The approximate location of the site is depicted on Figure 1. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the subsurface conditions and to provide design and construction recommendations regarding geotechnical aspects of the proposed project. This report presents the findings of our subsurface exploration program, results of our laboratory testing, conclusions regarding the subsurface conditions at the site, and geotechnical recommendations for design and construction of this project. 2 SCOPE OF SERVICES The scope of our services for the project generally included: • Review of referenced background information, including aerial imagery, published geologic and maps, in-house geotechnical data, and available topographical information pertaining to the project site and vicinity. • Performance of a geologic reconnaissance and mark-out of the boring locations at the project site. • Notification of Utility Notification Center of Colorado of the boring locations prior to drilling. • Drilling, logging, and sampling of 17 small-diameter exploratory borings within the project site to depths ranging between approximately 15.5 and 20.5 feet below ground surface (bgs). The boring logs are presented in Appendix A. Boring locations are presented on Figure 2. • Performance of laboratory tests on selected samples obtained from the borings to evaluate engineering properties including in-situ moisture content and dry density, Atterberg limits, percent materials finer than the No. 200 sieve and gradation, consolidation/swell potential, and soil corrosivity characteristics (including pH, resistivity, water soluble sulfates, and chlorides). The results of the laboratory testing are presented on the boring logs and in Appendix B. • Compilation and analysis of the data obtained. • Preparation of this report presenting our findings, conclusions, and geotechnical recommendations regarding design and construction of the project. DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 2 3 SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND REVIEW The site is an approximately 20-acre parcel of land in Fort Collins, Colorado. The project site is bounded by agricultural land followed by East Vine Drive to the north, by the NW Frontage Road to the east, by Redman Drive to the south, and by a creek followed by agricultural land to the west. The site is approximately 2.5 miles southeast of Lindenmeier Lake and Long Pond Reservoir. The project site was used as farmland at the time of our subsurface exploration. Aerial photograph review indicates that the subject site has existed similar to its current condition since 1999 or earlier. The approximate location of the site is presented on Figure 1. 4 PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION The development of the site includes the design and construction of two industrial buildings with plan areas ranging from approximately 74,400 to 94,000 square feet (sf). Ancillary construction of pavement areas surrounding the development and an approximately 40,500 sf detention pond are also anticipated. Based on the site conditions and the anticipated construction, cut/fill thicknesses of generally less than 5 feet are anticipated for the development. Deeper cut/fill should be anticipated for deeper utilities. Detailed information regarding the finished floor elevations and anticipated loading information was not available for review at the time of this report. 5 FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING On June 3, 2019, Ninyo & Moore conducted a subsurface exploration at the site to evaluate the existing subsurface conditions and to collect soil samples for laboratory testing. The evaluation consisted of the drilling, logging, and sampling of 17 small-diameter borings using a truck- mounted drill rig equipped with 4-inch diameter solid-stem augers. The borings were drilled to depths ranging between approximately 15.5 and 20.5 feet bgs. The approximate locations of the borings are presented on Figure 2. Relatively undisturbed and disturbed soil samples were collected at selected intervals. The sampling methods used during the subsurface evaluation are presented in Appendix A. Soil samples collected during the subsurface exploration were transported to the Ninyo & Moore laboratory for geotechnical laboratory analyses. Selected samples were analyzed to evaluate engineering properties including in-situ moisture content and dry density, Atterberg limits, percent materials finer than the No. 200 sieve and gradation, swell/consolidation potential, and DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 3 soil corrosivity characteristics (including resistivity, pH, water soluble sulfates and chlorides). The results of the in-situ moisture content and dry density tests are presented on the boring logs in Appendix A. Descriptions of the laboratory test methods and the remainder of the test results are presented in Appendix B. 6 GEOLOGY AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS The geology and subsurface conditions at the site are described in the following sections. 