Scope Of Work

Overview:The Volta Park Playground Project scope included the demolition of the existing playground equipment and removal of the existing mulch surface and several inches of the organic soil material. We installed perimeter drainage tile, stone aggregate material and Pebbleflex rubberized safety surface. Kompan playground equipment, signage, benches and picnic tables was also installed.

This specialized project utilized 59% CBE participation, with 25% of the labor force working on the project being DC residents. The project was also executed while the recreation center, its swimming pool, tennis courts and children’s play area were still in use by the community. The project finished ahead of the contractual date.

It was executed in two phases. In Phase 1 the work consisted of the complete excavation, soil remediation, and landscaping renovation to the lower end of the park. The park is located near the lowest elevation of the adjacent neighborhood. Consequently, during storms water overwhelms the main storm drain in the park. As a result, a new drainage system and new soil was installed to improve the drainage from storm waters. A new slot trench drainage system was installed under the concrete sidewalk to control the water flow and permeable soil. New landscaping was also provided to more the visual appeal of the park.

In Phase 2 the work consisted of the complete demolition of existing playground equipment, its underground foundations as well as the existing safety surfacing, to install new playground equipment, necessary re-grading/drainage and improvements to the plaza area of the park

The total of CBE participation for the Kalorama Park project was 93.9% for Phase 1 and 80.4% for Phase 2.
