About this file
This document is a comprehensive geotechnical engineering report prepared by Geo-Hydro Engineers, Inc. for Earth Elements NM, LLC regarding the Little River Park project in Woodstock, Georgia, spanning three distinct zones: Linear Corridor, Woodlands Park, and Trickum Road Park. The project encompasses approximately 31 acres and includes multiple park features such as multi-use trails, pedestrian bridges, boardwalks, treehouses, viewing platforms, parking areas, disc golf course, dog park, and the conversion of existing single-family homes into office and maintenance buildings. The subsurface exploration was conducted through machine-drilled soil test borings and hand auger borings, with the goal of providing geotechnical recommendations for foundation design, site preparation, and construction methodologies.
The report recommends various foundation approaches based on site-specific conditions, including driven H-piles for the pedestrian bridge (with a design gravity load of approximately 100 kips), helical piers or drilled concrete piers for elevated boardwalks (with loads less than 20 kips), and conventional shallow foundations for building additions. The geotechnical analysis revealed residual soils typical of the Piedmont Region, with groundwater encountered at varying depths. Estimated construction challenges include potential rock excavation, variable soil conditions, and the need for careful site preparation. The recommendations include specific guidelines for structural fill, earth slopes, compaction requirements, and measures to mitigate potential issues such as settlement, erosion, and groundwater management.

SECTION 01 15 00 – CLIMATALOGICAL DATA
PART I - GENERAL
1.01 SUMMARY:
A. The Contractor agrees that said Work shall be executed regularly, diligently and uninterruptedly at such rate of progress as shall ensure full completion of the entire project and its many and separate components and subcontractors, vendors and suppliers, thereof within the time specified.
B. It is expressly understood and agreed that the Contractor has visited the site where the work of the Project is to be performed, has considered all contingencies and factors affecting the Contractor’s ability to perform all the Work within the time specified, including among others, delays caused by inclement weather (temperature and all forms of precipitation) and other possible delays caused by the climatological conditions prevailing in the general localities and recording stations of the City of Woodstock, Georgia.
C. After consideration of these factors, the Contractor has made allowances for such factors before determining and submitting the Bid and executing the Construction Agreement agreeing to the completion times and durations specified in the Contract Documents, and does, further, agree that all things considered, such completion durations are a reasonable time for completion of all Work to be performed hereunder, without the need for any extension of time or any other reasons than those specified below.
D. The Project’s completion time shall not be extended for normal inclement weather for the named locale. Inclement weather days (for temperature and all forms of precipitation) per month have been anticipated and included in the contractual time period given for project completion. The Contractor's written and documented request to the City of Woodstock, through the Owner’s Representative, for additional time may only be granted for actual days beyond those normally anticipated for the locale, per the schedule below, and only for which work was actually significantly impeded or precluded by the documented inclement weather.
January 4 Calendar Days
February 5 Calendar Days March 6 Calendar Days April 4 Calendar Days May 3 Calendar Days June 2 Calendar Days July 2 Calendar Days August 2 Calendar Days September 2 Calendar Days October 2 Calendar Days November 2 Calendar Days December 3 Calendar Days
E. The burden of proof and documentation for such request for additional time beyond the days indicated shall rest solely with the Contractor. Documentation must clearly show the additional weather days (for above normal inclement temperature and all forms of precipitation) are historically unique to the City of Woodstock, Georgia, area in general, and the Project’s site in particular.
F. Contractor shall submit all days considered to be “Inclement Weather Days” to the City of Woodstock through the Owner’s Representative each week for the week prior.
CLIMATALOGICAL DATA 01 15 00-2
Little River Park City of Woodstock
G. In the granting and approving of any additional time for completion of the Project, by a mutually agreed upon and properly executed Change Order, in no instance shall a change in Contract Sum be granted to the Contractor by the City of Woodstock for any adjustments to the Contract Time due to weather.
H. Requests for time extensions for delays due to inclement weather shall be reported by the
Contractor, and considered and evaluated on a quarterly basis, as determined by the Owner’s Representative, in consultation with the City of Woodstock. Only those actual days lost in excess of the cumulative allowable number of inclement weather calendar days, according to the schedule and data provided, will be considered. Time extensions for time losses due to weather conditions will be considered only for full complete calendar days.
I. No deduction or reduction in the contract time shall be made due to weather conditions of temperature and precipitation below or less than the anticipated or historical forecast.
J. Bidders shall review the climatological information as they solely deem necessary and draw their own individual conclusions for bidding and contracting purposes.