6.1 Geologic Setting The site is located approximately 9 miles east of the Rocky Mountain Front Range, within the Colorado Piedmont section of the Great Plains Physiographic Province. The Laramide Orogeny uplifted the Rocky Mountains during the late Cretaceous and early Tertiary Periods. Subsequent erosion deposited sediments east of the Rocky Mountains, including the Pierre Shale in the area. As a result of regional uplift approximately 5 to 10 million years ago streams, such as the South Platte River, downcut and excavated into the Great Plains forming the Colorado Piedmont section (Trimble, 1980). The surficial geology of the site is mapped by Colton (1978) as Pleistocene-age Broadway Alluvium generally consisting of sand and gravel. The Pierre Shale bedrock is mapped as underlying the site at depth. 6.2 Subsurface Conditions Our understanding of the subsurface conditions at the project site is based on our field exploration, laboratory testing, review of published geologic maps, historic aerial imagery, and our experience with the general geology of the area. The following sections provide a generalized description of the subsurface materials encountered. More detailed descriptions are presented on the boring logs in Appendix A. 6.2.1 Loam Loam was encountered at the surface in each boring and extended to depths between approximately 2 and 9 feet bgs. The loam generally consisted of various shades of brown, white, and red, moist, firm to very stiff, fat clay with varying amounts of sand and gravel and lean clay with varying amounts of sand and gravel. As the site is used for agricultural purposes, a surficial plow zone with loosened soil should be anticipated. DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 4 Based on the results of the laboratory testing, selected samples of the loam generally exhibited moderate to high plasticity, had in-place moisture contents ranging from approximately 10.4 to 21.9 percent, and dry densities ranging from approximately 102.0 to 119.9 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). 6.2.2 Alluvium Alluvium was encountered in each boring beneath the loam and extended to the borings’ termination depths of up to approximately 20.5 feet bgs. The alluvium was generally composed of various shades of brown, red, yellow, and gray, moist to wet, very loose to very dense, fine to coarse sand with varying amounts of clay, silt, and gravel, and firm to stiff, sandy, silty clay and sandy lean and fat clay. Based on the laboratory test results, the selected samples of the alluvium had in-place moisture contents ranging from approximately 1.1 to 27.0 percent and dry densities ranging from approximately 93.9 to 128.1 pcf. 6.3 Groundwater Groundwater was encountered in our borings at depths ranging between approximately 8.5 and 12 feet bgs during drilling. Groundwater levels can fluctuate due to seasonal variations, precipitation, irrigation, groundwater withdrawal or injection, and other factors. Depending on the time of year construction occurs, groundwater, particularly perched groundwater within the upper loam soils, could be encountered. However, based on the knowledge of the area and the results of our subsurface exploration, groundwater is not considered to be a constraint to the construction of this project, but may be encountered during deep utility excavation and installation. 7 GEOLOGIC HAZARDS The following sections describe potential geologic hazards at the site including faulting and seismicity, expansive soils, compressible/collapsible soils, and liquefaction potential. 7.1 Faulting and Seismicity Historically, several minor earthquakes have been recorded around the Front Range area. Based on our field observations and our review of readily available published geological maps and literature there are no known active faults underlying or adjacent to the subject site. The faults closest to the project site include the Walnut Creek and Rock Creek Faults and the Golden Fault. DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 5 The Rock Creek and Walnut Creek Faults lay approximately 45 miles southwest of the site (Widmann, Kirkham, and Rogers, 1998). Both faults are mapped as 3 kilometer long reverse faults with slip rates of less than 0.2 millimeters per year. Both Faults are located in the High Plains region, just east of the Front Range. They are downthrown to the southeast and may become listric at depth where it is floored within the Laramie Formation (Risk Engineering, 1994). The surface of the Quaternary-age alluvium above the bedrock does not appear to be displaced so there is not strong evidence of Quaternary faulting. The Golden Fault lies approximately 50 miles southwest of the site. The fault is considered to be late Quaternary in age and has not shown displacement in Holocene time, as Pleistocene deposits overlie the fault (approximately 75 to 125 thousand years before the present [Kirkham, 1977]). Therefore, the probability of damage at the site from seismically induced ground surface rupture from this fault is considered to be low. Design of any proposed improvements should be performed in accordance with the requirements of the governing jurisdictions and applicable building codes. Table 1 presents the preliminary seismic design parameters for the site in accordance with the 2015 International Building Code guidelines and adjusted maximum considered earthquake spectral response acceleration parameters evaluated using the web-based OSHPD ground motion calculator (OSHPD, 2019).

