Re: Parks Improvement Project
Change Order NO.2 Update
Chuck
I returned to the office today around 2:00 p.m. and returned a phone call to the contractor M. H. Williams
to leam that the both the restroom facility and the tot lot pavilion at Torcaso Park failed the compaction
tests which were done by Universal Engineering Sciences prior to the concrete being poured for the
foundations. Universal proceeded with additional tests to discover that both building pads had muck below
the surface and although we do not have their report of findings it appears the muck is 6" to 36" in depth.
With this news we recommend that the City add an additional $ 8500 to the change order nO.2 revising the
current contract change from $ 209,282.16 to a new total of$ 2] 7,782. ]6.This recommendation comes
considering the following background:
I. Initially these two buildings were located on the south side of the pond but soils reports
showed muck to a depth of]8 feet which meant an expense of approximately $ 30,000 for pile
foundations.
2. We then had borings done on the north side of the lake, which showed some muck 6" to ]8"
and some areas with no muck.
3. We directed the contractor to move the buildings to the north side and provide test excavations
to identify areas with out muck for the new building locations.
4. This was done and the foundations were dug only to find that less than 24" away from the test
holes showing no muck, muck was discovered after the compaction tests failed.
5. It appears that this entire area was created several years ago with fill brought in over an
existing swamp area and there does not appear to be any area for the facilities without some
unsuitable soils being encountered.
6. In discussing the cost to de-muck with the contractor we feel fairly confident that $ 8500 will
cover the cost because these buildings are slightly smaller and there appears to be less muck
than the two similar buildings at Sunshine Park where we have a bid for de-mucking. In
addition we have a fixed equipment cost and a unit price for both muck removal and clean fill
that we will monitor to keep the cost to a minimum with $ 8,500 as a not to exceed cost.
We know this does not come as good news but feel these are amenities that will enhance the park for our
community an with little other options we recommend proceeding with the de-mucking upon confirmation
of the exten 0 the muc in the pending Universal Engineering Sciences report.
