This Item was discussed after Item 9.C.
Presentation and discussion by Holchemont, LTD, Contractor, and ERO Architects, Architect on the Precinct 2 Field Operations (Equipment and Maintenance) Facility, regarding the storage building concrete pad specifications failure (3000 PSI/28 days) and options available to the County if the failed concrete slab is not removed.
Mike Montalvo, Holchemont LTD, sought direction from the Court in either removing the pad now or allowing the pad to see if it will meet the specifications and lay another concrete pad next to it. Mr. Montalvo reminded the court that the cost issue will not be the County's responsibilty due to the concrete company being at fault. Judge Garcia asked if the concrete had been tested and Mr. Montalvo stated Millennium (MEG) did the testing. David Iglesias, ERO Architects, stated that the concrete slab, at its current PSI, could only be used for storage, if fenced, and not what it was intended for.
NO ACTION taken on this Item.