Moisture changes to bedrock or surficial deposits containing swelling clays can result in volumetric expansion and collapse of those units. Changes in soil moisture content can result from rainfall, irrigation, pipeline leakage, surface drainage, perched groundwater, drought, or other factors. Volumetric change of expansive soil may cause excessive cracking and heaving of structures with shallow foundations, concrete slabs-on- grade, or pavements supported on these materials. Construction on soils known to be potentially expansive could have a significant impact to the project. A review of a Colorado Geological Survey map delineating areas based on their relative potential for swelling in the Front Range area by Hart (1973-1974) indicates soil and bedrock materials in the project vicinity typically exhibit low swell potential. Based on the results of our laboratory testing, the loam deposits exhibited swell percentages of up to approximately 5 percent when inundated against surcharge pressures of 200 pounds per square foot (psf). The alluvial deposits exhibited swell percentages of up to approximately 1.5 percent at surcharge pressures of 500 psf. Based on the results of our subsurface exploration, laboratory testing, and the information obtained from our background review, the on-site soils expected to be encountered during project development would have a slab performance risk category of “LOW ”, based on the criteria presented in Table 2. Recommendations intended to reduce the risk for post- construction movement due to swelling soils are included in this report. Table 2 – Slab Performance Risk Categories Slab Performance Risk Category Representative Percent Swell (500 psf Surcharge) Representative Percent Swell (1,000 psf Surcharge) LOW 0 to <3 0 to <2 MODERATE 3 to <5 2 to <4 HIGH 5 to <8 4 to <6 VERY HIGH > 8 > 6 Note: Based on Colorado Association of Geotechnical Engineers, Guidelines for Slab Performance Risk Evaluation and Residential Basement Floor System Recommendations (Denver Metropolitan Area, 1996). DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 7 We recommend supporting the proposed buildings on shallow foundations and slab-on-grade floors bearing on a zone of moisture conditioned and compacted fill material (i.e., fill prism). The recommendations provided in this report assume supporting the proposed improvements on a fill prism is acceptable to the Owner and can be accommodated by the structural design. It should be recognized that the proposed buildings may experience distortions of approximately 1-inch (vertical) over 50 feet (horizontal) due to the swell potential of the on-site soils that will be used to construct the fill prism. Failure to follow the site drainage recommendations provided in Section 9.10 may also result in additional building movement that is difficult to quantify. 7.3 Compressible/Collapsible Soils Compressible soils are generally comprised of soils that undergo consolidation when exposed to new loadings, such as fill or foundation loads. Soil collapse (or hydro-collapse) is a phenomenon where soils undergo a significant decrease in volume upon an increase in moisture content, with or without an increase in external loads. Buildings, structures, and other improvements may be subject to excessive settlement-related distress when compressible soils or collapsible soils are present. Based on our subsurface evaluation, the results of our laboratory testing, and provided the recommendations provided herein are followed, it is our opinion post-construction settlements due to the imposed foundation loads will be within generally accepted construction practices. 7.4 Liquefaction Potential Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which loose, saturated soils lose shear strength under short- term (dynamic) loading conditions. Ground shaking of sufficient duration results in the loss of grain-to-grain contact in potentially liquefiable soils due to a rapid increase in pore water pressure, causing the soil to behave as a fluid for a short period of time. To be potentially liquefiable, a soil is typically cohesionless with a grain-size distribution generally consisting of sand and silt. It is generally loose to medium dense and has a relatively high moisture content, which is typical near or below groundwater level. The potential for liquefaction decreases with increasing clay and gravel content, but increases as the ground acceleration and duration of shaking increase. Potentially liquefiable soils need to be subjected to sufficient magnitude and duration of ground shaking for liquefaction to occur. Based on our subsurface exploration, laboratory testing, and the relatively low ground motion anticipated at the site, liquefaction is not considered a hazard at this site. DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 8 8 CONCLUSIONS Based on the results of the subsurface evaluation, laboratory testing, and data analyses, it is our opinion that the proposed project is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint, provided the recommendations presented herein are implemented and appropriate construction practices are followed. Geotechnical design and construction considerations for the proposed project include