Other overhead or general expense costs of any kind. C. Contractor's Fee: When all the Work is performed on the basis of cost-plus, Contractor's fee shall be determined as set forth in the Agreement. When the value of any Work covered by a Change Order for an adjustment in Contract Price is determined on the basis of Cost of the Work, Contractor's fee shall be determined as set forth in Paragraph 12.01.C.

Specified Allowance: It is understood that Contractor has included in the Contract Price all allowances so named in the Contract Documents and shall cause the Work so covered to be performed for such sums and by such persons or entities as may be acceptable to City. B. Pre -bid Allowances: 1. Contractor agrees that: CITY OF FORT WORTH STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Revision: September 1, 2025 007200-1 GENERAL CONDITIONS Page 44 of 63 a. the pre -bid allowances include the cost to Contractor of materials and equipment required by the allowances to be delivered at the Site, and all applicable taxes; and b.

C. Contingency Allowance: Contractor agrees that a contingency allowance, if any, is for the sole use of City. D. Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change Order will be issued to reflect actual amounts due Contractor on account of Work covered by allowances, and the Contract Price shall be correspondingly adjusted. 11.03 UnitPrice Work A. Where the Contract Documents provide that all or part of the Work is to be Unit Price Work, initially the Contract Price will be deemed to include for all Unit Price Work an amount equal to the sum of the unit price for each separately identified item of Unit Price Work times the estimated quantity of each item as indicated in the Agreement. B. The estimated quantities of items of Unit Price Work are not guaranteed and are solely for the purpose of comparison of Bids and determining an initial Contract Price. Determinations of the actual quantities and classifications of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor will be made by City subject to the provisions of Paragraph 9.05. C. Each unit price will be deemed to include an amount considered by Contractor to be adequate to cover Contractor's overhead and profit for each separately identified item. Work described in the Contract Documents, or reasonably inferred as required for a functionally complete installation, but not identified in the listing of unit price items shall be considered incidental to unit price work listed and the cost of incidental work included as part of the unit price. D. City may make an adjustment in the Contract Price in accordance with Paragraph 12.01 if- 1. the quantity of any item of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor differs materially and significantly from the estimated quantity of such item indicated in the Agreement; and 2. there is no corresponding adjustment with respect to any other item of Work. E. Increased or Decreased Quantities: The City reserves the right to order Extra Work in accordance with Paragraph 10.01. 1. If the changes in quantities or the alterations do not significantly change the character of work under the Contract Documents, the altered work will be paid for at the Contract unit price. CITY OF FORT WORTH STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Revision: September 1, 2025 00 72 00 - 1 GENERAL CONDITIONS Page 45 of 63 2. If the changes in quantities or alterations significantly change the character of work, the Contract will be amended by a Change Order. 3. If no unit prices exist, this will be considered Extra Work and the Contract will be amended by a Change Order in accordance with Article 12. 4. A significant change in the character of work occurs when: a. the character of work for any Item as altered differs materially in kind or nature from that in the Contract or b. a Major Item of work varies by more than 25% from the original Contract quantity. 5. When the quantity of work to be done under any Major Item of the Contract is more than 125% of the original quantity stated in the Contract, then either party to the Contract may request an adjustment to the unit price on the portion of the work that is above 125%. 6. When the quantity of work to be done under any Major Item of the Contract is less than 75% of the original quantity stated in the Contract, then either party to the Contract may request an adjustment to the unit price. 11.04 Plans Quantity Measurement A. Plans quantities may or may not represent the exact quantity of work performed or material moved, handled, or placed during the execution of the Contract. The estimated bid quantities are designated as final payment quantities, unless revised by the governing Section or this Article. B. If the quantity measured as outlined under "Price and Payment Procedures" varies by more than 25% (or as stipulated under "Price and Payment Procedures" for specific Items) from the total estimated quantity for an individual Item originally shown in the Contract Documents, an adjustment may be made to the quantity of authorized work done for payment purposes. The party to the Contract requesting the adjustment will provide field measurements and calculations showing the final quantity for which payment will be made. Payment for revised quantity will be made at the unit price bid for that Item, except as provided for in Article 10. C. When quantities are revised by a change in design approved by the City, by Change Order, or to correct an error, or to correct an error on the plans, the plans quantity will be increased or decreased by the amount involved in the change, and the 25% variance will apply to the new plans quantity. D. If the total Contract quantity multiplied by the unit price bid for an individual Item is less than $250 and the Item is not originally a plans quantity Item, then the Item may be paid as a plans quantity Item if the City and Contractor agree in writing to fix the final quantity as a plans quantity. CITY OF FORT WORTH STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Revision: September 1, 2025 00 72 00 - 1 GENERAL CONDITIONS Page 46 of 63 E. For callout work or non -site specific Contracts, the plans quantity measurement requirements are not applicable. ARTICLE 12 — CHANGE OF CONTRACT PRICE; CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIME 12.01 Change of Contract Price A. The Contract Price may only be changed by a Change Order. B. The value of any Work covered by a Change Order will be determined as follows: 1. where the Work involved is covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents, by application of such unit prices to the quantities of the items involved (subject to the provisions of Paragraph 11.03); or 2. where the Work involved is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents, by a mutually agreed lump sum or unit price (which may include an allowance for overhead and profit not necessarily in accordance with Paragraph 12.0l.C.2), and shall include the cost of any secondary impacts that are foreseeable at the time of pricing the cost of Extra Work; or 3. where the Work involved is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents and agreement to a lump sum or unit price is not reached under Paragraph 12.0l.B.2, on the basis of the Cost of the Work (determined as provided in Paragraph 11.01) plus a Contractor's fee for overhead and profit (determined as provided in Paragraph 12.01.Q. C. Contractor's Fee: The Contractor's additional fee for overhead and profit shall be determined as follows: 1. a mutually acceptable fixed fee; or 2. if a fixed fee is not agreed upon, then a fee based on the following percentages of the various portions of the Cost of the Work: a. for costs incurred under Paragraphs 11.0l.A.1, 11.0l.A.2. and 11.0l.A.3, the Contractor's additional fee shall be 15 percent except for: 1) rental fees for Contractor's own equipment using standard rental rates; 2) bonds and insurance; b. for costs incurred under Paragraph 11.01.A.4 and 11.0l.A.5, the Contractor's fee shall be five percent (5%); 1) where one or more tiers of subcontracts are on the basis of Cost of the Work plus a fee and no fixed fee is agreed upon, the intent of Paragraphs 12.0l.C.2.a and 12.0l.C.2.b is that the Subcontractor who actually performs the Work, at whatever CITY OF FORT WORTH STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Revision: September 1, 2025 00 72 00 - 1 GENERAL CONDITIONS Page 47 of 63 tier, will be paid a fee of 15 percent of the costs incurred by such Subcontractor under Paragraphs 11.0l.A.1 and 11.0l.A.2 and that any higher tier Subcontractor and Contractor will each be paid a fee of five percent (5%) of the amount paid to the next lower tier Subcontractor, however in no case shall the cumulative total of fees paid be in excess of 25%; c. no fee shall be payable on the basis of costs itemized under Paragraphs 11.0l.A.6, and 11.01.13; d. the amount of credit to be allowed by Contractor to City for any change which results in a net decrease in cost will be the amount of the actual net decrease in cost plus a deduction in Contractor's fee by an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such net decrease. 12.02 Change of Contract Time A. The Contract Time may only be changed by a Change Order. B. No extension of the Contract Time will be allowed for Extra Work or for claimed delay unless the Extra Work contemplated or claimed delay is shown to be on the critical path of the Project Schedule or Contractor can show by Critical Path Method analysis how the Extra Work or claimed delay adversely affects the critical path. 12.03 Delays A. Where Contractor is reasonably delayed in the performance or completion of any part of the Work within the Contract Time due to delay beyond the control of Contractor, the Contract Time may be extended in an amount equal to the time lost due to such delay if a Contract Claim is made therefor. Delays beyond the control of Contractor shall include, but not be limited to, acts or neglect by City, acts or neglect of utility owners or other contractors performing other work as contemplated by Article 7, fires, floods, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions, or acts of God. Such an adjustment shall be Contractor's sole and exclusive remedy for the delays described in this Paragraph. B. If Contractor is delayed, City shall not be liable to Contractor for any claims, costs, losses, or damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) sustained by Contractor on or in connection with any other project or anticipated project. C. Contractor shall not be entitled to an adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Time for delays within the control of Contractor. Delays attributable to and within the control of a Subcontractor or Supplier shall be deemed to be delays within the control of Contractor. D. The Contractor shall receive no compensation for delays or hindrances to the Work, except when direct and unavoidable extra cost to the Contractor is caused by the failure of the City to provide information or material, if any, which is to be furnished by the City. CITY OF FORT WORTH STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Revision: September 1, 2025 00 72 00 - 1 GENERAL CONDITIONS Page 48 of 63 ARTICLE 13 — TESTS AND INSPECTIONS; CORRECTION, REMOVAL OR ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK 13.01 Notice of Defects Notice of all defective Work of which City has actual knowledge will be given to Contractor.

Contractor shall give City timely notice of readiness of the Work for all required inspections, tests, or approvals and shall cooperate with inspection and testing personnel to facilitate required inspections or tests. B. If Contract Documents, Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction require any of the Work (or part thereof) to be inspected, tested, or approved, Contractor shall assume full responsibility for arranging and obtaining such independent inspections, tests, retests or approvals, pay all costs in connection therewith, and furnish City the required certificates of inspection or approval; excepting, however, those fees specifically identified in the Supplementary Conditions or any Texas Department of Licensure and Regulation (TDLR) inspections, which shall be paid as described in the Supplementary Conditions.

Such inspections, tests, re -tests, or approvals shall be performed by organizations acceptable to City. D. City may arrange for the services of an independent testing laboratory ("Testing Lab") to perform any inspections or tests ("Testing") for any part of the Work, as determined solely by City. 1.

Any amounts owed for any retest under this Section 13.03 D shall be paid directly to the Testing Lab by Contractor. City will forward all invoices for retests to Contractor. 4. If Contractor fails to pay the Testing Lab, City will not issue Final Payment until the Testing Lab is paid. E.

Promptly after receipt of written notice, Contractor shall correct all defective Work pursuant to an acceptable schedule, whether or not fabricated, installed, or completed, or, if the Work has been rejected by City, remove it from the Project and replace it with Work that is not defective. Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, additional testing, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) arising out of or relating to such correction or removal (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others). Failure to require the removal of any defective Work shall not constitute acceptance of such Work. B. When correcting defective Work under the terms of this Paragraph 13.06 or Paragraph 13.07, Contractor shall take no action that would void or otherwise impair City's special warranty and guarantee, if any, on said Work. 13.07 Correction Period A. If within two (2) years after the date of Final Acceptance (or such longer period of time as may be prescribed by the terms of any applicable special guarantee required by the Contract Documents), any Work is found to be defective, or if the repair of any damages to the land or areas made available for Contractor's use by City or permitted by Laws and Regulations as contemplated in Paragraph 6.10.A is found to be defective, Contractor shall promptly, without cost to City and in accordance with City's written instructions: 1. repair such defective land or areas; or 2. correct such defective Work; or 3. if the defective Work has been rejected by City, remove it from the Project and replace it with Work that is not defective, and 4. satisfactorily correct or repair or remove and replace any damage to other Work, to the work of others or other land or areas resulting therefrom.

D. Where defective Work (and damage to other Work resulting therefrom) has been corrected or removed and replaced under this Paragraph 13.07, the correction period hereunder with respect to such Work may be required to be extended for an additional period of one year after the end of the initial correction period. City shall provide 30 days written notice to Contractor should such additional warranty coverage be required. Contractor may dispute this requirement by filing a Contract Claim, pursuant to Paragraph 10.06. E.

The provisions of this Paragraph 13.07 shall not be construed as a substitute for, or a waiver of, the provisions of any applicable statute of limitation or repose. 13.08 Acceptance of Defective Work If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, City prefers to accept it, City may do so. Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or other dispute resolution costs) attributable to City's evaluation of and determination to accept such defective Work and for the diminished value of the Work to the extent not otherwise paid by Contractor. If any such acceptance occurs prior to Final Acceptance, a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work, and City shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, reflecting the diminished value of Work so accepted. 13.09 City May Correct Defective Work A. If Contractor fails within a reasonable time after written notice from City to correct defective Work, or to remove and replace rejected Work as required by City in accordance with Paragraph 13.06.A, or if Contractor fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, or if Contractor fails to comply with any other provision of the Contract Documents, City may, after seven (7) days written notice to Contractor, correct, or remedy any such deficiency.

D. Contractor shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Time because of any delay in the performance of the Work attributable to the exercise of City's rights and remedies under this Paragraph 13.09.

Contractor is responsible for providing all information as required to become a vendor of the City. 2. At least 20 days before the date established in the General Requirements for each progress payment, Contractor shall submit to City for review an Application for Payment filled out and signed by Contractor covering the Work completed as of the date of the Application and accompanied by such supporting documentation as is required by the Contract Documents. 3.

City will, after receipt of each Application for Payment, either indicate in writing a recommendation of payment or return the Application to Contractor indicating reasons for refusing payment. In the latter case, Contractor may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application. 2. City's processing of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will be based on City's observations of the executed Work, and on City's review of the Application for Payment and the accompanying data and schedules, that to the best of City's knowledge: a. the Work has progressed to the point indicated; b. the quality of the Work is generally in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Final Acceptance, the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents, a final determination of quantities and classifications for Work performed under Paragraph 9.05, and any other qualifications stated in the recommendation). 3. Processing any such payment will not thereby be deemed to have represented that: a. inspections made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work as it has been performed have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect of the Work in progress, or involved detailed inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to City in the Contract Documents; or b. there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle Contractor to be paid additionally by City or entitle City to withhold payment to Contractor; or c. Contractor has complied with Laws and Regulations applicable to Contractor's performance of the Work. 4. City may refuse to process the whole or any part of any payment because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests, and revise or revoke any such payment previously made, to such extent as may be necessary to protect City from loss because: a. the Work is defective or completed Work has been damaged by the Contractor or subcontractors requiring correction or replacement; b. discrepancies in quantities contained in previous applications for payment; 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 Paragraph 13.09; or CITY OF FORT WORTH STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Revision: September 1, 2025 00 72 00 - 1 GENERAL CONDITIONS Page 54 of 63 e.

For contracts less than $400,000 at the time of execution, retainage shall be ten percent (10%). 2. For contracts greater than $400,000 at the time of execution, retainage shall be five percent (5%). D. Liquidated Damages. For each calendar day that any work shall remain uncompleted after the time specified in the Contract Documents, the sum per day specified in the Agreement will be assessed against the monies due the Contractor, not as a penalty, but as damages suffered by the City. E. Payment: Contractor will be paid pursuant to the requirements of this Article 14 and payment will become due in accordance with the Contract Documents. F. Reduction in Payment: 1. City may refuse to make payment of the amount requested because: a. Liens have been filed in connection with the Work, except where Contractor has delivered a specific bond satisfactory to City to secure the satisfaction and discharge of such Liens; b. there are other items entitling City to a set-off against the amount recommended; or c. City has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in Paragraphs 14.02.B.4.a through 14.02.B.4.e or Paragraph 15.02.A. 2. If City refuses to make payment of the amount requested, City will give Contractor written notice stating the reasons for such action and pay Contractor any amount remaining after deduction of the amount so withheld. City shall pay Contractor the amount so withheld, or any adjustment thereto agreed to by City and Contractor, when Contractor remedies the reasons for such action. 14.03 Contractor's Warranty of Title Contractor warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials, and equipment covered by any Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to City no later than the time of payment free and clear of all Liens.

Partial Utilization will not constitute Final Acceptance by City. 14.05 Final -Inspection A. Upon written notice from Contractor that the entire Work is Substantially Complete in accordance with the Contract Documents: 1. Within 10 days, City will schedule a Final Inspection with Contractor. 2. City will notify Contractor in writing of all particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete or defective ("Punch List Items").

CITY OF FORT WORTH STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Revision: September 1, 2025 00 72 00 - 1 GENERAL CONDITIONS Page 58 of 63 15.02 City May Terminate for Cause A. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events by way of example, but not of limitation, may justify termination for cause: 1. Contractor's persistent failure to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents (including, but not limited to, failure to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment, failure to adhere to the Project Schedule established under Paragraph 2.07 as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Paragraph 6.04, or failure to adhere to the City's Business Diversity Enterprise Ordinance #20020-12-2011established under Paragraph 6.06.D); 2. Contractor's disregard of Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction; 3. Contractor's repeated disregard of the authority of City; or 4. Contractor's violation in any substantial way of any provisions of the Contract Documents; or 5. Contractor's failure to promptly make good any defect in materials or workmanship, or defects of any nature, the correction of which has been directed in writing by the City; or 6. Substantial indication that the Contractor has made an unauthorized assignment of the Contract or any funds due therefrom for the benefit of any creditor or for any other purpose; or 7. Substantial evidence that the Contractor has become insolvent or bankrupt, or otherwise financially unable to carry on the Work satisfactorily; or 8. Contractor commences legal action in a court of competent jurisdiction against the City. B. If one or more of the events identified in Paragraph 15.02A. occur, City will provide written notice to Contractor and Surety to arrange a conference with Contractor and Surety to address Contractor's failure to perform the Work. Conference shall be held not later than 15 days, after receipt of notice. 1. If the City, the Contractor, and the Surety do not agree to allow the Contractor to proceed to perform the construction Contract, the City may, to the extent permitted by Laws and Regulations, declare a Contractor default and formally terminate the Contractor's right to complete the Contract. Contractor default shall not be declared earlier than 20 days after the Contractor and Surety have received notice of conference to address Contractor's failure to perform the Work. 2. If Contractor's services are terminated, Surety shall be obligated to take over and perform the Work. If Surety does not commence performance thereof within 15 consecutive calendar days after date of an additional written notice demanding Surety's performance of its CITY OF FORT WORTH STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Revision: September 1, 2025 00 72 00 - 1 GENERAL CONDITIONS Page 59 of 63 obligations, then City, without process or action at law, may take over any portion of the Work and complete it as described below. a. If City completes the Work, City may exclude Contractor and Surety from the site and take possession of the Work, and all materials and equipment incorporated into the Work stored at the Site or for which City has paid Contractor or Surety but which are stored elsewhere, and finish the Work as City may deem expedient. 3. Whether City or Surety completes the Work, Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds all claims, costs, losses and damages sustained by City arising out of or resulting from completing the Work, such excess will be paid to Contractor. If such claims, costs, losses and damages exceed such unpaid balance, Contractor shall pay the difference to City. Such claims, costs, losses and damages incurred by City will be incorporated in a Change Order, provided that when exercising any rights or remedies under this Paragraph, City shall not be required to obtain the lowest price for the Work performed. 4. Neither City, nor any of its respective consultants, agents, officers, directors or employees shall be in any way liable or accountable to Contractor or Surety for the method by which the completion of the said Work, or any portion thereof, may be accomplished or for the price paid therefor. 5. City, notwithstanding the method used in completing the Contract, shall not forfeit the right to recover damages from Contractor or Surety for Contractor's failure to timely complete the entire Contract. Contractor shall not be entitled to any claim on account of the method used by City in completing the Contract. 6. Maintenance of the Work shall continue to be Contractor's and Surety's responsibilities as provided for in the bond requirements of the Contract Documents or any special guarantees provided for under the Contract Documents or any other obligations otherwise prescribed by law. C. Notwithstanding Paragraphs 15.02.13, Contractor's services will not be terminated if Contractor begins within seven days of receipt of notice of intent to terminate to correct its failure to perform and proceeds diligently to cure such failure within no more than 30 days of receipt of said notice. D. Where Contractor's services have been so terminated by City, the termination will not affect any 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. E. If and to the extent that Contractor has provided a performance bond under the provisions of Paragraph 5.02, the termination procedures of that bond shall not supersede the provisions of this Article.

In the event of the failure of the Contractor and City to agree upon the whole amount to be paid to the Contractor by reason of the termination of the Work, the City shall determine, on the basis of information available to it, the amount, if any, due to the Contractor by reason of the termination and shall pay to the Contractor the amounts determined. Contractor shall not be paid on account of loss of anticipated profits or revenue or other economic loss arising out of or resulting from such termination.

The planned improvement will include shade structures, pavements, and playground. This study was authorized on November 29, 2023, as part of the signing of Subconsultant Agreement between Arias and LJA Engineering. A Site Vicinity Map is provided in Appendix A as Figure 1 of this report. SCOPE OF SERVICES The scope of services for this Project was to: • Perform one (1) boring to obtain soil samples for subsequent laboratory testing, as well as to characterize subsurface stratigraphic and groundwater conditions. • Perform geotechnical laboratory testing on recovered samples to evaluate engineering properties of the subgrade materials, as well as for subsurface material characterization. • Present the results of the field and laboratory test data in this report. Environmental studies were not a part of our scope of services, nor was the completion of local or global stability analysis of any retaining walls. SOIL BORING AND LABORATORY TESTING Boring Location and Depths One (1) boring was drilled within the park area as shown in Table 1 below and on the Boring Location Plan provided in Appendix A as Figure 2. Table 1: Boring Depths and Locations Boring No. Latitude Longitude Depth, feet B-1 32' 44' 7.47" N 97° 30' 36.44" W 25 The boring was sampled in accordance with ASTM D1586 procedures for Split Spoon sampling techniques and in accordance with ASTM D 1587 thin wall tube sampling as described in Appendix C. A truck -mounted drill rig using continuous flight augers together with the sampling ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 1 Arias Job No. 2023-441 tool noted was used to secure the subsurface soil samples. Photographs are included in Appendix A, as Figure 4. Soil classifications and borehole logging were conducted during the exploration by our engineering technician working under the supervision of the Project Geotechnical Engineer. Final soil classifications, as seen on the boring logs included in Appendix B, were determined by the Senior Geotechnical Engineer based on laboratory and field test results and applicable ASTM procedures. A key to the terms and symbols used on the boring logs is also included in Appendix B. Laboratory Tests As a supplement to the field exploration, laboratory testing was performed to determine water content, Atterberg Limits, percent passing the US Standard No. 200 sieve, and unconfined compressive strength of soils. The laboratory testing for this project was performed in accordance with applicable ASTM procedures with the specifications and definitions for these tests listed in Appendix C. Remaining samples recovered from this exploration will be routinely discarded following submittal of this report. Results of the laboratory testing are depicted on the logs in Appendix B. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS Generalized stratigraphy and groundwater conditions are discussed in the following sections. The subsurface and groundwater conditions are based on observations at the boring locations to the depths explored during our field operations. Soil conditions may vary between the sample boring locations. Transition boundaries, or contacts, noted on the boring logs to separate soil types, are approximate. Actual contacts may be gradual and vary at different locations. If conditions encountered during construction indicate more variation than established as a result of this study, we should be contacted to evaluate the significance of the changed conditions relative to our recommendations. Geology The earth materials underlying the project site have been regionally mapped as Goodland Limestone & Walnut Clay (Kgw). In the Fort Worth area, the Goodland Limestone Formation (Kgw) is a white, fossiliferous, micritic, coarsely nodular, limestone that contains chert nodules. The bedding is massive with some thin clay beds with lateral & intergradational variation with Comanche Peak Limestone. The upper 5 feet is a fossiliferous, massive, limestone with oolites. The formation is medium to dark gray when fresh and weathers to a yellowish brown. ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 2 Arias Job No. 2023-441 Site Conditions Detailed laboratory and stratigraphy summaries for Boring B-1 are summarized in the following table.

