(HWA) compieted a geotechnical engineerin� study for the <br />proposed PubGc Acce.xv Pier and Transient Moorage project at the Port ofEverett. The <br />approximate location of the site and the general configura'ion of the proposed new pubGc <br />access pier and transient moorage facility are shown on the Vicinity Map and the Site <br />Plan, Figures 1 and 2, respectively. The purpose of the geotechnical engineering study <br />was to evaluate the onshore soil and groundwater conditions at the project site, and <br />provide recomnendations for geotechnical aspects of the proposed project. <br />1.2 PROJECP DESCRIPTION <br />' Our understanding of the project is based on discussions with and design information <br />provided by the Port of Everett and Rad Ivfiddleton. Based on the infonnation provided, <br />' we understand that the Port of Everett plans to constcuct a new pub6c access pier and <br />uansient moorage facility that will be connected by a 9oating handicap-accessible <br />gangway system. The new public access pier and moorage facility will be conswded <br />' between the Port of Everett's South Marina and the Port Gardner Landing Project. Based <br />on discussions with Reid Middletoq we understand the proposed pubGc access pia will <br />probably be constructed on octagonal precast concrete piles. Octagonal precast concreee <br />' piles, or possibly steel pipe piles will restrain the moorage floats. The gangway system <br />will be supported on steel pipe piling. <br />' <br />, <br />1 <br />1 <br />I� <br />' <br />1.3 SCOPE OF WORK AND AUTHORIZATION <br />A proposed scope of work and cost estimate for this geotechnical engineerir►g study was <br />submitted by HWA to the PoR of Everett on February 28, 1996. Mr. Donald Hamilton of <br />the Port of Everett authorized the proposed scope of services on March 1, 1996. Our <br />scope of work included collecting and re�iewing readily available geotechnical/geologic <br />information for the project area, dril6ng and sampling two onshore exploratory borings, <br />and perfortning laboratory testing and engineering analyses to develop geotechnical design <br />recommendations for the proposed new public access pier and transient moorage facality. <br />