the following: • Loam was encountered at the surface in each boring and extended to depths between approximately 2 and 9 feet bgs. The loam generally consisted of various shades of brown, white, and red, moist, firm to very stiff, fat clay with varying amounts of sand and gravel and lean clay with varying amounts of sand and gravel. Laboratory testing indicates the loam deposits exhibit high swell potential. • Alluvium was encountered in each boring beneath the loam and extended to the borings’ termination depths of up to approximately 20.5 feet bgs. The alluvium was generally composed of various shades of brown, red, yellow, and gray, moist to wet, very loose to very dense, fine to coarse sand with varying amounts of clay, silt, and gravel, and firm to stiff, sandy, silty clay and sandy lean and fat clay. Laboratory testing indicates the alluvial deposits exhibit low swell potential. • Based on our aerial imagery review, the site has been used for agricultural purposes since 1999 or earlier. A plo w zone should be anticipated at the subgrade level. The loosened soil within the plow zone should be removed and recompacted as engineered fill. • As an alternative to deep foundation systems, overlot grading improvements should be designed carefully so that the swelling soils are removed and replaced to create a zone of low-swelling material below the proposed structures and surface improvements. Chemical treatment of pavement subgrade could also be considered to reduce the swell potentials. • The on-site soils should generally be excavatable with medium- to heavy-duty earthmoving or excavating equipment in good operating condition. • Groundwater was encountered at depths ranging between approximately 8.5 and 12 feet bgs during drilling. Groundwater levels will fluctuate due to seasonal variations from precipitation, irrigation, groundwater withdrawal or injection, and other factors. In general, groundwater is not anticipated to be a constraint to the proposed construction but may be encountered during excavation and installation of deep utilities. • Based on our laboratory data and our experience with similar materials at adjacent sites, the sulfate content of the tested soils presents a moderate risk of sulfate attack to concrete. We recommend the use of Type II cement for construction of concrete structures at this site. • Based on our laboratory data and our experience with similar materials at adjacent sites, the subgrade soils at the site are moderately corrosive to ferrous metals. Therefore, special consideration should be given to the use of heavy gauge, corrosion-protected, underground steel pipe or culverts, if any are planned. As an alternative, plastic pipe or reinforced concrete pipe could be considered. A corrosion specialist should be consulted for further recommendations. • No known or reported active faults are reported underlying, or adjacent to, the site. Based on the low ground motion hazard, the likelihood or potential for liquefaction is considered to DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 9 be negligible and therefore not a design consideration. 9 RECOMMENDATIONS Based on our understanding of the project, the following sections present our geotechnical recommendations for design and construction of the proposed buildings and other site improvements. 9.1 Earthwork The following sections provide our earthwork recommendations for this project. We anticipate the site grading may consist of material cuts and fills on the order of 5 feet. Deeper cuts and fills may be needed to install buried utilities. 9.1.1 Excavations Our evaluation of the excavation characteristics of the on-site materials is based on the results of the subsurface exploration, our site observations, and our experience with similar materials. The on-site surface and near surface soils (loam and alluvium) may generally be excavated with moderate- to heavy-duty earthmoving or excavation equipment in good operating condition. Equipment and procedures that do not cause significant disturbance to the excavation bottoms should be used. Excavators and backhoes with buckets having large claws to loosen the soil should be avoided when excavating the bottom approximately 6 to 12 inches of excavations as such equipment may disturb the excavation bases. The site has been used as agriculture fields. It should be anticipated that loose and disturbed soil will be encountered at the subgrade level which will need to be compacted and moisture-conditioned prior to fill placement. The contractor should provide safely sloped excavations or an adequately constructed and braced shoring system, in compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) (OSHA, 2005) guidelines, for employees working in an excavation that may expose employees to the danger of moving ground. If material is stored or equipment is operated near an excavation, stronger shoring should be used to resist the extra pressure due to superimposed loads. DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 10 9.1.2 Site Grading Prior to grading, the ground surface in proposed structure and improvement areas should be cleared of any surface obstructions, debris, topsoil, organics (including vegetation), and other deleterious material. Materials generated from