<br />RELATED PROJECTS <br />(Cost Control Examples) <br /> <br />"'" <br /> <br /> <br />Project Name: <br />Location: <br />Client: <br /> <br />Scope of Work: <br /> <br />Size: <br />Nutting's Fee's <br /> <br />Crosspoint Elementary School (school 98-1) <br />Congress Avenue, Boynton Beach, Florida <br />The School District of Palm Beach County <br />Mr. Bill Cusano, Sr. Projects Administrator <br />Phone: (561) 668-7606 <br />Geotechnical engineering, construction materials testing and <br />special structural inspection services <br />18-acre, 2-story 100,000 sf elementary school building <br />$75,000 <br /> <br />Palm Beach County School District is one of the many School Districts in which Nutting has <br />had a Qualification Based Contract for Geotechnical Engineering, Construction Materials <br />Testing and Structural (Special! Threshold) Inspections and Environmental Services. <br /> <br />Nutting was brought in to consult on a project that the School District was on the brink of <br />abandoning due to the significant cost associated with a demucking-refilling operation of <br />heavy peat deposits located on the site. Nutting's principal chief engineer, Jim Flaig, offered <br />a cost saving recommendation that the School District planners consider relocating the main <br />building to the area with no peat to shallow depth of organics and to move the large storm <br />water retention area to the west side of the site, in the area of the deep muck. The planners <br />determined that this would be an excellent solution and the School District finalized the site <br />purchase. <br /> <br />The Cost-Control Solution saved the School District substantial amounts of money and fees <br />already expended on the acquisition of the current site and if needed, an alternative site as <br />well as the future cost of demucking-refilling had they decided to proceed with the original <br />layout. <br /> <br />Nutting provided services through completion of the project by monitoring and testing the <br />site development and building pad preparation activities, the materials testing and <br />inspections of the tilt wall construction- all on time, on schedule and within the budget. <br /> <br />8r~~lb~ <br />
