SECTION 00 43 37
VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW NON RESIDENT BIDDER
r
Texas Government Code Chapter 2252 was adopted for the award of contracts to nonresident bidders. This law
provides that, in order to be awarded a contract as low bidder, nonresident bidders (out-of-state contractors whose
corporate offices or principal place of business are outside the State of Texas) bid projects for construction,
improvements, supplies or services in Texas at an amount lower than the lowest Texas resident bidder by the
same amount that a Texas resident bidder would be required to underbid a nonresident bidder in order to obtain a
comparable contract in the State which the nonresidenYs principal place of business is located.
The appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out by all nonresident bidders in order for your bid to meet
specifications. The failure of nonresident bidders to do so will automatically disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders
must check the box in Section B.
A. Nonresident bidders in the State of ' ' , our principal place of business,
are required to be ', ' percent lower than resident bidders by State Law. A copy of the
statute is attached.
Nonresident bidders in the State of ', , our principal place of business,
are not required to underbid resident bidders.
�'he principal place of business of our company or our parent company or majority owner is
in the State of Texas. �

c. the Contract Price has been reduced by Change Orders;
d. City has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work in accordance with

perform and proceeds diligently to cure such failure within no more than 30 days of receipt of
said notice.

rights or remedies of City against Contractor then existing or which may thereafter accrue. Any
retention or payment of moneys due Contractor by City will not release Contractor from liability.

2, Preservation
a. Considering the Contract completion time, the probable number of occasions
upon which the job set must be taken out for new entries and for examination,
and the conditions under which these activities will be performed, devise a
suitable method for protecting the job set,
b. Do not use the job set for any purpose except entry of new data and for review
by the City, until start of transfer of data to final Project Record Documents.
c. Maintain the job set at the site of work.
3. Coordination with Construction Survey
a, At a minimum, in accordance with the intervals set forth in Section O1 71 23,
clearly mark any deviations from Contract Documents associated with
installation of the infrastructure.
4. Making entries on Drawings
a. Record any deviations from Contract Documents.
b. Use an erasable colored pencil (not ink or indelible pencil), clearly describe the
change by graphic line and note as required.
c. Date all entries.
d, Call attention to the entry by a"cloud" drawn around the area or areas affected,
e. In the event of overlapping changes, use different colors for the overlapping
changes.
5. Conversion of schematic layouts
a. In some cases on the Drawings, arrangements of conduits, circuits, piping,
ducts, and similar items, are shown schematically and are not intended to
portray precise physical layout.
1) Final physical arrangement is determined by the Contractor, subject to the
City's approval.
2) However, design of future modifications of the facility may require
accurate information as to the fnal physical layout of items which are
shown only schematically on the Drawings.
b. Show on the job set of Record Drawings, by dimension accurate to within 1
inch, the centerline of each run of items.
1) Final physical arrangement is determined by the Contractor, subject to the
City's approval.
2) Show, by symbol or note, the vertical location of the Item ("under slab", "in
ceiling plenum", "exposed", and the like).
3) Make all identi�cation sufficiently descriptive that it may be related
reliably to the Specifications.
c. The City may waive the requirements for conversion of schematic layouts
where, in the City's judgment, conversion serves no useful purpose. However,
do not rely upon waivers being issued except as specifically issued in writing
by the City.
B. Final Project Record Documents
1. Transfer of data to Drawings
a. Carefully transfer change data shown on the job set of Record Drawings to the
corc•esponding final documents, coordinating the changes as required.
b. Clearly indicate at each affected detail and other Drawing a full description of
changes made during construction, and the actual (ocation of items.

high areas. Test surfaces sloped to drain for trueness of slope and smoothness; use
a sloped template.
a. Repair finished surfaces containing defects. Surface defects include spalls, pop
outs, honeycombs, rock pockets, crazing and cracks in excess of 0.01 inch wide
or that penetrate to reinforcement or completely through unreinforced sections
regardless of width, and other objectionable conditions.
b. After concrete has cured at least 14 days, correct high areas by grinding.
c. Correct localized low areas during or immediately after completing surface
fnishing operations by cutting out low areas and replacing with patching
mortar. Finish repaired areas to blend into adjacent concrete.
d. Repair defective areas, except random cracks and single holes 1 inch or less in
diameter, by cutting out and replacing with fresh concrete. Remove defective
areas with clean, square cuts and expose steel reinforcement with at least a 3/4-
inch clearance all around. Dampen concrete surfaces in contact with patching
concrete and apply bonding agent. Mix patching concrete of same materials
and mixture as original concrete except without coarse aggregate. Place,
compact, and finish to blend with adjacent �nished concrete. Cure in same
manner as adjacent concrete.
e. Repair random cracks and single holes 1 inch or less in diameter with patching
mortar. Groove top of cracks and cut out holes to sound concrete and clean off
dust, dirt, and loose particles. Dampen cleaned concrete surfaces and apply
bonding agent. Place patching mortar before bonding agent has dried.
Compact patching mortar and �nish to match adjacent concrete. Keep patched
area continuously moist for at least 72 hours.
5. Perform structural repairs of concrete, subject to Engineer's approval, using epoxy
adhesive and patching mortar.
6. Repair materials and installation not specified above may be used, subject to

When strength of fie(d-cured cylinders is less than 85 percent of companion
laboratory-cured cylinders, evaluate operations and provide corrective procedures
for protecting and curing in-place concrete.