clearing operations should be removed from the project site for disposal (e.g. at a legal landfill site). Obstructions that extend below finish grade, if present, should be removed and resulting voids filled with compacted, engineered fill or Controlled Low Strength Material (CLSM). The proposed buildings may be supported on shallow foundation systems consisting of spread-footings bearing on a relatively uniform thickness of moisture-conditioned and compacted engineered fill extending to 12 or more inches below the bottom of the footings. The buildings may be provided with slab-on-grade floors bearing 3 or more feet of moisture conditioned and compacted engineered fill. The limits of this fill layer should extend 5 or more feet out beyond the footings to reduce the swell potential within the structures, as well as the surrounding building appurtenances, such as exterior flatwork adjacent to the building. There are risks associated with supporting pavements over expansive soils without soil modification. However, the costs associated with remediating pavement subgrades for expansive soils are generally considered cost-prohibitive. Therefore, the following recommendation for pavement subgrade preparation is provided assuming the owner is willing to accept some risk of poor pavement performance as a result of post-construction vertical movements associated with the high swell potential of the overburden soils. Asphalt and concrete pavements and flatwork may be placed on 24 or more inches of moisture conditioned and compacted engineered fill. As an alternative, the upper 12 or more inches of subgrade below the pavements sections could be chemically treated using fly ash or lime to reduce plasticity, reduce swell-potential, and increase strength of the treated subgrade soils. The geotechnical consultant should be retained to observe the remedial excavations, and the elevations of the excavation bottoms should be surveyed by the project civil engineer. The exposed subgrade materials should be firm and unyielding prior to fill placement. The extent of and depths of removal should be evaluated by our representative during the excavation work based on observation of the soils exposed. Additional recommendations DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 11 specific to the site conditions encountered may be provided at the time of construction. The project budget should include additional cost associated with the removal and replacement of additional fill material. Subgrade materials that are disturbed during grading should be moisture conditioned and re-compacted according to the recommendations provided in this report. 9.1.3 Re-Use of Site Soils The onsite soils encountered during our subsurface exploration consisted of loam and alluvium. Laboratory testing indicates the onsite soils have high swell potential at low confinement pressures (near surface soils) at their in-situ moisture contents. Soils generated from on-site excavation activities in the loam and alluvium deposits that are free of deleterious materials and organic matter, do not contain particles larger than 3 inches in diameter, can generally be used as engineered fill as evaluated by the geotechnical consultant provided they are compacted and moisture conditioned as recommended in this report. Fragments of rock, cobbles, and inert construction debris (e.g., concrete or asphalt) larger than 3 inches in diameter may be incorporated into the project fills in non-structural areas and below the anticipated utility installation depths. A Geotechnical Engineer should be consulted regarding appropriate recommendations for usage of such materials on a case- by-case basis when such materials have been observed during earthwork. Care should be taken to avoid nesting of oversized materials during placement. Recommendations provided in Section 203 of the current CDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction should be followed during the placement of oversized material. 9.1.4 Fill Placement and Compaction Fine-grained soils (on-site soils that classify as CL or CH) used as engineered fill should be moisture-conditioned to moisture contents between optimum moisture content and 3 percent over optimum moisture content. Granular soils (on-site soils that classify as SC, SW, SP-SC, or import soils) used as engineered fill should be moisture-conditioned to moisture contents within 2 percent of optimum moisture content. Engineered fill should be placed in uniform horizontal lifts. Engineered fill should be compacted to a relative compaction of 95 percent, or more, as evaluated by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D698. The engineered fill should be compacted by appropriate mechanical methods. Lift thickness for fill will be dependent upon the type of compaction equipment utilized. Backfill should be DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 12 placed in lifts not exceeding 8 inches in loose thickness in areas compacted by other-than hand operated machines. Backfill should be placed in lifts not exceeding 6 inches in loose thickness in areas compacted by hand operated machines. Fill materials should not be placed, worked, rolled while they are frozen, thawing, or during poor/inclement weather conditions. Compaction areas