Not applicable Groundwater A dry soil sampling method was used to obtain the soil samples at the project site. Groundwater was encountered at a depth of 15 ft during our field exploration on January 5, 2024, and the boring caved at 23 ft after completion. The open boreholes were backfilled using mixture of bentonite and soil cuttings generated from the drilling process. Groundwater levels will often change significantly over time and should be verified immediately prior to construction. Water levels in open boreholes may require several hours to several days to stabilize depending on the permeability of the soils. Groundwater levels at this site may differ during construction because fluctuations in groundwater levels can result from seasonal conditions, rainfall, drought, or temperature effects. Pockets or seams of gravels, sands, silts or open fractures and joints can store and transmit "perched" groundwater flow or seepage. Should dewatering become necessary, it is considered means and methods and is solely the responsibility of the contractor. MOISTURE VARIATIONS AND ESTIMATED MOVEMENT The native soils have moderate to high expansion (shrink/swell) characteristics. Expansive clays shrink when they lose water and swell or grow in volume when they gain water. The potential of expansive clays to shrink and swell is typically related to the Plasticity Index (PI). Clays with a higher PI generally have a greater potential for soil volume changes due to moisture content variations. Change in soil moisture is a highly important factor affecting the shrinking and swelling ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 3 Arias Job No. 2023-441 of clays. More pronounced movements are commonly observed when soils are exposed to extreme moisture fluctuations that occur between drought conditions and wet seasons. We estimated potential vertical movement for this site using the Tex-124-E method outlined by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The Tex-124-E method provides an estimate of potential vertical rise (PVR) using the liquid limits, plasticity indices, and existing water contents for soils. The PVR is estimated in the seasonally active zone, which was estimated at a 15-foot depth for this site. Based on this method, we estimate that the PVR is approximately 31/2 inches at this site for the existing conditions. Estimated PVRs are based upon assumed changes in soil moisture content from a dry to a wet condition; however, soil movements in the field depend on the actual changes in moisture content. Thus, actual soil movements could be less than that calculated if little soil moisture variations occur, or the actual movement could exceed the estimated values if actual soil moisture content changes exceed the wet limits outlined by the PVR method. Such moisture conditions that exceed the limits of the PVR method may be the result of extended droughts, flooding, perched groundwater infiltration, poor surface drainage, and/or leaking irrigation or plumbing lines. FOUNDATION DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Both shallow and deep foundation types are utilized in this area. Deep drilled piers are suited to buildings with moderate to heavy loading conditions, or for more movement -sensitive structures. A shallow foundation type consisting of a stiffened beam and slab -on -grade "waffle slab" is a common alternate approach for small to moderate size buildings. This foundation type is typically used for light to moderate loading conditions and can be more cost-effective than a deep foundation system. When founded within expansive soils, subgrade improvement is recommended in order to reduce potential soil and foundation movement to a magnitude acceptable to the owner and design team. Some aesthetic distress, such as floor tile, foundation and wall cracking, is normally acceptable by the owner and design team with this foundation alternative. The undocumented fills may remain in place if the building is supported on drilled piers and the floor slab is suspended. Building Foundation Types and Building Pad Recommendations A stiffened beam and slab -on -grade foundation can be used for the proposed structures, provided that site subgrade improvements are performed to reduce the PVR to approximately 1-inch. Criteria for a stiffened beam and slab -on -grade foundation are provided in this report. Alternately, deep foundations can be utilized for the support of the building with the undocumented fills remaining in place. ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 4 Arias Job No. 2023-441 Recommended Pad Improvement for an Approximate 1-inch PVR Building pad preparation requirements on clayey sites depend as much on the soil moisture condition at the time of construction as on the expansive properties of the clay. Typically, the geotechnical engineer does not know the climate conditions that will exist at the time of construction since he does not know when the structure will be built. Therefore, having the geotechnical engineer retained to review site preparation recommendations and be an active participant in Team Meetings near the time of construction can often result in project cost savings since soil moisture conditions at the time of construction could be more accurately assessed. Additionally, it has been our experience that retaining the same firm for both geotechnical engineering services and construction materials testing is prudent since the geotechnical engineer is most familiar with site conditions and can quickly respond to field challenges. We understand that a desired PVR of about 1-inch is an acceptable amount of movement for the proposed structure and the recommendations provided in this report are based on this premise. Although this is typically an acceptable magnitude of movement for this type of project, it should be understood that a 1-inch PVR can result in some cracking requiring periodic maintenance; but the structural integrity of the building should be maintained. If project requirements dictate a different magnitude of PVR, we should be informed so that modifications to our recommendations may be made. The shade structure pad, plus a 5-foot wide overbuild or greater to include adjacent flatwork, should be stripped of vegetation and excavated, as necessary, to provide the required select fill thickness beneath the slab. If subgrade improvements are not made beneath the entryways and surrounding flatwork, the full extent of the PVR movements should be expected. A minimum of four (4) feet of existing soil below the existing site surface should be removed and replaced as shown in Table 3 and 15. Select Fill should be utilized to meet the planned final floor elevation of the shade structure. Prior to the placement of material, the exposed subgrade area should be proof rolled with a rubber wheeled roller to identify any soft areas, if present. Weak or soft areas evidenced during proof rolling, should be over -excavated and replaced as outlined in Table 3 and 15. After proof rolling, the subgrade should be moisture conditioned and compacted as per Table 15. Table 3: Building Pad Recommendations Recommended Foundation Type: Stiffened Beam and Slab on Grade or Mat foundations as determined by the Structural Engineer Site Improvement Method: Undercut and Replace with Compacted Crushed Limestone Base Select Fill Placed in Moisture Controlled Lifts Improved Site Condition (PVR): 1-inch Minimum Undercut Depth: Minimum of 4 feet below existing site surface ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 5 Arias Job No. 2023-441 Minimum Select Fill Thickness As Required to Meet Final Floor Elevation, Under Slab: minimum of 4 feet Exposed Subgrade Preparation (See Proof Roll with a rubber wheeled compactor.

The shade structure pad improvements will be used with a slab on grade with exterior and interior grade beams. If PVR reduction is not required by the Client using select fill and the natural soil conditions will be used for the slab design, we can provide additional soil parameters upon request. If structures are to be constructed over the swimming pool fill area, all the undocumented fills should be removed and be replaced with compacted select fill. 2. Following stripping operations, undercut the existing soils from beneath the slab areas by at least three (3) feet below existing ground surface and replace with select fill. Select Fill material should be utilized to achieve the planned final floor elevation. 3. Undercutting should extend laterally to provide at least a 5-foot overbuild beyond the building perimeter. 4. After excavation, the exposed subgrade should be thoroughly rolled with a rubber wheeled roller. Passes should be performed with passes alternating in directions perpendicular to each other until compaction of the surface meets the requirement shown in Table 15. Any area that yields under the roller loading should be undercut to the depth specified by the geotechnical engineer and replaced with compacted fill as specified by the Geotechnical Engineer and outlined in Table 15. If deleterious material, rubble, or debris is encountered, they should be removed to firmer materials and disposed of properly. The void should then be replaced with properly compacted select fill. It is important that the site preparation operations be observed and tested by one of our representatives to verify that these recommendations are followed. A loaded dump truck or any rubber -tired equipment should not be used for proof rolling. After proof rolling, the subgrade should be tested for density and moisture content to the specifications as noted in Table 15. 5. The shade structure pad should be constructed using select fill. The select fill material should be placed within 48 hours of completion of the subgrade compaction and should be placed in maximum 8-inch loose lifts as specified in SECTION I, Table 15 (Project Compaction, Moisture and Testing Requirements). If PVR reduction is not required by the Client using select fill and the natural soil conditions will be used for the slab design, we can provide additional soil parameters upon request. ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 6 Arias Job No. 2023-441 6. For construction equipment access, and to help in providing a more "all-weather" working surface, we recommend placing at least six (6) inches of compacted crushed limestone base meeting the requirements of 2004 TXDOT Item 247, Type A, Grade 1 - 2 which can be considered as the top six (6) inches of the select fill. 7. If additional select fill thickness is necessary to achieve final design grade, fill should consist of material meeting the requirements in Table 3 above. 8. A horizontal barrier should extend at least 10 feet horizontally beyond the perimeter of the foundation. The barrier can consist of concrete or asphalt paving, concrete flatwork or at least 24" of compacted import clay (PI between 20 and 40). Any landscaping located within 10 feet of the structure foundation should be placed in watertight above -grade planter boxes with drainage discharge on top of adjacent flatwork/paving. We recommend that the perimeter grade beam be constructed to a depth of at least 24 inches to aid in reducing the potential for moisture fluctuation beneath the building pad. The final grade beam depth and recommended construction should be determined by the structural engineer. The slab vapor retarder plastic should be extended from beneath the slab down to the inside face (building pad side) of the grade beam trench. In unpaved areas at the perimeter of the planned shade structure, a 2-foot-thick clay cap (see Note 8, Table 3) should be constructed. This clay cap should aid in reducing the chances for surface water from infiltrating into the more previous recompacted soils or select fill and pond on top of the underlying, less permeable subgrade. A PVR exceeding 1-inch can occur if water is allowed to readily pond on top of the clayey subgrade beneath the select fill body. Clean imported soils (PI of 20 to 40, if present) can be used to construct the clay cap. The clay cap should be moisture conditioned to between 0 and +4 percentage points of optimum moisture content and then compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density determined by ASTM D 698. If flatwork or pavement surrounds the perimeter of the building, the referenced clay cap is not warranted. If planters are planned, they should consist of sealed boxes, not allowing irrigation water to seep into the building select fill overbuild. Prior to the placement of select fill, the exposed subgrade area should be proof rolled to identify any soft areas, if present. Proof rolling should be accomplished using a loaded dump truck weighing at least 15 tons. Weak or soft areas evidenced during proof rolling, should be over - excavated and replaced as outlined in Table 4 of this report. The upper 8 inches of exposed subgrade should then be scarified, moisture conditioned, compacted and tested. After moisture conditioning and compacting the subgrade, the building pad should be constructed using crushed limestone base material meeting the requirements of 2004 TXDOT Item 247, Type A, Grade 1 or 2 to provide for a more "all-weather" working surface. Stiffened Beam and Slab -on -Grade Foundation A grid type beam and slab -on -grade foundation is generally used to support relatively light structures upon expansive soils where soil conditions are relatively uniform, and where uplift and settlement can be tolerated. The intent of a stiffened beam and slab -on -grade foundation is to allow the structure and foundation to move up and down with soil movements while providing sufficient stiffness to limit differential movements within the superstructure to an acceptable magnitude. ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 7 Arias Job No. 2023-441 A stiffened grid type beam and slab -on -grade foundation may be utilized for the proposed shade structure provided it is designed specifically for these soil conditions. Also, the building pad and/or site must be improved as outlined in the previous report section. There are various design methods for use by the structural engineer to select the grade beams depths and beam spacings for this project. The foundations may be designed using Building Research Board No. 33 (BRAB Report) as a guideline. Alternatively, the foundations may be designed based on the Design of Slab -On -Ground Foundations published by the Wire Reinforcement Institute, Inc. (August 1981). Provided in the following table is the design criteria for both methods. Table 4: BRAB and WRI Foundation Design Criteria — Design PVR of about 1 Inch Design Method BRAB WRI Design PVR About 1 inch Climatic Rating (Cw) — Fort Worth, Texas 18 Effective Plasticity Index 36 Support Index (C) 0.78 -- Soil/Climatic Rating Factor (1-C) -- 0.22 Unconfined Compressive Strength (tsf) 1.0 -- Note: The above design values assume that the shade structure pad has been improved as outlined in this report for an approximate design PVR of 1 inch. A stiffened beam and slab type foundation may also be designed for the shade structure using the 3rd Edition of the Design of Post -Tensioned Slabs -on -Ground published by the Post - Tensioning Institute. These values were estimated from the "Volflo" computer program in consideration of the soil conditions in the area of the planned building. Provided in the following tables are design criteria for this method. Table 5: PTI Slab -on -Grade Soil Design Criteria (3rd Edition) Design PVR About 1 inch Depth to Constant Soil Suction 15 feet Constant Soil Suction 3.7 pF Edge Moisture Variation Distance Center Lift, em Edge Lift, em 7.8 feet 4.1 feet ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 8 Arias Job No. 2023-441 Differential Soil Movement Center Lift, ym -1.39 inches Edge Lift, ym 2.11 inches Coefficient of Slab-Subgrade Friction, N 1 0.75 Note: The above design values assume that the shade structure pad has been improved as outlined in this report for an approximate 1-inch design PVR. Table 6: Allowable Bearing Pressure and Beam Penetration Allowable Bearing Pressure 2,000 psf Bearing Stratum at Bottom of Grade Beams Compacted Select Fill Min. Penetration of Beams Below Final Grade for Bearing Pressure Requirements 24 inches Note: Actual beam depth should be determined by structural engineer. The minimum penetration below final grade is necessary to reduce scour potential and the potential for water penetration under the foundations. Arias is providing design values for BRAB and WRI methods for the Structural Engineer's consideration and possible use. Arias recommends that the final design methodology for the planned foundations be selected by the project Structural Engineer based on his knowledge and experience with similar foundation conditions. Grade beams based at the recommended depth, and found within the compacted select fill, should be designed for the allowable soil bearing capacity provided above. Grade beams may be thickened and widened at concentrated loads to serve as spread footings. The beams and widened columns should be a minimum of 10 and 12 inches wide, respectively, for shear resistance. The grade beams should extend at least 24 inches below final grade within the compacted select fill. We recommend that at least a 10-mil vapor retarder be used under the slab. The vapor retarder should conform to ASTM E1745, Class C or better and shall have a maximum water vapor permeance of 0.044 perms when tested in accordance with ASTM E96. A 10 mil Stego Wrap by Stego Industries LLC or other similar products meeting these requirements would be acceptable. Drilled Pier Foundation Recommendations As an alternate, deep foundation can be utilized for the proposed shade structure. Recommendations for evaluation of axial capacity and lateral capacity for the piers are presented in the following tables. Pier capacities for axial loading were evaluated based on design ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 9 Arias Job No. 2023-441 methodologies included in FHWA-IF-99-025 - Drilled Shafts: Construction Procedures and Design Methods. Due to the presence of highly expansive clays within the moisture active zone, the shafts will experience uplift due to swelling. However, due to the pavement covered subgrade the swelling effect will be reduced. Table 7: Drilled Pier Design Parameters Axial Capacity Recommended Design Parameters Allowable Allowable End Uplift Force, Depth Material Skin Friction, Bearing, psf kips psf FAT CLAY (CH), FAT CLAY with NEGLECT FOR MOISTURE ACTIVE 0 to 12 Sand (CH), LEAN CLAY with ZONE Sand (CL) 35*D 12 to 25 Weathered LIMESTONE 1500 15,000 Constraints to be Imposed During Pier Design Straight shaft drilled Piers at least 15 feet below the existing surface. Minimum embedment depth Deeper depths may be required to resist compressive, uplift, pullout, or lateral loads as determined by the Project Structural Engineer. If piers are designed to be deeper than 20-feet, we should be contacted to provide additional borings and recommendations. Minimum Void Space under Pier Caps 8 inches Notes: 1. For straight shaft piers, the contribution of the soils for the top 10 feet of soil embedment and for a length equal to at least 1 pier diameter from the bottom of the shaft or the top 15 feet, whichever is greater, should be neglected in determination of friction capacity for compression loading. The recommended design parameters include a factor of safety of 3 for skin friction and a factor of safety of 2 or greater for end bearing, per TxDOT Geotechnical Manual (July 2020). 2. Total settlement of piers is expected to be less than 1 inch. Estimated settlements are based on performance of properly installed piers. A detailed settlement estimate is outside of the scope of this service. 3. Sufficient reinforcing steel should be placed within the pier to account for tension and lateral loading as applicable. Pier vertical reinforcing steel should be designed to resist the uplift forces from swelling soils and uplift and lateral forces from wind loading. The final reinforcing requirements should be determined by the project structural engineer. Tensile rebar steel should be designed in accordance with ACI Code Requirements. 4. A minimum shaft diameter of 18 inches is recommended. Larger shaft diameters may be required, as determined by the structural engineer. 5. The uplift force resulting from expansion of soils in the active zone may be computed using the above formula in Table 4 above where D is the shaft diameter in feet. For drilled straight -sided piers, the contribution from soils to resist uplift is the allowable skin friction resistance of the soils below the ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 10 Arias Job No. 2023-441 15-ft. For uplift loading only, the allowable skin resistance for the bottom 1 pier diameter can be used. Sustained dead loads will also aid in resisting uplift forces. 6. The Contractor should verify groundwater conditions before production drilled shaft installation begins. Temporary casing and/or drilling slurry may be needed due to potential perched groundwater conditions, dependent on seasonal conditions. Payment provisions for temporary casing and for placement of concrete by the tremie method are recommended for inclusion in the Contract Documents. 7. Comments pertaining to high -torque drilling equipment, groundwater, temporary casing, and possible use of drilling slurry are based on generalized conditions encountered at the explored locations. Conditions at individual shaft locations may differ from those presented and may require that these techniques be implemented to successfully install drilled shafts. Lateral pile analyses including capacity, maximum shear, and maximum bending moment will be evaluated by the project structural engineer using LPILE or similar software. In the following table, Arias presents geotechnical input parameters for the encountered soils at the project site. Please note that the depths to the top and bottom of each layer were interpreted using data at the explored boring locations and layer boundaries as shown on the boring logs. Table 8: Drilled Pier Geotechnical Input Parameters for LPILE Analyses Depth, K Feet Description Ye C� Static/Cyclic eso 0 to 12 FAT CLAY (CH), FAT CLAY with Sand 125 2000 0 750/300 0.006 (CH), LEAN CLAY with Sand (CL) Depth, Description Y e E r q ur RQD K rm Feet 12 to 25 Weathered Limestone 130 14000 100 <25 0.0005 Where: Ye = effective soil unit weight, pcf cu = undrained soil shear strength, psi = undrained angle of internal friction, degrees K = soil modulus, pci eso = 50% strain value Er = Young's modulus for intact weak rock, psi qur = Uniaxial compressive strength, psi RQD = Rock Quality Designation, % Krm = Axial strain parameter for weak rock It should also be noted that the subsurface materials encountered in our boring generally consisted of stiff to hard clay. Thus, we anticipate that high -torque drilling equipment will be required for pier installation at this site. The Contractor should be familiar with and prepared for such conditions. ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 11 Arias Job No. 2023-441 Drilled Piers Construction Considerations The contractor should verify groundwater conditions before production pier installation begins. Comments pertaining to high -torque drilling equipment, groundwater, slurry, and temporary casing are based on generalized conditions encountered at the explored locations. Conditions at individual pier locations may differ from those presented and may require that these issues be implemented to successfully install piers. Construction considerations for drilled pier foundations are outlined in the following table. Table 9: Drilled Pier Installation Considerations Recommended installation procedure FHWA-NHI-10-016, May 2010 High -torque drilling equipment anticipated Possible, hard clays encountered Possible if subsurface soil and groundwater conditions Casing or Groundwater anticipated dictate, lean clays encountered which may cause caving issues Concrete placement Same day as drilling. Maximum water accumulation in excavation 2 inches Temporary Steel casing with a Tremie, or pump to displace water. If tremie is used, care should be taken to place the tremie in the center of the shaft and not Concrete installation method needed if water allow the concrete to ricochet of shaft walls and/or accumulates reinforcing steel. The concrete "head" should be kept above the ground surface during the pulling of the temporary steel casing in order to maintain the hole integrity and to displace possible ground water. Geotechnical engineer's representative should be present during drilling of all piers, should observe drilling and verify the installed depth, should verify Quality assurance monitoring material type at the base of excavation, cleanliness of base, depth of existing groundwater, if present, and should observe placement of reinforcing and placement of concrete. Notes: 1. The contractor should verify groundwater conditions before production pier installation begins. Temporary casing may be needed due to groundwater conditions, dependent on seasonal conditions. Payment provisions for temporary casing by the foot are recommended for inclusion in the Contract Documents. 2. Comments pertaining to high -torque drilling equipment, groundwater, temporary casing, and slurry drilling methods are based on generalized conditions encountered at the explored locations. Importantly, these are considered means and methods and are the sole responsibility of the contractor. Conditions at individual pier locations may differ from those presented and may require that these techniques be implemented to successfully install piers. 3. The following installation techniques will aid in successful construction of the shafts: a. The clear spacing between rebar or behind the rebar cage should be at least 3 times the maximum size of coarse aggregate. b. Centralizers on the rebar cage should be installed to keep the cage properly positioned. c. Cross -bracing of a reinforcing cage may be used when fabricating, transporting, and/or lifting. However, experience has shown that cross -bracing can contribute to the development of voids in a concrete shaft. Therefore, we recommend the removal of the cross -bracing prior to lowering the cage in the open shaft. ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 12 Arias Job No. 2023-441 d. The use of a tremie should be employed so that concrete is directed in a controlled manner down the center of the shaft to the shaft bottom. The concrete should not be allowed to ricochet off the pier reinforcing steel nor off the pier side walls nor should the concrete "head" be allowed to drop below the ground surface during the pulling of the casing. e. The pier concrete should be designed to achieve the desired design strength when placed at a 7-inch slump, plus or minus 1-inch tolerance. Adding water to a mix designed for a lower slump does not meet these recommendations. IBC Site Classification and Seismic Design Coefficients Section 1613 of the International Building Code (2021) requires that every structure be designed and constructed to resist the effects of earthquake motions, with the seismic design category to be determined in accordance with Section 1613 or ASCE 7. Site classification according to the International Building Code (2021) is based on the soil profile encountered to the 100-foot depth. The stratigraphy at the site location was explored to a maximum 25-foot depth. Material having similar consistency were extrapolated to be present between the 25 and 100-foot depths. On the basis of the site class definitions included in the 2021 Code and the encountered generalized stratigraphy, we characterize the site as Site Class C. Seismic design coefficients were determined using the on-line software. Analyses were performed considering the 2021 International Building Code. Input included GPS coordinates and Site Class C. Seismic design parameters for the site are summarized in the following table. Table 10: Seismic Design Parameters Site Class Fa F„ SS S1 C 1.30 1.50 0.09g 0.05g Where: Fa = Site coefficient Fv = Site coefficient Ss = Mapped spectral response acceleration for short periods S1 = Mapped spectral response acceleration for a 1-second period Pavement Recommendations One (1) boring was performed to explore the subsurface condition for the proposed improvement. Based on the results of the field exploration and the laboratory testing, the subgrade within the alignment of the proposed pathway/pavement may consist of clay (CH) with varying amounts of sand and gravel. The design of the trail sections should adequately handle the anticipated pedestrian and light -duty traffic use. The pavement recommendations were prepared in accordance with the 1993 AASHTO Guide for the Design of Pavement Structures for asphalt and the ACI Design Guide for Design and Construction of Concrete Parking Lots for concrete. The following design parameters and assumptions were used in our analysis: ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 13 Arias Job No. 2023-441 Table 11: Pavement Desiqn Assumptions (1) Concrete -Paved Hike and Bike Trail Pavement Type (preferred) (2) Asphalt -Paved Hike and Bike Trail (optional) Traffic Load for Light -Duty Pavement 15,000 equivalent single axle loads (ESALs) Concrete Compressive Strength 3,000 psi Raw Subgrade California Bearing Ratio 3 for compacted soil subgrade (CBR) Raw Subgrade Modulus of Subgrade 100 for compacted soil subgrade Reaction, k in pci Based on our experience with similar projects constructed on similar soils and our design assumptions, we recommend the following minimum thickness values be used to construct the planned trails. Table 12: Recommended Pavement Sections for Trails Flexible Rigid Layer Material Asphaltic Concrete Concrete Surface HMAC/PCC 2" 5" Base Flexible Base 6" -- Subgrade Moisture 6" 6" Conditioned Rigid Concrete Pavement Joints Placement of expansion joints in concrete paving on potentially expansive subgrade or on granular subgrade subject to piping often results in horizontal and vertical movement at the joint. Many times, concrete spalls adjacent to the joint and eventually a failed concrete area results. This problem is primarily related to water infiltration through the joint. One method to mitigate the problem of water infiltration through the joints is to eliminate all expansion joints that are not absolutely necessary. It is our opinion that expansion or isolation joints are needed only adjacent to where the pavement abuts intersecting drive lanes and other structures. Elimination of all expansion joints within the main body of the pavement area would significantly reduce access of moisture into the subgrade. Regardless of the type of expansion joint sealant used, eventually openings in the sealant occur resulting in water infiltration into the subgrade. ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 14 Arias Job No. 2023-441 The use of sawed and sealed joints should be designed in accordance with current Portland Cement Association (PCA) or American Concrete Institute (ACI) guidelines. Research has proven that joint design and layout can have a significant effect on the overall performance of concrete pavement. Recommendations presented herein are based on the use of reinforced concrete pavement. Local experience has shown that the use of distributed steel placed at a distance of 1/3 slab thickness from the top is of benefit in crack control for concrete pavements. Improved crack control also reduces the potential for water infiltration. The use of a perimeter turned down beam should also be strongly considered for the rigid concrete section. Pavement Subgrade and Section Materials Recommendations for subgrade preparation in the planned pavement areas are summarized in Table 13. Table 13: Pavement Subarade and Section Materials Stripping Depth 6 inches or as needed to remove roots and organics Reuse Excavated Soils Provided they are free of roots and debris and meet the general fill material requirements. Undercut Extent 2 feet beyond the paving limits Proof roll with rubber -tired vehicle weighting at Exposed Subgrade Treatment least 15 tons such as a loaded dump truck with Geotechnical Engineer's representative present during proof rolling Pumping/Rutting Areas Discovered Remove to firmer materials and replace with During Proof Rolling compacted general or select fill under direction of geotechnical engineer representative On -site material free of roots, debris and other General Fill Type deleterious material with a maximum particle size of 4 inches Maximum General Fill Loose Lift g inches Thickness Flexible Base Material Type TxDOT Item 247, Type A, Grade 1 or 2 Maximum Flexible Base Loose Lift g inches Thickness Hot Mix Asphaltic Concrete (HMAC) TxDOT Standard Specifications Item 340, Type D Type ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 15 Arias Job No. 2023-441 Portland cement concrete (PCC) 28-day compressive strength of 3,000 psi; 4 to 6-inch slump To prevent degradation of the prepared subgrade and base material, paving preferably should be placed within 14 days. If pavement placement is delayed, protection of the base surface with an emulsion -based sealer should be considered. Alternately, the paving section could be slightly overbuilt so blading performed to remove distressed sections does not reduce the base thickness. We understand that a planned parking lot at the Mission Road trailhead will be provided as part of a separate project. Therefore, it was not part of our scope of services to provide pavement recommendations for said planned parking lot. CONSTRUCTION CRITERIA Site Preparation Strip away any surficial material, topsoil, grass, organics, soft or wet materials, and deleterious debris as needed and dispose outside of the trail pavement areas. Undercut to the required depth and extent as noted in the main report. Additional excavation may also be necessary due to encountering deleterious materials such as buried debris and/or rubble, or undesirable soft and wet subgrade conditions and/or existing fill materials. The site representative of the geotechnical engineer should observe undercutting operations. Unless passing density reports are provided for a specific area, existing fill soils found during the excavation should be considered as uncertified and removed to suitable natural soils. After the surface materials are removed, the exposed subgrade surface should be proof rolled with a heavily loaded dump truck weighing at least 20 tons. Any areas which excessively yield or pump under the wheel loading should be undercut to the depth specified by the geotechnical engineer's representative and replaced with compacted select fill to existing grade as specified. The voids in undercut areas can be backfilled and compacted with on -site general fill materials. Table 14: Site Work (Non-Structural/General Fill) Requirements Stripping Depth 6-inch minimum or as needed to remove any existing asphalt, concrete, and vegetation On -site material free of roots, debris and other Non-Structural/General Fill Type deleterious material with a maximum particle size of 4 inches Maximum Non-Structural/General Fill Loose Lift Thickness g inches The backfill should be placed and compacted in accordance with Table 15.

