Bump_Taylor_Running_Track_Replacement_-_Geotechnical_Investigation_Report.pdf

This is a Geotechnical Investigation Report prepared for the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) in support of the Bump Taylor Track Resurface project located at Robert "Bump" Taylor Field in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. The project involves the full-depth removal of the existing running track and associated field event surfaces, with replacement by a new 8-lane 400-meter synthetic track surface. Additional work includes construction of a new discus area in the grass area behind the home bleachers and minor electrical and technology upgrades including PA system enhancements, data drops for wireless access points, and Huddle Camera installation. The pre-bid site walk is scheduled for Thursday, January 15, 2026 at 10:00 AM, with all questions due by Monday, January 19, 2026 at 2:00 PM and responses provided by Thursday, January 22, 2026 at 2:00 PM.
