Port of Everett—South Terminal Wharf& Electrical Upgrades—Phase 2 131 <br /> • Type and density of the soil; <br /> • Presence and amount of any seepage; <br /> • Depth of cut; <br /> • Proximity of the cut to any surcharge loads near the top of the cut,such as stockpiled material,traffic <br /> loads,structures,etc.; <br /> • Duration of the open excavation;and <br /> • Care and methods used by the contractor. <br /> Based on these factors,we recommend: <br /> • Using plastic sheeting to protect slopes from erosion; and <br /> • Limiting the duration of open excavations as much as possible. <br /> • Temporary Cuts. <br /> RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES <br /> Recommendations discussed in this report should be reviewed and modified as needed during the final <br /> design stages of the project.We also recommend that geotechnical construction observation be <br /> incorporated into the construction plans.The following sections present our recommended post-report <br /> geotechnical engineering services specific to this project. <br /> Post-Report Design Services <br /> We recommend that Hart Crowser be given the opportunity to review geotechnical aspects of the final <br /> design plans and specifications to confirm that our recommendations were properly understood and <br /> implemented in the design.We will be available to discuss these issues with the design team as the design <br /> develops and as needed.Specifically,we recommend the following additional design services: <br /> • Provide geotechnical engineering support to the civil/structural engineer during preparation of project <br /> plans and specifications;and <br /> • Prepare geotechnical review letters and response to geotechnical plan review comments from the City <br /> of Everett. <br /> Construction Observation Services <br /> Because the future performance and integrity of the structural elements of the project will depend largely <br /> on proper pile installation,site preparation,drainage,fill placement,and construction procedures, <br /> monitoring and testing by experienced geotechnical personnel should be considered an integral part of the <br /> construction process. <br /> ss <br /> Y 19232-01 <br /> HARTCROINSER December 6,2017 <br />
