Board approves $7,750 geotechnical borings for Wildwood Plaza police-station renovation
Summary
Marshfield hired PSI to conduct borings and geotechnical testing at the Wildwood Plaza site to support a police station renovation and related additions.
The Board of Public Works approved a $7,750 geotechnical services proposal from PSI for borings and subsurface testing at the Wildwood Plaza site, part of a renovation project that will house a new police station.
Josh Brown, a staff presenter on the Wildwood Plaza project, said the architect BKB Group solicited proposals from several geotechnical firms and recommended PSI to perform borings at locations where future building additions are planned. Brown said the borings will evaluate soils for a proposed garage addition, a stormwater pond, and a parking expansion.
The board carried the motion by voice vote. No environmental-contamination testing was mentioned; the borings were described as structural/geotechnical in purpose to determine soil-bearing conditions for planned construction elements.
Staff will proceed with the borings as recommended; no schedule for the borings or sequencing relative to construction drawings was specified in the meeting transcript.
