Fitch eras i na SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE ADDRESS REPLY TO WRITER UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE March 17, 1938 Dr. F. C. Allen Department of Physical Education Robinson Gymnasium University of Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: As requested some time ago I have had one of my C.S.E.P. students working on survey, plans and estimate for the grading and draining of the two athletic fields at the southwest corner of the campus. By putting in a considerable time on this project myself we have been able to get together a tracing which I will present to you tomorrow, and if desired we can make from this a required number of blueprints. As you will note on this plan I have divided the estimate in the north field and the south field; the north field being the tract about 400 by 1100 feet at the southwest corner of the campus, and the south field being a field purchased by the R.O.7.C. and turned over to the university for its use. This field is approximately 300 feet wide by 700 feet long. In regard to the drainage ditch going through the north field, I have considered this matter rather carefully and desided that it would be impractical to attempt to use any water way having an area of cross section less than the culvert which now goes under the road about the middle on the north line of the field and about the middle east and west. This culvert drains a considerable area,there being water coming down the ditch from the east from the power plant and from outlets from downspouts from various university buildings, and to the north of the culvert there is cared forthe drainage of the entire field south of the auditorium together with down- spout drains from several of these buildings. I have taken occasion to observe the run-off through this culvert at times of. heavy rains and have seen the culvert “running entirely full. This, of course, does not happen often but since it does happen, if a smaller area were used it would mean the entire field would be flooded and washed quite badly. Dr. F. C. Allen; March 17, 1938; page 2. I have therefore shown a cross section of a drainage box, side walls built up of rough stone setting on concrete footings, having a conerete floor and reinforced concrete top. The grade of this box is set so that the fill in the field would entirely cover it so that it would offer no obstruction in the playing field. I have shown on the tracing the quantities of material necessary together with grading and tile drains, and on a sep- arate sheet I am applying a unit price which I feel is some- where near correct in order that you may have some idea of the approximate cost of the project. You will note from elevations shown on this plat that the north field falls . from 12 to 14 feet in the 400 feet across it. The proposed grade cuts down at the north approximately 8 feet and fills 6 or 7 feet at the south, and cuts this slope to approximately one per cent or a drop of 4 feet in crossing the field to the south. This is probably as near level as we dare go and maintain proper surface drainage. I think this grade would not be a serious objection on the playing field. A similer grade is shown for the field to the south. This you will note becomes a rather large project and if necessary the tile drains could be left out for the present. The tile to be placed in the new embankment towards the south edge of the field could not be placed at this time on account of the desirability of allowing the fill time to thoroughly settle. I realize that this project no doubt is calling for a greater expense than you had expected but I thought best to draw up this plan on the basis of a first class completed job, and if you are unable to use it at the present time it may be used some time in the future. I shall be giad to go over this per- sonally with you. Yours very truly, Fa M ess F. A. Russell, Professor of Civil Engineering FAR:lbr Dr. F. ©. Allen; March 17, 1938; page 3.

C. Allen Department of Physical Education Robinson Gymasium Campus Dear Dr. Allen: You may desire a report on the money spent and work done on the grading of the intramural field. Following is a brief report. For grading of field: Hire of power shovel - - - -—- $ 486.20 Hire of trucks - - - - — = 338.890 Extra driver for truck - - - 11.20 Labor paid for grading - - <- 90.65 Engineering and supervision - 94.90 Total for grading - §$ 1020.85 There was moved a total of 9050 cubic yards, which gives a unit cost for moving the earth and planing it down of 11.3 cents per cubic yard. This does not give credit for the W.P.A. labor received, which was used in leveling earth dumped from trucks during the last half of the work. As shown above, we spent $90.65 for this labor before W.P.A. help was assigned. In reality we have accomplished a great deal more than I had ever hoped for the money we had to spend, as the best contract bid we had on the grading was 20 cents per cubic yard. We were very fortunate in being able to get the Towmmship power shovel at $2.50 per hour rental, as such a shovel usually rents for about $4.00 per hour. In addition to the above expense, there are outstanding bills for the following: 120 Steel Guard Posts (Coens) at «40 — cK = ied — = = $ 48.00 28 sacks cement (Friends) at .70 less 108 - - - -+ 16.80 Sand, approximately - - - - 5.00 Paint and brushes (Green Bros.) 4.93 — Total - - - - - § 74.73 I believe you mentioned you had purchased about $60.00 worth of pipe for bringing water to the field. On the above basis then, there has been spents $ 1020.85 74.73 60.00 $ 1155.58 Dr. F. C. Allen - 2 You can then see we have very little left out of $1200.00 for any seeding or purchase of water. I am simply calling this to your attention so we may not overspend this fund. Yours truly, 7 | =a F. A. Russell, Professor Civil Engineering FARsmd C.C. Raymond Nichols C. G. Bayles pf. U. oe oe oy Ly Sor Lj pon th ee Lae Uilksche Lf (aot en Atty cod andy nN A a ESTIMATE ON WATER NEEDED FOR INTRAMURAL FIELD Ordinary soil will take up about 40% of its volume in water. It usually has about 10% or 15% already. This would call for say 25% by po ee which would be approximately 1.5 gallons per cue fte, or 40 gale per cue yde For 9,000 cue ydse of embankment, there would be required 9,000 x 40 == 360,000 gallons of water. The lowest rate the University pays is 12¢ per 1,000 gale This would require 360 x 12 == $43.00. This, of course, would be simply for settling and there would be needed more for wetting slopes, and sprinkling each day for some timee Think we should count on about $75.00 for water. For seeding, think we should at this late date use the blue grass and clover, or just straight blue grass. One pound will seed 200 sqe fte This field is 430 x 380 for seeding, which gives approximately 164,000 sqe fte which would require 820 pounds @ $12.50 cwt. ~ would cost $102.50. In addition, think we should have about $50.00 worth of fertilizer.
