(Continued from Page 1) independent engineering firm , to examine the new building for structural defects and to propose some solutions. James M e rrifie ld , of the Portland firm Moffatt, Nichol and Bonney, filed a report Jan. 16 with the district, after six weeks of study on the building and its site. M errifield’s report supported home builder Shannon’s earlier contention that the site was not adequately prepared prior to construction. The report stated, “ The single most questionable item in the construction is the earth which underlies the con crete floor slabs.” Merrifield proposed to the board a variety of possible solutions, including removing the existing floor slab and doing proper excavating, filling and compacting of the sub-grade before replacing the slab. An alternative proposal was to d rill holes in the floor ap proximately every five feet and install small pillars down into original soil which would suspend the slab and prevent sinking as the sub-grade materials com pacted naturally. M errifield’s conclusion was that other flaws in the building could be corrected more easily than the problem with the sub grade, and that is the puzzle which w ill occupy board mem bers and their architect in the immediate future. Another hot potato w ill be determining financial respon sibility for the corrections and repairs made to the building. Citizens have repeatedly asked, “ Who’s going to pay for all this?” District administrators and board members are answering, “ We don’t know.” Meetings involving the ar chitect, the primary contractor, G lynbrook Construction of Salem, and the board, w ill ad dress that question over the coming weeks.