Drainage Good positive drainage during and after construction is very important to reduce expansive soil volume changes that can detrimentally affect the performance of the planned development. Proper attention to surface and subsurface drainage details during the design and construction phase of development can aid in preventing many potential soil shrink -swell related problems during and following the completion of the project. GENERAL COMMENTS This report was prepared as an instrument of service for this project exclusively for the use of Dunaway and the project design team. If the development plans change relative to layout, anticipated traffic loads, or if different subsurface conditions are encountered during construction, we should be informed and retained to ascertain the impact of these changes on our recommendations. We cannot be responsible for the potential impact of these changes if we are not informed. Design Review Arias should be given the opportunity to review the design and construction documents. The purpose of this review is to check to see if our recommendations are properly interpreted into the project plans and specifications. Please note that design review was not included in the authorized scope and additional fees may apply. ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 17 Arias Job No. 2023-441 Subsurface Variations Soil and groundwater conditions may vary away from the sample boring locations. Transition boundaries or contacts, noted on the boring logs to separate soil types, are approximate. Actual contacts may be gradual and vary at different locations. The contractor should verify that similar conditions exist throughout the proposed area of excavation. If different subsurface conditions or highly variable subsurface conditions are encountered during construction, we should be contacted to evaluate the significance of the changed conditions relative to our recommendations. Quality Assurance Testing The long-term success of the project will be affected by the quality of materials used for construction and the adherence of the construction to the project plans and specifications. As Geotechnical Engineer of Record (GER), we should be engaged by the Owner to provide Quality Assurance (QA) testing. Our services will be to evaluate the degree to which constructors are achieving the specified conditions they're contractually obligated to achieve and observe that the encountered materials during earthwork for foundation and pavement installation are consistent with those encountered during this study. In the event that Arias is not retained to provide QA testing, we should be immediately contacted if differing subsurface conditions are encountered during construction. Differing materials may require modification to the recommendations that we provided herein. A message to the Owner with regard to the project QA is provided in the GBA publication included in Appendix E. Arias has an established in-house laboratory that meets the standards of the American Standard Testing Materials (ASTM) specifications of ASTM E-329 defining requirements for Inspection and Testing Agencies for soil, concrete, steel and bituminous materials as used in construction. We maintain soils, concrete, asphalt, and aggregate testing equipment to provide the testing needs required by the project specifications. All of our equipment is calibrated by an independent testing agency in accordance with the National Bureau of Standards. In addition, Arias is accredited by the American Association of State Highway & Transportation Officials (AASHTO), the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), and also maintains AASHTO Materials Reference Laboratory (AMRL) and Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL) proficiency sampling, assessments and inspections. Furthermore, Arias employs a technical staff certified through the following agencies: the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET), the American Concrete Institute (ACI), the American Welding Society (AWS), the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI), the Mine & Safety Health Administration (MSHA), the Texas Asphalt Pavement Association (TXAPA) and the Texas Board of Professional Engineers (TBPE). Our services are conducted under the guidance and direction of a Professional Engineer (P.E.) licensed to work in the State of Texas, as required by law. Standard of Care Subject to the limitations inherent in the agreed scope of services as to the degree of care and amount of time and expenses to be incurred, and subject to any other limitations contained in the ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 18 Arias Job No. 2023-441 agreement for this work, Arias has performed its services consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by other professional engineers practicing in the same locale and under similar circumstances at the time the services were performed.

APPENDIX C: LABORATORY AND FIELD TEST PROCEDURES ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. C-1 Arias Job No. 2023-441 FIELD AND LABORATORY EXPLORATION The field exploration program included drilling at selected locations within the site and intermittently sampling the encountered materials. The boreholes were drilled using single flight augers (ASTM D 1452). Samples of encountered materials were obtained using a split -barrel sampler while performing the Standard Penetration Test (ASTM D 1586) and with a thin -walled Shelby Tube Sampler (ASTM D 1587). The sample depth interval and type of sampler used is included on the soil boring log. Arias' field representative visually logged each recovered sample and placed a portion of the recovered sampled into a plastic bag for transport to our laboratory. SPT N values and blow counts for those intervals where the sampler could not be advanced for the required 18-inch penetration are shown on the soil boring log. If the test was terminated during the 6-inch seating interval or after 10 hammer blows were applied used and no advancement of the sampler was noted, the log denotes this condition as blow count during seating penetration. Penetrometer readings recorded for thin -walled tube samples that remained intact also are shown on the soil boring logs. Arias performed soil mechanics laboratory tests on selected samples to aid in soil classification and to determine engineering properties. Tests commonly used in geotechnical exploration, the method used to perform the test, and the designation on the boring log where data are reported are summarized as follows: Test Name Test Method Log Designation Water (moisture) content of soil and rock by mass ASTM D 2216 WC Liquid limit, plastic limit, and plasticity index of soils ASTM D 4318 PL, LL, PI Amount of material in soils finer than the No. 200 sieve ASTM D 1140 -200 The laboratory results are reported on the soil boring logs.

APPENDIX E: GBA INFORMATION ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. E-1 Arias Job No. 2023-441 r- Geotechnical-Engineering Report --) The Geoprofessional Business Association (GBA) has prepared this advisory to help you — assumedly a client representative — interpret and apply this geotechnical-engineering report as effectively as possible. In that way, clients can benefit from a lowered exposure to the subsurface problems that, for decades, have been a principal cause of construction delays, cost overruns, claims, and disputes. If you have questions or want more information about any of the issues discussed below, contact your GBA-member geotechnical engineer. Active involvement in the Geoprofessional Business Association exposes geotechnical engineers to a wide array of risk -confrontation techniques that can be of genuine benefit for everyone involved with a construction project. Geotechnical-Engineering Services Are Performed for Specific Purposes, Persons, and Projects Geotechnical engineers structure their services to meet the specific needs of their clients. A geotechnical-engineering study conducted for a given civil engineer will not likely meet the needs of a civil - works constructor or even a different civil engineer. Because each geotechnical-engineering study is unique, each geotechnical- engineering report is unique, prepared solely for the client. Those who rely on a geotechnical-engineering report prepared for a different client can be seriously misled. No one except authorized client representatives should rely on this geotechnical-engineering report without first conferring with the geotechnical engineer who prepared it. And no one - not even you - should apply this report for any purpose or project except the one originally contemplated. Read this Report in Full Costly problems have occurred because those relying on a geotechnical- engineering report did not read it in its entirety. Do not rely on an executive summary. Do not read selected elements only. Read this report in full. You Need to Inform Your Geotechnical Engineer about Change Your geotechnical engineer considered unique, project -specific factors when designing the study behind this report and developing the confirmation -dependent recommendations the report conveys. A few typical factors include: • the client's goals, objectives, budget, schedule, and risk -management preferences; • the general nature of the structure involved, its size, configuration, and performance criteria; • the structure's location and orientation on the site; and • other planned or existing site improvements, such as retaining walls, access roads, parking lots, and underground utilities. Typical changes that could erode the reliability of this report include those that affect: • the site's size or shape; • the function of the proposed structure, as when it's changed from a parking garage to an office building, or from a light -industrial plant to a refrigerated warehouse; • the elevation, configuration, location, orientation, or weight of the proposed structure; • the composition of the design team; or • project ownership. As a general rule, always inform your geotechnical engineer of project changes - even minor ones - and request an assessment of their impact. The geotechnical engineer who prepared this report cannot accept responsibility or liability for problems that arise because the geotechnical engineer was not informed about developments the engineer otherwise would have considered. This Report May Not Be Reliable Do not rely on this report if your geotechnical engineer prepared it: • for a different client; • for a different project; • for a different site (that may or may not include all or a portion of the original site); or • before important events occurred at the site or adjacent to it; e.g., man-made events like construction or environmental remediation, or natural events like floods, droughts, earthquakes, or groundwater fluctuations. Note, too, that it could be unwise to rely on a geotechnical-engineering report whose reliability may have been affected by the passage of time, because of factors like changed subsurface conditions; new or modified codes, standards, or regulations; or new techniques or tools. If your geotechnical engineer has not indicated an `apply -by" date on the report, ask what it should be, and, in general, if you are the least bit uncertain about the continued reliability of this report, contact your geotechnical engineer before applying it. A minor amount of additional testing or analysis - if any is required at all - could prevent major problems. Most of the "Findings" Related in This Report Are Professional Opinions Before construction begins, geotechnical engineers explore a site's subsurface through various sampling and testing procedures. Geotechnical engineers can observe actual subsurface conditions only at those specific locations where sampling and testing were performed. The data derived from that sampling and testing were reviewed by your geotechnical engineer, who then applied professional judgment to form opinions about subsurface conditions throughout the site. Actual sitewide-subsurface conditions may differ - maybe significantly - from those indicated in this report. Confront that risk by retaining your geotechnical engineer to serve on the design team from project start to project finish, so the individual can provide informed guidance quickly, whenever needed. This Report's Recommendations Are Confirmation -Dependent The recommendations included in this report - including any options or alternatives - are confirmation -dependent. In other words, they are not final, because the geotechnical engineer who developed them relied heavily on judgment and opinion to do so. Your geotechnical engineer can finalize the recommendations only after observing actual subsurface conditions revealed during construction. If through observation your geotechnical engineer confirms that the conditions assumed to exist actually do exist, the recommendations can be relied upon, assuming no other changes have occurred. The geotechnical engineer who prepared this report cannot assume responsibility or liability for confirmation - dependent recommendations if you fail to retain that engineer to perform construction observation. This Report Could Be Misinterpreted Other design professionals' misinterpretation of geotechnical- engineering reports has resulted in costly problems. Confront that risk by having your geotechnical engineer serve as a full-time member of the design team, to: • confer with other design -team members, help develop specifications, • review pertinent elements of other design professionals' plans and specifications, and be on hand quickly whenever geotechnical-engineering guidance is needed. You should also confront the risk of constructors misinterpreting this report. Do so by retaining your geotechnical engineer to participate in prebid and preconstruction conferences and to perform construction observation. Give Constructors a Complete Report and Guidance Some owners and design professionals mistakenly believe they can shift unanticipated -subsurface -conditions liability to constructors by limiting the information they provide for bid preparation. To help prevent the costly, contentious problems this practice has caused, include the complete geotechnical-engineering report, along with any attachments or appendices, with your contract documents, but be certain to note conspicuously that you've included the material for informational purposes only. To avoid misunderstanding, you may also want to note that "informational purposes" means constructors have no right to rely on the interpretations, opinions, conclusions, or recommendations in the report, but they may rely on the factual data relative to the specific times, locations, and depths/elevations referenced. Be certain that constructors know they may learn about specific project requirements, including options selected from the report, only from the design drawings and specifications. Remind constructors that they may perform their own studies if they want to, and be sure to allow enough time to permit them to do so. Only then might you be in a position to give constructors the information available to you, while requiring them to at least share some of the financial responsibilities stemming from unanticipated conditions. Conducting prebid and preconstruction conferences can also be valuable in this respect. Read Responsibility Provisions Closely Some client representatives, design professionals, and constructors do not realize that geotechnical engineering is far less exact than other engineering disciplines. That lack of understanding has nurtured unrealistic expectations that have resulted in disappointments, delays, cost overruns, claims, and disputes. To confront that risk, geotechnical engineers commonly include explanatory provisions in their reports. Sometimes labeled "limitations," many of these provisions indicate where geotechnical engineers' responsibilities begin and end, to help others recognize their own responsibilities and risks. Read these provisions closely. Ask questions. Your geotechnical engineer should respond fully and frankly. Geoenvi ron mental Concerns Are Not Covered The personnel, equipment, and techniques used to perform an environmental study - e.g., a "phase -one" or "phase -two" environmental site assessment - differ significantly from those used to perform a geotechnical-engineering study. For that reason, a geotechnical- engineering report does not usually relate any environmental findings, conclusions, or recommendations; e.g., about the likelihood of encountering underground storage tanks or regulated contaminants. Unanticipated subsurface environmental problems have led to project failures. If you have not yet obtained your own environmental information, ask your geotechnical consultant for risk -management guidance. As a general rule, do not rely on an environmental report prepared for a different client, site, or project, or that is more than six months old. Obtain Professional Assistance to Deal with Moisture Infiltration and Mold While your geotechnical engineer may have addressed groundwater, water infiltration, or similar issues in this report, none of the engineer's services were designed, conducted, or intended to prevent uncontrolled migration of moisture - including water vapor - from the soil through building slabs and walls and into the building interior, where it can cause mold growth and material -performance deficiencies. Accordingly, proper implementation of the geotechnical engineer's recommendations will not of itself be sufficient to prevent moisture infiltration. Confront the risk of moisture infiltration by including building -envelope or mold specialists on the design team. Geotechnical engineers are not building - envelope or mold specialists.

APPENDIX F: PROJECT QUALITY ASSURANCE ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. F-1 Arias Job No. 2023-441 A Message to Owners from ASFE/GBA E BUSINESS ASSOC ASFSIONAL IATION 8811 Colesville Road Suite G106 Silver Spring, Maryland 20910 Voice: 301.565.2733 Fax: 301.589.2017 E-mail: info@asfe.org Internet: www.asfe.org Construction -materials engineering and testing (CoMET) consultants perform quality -assurance (QA) services to evaluate how well constructors are achieving the specified conditions they're contractually obligated to achieve. Done right, QA can save you time and money while helping you manage project risks by detecting molehills before they grow into mountains you and the design team are forced to climb. Done right, QA can save you time and money; prevent claims and disputes; and reduce risks. Many owners don't do QA right because they follow bad advice. It's ironic that, as important as CoMET consultants can be, some owners and design professionals treat them as though they were commodities. Often referred to incorrectly as "testing labs," CoMET consultants create the last line of defense against costly construction errors and the delays, change orders, claims, disputes, and litigation that can result. Why would owners entrust such an important responsibility to the firm offering to fulfill it for the lowest fee as opposed to the one whose qualifications enable it to offer the best service and the most value? The answer: Too many owners follow bad advice; e.g., "CoMET consultants are all the same. They all follow the same standards. They all have accredited laboratories and certified personnel. Go with the low bidder." That's bad advice because there's no such thing as a standard QA scope of service, meaning that — to bid — each interested firm must develop its own scope ... and it has to be a cheap scope in order to offer the low fee the owner apparently prefers. A cheap scope cannot help but jeopardize service quality, aggravating risk for you and the entire project team. Of course, some firms will offer what seems to be a better scope at a "low -ball," less - than -cost bid in order to win the commission and then earn a profit through multiple change orders. You have too much at stake to follow bad advice. Consider these facts. Fact: Most COMET farms are not accredited, including some that say they are and some that don't even follow the correct standards, even when they say they do. And the quality of those that are accredited varies significantly; some practice at a high level; others just barely scrape by. As such, while accreditation is extremely important, it is far from being a "be-all and end-all." It signifies only that a firm's facilities or operations met the minimum criteria of an accrediting body whose concerns in some cases may have little to do with your project. And the condition of what an accrediting body typically evaluates — management systems, technical staff, facilities, and equipment — can change substantially between on -site accreditation assessments. Most CoMET firms are not accredited and it's dangerous to assume CoMET personnel are certified. Fact: It's dangerous to assume CoMET personnel are certified. Many have no credentials; some are certified by organizations of questionable merit, while others have a valid certification, but not for the services they're assigned. All too many have little training or none at all. Some CoMET firms — the "low-cost providers" — want you to believe that price is the only difference between QA providers. It's not: Firms that sell low price typically lack: • facilities appropriate for many of the projects they accept, • equipment that is well maintained and properly calibrated, • field and laboratory personnel who are well trained and appreciate the importance of their responsibilities, • management with the education, experience, and judgment to provide technical oversight, and • the professional -liability insurance you should require to enjoy peace of mind. Quality -oriented firms invest in the facilities, equipment, personnel, and insurance needed to achieve quality in quality assurance. Quality -oriented firms invest in the facilities, equipment, personnel, and insurance needed to achieve quality in quality assurance. To derive maximum value from your QA investment, have the CoMET firm's project manager serve actively on the project team from beginning to end, a level of service that's relatively inexpensive and can pay huge dividends. During the project's planning and design stages, experienced CoMET professionals can help the design team develop consistent, cost-effective technical specifications and establish appropriate observation, testing, and instrumentation protocols. They can analyze plans and specs much as constructors do, looking for the little errors, omissions, conflicts, and ambiguities that often lead to the misunderstandings and confusion that become the basis for big extras and big claims. They can also provide guidance about operations and materials that need closer review than others, because of their criticality or potential for error or abuse, and even suggest reduced levels of review or testing for areas of a less critical nature, based on local experience. You can also benefit from a CoMET professional's frank assessments of the various constructors that have expressed interest in the project. To derive maximum value, have the COMET project manager serve actively on the project team from beginning to end. CoMET consultants' construction -phase QA services focus on two distinct issues: • those that relate to geotechnical engineering and • those that relate to the other elements of construction. Geotechnical-engineering issues are critically important because they are essential to the "observational method" geotechnical engineers use to help their clients save time and money while maintaining a "healthy respect" for the unknown in the underground. In essence, the observational method is an overall approach that begins during the earliest element of the design phase and carries through 2 to the construction phase. Geotechnical engineers initiate this approach by applying their knowledge of local geological conditions to develop an economical subsurface -sampling plan. Proper execution of the plan should derive just enough samples from just enough areas to permit an experienced geotechnical engineer to develop an assumed -subsurface profile. Because so much depends on the reliability of each sample, quality -focused geotechnical engineers often insist that their own personnel perform or oversee the sampling process, from obtaining the samples to packaging, storing, and transporting them to a trusted laboratory, using their own equipment and facilities or relying on others' they know they can trust. Combining the assumed subsurface profile with knowledge of what is being constructed — e.g., its dimensions, weight, anticipated use, and performance objectives — geotechnical engineers develop provisional recommendations for the structure's foundations and for the specifications of various "geo" elements, like excavations, site grading, foundation -bearing grades, and roadway and parking -lot preparation and surfacing. When geotechnical engineers know that their personnel will be on site observing subsurface conditions as they are exposed, they usually will recommend the most cost-effective design their assumptions make practical, knowing that — if their assumed -subsurface profile is "off' in any significant way — the variances will be caught (that's what they teach their field personnel to do), permitting them to "tweak" their recommendations in the field. It is essential to realize that geotechnical engineers cannot finalize their recommendations until they or their field representatives are on site to observe what's excavated to verify that the subsurface conditions the engineers predicted are those that actually exist. Geotechnical engineers cannot finalize their recommendations until they are on site to verify that the subsurface conditions they predicted are those that actually exist. Entrusting geotechnical field observation to someone other than the geotechnical engineer of record creates a significant risk. Insofar as other elements of construction are concerned, many geotechnical-engineering firms have obliged their clients by expanding their field -services mix, so they're able to perform overall construction QA, encompassing — in addition to geotechnical issues — reinforced concrete, structural steel, structural masonry, fireproofing, and so on, Unfortunately, that's caused some confusion. Believing that all CoMET consultants are alike, some owners take bids for the overall COMET package, including the geotechnical field observation, thus curtailing services of the geotechnical engineer of record (GER). Entrusting geotechnical field observation to someone other than the GER creates a significant risk. GERs have developed a variety of protocols to optimize the quality of their field -observation procedures. Quality -focused GERs meet with their field representatives before the representatives leave for a project site, to brief them on what to look for and where, when, and how to look. (No one can duplicate this briefing, because no one else knows as much about a project's geotechnical issues.) And once they arrive at a project site, the field representatives know to maintain timely, effective communication with the GER, because that's what the GER has trained them to do. By contrast, it's extremely rare for a different firm's field personnel to contact the GER, even when they're concerned or confused about what they observe, because they regard the GER's firm as "the competition." Convoluted project -communications protocols can make this communications breakdown even worse. A different firm is often willing to perform on -site geotechnical review for less money than the GER, frequently because it treats geotechnical field services as a "loss leader" in order to obtain the far larger, overall CoMET commission. Given the significant risk that supplanting the GER creates, accepting the offer is almost always penny-wise and pound- foolish. Still, because some owners accept bad advice, it's commonly done, helping to explain why "geo"issues are the number -one source of construction -industry claims and disputes. Divorcing the GER from geotechnical field operations is almost always penny-wise and pound-foolish, helping to explain why "geo" issues are the number -one source of construction -industry claims and disputes. To derive the biggest bang for the QA buck, identify three or even four quality -focused CoMET consultants. (If you don't know any, use the "Find a Geoprofessional" service available free at www.asfe.ore.) Ask about the firms' ongoing and recent projects and the clients and client representatives involved; insist upon receiving verification of all claimed accreditations, certifications, licenses, and insurance coverages. Insist upon receiving verification of all claimed accreditations, certifications, licenses, and insurance coverages. Once you identify the two or three most qualified firms, meet with their key personnel, preferably at their own facility, so you can inspect their laboratory, speak with management and technical staff, and form an opinion about the firm's capabilities and attitude. Insist that each firm's designated project manager and lead field representative participate in the meeting. You will benefit when those individuals are seasoned QA professionals familiar with construction's rough-and-tumble. Ask about others the firm will assign, too. There's no substitute for experienced, certified personnel who are familiar with the codes and standards involved and know how to: • read and interpret plans and specifications; • perform the necessary observation, inspection, and testing; • document their observations and findings; • interact with constructors' personnel; and • respond to the unexpected. Important. Many of the services CoMET QA field representatives perform — like observing operations and outcomes — require the good judgment afforded by extensive training and experience. Who will be on hand when the unexpected occurs: a 15-year "veteran" or a rookie? Many of the services COMET QA field representatives perform require good judgment. Also consider the tools COMET personnel use. Some firms are fanatical about proper maintenance and calibration; others, less so. Ask to see the firm's calibration records. If the firm doesn't have any, or if they are not current, be cautious: You cannot trust test results derived using equipment that may be out of calibration. Also ask if the firm's laboratory participates in 4 w proficiency testing, relying on a program like the one sponsored by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). And be sure to ask a firm's representatives about their reporting practices, part of the constructor's bid -price competition. (Note that the International Building Code (IBC) requires the owner to pay for Special Inspection (SI) services commonly performed by the COMET consultant as a service separate including report distribution and timeliness, how from QA, to help ensure the independence of they handle notifications of nonconformance, the SI process. Because failure to comply could and how they resolve complaints. result in denial of an occupancy or use permit, having a contractual agreement that conforms Once you identify your preferred firm, meet with to local code requirements is essential.) its representatives again. Provide the approved plans and specifications and other pertinent materials, like a construction schedule, and discuss what's needed to finalize a scope of service that reflects what will be happening on site and when it will occur. Recognize that most CoMET services are performed periodically or randomly, not continuously. Also recognize that a COMET consultant's field representatives cannot be in all places at all times, an important issue when multiple activities are ongoing simultaneously. Ask for guidance about appropriate staffing levels and discuss the trade- offs that may be available. Creating a detailed scope of CoMET QA service can help avoid surprises. Still, scope flexibility is needed to deal promptly with the unanticipated, like the additional services required to check the rework performed because of an error caught in QA. Scope flexibility is needed to deal promptly with the unanticipated. For financing purposes, some owners require the constructor to pay for CoMET services. Consider an alternative approach so you don't convert the constructor into the CoMET consultant's client. If it's essential for you to fund QA via the constructor, have the CoMET fee included as an allowance in the bid documents. This arrangement ensures that you remain the CoMET consultant's client, and it prevents the COMET fee from becoming If it's essential for you to fund QA via the constructor, have the COMET fee included as an allowance in the bid documents. Note, too, that the International Building (ode (IBC) requires you to pay for Special Inspection (SI) services. CoMET consultants can usually quote their fees as unit fees, unit fees with estimated total (invoiced on a unit -fee basis), or lump - sum (invoiced on a percent -completion basis referenced to a schedule of values). No matter which method is used, estimated quantities need to be realistic. Some CoMET firms lower their total -fee estimates by using quantities they know are too low and then request change orders long before construction and the need for QA are complete. Once you and the CoMET consultant settle on the scope of service and fee, enter into a written contract. Established CoMET firms have their own contracts; most owners sign them. Some owners prefer to use different contracts, but that can be a mistake when the contract was prepared for construction services. Professional services are different. Wholly avoidable problems occur when a contract includes provisions that don't apply to the services involved and fails to include those that do. Some owners create wholly avoidable problems by using a contract prepared for construction services. This final note: CoMET consultants perform QA for owners, not constructors. While constructors are commonly given review copies of QA reports as a courtesy, you need to make it clear that constructors do not have a legal right to rely on those reports; i.e., if constructors want to forgo their own observation and testing and rely on results derived from a scope created to meet only the needs of the owner, they must do so at their own risk. In all too many cases where owners have failed to make that clear, constructors have alleged that they did have a legal right to rely on QA reports and, as a ASFETHE GEOPROFESSIONAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION 8811 colesville Road Suite G106 Silver Spring, Maryland 20910 Voice: 301.565.2733 Fax: 301.589.2017 [-mail: info@asfe.org Internet: www.asfe.org result, the CoMET consultant — not they — are responsible for their failure to deliver what they contractually promised to provide.