should be kept separate, and no lift should be covered by another until relative compaction and moisture content within the recommended ranges are obtained. Use of controlled low-strength material (CLSM) should be considered in lieu of compacted fill for areas with low tolerances for surface settlements, for excavations that extend below the groundwater table and in areas with difficult access for compaction equipment. CLSM should be placed in lifts of 5 feet or less with a 24-hour or more curing period between each lift. 9.1.5 Imported Soil Imported soil to be used as engineered fill should be free of organic material and other deleterious materials should consist of relatively impervious material with a very low to low expansion potential (less than 1 percent against a surcharge pressure of 500 psf when remolded at optimum moisture content). Imported fill should have less than 50 percent passing the No. 200 Sieve and should have a plasticity index that is between 10 and 20. Import soil in contact with ferrous metals should have low corrosion potential. Import material in contact with concrete should have a soluble sulfate content less than 0.1 percent. We further recommend that proposed import soils be evaluated by the project’s geotechnical consultant at the borrow source for its suitability prior to importation to the project site. Import soil should be moisture-conditioned and placed and compacted in accordance with the recommendations set forth in Section 9.1.4. 9.1.6 Controlled Low Strength Material Use of CLSM should be considered in lieu of compacted fill for areas with low tolerances for surface settlements, for excavations that extend below the groundwater table and in areas with difficult access for compaction equipment. CLSM consists of a fluid, workable mixture of aggregate, Portland cement, and water. CLSM should be placed in lifts of 5 feet or less with a 24-hour or more curing period between each lift. DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 13 The use of CLSM has several advantages: • A narrower excavation can be used where shoring is present, thereby minimizing the quantity of soil to be excavated and possibly reducing disturbance to the near-by traffic; • Compaction requirements do not apply; • There is less risk of damage to improvements, since little compaction is needed to place CLSM; • CLSM can be batched to flow into irregularities in excavation bottoms and walls; and • The number of workers needed inside the trench excavation is reduced. The CLSM mix design should be submitted for review prior to placement. The 28-day strength of the material should be no less than 50 pounds per square inch (psi) and no more than 150 psi. CLSM should be observed and tested by the geotechnical consultant. 9.1.7 Utility Installation The contractor should take particular care to achieve and maintain adequate compaction of the backfill soils around manholes, valve risers and other vertical pipeline elements where settlements are commonly observed. Use of CLSM or a similar material should be considered in lieu of compacted soil backfill in areas with low tolerances for surface settlement. This would also reduce the permeability of the utility trenches. Pipe bedding materials, placement and compaction should meet the specifications of the pipe manufacturer and applicable municipal standards. Materials proposed for use as pipe bedding should be tested for suitability prior to use. Special care should be exercised to avoid damaging the pipe or other structures during the compaction of the backfill. In addition, the underside (or haunches) of the buried pipe should be supported on bedding material that is compacted as described above. This may need to be performed with placement by hand or small-scale compaction equipment. Surface drainage should be designed to divert the surface water away from utility trench alignments. Where topography, site constraints or other factors limit or preclude adequate surface drainage, the granular bedding materials should be surrounded by a non-woven geotextile fabric (e.g., TenCate Mirafi® 140N or the equivalent) to reduce the migration of fines into the bedding which can result in severe, isolated settlements. Development of site grading plans should consider the subsurface transfer of water in utility trenches and the pipe bedding. Sandy pipe bedding materials can function as efficient DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 14 conduits for re-distribution of natural and applied waters in the subsurface. Cut-off walls in utility trenches or other water-stopping measures should be implemented to reduce the rates and volumes of water transmitted along utility alignments and toward buildings, pavements and other structures where excessive wetting of the underlying soils will be damaging. Incorporation of water cut-offs and/or outlet mechanisms for saturated bedding materials into development plans could be beneficial to the project. These measures also will reduce the risk of loss of fine-grained backfill soils into the bedding material with resultant surface settlement. 