A significant amount of fill will be necessary to raise site grades within the fill pad area to match <br /> the floor elevation of adjoining buildings. Existing grades around the south and west perimeter of the site <br /> are within a few feet of the established Building 40-58 finished floor elevation(FFE);along the north and <br /> east sides of the fill pad,up to about 16 ft of fill will be necessary for level construction. Retaining walls <br /> are planned along the west and east fill pad perimeter. Along the north side of the building, an integral <br /> foundation and retaining wall will be constructed. <br /> Building 40-58 will include two large open spans supported by rows of columns along the north <br /> and south building walls plus an interior column array also oriented along an east-west axis. A concrete <br /> slab-on-grade will support factory floor loads of up to 500 psf. <br /> 1.2 SCOPE OF SERVICES <br /> Landau Associates was subcontracted by BRPH to provide services to support the project. Our <br /> scope of services includes geotechnical design and construction recommendations, as documented in our <br /> subcontract agreement with BRPH,dated April 11,2014. <br /> Our scope of services includes the following: <br /> • A review of existing data regarding the site, including mapped geology, past site grading <br /> and construction activities,past explorations, and the layout of existing building,utilities, <br /> and other built infrastructure. <br /> • Preparation for the geotechnical subsurface exploration program,including utility locates, <br /> field reconnaissance,work plan development,and field program management. <br /> • Exploratory drilling and sampling and geotechnical laboratory testing <br /> • Analysis and development of recommendations for the design of building foundations, <br /> floor slabs and aprons, earthwork, site grading, seismic input parameters,suitable shoring <br /> and retaining wall systems,and earth pressures on below-grade structures. <br /> • Preparation of this report,which includes the following(note that the interim draft report <br /> does not fully address all of these topics): <br /> — a site plan showing pertinent site features and the approximate locations of the <br /> explorations accomplished for this study. <br /> — descriptive logs of the explorations and the results of the geotechnical laboratory <br /> testing. <br /> — a summary of surface and subsurface soil and groundwater conditions observed at the <br /> project site during our field exploration program. <br /> — an evaluation of the moisture sensitivity of the soil at the project site. <br /> — recommendations for site preparation and earthwork, including reuse of site soil, and <br /> criteria for selection,placement,and compaction of general fill and structural fill. <br /> — recommendations for slopes and support of temporary and permanent excavations, as <br /> would be necessary for footing excavations. <br /> 5/16/14 P.\1423\002\O10\FileRm\R\Draft Bldg 40-58 Reporl\Bldg 40-58_draft rpt docx INTERIM DRAFT <br /> 1-2 <br />