Strength of each concrete mixture will be satisfactory if every average of any 3
consecutive compressive-strength tests equals or exceeds specified compressive
strength and no compressive-strength test value falls below specified compressive
strength by more than 500 psi.
Report test results in writing to Engineer, concrete manufacturer, and Contractor
within 48 hours of testing. Reports of compressive-strength tests shall contain
Project identification name and number, date of concrete placement, name of
concrete testing and inspecting agency, location of concrete batch in Work, design
compressive strength at 28 days, concrete mixture proportions and materials,
compressive breaking strength, and type of break for both 7- and 28-day tests,
Additional Tests: Testing and inspecting agency shall make additional tests of
concrete when test results indicate that slump, air entrainment, compressive
strengths, or other requirements have not been met, as directed by Engineer.
Testing and inspecting agency may conduct tests to determine adequacy of concrete
by cored cylinders complying with ASTM C42 or by other methods as directed by
Engineer.
a, When the strength level of the concrete for any portion of the structure, as
indicated by cylinder tests, falls below the specified requirernents, provide
itnproved curing conditions and/or adjustments to the mix design as required to
obtain the required stc•ength. If the average strength of the laboratory control
cylinders falls so low as to be deemed unacceptable, follow the core test
procedure set forth in ACI 301, Chapter 17, Locations of core tests shall be
approved by the Engineer. Core sampling and testing shall be at Contractors
expense.

' 2,0 FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
2.1 Field Exploration
Subsurface materials at the project site were expiored by four (4) vertical soil borings drilled to
depths of 20 to 30 feet below existing grade. The borings were drilled using continuous flight
augers at the approximate locations shown on the Plan of Borings, Plate A.1. The boring logs are
included on Piates A.4 through A.7 and keys to classificatians and symbols used on the logs are
provided on Plates A.2 and A.3.
Undisturbed samples af cohesive soils were obtained with nominal 3-inch diameter thin-walled
(Shelby) tube samplers at the locations shown on the log of boring. The Shelby tube samp(er
consists of a thin-walled steel tube with a sharp cutting edge connected to a head equipped with a
ball valve threaded for rod connection. The tube is pushed into the soil by the hydraulic pulldown
of the drilling rig. The soil specimens w�re extruded from the tube in the field, logged, tested for
consistency with a hand penetrometer, sealed, and packaged to limit loss of moisture.
The consistency of cohesive soil samples was evaluated in the field using a calibrated hand
penetrometer. In this test a 0.25-inch diameter piston is pushed into the relatively undisturbed
sample at a constant rate to a depth of 0.25 inch. The results of these tests, in tsf, are tabulated at
respective sample depths on the log. When the capacity of the penetrometer is exceeded, the
value is tabulated as 4.5+.
To evaluate the relative d�nsity and consistency of the harder formations, a modified version of the
Texas Cone Penetration test was perforrned at selected locations. Texas Department of
Transportation (Tx-Dot) Test Method Tex-132�E specifies driving a 3-inch diameter cone with a
170-pound hammer freely falling 24 inches. This results in 340 foot-pounds of energy for each
blow. This method was modified by utilizing a 140-pound hammer freely falling 30 inches. This
results in 350 foot-pounds of energy for each hammer blow. In relatively soft materials, the
penetrometer cone is driven 1 foot and the number of blows required for each 6-inch penetration is
tabulated at respective test depths, as blows per 6 inches on the log. In hard materials (rock or
rock-like), the penetrometer cone is driven with the resulting penetrations, in inches, recorded for
the first and second 50 blows, a total of 100 blows. The penetration for the total 100 blows is
recorded at the respective testing depths on the boring logs.

Ground-water observations during and after complefiion of the borings are shown on the upper right
of the boring logs. Upon completion of the boririgs, the bore holes were backfilled with soii cuttings
and plugged at the surface by hand tamping.
2.2 Laboratory Testing
Laboratory soil tests were perFormed on selecfied representative sampies r�covered from the
borings. In addition to the classification tests (liquid limits, plastic limits, and percent passing the
No. 200 sieve), moisture content, unit weighfi, and unconfined compressive strength tests were
pertormed. Results of the laboratory classification tests, moisture content, unit weight, and
unconfined compressive strer�gth tests conducted for this project are included on the boring logs.
Free swell testing was performed on selected sarrtples of the cohesive soils. The swell tests were
used in determining the expansive soil response of the clay soils. The results of the swell test are
provided on Plate A.8.
The �bove labaratory tests were perFormed in general accordance witii applicable ASTM
procedures, or generally accepted practice,
3.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
3.1 Soil Conditions
Specific types and depths of subsurFace strafia encountered at the boring locatiotis are shown on
the boring logs in Appendix A. The generalized subsurface stratigraphies encountered in the
borings ar� discussed below. Nofie fihat depths on the borings refer to the de�th from the existing
grade or ground surFace present at the time of the in�estigation, and the boundaries between the
various soil types are approximate.
Sewer Line Relocatio�`t (Trinity Park - W. of Clear Fork Trinitv River)
Soils encountered in Borings B-1 and B-2 �onsist of various dark brown, brown, and reddish browr�
sar�dy silty clays, silty clays and clays. Above 19 to 21 feet, the clayey soils are very stiff to hard
(soil basis) in consistet�cy with pocket penetrometer readir�gs of 3.75 to over 4.5 tsf. Below this
depth, the clayey soils are generally firm to stiff (soil basis), with pocket penetrometer readings of
1.25 to 2.25 tsf.
