April 3, 1995 ARCHITECT Commissioners' Court MICHAEL Kerr County NEAL Ken County Courthouse WALKER Kerrville, Texas 78028 Attn: The Honorable Glenn Holekamp Commissioner Precinct 3, Building Committee Chairman RE: Progress Report -Partial release of Construction Documents for Ken County Animal Shelter -Architect's Project: KCAS. Gentlemen: We aze submitting a package of Construction Documents to you for approval this date, which represents a Foundation Construction Set with enough Architectural reference drawings to be ready for submittal to the City for a Building Permit and the beginning of sitework. Later in the week we plan to submit completed Mechanical and Electrical Construction Documents, so that underground work may be meshed with the foundation and sitework. We will probably request a Commissioners Court Meeting on April 10, or later in that week, if that works better for the Court, to approve the next phase or issue of Contract Documents and updated Contract Amount. As I have pointed out, we aze experiencing numerous changes which affect our deadlines. Hopefully, those revisions will diminish and completed Construction Documents may be possible in about two weeks, barring further revisions. There aze still some items that need attention: 1. Messrs. Wheat and Huser will probably be able to provide the field work which is . needed to verify the incomplete information on the February 8 survey. 2. We aze still reseazching the kennel issue. The Contractor has included an amount in his Maximum, which at $12,000.00 is probably a little light. 3 . We will submit the enclosed plans to Texas Department of Health in Uvalde for their review. As you are aware, there are still a few things, like the wash-down and the layout of Euthanasia and Receiving that they questioned. Most of the issues with the City of Kerrville on their request that the County consider using non-potable wash-down water, and the sewer and potable water routing, have been resolved. 4. The large quantity of paving by the Owner in seal-coat or whatever, has been platted on the Site Plan; however, I would expect that we will have to assure the City and perhaps the State that all of this will be done to some standard. This shift in responsibility has enabled us to stay in budget. i;o; VESPER LANE KERRViLLE, TEXAS 78oz8 (uo) 895-ARCH 5. The Structural Documents reflect the Geotechnical Report; however, some adjustments are being made to facilitate the site conditions and the schedule, but nothing that would jeopardize the integrity of the structure. Unless the Court objects, Agra of San Antonio will be the Testing Laboratory for the Construction Phase, since they were the lab most familiar with the select fill which the Contractor found to use. Now that the Loading Area has been changed to resolve the sewer problem, much more fill will be required to raise the low area east of the building to accommodate the back-in wash-down. Please see the Drawings for illustration; however, this is not part of this Contractor's work. 6. County will pursue appliances, portable cages, and other special equipment, including the euthanasia chamber. Please forward special mechanical, electrical, and other requirements to us for inclusion in the project at the earliest possible date. 7. With the Contractor on board, we will refer you to the Contractor's Preliminary Schedule, with which we find no exception at this time.

Test as recommended. 3. In areas where the subgrade requires to be cut, scarify the subgrade to a depth of 8". compact the exposed scarified subgrade to dry density of at least 95% of the maximum dry density as determined by standazd Proctor compaction test method (ASTM D-698) at optimum moisture content (0 to +4%).

Provide electrical trenches for all electrical conduit and plumbing trenches for pluumbing lines below the slab thickness. Plumbing trenches shall not be within or below and parallel with the grade beam trenches. 8. Provide PVC sleeves centered over (around) any sewer, storm, PVC, and wrapped piping lines crossing grade beams for protection. Extend sleeves a[ least 6 inches past trench edges. 9.

Vapor barrier shall be continuous within and below slab azeas with,}oints lapped at least 12 inches and taped continuously with duct tape. Vapor barrier shall extend down the sides of the beam trenches and shall terminate so that it does not extend across the trench bottom. 03200 -Reinforcing Steel REINFORCING STEEL 1. Reinforcing steel shall comply with the requirements of ASTM A-615, grade 60. Welded wire mesh shall comply with the requirements of ASTM-a-485, flat sheets only.

Fabricate bent bars in accordance with ACI 315. 3. Provide clearance for concrete coverage around reinforcing steel in accordance with AC1318, except pro~ride 3 inches below beam reinforcement in earth formed grade beams and 2 inches of sides of earth formed grade beams. 4. 4-112" slab reinforcing shall be #3 @ 14 inches on center and shall be centered in concrete slab thickness. Extend slab reinforcing to top outside bar of perimeter beams. Start slab steel spacing not more than 6 inches from top inside beam bar. 5. Beam reinforcing shall be 2 - #6 top and bottom for perimeter beams and 2 - #6 top and bottom for interior beams unless noted otherwise with #3 stirrups at 24" on center. Provide "Z" bars (same size as beam reinforcing) where beam soffit steps down greater than 3". 6. Provide 2-corner bars (same as horizontal beam reinforcing) top and bottom of all beam corners and dead end beam intersections. 7. For exterior beams requiring depth exceeding 3'-0" due to grade conditions provide #3 bars continuous horizontal each beam face at 12" on center. 8. Review of the foundation construction by Beicker Engineering, Inc., the Architect, and the City Building Official is required prior to concrete placement.