9.1.8 Temporary Cut Slopes Temporary excavations will be needed for this project to construct utilities. Based on the subsurface information obtained from our exploratory excavations and our experience with similar projects, we anticipate that the soil conditions and stability of the excavation sidewalls may vary with depth. Soils with higher fines content may stand vertically for a short time (less than 12 hours) with little sloughing. However, as the soil dries after excavation or as the excavations are exposed to rainfall, sloughing may occur. Soils with low cohesion (e.g., predominately sandy or gravelly material), may slough or cave during excavation, especially if wet or saturated. The contractor should provide safely sloped excavations or an adequately constructed and braced shoring system, in compliance with OSHA regulations as mentioned in Section 9.1.1. In our opinion, the site soils should generally be considered a Type C soil when applying the OSHA regulations. For these soil conditions, OSHA recommends a temporary slope inclination of 1.5H:1V or flatter for excavations 20 feet or less in depth. Appropriate slope inclinations should be evaluated in the field by an OSHA-qualified “Competent Person” based on the conditions encountered. 9.2 Spread Footing Foundations Perimeter footings should extend to 36 inches or more below the lowest exterior finished grade (for frost protection), and bear on 12 or more inches of moisture-conditioned and compacted engineered fill as described in Section 9.1.2 of this report. Continuous wall footings should have a width of 18 inches or more and column footings should have a width of 24 inches or more. Footings should be reinforced in accordance with the recommendations of the Structural Engineer. DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 15 Footings may be designed using an allowable bearing pressure of 2,500 pounds psf for static conditions. The bearing capacity may be increased by one-third when considering loads of short duration such as wind or seismic forces. The foundations should preferably be proportioned such that the resultant force from design loads, including lateral loads, falls within the kern (i.e., middle one-third of the footing base). Uplift resistance can be developed from the weight of the footings, the effective weight of any overlying soil, and the weight of the supported structure itself. The effective unit weight of the soil can be assumed to be 120 pcf. Soil uplift resistance may be calculated as the weight of the soil prism defined by a diagonal line extending from the perimeter of the foundation to the ground surface at an angle θ equal to 20 degrees from the vertical. Under large moment and/or shear loading, the effective size of the uplift soil prism may be reduced. An appropriate safety factor should be applied. The bottom surface of foundation excavations should be compacted with hand-held dynamic compaction equipment (i.e., jumping jack, flat-plate vibrator) prior to placement of forms and reinforcing steel. The base of foundation excavations should be free of water and loose soil prior to placing concrete. Concrete should be placed soon after subgrade compaction to reduce bearing soil disturbance. Should the soils at bearing level become excessively dry, disturbed, or saturated, the affected soil should be moisture conditioned and compacted. It is recommended that Ninyo & Moore be retained to observe, test, and evaluate the soil foundation bearing materials. Based on the results of our subsurface exploration and laboratory testing, and provided our grading recommendations provided in Section 9.1 are followed, we estimate total and differential settlement of approximately 1-inch and 1/2-inch, respectively. Distortions of approximately 1-inch (vertical) over 50 feet (horizontal) are possible due the swell potential of the on-site soils. 9.3 Slab-On-Grade Floors The buildings may be provided with slab-on-grade floors bearing 3 or more feet of moisture conditioned and compacted engineered fill as described in Section 9.1.2 of this report. For slab design, a design modulus of subgrade reaction (K) of 150 pounds per square inch per inch of deflection (pci) may be used for the subgrade soils in evaluating such deflections. This value is based on a unit square foot area and can be adjusted for large slabs. Adjusted values DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 16 of the modulus of subgrade reaction, Kv, can be obtained from the following equation for slabs of various widths: Kv = K[(B+1)/2B]2 (pci) B in the above equation represents the width of the slab in feet between line loads/point loads. The design of the floor slabs (including jointing and reinforcement) is the responsibility of the Structural Engineer. Joints should be constructed at intervals designed by the Structural Engineer to help reduce random cracking of the slab. Floor slabs should be adequately reinforced. Recommendations based on structural considerations for slab thickness, jointing, and steel reinforcement should be developed by the Structural Engineer in accordance with American Concrete Institute recommendations. Proper placement of reinforcement in the slab is vital for satisfactory performance. The slab should be constructed so that it “floats” independent of the foundations. Floor slabs should be separated from bearing walls and columns with expansion joints, which allow unrestrained vertical movement. Joints should be