SECTION 5: PROJECT DESCRIPTION 5.1 Lincoln Park is bordered by Delaware Avenue to the west, Eagle Street to the east, Park Avenue to the north and Morton Avenue to the south. The park is bisected by Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard, dividing what is considered the upper park and lower park. Lincoln Park was originally a deep ravine carved out by the Beaver Kill Creek, which flowed south from Park Avenue and Swan Street. The surrounding neighborhood was the site of a large brewery and brick yards in the mid-1700s. In the 1800s these industries were abandoned and Beaver Park was created, which eventually became Lincoln Park. Over the years, the ravine was filled and the Beaver Kill was redirected to an underground brick conduit. Fill depths range from 30 to 40 feet. The park is roughly rectangular in shape, with the curved section along the north edge generally following the former course of the Beaver Kill creek, which has since been diverted underground. It is divided into two sections by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard (formerly Swan Street). Most of the western section comprises a gentle slope towards the northeast. Much of this land was owned by renowned geologist and paleontologist James Hall in the mid-19th century, prior to the creation of a public park by the City of Albany in the 1890s. His office, designed by architects Calvert Vaux and Andrew Jackson Downing was completed in 1852, and has been incorporated into the school property; it is a National Historic Landmark (1976) and listed on the National Register (1976) and State Register (1980). This section also contains Public School 24 (1954-55), now the Thomas O’Brien Academy of Science & Technology (TOAST), and a small athletic complex comprising tennis courts, handball courts, a basketball court, a playground, and a water playground. The northwest corner is the most rugged section of the park, containing a natural ravine through which the Beaver Kill once ran. The eastern section of the park forms what has been termed “a deep bowl or what is practically a natural amphitheater with steeply sloping sides.” From the corner of Morton Avenue and Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, the ground drops steeply to the northeast, ---PAGE BREAK--- 5 of 18 reaching its low point at the bottom of the bowl, which has been used as athletic fields since the adoption of the park’s design in 1913—executed by landscape architect Charles Downing Lay in close collaboration with architect Arnold W. Brunner. The actual bowl is roughly T-shaped, composed of two intersecting ovals. Northwest of the bowl, at the top of the embankment overlooking the athletic fields, is the Lincoln Park bath house, built in two phases between 1929 and 1933. Behind the bath house and enclosed by a non-original chain-link fence is the large pool, completed around the same time in 1931. 5.2 The swimming pool and bath house were constructed in 1930 and are found in the lower section of Lincoln Park between Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard and Eagle Street. The pool filter and recirculation system is located in the basement of the bath house. The bath house and pool are currently listed on the New York State Register of Historic Places and were recently listed on the National Register of Historic Places in February 2018. 5.3 In 2017, the City of Albany commissioned an evaluation and assessment of Lincoln Park Pool to understand the pool’s deficiencies and to identify and prioritize necessary improvements. The evaluation was completed by Weston & Sampson and concluded that the pool needs to be entirely replaced since future repairs to the existing structure are not feasible. 5.4 It is the purpose of this project to complete the design of a new pool, filtration and chlorination system. It is assumed the configuration of the pool and ancillary equipment will generally follow the same configuration as the existing pool. That is while the shape may change, the pool will remain in the same location, the filtration system will be housed in the basement of the bath house and the existing chlorine building will be utilized to storage of the sodium hypochlorite. The general scope of work for the project includes: a. Removal of the existing pool, filter system, chlorination system and all other associated components. b. Design a new swimming pool, including new pool basin, pool piping and new filtration and chlorinating equipment. c. Design of a new supervisory control and data acquisition system for pool operation and chlorination system. d. Provide a new pool deck around the perimeter of the pool. e. Obtain all regulatory approvals. f. Preparation of a pool operations and maintenance manual. ---PAGE BREAK--- 6 of 18 SECTION 6: SCOPE OF SERVICES 6.1 General: a.

