coordinates,north zone, as specified by COE. The vertical datum will be NAVD-88. The <br /> topographic survey will be developed as a 1'=20' scale file with one or two foot contours, <br /> in accordance with COE standards. <br /> • Package and electronically transmit the topographic and boundary survey information to <br /> the project team for their use in the site plan and reservoir design. <br /> 208.2 Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering- GeoEngineers will provide geotechnical <br /> engineering services consisting of subsurface explorations and evaluation of soils and <br /> groundwater conditions for the reservoir and site improvements. A more detailed <br /> description of services to be performed is provided below. <br /> • Review geologic and hydrogeologic references, available groundwater data, and <br /> previous geotechnical reports regarding subsurface soil and groundwater conditions. <br /> Participate in scoping discussions with MSA and/or the City of Everett, as requested. <br /> • Visit the site to complete a geologic reconnaissance of the current site and slope <br /> conditions, soil exposures, seepage areas, evaluate near-surface soils with hand tools, <br /> and to complete photographic documentation. <br /> • Meet with utility representatives and clear boring locations. GeoEngineers will call the <br /> One Call Service and also subcontract a private utility locator to aid in locating the <br /> borings. <br /> • Explore subsurface soil and groundwater conditions at the site by drilling 5 borings with <br /> a track drill rig to depths ranging from 15 to 80 feet. GeoEngineers representative will <br /> maintain a detailed log of each boring and obtain samples of the various materials <br /> encountered. The samples will be returned to GeoEngineers office for additional <br /> examination and laboratory testing. GeoEngineers will plan to leave cuttings on site in <br /> an area designated by City staff Based on the project understanding, borings are <br /> proposed in the following areas: <br /> o Two borings within the proposed new reservoir footprint to confirm existing fill <br /> characteristics, and the variability of transitional deposits below the foundation <br /> considering settlement analyses (estimated 50 to 60 feet each) <br /> o One boring in the north portion of the site for trenching recommendations for the <br /> new pipe(15 feet) <br /> o One boring at the proposed new valve house location (25 feet considering the slope <br /> in this area) <br /> o One boring at the crest of the steep slope to supplement the previous borings in this <br /> area and obtain laboratory data for slope stability analyses (estimated 80 feet) <br /> • Evaluate pertinent physical and engineering characteristics of the soils from the results <br /> of the field explorations and geotechnical laboratory tests performed on samples <br /> obtained from the explorations. Anticipate completing moisture content tests, gradation <br /> tests, Atterberg Limits testing, and consolidation testing, as appropriate. <br /> • Describe site conditions including detailed subsurface soil conditions encountered based <br /> on results of the field explorations and geotechnical laboratory analysis. <br /> • Develop a critical cross section for slope stability analyses based on GeoEngineers' <br /> review of site conditions, and the results of drilling and laboratory testing.