Report No. 1d3-10-117 CM7 BNGINEERING, irtc.
3
The various soils had tested Liquid Limits (LL) of 36 to 57 with Plasticity Indices (PI) of 21 to 40,
and are classified as CL and CH by the USCS. Tested dry unit weight values were 89 to 109 pcf
and unconfined compressive strengths were 1,680 to 12,730 psf.
The Atterberg Limits tests indicate the various clays encountered at this site are generally active to
highly active with respect to moisture induced volume changes.
Wafier Line Relocation (Fournier Street - E of Clear Fork Trinitv River)
Concrete pavement is present at the surface in Borings B-3 and B-4, with thicknesses ranging from
7%2 to 8 inches. Brown and light reddish brown sandy clays and tan sands are present beneath the
pavement in Boring B-4, noted as fill materials. The fill contains gravel. Natural soils encountered
in Boring B-3 consist of brown and dark brown silty clay with limestone fragments. The clayey soils
are very stiff to hard (soil basis) in consistency with pocket penetrometer readings of 3.25 and over
4.5 tsf. The various soils had tested Liquid Limits (LL) of 23 and 36 with Plasticity Indices (PI) of
11 and 18, and are classified as CL by the USCS.
Tan limestone is present in Borings B-3 and B-4 at depths of 1 and 4 feet, respectively. The tan
limestone is very hard (rock basis), with Texas Cone Penetration (THD) test values of 5/8 to 3/4 inch
per 100 blows. Gray shale is next present in Borings 6-3 and B-4 at depths of 6 to 8 feet. The
gray shale contains limestone seams/layers and is hard to very hard (rock basis), with Texas Cone
Penetration (THD) values of 5/8 to 1 3/8 inch per 100 blows.
3.2 Ground-Water Observations
The borings were drilled using continuous flight augers in order to observe ground-water seepage
during drilling. Ground-water seepage was encountered in Borings B-1 and B-2 at 21 to 22 feet
during drilling. Water levels of 18 to 20 feet were measured in Borings B-1 and B-2 at completion.
Borings B-3 and B-4 were dry during drilling and at completion.
While it is not possible to accurately predict the magnitude of subsurFace water fluctuation that
might occur based upon these short-term observations, it should be recognized that ground-wafer
conditions will vary with fluctuations in rainfall.
Report No. 103-10-117
CMJ ENGINEERING, INC.
4
Fluctuations of the ground-water level can occur due to seasor�al variations in the amount of
rainfali; site topography and runoff; hydraulic conductivity of soil strata; and otiier factors not
evident at the time the boring was performed. 7he possibility of ground-water level fluctuations
should be considered wfien developing the design and construction plans for the projeet.
Water traveling through the soil (subsurface water) is often unpredictable. This could be due to
seasonal changes in ground water and due to the unpredictable nature of ground-water paths.
Therefore, it is necessary during construction for the contractor to be observant for ground-water
seepage in excavations ir� order to assess the situation and take appropriate action.
4.0 FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS
4,1 General Faundation Considerations
Two irtdependent design criteria must be satisfied in the selection of the type of foundation to
support the proposed structures. First, the ultimate bearirtg capacity, reduced by a sufficient factor
af safety, must not be exceeded by the bearing pressure transferred to tt�e fouridatiort soils.
Secorld, due to consolidation or expansion of the underlying soils during the operating life of the
sfiructure, total and differential vertical movements must be withirl tolerable limits.
4.2 Mat Faundations
4.2.1 Vault Structure Foundation Desian Criteria
A reir�forced concrete mat/slab fourtdation may be used to support structural loads for the vault
structures. The meter vault foundation may be founded at approximately 6 feet below existirig
gr�de using the foilowir�g mat/siab foundation allowable bearing pressures:
Allowabie Potential Moisture
Boring No. Bearing Material Bearing Pressure It1duced
(psf) Movement (ir1.)
B-1, B-2 Hard, dark brown Sandy Siity Clay 2,500 3
B-3, B-4 Tan Limestone or gray Shale w/ $ D�d Negligible
limestone seams
Four�dations �roportiotled for these values and founded at or below 6 feet below existin� grade are
estimated to experience total potential moisture induced movemerits as tabulated above and
Report No. 103-10-117 CMJ ENGINEERING, Itvc.
5
differential movements of approximately three-quarters of the total value. If so desired, methods to
reduce moisture induced movement are presented in Section 4.2.2 in the area of Borings B-1 and
B-2.
The mat design should incorporate the potential for hydrostatic uplift effects of a shailow water
table if water is ailowed to trap behind vauit walls or under the mat as perched water.
Depending on the time of year and the general weather conditions,. the excavation and placement
of the mat/slab foundation may be in a wet soil condition. If the construction occurs in a wet
condition, issues of dewatering of excavations, strength/stability of side slopes, and disfiurbance of
bearing materials become important, particularly in the area of Borings B-1 and B-2. In addition,
any water table encountered should be lowered to a depfih of 2 feet below the proposed
excavation. Due to the great variability of moisture condition, the presence of excess moisture in
soils cannot be predicted.
