Mr. Gerald A. Newton December 18, 1995 Page 3 This would result in approximately 100 LF of joints sealed (caulked) without sawcutting, approximately 400 to 500 LF sealed (caulked) with sawcutting, and the remaining 500 to 600 LF sealed by application of a topcoat sealant. We will need to obtain NC Dam Safety's concurrence on the above approach to sealing a portion of the joints with the topcoat sealant. The estimated costs of this task is $17,500.00 based on the above approach. HDR strongly recommends that the County authorize UUDSi to begin work on Items I through 3 immediately, if possible for the following reasons: the above outlined work is essential to the County receiving a final permit from NC Dam Safety to operate the dam; the County will receive maximum benefit from the work if it is performed during cold weather when the cracks and joints are at their maximum width openings; and because UUDSI has personnel completing work in the vicinity, some cost savings may be realized by minimizing their mobilization costs, and avoiding a mobilization from their home offices in Tennessee or Florida. The estimated cost of work under Items I through 3 is approximately $34,000. A portion of this cost may be recovered from Blythe Construction when their contract is closed (Item I and possibly part or all of Item 3). The remainder of the work (at an estimated cost of approximately $30,000) will follow approval of NC Dam Safety as to the method proposed. We look forward to the opportunity to answer any questions and discuss the above proposal at your earliest convenience. Please call if you have any questions.
