Group,

The information is the same for 3/16. It isn't forcast to go above the 32 F mark until 12 noon today

This is the NOAA Weather Forecast (Nation Weather Service) for Newark Liberty Airport

The crew will be returning on Wednesday 3/17/21.

Due to the large open areas and potentially high wind chill factor at EWR/ConRac,
Nicholson Corp. submit the following Cold Weather Plan/ Criteria for our Masonry Scope
through the Winter of 2020-2021 which may (potentially) affect the performance of Masonry
materials, productivity and workmanship of the Craftsmen on-site.

Cold Weather Requirements;
Ambient Temps (In Degrees- F)

Above 40 F

No Special requirements needed

32 F to 40 F

Sand & Water Must be heated for Mortar/ Grout temps of 40 F
to 120F at time of Mixing

25 F to 32 F

Sand & Water Must be heated for Mortar/ Grout temps of 40 F
to 120F at time of Mixing. Mortar must be kept above freezing
and keep
Grout temps above 70 F at the time of mixing and placement

End of weather plan statement..

Now, we cannot heat the water and grout to get to 70 F. That means we cannot lay block.

HOWEVER, we do have to get to a couple items.

• The switch gear room has to be caulked
• The switch gear room has to be fire sprayed (going to heat the room)
• There is clean up and set up for laborers
• We need a half-million block cut for rebar

I want the laborers to come in (all laborers) and the following masons: Frank Parisi (fire spraying), Dan Wall (caulking) and Andrew Spooner (mason saw)


I will not cancel Tuesday work yet, sometimes this weather is fluent and it may warm up.

Please text me back that you got this message.

Geo, this is the information I wanted you to see...

Here is the new thing: Parking on the road next to the site has been pulled and anyone parking there will be towed.

What we are doing: For Monday, we will be meeting in the IKEA parking lot. Nicholson has a van with multiple rows of seats and they are having Cody pick it up for Monday.

ALL OF YOU MUST BE THERE ON TIME (6:20AM - LEAVING 6:30AM) for the first day. They have made it very clear that Cody is not allowed to do multiple pickups.

You can reach out to me with questions about the location if need be, but we hope you will park half way between IKEA and the Floor & Decor Building.
The IKEA is 2.8 miles from the job.

IKEA
1000 Ikea Drive
Elizabeth, NJ 07201

If you click on the above link, at Google Maps page will open.

Here is a satellite image of the parking lot..

This is a short term solution. I do not know what is going to happen beyond Monday. There is discussion about picking a lot adjacent to the job that would be at a discount, but the fee would not be paid by Nicholson, but by employees. I am not certain of any of this at the moment so one step at a time.