Mat foundations proportioned for this value should experience a fiatal settlement of 3/ inch or less,
and a differential settlement of �/Z inch or less, after construction.
4.2.2 Below Grade Floor Slabs (,Borinqs B-1 and 8-2)
Based on a 6 foot deep excavation depth and the conditions encountered in Borings B-1 and B-2,
excavations for the below grade level will be situated in moderately active to highly active sandy
silty clays and silty clays (Borings B-1 and B-2) or within hard to very hard tan limestone (Borings
B-3 and B-4). Slabs placed at the 6-foot level in Borings B-3 and B-4 will be subject to negligible
potential moisture induced movements. Slabs placed at this same depth in Borings B-1 and B-2
will be subject to potential moisture induced movements on the order of 3 inches. Subgrade
preparation measures, as recommended below for Borings B-1 and B-2 locations, should reduce
potential movements to on the order of one inch.
In general, the procedure of inechanically reworking the clays with 1 foot of select fill is perFormed
as follows:
1. Remove all existing pavements, surf'ace vegetation, trees and associated root mats, organic
topsoil and any other deleterious material.
2. Excavate to a minimum of 7.5 feet below final pad grade. Scarify the exposed subgrade at the
base of the excavation to a depth of 8 inches, adjust the moisture, and compact at a minimum
Report No. 103-10-117 CMJ ENGIIVEERING, Itvc.
6
of 2 percentage points above optimum moisture to between 93 and 98 percent Standard
Proctor density (ASTM D 698). Over-compaction should not be allowed.
3. Fill pad to 1 foot below finai pad grade (anticipated at 6 feet below existing grade) using site
ex�avated or similar clay soils. Compact in maximum 9-inch loose lifts at a minimum of 2
percentage points above optimum moisture to between 93 and 98 percent Star�dard Proctor
density (ASTM D 698). Over-compaction should not be allowed.
4. Complete pad fill using a minimum of 1 foot of sandy clay/ciayey sand non-expansive select fiil
with a Liquid Limit less than 35 and a Plasticity Index (PI) between 5 and 16. The select fill
shouid be compacted in maximum 9-inch loose lifts at minus 2 to plus 3 percentage points of
the soil's optimum moisture content at a minimum of 95 percent of Standard Proctor density
(ASTM D 698). The select fill should be placed within 48 hours of completing the installation of
the moisture conditioned soils.
The oniy method ofi preventing hydrostatic pressures and wet spots on the below grade floor slabs
is to provide a subfloor drainage system. The drains should be sifivated a minimum of 8 inches
lower than the slab. This can be accomplished by placing the drains near the bottom of a uniform
bed of gravel or by placing the drain lines in firenches connected by a gravel bed at least 6 inches
thick. Filter fabric should be used to separate the drainage material from the natural soils. If this
option is utilized in conjunction with the mechanically reworking process discussed above, the
select fill thickness may be reduced to 6 incl�es. This system may be tied into the wali drainage
system, as discussed in Section 5.3.
4.2.3 Spread/Mat Foundation Construction
Foundation construction should be monitored by a representative of the geotechnicai engineer to
observe, among other things, the following items:
• Identification of bearing material
• Adequate penetrafiion of the foundatior� excavation itlto the bearing layer
• The base and sides of the excavation are clean of loose cuttings
• If seepage is encountered, whether it is of sufficient amount to require the use af
excavation dewatering methods
Precautions should be taken during the placement of reinforcing steel and concrete to prevent
loose, excavated soil from falling into the excavation. Concrete should be piaced as soon as
practical after completion of the excavating, cleaning, reinforcing steei placeilierlt and observation.
�xcavation for a spread foundation should be filled with concrete before the end of the warkday, or
sooner if required, to prevent deterioration of the bearing materiai. Prolonged expbsure or

inundation of the bearing surFace with water will resuit in changes in strength and compressibility
characteristics. (f delays occur, the excavation should be deepened as necessary and cleaned, in
order to provide a fresh bearing surface. If more than 24 hours of exposure of the bearing surface
is anticipated in the excavation, a mud slab should be used to protect the bearing surfaces. If a
mud slab is used, the foundation excavations should initially be over-excavated by approximately 4
inches and a lean concrete mud slab of approximately 4 inches in thickness should be placed in
the bottom of= the excavations immediately following exposure of the bearing �Urtace by
excavation. The mud slab will protect the bearing surface, maintain more uniform moisture in the
subgrade, facilitate dewatering of excavations if required, and provide a working surface for
placement of formwork and reinforcing steel,
The concrete should be placed in a manner that will prevent the concrete from striking the
reinforcing steel or the sides of the excavation in a manner that would cause segregation of the
concrete.
4.3 Expansive Soil Movements
The expansive soils encountered at this site can shrink and swell as the soil moisture content
fluctuates during seasonat wefi and dry cycles. Additionally, the site environment is impacted by
grading and drainage, landscaping, ground-water conditions, paving and many other factors which
affect the structure during and after construction. Therefare, the amount of soil movement is
difficult to determine due to the many unpredictable variables involved. The following estimates
are based on conditions, as if all recommendations are followed.
Estimates of soil movements for this site have been performed using data from the Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT) procedure TEX-124-E for estimating Potential Vertical Rise
(PVR), swell testing, and engineering judgment and experience. Vertical soil movements ranging
from approximately '/2 inch (Borings B-3 and B-4) to 4'/z inches (Boring B-1) have been estimated
for the clay soils in a dry condition for elements placed near existing graund surFace elevation.