The planned improvement will include shade structures, pavements, and playground. This study was authorized on Nov 29, 2023, as part of the signing of Subconsultant Agreement between Arias and LJA Engineering. A Site Vicinity Map is provided in Appendix A as Figure 1 of this report, and a boring location map is provided as Figure 2. SCOPE OF SERVICES The scope of services for this Project was to: • Perform one (1) boring to obtain soil samples for subsequent laboratory testing, as well as to characterize subsurface stratigraphic and groundwater conditions. • Perform geotechnical laboratory testing on recovered samples to evaluate engineering properties of the subgrade materials, as well as for subsurface material characterization. • Present the results of the field and laboratory test data in this report. Environmental studies were not a part of our scope of services, nor was the completion of local or global stability analysis of any retaining walls. SOIL BORING AND LABORATORY TESTING Boring Location and Depths One (1) boring was drilled within the park area as shown in Table 1 below and on the Boring Location Plan provided in Appendix A as Figure 2. Table 1: Boring Depths and Locations Boring No. Latitude Longitude Depth, feet B-3 32' 48' 11.34" N 97' 19' 58.73" W 25 The boring was sampled in accordance with ASTM D1586 procedures for Split Spoon sampling techniques and in accordance with ASTM D 1587 thin wall tube sampling as described in Appendix C. A truck -mounted drill rig using continuous flight augers together with the sampling ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 1 Arias Job No. 2023-441 tool noted was used to secure the subsurface soil samples. Photographs are included in Appendix A, as Figure 4. Soil classifications and borehole logging were conducted during the exploration by our engineering technician working under the supervision of the Project Geotechnical Engineer. Final soil classifications, as seen on the boring logs included in Appendix B, were determined by the Senior Geotechnical Engineer based on laboratory and field test results and applicable ASTM procedures. A key to the terms and symbols used on the boring logs is also included in Appendix B. Laboratory Tests As a supplement to the field exploration, laboratory testing was performed to determine water content, Atterberg Limits, percent passing the US Standard No. 200 sieve, and unconfined compressive strength of soils. The laboratory testing for this project was performed in accordance with applicable ASTM procedures with the specifications and definitions for these tests listed in Appendix C. Remaining samples recovered from this exploration will be routinely discarded following submittal of this report. Results of the laboratory testing are depicted on the logs in Appendix B. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS Generalized stratigraphy and groundwater conditions are discussed in the following sections. The subsurface and groundwater conditions are based on observations at the boring locations to the depths explored during our field operations. Soil conditions may vary between the sample boring locations. Transition boundaries, or contacts, noted on the boring logs to separate soil types, are approximate. Actual contacts may be gradual and vary at different locations. If conditions encountered during construction indicate more variation than established as a result of this study, we should be contacted to evaluate the significance of the changed conditions relative to our recommendations. Geology The earth materials underlying the project site have been regionally mapped as Fort Worth Limestone and Duck Creek Formation (Kfd). The Fort Worth Limestone typically exists in Fort Worth area and northward and consists of limestone and clay, with 0.2 — 2 foot beds and becoming thicker and more massive southward. Clay and calcareous in medium gray to yellowish brown exist in units of 0.1 — 5 foot thick; color changes from medium gray to yellowish brown and forms low rolling hills with the thickness of 25- 35 feet. Duck Creek Formation consists of limestone aphanitic, pyrite nodules up to 0.2 — 2 feet ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 2 Arias Job No. 2023-441 thick, and color change from light to medium gray. Clay with calcareous ranging in 0.1 to 5 feet thick, color changing from medium gray to yellowish brown, with a thickness of 25 to 35 feet. Site Conditions Detailed laboratory and stratigraphy summaries for the Borings are summarized in the following tables.

Not applicable * : Only test in stratum Groundwater A dry soil sampling method was used to obtain the soil samples at the project site. Groundwater was not encountered during our field exploration on January 5, 2024, and the boring caved at 23 ft after completion. The open boreholes were backfilled using mixture of bentonite and soil cuttings generated from the drilling process. Groundwater levels will often change significantly over time and should be verified immediately prior to construction. Water levels in open boreholes may require several hours to several days to stabilize depending on the permeability of the soils. Groundwater levels at this site may differ during construction because fluctuations in groundwater levels can result from seasonal conditions, rainfall, drought, or temperature effects. Pockets or seams of gravels, sands, silts or open fractures and joints can store and transmit "perched" groundwater flow or seepage. Should dewatering become necessary, it is considered means and methods and is solely the responsibility of the contractor. ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 3 Arias Job No. 2023-441 MOISTURE VARIATIONS AND ESTIMATED MOVEMENT The native soils have moderate to high expansion (shrink/swell) characteristics. Expansive clays shrink when they lose water and swell or grow in volume when they gain water. The potential of expansive clays to shrink and swell is typically related to the Plasticity Index (PI). Clays with a higher PI generally have a greater potential for soil volume changes due to moisture content variations. Change in soil moisture is a highly important factor affecting the shrinking and swelling of clays. More pronounced movements are commonly observed when soils are exposed to extreme moisture fluctuations that occur between drought conditions and wet seasons. We estimated potential vertical movement for this site using the Tex-124-E method outlined by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The Tex-124-E method provides an estimate of potential vertical rise (PVR) using the liquid limits, plasticity indices, and existing water contents for soils. The PVR is estimated in the seasonally active zone, which was estimated at a 15-foot depth for this site. Based on this method, we estimate that the PVR is approximately 1% inches at this site for the existing conditions. Estimated PVRs are based upon assumed changes in soil moisture content from a dry to a wet condition; however, soil movements in the field depend on the actual changes in moisture content. Thus, actual soil movements could be less than that calculated if little soil moisture variations occur, or the actual movement could exceed the estimated values if actual soil moisture content changes exceed the wet limits outlined by the PVR method. Such moisture conditions that exceed the limits of the PVR method may be the result of extended droughts, flooding, perched groundwater infiltration, poor surface drainage, and/or leaking irrigation or plumbing lines. FOUNDATION DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Both shallow and deep foundation types are utilized in this area. Deep drilled piers are suited to buildings with moderate to heavy loading conditions, or for more movement -sensitive structures. A shallow foundation type consisting of a stiffened beam and slab -on -grade "waffle slab" is a common alternate approach for small to moderate size buildings. This foundation type is typically used for light to moderate loading conditions and can be more cost-effective than a deep foundation system. When founded within expansive soils, subgrade improvement is recommended in order to reduce potential soil and foundation movement to a magnitude acceptable to the owner and design team. Some aesthetic distress, such as floor tile, foundation and wall cracking, is normally acceptable by the owner and design team with this foundation alternative. The undocumented fills may remain in place if the building is supported on drilled piers and the floor slab is suspended. ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 4 Arias Job No. 2023-441 Building Foundation Types and Building Pad Recommendations A stiffened beam and slab -on -grade foundation can be used for the proposed structures, provided that site subgrade improvements are performed to reduce the PVR to approximately 1-inch. Criteria for a stiffened beam and slab -on -grade foundation are provided in this report. Alternately, deep foundations can be utilized for the support of the building with the undocumented fills remaining in place. Recommended Pad Improvement for an Approximate 1-inch PVR Building pad preparation requirements on clayey sites depend as much on the soil moisture condition at the time of construction as on the expansive properties of the clay. Typically, the geotechnical engineer does not know the climate conditions that will exist at the time of construction since he does not know when the structure will be built. Therefore, having the geotechnical engineer retained to review site preparation recommendations and be an active participant in Team Meetings near the time of construction can often result in project cost savings since soil moisture conditions at the time of construction could be more accurately assessed. Additionally, it has been our experience that retaining the same firm for both geotechnical engineering services and construction materials testing is prudent since the geotechnical engineer is most familiar with site conditions and can quickly respond to field challenges. We understand that a desired PVR of about 1-inch is an acceptable amount of movement for the proposed structure and the recommendations provided in this report are based on this premise. Although this is typically an acceptable magnitude of movement for this type of project, it should be understood that a 1-inch PVR can result in some cracking requiring periodic maintenance; but the structural integrity of the building should be maintained. If project requirements dictate a different magnitude of PVR, we should be informed so that modifications to our recommendations may be made. The shade structure pad, plus a 5-foot wide overbuild or greater to include adjacent flatwork, should be stripped of vegetation and excavated, as necessary, to provide the required select fill thickness beneath the slab. If subgrade improvements are not made beneath the entryways and surrounding flatwork, the full extent of the PVR movements should be expected. A minimum of four (4) feet of existing soil below the existing site surface should be removed and replaced as shown in Table 3 and 15. Select Fill should be utilized to meet the planned final floor elevation of the shade structure. Prior to the placement of material, the exposed subgrade area should be proof rolled with a rubber wheeled roller to identify any soft areas, if present. Weak or soft areas evidenced during proof rolling, should be over -excavated and replaced as outlined in Table 3 and 15. After proof rolling, the subgrade should be moisture conditioned and compacted as per Table 15.

The shade structure pad improvements will be used with a slab on grade with exterior and interior grade beams. If PVR reduction is not required by the Client using select fill and the natural soil conditions will be used for the slab design, we can provide additional soil parameters upon request. If structures are to be constructed over the swimming pool fill area, all the undocumented fills should be removed and be replaced with compacted select fill. 2. Following stripping operations, undercut the existing soils from beneath the slab areas by at least three (3) feet below existing ground surface and replace with select fill. Select Fill material should be utilized to achieve the planned final floor elevation. 3. Undercutting should extend laterally to provide at least a 5-foot overbuild beyond the building perimeter 4. After excavation, the exposed subgrade should be thoroughly rolled with a rubber wheeled roller. Passes should be performed with passes alternating in directions perpendicular to each other until compaction of the surface meets the requirement shown in Table 15. Any area that yields under the roller loading should be undercut to the depth specified by the geotechnical engineer and replaced with compacted fill as specified by the Geotechnical Engineer and outlined in Table 15. If deleterious material, rubble, or debris is encountered, they should be removed to firmer materials and disposed of properly. The void should then be replaced with properly compacted select fill. It is important that the site preparation operations be observed and tested by one of our ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 6 Arias Job No. 2023-441 representatives to verify that these recommendations are followed. A loaded dump truck or any rubber -tired equipment should not be used for proof rolling. After proof rolling, the subgrade should be tested for density and moisture content to the specifications as noted in Table 15. 5. The shade structure pad should be constructed using select fill. The select fill material should be placed within 48 hours of completion of the subgrade compaction and should be placed in maximum 8-inch loose lifts as specified in SECTION I, Table 15 (Project Compaction, Moisture and Testing Requirements). If PVR reduction is not required by the Client using select fill and the natural soil conditions will be used for the slab design, we can provide additional soil parameters upon request. 6. For construction equipment access, and to help in providing a more "all-weather" working surface, we recommend placing at least six (6) inches of compacted crushed limestone base meeting the requirements of 2004 TXDOT Item 247, Type A, Grade 1 - 2 which can be considered as the top six (6) inches of the select fill. 7. If additional select fill thickness is necessary to achieve final design grade, fill should consist of material meeting the requirements in Table 3 above. 8. A horizontal barrier should extend at least 10 feet horizontally beyond the perimeter of the foundation. The barrier can consist of concrete or asphalt paving, concrete flatwork or at least 24" of compacted import clay (PI between 20 and 40). Any landscaping located within 10 feet of the structure foundation should be placed in watertight above -grade planter boxes with drainage discharge on top of adjacent flatwork/paving. We recommend that the perimeter grade beam be constructed to a depth of at least 24 inches to aid in reducing the potential for moisture fluctuation beneath the building pad. The final grade beam depth and recommended construction should be determined by the structural engineer. The slab vapor retarder plastic should be extended from beneath the slab down to the inside face (building pad side) of the grade beam trench. In unpaved areas at the perimeter of the planned shade structure, a 2-foot-thick clay cap (see Note 8, Table 3) should be constructed. This clay cap should aid in reducing the chances for surface water from infiltrating into the more pervious recompacted soils or select fill and pond on top of the underlying, less permeable subgrade. A PVR exceeding 1-inch can occur if water is allowed to readily pond on top of the clayey subgrade beneath the select fill body. Clean imported soils (PI of 20 to 40, if present) can be used to construct the clay cap. The clay cap should be moisture conditioned to between 0 and +4 percentage points of optimum moisture content and then compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density determined by ASTM D 698. If flatwork or pavement surrounds the perimeter of the building, the referenced clay cap is not warranted. If planters are planned, they should consist of sealed boxes, not allowing irrigation water to seep into the building select fill overbuild. Prior to the placement of select fill, the exposed subgrade area should be proof rolled to identify any soft areas, if present. Proof rolling should be accomplished using a loaded dump truck weighing at least 15 tons. Weak or soft areas evidenced during proof rolling should be over - excavated and replaced as outlined in Table 4 of this report. The upper 8 inches of exposed subgrade should then be scarified, moisture conditioned, compacted, and tested. After moisture conditioning and compacting the subgrade, the building pad should be constructed using crushed limestone base material meeting the requirements of 2004 TXDOT Item 247, Type A, Grade 1 or 2 to provide for a more "all-weather" working surface. Stiffened Beam and Slab -on -Grade Foundation A grid type beam and slab -on -grade foundation is generally used to support relatively light structures upon expansive soils where soil conditions are relatively uniform, and where uplift and ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 7 Arias Job No. 2023-441 settlement can be tolerated. The intent of a stiffened beam and slab -on -grade foundation is to allow the structure and foundation to move up and down with soil movements while providing sufficient stiffness to limit differential movements within the superstructure to an acceptable magnitude. A stiffened grid type beam and slab -on -grade foundation may be utilized for the proposed shade structure provided it is designed specifically for these soil conditions. Also, the building pad and/or site must be improved as outlined in the previous report section. There are various design methods for use by the structural engineer to select the grade beams depths and beam spacings for this project. The foundations may be designed using Building Research Board No. 33 (BRAB Report) as a guideline. Alternatively, the foundations may be designed based on the Design of Slab -On -Ground Foundations published by the Wire Reinforcement Institute, Inc. (August 1981). Provided in the following table is the design criteria for both methods. Table 4: BRAB and WRI Foundation Design Criteria — Design PVR of about 1 Inch Design Method BRAB WRI Design PVR About 1 inch Climatic Rating (Cw) — Fort Worth, Texas 18 Effective Plasticity Index 19 Support Index (C) 0.95 -- Soil/Climatic Rating Factor (1-C) -- 0.05 Unconfined Compressive Strength (tsf) 1.5 -- Note: The above design values assume that the shade structure pad has been improved as outlined in this report for an approximate design PVR of 1 inch. A stiffened beam and slab type foundation may also be designed for the shade structure using the 3rd Edition of the Design of Post -Tensioned Slabs -on -Ground published by the Post - Tensioning Institute. These values were estimated from the "Volflo" computer program in consideration of the soil conditions in the area of the planned building. Provided in the following tables are design criteria for this method.

Table 6: Allowable Bearing Pressure and Beam Penetration Allowable Bearing Pressure 3,000 psf Bearing Stratum at Bottom of Grade Beams I Compacted Select Fill Min. Penetration of Beams Below Final Grade for Bearing Pressure Requirements 24 inches Note: Actual beam depth should be determined by structural engineer. The minimum penetration below final grade is necessary to reduce scour potential and the potential for water penetration under the foundations. Arias is providing design values for BRAB and WRI methods for the Structural Engineer's consideration and possible use. Arias recommends that the final design methodology for the planned foundations be selected by the project Structural Engineer based on his knowledge and experience with similar foundation conditions. Grade beams based at the recommended depth, and found within the compacted select fill, should be designed for the allowable soil bearing capacity provided above. Grade beams may be thickened and widened at concentrated loads to serve as spread footings. The beams and widened columns should be a minimum of 10 and 12 inches wide, respectively, for shear resistance. The grade beams should extend at least 24 inches below final grade within the compacted select fill. We recommend that at least a 10-mil vapor retarder be used under the slab. The vapor retarder should conform to ASTM E1745, Class C or better and shall have a maximum water vapor permeance of 0.044 perms when tested in accordance with ASTM E96. A 10 mil Stego Wrap by Stego Industries LLC or other similar products meeting these requirements would be acceptable. ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 9 Arias Job No. 2023-441 Drilled Pier Foundation Recommendations As an alternate, deep foundation can be utilized for the proposed shade structure. Recommendations for evaluation of axial capacity and lateral capacity for the piers are presented in the following tables. Pier capacities for axial loading were evaluated based on design methodologies included in FHWA-IF-99-025 - Drilled Shafts: Construction Procedures and Design Methods. Due to the presence of highly expansive clays within the moisture active zone, the shafts will experience uplift due to swelling. However, due to the pavement covered subgrade the swelling effect will be reduced. Table 7: Drilled Pier Design Parameters Axial Caoacitv Recommended Design Parameters Allowable Allowable End Uplift Force, Depth Material Skin Friction, psf Bearing, psf kips 0 to 2 SANDY LEAN CLAY with Gravel NEGLECT FOR MOISTURE ACTIVE (CL) ZONE 2 to 6 CLAYEY GRAVEL with Sand NEGLECT 20*D 6 to 12 CLAYEY SHALE Neglect Neglect 12 to 25 Weathered LIMESTONE 3,000 30,000 Constraints to be Imposed During Pier Design Straight shaft drilled Piers at least 15 feet below the existing surface. Minimum embedment depth Deeper depths may be required to resist compressive, uplift, pullout, or lateral loads as determined by the Project Structural Engineer. If piers are designed to be deeper than 20-feet, we should be contacted to provide additional borings and recommendations. Minimum Void Space under Pier Caps 8 inches Notes: 1. For straight shaft piers, the contribution of the soils for the top 10 feet of soil embedment and for a length equal to at least 1 pier diameter from the bottom of the shaft or the top 15 feet, whichever is greater, should be neglected in determination of friction capacity for compression loading. The recommended design parameters include a factor of safety of 3 for skin friction and a factor of safety of 2 or greater for end bearing, per TxDOT Geotechnical Manual (July 2020). 2. Total settlement of piers is expected to be less than 1 inch. Estimated settlements are based on performance of properly installed piers. A detailed settlement estimate is outside of the scope of this service. ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 10 Arias Job No. 2023-441 3. Sufficient reinforcing steel should be placed within the pier to account for tension and lateral loading as applicable. Pier vertical reinforcing steel should be designed to resist the uplift forces from swelling soils and uplift and lateral forces from wind loading. The final reinforcing requirements should be determined by the project structural engineer. Tensile rebar steel should be designed in accordance with ACI Code Requirements. 4. A minimum shaft diameter of 18 inches is recommended. Larger shaft diameters may be required, as determined by the structural engineer. 5. The uplift force resulting from expansion of soils in the active zone may be computed using the above formula in Table 4 above where D is the shaft diameter in feet. For drilled straight -sided piers, the contribution from soils to resist uplift is the allowable skin friction resistance of the soils below the 15-ft. For uplift loading only, the allowable skin resistance for the bottom 1 pier diameter can be used. Sustained dead loads will also aid in resisting uplift forces. 6. The Contractor should verify groundwater conditions before production drilled shaft installation begins. Temporary casing and/or drilling slurry may be needed due to potential perched groundwater conditions, dependent on seasonal conditions. Payment provisions for temporary casing and for placement of concrete by the tremie method are recommended for inclusion in the Contract Documents. 7. Comments pertaining to high -torque drilling equipment, groundwater, temporary casing, and possible use of drilling slurry are based on generalized conditions encountered at the explored locations. Conditions at individual shaft locations may differ from those presented and may require that these techniques be implemented to successfully install drilled shafts. Lateral pile analyses including capacity, maximum shear, and maximum bending moment will be evaluated by the project structural engineer using LPILE or similar software. In the following table, Arias presents geotechnical input parameters for the encountered soils at the project site. Please note that the depths to the top and bottom of each layer were interpreted using data at the explored boring locations and layer boundaries as shown on the boring logs.

Thus, we anticipate that high -torque drilling equipment will be required for pier installation at this site. The Contractor should be familiar with and prepared for such conditions. Drilled Piers Construction Considerations The contractor should verify groundwater conditions before production pier installation begins. Comments pertaining to high -torque drilling equipment, groundwater, slurry, and temporary casing are based on generalized conditions encountered at the explored locations. Conditions at individual pier locations may differ from those presented and may require that these issues be implemented to successfully install piers. Construction considerations for drilled pier foundations are outlined in the following table. Table 9: Drilled Pier Installation Considerations Recommended installation procedure FHWA-NHI-10-016, May 2010 High -torque drilling equipment anticipated Possible, hard clays encountered Possible if subsurface soil and groundwater conditions Casing or Groundwater anticipated dictate, lean clays encountered which may cause caving issues Concrete placement Same day as drilling.

