'r e Dear Mr. Rozansky: At the direction of the City Commission on October 14, 1985, we subcontracted the services of Tinklepaugh Surveying to verify elevations along the driveway pavement on the east side of the building. We found that storm inlet "A" to the south has a grate elevation of 44.09 and that the plans show an elevation of 44.00. We also found that for storm inlet "B", the elevation in the field was actually 44.04 and the plans called for an elevation of 44.07. The pavement elevations along this area are also in compliance with the intent of the drawings. The break point elevation shown on the drawings is 44.38. The survey indicated that the break point was at 44.42. Based on the information provided to our office by Tinklepaugh Surveying, we would concur with the architect that the contractor has constructed the pavement to the elevations as shown on the drawings, and is in substantial compliance with those same drawings. If you have any questions concerning the above, please call our office. Sincerely, C~~KLINd' ~ORTER '&1 HOLMES-ENGINEERS, INC. ~va- .' ~u~~ Terry M. Zaudtke, P.

Remove the defective portion of the drive and haul away the debris as I recommended in my October 10, 1985 letter. It would help me out if the City would grass the affected area. 2. Remove the defective portion of the drive and rebuild it using a soil-cement base with asphalt topping as recommended by Glace & Radcliffe, Engineers. This should provide a strong, lasting driveway. I hesitate to say the number of years it will last for the reasons in my letter of October 10, 1985. It would help me out if the City would repair the grassed areas which would be damaged during construction. LeCesse hasn't provided me with a price for the above work yet, since the City is not paying, it doesn't make any difference, does it? Enclosed please find a newspaper article indicating other municipalities are also experiencing problems because of the high water table. Sincerely, e 1460 W.

Fairbanks Avenue Winter Park, Florida 32789-4891 Re: Municipal Facilities Complex Winter Springs, Florida Dear Sir: I have a copy of a letter dated September 30, 1985 which you directed to Mr. Richard Rozansky, City Manager for the City of Winter Springs, in which you refer to "a problem with the paving in the East driveway ." and in which you recommend that no further payments be made (to LeCesse) on this project. Mr. Hampton, I have the following comments on your letter to the City Manager: 1. The "problem" with the paving is that it has been damaged by a raised water table brought on by the unexpected heavy rains as referenced in your letter and aggravated by the lack of positive drainage from the Municipal Facility site. (The water level in the retention area is 2 to 3 feet above the invert elevations of all the storm water inlets in the pavement and the relief drain to the D.O.T. swale off-property). 2. Saturation of the limestone base at the East end of the property has deteriorat~d this material. It will no longer support traffic. The broken pavement that is apparent is the result of automo- biles being directed to the rear parking lot during opening day activities, before that area was barri- caded. If the barricades are removed , it is my opinion that the entire East drive will also break up. CONSTAUCTION · DEVELOPMENT · CONSTAUCTJON MANAGEMENT .. ~"" Mr. Donald R. Hampton October 3, 1985 e Page 2 These things are not in any way a result of defects in either workmanship or materials. (Both were performing satis- factorily prior to the raised water table condition.) Consequently I take exception to your advising the City to hold up our progress payment for August work and call your attention to the interest provision of the contract which will be applied to the unpaid request. In your letter your scheduled a meeting for October 3, 1985 and subsequently cancelled that meeting. We are most anxious to co-operate in any resolution to the problem that does not penalize us for having completed the work in accordance with the plans and specifications or which erodes the excellent relationship we have had with the City of Winter Springs. I urge you to recommend to the City that our request for payment be approved and paid promptly, without further delay. e Very truly yours, LeCESSE CORPORATION OF FLORIDA ~;t~ Ralph L.

The problem became apparent the afternoon of the dedication. To date I am holding a draw request pending some positive action by the Architect, Engineer, and/or the Contractor. I also instructed our Consulting Engineer to review the matter and report back to me. . At a meeting on Friday, September 27, 1985, I informed the Architect and Contractor that before I released a requested draw (by Contractor) and recommended payment (by Architect) I wanted the Architect and his Engineer to certify that the construction was completed in accordance with the plans and specifications. The meeting participants were not happy but I refused to abandon my position. Our Attorney did not make the meeting and I felt that was the proper position to take. Later he agreed and prepared a letter for me to forward to the Architect to sign. In response to this letter the Architect recommended I not pay the bill. The Architect then requested a meeting be held on October 3, 1985. He subsequently cancelled that meeting and is to provide information regarding, I hope, corrective action. Of course the Contractor is not happy and some subcontractors are demanding payment. However, we intend to resolve the issue of whether or not the complex was constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications, liability for the problem, and remedia ction to b aken. I will keep you apprised of RR/mn . FORM 4 MEMO'RANDUM OF VOTING CONFLICT THE BOARD, COUNCIL, COMMISSION.

On September 25, 1985, we talked with Peter Cowell in your office who gave us the detailed facts and suggested we contact Mr. Walt Dittmer. Since a survey of the desired area is necessary prior to proceeding further, we contacted your engineer, Terry Zaudtke, who stated he did not have one but would help us in securing one. We contacted Mr. Dittmer who stated that he would have a survey done and also recommended that we contact Dominic Cavone of Land Cavone. By September 30, 1985, both parties had been contacted by both Terry and myself. Each part assured that they would proceed on securing a survey. e At this time, we have not heard from them. I again contacted Mr. Cavone on October 10, 1985, he stated he did not have a specific survey, but would be pleased to help us.

Greenwood PUD Plan Review - Inf ast~~~~\Q'rt'~ CPH Job No. W0402. 00 COMPLETEO ON: Dear Mr. Cowell: We have reviewed the Engineer's responses to our comments addressed earlier in our letter of August 5. 1985. The Engineer has answered most of our questions. however. a couple of questions still remain unresolved. Under Item C. Drainage. the soils consultant has recomme~ded that the compensating storage pond be moved to a new location which is not affected by the rapid infiltration basin system of the effluent disposal site. A new location will have to be submitted to this office prior to approval. It is also noted that we have not received the verification from Florida Power that this compensating storage area could be located in the Florida Power easement. Since the basin may have to be moved in accordance with the soil consultant's recommendation, this item may no longer be needed. The final item that still needs resolution is the underdrain system. Earlier this week. this office had a conversation with the local office of DER. the Stormwater Permitting Section. It is our understanding that they permitted an underdrain system which is a mix of 75~ coarse material and 25~ sand. The local office did not give its full blessing to this underdrain system. There is a stipulation that is unwritten, however has been communicated to the engineer. that should the system not meet the quality standards of the State of Florida. the system would have to be reconstructed of the 24- of filter material in accordance with FDER regulations. Typically. it is the local office's ruling that this 24M of filter material means sand. However. they were directed by the State Office to allow the 25~ and 75~ mixture previously mentioned. The City should not assume responsibility for quality control of this underdrain system based on this design. We do not. at this point, know what recourse the City has. but the City certainly does not want to bear the expense of having to redo this system five years down the road when the developer is no longer on the site. We also do not know how the State would determine whether the system is meeting its water quality standards or not. We would, therefore. advise that the plans be approved with this exception. and that the City do whatever it can within its power to holding the developer responsible for this last item. · '" . . ..

Based on our evaluation, the Engineer utilized only the 6M of sand in their permeability calculations for determining the overall length of the underdrains. The porosity of the two unmixed materials is greater than the porosity of the two mixed materials. The voids within the mixed material become less than if the two materials were separated. Therefore, since the voids are decreased. there would be a decreased amount of capacity or an increased travel time for the water to reach the underdrains. We therefore believe that the underdrain system should be redesigned. If you have any questions about the above. please call our office. Sincerely.
