Item #8 SPRINGFIELD-OAKS GOLF COURSE CHANGE ORDER NUMBER 9 TO J. D. ARMSTRONG Change Order Number 9 is the final tabulation for all pay items based on as -built quantities. The final contract total will be adjusted by an additional $37,977.69, the largest portion of which is an additional 58,254 cubic yards of mass grading. The main reason for the additional amount of fill required was due to unexpected settlement of soil in the peat areas on the golf course fairways.

The architect and Parks and Recreation decided the knob should be removed. 3,000 Cubic Yards b) After Green No. 1 was staked out and graded, the architect and Parks and Recreation decided the green should be raised approximately two feet so it would play better. Estimated 1,500 Cubic Yards Fairway No. 3 -- a) Because of the peat area and the excessively heavy water content of the ground, the architect and Parks and Recreation decided to raise Green No. 3 approximately three feet. Estimated 3,000 Cubic Yards Springfield -Oaks Golf Course Phase III Page 2 b) Because of the extremely unstable ground (peat) Pond No. 4 had been excavated and re -excavated about four times. The pond Ad banks would not hold, so the architect, Parks and Recreation, and Engineering decided the pond should be filled and abandoned as a pond. Estimated 1,500 Cubic Yards c) The entire area of Fairway No. 6 was a peat area which also extended into parts of Fairways No. 3 and 7. Because of the extremely unstable peat, fill material consolidated and displaced the peat until a stabilized condition at the proposed grades was reached. Upon completion of the project, hand auger borings were made at three locations to check the depth of additional fill on the peat. The borings verified that over two feet of additional fill was required over the area to bring it to a stable condition. The area involved is estimated to be about nine acres. To further verify our conclusions, we checked with a soils engineer from one of the area testing labs and were informed that the consolidation of peat involves many variables and can be fully consolidated or displaced depending on conditions. The estimate of the additional fill in this area is 30,000 Cubic Yards. Fairway No. 7 -- A very wet and peaty area was encountered for approxi- mately 500 feet in front of No. 7 Tee, and to dig up and consolidate the area it was raised an average of one to one and one-half feet. Estimated 5,000 Cubic Yards Fairway No. 9 -- In front of Tee No. 9 and a short way down the fairway a knob existed which, as on Fairway No. 1, blocked the view of the golfer on his tee shot. The architect and Parks and Recreation decided the knob should be removed. Estimated 6,000 Cubic Yards Number 10 Tee -- The width of the fairway in front of the tee was widened to provide a better play area. This area was also peaty and wet, and it is estimated that an additional 1,000 cubic yards of fill were placed in the area. 1,000 Cubic Yards Item #9 TENTH ANNIVERSARY As most of you are aware, the Parks and Recreation Commission will be celebrating its tenth anniversary this February. Staff has been thinking of various ways to make the people aware that the Commission has had ten years of progress and what its accomplishments have been. The.attached letter from Bob Salogar suggests a commemorative stamp program as well as using a poster meter ad to be used on all County mail for the month_ of March. Would appreciate you thinking about the tenth anni— versary so that we may discuss it informally at the meeting. ANTHONY M. INCORPORAYEE3 PUBLIC RELATIONS COUNSELORS January 14, 1976 MEMORANDUM TO: Eric Reickel FROM: Bob Salogar SUBJECT: Commemorative Stamp Program As we discussed at our last meeting, we are recommending that this commemorative stamp program be used to highlight Parks and Recreation's tenth anniversary. In order to carry out this program effectively and realize maximum impact, we are suggesting the use of two types of identification. For the month of March, all mail being sent from the centralized county mailroom would have a postage meter ad which would say: "Oakland Co. Parks & Recreation Commission... celebrating 10 years of progress.1t The size of this ad is 7/811 x 17/81t. The cost to produce this slug is $20 if Pitney Bowes sets the type. The cost is $45 if they are provided the art® There would be a nominal art preparation charge for the layout design. In order to provide individual municipalities with their own slug, we would first have to determine what type of meter each city uses and a subsequent $20 charge for each one. In deference to providing each municipality with its own slug, I recommend that we produce the four-color stamps. In addition to park staff using the stamps for all its correspondence, 500 stamps could be mailed to each mayor and another 500 to municipal recreation directors. An accompanying letter, co -signed by you and mr. . Richardson, would ask for their cooperation to place these stamps on their corres- pondence for one week, in March, celebrating the Commission's tenth anniversary. By limiting the anniversary to a one or two -week period, its importance and impact is heightened. I also believe that we will get better cooperation for individuals by putting a time limit on it. To lend importance to this anniversary, we would also attempt to have Governor Milliken proclaim a week in March as Oakland County Park Week. r 28 WEST ADAMS AVENUE ® DETROIT, MICHIGAN 48226 ® AREA CODE 313 962-4510 -2- The cost estimates for the stamps are as follows: Moisten -type Pressure -sensitive type 100,000 $2350.00 $2900.00 500,000 3600.00 5000.00 1,000,000 5000.00 7300.00 I would recommend the pressure-sensiti.ve type of stamp in order to make it as - easy as possible for the individuals to comply with our request. I also believe a quantity of 100, 000 would be sufficient. In addition to these costs there would be a nominal cost for art preparation of the stamps. In order to have this promotion ready for March, I am requesting some quick decisions from you and the Commission. Sincerely, Robert Salogar Manager - Marketing Communications RS:jn cc: J. Kipke, B.
