INTRODUCTION

All -America City
2007-2012.2013
2017*2019
The purpose of this memorandum is to recommend that the City Council accept the
Bunker Hill Foundation Repair Project and approve the attached resolution.
:y_T@J 201:Tell]Z I R"
The project consists of a partial lower -level concrete masonry unit foundation wall
removal and replacement with a cast -in -place concrete footing and foundation wall,
lower -level window and door infilling, lower -level window and door replacement,
foundation excavation for waterproofing and drainage, backfill, site concrete sidewalk
and asphalt pavement, roof access stair removal, and construction of a stairwell
enclosure.
DISCUSSION
The Bunker Hill Foundation Repair Project was completed by Tricon General
Construction, Inc. in the final contract amount of $290,647.21. The original contract
amount was $284,000.00. The increase in cost of $6,647.21 is due to change orders
related to (1) repair deteriorated joints in limestone foundation wall either by
tuckpointing or concrete patching material for $2409.12, (2) unsuitable soils discovered
below the new foundation wall footing causing 12" undercut and replacement with a
thickened concrete footing for $1001.34 and (3) brick and stone foundation below the
utility chase and adjacent stoop in disrepair once uncovered and created a need for a
frost protected foundation below the utility chase for $2094.43.
Strand Associates Inc. is recommending acceptance of the project.
