Permits 2020

[danlb_2000]

A few notes about the purpose of this thread...

Despite the name, this thread actually lists Notices of Commencement (NOCs) for construction projects around the WDW property. A NOC is a document that must be filed before work on a specific project can begin and is usually filed shortly before work starts. It's main purpose is to assure that contractors get paid on time once the work is complete. NOCs will sometimes have an explicit expiration date, but most of the time a date is not specified in which case they expire one year from the filing date.

The documents generally don't contain much information. They will list the location where the work is being done, for example the name of a ride or store. They also show a description of the work being done which is normally very vague, for example "Electrical" or "Construction". Some of the NOCs I post will just say "BVCC". This stands for Buena Vista Construction Company which is Disney's internal construction company. The work description on BVCC permits is almost always the very vague "Provide labor, material and/or electrical for construction".

Unlike previous years, I have stopped posting every permit since most do not contain any useful information. When I do find interesting permits I will post them here and will usually post them in the applicable thread.

The post will contain permits from the South Florida Water Management District. These are filed whenever a project will effect storm water control in some way, for example creating new hard surfaces like building or roads where there were not hard surfaces before. These permits are not as common but are normally for larger project and contain much more detail them the NOCs.

Any permits seen for construction on the MSUSA parking lot? Rumor in the Poppins thread is that something is stirring. Maybe the theater is back on? Or just a utility shed. @danlb_2000

Someone followed up in that thread saying it was a structure put up for a cast event.

Dan @danlb_2000, How do you figure out what the addresses go to? Like how do you know that 365 Cypress is Rise of the Resistance? Just curious, thank you!

I used to keep a spreadsheet of addresses that had been accumulated over the years by myself and past permit coordinators, but recently someone pointed out the official RCID address database which makes things much easier...

There was one permit filed today...

3/16/2020 - Epcot - Buena Vista Construction Company
1780 Avenue of the Stars (Japan) - Provide labor, material and/or electrical for construction

 

[danlb_2000]

Despite the construction shut down there were a couple interesting permits today all of them a little cryptic. I could not find this address on the RCID site, but Voyage of the Little Mermaid is 1320. Not sure what this is.

A google search of the address turns up inspection reports for a CM QS dining location called Backstage Bistro.

The RCID site lists that at 1359 Monorail Way, no where near Fantasyland. That location does make sense since I can't think of anything on stage near Fantasyland that would be getting interior demolition. I found another inspection report with the address as 3111 World Dr.

Maybe Mermaid's queue was given a separate address for this project? Because last month its roof was leaking everywhere, so, it wouldn't surprise me if it was being gutted to fix it.