If tremie is used, care should be taken to place the tremie in the center of the shaft and not Concrete installation method needed if water allow the concrete to ricochet of shaft walls and/or accumulates reinforcing steel. The concrete "head" should be kept above the ground surface during the pulling of the temporary steel casing in order to maintain the hole integrity and to displace possible ground water. Geotechnical engineer's representative should be present during drilling of all piers, should observe drilling and verify the installed depth, should verify Quality assurance monitoring material type at the base of excavation, cleanliness of base, depth of existing groundwater, if present, and should observe placement of reinforcing and placement of concrete. ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 12 Arias Job No. 2023-441 Notes: 1. The contractor should verify groundwater conditions before production pier installation begins. Temporary casing may be needed due to groundwater conditions, dependent on seasonal conditions. Payment provisions for temporary casing by foot are recommended for inclusion in the Contract Documents. 2. Comments pertaining to high -torque drilling equipment, groundwater, temporary casing, and slurry drilling methods are based on generalized conditions encountered at the explored locations. Importantly, these are considered means and methods and are the sole responsibility of the contractor. Conditions at individual pier locations may differ from those presented and may require that these techniques be implemented to successfully install piers. 3. The following installation techniques will aid in successful construction of the shafts: a. The clear spacing between rebar or behind the rebar cage should be at least 3 times the maximum size of coarse aggregate. b. Centralizers on the rebar cage should be installed to keep the cage properly positioned. c. Cross -bracing of a reinforcing cage may be used when fabricating, transporting, and/or lifting. However, experience has shown that cross -bracing can contribute to the development of voids in a concrete shaft. Therefore, we recommend the removal of the cross -bracing prior to lowering the cage in the open shaft. d. The use of a tremie should be employed so that concrete is directed in a controlled manner down the center of the shaft to the shaft bottom. The concrete should not be allowed to ricochet off the pier reinforcing steel nor off the pier side walls nor should the concrete "head" be allowed to drop below the ground surface during the pulling of the casing. e. The pier concrete should be designed to achieve the desired design strength when placed at a 7-inch slump, plus or minus 1-inch tolerance. Adding water to a mix designed for a lower slump does not meet these recommendations. IBC Site Classification and Seismic Design Coefficients Section 1613 of the International Building Code (2021) requires that every structure be designed and constructed to resist the effects of earthquake motions, with the seismic design category to be determined in accordance with Section 1613 or ASCE 7. Site classification according to the International Building Code (2021) is based on the soil profile encountered to the 100-foot depth. The stratigraphy at the site location was explored to a maximum 25-foot depth. Material having similar consistency were extrapolated to be present between the 25 and 100-foot depths. On the basis of the site class definitions included in the 2021 Code and the encountered generalized stratigraphy, we characterize the site as Site Class C. Seismic design coefficients were determined using the on-line software. Analyses were performed considering the 2021 International Building Code. Input included GPS coordinates and Site Class C. Seismic design parameters for the site are summarized in the following table. Table 10: Seismic Design Parameters Site Class Fa F„ SS S, C 1.30 1.50 0.09g 0.05g Where: Fa = Site coefficient Fv = Site coefficient Ss = Mapped spectral response acceleration for short periods S, = Mapped spectral response acceleration for a 1-second period ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 13 Arias Job No. 2023-441 Pavement Recommendations One (1) boring was performed to explore the subsurface condition for the proposed improvement. Based on the results of the field exploration and the laboratory testing, the subgrade within the alignment of the proposed pathway/pavement may consist of clay (CH) with varying amounts of sand and gravel. The design of the trail sections should adequately handle the anticipated pedestrian and light -duty traffic use. The pavement recommendations were prepared in accordance with the 1993 AASHTO Guide for the Design of Pavement Structures for asphalt and the ACI Design Guide for Design and Construction of Concrete Parking Lots for concrete. The following design parameters and assumptions were used in our analysis: Table 11: Pavement Desiqn Assumptions (1) Concrete -Paved Hike and Bike Trail Pavement Type (preferred) (2) Asphalt -Paved Hike and Bike Trail (optional) Traffic Load for Light -Duty Pavement 15,000 equivalent single axle loads (ESALs) Concrete Compressive Strength 3,000 psi Raw Subgrade California Bearing Ratio 3 for compacted soil subgrade (CBR) Raw Subgrade Modulus of Subgrade 100 for compacted soil subgrade Reaction, k in pci Based on our experience with similar projects constructed on similar soils and our design assumptions, we recommend the following minimum thickness values be used to construct the planned trails. Table 12: Recommended Pavement Sections for Trails Flexible Rigid Layer Material Asphaltic Concrete Concrete Surface HMAC/PCC 2" 5" Base Flexible Base 6" -- Subgrade Moisture 6" 6" Conditioned ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 14 Arias Job No. 2023-441 Rigid Concrete Pavement Joints Placement of expansion joints in concrete paving on potentially expansive subgrade or on granular subgrade subject to piping often results in horizontal and vertical movement at the joint. Many times, concrete spalls adjacent to the joint and eventually a failed concrete area result. This problem is primarily related to water infiltration through the joint. One method to mitigate the problem of water infiltration through the joints is to eliminate all expansion joints that are not necessary. It is our opinion that expansion or isolation joints are needed only adjacent to where the pavement abuts intersecting drive lanes and other structures. Elimination of all expansion joints within the main body of the pavement area would significantly reduce access of moisture into the subgrade. Regardless of the type of expansion joint sealant used, eventually openings in the sealant occur resulting in water infiltration into the subgrade. The use of sawed and sealed joints should be designed in accordance with current Portland Cement Association (PCA) or American Concrete Institute (ACI) guidelines. Research has proven that joint design and layout can have a significant effect on the overall performance of concrete pavement. Recommendations presented herein are based on the use of reinforced concrete pavement. Local experience has shown that the use of distributed steel placed at a distance of 1/3 slab thickness from the top is of benefit in crack control for concrete pavements. Improved crack control also reduces the potential for water infiltration. The use of a perimeter turned down beam should also be strongly considered for the rigid concrete section. Pavement Subgrade and Section Materials Recommendations for subgrade preparation in the planned pavement areas are summarized in Table 13. Table 13: Pavement Subqrade and Section Materials Stripping Depth 6 inches or as needed to remove roots and organics Reuse Excavated Soils Provided they are free of roots and debris and meet the general fill material requirements.

If pavement placement is delayed, protection of the base surface with an emulsion -based sealer should be considered. Alternately, the paving section could be slightly overbuilt so blading performed to remove distressed sections does not reduce the base thickness. We understand that a planned parking lot at the Mission Road trailhead will be provided as part of a separate project. Therefore, it was not part of our scope of services to provide pavement recommendations for said planned parking lot. CONSTRUCTION CRITERIA Site Preparation Strip away any surficial material, topsoil, grass, organics, soft or wet materials, and deleterious debris as needed and dispose outside of the trail pavement areas. Undercut to the required depth and extent as noted in the main report. Additional excavation may also be necessary due to encountering deleterious materials such as buried debris and/or rubble, or undesirable soft and wet subgrade conditions and/or existing fill materials. The site representative of the geotechnical engineer should observe undercutting operations. Unless passing density reports are provided for a specific area, existing fill soils found during the excavation should be considered as uncertified and removed to suitable natural soils. After the surface materials are removed, the exposed subgrade surface should be proof rolled with a heavily loaded dump truck weighing at least 20 tons. Any areas which excessively yield or pump under the wheel loading should be undercut to the depth specified by the geotechnical ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 16 Arias Job No. 2023-441 engineer's representative and replaced with compacted select fill to existing grade as specified. The voids in undercut areas can be backfilled and compacted with on -site general fill materials. Table 14: Site Work (Non-Structural/General Fill) Requirements Stripping Depth 6-inch minimum or as needed to remove any existing asphalt, concrete, and vegetation On -site material free of roots, debris and other Non-Structural/General Fill Type deleterious material with a maximum particle size of 4 inches Maximum Non-Structural/General Fill Loose Lift Thickness 9 inches The backfill should be placed and compacted in accordance with Table 15.

Drainage Good positive drainage during and after construction is very important to reduce expansive soil volume changes that can detrimentally affect the performance of the planned development. Proper attention to surface and subsurface drainage details during the design and construction phase of development can aid in preventing many potential soil shrink -swell related problems during and following the completion of the project. ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 17 Arias Job No. 2023-441 GENERAL COMMENTS This report was prepared as an instrument of service for this project exclusively for the use of Dunaway and the project design team. If the development plans change relative to layout, anticipated traffic loads, or if different subsurface conditions are encountered during construction, we should be informed and retained to ascertain the impact of these changes on our recommendations. We cannot be responsible for the potential impact of these changes if we are not informed. Design Review Arias should be given the opportunity to review the design and construction documents. The purpose of this review is to check to see if our recommendations are properly interpreted into the project plans and specifications. Please note that design review was not included in the authorized scope and additional fees may apply. Subsurface Variations Soil and groundwater conditions may vary away from the sample boring locations. Transition boundaries or contacts, noted on the boring logs to separate soil types, are approximate. Actual contacts may be gradual and vary at different locations. The contractor should verify that similar conditions exist throughout the proposed area of excavation. If different subsurface conditions or highly variable subsurface conditions are encountered during construction, we should be contacted to evaluate the significance of the changed conditions relative to our recommendations. Quality Assurance Testing The long-term success of the project will be affected by the quality of materials used for construction and the adherence of the construction to the project plans and specifications. As Geotechnical Engineer of Record (GER), we should be engaged by the Owner to provide Quality Assurance (QA) testing. Our services will be to evaluate the degree to which constructors are achieving the specified conditions they're contractually obligated to achieve and observe that the encountered materials during earthwork for foundation and pavement installation are consistent with those encountered during this study. In the event that Arias is not retained to provide QA testing, we should be immediately contacted if differing subsurface conditions are encountered during construction. Differing materials may require modification to the recommendations that we provided herein. A message to the Owner with regard to the project QA is provided in the GBA publication included in Appendix E. Arias has an established in-house laboratory that meets the standards of the American Standard Testing Materials (ASTM) specifications of ASTM E-329 defining requirements for Inspection and Testing Agencies for soil, concrete, steel and bituminous materials as used in construction.

APPENDIX C: LABORATORY AND FIELD TEST PROCEDURES ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. C-1 Arias Job No. 2023-441 FIELD AND LABORATORY EXPLORATION The field exploration program included drilling at selected locations within the site and intermittently sampling the encountered materials. The boreholes were drilled using single flight augers (ASTM D 1452). Samples of encountered materials were obtained using a split -barrel sampler while performing the Standard Penetration Test (ASTM D 1586) and with a thin -walled Shelby Tube Sampler (ASTM D 1587). The sample depth interval and type of sampler used is included on the soil boring log. Arias' field representative visually logged each recovered sample and placed a portion of the recovered sampled into a plastic bag for transport to our laboratory. SPT N values and blow counts for those intervals where the sampler could not be advanced for the required 18-inch penetration are shown on the soil boring log. If the test was terminated during the 6-inch seating interval or after 10 hammer blows were applied used and no advancement of the sampler was noted, the log denotes this condition as blow count during seating penetration. Penetrometer readings recorded for thin -walled tube samples that remained intact also are shown on the soil boring logs. Arias performed soil mechanics laboratory tests on selected samples to aid in soil classification and to determine engineering properties. Tests commonly used in geotechnical exploration, the method used to perform the test, and the designation on the boring log where data are reported are summarized as follows: Test Name Test Method Log Designation Water (moisture) content of soil and rock by mass ASTM D 2216 WC Liquid limit, plastic limit, and plasticity index of soils ASTM D 4318 PL, LL, PI Amount of material in soils finer than the No. 200 sieve ASTM D 1140 -200 The laboratory results are reported on the soil boring logs.

APPENDIX E: GBA INFORMATION ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. E-1 Arias Job No. 2023-441 r- Geotechnical-Engineering Report --) The Geoprofessional Business Association (GBA) has prepared this advisory to help you — assumedly a client representative — interpret and apply this geotechnical-engineering report as effectively as possible. In that way, clients can benefit from a lowered exposure to the subsurface problems that, for decades, have been a principal cause of construction delays, cost overruns, claims, and disputes. If you have questions or want more information about any of the issues discussed below, contact your GBA-member geotechnical engineer. Active involvement in the Geoprofessional Business Association exposes geotechnical engineers to a wide array of risk -confrontation techniques that can be of genuine benefit for everyone involved with a construction project. Geotechnical-Engineering Services Are Performed for Specific Purposes, Persons, and Projects Geotechnical engineers structure their services to meet the specific needs of their clients. A geotechnical-engineering study conducted for a given civil engineer will not likely meet the needs of a civil - works constructor or even a different civil engineer. Because each geotechnical-engineering study is unique, each geotechnical- engineering report is unique, prepared solely for the client. Those who rely on a geotechnical-engineering report prepared for a different client can be seriously misled. No one except authorized client representatives should rely on this geotechnical-engineering report without first conferring with the geotechnical engineer who prepared it. And no one - not even you - should apply this report for any purpose or project except the one originally contemplated. Read this Report in Full Costly problems have occurred because those relying on a geotechnical- engineering report did not read it in its entirety. Do not rely on an executive summary. Do not read selected elements only. Read this report in full. You Need to Inform Your Geotechnical Engineer about Change Your geotechnical engineer considered unique, project -specific factors when designing the study behind this report and developing the confirmation -dependent recommendations the report conveys. A few typical factors include: • the client's goals, objectives, budget, schedule, and risk -management preferences; • the general nature of the structure involved, its size, configuration, and performance criteria; • the structure's location and orientation on the site; and • other planned or existing site improvements, such as retaining walls, access roads, parking lots, and underground utilities. Typical changes that could erode the reliability of this report include those that affect: • the site's size or shape; • the function of the proposed structure, as when it's changed from a parking garage to an office building, or from a light -industrial plant to a refrigerated warehouse; • the elevation, configuration, location, orientation, or weight of the proposed structure; • the composition of the design team; or • project ownership. As a general rule, always inform your geotechnical engineer of project changes - even minor ones - and request an assessment of their impact. The geotechnical engineer who prepared this report cannot accept responsibility or liability for problems that arise because the geotechnical engineer was not informed about developments the engineer otherwise would have considered. This Report May Not Be Reliable Do not rely on this report if your geotechnical engineer prepared it: • for a different client; • for a different project; • for a different site (that may or may not include all or a portion of the original site); or • before important events occurred at the site or adjacent to it; e.g., man-made events like construction or environmental remediation, or natural events like floods, droughts, earthquakes, or groundwater fluctuations. Note, too, that it could be unwise to rely on a geotechnical-engineering report whose reliability may have been affected by the passage of time, because of factors like changed subsurface conditions; new or modified codes, standards, or regulations; or new techniques or tools. If your geotechnical engineer has not indicated an `apply -by" date on the report, ask what it should be, and, in general, if you are the least bit uncertain about the continued reliability of this report, contact your geotechnical engineer before applying it. A minor amount of additional testing or analysis - if any is required at all - could prevent major problems. Most of the "Findings" Related in This Report Are Professional Opinions Before construction begins, geotechnical engineers explore a site's subsurface through various sampling and testing procedures. Geotechnical engineers can observe actual subsurface conditions only at those specific locations where sampling and testing were performed. The data derived from that sampling and testing were reviewed by your geotechnical engineer, who then applied professional judgment to form opinions about subsurface conditions throughout the site. Actual sitewide-subsurface conditions may differ - maybe significantly - from those indicated in this report. Confront that risk by retaining your geotechnical engineer to serve on the design team from project start to project finish, so the individual can provide informed guidance quickly, whenever needed. This Report's Recommendations Are Confirmation -Dependent The recommendations included in this report - including any options or alternatives - are confirmation -dependent. In other words, they are not final, because the geotechnical engineer who developed them relied heavily on judgment and opinion to do so. Your geotechnical engineer can finalize the recommendations only after observing actual subsurface conditions revealed during construction. If through observation your geotechnical engineer confirms that the conditions assumed to exist actually do exist, the recommendations can be relied upon, assuming no other changes have occurred. The geotechnical engineer who prepared this report cannot assume responsibility or liability for confirmation - dependent recommendations if you fail to retain that engineer to perform construction observation. This Report Could Be Misinterpreted Other design professionals' misinterpretation of geotechnical- engineering reports has resulted in costly problems. Confront that risk by having your geotechnical engineer serve as a full-time member of the design team, to: • confer with other design -team members, help develop specifications, • review pertinent elements of other design professionals' plans and specifications, and be on hand quickly whenever geotechnical-engineering guidance is needed. You should also confront the risk of constructors misinterpreting this report. Do so by retaining your geotechnical engineer to participate in prebid and preconstruction conferences and to perform construction observation. Give Constructors a Complete Report and Guidance Some owners and design professionals mistakenly believe they can shift unanticipated -subsurface -conditions liability to constructors by limiting the information they provide for bid preparation. To help prevent the costly, contentious problems this practice has caused, include the complete geotechnical-engineering report, along with any attachments or appendices, with your contract documents, but be certain to note conspicuously that you've included the material for informational purposes only. To avoid misunderstanding, you may also want to note that "informational purposes" means constructors have no right to rely on the interpretations, opinions, conclusions, or recommendations in the report, but they may rely on the factual data relative to the specific times, locations, and depths/elevations referenced. Be certain that constructors know they may learn about specific project requirements, including options selected from the report, only from the design drawings and specifications. Remind constructors that they may perform their own studies if they want to, and be sure to allow enough time to permit them to do so. Only then might you be in a position to give constructors the information available to you, while requiring them to at least share some of the financial responsibilities stemming from unanticipated conditions. Conducting prebid and preconstruction conferences can also be valuable in this respect. Read Responsibility Provisions Closely Some client representatives, design professionals, and constructors do not realize that geotechnical engineering is far less exact than other engineering disciplines. That lack of understanding has nurtured unrealistic expectations that have resulted in disappointments, delays, cost overruns, claims, and disputes. To confront that risk, geotechnical engineers commonly include explanatory provisions in their reports. Sometimes labeled "limitations," many of these provisions indicate where geotechnical engineers' responsibilities begin and end, to help others recognize their own responsibilities and risks. Read these provisions closely. Ask questions. Your geotechnical engineer should respond fully and frankly. Geoenvi ron mental Concerns Are Not Covered The personnel, equipment, and techniques used to perform an environmental study - e.g., a "phase -one" or "phase -two" environmental site assessment - differ significantly from those used to perform a geotechnical-engineering study. For that reason, a geotechnical- engineering report does not usually relate any environmental findings, conclusions, or recommendations; e.g., about the likelihood of encountering underground storage tanks or regulated contaminants. Unanticipated subsurface environmental problems have led to project failures. If you have not yet obtained your own environmental information, ask your geotechnical consultant for risk -management guidance. As a general rule, do not rely on an environmental report prepared for a different client, site, or project, or that is more than six months old. Obtain Professional Assistance to Deal with Moisture Infiltration and Mold While your geotechnical engineer may have addressed groundwater, water infiltration, or similar issues in this report, none of the engineer's services were designed, conducted, or intended to prevent uncontrolled migration of moisture - including water vapor - from the soil through building slabs and walls and into the building interior, where it can cause mold growth and material -performance deficiencies. Accordingly, proper implementation of the geotechnical engineer's recommendations will not of itself be sufficient to prevent moisture infiltration. Confront the risk of moisture infiltration by including building -envelope or mold specialists on the design team. Geotechnical engineers are not building - envelope or mold specialists.

APPENDIX F: PROJECT QUALITY ASSURANCE ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. F-1 Arias Job No. 2023-441 A Message to Owners from ASFE/GBA E BUSINESS ASSOC ASFSIONAL IATION 8811 Colesville Road Suite G106 Silver Spring, Maryland 20910 Voice: 301.565.2733 Fax: 301.589.2017 E-mail: info@asfe.org Internet: www.asfe.org Construction -materials engineering and testing (CoMET) consultants perform quality -assurance (QA) services to evaluate how well constructors are achieving the specified conditions they're contractually obligated to achieve. Done right, QA can save you time and money while helping you manage project risks by detecting molehills before they grow into mountains you and the design team are forced to climb. Done right, QA can save you time and money; prevent claims and disputes; and reduce risks. Many owners don't do QA right because they follow bad advice. It's ironic that, as important as CoMET consultants can be, some owners and design professionals treat them as though they were commodities. Often referred to incorrectly as "testing labs," CoMET consultants create the last line of defense against costly construction errors and the delays, change orders, claims, disputes, and litigation that can result. Why would owners entrust such an important responsibility to the firm offering to fulfill it for the lowest fee as opposed to the one whose qualifications enable it to offer the best service and the most value? The answer: Too many owners follow bad advice; e.g., "CoMET consultants are all the same. They all follow the same standards. They all have accredited laboratories and certified personnel. Go with the low bidder." That's bad advice because there's no such thing as a standard QA scope of service, meaning that — to bid — each interested firm must develop its own scope ... and it has to be a cheap scope in order to offer the low fee the owner apparently prefers. A cheap scope cannot help but jeopardize service quality, aggravating risk for you and the entire project team. Of course, some firms will offer what seems to be a better scope at a "low -ball," less - than -cost bid in order to win the commission and then earn a profit through multiple change orders. You have too much at stake to follow bad advice. Consider these facts. Fact: Most COMET farms are not accredited, including some that say they are and some that don't even follow the correct standards, even when they say they do. And the quality of those that are accredited varies significantly; some practice at a high level; others just barely scrape by. As such, while accreditation is extremely important, it is far from being a "be-all and end-all." It signifies only that a firm's facilities or operations met the minimum criteria of an accrediting body whose concerns in some cases may have little to do with your project. And the condition of what an accrediting body typically evaluates — management systems, technical staff, facilities, and equipment — can change substantially between on -site accreditation assessments. Most CoMET firms are not accredited and it's dangerous to assume CoMET personnel are certified. Fact: It's dangerous to assume CoMET personnel are certified. Many have no credentials; some are certified by organizations of questionable merit, while others have a valid certification, but not for the services they're assigned. All too many have little training or none at all. Some CoMET firms — the "low-cost providers" — want you to believe that price is the only difference between QA providers. It's not: Firms that sell low price typically lack: • facilities appropriate for many of the projects they accept, • equipment that is well maintained and properly calibrated, • field and laboratory personnel who are well trained and appreciate the importance of their responsibilities, • management with the education, experience, and judgment to provide technical oversight, and • the professional -liability insurance you should require to enjoy peace of mind. Quality -oriented firms invest in the facilities, equipment, personnel, and insurance needed to achieve quality in quality assurance. Quality -oriented firms invest in the facilities, equipment, personnel, and insurance needed to achieve quality in quality assurance. To derive maximum value from your QA investment, have the CoMET firm's project manager serve actively on the project team from beginning to end, a level of service that's relatively inexpensive and can pay huge dividends. During the project's planning and design stages, experienced CoMET professionals can help the design team develop consistent, cost-effective technical specifications and establish appropriate observation, testing, and instrumentation protocols. They can analyze plans and specs much as constructors do, looking for the little errors, omissions, conflicts, and ambiguities that often lead to the misunderstandings and confusion that become the basis for big extras and big claims. They can also provide guidance about operations and materials that need closer review than others, because of their criticality or potential for error or abuse, and even suggest reduced levels of review or testing for areas of a less critical nature, based on local experience. You can also benefit from a CoMET professional's frank assessments of the various constructors that have expressed interest in the project. To derive maximum value, have the COMET project manager serve actively on the project team from beginning to end. CoMET consultants' construction -phase QA services focus on two distinct issues: • those that relate to geotechnical engineering and • those that relate to the other elements of construction. Geotechnical-engineering issues are critically important because they are essential to the "observational method" geotechnical engineers use to help their clients save time and money while maintaining a "healthy respect" for the unknown in the underground. In essence, the observational method is an overall approach that begins during the earliest element of the design phase and carries through 2 to the construction phase. Geotechnical engineers initiate this approach by applying their knowledge of local geological conditions to develop an economical subsurface -sampling plan. Proper execution of the plan should derive just enough samples from just enough areas to permit an experienced geotechnical engineer to develop an assumed -subsurface profile. Because so much depends on the reliability of each sample, quality -focused geotechnical engineers often insist that their own personnel perform or oversee the sampling process, from obtaining the samples to packaging, storing, and transporting them to a trusted laboratory, using their own equipment and facilities or relying on others' they know they can trust. Combining the assumed subsurface profile with knowledge of what is being constructed — e.g., its dimensions, weight, anticipated use, and performance objectives — geotechnical engineers develop provisional recommendations for the structure's foundations and for the specifications of various "geo" elements, like excavations, site grading, foundation -bearing grades, and roadway and parking -lot preparation and surfacing. When geotechnical engineers know that their personnel will be on site observing subsurface conditions as they are exposed, they usually will recommend the most cost-effective design their assumptions make practical, knowing that — if their assumed -subsurface profile is "off' in any significant way — the variances will be caught (that's what they teach their field personnel to do), permitting them to "tweak" their recommendations in the field. It is essential to realize that geotechnical engineers cannot finalize their recommendations until they or their field representatives are on site to observe what's excavated to verify that the subsurface conditions the engineers predicted are those that actually exist. Geotechnical engineers cannot finalize their recommendations until they are on site to verify that the subsurface conditions they predicted are those that actually exist. Entrusting geotechnical field observation to someone other than the geotechnical engineer of record creates a significant risk. Insofar as other elements of construction are concerned, many geotechnical-engineering firms have obliged their clients by expanding their field -services mix, so they're able to perform overall construction QA, encompassing — in addition to geotechnical issues — reinforced concrete, structural steel, structural masonry, fireproofing, and so on, Unfortunately, that's caused some confusion. Believing that all CoMET consultants are alike, some owners take bids for the overall COMET package, including the geotechnical field observation, thus curtailing services of the geotechnical engineer of record (GER). Entrusting geotechnical field observation to someone other than the GER creates a significant risk. GERs have developed a variety of protocols to optimize the quality of their field -observation procedures. Quality -focused GERs meet with their field representatives before the representatives leave for a project site, to brief them on what to look for and where, when, and how to look. (No one can duplicate this briefing, because no one else knows as much about a project's geotechnical issues.) And once they arrive at a project site, the field representatives know to maintain timely, effective communication with the GER, because that's what the GER has trained them to do. By contrast, it's extremely rare for a different firm's field personnel to contact the GER, even when they're concerned or confused about what they observe, because they regard the GER's firm as "the competition." Convoluted project -communications protocols can make this communications breakdown even worse. A different firm is often willing to perform on -site geotechnical review for less money than the GER, frequently because it treats geotechnical field services as a "loss leader" in order to obtain the far larger, overall CoMET commission. Given the significant risk that supplanting the GER creates, accepting the offer is almost always penny-wise and pound- foolish. Still, because some owners accept bad advice, it's commonly done, helping to explain why "geo"issues are the number -one source of construction -industry claims and disputes. Divorcing the GER from geotechnical field operations is almost always penny-wise and pound-foolish, helping to explain why "geo" issues are the number -one source of construction -industry claims and disputes. To derive the biggest bang for the QA buck, identify three or even four quality -focused CoMET consultants. (If you don't know any, use the "Find a Geoprofessional" service available free at www.asfe.ore.) Ask about the firms' ongoing and recent projects and the clients and client representatives involved; insist upon receiving verification of all claimed accreditations, certifications, licenses, and insurance coverages. Insist upon receiving verification of all claimed accreditations, certifications, licenses, and insurance coverages. Once you identify the two or three most qualified firms, meet with their key personnel, preferably at their own facility, so you can inspect their laboratory, speak with management and technical staff, and form an opinion about the firm's capabilities and attitude. Insist that each firm's designated project manager and lead field representative participate in the meeting. You will benefit when those individuals are seasoned QA professionals familiar with construction's rough-and-tumble. Ask about others the firm will assign, too. There's no substitute for experienced, certified personnel who are familiar with the codes and standards involved and know how to: • read and interpret plans and specifications; • perform the necessary observation, inspection, and testing; • document their observations and findings; • interact with constructors' personnel; and • respond to the unexpected. Important. Many of the services CoMET QA field representatives perform — like observing operations and outcomes — require the good judgment afforded by extensive training and experience. Who will be on hand when the unexpected occurs: a 15-year "veteran" or a rookie? Many of the services COMET QA field representatives perform require good judgment. Also consider the tools COMET personnel use. Some firms are fanatical about proper maintenance and calibration; others, less so. Ask to see the firm's calibration records. If the firm doesn't have any, or if they are not current, be cautious: You cannot trust test results derived using equipment that may be out of calibration. Also ask if the firm's laboratory participates in 4 w proficiency testing, relying on a program like the one sponsored by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). And be sure to ask a firm's representatives about their reporting practices, part of the constructor's bid -price competition. (Note that the International Building Code (IBC) requires the owner to pay for Special Inspection (SI) services commonly performed by the COMET consultant as a service separate including report distribution and timeliness, how from QA, to help ensure the independence of they handle notifications of nonconformance, the SI process. Because failure to comply could and how they resolve complaints. result in denial of an occupancy or use permit, having a contractual agreement that conforms Once you identify your preferred firm, meet with to local code requirements is essential.) its representatives again. Provide the approved plans and specifications and other pertinent materials, like a construction schedule, and discuss what's needed to finalize a scope of service that reflects what will be happening on site and when it will occur. Recognize that most CoMET services are performed periodically or randomly, not continuously. Also recognize that a COMET consultant's field representatives cannot be in all places at all times, an important issue when multiple activities are ongoing simultaneously. Ask for guidance about appropriate staffing levels and discuss the trade- offs that may be available. Creating a detailed scope of CoMET QA service can help avoid surprises. Still, scope flexibility is needed to deal promptly with the unanticipated, like the additional services required to check the rework performed because of an error caught in QA. Scope flexibility is needed to deal promptly with the unanticipated. For financing purposes, some owners require the constructor to pay for CoMET services. Consider an alternative approach so you don't convert the constructor into the CoMET consultant's client. If it's essential for you to fund QA via the constructor, have the CoMET fee included as an allowance in the bid documents. This arrangement ensures that you remain the CoMET consultant's client, and it prevents the COMET fee from becoming If it's essential for you to fund QA via the constructor, have the COMET fee included as an allowance in the bid documents. Note, too, that the International Building (ode (IBC) requires you to pay for Special Inspection (SI) services. CoMET consultants can usually quote their fees as unit fees, unit fees with estimated total (invoiced on a unit -fee basis), or lump - sum (invoiced on a percent -completion basis referenced to a schedule of values). No matter which method is used, estimated quantities need to be realistic. Some CoMET firms lower their total -fee estimates by using quantities they know are too low and then request change orders long before construction and the need for QA are complete. Once you and the CoMET consultant settle on the scope of service and fee, enter into a written contract. Established CoMET firms have their own contracts; most owners sign them. Some owners prefer to use different contracts, but that can be a mistake when the contract was prepared for construction services. Professional services are different. Wholly avoidable problems occur when a contract includes provisions that don't apply to the services involved and fails to include those that do. Some owners create wholly avoidable problems by using a contract prepared for construction services. This final note: CoMET consultants perform QA for owners, not constructors. While constructors are commonly given review copies of QA reports as a courtesy, you need to make it clear that constructors do not have a legal right to rely on those reports; i.e., if constructors want to forgo their own observation and testing and rely on results derived from a scope created to meet only the needs of the owner, they must do so at their own risk. In all too many cases where owners have failed to make that clear, constructors have alleged that they did have a legal right to rely on QA reports and, as a ASFETHE GEOPROFESSIONAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION 8811 colesville Road Suite G106 Silver Spring, Maryland 20910 Voice: 301.565.2733 Fax: 301.589.2017 [-mail: info@asfe.org Internet: www.asfe.org result, the CoMET consultant — not they — are responsible for their failure to deliver what they contractually promised to provide.

