MEETING NOTES Page 2 May 15, 2013 INTRODUCTION • The parties introduced themselves. Guinn is the earthwork contractor. Comanco is the geosynthetics contractor. GLA is the CQA firm and Lewis Engineering is the design engineer. • GLA's lead CQA inspector will be Jose.Armenta, C.E.T. • Guinn's foreman will be Kevin. • Lochlin will serve as the construction manager for Forward. Erin is the site manager and Ruben is the operations manager. • The geomembrane is proposed to be provided by AGRU, the geotextiles by SKAPS, the GCL by GSE, and the Geogrid by Tensar. * Sangeeta provided a project overview and explained that the cell is a standard Subtitle D cell on the base and has subgrade fill/GCL/HDPE Gemembrane/Geocomposite on the slope. * There is a small area of subgrade fill on the east facing slope that may have a slight cut and insufficient fill thickness. Sangeeta will provide information on the area of concern and a pothole will be dug to verify the soil cover thickness and if the subgrade fill grades need adjustment. * The WMU FU -10 tanks collapsed. The specifications for the tank have been the same since 1995, so the reason for the tank collapse in WNW FU -10 compared with successful installations in prior Wmus is unknown. The tanks have not been ordered yet and Ginter will contact Sangeeta to discuss appropriate tanks before ordering. * The area identified as a "trash hump" during the prebid is actually soil used to construct a prior access ramp and does not contain trash. * Phasing of cell construction was discussed between Comanco and Guinn to minimise the time that the clay liner would be exposed.
