~ parking structure for County. ' Leonard had two new options on the pazking structure layout, moving it back to the Chevron site. There is a gain of 14 spaces for a total of 379 spaces. The price per space ~vill go up from the $11,000 per stall as planned eazlier. General contractor needs to look at dra~ings to be able to estimate cost per stall and come up with efficiency rating on each option. The! location of the stairs a.nd elevators were also discussed. Code requirements and other factors (loss of prime office space or loss of potential high profile suites) impact the shifting of the pa~king structure away from Church Street and determine location of elevators and stairwells. ' We need to come up with a basic bid and then add any e~rtras, fancy finishes, etC. as areas that could be cut if need be. ' Curt asked the question about gates on the project. Leonard is working on those items. Contractor needs to figure in to the structural portion. Discussions continued on ~he security of the building in the evenings and using the gates to secure the perimeters from tr~spassers. We will work with a system that would allow you to exit if you are inside. The topic of removal of contaminated soils was discussed. The plan is to dig down 25 - 28 feet. The dirt will need to be hauled away and then brought back for fill. It is in our l~est interest to get rid of it. Contractor will figure how deep to go for footings. We still have th unknown on level of contaminated soil. Still have the possibility of when fill is brought bacl~ that in years ~ down the road the contamination if not remov ed would contmue movmg north. ;' Still working on negotiations with Chevron and the Statesman Journal on contaminated soils. ' DE-WATERING Dave has a concern regarding the numbers he is hea.ring on quantities of water fldwing through site. The city storm sewers could accept 100 gallon a minute, but if it iS at 100,000 gallons/minute, there is no way this would happen. With regard to the potential o~f water in the site, it does not have to do with rainwater, but the viscosity of the soil and watejr table level. Once you dig the hole, the soil is very granular and it opens to wash very quickly. ,' Contractor has to pla.n for either underslab drainage or waterproofing. The proc~ss is to keep water out of the building and allowing water to flow around building and throug~ soils. The water flow is not moving at a significant rate, only when there is a hole in the grourid. RG asked if you could still power wash the gazage? Leonard answered yes. ' The Marion County Courthouse parking structure across the street from our project seem~ to have no problems with water and stays pretty dry. ', The concern for Dave is that normally you do not design de-watering in this phase,; but it would help to know if there is a huge concern and to plan for it. Discussions revolveti around the construction of the Capitol Ma112 level parking structure about 7-8 years ago. Th~y didn't run ~ into problems on that structure, but did do some steps that turned out to be unnecess~.ry.