The planned improvement will include shade structures, pavements, and playground. This study was authorized on Nov. 29, 2023, as part of the signing of Subconsultant Agreement between Arias and LJA Engineering. A Site Vicinity Map is provided in Appendix A as Figure 1 of this report, and a boring location map is provided as Figure 2. SCOPE OF SERVICES The scope of services for this Project was to: • Perform one (1) boring to obtain soil samples for subsequent laboratory testing, as well as to characterize subsurface stratigraphic and groundwater conditions. • Perform geotechnical laboratory testing on recovered samples to evaluate engineering properties of the subgrade materials, as well as for subsurface material characterization. • Present the results of the field and laboratory test data in this report. Environmental studies were not a part of our scope of services, nor was the completion of local or global stability analysis of any retaining walls. SOIL BORING AND LABORATORY TESTING Boring Location and Depths One (1) boring was drilled within the park area as shown in Table 1 below and on the Boring Location Plan provided in Appendix A as Figure 2. Table 1: Boring Depths and Locations Boring No. Latitude Longitude Depth, feet B-2 32' 40' 39.36" N 97' 23' 33.66" W 25 The boring was sampled in accordance with ASTM D1586 procedures for Split Spoon sampling techniques and in accordance with ASTM D 1587 thin wall tube sampling as described in Appendix C. A truck -mounted drill rig using continuous flight augers together with the sampling tool noted was used to secure the subsurface soil samples. Photographs are included in Appendix A, as Figure 4. Soil classifications and borehole logging were conducted during the exploration by our engineering technician working under the supervision of the Project Geotechnical Engineer. Final soil classifications, as seen on the boring logs included in Appendix B, were determined by the Senior Geotechnical Engineer based on laboratory and field test results and applicable ASTM procedures. A key to the terms and symbols used on the boring logs is also included in Appendix B. Laboratory Tests As a supplement to the field exploration, laboratory testing was performed to determine water content, Atterberg Limits, percent passing the US Standard No. 200 sieve, and unconfined compressive strength of soils. The laboratory testing for this project was performed in accordance with applicable ASTM procedures with the specifications and definitions for these tests listed in Appendix C. Remaining samples recovered from this exploration will be routinely discarded following submittal of this report. Results of the laboratory testing are depicted on the logs in Appendix B. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS Generalized stratigraphy and groundwater conditions are discussed in the following sections. The subsurface and groundwater conditions are based on observations at the boring locations to the depths explored during our field operations. Soil conditions may vary between the sample boring locations. Transition boundaries, or contacts, noted on the boring logs to separate soil types, are approximate. Actual contacts may be gradual and vary at different locations. If conditions encountered during construction indicate more variation than established as a result of this study, we should be contacted to evaluate the significance of the changed conditions relative to our recommendations. Existing Fill An existing fill consisting of Silty, clayey sand was encountered in B-2 extending to a depth of 5 feet. Geology The earth materials underlying the project site have been regionally mapped as Fort Worth Limestone and Duck Creek Formation (Kfd). The Fort Worth Limestone typically exists in Fort Worth area and northward and consists of limestone and clay, with 0.2 — 2 feet beds and becoming thicker and more massive southward. ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 2 Arias Job No. 2023-441 Clay and calcareous in medium gray to yellowish brown exist in units 0.1 — 5 feet thick; color changes from medium gray to yellowish brown and forms low rolling hills with the thickness of 25- 35 feet. Duck Creek Formation consists of limestone aphanitic, pyrite nodules up to 0.2 — 2 feet thick, and color change from light to medium gray. Clay with calcareous ranging in 0.1 to 5 feet thick, color changing from medium gray to yellowish brown, with a thickness of 25 to 35 feet. Site Conditions Detailed laboratory and stratigraphy summaries for the Borings are summarized in the following tables.

Not applicable * : Only test in stratum Groundwater A dry soil sampling method was used to obtain the soil samples at the project site. Groundwater was not encountered during our field exploration on January 5, 2024, and the boring caved at 23 ft after completion. The open boreholes were backfilled using mixture of bentonite and soil cuttings generated from the drilling process. Groundwater levels will often change significantly over time and should be verified immediately prior to construction. Water levels in open boreholes may require several hours to several days to stabilize depending on the permeability of the soils. Groundwater levels at this site may differ during construction because fluctuations in groundwater levels can result from seasonal conditions, rainfall, drought, or temperature effects. Pockets or seams of gravels, sands, silts or open fractures and joints can store and transmit "perched" groundwater flow or seepage. Should dewatering become necessary, it is considered means and methods and is solely the responsibility of the contractor. ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 3 Arias Job No. 2023-441 MOISTURE VARIATIONS AND ESTIMATED MOVEMENT The native soils have moderate to high expansion (shrink/swell) characteristics. Expansive clays shrink when they lose water and swell or grow in volume when they gain water. The potential of expansive clays to shrink and swell is typically related to the Plasticity Index (PI). Clays with a higher PI generally have a greater potential for soil volume changes due to moisture content variations. Change in soil moisture is a highly important factor affecting the shrinking and swelling of clays. More pronounced movements are commonly observed when soils are exposed to extreme moisture fluctuations that occur between drought conditions and wet seasons. We estimated potential vertical movement for this site using the Tex-124-E method outlined by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The Tex-124-E method provides an estimate of potential vertical rise (PVR) using the liquid limits, plasticity indices, and existing water contents for soils. The PVR is estimated in the seasonally active zone, which was estimated at a 15-foot depth for this site. Based on this method, we estimate that the PVR is approximately 1% inches at this site for the existing conditions. Estimated PVRs are based upon assumed changes in soil moisture content from a dry to a wet condition; however, soil movements in the field depend on the actual changes in moisture content. Thus, actual soil movements could be less than that calculated if little soil moisture variations occur, or the actual movement could exceed the estimated values if actual soil moisture content changes exceed the wet limits outlined by the PVR method. Such moisture conditions that exceed the limits of the PVR method may be the result of extended droughts, flooding, perched groundwater infiltration, poor surface drainage, and/or leaking irrigation or plumbing lines. DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS Existing Fill Remediation As discussed in the earlier section, existing fill was encountered extending to a depth of 5 feet. The engineering properties of the existing fill cannot be predicted with certainty and foundations supported on the existing fill may experience the issues of settlement and other performance issues. Therefore, it is recommended that prior to construction in the vicinity of the previously existing swimming pool area, the existing fill soil be removed in its entirety and replaced with properly compacted select fill. If drilled piers are planned in the vicinity of the existing fill, the piers will need to be extended beyond the depth of existing fill, such as no existing fill or expansive clay remediation will be required. However, the drilled shaft length will need to be designed to resist the uplift pressures due to the swelling of expansive clays. ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 4 Arias Job No. 2023-441 FOUNDATION DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Both shallow and deep foundation types are utilized in this area. Deep drilled piers are suited to buildings with moderate to heavy loading conditions, or for more movement -sensitive structures. A shallow foundation type consisting of a stiffened beam and slab -on -grade "waffle slab" is a common alternate approach for small to moderate size buildings. This foundation type is typically used for light to moderate loading conditions and can be more cost-effective than a deep foundation system. When founded within expansive soils, subgrade improvement is recommended in order to reduce potential soil and foundation movement to a magnitude acceptable to the owner and design team. Some aesthetic distress, such as floor tile, foundation and wall cracking, is normally acceptable by the owner and design team with this foundation alternative. The undocumented fills may remain in place if the building is supported on drilled piers and the floor slab is suspended. Building Foundation Types and Building Pad Recommendations A stiffened beam and slab -on -grade foundation can be used for the proposed structures, provided that site subgrade improvements are performed to reduce the PVR to approximately 1-inch. Criteria for a stiffened beam and slab -on -grade foundation are provided in this report. Alternately, deep foundations can be utilized for the support of the building with the undocumented fills remaining in place. Recommended Pad Improvement for an Approximate 1-inch PVR Building pad preparation requirements on clayey sites depend as much on the soil moisture condition at the time of construction as on the expansive properties of the clay. Typically, the geotechnical engineer does not know the climate conditions that will exist at the time of construction since he does not know when the structure will be built. Therefore, having the geotechnical engineer retained to review site preparation recommendations and be an active participant in Team Meetings near the time of construction can often result in project cost savings since soil moisture conditions at the time of construction could be more accurately assessed. Additionally, it has been our experience that retaining the same firm for both geotechnical engineering services and construction materials testing is prudent since the geotechnical engineer is most familiar with site conditions and can quickly respond to field challenges. We understand that a desired PVR of about 1-inch is an acceptable amount of movement for the proposed structure and the recommendations provided in this report are based on this premise. Although this is typically an acceptable magnitude of movement for this type of project, it should be understood that a 1-inch PVR can result in some cracking requiring periodic maintenance; but the structural integrity of the building should be maintained. If project requirements dictate a different magnitude of PVR, we should be informed so that modifications to our recommendations may be made. The shade structure pad, plus a 5-foot wide overbuild or greater to include adjacent flatwork, should be stripped of vegetation and excavated, as necessary, to provide the required ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 5 Arias Job No. 2023-441 select fill thickness beneath the slab. If subgrade improvements are not made beneath the entryways and surrounding flatwork, the full extent of the PVR movements should be expected. A minimum of six (6) feet of existing soil below the existing site surface should be removed and replaced as shown in Table 3 and 15. Select Fill should be utilized to meet the planned final floor elevation of the shade structure. Prior to the placement of material, the exposed subgrade area should be proof rolled with a rubber wheeled roller to identify any soft areas, if present. Weak or soft areas evidenced during proof rolling should be over -excavated and replaced as outlined in Table 3 and 15. After proof rolling, the subgrade should be moisture conditioned and compacted as per Table 15.

The shade structure pad improvements will be used with a slab on grade with exterior and interior grade beams. If PVR reduction is not required by the Client using select fill and the natural soil conditions will be used for the ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 6 Arias Job No. 2023-441 slab design, we can provide additional soil parameters upon request. If structures are to be constructed over the swimming pool fill area, all the undocumented fills should be removed and be replaced with compacted select fill. 2. Following stripping operations, undercut the existing soils from beneath the slab areas by at least three (3) feet below existing ground surface and replace with select fill. Select Fill material should be utilized to achieve the planned final floor elevation. 3. Undercutting should extend laterally to provide at least a 5-foot overbuild beyond the building perimeter. 4. After excavation, the exposed subgrade should be thoroughly rolled with a rubber wheeled roller. Passes should be performed with passes alternating in directions perpendicular to each other until compaction of the surface meets the requirement shown in Table 15. Any area that yields under the roller loading should be undercut to the depth specified by the geotechnical engineer and replaced with compacted fill as specified by the Geotechnical Engineer and outlined in Table 15. If deleterious material, rubble, or debris is encountered, they should be removed to firmer materials and disposed of properly. The void should then be replaced with properly compacted select fill. It is important that the site preparation operations be observed and tested by one of our representatives to verify that these recommendations are followed. A loaded dump truck or any rubber -tired equipment should not be used for proof rolling. After proof rolling, the subgrade should be tested for density and moisture content to the specifications as noted in Table 15. 5. The shade structure pad should be constructed using select fill. The select fill material should be placed within 48 hours of completion of the subgrade compaction and should be placed in maximum 8-inch loose lifts as specified in SECTION I, Table 15 (Project Compaction, Moisture and Testing Requirements). If PVR reduction is not required by the Client using select fill and the natural soil conditions will be used for the slab design, we can provide additional soil parameters upon request. 6. For construction equipment access, and to help in providing a more "all-weather" working surface, we recommend placing at least six (6) inches of compacted crushed limestone base meeting the requirements of 2004 TXDOT Item 247, Type A, Grade 1 - 2 which can be considered as the top six (6) inches of the select fill. 7. If additional select fill thickness is necessary to achieve final design grade, fill should consist of material meeting the requirements in Table 3 above. 8. A horizontal barrier should extend at least 10 feet horizontally beyond the perimeter of the foundation. The barrier can consist of concrete or asphalt paving, concrete flatwork or at least 24" of compacted import clay (PI between 20 and 40). Any landscaping located within 10 feet of the structure foundation should be placed in watertight above -grade planter boxes with drainage discharge on top of adjacent flatwork/paving. We recommend that the perimeter grade beam be constructed to a depth of at least 24 inches to aid in reducing the potential for moisture fluctuation beneath the building pad. The final grade beam depth and recommended construction should be determined by the structural engineer. The slab vapor retarder plastic should be extended from beneath the slab down to the inside face (building pad side) of the grade beam trench. In unpaved areas at the perimeter of the planned shade structure, a 2-foot-thick clay cap (see Note 8, Table 3) should be constructed. This clay cap should aid in reducing the chances for surface water from infiltrating into the more previous recompacted soils or select fill and pond on top of the underlying, less permeable subgrade. A PVR exceeding 1-inch can occur if water is allowed to readily pond on top of the clayey subgrade beneath the select fill body. Clean imported soils (PI of 20 to 40, if present) can be used to construct the clay cap. The clay cap should be moisture conditioned to between 0 and +4 percentage points of optimum moisture content and then compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density determined by ASTM D 698. If flatwork or pavement surrounds the perimeter of the building, the referenced clay cap is not warranted. If planters are planned, they should consist of sealed boxes, not allowing irrigation water to seep into the building select fill overbuild. Prior to the placement of select fill, the exposed subgrade area should be proof rolled to identify any soft areas, if present. Proof rolling should be accomplished using a loaded dump truck ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 7 Arias Job No. 2023-441 weighing at least 15 tons. Weak or soft areas evidenced during proof rolling should be over - excavated and replaced as outlined in Table 4 of this report. The upper 8 inches of exposed subgrade should then be scarified, moisture conditioned, compacted, and tested. After moisture conditioning and compacting the subgrade, the building pad should be constructed using crushed limestone base material meeting the requirements of 2004 TXDOT Item 247, Type A, Grade 1 or 2 to provide for a more "all-weather" working surface. Stiffened Beam and Slab -on -Grade Foundation A grid type beam and slab -on -grade foundation is generally used to support relatively light structures upon expansive soils where soil conditions are relatively uniform, and where uplift and settlement can be tolerated. The intent of a stiffened beam and slab -on -grade foundation is to allow the structure and foundation to move up and down with soil movements while providing sufficient stiffness to limit differential movements within the superstructure to an acceptable magnitude. A stiffened grid type beam and slab -on -grade foundation may be utilized for the proposed shade structure provided it is designed specifically for these soil conditions. Also, the building pad and/or site must be improved as outlined in the previous report section. There are various design methods for use by the structural engineer to select the grade beams depths and beam spacings for this project. The foundations may be designed using Building Research Board No. 33 (BRAB Report) as a guideline. Alternatively, the foundations may be designed based on the Design of Slab -On -Ground Foundations published by the Wire Reinforcement Institute, Inc. (August 1981). Provided in the following table is the design criteria for both methods. Table 4: BRAB and WRI Foundation Design Criteria — Design PVR of about 1 Inch Design Method BRAB WRI Design PVR About 1 inch Climatic Rating (Cw) — Fort Worth, Texas 18 Effective Plasticity Index 21 Support Index (C) 0.93 -- Soil/Climatic Rating Factor (1-C) -- 0.07 Unconfined Compressive Strength (tsf) 1.25 -- Note: The above design values assume that the shade structure pad has been improved as outlined in this report for an approximate design PVR of 1 inch. ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 8 Arias Job No. 2023-441 A stiffened beam and slab type foundation may also be designed for the shade structure using the 3rd Edition of the Design of Post -Tensioned Slabs -on -Ground published by the Post - Tensioning Institute. These values were estimated from the "Volflo" computer program in consideration of the soil conditions in the area of the planned building. Provided in the following tables are design criteria for this method.

Table 6: Allowable Bearing Pressure and Beam Penetration Allowable Bearing Pressure 2,500 psf 11 Bearing Stratum at Bottom of Grade Beams I Compacted Select Fill 11 Min. Penetration of Beams Below Final Grade for 24 inches Bearing Pressure Requirements Note: Actual beam depth should be determined by structural engineer. The minimum penetration below final grade is necessary to reduce scour potential and the potential for water penetration under the foundations. Arias is providing design values for BRAB and WRI methods for the Structural Engineer's consideration and possible use. Arias recommends that the final design methodology for the planned foundations be selected by the project Structural Engineer based on his knowledge and experience with similar foundation conditions. Grade beams based at the recommended depth, and found within the compacted select fill, should be designed for the allowable soil bearing capacity provided above. Grade beams may be thickened and widened at concentrated loads to serve as spread footings. The beams and widened columns should be a minimum of 10 and 12 inches wide, respectively, for shear ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 9 Arias Job No. 2023-441 resistance. The grade beams should extend at least 24 inches below final grade within the compacted select fill. We recommend that at least a 10-mil vapor retarder be used under the slab. The vapor retarder should conform to ASTM E1745, Class C or better and shall have a maximum water vapor permeance of 0.044 perms when tested in accordance with ASTM E96. A 10 mil Stego Wrap by Stego Industries LLC or other similar products meeting these requirements would be acceptable. Drilled Pier Foundation Recommendations As an alternate, deep foundation can be utilized for the proposed shade structure. Recommendations for evaluation of axial capacity and lateral capacity for the piers are presented in the following tables. Pier capacities for axial loading were evaluated based on design methodologies included in FHWA-IF-99-025 - Drilled Shafts: Construction Procedures and Design Methods. Due to the presence of highly expansive clays within the moisture active zone, the shafts will experience uplift due to swelling. However, due to the pavement covered subgrade the swelling effect will be reduced. Table 7: Drilled Pier Desiqn Parameters Axial Capacity Recommended Design Parameters Allowable Allowable End Uplift Force, Depth Material Skin Friction, Bearing, psf kips psf 0 to 5 Existing Fill NEGLECT 5 to 13 FAT CLAY with Sand (CH), FAT NEGLECT FOR MOISTURE ACTIVE 35*D CLAY with Gravel (CH) ZONE 13 to 25 Weathered LIMESTONE 1,400 13,000 Constraints to be Imposed During Pier Design Straight shaft drilled Piers at least 15 feet below the existing surface. Minimum embedment depth Deeper depths may be required to resist compressive, uplift, pullout, or lateral loads as determined by the Project Structural Engineer. If piers are designed to be deeper than 20-feet, we should be contacted to provide additional borings and recommendations. Minimum Void Space under Pier Caps 8 inches Notes: 1. For straight shaft piers, the contribution of the soils for the top 10 feet of soil embedment and for a length equal to at least 1 pier diameter from the bottom of the shaft or the top 15 feet, whichever is ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 10 Arias Job No. 2023-441 greater, should be neglected in determination of friction capacity for compression loading. The recommended design parameters include a factor of safety of 3 for skin friction and a factor of safety of 2 or greater for skin friction. 2. Total settlement of piers is expected to be less than 1 inch. Estimated settlements are based on performance of properly installed piers. A detailed settlement estimate is outside of the scope of this service. 3. Sufficient reinforcing steel should be placed within the pier to account for tension and lateral loading as applicable. Pier vertical reinforcing steel should be designed to resist the uplift forces from swelling soils and uplift and lateral forces from wind loading. The final reinforcing requirements should be determined by the project structural engineer. Tensile rebar steel should be designed in accordance with ACI Code Requirements. 4. A minimum shaft diameter of 18 inches is recommended. Larger shaft diameters may be required, as determined by the structural engineer. 5. The uplift force resulting from expansion of soils in the active zone may be computed using the above formula in Table 4 above where D is the shaft diameter in feet. For drilled straight -sided piers, the contribution from soils to resist uplift is the allowable skin friction resistance of the soils below the 15- ft. For uplift loading only, the allowable skin resistance for the bottom 1 pier diameter can be used. Sustained dead loads will also aid in resisting uplift forces. 6. The Contractor should verify groundwater conditions before production drilled shaft installation begins. Temporary casing and/or drilling slurry may be needed due to potential perched groundwater conditions, dependent on seasonal conditions. Payment provisions for temporary casing and for placement of concrete by the tremie method are recommended for inclusion in the Contract Documents. 7. Comments pertaining to high -torque drilling equipment, groundwater, temporary casing, and possible use of drilling slurry are based on generalized conditions encountered at the explored locations. Conditions at individual shaft locations may differ from those presented and may require that these techniques be implemented to successfully install drilled shafts. Lateral pile analyses including capacity, maximum shear, and maximum bending moment will be evaluated by the project structural engineer using LPILE or similar software. In the following table, Arias presents geotechnical input parameters for the encountered soils at the project site. Please note that the depths to the top and bottom of each layer were interpreted using data at the explored boring locations and layer boundaries as shown on the boring logs.

