alternative slope stabilization measures considering the results of slope stability analyses <br /> and proximity of the new reservoir, if applicable. <br /> • Provide recommendations for site preparation and earthwork including estimated <br /> stripping depths and required subgrade preparation, suitability of on-site soils for use as <br /> structural fill including any constraints for wet weather construction, gradation criteria <br /> for any structural fill material which may have to be imported, and fill placement and <br /> compaction requirements. Also provide earthwork and construction considerations for <br /> demolition of the existing Reservoir 2 considering the adjacent slope. <br /> • Develop recommendations for excavation and shoring, including temporary cut slopes. <br /> • Provide a description of the groundwater conditions encountered or expected and <br /> conclusions and recommendations regarding dewatering techniques, where appropriate. <br /> This will include a discussion of appropriate dewatering techniques and details, and <br /> suggestions for dewatering specifications and bid items, if appropriate. <br /> • Perform engineering analyses and provide conclusions and recommendations for the <br /> following: <br /> o Foundation type for the reservoir and appropriate design capacities and/or bearing <br /> pressures, lateral resistance values and estimates of expected foundation settlement. <br /> We anticipate that both a mat foundation and a slab and ring-wall foundation <br /> configuration will be evaluated. <br /> o Settlement mitigation measures, if applicable, including preload and surcharge <br /> alternatives to reduce post construction settlements to within tolerable limits. <br /> o Geotechnical considerations for subgrade preparation for foundations. <br /> o Shoring design including lateral pressures and partial shoring considerations. <br /> o Pipe support including bedding and backfill. <br /> o Construction dewatering considerations including depth to groundwater encountered <br /> during drilling, and estimated permeability coefficients based on laboratory sieve <br /> analyses. <br /> o Seismic design criteria based on AWWA and IBC including soil profile type, <br /> spectral response accelerations, seismic coefficients, site class and seismic use group. <br /> o Erosion control measures during and following construction, and permanent site <br /> drainage. <br /> o Shallow building foundations and slab-on-grade for the new valve house. <br /> o Retaining wall design parameters for grade transitions at the site, if required. <br /> • Comment on any anticipated construction difficulties identified from the results of the <br /> field exploration and from experience on projects at similar sites. <br /> • Present findings and recommendations in a written report with supporting site plan, <br /> boring logs, and other applicable figures. <br /> • Attend one or two meetings with MSA and/or the City of Everett, as requested. <br /> • Provide support to MSA during preliminary design of the plans and specifications, as <br /> requested. <br /> City of Everett MURRAY,SMITH&ASSOCIATES,INC.
