Construction Activities Completed This Month Construction activity in May advanced across the building interior, exterior envelope, roof areas, playground, bocce court, and site improvements. Interior work continued to move from rough-in and close-in activities into finish installation and systems coordination. Work included ceiling systems, lighting, MEP trim, fire sprinkler trim, casework, lockers, restroom finishes, kitchen and café equipment, doors and hardware, wood grille ceilings, window shades, signage, low-voltage and AV coordination, and elevator-related work. First-floor work included continued ceiling installation, polished concrete activities, casework and locker installation, restroom fixture and accessory work, kitchen and café buildout, precast stair and landing work, and related finish sequencing. Second-floor work included wood grille ceilings, ceiling tile, MEP fixture installation, operable partition coordination, AV and low-voltage coordination, flooring preparation, casework, and continued finish work within the Events Center and adjacent spaces. Exterior work continued with UHPC, phenolic, and ACM panel systems, exterior painting, storefront and curtain wall coordination, canopy-related work, caulking, exterior trim, and remaining envelope detailing. Canopy work remained an active coordination item due to field measurements, exposed conditions, bracket detailing, painting, and related interface work. Roof work included continued low roof flashing, PV electrical work, MEP connections to rooftop equipment, mechanical system coordination, and remaining roof system completion activities. High roof PV work had advanced substantially, with remaining coordination focused on system connections, completion, and startup readiness. Sitework progressed with soil amendments and topsoil, irrigation and drip systems, booster pump coordination, site concrete, site lighting and electrical work, trash enclosure work, playground surfacing, and parking lot preparation. Bocce court work remained affected by water intrusion and storm drain conditions, with additional direction provided late in the month to allow replacement work to proceed on a T&M basis. Schedule and Critical Path Status BHM submitted Schedule Update No. 18 in May with an April 30, 2026, data date. The update reports the current project completion date of August 6, 2026, compared to the July 17, 2026 completion date days from the prior update and twenty-four calendar days from the baseline completion date. BHM attributes the reported schedule movement to differing site conditions and issued change orders affecting activities. The current critical path runs through first-floor west and second-floor east interior finishes, followed by MEP startup, fire alarm inspection, fire sprinkler inspection and testing, Fire Marshal sign-off, substantial completion, punch list, commissioning, training and demonstration, and project completion. The two specific impacts identified in Schedule Update No. 18 are RFI #421, related to water intrusion at the bocce court, and Change Order #126, related to polished concrete revisions. BHM states that the polished concrete revisions affect downstream startup and finish sequencing because the additional grinding work generates dust and must be completed before HVAC startup can proceed. BHM also states that this affects the wood flooring sequence because the flooring requires delivery, acclimation in a conditioned space, and installation before related finish activities can be completed. Permanent power was provided on May 8, 2026. This closed a major utility coordination milestone and shifted the schedule focus to equipment startup, lighting controls, HVAC startup, programming, commissioning, elevator completion, fire alarm and fire sprinkler testing, and final inspection readiness. Initial testing of room lighting began during the month; however, broader equipment startup had not yet commenced by the end of May.

