Geotechnicai Report <br />Riverside Business Park, Lots 2 and 4 <br />Riverside Road <br />Everett, Washington <br />1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br />The project consists of developing Lots 2 and 4 comprising approximately 11 acres of land at the Riverside <br />Business Park in Everett, Washington. Sheet GP-01, dated November 16, 2016 prepared by The Blueline Group <br />indicates development will include construction of two industrial buildings with associated infrastructure <br />improvements. Buildings A and B will have footprint areas of 98,000 and 110,700 square feet, respectively. <br />Each of the buildings will have their floors constructed at Elev. 20.25. Loading docks are planned at the south <br />side of Building A and the east side of Building B. <br />We expect the building will be constructed using precast concrete tilt up wall panels with interior isolated <br />columns supporting the roof framing. We anticipate structural loading will be light, with columns carrying 100 <br />to 150 kips and continuous bearing walls carrying 4 to 6 kips per lineal foot. Product loading on the floor slab is <br />not expected to exceed 350 pounds per square foot. <br />The recommendations contained in the following sections of this report are based on the above design features. <br />We should review any changes in the geotechnical aspects of the design plans as they are developed to verify that <br />our recommendations are valid for the proposed construction and to amend or modify our report, as necessary. <br />2.0 SCOPE OF WORK <br />Our scope of work was completed in general accordance with our authorized proposal dated October 25, 2016. <br />On November 21 and 22, 2016, six Cone Penetration Tests (CPTs) were advanced at the site to depths of 60 and <br />60.5 feet. Using the information obtained from our subsurface exploration, we performed analyses to develop <br />geotechnical engineering recommendations for project design and construction. <br />Specifically, this report addresses the following: <br />• Soil and groundwater conditions <br />• Seismic <br />• Site preparation and grading including recommendations for building preload or surcharge to mitigate <br />floor and foundation settlement. <br />• Foundations <br />• Floor slabs <br />• Lateral earth pressures for wall design <br />• Subsurface drainage <br />• Utilities <br />• Pavements <br />
