Longview Public Safety Training Center

As of September 29, 2023 the project has not been awarded the timeline for the award has not yet been established Provide access to the new Longview Public Safety Training Center to include tree clearing, paving and utility installation. Question Deadline 09/07/2023 at 5:00 PM CT. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project includes the construction of Phase 1 of the new City of Longview Public Safety Training Facility on a vacant tract of land, located at 2212 S. Eastman Road, along the east side of Eastman Road and the south side of Van Street in the City of Longview, Texas. It is our understanding that the current project consists of the construction of a "burn" building and associated site paving. It is understood that the "burn" building may consist of either a CMU block building or concrete tilt-wall construction. A conventional slab-on-grade floor slab is the preferred floor slab for the first level (bottom floor). Site paving is planned to consist of reinforced Portland cement concrete (PCC) paving. Based on preliminary grading requirements provided by the Architect and visual observations of the existing topography, it is assumed that relatively minor site grading (cuts and fills of less than about one (1) to three (3) feet) will be required to achieve finished grade across the majority of the site. Isolated areas may require additional site grading to facilitate surface water drainage improvements and new construction. A general layout of the site is shown on the Plan of Borings, Figure 1. 2. PURPOSE AND SCOPE This investigation was designed to evaluate subsurface conditions at the project site and to develop engineering soil design parameters and recommendations to be used to guide design and construction of the proposed improvements. Our scope of services included: 1. obtaining samples of the subsurface soil formations and making groundwater observations within the limits of seven (7) exploratory borings for evaluation of general soil and groundwater conditions; 2. performing laboratory soil tests for soil classification of the subsurface soil strata; 3. providing recommendations for site paving and foundation support of the proposed structures including foundation type(s), depths, and allowable bearing capacity; 4. providing recommendations for slab-on-grade construction including stabilization techniques which may be used to minimize post-construction movement of the floor slabs and/or foundation elements; 5. providing recommendations for pavement subgrade preparation, including suitable fill materials, placement, and compaction; 6. providing recommendations for pavement subgrade treatment, including recommended dosage rates of stabilization additives and guideline specifications for subgrade treatment; 7. providing recommendations for compaction of earthwork including recommendations for suitable fill materials, placement, and compaction; and 8. discussion of potential construction problems
