Sandy Lake Gabion SubmittalKeith,
As promised here are the updated drawings for the gabion work around
the bridge at Sandy Lake Road. This submittal includes the following
sheets:
* 25-A Removal Plan – This sheet provides details of the
gabion work to be removed including the section of the wall that has
overturned at the SE corner. A table summarizing the removal quantity is
also included on the sheet.
* 25-B Gabion Repair and Modification Plan – This sheet
provides details for the revised gabion layout. We’re certainly open to
any suggestion that the sub-contractor may have to the design. We
* 25-C Grading Plan (North)
* 25-D Grading Plan (South)
* 25-E Gabion Details (updated)
We’ve also included a spec for Turf Reinforcement Mat for the SE
corner. Due to the flow conditions in this section we wanted to provide
the additional measure of reinforcement for the embankment.
As we have discussed, TNP would like to negotiate directly with Tiseo
(or their gabion sub) directly regarding the costs of these
improvements. I’m not sure of the best approach to contract for these
improvements but would like to visit with you soon about options. My
preference would be for us to negotiate/contract directly with the
gabion sub but that may not be the best scenario for the City. We’ll
continue to discuss best approach for contracting for these improvements
as we work thru the pricing/negotiations.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks
Chris Schmitt, P.E.