This report was prepared in general accord with our proposal to you dated April 6, 2017. In general, our services consisted of the following: • Layout and completion of one test boring to supplement two others we completed at the site in 2001, • Site reconnaissance and review of available historical information by a Geotechnical Engineer, • Preparation of this preliminary report which summarizes the results of the site explorations and evaluations. It should be understood that this report was prepared, in part, on the basis of a limited number of test borings performed for the field investigation. The borings were advanced at discrete locations and the soils sampled at specific depths. Conditions are only known at the locations and through the depths investigated. Conditions at other locations and depths may be different, and these differences may impact upon the conclusions reached and the recommendations offered. PROJECT & SITE DESCRIPTION The Lincoln Park Pool was constructed circa1930 and is a 300 foot wide horseshoe shaped cast-in-place concrete structure with a plan area of about 70,000 square feet. www.dente-engineering.com ---PAGE BREAK--- The pool has a maximum depth of 8 feet and design capacity of 1,750,000 gallons of water. The pool reportedly loses between 350,000 and 500,000 gallons of water per day. Along with the water loss, the following were observed and/or identified in past studies: • Cracks in the pool surface, • Water leaking from water recirculation lines, • Water leaking from drainage and return lines, • Water leaking from the fill line, • Subsidence and/or heave of the pool bottom. The approximate location of the pool is shown on the attached USGS topographic maps. The current map shows surface elevations around the pool to be about 90 feet. The USGS map dated 1895 shows a drainage ravine in the pool area with surface elevations as low as 40 to 60 feet. This ravine was filled sometime prior to the pool construction and its drainage diverted through the “Beaver Creek” sewer. This sewer is reportedly an 8 foot diameter circular brick structure which passes in close proximity to the south side of the pool as shown on the attached plan. The invert elevation for the sewer is 62.4 feet in a manhole near the pool and 46.5 feet in a manhole located southeast of the bathhouse. On this basis, it appears that between 30 and 50 feet of fill was placed beneath portions of the pool area and this has been confirmed by test borings as detailed below. In March 2001 we prepared a Geotechnical Evaluation to evaluate possible causes for settlement of the pool’s bathhouse. Two test borings were completed for this evaluation and they revealed miscellaneous fill materials were present to depths of 38 to 42 feet. Settlement of the bathhouse and surrounding areas was attributed to long-term consolidation of these fills. Based upon our review of the draft “Existing Conditions Survey” prepared by Weston & Sampson (July 2017), the pool bottom elevations vary differentially by as much as 12 to almost 24 inches with the lowest surfaces found on the southeast side adjacent to the bathhouse and the highest surfaces along the west and north sides. A similar distribution of differential movements appeared to be present as early as 20 to 30 years ago based upon our review of a plan provided in a report for the Lincoln Park Pool prepared by the City of Albany Department of Water & Water Supply on July 26, 2000. This plan showed the approximate operating water level for the 1987 season and taped water depth measurements at various pool locations on July 18, 2000. Several investigations completed by others were made available to us for review. Among these were the results of a series of holes drilled through the pool slab by GroutTech in 1999 to investigate for the presence of voids. Of 50 holes drilled, only 11 had detectable voids which were in the range of ½ to 1 inch deep. Other reports have detailed evidence of open joints, collapse, sagging, and/or dirt filling within a number of buried drain pipes beneath and in the immediate area of the pool. Page 2 of 5 www.dente-engineering.com ---PAGE BREAK--- SITE INVESTIGATIONS The subsurface conditions at the site were investigated for this study through the completion of one test boring to supplement two borings we complete for the bathhouse evaluation in 2001. The approximate test boring locations are shown on the attached aerial photographs. Logs of the conditions encountered are also attached. The 2001 borings located adjacent to the bathhouse at the southeast side of the pool revealed between 38 and 42 feet of fill material. The fills were various mixtures of soil (sand, gravel, silt, and clay), cinders, ash, brick, and wood. The fills were judged to be of a loose relative density based upon standard penetration values recorded as the samples were obtained. No discernible fill material was found in the supplemental test boring SB-1 which was located near the pump house on the northwest side of the pool. In the 2001 test borings, the fills were underlain by glacial till composed of relatively firm to compact mixes of sand, gravel, silt and clay. These test borings were ended in the till at depths of about 44 to 46 feet. The termination depths were at or near elevation 42 feet. In the supplemental test borings, glacial till soils were found directly beneath about 8 inches of topsoil. The till was relatively loose grading with depth to very compact mixes of sand, silt, gravel, and shale. The surface of shale bedrock was found at a depth of 8 feet. This corresponds to a bedrock elevation near 80 feet at the boring location on the northwest side of the pool. Rock is much deeper, i.e., below elevation 42 feet on the southeast side of the pool near the bathhouse. This is consistent with the NYS Museum Geological Survey Map and Chart 37, Plate 3 (1983) which shows a bedrock surface elevation near 100 feet west of the pool sloping down to about 0 feet east of the pool. A copy of a portion of the referenced Plate 3 is attached. Bedrock was cored for a length of 7 feet in the supplemental boring. The cored shale was medium hard, weathered to sound, and thin bedded with fractures containing slickenside surfaces. No groundwater was present within the overburden soils in the supplemental test boring. In the 2001 borings layers of trapped and/or perched groundwater were present within the fills at various depths beginning about 13 to 15 feet below grade. