Site work and new construction of a fire / police facility in Thomaston, Georgia. Completed plans call for the construction of a 10,000-square-foot fire / police facility; and for site work for a fire / police facility.

A Bid Bond, Performance and Payment Bonds will be required. Work covered in this Section includes the surveying and field engineering required to complete the project and meet the provisions of this document. Contractor shall furnish all materials and labor for the installation and continuous maintenance of traffic control devices throughout the project. This item of work shall include furnishing, installing, maintaining, relocating and removing all traffic control devices used for the purpose of regulating, warning or directing traffic during the construction or maintenance of this project. Upon completion of work, warning devices are to be removed by the Contractor. If devices remain on site longer than ten (10) days after project completion, they shall be removed by the Owner and become his property. Site preparation will include the removal of any debris, concrete and asphalt pavement, existing structures, topsoil, trees and vegetation, and any soft/loose near-surface soils in the planned construction areas. All stripped materials and debris should be disposed offsite or in non-structural areas. We recommend that a practical topsoil stripping depth of six (6) inches be used for estimating purposes. In general, the on-site materials appear to be suitable for use as structural fill. Groundwater was not encountered at depths evaluated at the time of boring. Groundwater is not expected to be a concern in the structural areas of the site. Relatively soft or loose soils were encountered near the surface in borings B-2, B-5, B-9, B-13, B-16 and B-20 and generally extended to depths of up to about 6 feet. In general, if loose or soft soils are encountered in structural areas, the soils may need to be re-worked or undercut to a point 10 feet outside the perimeter or structural areas. We recommend using conventional shallow foundations for support of the proposed structure. An allowable soil bearing pressure of 2,500 psf may be used for design of shallow foundations bearing on competent existing soils or engineered fill. The concrete slab-on-grade floor for the proposed structures may be designed using a modulus of subgrade reaction of 100 pci for the soil types encountered at the site. As of October 2, this project will be awarded on October 6, 2020.
