This Change Order installed perforated drain lines in the student parking lot to alleviate ground water from coming up through the new asphalt and removed unsuitable soils in the existing bus loop at the rear of the building. Cost = $36,993. As we got into the extensive site development and grading in multiple locations on the WHHS campus last summer, we encountered numerous problems with underground water and poor soils. All of these conditions were unanticipated and concealed until construction was underway. In order to finish the project properly, we took immediate action to fix each problem.
