EARTHWORK OBSERVATION REPORT <br />Report Number: M7231404.0013 <br />Service Date: 09/18/23 <br />Report Date: 10/17/23 <br />Client <br />Brixton Everett LLC <br />Attn: Kyle Godat <br />120 S Sierra Ave <br />Solana Beach. CA 92075 <br />Permit No.: 132208-032132208-032 <br />® ierracon <br />20225 Cedar Valley Rd Ste 110 <br />Lynnwood, WA 98036-6365 <br />425-742-9360 <br />Project <br />Everett Mall Redevelopment <br />1402 SE Everett Mall Way <br />Everett, WA <br />Proiect Number: M7231404 <br />GENERAL INFORMATION <br />Bayley Construction (Bayley) requested Terracon's presence on site for floor slab subgrade observation within <br />the former Sears Building and future Trader Joe's tenant space. The results of the observations were reported <br />verbally to Bayley prior to departing the site. The Terracon representative arrived on site at 0900 and departed <br />at 1200. <br />SUMMARY OF OBSERVATIONS <br />Prior to arriving on site, the floor slab had been removed for the entirety of the tenant space. The material <br />exposed generally consisted of a damp, tan to yellow -brown, medium to coarse grained SAND (SP) with gravel. <br />The subgrade was observed with a 1/2" diameter steel T-probe advanced manually until refused. Probing was <br />performed in 5' to 10' intervals for the entirety of the floor slab area. In general, the exposed subgrade was <br />observed to be in a loose condition for the upper 4" to 6" but transitioned to a denser condition below this depth. <br />A linear section of loose backfill was observed along the northwestern portion of the subgrade. In conferring with <br />Bayley Superintendent, Joe Lang, it was understood that backfilling of a drain line had occurred in this area. The <br />depth of the loose material within the backfilled trench was between 12" to 30" below the exposed surface. The <br />probing intervals were reduced, as needed, to assess the extent of the loose area. The unsuitable backfill was <br />marked in the field with orange spray paint to aid the contractor in identifying the areas where additional <br />earthwork is recommended. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS <br />The Terracon representative reviewed the subgrade condition with Bayley Superintendent, Joe Lang, prior to <br />exiting the site. The following recommendations were communicated: <br />Trench Backfill <br />Remove the loose material for at least the areas identified via probing (orange painted areas). <br />Moisture condition the removed material, as needed, and recompact in 8" or less lifts if hand operated <br />equipment is used and 12" or less lifts if a hoe-pac is used. <br />Dispatch Terracon to observe the exposed subgrade after excavating and before beginning <br />backfilling/recompaction. Terracon should observe each lift of backfill. <br />The tests were performed in general accordance with applicable ASTM, AASHTO, or DOT test methods.
