2019

This slip on Hooper Ridge Road  at the 3.63 mile marker was caused by the storms in February 2018 that resulted in the FEMA DR 4360 disaster funding declaration in April 2018.  The photos above show the progressive nature of these landslides.  The first photo was taken in March, 2018.  The shoulder is completely gone when the 2^nd photo was taken in April, 2018.  The slip continues into the road surface (3^rd photo, January 2019).  We received the FEMA obligated funding on January 16, 2019, about 11 months after the disaster began.  We combined this repair with three other drilled shaft wall repair projects and accepted bids on May 7^th, 2019.  Alan Stone Company of Cutler, Ohio, was the low bidder at a cost of $ 80,460 for this slip repair, and a total cost of $ 315,470 for all four drilled shaft repairs (CR 36-4.89, CR 99-1.68, CR 39-0.94).  The wall construction on CR 36-3.63 was completed at on July 30^th, 2019, and paving was completed on September 4, 2019.

• CR 36-3.63: Drilled Shaft Wall (64 ft long) with concrete lagging panels ($ 80,460)

The Buckley Group provided surveying and engineering drawing services.  Terracon Consultants, Inc. provided soil borings and the drilled shaft wall designs.  True Inspection Services, LLC provided inspection and construction administration services.  This project was 75% funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Federal) and 25% funded by the Ohio Emergency Management Agency (State).

We managed the construction of fifteen (15) of these drilled shaft projects in 2019 that were funded by FEMA/OEMA from the  February 2018 disaster known as FEMA DR 4360.

In late July 2019 the Alan Stone Company began a slip repair on County Road 75- Coolville Ridge Road. This project consisted of the removal and replacement of 300 SY of chip and seal road surface, the installation of 115 LF of drilled shaft wall with lagging, the repair of 6 CY asphalt base course, the replacement of 21 CY embankment material, the installation of 4 CY Type C rock channel protection.  The total construction cost of this project was $102,629.

In mid-July 2019 Shelly and Sands, Inc. began work on two slip repairs on County Road 109- Beebe Road. This featured slip repair at the 0.24 mile marker consisted of removal and replacement of 13 CY of gravel, 161 CY of embankment, the installation of 135 LF drilled shaft wall, the placement of 200 CY of rock fill and the installation of 150 LF of guardrail.  The total construction cost of this particular project was $237,547.

In mid-May 2019 the county contracted out four slip repairs to the Alan Stone Company, two on Dutch Creek Road and two on New England Road. This featured slip repair at the 2.66 mile marker was a result of a 40’ long slip at the edge of the Dutch Creek Road. The solution was to build a 60’ long drilled shaft wall with lagging (i.e.,tie the wall 10′ into stable ground at each end) and add 100′ of guardrail. The total construction cost for this particular slip repair was $53,394.
