the
particular owner will work with the contractor to:
Maximize re-use and recycling of materials salvaged during site demolition. This
includes creating a process for segregation and transfer of construction waste
and recyclables, and includes participation with the Building Materials Resource
Center, donating suitable excess materials or non-recyclable materials where
possible.
Adhere to city construction standards and noise ordinance requirements of
7:00 AM to 6:00 PM for construction work hours.
Establish with the City and adjacent neighborhoods efficient truck routes that
minimize use of residential streets, and provide maps indicating truck routes to
all suppliers, contractors and sub-contractors.
Schedule deliveries for off-peak hours where feasible.
Post no-idling signs and enforce the no-idling law during the construction
period.
Work toward minimizing fugitive dust impacts by: requiring materials- and
debris-removal trucks to undergo wheel wash; spraying all aggregate piling and
excavated material at day’s and week’s end; and, scheduling regular mechanical
street sweeping (working with the City to provide appropriate definitions of
required thoroughfare proximity and standards).
Connect stationary noise-producing equipment (pumps, generators) to the
NSTAR grid, where feasible.
Offer incentives for workers who carpool or use public transit to work through
the Artery Business Committee's Transportation Management Association (ABC
TMA).
Evaluate employing measures such as: securing decking on roadways; adjusting
backup alarms on vehicles and equipment; keeping engine housing panels
closed; and, shutting off equipment that is not in use.
Provide for the proper storage and disposal of hazardous materials during
operations.
Build screening through the construction process to provide light shielding
which will improve the aesthetic environment for surrounding area users and
residents, where feasible.