The estimated soil movements are based on the subsurface conditions revealed by the borings
and on seasonal moisture fluctuations. Soil movements, significantly larger than estimated, could
occur due to in adequate site grading, poor drainage, ponding of rainfall, and/or leaking pipelines.

5.0 BELOW GRADE AREAS
5.1 General
The overburden soils can be excavated by conventionai methods including the use of large
backhoes, buildozers, track or wheel loaders. In Borings B-3 and B-4, the proposed vaults will be
situated within natural, intact, and massive tan limestone. These "rock" materials will require heavy
duty specialized equipment for excavafiion. !n addition, overexcavation should be anticipated
within the limestones. Overexcavation may result from large blocks or chunks breaking along
either weathered or clay searns beyond the planned excavation.
Temporary construction slopes of one horizontal to one vertical (1H:1V) for the overburde� soils
are recommended.
5.2 Lateral Earth Pressure
5.2.1 General
The below-grade walls must be designed for lateral pressures including, but not necessarily limited
to, earth, water, surcharge, swetling, and vibration. In addition, the lafieral pressures will be
influenced by whether the backfill is drained or undrained, and above or below the ground-wat�r
table.
5.2.2 Epuivalent Fluid Pressures
Lateral earth pressures on the below-grade walls will depend on a variety of factors, irtcluding the
type of soils behind the wall, the condition of the soils, and the drainage conditions behind the wall.
Recorrmended lateral earth pressures expressed as equivalent fluid pressures, per foot of wall
height, are presented in Table 5.2.2-1 for a wall with a level backfill behind the top of the wall. The
equivalent fluid pressure for ar� undrained condition should be used if a drainage systert� is not
present to ret'nove water trapped in the backfill and behind the wall. A ground-water level at the
finished grade elevation should be used for design of the below grade �tructures. Pressures are
provided for at-rest earth pressure conditions. In order to allow for an active condition the top of
the wall(s) must deflect on the order ofi 0.4 percent,
For the select fill or free draining granular backfill, these values assurr�e th�t a"full" wedge of tY�e
r�aterial is present behind the wall. The wedge is defined where the wall backfill limits extend
Report No. 103-10-117 CMJ BNGINEERING, INC.
9
outward at least 2 feefi from the base of the wall and then upward on a 1 H:2V slope. For narrower
backfiil widths of granular or select fill soils, the equivalent fluid pressures for the on-site soils
should be used.

5.2.3 Additional Lateral Pressures
The location and magnitude of permanent surcharge loads (if presen#) shouid be determined, and
the additional pressure generated by these loads such as the weight of construction equipment
and vehicular loads that are used at the time the structures are being built must also be considered
in the design. The effect of this or any other surcharge loading may be accounted for by adding an
additional uniform load to the full depth of the side walls equivalent to one-half of the expected
vertical surcharge intensity for select backfill materials, or equal to the full vertical surcharge
- intensity for clay backfill. The equivalent fluid pressures, given here, do not include a safety factor.
Analysis of surcharge loads (if any) should be performed on a case-by-case basis. This is not
included in the scope of this study. These services can be provided as additional services upon
request.
5.2.4 Wall Backfil! Material Repuirements
Excavated On-Site Clav: For wall backfill areas with site-excavated materials or similar imported
materials, all oversized fragments larger than four inches in maximum dimension should be
removed from the backfill materials prior to placement. The backfill should be free of all organic
and deleterious materials, and should be placed in maximurn 8-inch compacted lifts at a minimum
of 95 percent of Standard Proctor density (ASTM D 698) within a moisture range of plus fio minus
2 percentage points of optimum moisture. Compaction within five feet of the walls should be
Report No. 103-10-117 CMJ ENGINEERING, Irrc.
10
accomplished using hand compaction equipment, and should be between 90 and 95 percent of the
Standard Proctor density.
Select �'ili: Ali wall select backfill shouid cor�sist of clayey sand and/or sandy clay material with a
plasticity index of 16 or less, with a liquid limit not exceeding 35. The select filt should be placed in
maximurrt 8-inch Iifts and campacted to betweerl 95 and 10b percent of Star�dard Proctor density
(ASl`M D 698) within a moistur�� range of plus to minus 3 percentage points of the optimum
moisture. Compaction within five feet of the walls should be accorriplished using hand compaction
equipment and should be compacted between 90 and 95 percent of the Standard Procto� density,
Free DrainincLGranular Backfill: Afl free drainirlg granular wall backfill material should be a crushed
stone, sand/gravel mixture, or sand/crushed stane mi�ure. Tf�e material should have less than 3
percent passing the No. 200 sieve and less fihan 30 percent passing the No. 40 sieve. The minus
No. 40 sieve material should be r�on-plastic. Granular wall backfill should not be wafier jetted
during installafiion.
5.2.5 Buoyancv Effects
Buoyant effects must be considered. Unless a permanent drainage sysfiem is provided, the below-
grade structures should be designed to withstand full hydrostatic pressure below fihe ground-water
table. We recommend a water table at the surface be assumed for these calculations. For
buoyancy calculations, the unit weight of submerged soils can be assumed as 65 pcf.
