Storm Sewer
Meadows Four Project
On August 15, 1984, I checked the storm sewer on the Meadows Four project
and found no rock bedding under storm sewer. Also, the backfill was not
compacted; just pushed in on top of the pipe.
On August 16, 1984, I informed Harry with D & M Construction that pipe will
have 6" bed rock cushion or I would not accept it for the city. Harry
called Mike Huddleston on the radio and informed him of the situation. Mike
told Harry to keep placing pipe and would meet with me around noon to discuss
this matter.
I met with Mike Huddleston, Taylor Buckner, and Harry around noon and informed
all of them that the pipe placement was not acceptable due to rock bedding
not in place.
Taylor Buckner told me that the design engineer said to place on natural
ground except where water was encountered. This does not agree with the
Cross section in the plans.
I told Kevin Peiffer of my office of this situation on August 16, 1984,
and also that Mr. Daniels, project engineer, would contact him about this.
Taylor Buckner assured me that the engineer for this project would contact
Kevin.