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The pool was constructed over highly variable subsurface conditions with native glacial tills present on the northwest side of the pool and 40 or more feet of miscellaneous fill materials on the southeast side. Over the decades since the pool was constructed, the fills have consolidated and caused settlements on the order of 12 to 24 inches. These settlements are differential across the area of the pool, with little or no settlement occurring beneath the northwest portion of the pool where little or no fill is present and maximum settlements beneath the southeast portion where the fills are deepest. Page 3 of 5 www.dente-engineering.com ---PAGE BREAK--- As the settlements occurred, cracks appeared in the pool bottom and drain pipes deflected and formed open joints resulting in the significant leakage. This leakage in turn increases the rate of consolidation within the deep fills and settlement of the pool. No periodic surveys of the pool bottom have been taken, thus it is unknown whether consolidation/settlement is still occurring and at what rate. Prior to our investigation, some thought that cracking and deflections in the pool bottom may have been due, if part, to movement of the slopes outside the pool area on the north and west sides. If such movements occurred, they could cause heave of the pool bottom in those areas. It is our opinion that the likelihood for this to have occurred is remote considering that the soils in this area were found to consist of native glacial till over relatively shallow bedrock. Short-term actions which may be considered to further evaluate the pool settlement and options to stabilize/repair the pool include: • Periodic surveys should be made of control points established in the pool bottom to determine whether settlement is still occurring and at what rate. As a minimum we recommend surveys immediately before and after filling and draining of the pool, and at approximate three month intervals when the pool is not in use. • Cracks in the pool bottom should be sealed to minimize leakage which can in turn increase the rate of consolidation in the deep underlying fills. • Water and drain lines beneath and in close proximity to the pool should be repaired and/or replaced if possible to minimize leakage. If the periodic surveys indicate that settlement of the pool bottom has essentially ceased or is occurring at a very slow rate, options can be evaluated by the City and project team to either continue operating the pool in its current condition, making repairs as necessary, or reconstruct the pool and associated piping over the existing fills. In the latter case, it should be understood by all that the risk for some degree of future settlement will exist with construction over the deep fills which are present at the project site. Methods to eliminate this risk, such as removal and replacement of fills or in-situ improvement of the fills through deep dynamic compaction or installation of rammed aggregate piers, are not considered feasible due to the depth and extent of the fill and proximity of the brick sewer. If reconstruction of the pool in part or total is a consideration, all new piping should be designed to accommodate future settlement, the magnitude of which can be estimated based upon the periodic monitoring results. If the periodic surveys indicate that settlement of the pool bottom is continuing at an unacceptable rate, there is little that can be done to arrest or even slow the rate other than sealing cracks as they occur and repair of leaking pipes as may be possible.

A geotechnical-engineering study conducted for a civil engineer may not fulfill the needs of a constructor — a construction contractor — or even another civil engineer. Because each geotechnical- engineering study is unique, each geotechnical-engineering report is unique, prepared solely for the client. No one except you should rely on this geotechnical-engineering report without first conferring with the geotechnical engineer who prepared it. And no one not even you — should apply this report for any purpose or project except the one originally contemplated. Read the Full Report Serious problems have occurred because those relying on a geotechnical-engineering report did not read it all. Do not rely on an executive summary. Do not read selected elements only. Geotechnical Engineers Base Each Report on a Unique Set of Project-Specific Factors Geotechnical engineers consider many unique, project-specific factors when establishing the scope of a study. Typical factors include: the client’s goals, objectives, and risk-management preferences; the general nature of the structure involved, its size, and configuration; the location of the structure on the site; and other planned or existing site improvements, such as access roads, parking lots, and underground utilities. Unless the geotechnical engineer who conducted the study specifically indicates otherwise, do not rely on a geotechnical-engineering report that was: • not prepared for you; • not prepared for your project; • not prepared for the specific site explored; or • completed before important project changes were made. Typical changes that can erode the reliability of an existing geotechnical-engineering report include those that affect: • the function of the proposed structure, as when it’s changed from a parking garage to an office building, or from a light- industrial plant to a refrigerated warehouse; • the elevation, configuration, location, orientation, or weight of the proposed structure; • the composition of the design team; or • project ownership. As a general rule, always inform your geotechnical engineer of project changes—even minor ones—and request an assessment of their impact. Geotechnical engineers cannot accept responsibility or liability for problems that occur because their reports do not consider developments of which they were not informed. Subsurface Conditions Can Change A geotechnical-engineering report is based on conditions that existed at the time the geotechnical engineer performed the study. Do not rely on a geotechnical-engineering report whose adequacy may have been affected by: the passage of time; man-made events, such as construction on or adjacent to the site; or natural events, such as floods, droughts, earthquakes, or groundwater fluctuations. Contact the geotechnical engineer before applying this report to determine if it is still reliable. A minor