5.3 Permanent Below-Grade Wall and Perimeter Drainage System
If drained conditions are desired in conjunction with a select fill material or site clays, fill placed
withir� 12 inches of the wall should consist of free-draining clean sand, gravel, or crushed
limestone. Fill placed outside the select fill wedge or free draining granular backfill wedge and
within one foot of the ground surface may consisfi of on-site clays placed in accordance with
applicable ccimpaction specifications.
A perimeter drain must be provided in conjunction with a drained condition. The bottom of the
drain should be situated a minimum of 8 inches lower than the adjacent below grade base slab.
The perimefier drain should be pzrforated or slotted with a minimum pipe diameter of 8 inches and
be wrapped in filter fabric for protection against infiltratiorl.
Report tVo. 103-10-117
CMJ ENGINGGRING, TNC.
11
Alternatively, in lieu of the 12 inch layer of free draining granular material adjacent to the wall, wall
drainage may be accomplished by the use of a geocomposite wall drain material attached to the
back of the walls. Perforated drains placed at the base of the geocomposite should be protected
by a minimum of 12 inches of free draining granular material.
6A CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
If sufficient space is available (in relation to adjacent structures) to provide a stable slope, an open
cut can be used. Refer to current OSHA 29 CFR Standards for recommended parameters for use
in the design of braced or sloped excavations.
If sufficient clearance is not available, then a braced excavation will most likely be required,
particularly where limestones are not present. The appropriate bracing system or shield should be
selected by the contractor, and should be configured to withstand the expected Iateral earth
pressures, and hydrostatic pressures ifi ground water is present, Shoring should be used for
excavation to support open cuts located where existing utilities are within a zone extending from
the base of the excavation upward at a 1 H:1V slope.
Surcharge loads, such as those resulfiing from excavation spoils and/or equipment, should be
placed no closer than two feet from the crest of the slope, in accordance with OSHA regulations.
All vehicle trafFic should be prohibited from at least five feet of the crest of the excavation.
Excavations should take into account any utilities to avoid undermining these featu�es.
The following guidelines are presented to aid in the development of the excavation plans:
1. Surface areas behind the crest of the excavations should be graded so that surface
water does not pond within 15 feet of the crest, nor drain into the excavation.
2. Heavy material stockpiles should not be placed near the crest af slopes. Similarly,
heavy construction equipment should not pass over or be parked within 10 feet of the
crest.
3. The crest of slapes should be continually monitored for evidence of movement or
potential problems. Freestanding slopes will become less stable than influenced by
ground water or saturation by rain.

7.0 ADDITIONAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
The foliowing information f�as been assirriilated after examination of numerous projects constructed
in active soiis throughout the area. It is presented here for your cohvenience. If these features are
incorpora#ed in the overall design of tYle project, the performarice of the structure should be
improved.
• It is re�ommended that any step-down, below grade walls, etc. be provided with suitable.
dewatering devices to reduce accumulated water.
• Specia( consideration should be given to completion items outside the building area, such
as stairs, sidewalks, signs, etc. They should be adequately designed to sustain the potential
vertical movetY`ients met�tioned in the report.
• Roof drai�lage should be collected by a system of gutters and downspouts and transmitted
away from the structure where the water can d�ain away without entering the building
subgrade.
• Sidewalks should not be structurally connected to the building pad. They should be sloped
away from the building so ttlat water will drain away from the structure..
• Every atkempt should be made to limit the e�reme wetting or drying of the subsurface soils
sir�ce swelling and shrinkage will result. Sfiandard construction practices of providing good
surFace water drainage should be used. A positive slope of the grour�d away from the
foundation should be provided to carry off the run-off water both during a�d after
construction.
• Backfill for utility lines or along the perimeter beams should consist of on-site material so
that they will be stable. If the backfill is too dense or too dry, sw�lling may form a mound
along the ditch line. If the backfill is too loose or too wet, settlement may form a sink alo�g
the ditch line. Either case is undesirable since several inches of movement is possible and
floor cracks are likely to result. The soils should be processed using tY�e previously
discussed compaction criteria.
• It is recommended that perimeter vegetation be placed 5+ feet away frofn the building. Any
excavations for vegetation also should have their base sloped down and away from the
building.
• Irrigation systems should not be placed adjacent to the building or a perimeter sidewalk.
Main piping should be outside these areas and should spray toward vegetation fidward the
buildir�g.
• The floor slab placed at or below existing grades should be provided with a moisture barrier
in order to prevent wet spots.
8.0 SEISMIC CONSIDERATIONS
Based on the conditions encountered in the boring for the above refierenced project fihe tBC-2006
site classification is i'YPE D for seismic evaluation.
Report (Vo. 103-10-117
CMJ ENGINEERING, INC.

• � .- �-
9.1 Site Preparation
The subgrade should be firm and able to support the construction equipment without displacement.
' Soft or yielding subgrade should be corrected and made stable before construction proceeds. The
subgrade should be proof rolled to detect soft spots, which if exist, should be excavated to provide
a firm and otherwise suitable subgrade. Proof `olling should be performed using a heavy
:i
pneumatic tired roller, loaded dump truck, or similar piece of equipment. The proof rolling
operations should be observed by the project geqtechnical engineer or his/her representative.
