Weitz Road Soccer Complex faces $247,749 in change orders after unsuitable soils, sewer work and groundwater
Summary
County staff listed six change orders for the Weitz Road Soccer Complex driven by unsuitable soils, a failing 24‑inch sewer line, groundwater and drainage fixes; the final tally for remediation work is $247,749.25 and staff proposed using capital funds then repaying with SPLOST 6 as available.
County project staff presented six change orders for the Weitz Road Soccer Complex expansion, citing unsuitable soils across parking lots and fields, a damaged 24‑inch sewer line in the front parking area, groundwater intrusion that required additional French drains, concrete flumes, a trench cap and other remedial work. The presenter said the grading and stormwater work is essentially complete and that the remaining tasks are finishing touches and landscaping.
The presenter summarized the final cost: "This is all the change orders we ran into ... And the total is $247,749.25." Staff explained the additional work was addressed using unit pricing from the original contract and recommended covering the cost from capital funds with repayment from SPLOST 6 as revenues become available; the item will be on the evening agenda for formal action.
