Staff: recent PSI tests focused on parking lot; earlier field checks passed non-core tests

Staff described two separate rounds of testing: an earlier set of checks on the playing fields and more recent PSI testing tied to the parking-lot asphalt. "Yes. So, that when when you were talking about when they requested additional funding for PSI testing, I assume you were talking about the most recent time, which was with respect to the asphalt," a staff member said. "It's asphalt," the staff member added when asked about material type.

The staff member said the earlier field tests included hammer testing and driving a water truck over the surface rather than core-sample tests. Those tests "passed those tests, but there were spots where the concrete itself was not the type that was uh supposed to have those specifications that were in the contract." To address noncompliant concrete, the transcript records that the geotechnical firm extended warranty coverage for the field; the transcript gives inconsistent figures for the previous and revised warranty period (the speaker said "from either 20 years to 30 years or 25 to 30 years"). The staff member characterized the concrete issue as "not a safety concern because it's not structural." The transcript does not show a formal, on-the-record engineering report presented during this exchange.

The discussion distinguished asphalt testing for the parking area from prior concrete-field testing and noted the contractor/geotechnical firm offered extended warranty coverage to replace any future concrete failures at no cost. No new remediation schedule, final engineering report, or core-sample results were provided in the exchange.
