REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION
Public Mtg/Date: Village Board – 8/15/2023
Description: Change Order for Salt Shed Foundation System
From: Michael Wodalski, Director of Public Works
Keith Donner, Administrator
Question: Should the Village Board approve the foundation
system Change Order for a deduct in price of $14,000?
Background
As the new salt shed went in for Engineering approval, the foundation system originally
selected of the precast T-Panel walls were deemed to not be a viable solution as they
would be vulnerable to overturning and sliding forces. The salt building engineering
team has recommended that a 2’ x 2’ x 6’ concrete bin block foundation be utilized
instead as it is a more economical and feasible foundation system.
The blocks to be used will be strapped together with galvanized metal straps, steel
angles and other engineer approved connectors. The blocks will also be anchored to
the asphalt with an asphalt to earth anchor to withstand the shear loads.
These blocks are similar to what we use at the yardwaste site for the compost bins and
is what we would be using to divide the inside of the building for salt, sand and cold
patch material so the material type does fit the use of the building.

______________________________________________________________________
Committee Action: N/A
Fiscal Impact: This change order would reduce the cost by $14,000 to
bring the salt shed price down to $492,600
Recommendation: Staff recommends approving the foundation change order.
Recommended Language for Official Action
I move to Approve Change Order #2 to utilize the precast concrete block walls for
a price reduction of $14,000.

To whom it may concern,
Servinsky Engineering & Associates (SEA) has reviewed the precast tee wall foundation intended for design and
construction. We are contracted to Structures Unlimited (SUL) to design anchoring of the precast panels to the soil
for the applied loads. The base of the panel has overturning and sliding forces that must be resisted. The design
parameters restrict us in completing a viable design. These restrictions are:
• No backfill is allowed at exterior side of the precast structure;
• Asphalt paved floor cannot restrain panels from overturning force, and require tie rods between panels;
• Earth anchors of high capacity to resist uplift and lateral forces are not available on the market;
• Tee panels require the base to be buried at least 1 foot below floor level;
Using these parameters, we have determined that the precast tee panel foundation is not a viable solution as they
would require a significant number of earth anchors.
SEA has since coordinated with SUL to design a foundation of precast 2’x2’x6’ concrete bin blocks as per the
attached drawings and renderings. We propose that the inner frame-supporting foundation be 4- blocks (8’) high and
the outer (buttress) course would be 3 blocks (6’) high. All blocks would be strapped together with galvanized metal
straps, steel angles, and connectors per SEA as the engineer-of-record. Sliding stability of the foundation is handled
anchoring the blocks to the asphalt with a structural angle on the outside of the buttress blocks. The proprietary Bolt-
hold SP58 asphalt to earth anchor attached to blocks would be spaced per design to carry the shear load.
In summary, the block wall foundation is a practical and recommended solution. Blocks have ballast weight to resist
much of the uplift forces from frame loads combined with lateral salt pressure. The design would meet code-
stipulated safety factors. The soil bearing pressure would not exceed 3000 psf allowable pressure as listed in the
Geotechnical Report. This block foundation would be engineered to provide adequate strength for the building
support and commodity confinement. The concrete blocks are readily available to allow for timely completion.
Respectfully,
Mark S. Servinsky, P.E.
Chief Engineer