amount of additional testing or analysis could prevent major problems. Most Geotechnical Findings Are Professional Opinions Site exploration identifies subsurface conditions only at those points where subsurface tests are conducted or samples are taken. Geotechnical engineers review field and laboratory data and then apply their professional judgment to render an opinion about subsurface conditions throughout the site. Actual subsurface conditions may differ — sometimes significantly — from those indicated in your report. Retaining the geotechnical engineer who developed your report to provide geotechnical-construction observation is the most effective method of managing the risks associated with unanticipated conditions. A Report’s Recommendations Are Not Final Do not overrely on the confirmation-dependent recommendations included in your report. Confirmation- dependent recommendations are not final, because geotechnical engineers develop them principally from judgment and opinion. Geotechnical engineers can finalize their recommendations only by observing actual subsurface conditions revealed during construction. The geotechnical engineer who developed your report cannot assume responsibility or liability for the report’s confirmation-dependent recommendations if that engineer does not perform the geotechnical-construction observation required to confirm the recommendations’ applicability. A Geotechnical-Engineering Report Is Subject to Misinterpretation Other design-team members’ misinterpretation of geotechnical-engineering reports has resulted in costly Important Information about This Subsurface problems are a principal cause of construction delays, cost overruns, claims, and disputes. While you cannot eliminate all such risks, you can manage them. The following information is provided to help. ---PAGE BREAK--- problems. Confront that risk by having your geotechnical engineer confer with appropriate members of the design team after submitting the report. Also retain your geotechnical engineer to review pertinent elements of the design team’s plans and specifications. Constructors can also misinterpret a geotechnical-engineering report. Confront that risk by having your geotechnical engineer participate in prebid and preconstruction conferences, and by providing geotechnical construction observation. Do Not Redraw the Engineer’s Logs Geotechnical engineers prepare final boring and testing logs based upon their interpretation of field logs and laboratory data. To prevent errors or omissions, the logs included in a geotechnical-engineering report should never be redrawn for inclusion in architectural or other design drawings. Only photographic or electronic reproduction is acceptable, but recognize that separating logs from the report can elevate risk. Give Constructors a Complete Report and Guidance Some owners and design professionals mistakenly believe they can make constructors liable for unanticipated subsurface conditions by limiting what they provide for bid preparation. To help prevent costly problems, give constructors the complete geotechnical-engineering report, but preface it with a clearly written letter of transmittal. In that letter, advise constructors that the report was not prepared for purposes of bid development and that the report’s accuracy is limited; encourage them to confer with the geotechnical engineer who prepared the report (a modest fee may be required) and/ or to conduct additional study to obtain the specific types of information they need or prefer. A prebid conference can also be valuable. Be sure constructors have sufficient time to perform additional study. Only then might you be in a position to give constructors the best information available to you, while requiring them to at least share some of the financial responsibilities stemming from unanticipated conditions. Read Responsibility Provisions Closely Some clients, design professionals, and constructors fail to recognize that geotechnical engineering is far less exact than other engineering disciplines. This lack of understanding has created unrealistic expectations that have led to disappointments, claims, and disputes. To help reduce the risk of such outcomes, geotechnical engineers commonly include a variety of explanatory provisions in their reports. Sometimes labeled “limitations,” many of these provisions indicate where geotechnical engineers’ responsibilities begin and end, to help others recognize their own responsibilities and risks. Read these provisions closely. Ask questions. Your geotechnical engineer should respond fully and frankly. Environmental Concerns Are Not Covered The equipment, techniques, and personnel used to perform an environmental study differ significantly from those used to perform a geotechnical study. For that reason, a geotechnical- engineering report does not usually relate any environmental findings, conclusions, or recommendations; e.g., about the likelihood of encountering underground storage tanks or regulated contaminants. Unanticipated environmental problems have led to numerous project failures. If you have not yet obtained your own environmental information, ask your geotechnical consultant for risk-management guidance. Do not rely on an environmental report prepared for someone else. Obtain Professional Assistance To Deal with Mold Diverse strategies can be applied during building design, construction, operation, and maintenance to prevent significant amounts of mold from growing on indoor surfaces. To be effective, all such strategies should be devised for the express purpose of mold prevention, integrated into a comprehensive plan, and executed with diligent oversight by a professional mold-prevention consultant. Because just a small amount of water or moisture can lead to the development of severe mold infestations, many mold- prevention strategies focus on keeping building surfaces dry. While groundwater, water infiltration, and similar issues may have been addressed as part of the geotechnical- engineering study whose findings are conveyed in this report, the geotechnical engineer in charge of this project is not a mold prevention consultant; none of the services performed in connection with the geotechnical engineer’s study were designed or conducted for the purpose of mold prevention. Proper implementation of the recommendations conveyed in this report will not of itself be sufficient to prevent mold from growing in or on the structure involved.
