1.5 - Government Furnished Materials Government shall provide, if available, design data if requested by the Contractor for the purpose of fulfilling the requirements of these specifications.

2.0 - General

2.1 – Background The east concrete slab of the shop floor has shifted to the point of creating hazardous walkway. The slab has a vault with stairs that is designed to function as a mechanic service walkway. This vault has shifted to the point it may affect stability. The outside walkways have deteriorated due to insufficient drainage and water damage. There is also a section that has heaved outside the main door which limits the door from opening fully.

2.2 – Purpose The east foundation slab in the shop has lifted and cracked around the concrete vault/vehicle maintenance pit in the middle of the slab. It appears that freeze-thaw from moisture under the slab is the cause of the lifting. The issue at the shop slab appears to be indicative of a wider drainage issue in the area of the Alamosa shop building. The Alamosa office and shop building area appears to be at a lower elevation than the surrounding land, which causes runoff to flow to and pond at various spots on the property.

2.3 - Scope The concrete slab on the east side of the Alamosa shop building needs to be removed and replaced. The concrete slab covers approximately 800-ft2. The walls of the vault in the middle of the slab shall be removed a minimum of 18-inches below the bottom of the new concrete slab. The vault shall be filled with engineered fill material and compacted in 6-inch lift to a 95% dry density. ½-inch fibre expansion joint shall be placed between new concrete placements and the existing concrete. Concrete joints shall be filled with self-leveling polyurethane sealant. The vault dimensions are 26.25 ft. long x 3.4 ft. wide x 5.2 ft. deep (464 ft3). Also recommended is to improve the overall drainage scheme of the paved areas around the shop building. This will include removing the drain at the disused wash bay and paving it over so that runoff flows away from high traffic areas where it could otherwise freeze over and become a hazard. There are existing drains in the gravel parking lot area that the new drainage scheme can flow to. The heaving area outside the north entrance of the shop will need to be removed and replaced. The perimeter sidewalks will need to be repaired or replaced along with deteriorating sidewalk aprons.

The following Photographs are provided for as reference only.
