Subject: RE: Retaining Wall Block
Steve,
The city is agreeable to the use of the large block for all installation below grade.
We would like to apply the $7,000 credit to the cost of the additional work necessary around the bridge abutments. The
scope of work is to remove and replace the approach slabs on either side of the bridge, continue the block around in
front of the exposed piers and abutments, and backfill the void space behind the block and around the abutment with
the same structural backfill used in the wall construction.
If we can complete this scope within the available credit, then we would consider this a wash, and no change order will
be necessary.
Keith Marvin, P.E.

Gentlemen,
We are requesting to only use the 18”W X 12”L X 8”T unit in the first three courses below grade. In doing so, we would
create a credit back to the city in between$ 5-7000.00 dollars for this project. Our reasoning is that utilizing the more
expensive three piece system block below grade is neither productive nor cost effective.
Please respond at your earliest convenience.
Thank you,
Thanks,
James (Steve). Kenney
