North Dakota State University, April 30, 2015 Authorize NDSU to proceed with the Katherine Kilbourne Burgum (KKB) Family Life Center Footing Stabilization Project at an estimated cost of $750,000 funded from 2013-15 extra-ordinary repairs funds ($300,000) and 2013-15 appropriated operations funding ($450,000); furthermore, authorize the transfer of $450,000 from 2013-15 operations to capital assets line item per SB2003 (2013), Section 25. Project Description Katherine Kilbourne Burgum (KKB) Family Life Center was completed in 1976 as additional space for the College of Home Economics. In 1988, the 4-H auditorium was in-filled to provide a computer lab on the first floor and additional office space on the second floor of the building. In 2009, a footing stabilization project was completed to alleviate movement in the walls around the auditorium wing north of the central corridor. The south side of the building continued to settle and in 2013, a geotechnical exploration was started to assist a structural engineer in determining a solution to the problem. The current project will finish the stabilization of the building’s footings south of the central corridor. A 3D laser scan of the project area indicated 1” of settlement in the southwest corner of room 120, and 2” of settlement in the center of room 219. It has been determined that consolidation of the soil under the footings of the second floor columns over the last 26 years has caused the second floor settlement. Push piers, which provide support from the granite 130’ below the site, will be installed under the footings to stop additional settling. The differential heights in the floors that cannot be pushed back into place will be leveled to remedy any trip hazards that may remain. Although the project is a significant investment in structural repairs for a 40 year old facility, the overall condition of the building is good, and the repairs will provide an extended service life which offsets the substantial cost. In addition, NDSU does not consider this building in immediate need of replacement and subsequently supportive of deferred maintenance expenditures. Consistency with Campus Facility Master Plan and Budget Deferred Maintenance and maintaining facilities is a high priority for the campus.
