Weekend/holiday work possible with approval. **3. Site Access & Restrictions** * **Traffic Control:** Maintain at least one open lane of traffic in public access areas if needed. * **Site Access:** Generally straightforward, with access to buildings/server rooms requiring coordination. * **Environmental Considerations:** Bird nesting is a critical concern influencing the start date. * **Existing Utilities:** Careful avoidance and potential relocation of existing utilities. **4.