Thus, we anticipate that high -torque drilling equipment will be required for pier installation at this site. The Contractor should be familiar with and prepared for such conditions. Drilled Piers Construction Considerations The contractor should verify groundwater conditions before production pier installation begins. Comments pertaining to high -torque drilling equipment, groundwater, slurry, and temporary casing are based on generalized conditions encountered at the explored locations. Conditions at individual pier locations may differ from those presented and may require that these issues be implemented to successfully install piers. Construction considerations for drilled pier foundations are outlined in the following table. Table 9: Drilled Pier Installation Considerations Recommended installation procedure FHWA-NHI-10-016, May 2010 High -torque drilling equipment anticipated Possible, hard clays encountered Casing or Groundwater anticipated Possible if subsurface soil and groundwater conditions dictate, lean clays encountered which may cause caving issues Concrete placement Same day as drilling. Maximum water accumulation in excavation 2 inches ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 12 Arias Job No. 2023-441 Temporary Steel casing with a Tremie, or pump to displace water. If tremie is used, care should be taken to place the tremie in the center of the shaft and not Concrete installation method needed if water allow the concrete to ricochet of shaft walls and/or accumulates reinforcing steel. The concrete "head" should be kept above the ground surface during the pulling of the temporary steel casing in order to maintain the hole integrity and to displace possible ground water. Geotechnical engineer's representative should be present during drilling of all piers, should observe drilling and verify the installed depth, should verify Quality assurance monitoring material type at the base of excavation, cleanliness of base, depth of existing groundwater, if present, and should observe placement of reinforcing and placement of concrete. Notes: 1. The contractor should verify groundwater conditions before production pier installation begins. Temporary casing may be needed due to groundwater conditions, dependent on seasonal conditions. Payment provisions for temporary casing on foot are recommended for inclusion in the Contract Documents. 2. Comments pertaining to high -torque drilling equipment, groundwater, temporary casing, and slurry drilling methods are based on generalized conditions encountered at the explored locations. Importantly, these are considered means and methods and are the sole responsibility of the contractor. Conditions at individual pier locations may differ from those presented and may require that these techniques be implemented to successfully install piers. 3. The following installation techniques will aid in successful construction of the shafts: a. The clear spacing between the rebar or behind the rebar cage should be at least 3 times the maximum size of coarse aggregate. b. Centralizers on the rebar cage should be installed to keep the cage properly positioned. c. Cross -bracing of a reinforcing cage may be used when fabricating, transporting, and/or lifting. However, experience has shown that cross -bracing can contribute to the development of voids in a concrete shaft. Therefore, we recommend the removal of the cross -bracing prior to lowering the cage in the open shaft. d. The use of a tremie should be employed so that concrete is directed in a controlled manner down the center of the shaft to the shaft bottom. The concrete should not be allowed to ricochet off the pier reinforcina steel nor off the pier side walls nor should the concrete "head" be allowed to drop below the ground surface during the pulling of the casing. e. The pier concrete should be designed to achieve the desired design strength when placed at a 7-inch slump, plus or minus 1-inch tolerance. Adding water to a mix designed for a lower slump does not meet these recommendations. IBC Site Classification and Seismic Design Coefficients Section 1613 of the International Building Code (2021) requires that every structure be designed and constructed to resist the effects of earthquake motions, with the seismic design category to be determined in accordance with Section 1613 or ASCE 7. Site classification according to the International Building Code (2021) is based on the soil profile encountered to the 100-foot depth. The stratigraphy at the site location was explored to a maximum 25-foot depth. Material having similar consistency were extrapolated to be present between the 25 and 100-foot depths. On the basis of the site class definitions included in the 2021 Code and the encountered generalized stratigraphy, we characterize the site as Site Class C. ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 13 Arias Job No. 2023-441 Seismic design coefficients were determined using the on-line software. Analyses were performed considering the 2021 International Building Code. Input included GPS coordinates and Site Class C. Seismic design parameters for the site are summarized in the following table. Table 10: Seismic Design Parameters Site Class Fa F„ SS S1 C 1.30 1.50 0.09g 0.05g Where: Fa = Site coefficient Fv = Site coefficient Ss = Mapped spectral response acceleration for short periods S, = Mapped spectral response acceleration for a 1-second period Pavement Recommendations One (1) boring was performed to explore the subsurface condition for the proposed improvement. Based on the results of the field exploration and the laboratory testing, the subgrade within the alignment of the proposed pathway/pavement may consist of clay (CH) with varying amounts of sand and gravel. The design of the trail sections should adequately handle the anticipated pedestrian and light -duty traffic use. The pavement recommendations were prepared in accordance with the 1993 AASHTO Guide for the Design of Pavement Structures for asphalt and the ACI Design Guide for Design and Construction of Concrete Parking Lots for concrete. The following design parameters and assumptions were used in our analysis: Table 11: Pavement Design Assumptions (1) Concrete -Paved Hike and Bike Trail Pavement Type (preferred) (2) Asphalt -Paved Hike and Bike Trail (optional) Traffic Load for Light -Duty Pavement 15,000 equivalent single axle loads (ESALs) Concrete Compressive Strength 3,000 psi Raw Subgrade California Bearing Ratio 3 for compacted soil subgrade (CBR) Raw Subgrade Modulus of Subgrade 100 for compacted soil subgrade Reaction, k in pci Based on our experience with similar projects constructed on similar soils and our design assumptions, we recommend the following minimum thickness values be used to construct the planned trails. ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 14 Arias Job No. 2023-441 Table 12: Recommended Pavement Sections for Trails Flexible Rigid Layer Material Asphaltic Concrete Concrete Surface HMAC/PCC 2" 5" Base Flexible Base 6" -- Subgrade Moisture 6" 6" Conditioned Rigid Concrete Pavement Joints Placement of expansion joints in concrete paving on potentially expansive subgrade or on granular subgrade subject to piping often results in horizontal and vertical movement at the joint. Many times, concrete spalls adjacent to the joint and eventually a failed concrete area results. This problem is primarily related to water infiltration through the joint. One method to mitigate the problem of water infiltration through the joints is to eliminate all expansion joints that are not absolutely necessary. It is our opinion that expansion or isolation joints are needed only adjacent to where the pavement abuts intersecting drive lanes and other structures. Elimination of all expansion joints within the main body of the pavement area would significantly reduce access of moisture into the subgrade. Regardless of the type of expansion joint sealant used, eventually openings in the sealant occur resulting in water infiltration into the subgrade. The use of sawed and sealed joints should be designed in accordance with current Portland Cement Association (PCA) or American Concrete Institute (ACI) guidelines. Research has proven that joint design and layout can have a significant effect on the overall performance of concrete pavement. Recommendations presented herein are based on the use of reinforced concrete pavement. Local experience has shown that the use of distributed steel placed at a distance of 1/3 slab thickness from the top is of benefit in crack control for concrete pavements. Improved crack control also reduces the potential for water infiltration. The use of a perimeter turned down beam should also be strongly considered for the rigid concrete section. Pavement Subgrade and Section Materials Recommendations for subgrade preparation in the planned pavement areas are summarized in Table 13. ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 15 Arias Job No. 2023-441 Table 13: Pavement Subqrade and Section Materials Stripping Depth 6 inches or as needed to remove roots and organics Reuse Excavated Soils Provided they are free of roots and debris and meet the general fill material requirements.

If pavement placement is delayed, protection of the base surface with an emulsion -based sealer should be considered. Alternately, the paving section could be slightly overbuilt so blading performed to remove distressed sections does not reduce the base thickness. We understand that a planned parking lot at the Mission Road trailhead will be provided as part of a separate project. Therefore, it was not part of our scope of services to provide pavement recommendations for said planned parking lot. CONSTRUCTION CRITERIA Site Preparation Strip away any surficial material, topsoil, grass, organics, soft or wet materials, and deleterious debris as needed and dispose outside of the trail pavement areas. Undercut to the required depth ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 16 Arias Job No. 2023-441 and extent as noted in the main report. Additional excavation may also be necessary due to encountering deleterious materials such as buried debris and/or rubble, or undesirable soft and wet subgrade conditions and/or existing fill materials. The site representative of the geotechnical engineer should observe undercutting operations. Unless passing density reports are provided for a specific area, existing fill soils found during the excavation should be considered as uncertified and removed to suitable natural soils. After the surface materials are removed, the exposed subgrade surface should be proof rolled with a heavily loaded dump truck weighing at least 20 tons. Any areas which excessively yield or pump under the wheel loading should be undercut to the depth specified by the geotechnical engineer's representative and replaced with compacted select fill to existing grade as specified. The voids in undercut areas can be backfilled and compacted with on -site general fill materials. Table 14: Site Work (Non-Structural/General Fill) Requirements Stripping Depth 6-inch minimum or as needed to remove any existing asphalt, concrete, and vegetation On -site material free of roots, debris and other Non-Structural/General Fill Type deleterious material with a maximum particle size of 4 inches Maximum Non-Structural/General Fill Loose Lift Thickness 9 inches The backfill should be placed and compacted in accordance with Table 15.

Drainage Good positive drainage during and after construction is very important to reduce expansive soil volume changes that can detrimentally affect the performance of the planned development. Proper attention to surface and subsurface drainage details during the design and construction phase of development can aid in preventing many potential soil shrink -swell related problems during and following the completion of the project. GENERAL COMMENTS This report was prepared as an instrument of service for this project exclusively for the use of Dunaway and the project design team. If the development plans change relative to layout, anticipated traffic loads, or if different subsurface conditions are encountered during construction, we should be informed and retained to ascertain the impact of these changes on our recommendations. We cannot be responsible for the potential impact of these changes if we are not informed. Design Review Arias should be given the opportunity to review the design and construction documents. The purpose of this review is to check to see if our recommendations are properly interpreted into the project plans and specifications. Please note that design review was not included in the authorized scope and additional fees may apply. Subsurface Variations Soil and groundwater conditions may vary away from the sample boring locations. Transition boundaries or contacts, noted on the boring logs to separate soil types, are approximate. Actual contacts may be gradual and vary at different locations. The contractor should verify that similar conditions exist throughout the proposed area of excavation. If different subsurface conditions or highly variable subsurface conditions are encountered during construction, we should be contacted to evaluate the significance of the changed conditions relative to our recommendations. Quality Assurance Testing The long-term success of the project will be affected by the quality of materials used for construction and the adherence of the construction to the project plans and specifications. As Geotechnical Engineer of Record (GER), we should be engaged by the Owner to provide Quality Assurance (QA) testing. Our services will be to evaluate the degree to which constructors are achieving the specified conditions they're contractually obligated to achieve and observe that the encountered materials during earthwork for foundation and pavement installation are consistent with those encountered during this study. In the event that Arias is not retained to provide QA testing, we should be immediately contacted if differing subsurface conditions are encountered ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 18 Arias Job No. 2023-441 during construction. Differing materials may require modification to the recommendations that we provided herein. A message to the Owner with regard to the project QA is provided in the GBA publication included in Appendix E. Arias has an established in-house laboratory that meets the standards of the American Standard Testing Materials (ASTM) specifications of ASTM E-329 defining requirements for Inspection and Testing Agencies for soil, concrete, steel and bituminous materials as used in construction.

APPENDIX C: LABORATORY AND FIELD TEST PROCEDURES ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. C-1 Arias Job No. 2023-441 FIELD AND LABORATORY EXPLORATION The field exploration program included drilling at selected locations within the site and intermittently sampling the encountered materials. The boreholes were drilled using single flight augers (ASTM D 1452). Samples of encountered materials were obtained using a split -barrel sampler while performing the Standard Penetration Test (ASTM D 1586) and with a thin -walled Shelby Tube Sampler (ASTM D 1587). The sample depth interval and type of sampler used is included on the soil boring log. Arias' field representative visually logged each recovered sample and placed a portion of the recovered sampled into a plastic bag for transport to our laboratory. SPT N values and blow counts for those intervals where the sampler could not be advanced for the required 18-inch penetration are shown on the soil boring log. If the test was terminated during the 6-inch seating interval or after 10 hammer blows were applied used and no advancement of the sampler was noted, the log denotes this condition as blow count during seating penetration. Penetrometer readings recorded for thin -walled tube samples that remained intact also are shown on the soil boring logs. Arias performed soil mechanics laboratory tests on selected samples to aid in soil classification and to determine engineering properties. Tests commonly used in geotechnical exploration, the method used to perform the test, and the designation on the boring log where data are reported are summarized as follows: Test Name Test Method Log Designation Water (moisture) content of soil and rock by mass ASTM D 2216 WC Liquid limit, plastic limit, and plasticity index of soils ASTM D 4318 PL, LL, PI Amount of material in soils finer than the No. 200 sieve ASTM D 1140 -200 The laboratory results are reported on the soil boring logs.

APPENDIX E: GBA INFORMATION ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. E-1 Arias Job No. 2023-441 r- Geotechnical-Engineering Report --) The Geoprofessional Business Association (GBA) has prepared this advisory to help you — assumedly a client representative — interpret and apply this geotechnical-engineering report as effectively as possible. In that way, clients can benefit from a lowered exposure to the subsurface problems that, for decades, have been a principal cause of construction delays, cost overruns, claims, and disputes. If you have questions or want more information about any of the issues discussed below, contact your GBA-member geotechnical engineer. Active involvement in the Geoprofessional Business Association exposes geotechnical engineers to a wide array of risk -confrontation techniques that can be of genuine benefit for everyone involved with a construction project. Geotechnical-Engineering Services Are Performed for Specific Purposes, Persons, and Projects Geotechnical engineers structure their services to meet the specific needs of their clients. A geotechnical-engineering study conducted for a given civil engineer will not likely meet the needs of a civil - works constructor or even a different civil engineer. Because each geotechnical-engineering study is unique, each geotechnical- engineering report is unique, prepared solely for the client. Those who rely on a geotechnical-engineering report prepared for a different client can be seriously misled. No one except authorized client representatives should rely on this geotechnical-engineering report without first conferring with the geotechnical engineer who prepared it. And no one - not even you - should apply this report for any purpose or project except the one originally contemplated. Read this Report in Full Costly problems have occurred because those relying on a geotechnical- engineering report did not read it in its entirety. Do not rely on an executive summary. Do not read selected elements only. Read this report in full. You Need to Inform Your Geotechnical Engineer about Change Your geotechnical engineer considered unique, project -specific factors when designing the study behind this report and developing the confirmation -dependent recommendations the report conveys. A few typical factors include: • the client's goals, objectives, budget, schedule, and risk -management preferences; • the general nature of the structure involved, its size, configuration, and performance criteria; • the structure's location and orientation on the site; and • other planned or existing site improvements, such as retaining walls, access roads, parking lots, and underground utilities. Typical changes that could erode the reliability of this report include those that affect: • the site's size or shape; • the function of the proposed structure, as when it's changed from a parking garage to an office building, or from a light -industrial plant to a refrigerated warehouse; • the elevation, configuration, location, orientation, or weight of the proposed structure; • the composition of the design team; or • project ownership. As a general rule, always inform your geotechnical engineer of project changes - even minor ones - and request an assessment of their impact. The geotechnical engineer who prepared this report cannot accept responsibility or liability for problems that arise because the geotechnical engineer was not informed about developments the engineer otherwise would have considered. This Report May Not Be Reliable Do not rely on this report if your geotechnical engineer prepared it: • for a different client; • for a different project; • for a different site (that may or may not include all or a portion of the original site); or • before important events occurred at the site or adjacent to it; e.g., man-made events like construction or environmental remediation, or natural events like floods, droughts, earthquakes, or groundwater fluctuations. Note, too, that it could be unwise to rely on a geotechnical-engineering report whose reliability may have been affected by the passage of time, because of factors like changed subsurface conditions; new or modified codes, standards, or regulations; or new techniques or tools. If your geotechnical engineer has not indicated an `apply -by" date on the report, ask what it should be, and, in general, if you are the least bit uncertain about the continued reliability of this report, contact your geotechnical engineer before applying it. A minor amount of additional testing or analysis - if any is required at all - could prevent major problems. Most of the "Findings" Related in This Report Are Professional Opinions Before construction begins, geotechnical engineers explore a site's subsurface through various sampling and testing procedures. Geotechnical engineers can observe actual subsurface conditions only at those specific locations where sampling and testing were performed. The data derived from that sampling and testing were reviewed by your geotechnical engineer, who then applied professional judgment to form opinions about subsurface conditions throughout the site. Actual sitewide-subsurface conditions may differ - maybe significantly - from those indicated in this report. Confront that risk by retaining your geotechnical engineer to serve on the design team from project start to project finish, so the individual can provide informed guidance quickly, whenever needed. This Report's Recommendations Are Confirmation -Dependent The recommendations included in this report - including any options or alternatives - are confirmation -dependent. In other words, they are not final, because the geotechnical engineer who developed them relied heavily on judgment and opinion to do so. Your geotechnical engineer can finalize the recommendations only after observing actual subsurface conditions revealed during construction. If through observation your geotechnical engineer confirms that the conditions assumed to exist actually do exist, the recommendations can be relied upon, assuming no other changes have occurred. The geotechnical engineer who prepared this report cannot assume responsibility or liability for confirmation - dependent recommendations if you fail to retain that engineer to perform construction observation. This Report Could Be Misinterpreted Other design professionals' misinterpretation of geotechnical- engineering reports has resulted in costly problems. Confront that risk by having your geotechnical engineer serve as a full-time member of the design team, to: • confer with other design -team members, help develop specifications, • review pertinent elements of other design professionals' plans and specifications, and be on hand quickly whenever geotechnical-engineering guidance is needed. You should also confront the risk of constructors misinterpreting this report. Do so by retaining your geotechnical engineer to participate in prebid and preconstruction conferences and to perform construction observation. Give Constructors a Complete Report and Guidance Some owners and design professionals mistakenly believe they can shift unanticipated -subsurface -conditions liability to constructors by limiting the information they provide for bid preparation. To help prevent the costly, contentious problems this practice has caused, include the complete geotechnical-engineering report, along with any attachments or appendices, with your contract documents, but be certain to note conspicuously that you've included the material for informational purposes only. To avoid misunderstanding, you may also want to note that "informational purposes" means constructors have no right to rely on the interpretations, opinions, conclusions, or recommendations in the report, but they may rely on the factual data relative to the specific times, locations, and depths/elevations referenced. Be certain that constructors know they may learn about specific project requirements, including options selected from the report, only from the design drawings and specifications. Remind constructors that they may perform their own studies if they want to, and be sure to allow enough time to permit them to do so. Only then might you be in a position to give constructors the information available to you, while requiring them to at least share some of the financial responsibilities stemming from unanticipated conditions. Conducting prebid and preconstruction conferences can also be valuable in this respect. Read Responsibility Provisions Closely Some client representatives, design professionals, and constructors do not realize that geotechnical engineering is far less exact than other engineering disciplines. That lack of understanding has nurtured unrealistic expectations that have resulted in disappointments, delays, cost overruns, claims, and disputes. To confront that risk, geotechnical engineers commonly include explanatory provisions in their reports. Sometimes labeled "limitations," many of these provisions indicate where geotechnical engineers' responsibilities begin and end, to help others recognize their own responsibilities and risks. Read these provisions closely. Ask questions. Your geotechnical engineer should respond fully and frankly. Geoenvi ron mental Concerns Are Not Covered The personnel, equipment, and techniques used to perform an environmental study - e.g., a "phase -one" or "phase -two" environmental site assessment - differ significantly from those used to perform a geotechnical-engineering study. For that reason, a geotechnical- engineering report does not usually relate any environmental findings, conclusions, or recommendations; e.g., about the likelihood of encountering underground storage tanks or regulated contaminants. Unanticipated subsurface environmental problems have led to project failures. If you have not yet obtained your own environmental information, ask your geotechnical consultant for risk -management guidance. As a general rule, do not rely on an environmental report prepared for a different client, site, or project, or that is more than six months old. Obtain Professional Assistance to Deal with Moisture Infiltration and Mold While your geotechnical engineer may have addressed groundwater, water infiltration, or similar issues in this report, none of the engineer's services were designed, conducted, or intended to prevent uncontrolled migration of moisture - including water vapor - from the soil through building slabs and walls and into the building interior, where it can cause mold growth and material -performance deficiencies. Accordingly, proper implementation of the geotechnical engineer's recommendations will not of itself be sufficient to prevent moisture infiltration. Confront the risk of moisture infiltration by including building -envelope or mold specialists on the design team. Geotechnical engineers are not building - envelope or mold specialists.