9.2 Placement and Compaction
Fill material should be placed in loose lifts not exceeding 8 inches in uncompacted thickness. The
uncompacted lift thickness should be reduced to 4 inches for structure backfill zones requiring
hand-operated power compactors or small self-propelled compactors. The fill material should be
uniform with respecfi ta material type and moisture content. Clods and chunks of material should
be broken down and the fill material mixed by disking, blading, or plowing, as necessary, so that a
material of unifiorm moisture and density is obtained for each liffi. Water required for sprinkling to
bring the fill material to the proper moisture content should be applied evenly through each layer.
The on-site soils are suitable for use in general site grading. Imported fill material under the
structures should be flexible base or graded stone and no rock greater than 4 inches in maximum
dimension. The fill materials should be free of vegetation and debris.
Flexible base or soil fill material should be compacted to a minimum density of 95 percent of
maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D 698, Standard Proctor. Graded stone should be
compacted to a minimum of 70 percent relative density per ASTM D 4253 and D 4254. In
conjunction with the compacting operation, the fill material should be brought to the proper
moisture content. The moisture content for general earth fill should range from 2 percentage
poinfs below optimum to 5 percentage points above optimum (-2 to +5). These ranges of moisture
contents are given as maximum recommended ranges. For some soils and under some
conditions, the contractor may have to maintain a more narrow range of moisture content (within
the recommended range) in order to consistently achieve the recommended density.
Report No. 103-10-117 CMJ ErvcitvEERirrc, Irrc.
14
Field density tests should be taken as each lift of fill material is placed. As a guide, one field
density test per lift for each 5,000 square feet of compacted area is recommended, For small areas
- or critical areas the frequency of testing may need to be increased to one test per 2,500 square
feet, A minir�'ium of 2 tests per lift should be required. The earthwork operations should be
observed and tested on a continuir�g basis by an experien�ed geotechnician working in conjunction
with the project geotechnical engineer.
Each lift should be compacted, tested, and approved before another lift is added. "fhe purpose of
tfie field densify tests is to provide some indication that ur�iform and adequate compaction is being
obtained. 7he acfival quality of the fifl, as compacted, should be the responsibility of the contractor
and satisfactory results from the tests should not be considered as a guara�►tee of the quality of the
contra�tor's filling operations.
9.3 Trench Backfill
Trench backfill for pipelines or other utilities should be properly placed and compacted. Overly
dense or dry backfill can swell and create a rriound along the completed trench line. Loose or wet
backfill can settle and form a depression along the completed trench line. Distress to overlying
structures, pavements, etc, is likely if heaving or settlement occurs. On-site soil fill material is
recommended for trench backfill. Care should be taken not to use free draining granular material,
to prevent the backfilled trench from becoming a french drain and piping surFace or subsurface
water beneath structures, pipelines, or pavements. If a higher class bedding material is required
for the pipelines, a lean concrete bedding will limit water intrusion into the trench and will not
require compactior� after placement. The soif backfill should be placed in approximately 4- to 6-
inch loose lifts. The density and moisture content should be as recbmmended for fill in Section 9.2,
Placement and Compaction, of this report. A minimum of one field density test should be takeh per
lift for each 150 linear feet of trench, with a minimum of 2 tests per lift.
9.4 Excavation
The side slopes of excavations through the overburden soils should be made in such a manner to
provide for their stability during construction. Existing strucfures, pipelines or other facilities, whici�
are constructed prior ta or during the currently proposed construction and whicH require
excavation, should be protected from loss of and bearing or lateral support.
Repott No, 103-10-117 CMJ ENGINEERING, Irrc.
15
Temporary construction slopes and/or permanent embankment slopes should be protected from
; surface runoff water. Site grading should be designed to allow drainage at planned areas where
' erosion protection is provided, instead of allowing surface water to flow down unprotected slopes.
Permanent slopes at the site should be as flat as practical to reduce creep and occurrence of
shallow slides. The following slope angies are recommended as maximums. The presented
angles refer to the total height of a slop�. Site improvement shouid be maintained away from the
top of the siope to reduce the possibility of damage due to creep or shallow slides.
Height (ft.} Horizontal to Vertical
0-3 1:1
3-6 2:1
6-9 3:1
> 9 4:1
9.5 Acceptance of Imported Fill
Any soil imported from off-site sources should be tested for compliance with the recommendations
for the pa�ticular application and approved by the project geotechnical engineer prior to the
materials being used. The owner should also require the contractor to obtain a written, notarized
certifiication from the landowner of each proposed off-site soil borrow source stating that to the best
of the landowner's knowledge and belief there has never been contamination of the borrow source
site with hazardous or toxic materials. The certification should be furnished to the owner prior to
proceeding to furnish soils to the site. Soil materials derived from the excavation of underground
petroleum storage tanks should not be used as fill on this project.
9.6 Soil Corrosion Potential
Specific testing for soil corrosion potential was not included in the scope of this study. However,
based upon past experience on other projects in the vicinity, the soils at this site may be corrosive.
Standard construction practices for protecting metal pipe and similar facilities in contact with these
soils should be used.
Report No. 103-10-117
CMJ ENGINEERING, TNC.
16
9.7 Erosion and Sediment Control
Ail disturbed areas should be protected from erosion and sedimentation during construction, and
ali permar�ent slopes and other areas subject to erosion or sedimentatio� should be provided with
permanent erosion and sediment control facilities. Ail applicabie ordinances and codes regarding
erosion and sediment control shouid be followed.
