Summary:
Mountain View Los Altos High School District is requesting Change Order #7B with Robert A. Bothman Construction be ratified.
- Provide labor, equipment, and materials to sub-excavate the entirety of the campus in between all buildings, and under the canopy around the canopy footings so that the soil doesn’t structurally undermine the canopy footings. This work includes removing additional 18” of native soil or until there is solid subgrade. Removing dirt contaminated base rock, off hauling all unsuitable soil, test and import with clean rock and soil, recompact and retest all areas per the diagram shown on potential change order #125. This is due to the geotechnical engineers testing the site conditions prior to commencement of subgrade preparation for the concrete and asphalt sitework and around the canopy footings and deeming the conditions of the soil unsuitable. The conditions were not suitable for subgrade work due to previous years, last years and this year’s severe wet weather and soil saturation.
- Provide labor and materials to install a new curb around the basement entry. The basement entry is to be raised to new finished grade per the plans but will need an added concrete curb to properly raise and adjust the basement entry. In addition, this curb will mitigate any potential code issues and safety concerns because if the contractor were to just raise the basement door per the current site conditions, there would be a substantial 18” first step into the basement (max step height per code is 7-1/2”).
- Provide labor, materials, and equipment to form, rebar, pour the concrete curb which goes around the perimeter of the added planters in front of the canopy entry. The reason for this work is to create a separation between the parking lot and the canopy to redirect traffic away from the building and pedestrian right of way.
- Provide labor to completely remove the basement door and at the basement entry and reinstall in place. This is related to potential change order #126, work directive #112 for the installation of the curb at the basement entry due to new grade and code requirements. Bothman had not taken into account that the door would need to be completely removed to facilitate the new curb installation and then reinstalled to prior working and acceptable conditions.
