I did a quick sketch to help (I hope) visualize whats going on with the sea wall and what both Contractors are proposing. The First part of both bids are relatively the same. Remove old sheet piling, pound new sheet piling into the lake floor a few inches out from the old concrete and pour new concrete. This is meant to help hold back the base of existing sea wall. This step will help hold and buy some time, and I would say that both contractors would be in the $30,000.00 range to complete this job. Step 2 . This is where Pilings Plus would drill 29 manta rays approximately every 5 foot along the sea wall on an angle down to further reinforce the sea wall. I've enclosed a youtube video link, so you can understand what a manta ray is and does. Step 3. Drill 18 weep holes approximately every 8 foot along the sea wall with well points to allow water to drain out but not the soil. As the tide rises the water from the lake actually flows behind the sea wall and the water in the ground will rise with the tides. When the tide goes out the water is trapped behind the sea wall causing hydrostatic pressure trying to get out. The weep holes allow it to go out reducing hydrostatic pressure. EFTA00833508 Conclusion: Labontes bid or just installing the new sheet piling and concrete is a one step approach for repair. Pilings Plus has a multi or 3 step approach for repair that addresses 3 separate issues, and of course is more costly but likely a more permanent repair. I hope this helps Thanks, Brian https://youtu.be/Rtq-YFgUQ60 From: David Newmark Date: February 23, 2016 at 9:57:35 AM EST To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: El Brillo sea wall re air Reply-To: David Newmark Attached is our proposal to repair the seawall at El Brilb.