9.8 Utilities
Care should be taken that utility cuts are not left open for extended periods, and thafi the cuts are
properly backfilled. Backfilling should be accomplished with properly compacted on-site soils,
rather than granular materials. A positive cut-off at the building line is recommended to help
prevent water from migrating in the utility trench backfill,
Trench excavations should be sloped or braced in the interest of safety. Attenkion is drawn to
OSHA Safety and Health Standards (29 CFR 1926/1910), Subpart P, regarding trench excavations
greater than 5 feet in depth.
10.0 CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATIONS
In any geoteehnical investigafiion, the design recommendatiorts are based on a limited amount of
informatior� about the subsurFace conditions. In the analysis, the geotechnical engineer must
assume the subsurFace conditior�s are similar to the conditions encountered in the borings.
However, quite often during construction anomalies in the subsurFace conditions are revealed.
Tl�er�fore, it is recommended that CMJ Engi�leering, Inc. be retained to observe earthwork and
foundation installation and perForm materials evaluation during the construction phase of the
projecfi. This enables the geotechnical engineer to stay abreast of the project ar�d to be readily
available �o evaluate unanticipated conditions, to conduct addifiional tests if required and, wflen
r�ecessary, to recommend alternative solutions to unanticipated conditions. Until these
construction phase services are performed by the project geotechnical engineer, the
recommendations contained in this report on such items as final foundation bearing elevations,
proper soil moisture condition, and other such subsurface related recammendations should be
considered as preliminary.
f�e�ort No. 103-10-117 CMJ ENGINHERING, Irrc.
17
' It is proposed that construction phase observation and materials testing commence by the project
geotechnical engineer at the outset of the project. Experience has shown that the most suitabie
method for procuring these services is for fhe owner or the owner's design engineers to contract
directly with the project geotechnical engineer. This results in a clear, direct line of communication
between the owner and the owner's design engineers and the geotechnical engineer.
11.4 REPORT CLOSURE
The boring logs shown in this report contain information related to the types of soil encountered at
speeific locations and times and show lines delineating the interface between these materials. The
logs also contain our field representative's interpretation of conditions that are believed to exist in
those depth intervals between the actual samples taken. Therefore, thes� boring logs contain both
factual and interpretive information. Laboratory soil classification tests were also perFormed on
samples from selected depths in the borings. The results of these tests; along with visual-manual
procedures were used to generally classify each stratum. Therefore, it should be understood that
the classification data on the log of boring represent visual esfiimates of classifications for those
portions of each stratum on which the full range of laboratory soil classification tests were not
perFormed. It i's not implied that these logs are representative of subsurface conditions at other
locations and times.
With regard to ground-water conditions, this repart presents data on ground-water levels as they
were observed during the course of the field work. In particular, water level readings have been
made in the borings at the times and under conditions stated in the text af the repork and on the
boring logs. It should be noted that fluctuations in the level of the ground-water table can occur
with passage of time due to variations in rainfall, temperature and other factors. Also, this report
does not include quantitative information on rates of f'ow of ground water into excavations, on
pumping capacities necessary to dewater the excavations, or on methods of dewatering
excavations. Unanticipated soil conditions at a construction site are commonly encountered and
cannot be fully predicted by mere soil samples, test borings or test pits, Such unexpected
conditions frequently require that additional expenditures be made by the owner to attain a properly
designed and constructed project. Therefore, provision for some contingency fund is
recommended to accommodate such potential extra cost.
Report No. 103-10-117
CMJ ENGINEERING, INC.
18
Tf1e analyses, conclusior�s and recommendations contained in #his report are based on site
conditions as they existed at the time of our field investigation and further on the assumption that
the exploratory borings are representative of the subsurFace conditions throughout the site; that is,
the subsurface conditions everywhere are not significantly different from those disclosed by the
borings at the time they were completed. If, during construction, different subsurFace conditions
from those encountered in our borings are observed, or appear to be present in excavations, we
must be advised promptly so that we can review �I-rese conditions and reconsider our
recommendations where necessary. If there is a substantial lapse of time between submission of
this report and the start of the work at the site, if conditions have changed due either to natural
causes or to construction operations at or adjacent to the site, or if structure locations, structural
loads or finish grades are changed, we urge that we be promptly informed and retained to review
aur report fio determine #he applicability of the conclusions and recommendations, considering the
changed conditions and/or time lapse.
Further, it is urged that CMJ Engineering, Inc. be retained to review those portions of the plans and
specifications for this particular project that pertain to earthwork and foundations as a means to
determine whether the plans and specifications are consistent with the recommendations
contained in this report. In addifiion, we are available to observe construction, particularly the
compaction of structural fill, or backfill and the construction of foundations as recomn`�ended in the
report, and such other field observatians as might be necessary.
The scope of our services did not include any environmental assessment or investigation for the
presence or absence of wetlands or hazardous or toxic materials in the soil, surface water, ground
water or air, on or below or around the site.
This report has been prepared for use in developing an overall design concept. Paragraphs,
statements; fiest results, boring logs, diagrams, etc, should not be taken out of context, nor utilized
without a knowledge and awareness of their intent within the overall concept of this report. Tfie
reproduction of this report, or any part thereof, supplied to persons other than the owner, shoWld
indicate that this study was made for design purposes only and that verification of' the subsurface
conditions for purposes of determining difficulty of excavation, trafficability, etc. are responsibilities
of the contractor.