IT room turnover was not yet complete by the end of May, but coordination with City IT remained active. BHM, Griffin, and City IT continued coordinating room readiness, fiber, IP programming, network requirements, and related system integration needs. This coordination remains important for AV systems, elevator communications, controls, programming, commissioning, and final turnover activities. Griffin Structures is anticipating BHM Schedule Update No. 19 through May 2026 and has scheduled a meeting with City project management team and the contractor in early June to review remaining activities and the pending schedule update. Inspection & Quality Control Building Department inspection activity in May supported continued close-in, ceiling, electrical, and sitework progress. Inspections included above-grid T-bar reviews, electrical subpanel reviews, and foundation forms and steel reviews for remaining concrete work. Several inspections were performed in phases as areas became available and as work advanced through close-in and finish sequencing. Follow-up inspection activity continued through the end of the month, including above-grid T-bar inspections on May 28 and May 29. Special inspection activity by Apex Testing Laboratories continued in support of site concrete, paving, ceiling, structural steel, and fireproofing work. Apex inspections included concrete placement and sampling for pedestrian pathways, terraces, and event parking lot work; reinforcing steel inspection for vehicular paving, pedestrian walkway, and parking paving; torque testing for ceiling hanger wire anchorage; shop welding inspection for structural steel components; steel material identification; and fireproofing patching observations at roof and second-floor areas. ceiling close-in, exterior steel and canopy coordination, and final building finish sequencing. Fireproofing patching observations were completed during the month, concrete sampling continued for remaining exterior flatwork and event lot areas, and torque testing supported above-grid ceiling installation. These inspections support continued progress toward ceiling close-in, MEP trim, sitework completion, and final inspection readiness. Coordination with San Mateo Consolidated Fire Department remains important as the project advances toward life-safety testing and occupancy-related approvals. The project team continues to track the sequence for fire alarm testing, fire sprinkler testing, Fire Marshal sign-off, Temporary Certificate of Occupancy readiness, and final occupancy. Architect/Engineer observation and issue tracking continued during the month. Group 4 observation reports were issued, and a meeting was held to review and resolve open items. BHM is continuing to provide responses and updates on pending observation items as work proceeds. Water testing for the building envelope remained pending additional finish readiness, including completion of ACM panels and additional sealant work at curtain walls and storefronts. Construction Activities Planned Next Month Planned June work includes continued interior finishes, completion of polished concrete activities, MEP trim, lighting and controls testing, system startup, exterior panel completion, canopy work, roof and PV completion, sitework, playground completion, parking lot resurfacing and striping, bocce court work, and continued turnover coordination. Interior work is expected to include ceiling tile and wood grille ceiling completion, MEP fixture installation, lighting, casework, doors and hardware, flooring, wall pads, signage, restroom accessories, kitchen equipment hook-up, elevator-related work, operable partition coordination, AV and low-voltage installation, and final finish work. Exterior and site work is expected to include continued UHPC, phenolic, and ACM panel installation, FOSTER CITY COMMUNITY CENTER REBUILD PROJECTCONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT MONTHLY REPORT (CIP 301-678)

exterior painting, canopy-related work, PV and low roof system completion, irrigation; planting, site furnishings, flatwork, playground surface testing, trash enclosure work, utility yard and patio fencing, bocce court flatwork, and bocce court turf coordination. June coordination will focus heavily on the transition from permanent power to full equipment startup and commissioning. Key activities include HVAC startup, building system programming, lighting controls testing, fire alarm and fire sprinkler testing, elevator coordination, commissioning, and final life-safety inspection milestones. The team will also continue coordinating with City IT regarding telecom room turnover, fiber installation, IP programming, network readiness, and integration of building systems. Parking lot resurfacing and restriping work is also planned for June. BHM has indicated that paving and striping are planned for June 8 through June 15, with signage placed in advance to notify the community that parking will be impacted. Griffin will continue coordinating with the City and BHM on access, fencing, public notification, parking impacts, and logistics. Key Challenges The primary schedule challenge is the continued shift of completion-related activities into July and the current delay to impacts affecting critical sitework, interior trim, and finish activities. With permanent -term success depends on how efficiently the remaining finish, startup, inspection, commissioning, and turnover activities can be advanced. Polished concrete remains an important sequencing item because BHM has linked the additional polishing and grinding work to HVAC startup and flooring sequence impacts. Completion of this work is important to establish appropriate interior conditions for follow-on flooring, startup, and final finish activities. Bocce court work remains a separate schedule and cost concern due to water intrusion near the waterfall edge and related storm drain replacement work. The City provided T&M direction, allowing the storm drain replacement work to proceed while final quantities, backup, and costs are tracked and reconciled. This work will need to be coordinated with remaining hardscape, bocce court turf, shade structure, and site turnover sequencing. City IT coordination remains important because IT room turnover, fiber landing, IP programming, and related network readiness are tied to multiple downstream systems. Continued phased inspection coordination is also important as the project advances through ceiling close-in, electrical startup, MEP trim, low voltage, finishes, and final life-safety readiness.
