We think the pool should be put into service for the coming season.,
and that observation should. be made over considerable period of time
to sea whether or not the pool, as a 1~,ank, is satisfactory, Although
the Contract calls for one year. maintenance bond to be furnished, it
is recommended that the Contractor be required to furnish a three-
year maintent~nce bond relative to the pool tank, as a condition for
final acceptance, when the work is completed.
The remaining work, in our opinion, is minor and could be accomplished
in a week, or two weeks at most. We are speaking particularly of
some of the piping in the vicinity of the x"'i.lter, and the stopping of
leaks around two of the pipes where said pipes pierce the wall of the
wetwell.
If all of the aforementioned actions are taken at once, we feel that
the pool can be placed into operation at the beginning of the season
and that the whole summer seasor. can be an extended 'shake-down's
period. Hopefully, whatevex problems appear will not be of magnitude
demanding shutdown bat will be of nature that can be corrected at the
end of the season.
Very truly yours,

avoided would be to have put into the work expansion or contraction
joints at very close intervals. In pool construction, or for that
matter, any type of concrete tank construction that must hold water,
the designer is torn between the decision as to whether he shall put
in large number and frequent joints (that is, controlled cracks) or
to minimize the number of these joints and take the consequences of
uncontrolled cracks.
In view of the fact that the concrete cylinders had tested out below
specification, as .referred to above, the Contractor was asked to
perform additional tests in order to assure the quality of the
concrete actually placed was adequate, He called upon United States
Testing Laboratory to perform in-place non-destructive testing and
these tests as reported were erratic and obviously urseliable. The
Contractor then was instructed to dri~1 cores and to run tests of
the concrete thus obtained. This was dons. Attention is invited
to Oklahoma Testing Laboratory Report No. 8931, dated September 16,
1974. In summary, 6 cores. were taken. Core No. 4 possessed enough
honeycomb that satisfactory test could not be made. Cores 3 and 5
tested out at 3380 psi and 3660 psi -raspecti.vely. Cores 1, 2 and 6
tested at 5330 psi, 4650 psi and 4180 psi respectively, Field inspec-
tion showed that the thickr_ess of the concrete fulfilled the minimum
8-inch requirement. These tests confirm that although in some cases
not up to the desired 4,000 psi level, the concrete possesses acceptable
compressive strength.
The Contractor closed the cracks by use of "Waterplug". When pouring
the bottom of the pool the Contractor did not trowel same properly,
and it hardened in a conditicn too rough to be acceptable. Discussions
were had concerning this matter and the .response was that "it would be
taken care of". He thought that it would be an easy matter to grind
the surface to a smooth condition. It is a credit to the hardness
quality of the concrete surface that when attempt was made to do this
grinding it was four_d to be too difficult. The Contractor then asked
for ar_d ~.ras given permission to furnish and apply "Thoroseal" over
the bottom in order to obtain satisfactory smoothness. This also
had another protective effect, that is, covering over the location
of the shrinkage cracks, which were visible as to location although
they had been closed with Waterplug. Thoroseal is a trade name for
a. product which has gained an excellent reputation for uses such as
this. It is an epoxy product na.nufactured by Standard Dry Wall
F~oducts, Inc., Cer_terville, Indiana.

Cartract for constructiar_ of the Owasso Swimming Pool was awarded
to Caldwell Construction Company and work order was issued April
15, 1974. Contract called for completion to be July 13, 1974.
Time extension was requested by Contractor and the City granted are
extension to August 12, 1974.
As ~f this instant, the Cor~~ractor has not fully comvleted hip work,
His actions, or morQ ac~~r~tely-, Lack of performance, is such that
it is recommended that the City take whatever legal action Counsel
ad~rises to take-over a.nd com*~lete the project. It is is~perative
that -cuffs be done sc that the pool can be made ready for use this
coning summer, and thus that the City rot be denied use of the
facility,
At this particular time it -is desired to comment concerning some of
the problems and deficiencies which remain, Fi.,rst, let us 3iscuss
the concrete floor of -E:he pool. ~e plans call for the floor to be

for the concrete to he 4,000 psi at 28 days.