APPENDIX F: PROJECT QUALITY ASSURANCE ARIAS & ASSOCIATES, INC. F-1 Arias Job No. 2023-441 A Message to Owners from ASFE/GBA E BUSINESS ASSOC ASFSIONAL IATION 8811 Colesville Road Suite G106 Silver Spring, Maryland 20910 Voice: 301.565.2733 Fax: 301.589.2017 E-mail: info@asfe.org Internet: www.asfe.org Construction -materials engineering and testing (CoMET) consultants perform quality -assurance (QA) services to evaluate how well constructors are achieving the specified conditions they're contractually obligated to achieve. Done right, QA can save you time and money while helping you manage project risks by detecting molehills before they grow into mountains you and the design team are forced to climb. Done right, QA can save you time and money; prevent claims and disputes; and reduce risks. Many owners don't do QA right because they follow bad advice. It's ironic that, as important as CoMET consultants can be, some owners and design professionals treat them as though they were commodities. Often referred to incorrectly as "testing labs," CoMET consultants create the last line of defense against costly construction errors and the delays, change orders, claims, disputes, and litigation that can result. Why would owners entrust such an important responsibility to the firm offering to fulfill it for the lowest fee as opposed to the one whose qualifications enable it to offer the best service and the most value? The answer: Too many owners follow bad advice; e.g., "CoMET consultants are all the same. They all follow the same standards. They all have accredited laboratories and certified personnel. Go with the low bidder." That's bad advice because there's no such thing as a standard QA scope of service, meaning that — to bid — each interested firm must develop its own scope ... and it has to be a cheap scope in order to offer the low fee the owner apparently prefers. A cheap scope cannot help but jeopardize service quality, aggravating risk for you and the entire project team. Of course, some firms will offer what seems to be a better scope at a "low -ball," less - than -cost bid in order to win the commission and then earn a profit through multiple change orders. You have too much at stake to follow bad advice. Consider these facts. Fact: Most COMET farms are not accredited, including some that say they are and some that don't even follow the correct standards, even when they say they do. And the quality of those that are accredited varies significantly; some practice at a high level; others just barely scrape by. As such, while accreditation is extremely important, it is far from being a "be-all and end-all." It signifies only that a firm's facilities or operations met the minimum criteria of an accrediting body whose concerns in some cases may have little to do with your project. And the condition of what an accrediting body typically evaluates — management systems, technical staff, facilities, and equipment — can change substantially between on -site accreditation assessments. Most CoMET firms are not accredited and it's dangerous to assume CoMET personnel are certified. Fact: It's dangerous to assume CoMET personnel are certified. Many have no credentials; some are certified by organizations of questionable merit, while others have a valid certification, but not for the services they're assigned. All too many have little training or none at all. Some CoMET firms — the "low-cost providers" — want you to believe that price is the only difference between QA providers. It's not: Firms that sell low price typically lack: • facilities appropriate for many of the projects they accept, • equipment that is well maintained and properly calibrated, • field and laboratory personnel who are well trained and appreciate the importance of their responsibilities, • management with the education, experience, and judgment to provide technical oversight, and • the professional -liability insurance you should require to enjoy peace of mind. Quality -oriented firms invest in the facilities, equipment, personnel, and insurance needed to achieve quality in quality assurance. Quality -oriented firms invest in the facilities, equipment, personnel, and insurance needed to achieve quality in quality assurance. To derive maximum value from your QA investment, have the CoMET firm's project manager serve actively on the project team from beginning to end, a level of service that's relatively inexpensive and can pay huge dividends. During the project's planning and design stages, experienced CoMET professionals can help the design team develop consistent, cost-effective technical specifications and establish appropriate observation, testing, and instrumentation protocols. They can analyze plans and specs much as constructors do, looking for the little errors, omissions, conflicts, and ambiguities that often lead to the misunderstandings and confusion that become the basis for big extras and big claims. They can also provide guidance about operations and materials that need closer review than others, because of their criticality or potential for error or abuse, and even suggest reduced levels of review or testing for areas of a less critical nature, based on local experience. You can also benefit from a CoMET professional's frank assessments of the various constructors that have expressed interest in the project. To derive maximum value, have the COMET project manager serve actively on the project team from beginning to end. CoMET consultants' construction -phase QA services focus on two distinct issues: • those that relate to geotechnical engineering and • those that relate to the other elements of construction. Geotechnical-engineering issues are critically important because they are essential to the "observational method" geotechnical engineers use to help their clients save time and money while maintaining a "healthy respect" for the unknown in the underground. In essence, the observational method is an overall approach that begins during the earliest element of the design phase and carries through 2 to the construction phase. Geotechnical engineers initiate this approach by applying their knowledge of local geological conditions to develop an economical subsurface -sampling plan. Proper execution of the plan should derive just enough samples from just enough areas to permit an experienced geotechnical engineer to develop an assumed -subsurface profile. Because so much depends on the reliability of each sample, quality -focused geotechnical engineers often insist that their own personnel perform or oversee the sampling process, from obtaining the samples to packaging, storing, and transporting them to a trusted laboratory, using their own equipment and facilities or relying on others' they know they can trust. Combining the assumed subsurface profile with knowledge of what is being constructed — e.g., its dimensions, weight, anticipated use, and performance objectives — geotechnical engineers develop provisional recommendations for the structure's foundations and for the specifications of various "geo" elements, like excavations, site grading, foundation -bearing grades, and roadway and parking -lot preparation and surfacing. When geotechnical engineers know that their personnel will be on site observing subsurface conditions as they are exposed, they usually will recommend the most cost-effective design their assumptions make practical, knowing that — if their assumed -subsurface profile is "off' in any significant way — the variances will be caught (that's what they teach their field personnel to do), permitting them to "tweak" their recommendations in the field. It is essential to realize that geotechnical engineers cannot finalize their recommendations until they or their field representatives are on site to observe what's excavated to verify that the subsurface conditions the engineers predicted are those that actually exist. Geotechnical engineers cannot finalize their recommendations until they are on site to verify that the subsurface conditions they predicted are those that actually exist. Entrusting geotechnical field observation to someone other than the geotechnical engineer of record creates a significant risk. Insofar as other elements of construction are concerned, many geotechnical-engineering firms have obliged their clients by expanding their field -services mix, so they're able to perform overall construction QA, encompassing — in addition to geotechnical issues — reinforced concrete, structural steel, structural masonry, fireproofing, and so on, Unfortunately, that's caused some confusion. Believing that all CoMET consultants are alike, some owners take bids for the overall COMET package, including the geotechnical field observation, thus curtailing services of the geotechnical engineer of record (GER). Entrusting geotechnical field observation to someone other than the GER creates a significant risk. GERs have developed a variety of protocols to optimize the quality of their field -observation procedures. Quality -focused GERs meet with their field representatives before the representatives leave for a project site, to brief them on what to look for and where, when, and how to look. (No one can duplicate this briefing, because no one else knows as much about a project's geotechnical issues.) And once they arrive at a project site, the field representatives know to maintain timely, effective communication with the GER, because that's what the GER has trained them to do. By contrast, it's extremely rare for a different firm's field personnel to contact the GER, even when they're concerned or confused about what they observe, because they regard the GER's firm as "the competition." Convoluted project -communications protocols can make this communications breakdown even worse. A different firm is often willing to perform on -site geotechnical review for less money than the GER, frequently because it treats geotechnical field services as a "loss leader" in order to obtain the far larger, overall CoMET commission. Given the significant risk that supplanting the GER creates, accepting the offer is almost always penny-wise and pound- foolish. Still, because some owners accept bad advice, it's commonly done, helping to explain why "geo"issues are the number -one source of construction -industry claims and disputes. Divorcing the GER from geotechnical field operations is almost always penny-wise and pound-foolish, helping to explain why "geo" issues are the number -one source of construction -industry claims and disputes. To derive the biggest bang for the QA buck, identify three or even four quality -focused CoMET consultants. (If you don't know any, use the "Find a Geoprofessional" service available free at www.asfe.ore.) Ask about the firms' ongoing and recent projects and the clients and client representatives involved; insist upon receiving verification of all claimed accreditations, certifications, licenses, and insurance coverages. Insist upon receiving verification of all claimed accreditations, certifications, licenses, and insurance coverages. Once you identify the two or three most qualified firms, meet with their key personnel, preferably at their own facility, so you can inspect their laboratory, speak with management and technical staff, and form an opinion about the firm's capabilities and attitude. Insist that each firm's designated project manager and lead field representative participate in the meeting. You will benefit when those individuals are seasoned QA professionals familiar with construction's rough-and-tumble. Ask about others the firm will assign, too. There's no substitute for experienced, certified personnel who are familiar with the codes and standards involved and know how to: • read and interpret plans and specifications; • perform the necessary observation, inspection, and testing; • document their observations and findings; • interact with constructors' personnel; and • respond to the unexpected. Important. Many of the services CoMET QA field representatives perform — like observing operations and outcomes — require the good judgment afforded by extensive training and experience. Who will be on hand when the unexpected occurs: a 15-year "veteran" or a rookie? Many of the services COMET QA field representatives perform require good judgment. Also consider the tools COMET personnel use. Some firms are fanatical about proper maintenance and calibration; others, less so. Ask to see the firm's calibration records. If the firm doesn't have any, or if they are not current, be cautious: You cannot trust test results derived using equipment that may be out of calibration. Also ask if the firm's laboratory participates in 4 w proficiency testing, relying on a program like the one sponsored by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). And be sure to ask a firm's representatives about their reporting practices, part of the constructor's bid -price competition. (Note that the International Building Code (IBC) requires the owner to pay for Special Inspection (SI) services commonly performed by the COMET consultant as a service separate including report distribution and timeliness, how from QA, to help ensure the independence of they handle notifications of nonconformance, the SI process. Because failure to comply could and how they resolve complaints. result in denial of an occupancy or use permit, having a contractual agreement that conforms Once you identify your preferred firm, meet with to local code requirements is essential.) its representatives again. Provide the approved plans and specifications and other pertinent materials, like a construction schedule, and discuss what's needed to finalize a scope of service that reflects what will be happening on site and when it will occur. Recognize that most CoMET services are performed periodically or randomly, not continuously. Also recognize that a COMET consultant's field representatives cannot be in all places at all times, an important issue when multiple activities are ongoing simultaneously. Ask for guidance about appropriate staffing levels and discuss the trade- offs that may be available. Creating a detailed scope of CoMET QA service can help avoid surprises. Still, scope flexibility is needed to deal promptly with the unanticipated, like the additional services required to check the rework performed because of an error caught in QA. Scope flexibility is needed to deal promptly with the unanticipated. For financing purposes, some owners require the constructor to pay for CoMET services. Consider an alternative approach so you don't convert the constructor into the CoMET consultant's client. If it's essential for you to fund QA via the constructor, have the CoMET fee included as an allowance in the bid documents. This arrangement ensures that you remain the CoMET consultant's client, and it prevents the COMET fee from becoming If it's essential for you to fund QA via the constructor, have the COMET fee included as an allowance in the bid documents. Note, too, that the International Building (ode (IBC) requires you to pay for Special Inspection (SI) services. CoMET consultants can usually quote their fees as unit fees, unit fees with estimated total (invoiced on a unit -fee basis), or lump - sum (invoiced on a percent -completion basis referenced to a schedule of values). No matter which method is used, estimated quantities need to be realistic. Some CoMET firms lower their total -fee estimates by using quantities they know are too low and then request change orders long before construction and the need for QA are complete. Once you and the CoMET consultant settle on the scope of service and fee, enter into a written contract. Established CoMET firms have their own contracts; most owners sign them. Some owners prefer to use different contracts, but that can be a mistake when the contract was prepared for construction services. Professional services are different. Wholly avoidable problems occur when a contract includes provisions that don't apply to the services involved and fails to include those that do. Some owners create wholly avoidable problems by using a contract prepared for construction services. This final note: CoMET consultants perform QA for owners, not constructors. While constructors are commonly given review copies of QA reports as a courtesy, you need to make it clear that constructors do not have a legal right to rely on those reports; i.e., if constructors want to forgo their own observation and testing and rely on results derived from a scope created to meet only the needs of the owner, they must do so at their own risk. In all too many cases where owners have failed to make that clear, constructors have alleged that they did have a legal right to rely on QA reports and, as a ASFETHE GEOPROFESSIONAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION 8811 colesville Road Suite G106 Silver Spring, Maryland 20910 Voice: 301.565.2733 Fax: 301.589.2017 [-mail: info@asfe.org Internet: www.asfe.org result, the CoMET consultant — not they — are responsible for their failure to deliver what they contractually promised to provide.

Project Schedules CITY OF FORT WORTH Chuck Silcox, Lebow, Westhaven, Kingsridge West Parks STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS 104701, 104702, 104703, 104781 Revised October 6, 2023 0132 16 - 2 CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS SCHEDULE Page 2 of 10 1 Each project is represented by City's master project schedule that encompasses the 2 entire scope of activities envisioned by the City to properly deliver the work. When the 3 City contracts with a Contractor to perform construction of the Work, the Contractor 4 will develop and maintain a schedule for their scope of work in alignment with the 5 City's standard schedule requirements as defined herein. The data and information of 6 each such schedule will be leveraged and become integral in the master project 7 schedule as deemed appropriate by the City's Project Control Specialist and approved 8 by the City's Project Manager. 9 10 1. Master Project Schedule 11 The master project schedule is a holistic representation of the scheduled activities 12 and milestones for the total project and be Critical Path Method (CPM) based. The 13 City's Project Manager is accountable for oversight of the development and 14 maintaining a master project schedule for each project. When the City contracts for 15 the design and/or construction of the project, the master project schedule will 16 incorporate elements of the Design and Construction schedules as deemed 17 appropriate by the City's Project Control Specialist. The assigned City Project 18 Control Specialist creates and maintains the master project schedule in P6 (City's 19 scheduling software). 20 21 2. Construction Schedule 22 The Contractor is responsible for developing and maintaining a schedule for the 23 scope of the Contractor's contractual requirements. The Contractor will issue an 24 initial schedule for review and acceptance by the City's Project Control Specialist 25 and the City's Project Manager as a baseline schedule for Contractor's scope of 26 work. Contractor will issue current, accurate updates of their schedule (Progress 27 Schedule) to the City at the end of each month throughout the life of their work. 28 B. Schedule Tiers 29 The City has a portfolio of projects that vary widely in size, complexity and content 30 requiring different scheduling to effectively deliver each project. The City uses a 31 "tiered" approach to align the proper schedule with the criteria for each project. The 32 City's Project Manager determines the appropriate schedule tier for each project, and 33 includes that designation and the associated requirements in the Contractor's scope of 34 work. The following is a summary of the "tiers". 35 36 1. Tier 1: Small Size and Short Duration Project (design not required) 37 The City develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule for the project. No 38 schedule submittal is required from Contractor. City's Project Control Specialist 39 acquires any necessary schedule status data or information through discussions with 40 the respective party on an as -needed basis. 41 42 2. Tier 2: Small Size and Short to Medium Duration Project 43 The City develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule for the project. The 44 Contractor identifies "start" and "finish" milestone dates on key elements of their 45 work as agreed with the City's Project Manager at the kickoff of their work effort. 46 The Contractor issues to the City, updates to the "start" and "finish" dates for such 47 milestones at the end of each month throughout the life of their work on the project. 48 49 3. Tier 3: Medium and Large Size and/or Complex Projects Regardless of Duration CITY OF FORT WORTH Chuck Silcox, Lebow, Westhaven, Kingsridge West Parks STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS 104701, 104702, 104703, 104781 Revised October 6, 2023 013216-3 CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS SCHEDULE Page 3 of 10 1 The City develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule for the project. The 2 Contractor develops a Baseline Schedule and maintains the schedule of their 3 respective scope of work on the project at a level of detail (generally Level 3) and in 4 alignment with the WBS structure in Section 1.4.H as agreed by the Project 5 Manager. The Contractor issues to the City, updates of their respective schedule 6 (Progress Schedule) at the end of each month throughout the life of their work on the 7 project. 8 C. Schedule Types 9 Project delivery for the City utilizes two types of schedules as noted below. The City 10 develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule as a "baseline" schedule and issue 11 monthly updates to the City Project Manager (end of each month) as a "progress" 12 schedule. The Contractor prepares and submits each schedule type to fulfill their 13 contractual requirements. 14 15 1. Baseline Schedule 16 The Contractor develops and submits to the City, an initial schedule for their scope 17 of work in alignment with this specification. Once reviewed and accepted by the 18 City, it becomes the "Baseline" schedule and is the basis against which all progress 19 is measured. The baseline schedule will be updated when there is a change or 20 addition to the scope of work impacting the duration of the work, and only after 21 receipt of a duly authorized change order issued by the City. In the event progress is 22 significantly behind schedule, the City's Project Manager may authorize an update 23 to the baseline schedule to facilitate a more practical evaluation of progress. An 24 example of a Baseline Schedule is provided in Specification 0132 16.1 25 Construction Project Schedule Baseline Example. 26 27 2. Progress Schedule 28 The Contractor updates their schedule at the end of each month to represent the 29 progress achieved in the work which includes any impact from authorized changes 30 in the work. The updated schedule must accurately reflect the current status of the 31 work at that point in time and is referred to as the "Progress Schedule". The City's 32 Project Manager and Project Control Specialist reviews and accepts each progress 33 schedule. In the event a progress schedule is deemed not acceptable, the 34 unacceptable issues are identified by the City within 5 working days and the 35 Contractor must provide an acceptable progress schedule within 5 working days 36 after receipt of non -acceptance notification. An example of a Progress Schedule is 37 provided in Specification 0132 16.2 Construction Project Schedule Progress 38 Example. 39 D.

The Contractor will establish a schedule calendar as 5 part of the schedule development process and provide to the Project Control Specialist 6 as part of the basis for their schedule. Variations between the City's calendar and the 7 Contractor's calendar must be resolved prior to the City's acceptance of their Baseline 8 project schedule. 9 10 H. WBS & Milestone Standards for Schedule Development 11 The scope of work to be accomplished by the Contractor is represented in the schedule 12 in the form of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). The WBS is the basis for the 13 development of the schedule activities and shall be imbedded and depicted in the 14 schedule. 15 16 The following is a summary of the standards to be followed in preparing and 17 maintaining a schedule for project delivery. 18 19 1. Contractor is required to utilize the City's WBS structure and respective 20 project type template for "Construction" as shown in Section 1.4.1-1 below. 21 Additional activities may be added to Levels 1 - 4 to accommodate the needs 22 of the organization executing the work. Specifically, the Contractor will add 23 activities under WBS XXXXXX.80.83 "Construction Execution" that 24 delineates the activities associated with the various components of the work. 25 26 2. Contractor is required to adhere to the City's Standard Milestones as shown 27 in Section 1.4.I below. Contractor will include additional milestones 28 representing intermediate deliverables as required to accurately reflect their 29 scope of work. 30 31 I. Schedule Activities 32 Activities are the discrete elements of work that make up the schedule. They will be 33 organized under the umbrella of the WBS. Activity descriptions should adequately 34 describe the activity, and in some cases the extent of the activity. All activities are 35 logically tied with a predecessor and a successor. The only exception to this rule is for 36 "project start" and "project finish" milestones. 37 38 The activity duration is based on the physical amount of work to be performed for the 39 stated activity, with a maximum duration of 20 working days OR a continuous activity 40 in one location. If the work for any one activity exceeds 20 days, break that activity 41 down incrementally to achieve this duration constraint. Any exception to this requires 42 review and acceptance by the City's Project Control Specialist. 43 44 J. Change Orders 45 When a Change Order is issued by the City, the impact is incorporated into the 46 previously accepted baseline schedule as an update, to clearly show impact to the 47 project timeline.

Time extensions associated with approved contract modifications are limited to the actual amount of time the project activities are anticipated to be delayed, unless otherwise approved by the Program Manager. 2. The re-baselined schedule is submitted by the Contractor within ten workdays after the date of receipt of the approved Change Order. 3. The changes in logic or durations approved by the City are used to analyze the impact of the change and is included in the Change Order. The coding for a new activity(s) added to the schedule for the Change Order includes the Change Order number in the Activity ID. Use as many activities as needed to accurately show the work of the Change Order. Revisions to the baseline schedule are not effective until accepted by the City. K.

Survey Equipment, Control, and Datum Standards A. City Benchmarks All city benchmarks can be found here: http://fortworthtexas.gov/itsolutions/GIS/ Look for 'Zoning Maps'. Under 'Layers' , expand 'Basemap Layers', and check on 'Benchmarks'. B. Conventional or Robotic Total Station Equipment I. A minimum of a 10 arc -second instrument is required. II. A copy of the latest calibration report may be requested by the City at any time. It is recommended that an instrument be calibrated by certified technician at least 1 occurrence every 6 months. C. Network/V.R.S. and static GPS Equipment It is critical that the surveyor verify the correct horizontal and vertical datum prior commencing work. A site calibration may be required and shall consist of at least 4 control points spaced evenly apart and in varying quadrants. Additional field checks of the horizontal and vertical accuracies shall be completed and the City may ask for a copy of the calibration report at any time. Network GPS such as the Western Data Systems or SmartNet systems may be used for staking of property/R.O.W, forced -main water lines, and rough -grade only. No GPS staking for concrete, sanitary sewer, storm drain, final grade, or anything that needs vertical grading with a tolerance of 0.25' or less is allowed- D. Control Points Set All control points set shall be accompanied by a lath with the appropriate Northing, Easting, and Elevation (if applicable) of the point set. Control points can be set rebar, 'X' in concrete, or any other appropriate item with a stable base and of a semi -permanent nature. A rebar cap is optional, but preferred if the cap is marked 'control point' or similar wording. Datasheets are required for all control points set. Datasheet should include: A. Horizontal and Vertical Datum used, Example: N.A.D.83, North Central Zone 4202, NAVD 88 Elevations B. Grid or ground distance. — If ground, provide scale factor used and base point coordinate, Example: C.S.F.=0.999125, Base point=North: 0, East=O C. Geoid model used, Example: GEOID12A 0:\Specs-Stds Governance Process\Temporary Spec Files\Capital Delivery\Cap Delivery Div 01\01 71 23.16.01_Attachment A_Survey Staking Standards.docx Page 4 of 22 E. Preferred Grid Datum Although many plan sets can be in surface coordinates, the City's preferred grid datum is listed below. Careful consideration must be taken to verify what datum each project is in prior to beginning work. It is essential the surveyor be familiar with coordinate transformations and how a grid/surface/assumed coordinate system affect a project.

Stone Riprap Provide the following types of stone riprap when shown on the Drawings. a. Dry Riprap 1) Dry riprap is stone riprap with voids filled with only spalls or small stones. b. Grouted Riprap 1) Grouted riprap is Type Large, Medium, or Block stone riprap with voids grouted after all the stones are in place. c. Mortared Riprap 1) Mortared riprap is Medium stone riprap laid and mortared as each stone is placed. Use spalls and small stones lighter than 25 pounds to fill open joints and voids in stone riprap, and place to a tight fit. 3. Do not place mortar or grout when the air temperature is below 35 degrees Fahrenheit. 4. Protect work from rapid drying for at least 3 days after placement. Unless otherwise approved, place filter fabric with the length running up and down the slope. Ensure fabric has a minimum overlap of 2 feet. 5. Secure fabric with nails or pins. Use nails at least 2 inches long with washers or U- shaped pins with legs at least 9 inches long. Space nails or pins at a maximum of 10 feet in each direction and 5 feet along the seams. Alternative anchorage and spacing may be used when approved. 6. Large a. Construct riprap as shown in Figure 1 and as shown on the Drawings. Place stones in a single layer with close joints so that most of their weight is carried by the earth and not by the adjacent stones. b. Place the upright axis of the stones at an angle of approximately 90 degrees to the embankment slope. c. Place each course from the bottom of the embankment upward with the larger stones in the lower courses. d. Fill open joints between stones with spalls. e. Place stones to create a uniform finished top surface. Do not exceed a 6-inch variation between the tops of adjacent stones. Replace, embed deeper, or chip away stones that project more than the allowable amount above the finished surface. f. When the Drawings require Large stone riprap to be grouted, prevent earth, sand, or foreign material from filling the spaces between the stones. After the stones are in place, thoroughly wet the stones, fill the spaces between the stones with grout, and pack. Sweep the surface of the riprap with a stiff broom after grouting. 7. Medium a. Dry Placement 1) Construct riprap as shown in Figure 2. Set the flat surface on a prepared horizontal earth bed, and overlap the underlying course to secure a lapped surface. 2) Place the large stones first, roughly arranged in close contact. Fill the spaces between the large stones with suitably sized stones placed to leave the surface evenly stepped and conforming to the contour required. 3) Place stone to drain water down the face of the slope.

Grouting 1) Construct riprap as shown in Figure 3. Size, shape, and lay large flat - surfaced stones to produce an even surface with minimal voids. 2) Place stones with the flat surface facing upward parallel to the slope. Place the largest stones near the base of the slope. 3) Fill spaces between the larger stones with stones of suitable size, leaving the surface smooth, tight, and conforming to the contour required. 4) Place the stones to create a plane surface with a maximum variation of 6 inches in 10 feet from true plane. Provide the same degree of accuracy for warped and curved surfaces. 5) Prevent earth, sand or foreign material from filling the spaces between the stones. After the stones are in place, thoroughly wet them, fill the spaces between them with grout, and pack. Sweep the surface with a stiff broom after grouting. c. Mortaring 1) Construct riprap as shown in Figure 2. Lap courses as described for dry placement. Before placing mortar, wet the stones thoroughly. 2) As the larger stones are placed, bed them in fresh mortar and shove adjacent stones into contact with one another. 3) After completing the work, spread all excess mortar forced out during placement of the stones uniformly over them to fill all voids completely. Point up all joints roughly either with flush joints or with shallow, smooth - raked joints as directed. D. Block 1. Construct riprap as shown in Figure 4. Place stones on a bed excavated for the base course. Bed the base course of stone well into the ground with the edges in contact. Bed and place each succeeding course in even contact with the preceding course. 2. Use spalls and small stones to fill any open joints and voids in the riprap. Ensure the finished surface presents an even, tight surface, true to the line and grades ofthe typical sections. 3. When the Drawings require grouting Block stone riprap, prevent earth, sand, or foreign material from filling the spaces between the stones. After the stones are in place, wet them thoroughly, fill the spaces between them with grout, and pack. Sweep the surface with a stiff broom after grouting. E. Slab 1. Construct riprap as shown in Figure 5. Place riprap stone on the slopes within the limits shown on the Drawings. Place stone for riprap on the bedding material to produce a reasonably well -graded mass of riprap with the minimum practicable percentage of voids. 2. Construct the riprap to the lines and grades shown on the Drawings or staked in the field. A tolerance of +6 inches and -0 inch from the slope line and grades shown on the Drawings is allowed in the finished surface of the riprap. 3. Place riprap to its full thickness in a single operation. Avoid displacing the bedding material. Ensure that the entire mass of stones in their final position is free from objectionable pockets of small stones and clusters of larger stones.

Concrete must attain its 36 design strength within 56 days. The compressive strength of concrete is considered 37 satisfactory if both the following criteria are met: CITY OF FORT WORTH Chuck Silcox, Lebow, Westhaven, Kingsridge West Parks STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS 104701, 104702, 104703, 104781 Revised June 13, 2025 3213 13-20 CONCRETE PAVING Page 20 of 22 1 a. No single strength test falls below the specified compressive strength, f',, by 2 more than 500 psi (3.45 MPa) when f , is 5000 psi (34.5 MPa) or less; 3 b. The average of every three consecutive strength tests equals or exceeds the 4 specified compressive strength. 5 The 4" by 8" cylinders are acceptable only when the nominal maximum aggregate 6 size of the mix is less than 1-1/4 inch. 7 4. If the average 28-day and/ or the 56'I' day break, from the hold, test results indicate 8 deficient strength, the Contractor may, at its option and expense, core the pavement 9 in question and have the cores tested by an approved laboratory in accordance with 10 ASTM C42 and ACI 318 protocol. The average of all cores must meet 100 percent 11 of the minimum specified strength, with no individual core resulting in less than 90 12 percent of design strength, in order to override the results of the cylinder tests. 13 5. In the event cylinders and/or cores do not meet minimum specified strength, 14 additional cores may be taken to identify the limits of deficient concrete pavement 15 at the expense of the Contractor. 16 6. Cylinders and/or cores must meet minimum specified strength. Pavement not 17 meeting the minimum specified strength shall be subject to the money penalties or 18 removal and placement at the Contractor's expense as shown in the following table. 19 Percent Deficient Percent of Contract Price Allowed Greater Than 0 percent - Not More Than 10 percent 90- ercent Greater Than 10 percent - Not More Than 15 percent 80- ercent Greater Than 15 percent 0-percent or removed and replaced at the entire cost and expense of Contractor as directed by City 20 21 7.

No additional payment over the contract unit price shall be made for any pavement 24 with a strength exceeding that required by the Drawings and/or specifications. 25 E. Cracked Concrete Acceptance Policy 26 1. If cracks exist in concrete pavement upon completion of the project, the Project 27 Inspector shall decide as to the need for action to address the cracking as to its 28 cause and recommended remedial work. 29 2. If the recommended remedial work is routing and sealing of the cracks to protect 30 the subgrade, the Inspector shall make the determination as to whether to rout and 31 seal the cracks at the time of final inspection and acceptance or at any time prior to 32 the end of the project maintenance period. The Contractor shall perform the routing 33 and sealing work as directed by the Project Inspector, at no cost to the City, 34 regardless of the cause of the cracking. 35 3. If remedial work beyond routing and sealing is determined to be necessary, the 36 Inspector and the Contractor shall meet to determine the cause of the cracking. 37 a. If agreement is reached that the cracking is due to deficient materials or 38 workmanship, the Contractor shall perform the remedial work at no cost to the 39 City. Remedial work in this case shall be limited to removing and replacing the 40 deficient work with new material and workmanship that meets the requirements 41 of the contract.
