I am working on a 2-building campus project where an ESC plan was implemented during excavations phase (bulk earthworks) of the whole campus. The first buildings construction will start now with a new contractor implementing the ESC measures for the site only surrounding this First building. Construction of the 2nd building is intended to only start at a much later stage, therefore there will be a large gap between the excavation phase and construction phase (a predication of possibly 1/2 years). Once a different contractor starts on the 2nd site he will implement the ESC measures during construction phase for the portion of that 2nd site.
Would the ESC plan measures have to be continually implemented during 2nd sites stand still? Who would be expected to implement that? And how would we submit that for LEED?

Meghan, it sounds to me like construction has essentially begun for the second building, and ESC mreasures are highly relevant during this period. I would think that the owner would want ESC measures to be continually implemented, and could put someone in charge of it. When the project is ready to begin construction and LEED documentation in earnest, relevant plans and documents can be handed off to the new contractor. Make sense?

Yes, this does makes sense. The excavation is the beginning of construction. We will advise the client it would be best that someone is put in charge of managing and ensuring the ESC measures are continually implemented on all sections of the site. Thank you for your response Tristan.
