Manager Cofer stated a major problem had
occurred on the Alpine County project and
felt it should be brought before the Board.
He introuduced Joe McNeil of John Carollo
Engineers hired as the construction manager
and Bill Ettlich & Dave Pivetti of CWC-HDR,
the design engineers.
Joe McNeil explained the problem had oc-
curred because the safety of dam inspector
at the site had been bringing up things that
were not in the contract, specifically the
aggregate which had been used in the concrete.
Dave Pivetti explained the~ problem in more
detail using diagrams/maps for clarity and
responded to questions by Board members.
He stated there were three alternatives:
1) Replace all the pipe presently in place;
2) Totally encase all pipe and slip-line it
if it becomes a problem in the future;
3) Install pipe exactly as shown in the
drawings and test to see if the combin-
ation of aggregates is potentially del-
eterious.
Each alternative and the associated costs
were explained in detail.
The Division of Dam SafetY has the final
"say" as to which alternative will be
used. Dave Pivetti stated he would rec-
comend Alternative 3.
