The City of Everett comments <br /> pertaining to the deferred wall submittal are provided below, followed by our response: <br /> Comment 1 - All designs appear to have been produced 5-6 years ago using non-IBC <br /> documents. It is not clear if any of the standard or design procedures may have been superseded <br /> with more current requirements or recommendations. The documents should be revised as <br /> needed. The appropriate standard editions should be specified. <br /> ESNW Response — With respect to the ESNW produced lock and load (MSE) and rockery <br /> designs, we have reviewed the documents with respect to current design practice. The wall plans <br /> and related recommendations for geogrid reinforcement, drainage, cut stability, rockery boulder <br /> size, compaction, and other pertinent recommendations remain applicable and no structural <br /> revisions to the plans are deemed necessary. <br /> Comment 2 - All wall types should specify special inspection requirements in the respective <br /> drawings. Inspection schedules should list the type and frequency of each inspection required. <br /> The MSE and rockery walls should specify geotechnical inspections per IBC Table 1705.6. The <br /> soil nail walls should specify geotechnical and structural inspections per IBC Tables 1705.3 and <br /> 1705.6; additional tests per Table 1705.7 should be specified as applicable. Inspections and <br /> tests should also be listed as required by the specified design standards used for each wall. <br /> 15365 N.E. 90th Street,Suite 100 0 Redmond,WA 98052 0 (425)449-4704 • FAX(425)449-4711 <br />
