already installed) be provided atound the appropriate side of all buildings. The footing drains should be installed at the baze of the footing and sloped to drain by gtavity. This drainage shoul� also be tightlined to a suitable discharge point. ADDITIONAL GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING SERVICES ' The project was in the conceptual stage at the time of this report. Significant grading will be necessary to accomplish the proposed development. The grade transitions will likely include � retaining stcuctures because of the site topography. The site soils are sensitive to moisture and ' ' a Ferched ground water condition can develop. Site topography and the drainage considerations must be carefully incotporated into the project design. Once preliminary grading and r; development plazu have ban prepared, we recommend ihat we review the plans to determine if additional geotechnical engineering corsiderations or recommendations are appropriate. CONSTRUCTION MONITORING SERVICES As mentioned in this report, it is possible that additional geotechnical design and construction considerations(e.g.,drainage mea��res)may be appropriate as site areas are exposed during construction. Therefore, we recommend that full-time construction monitoring by a �, member of our fitm during the "mass grading" phase of the project. Once utility work or other peripheral grading is accomplished, inte[mittent monitoring would be moro appropriate. � LIMITATIONS ;� We have prepared this report for use by Schnitzer Northwat and other members of the i design team for use in design of a portion of this project. The report is not intended for use by others and the information contained herein is not applicable to other sita. The data and report should be provided to prospective contractors for their bidding or estimating purposes, but our report, conclusions and interptetations should not be construed az a wananty of the subsurface conditions. Before constcuction, we tecommend that the final design and specifications be reviewed by our firm to see that our recommendations have been interpreted and implemented as intended. There are possible variations in subsurface conditions between the ezplorations and variations are also possible over time. A contiagency for unanticipated conditions should be included in the budget and schedule. Sufficient monitoring, testing and consultation by our firm should be provided during constcuction to confinn that the conditions encountered are consistent with those indicated by the explorations, to provide recommendations for design changes should the conditions rcvealed during the work differ from those anticipated, and to evaluate whether or not earthwork and foundation installation activities camply with contract pians and specifications. Our present scope of services does not inctude review of plans and specifications or const�uction monitoring. We would be glad to develop a scope and associated cost atimate for these services, at your requat. G e o E n { i n e e r � 16 File No. 1460-006-77•1130/111297