observed periodically, particularly during the first several years after construction. Slab movement can cause previously free-slipping joints to bind. Measures should be taken so that slab isolation is maintained in order to reduce the likelihood of damage to walls and other interior improvements. If post-construction vertical slab movement of approximately 1 inch cannot be tolerated or desired, then we recommend utilizing a structural floor system spanning over a void or a crawl space. Interior partitions resting on floor slabs should be provided with slip joints so that if the slabs move, the movement cannot be transmitted to the upper structure, including wallboards and door frames. A slip joint that allows 2 or more inches of vertical movement is recommended for placement at the bottoms of the interior partitions. If slip joints are placed at the tops of walls, in the event that the floor slabs move, it is expected that the wall will show signs of distress, especially where the floors meet the exterior wall. Interior plumbing lines that penetrate interior partition walls, where the slip joints are placed at the top of the walls, should be provided with flexible connections that can handle 2 or more inches of vertical movement. The need for a moisture retarding and/or vapor retarding system should be considered by the Structural Engineer or Architect, based on the moisture sensitivity of the anticipated flooring. The placement of a vapor retarder is recommended in areas where moisture-sensitive floor coverings are anticipated. DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 17 9.4 Earth Pressures and Below-Grade Walls Earth pressures are used to compute the lateral forces acting on below-grade walls. These pressures can be classified as at-rest, active, and passive. The direction and magnitude of the soil/wall movement just before failure affects the resulting pressure condition. At-rest conditions exist when there is no movement, such as for a restrained wall. Active stresses are exerted when the wall moves out and the soil moves toward the wall away from the soil mass, thereby mobilizing the shear strength of the soil. Passive stresses exist when the wall moves toward the soil mass. The recommended equivalent fluid pressures in Table 3 assume moisture-conditioned and compacted engineered fill with an angle of internal friction (φ) of 26 degrees and a unit weight of 120 pcf. The values listed below are for static conditions. Table 3 – Lateral Earth Pressures Soil Condition Active Pressure (pcf) At-rest Pressure (pcf) Passive Pressure (pcf) Engineered Fill 47 67 307 The use of heavy compaction equipment adjacent to below-grade walls could result in lateral earth pressures well in excess of those predicted in Table 3. We recommend that the upper 24 inches of soil that is not protected by pavement or a concrete slab, be neglected when calculating passive resistance. This zone, where applicable, should be backfilled with cohesive soils to minimize infiltration of surface water into the backfill. For frictional resistance to lateral loads, we recommend that an ultimate coefficient of friction of 0.35 be used between soil and concrete. To limit long-term hydrostatic pressure behind the wall, we recommend measures, such as placement of sealants, be taken such that surface water is not allowed to penetrate between the loading dock walls and exterior slabs. 9.5 Pavements We understand project pavements will be privately maintained. Pavement section alternatives are included herein for the paved surfaces, which include standard duty automobile parking areas and driveways, and heavy duty drive lanes and fire lanes. The pavement sections recommended below were developed in general accordance with the guidelines and procedures of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 18 Officials (AASHTO), (AASHTO, 1993), CDOT, and Larimer County. Table 4 summarizes the minimum pavement sections for asphaltic concrete (AC) pavements and Portland cement concrete pavements (PCCP). Pavement sections may be modified once more detailed information regarding traffic volumes and vehicle usage is available for review. 9.5.1 Pavement Design Specific traffic loadings for the project were not available at the time of this report preparation. Based on our experience with similar commercial facilities, an equivalent 18- kip single axle load value of 36,500 was assumed for standard-duty automobile parking areas and 365,000 was assumed for heavy-duty drive lanes and loading areas for 20-year design lives, respectively. If design traffic loadings differ significantly from this assumed value, we should be notified to re-evaluate the pavement recommendations below. The current subgrade soils encountered in our borings typically consisted of lean clay to fat clay with varying amounts of sand and gravel that classify as A-6 and A-7 soils in accordance with the AASHTO classification system. It is anticipated that fill imported to the site will classify as A-6 or better. We utilized a design R-Value of 5 for the pavement subgrade soils for the project. The design of flexible pavements was based on the following input parameters: Initial Serviceability: 4.5 Terminal Serviceability: 2.0 Reliability 80% Overall Standard Deviation: 0.44 Resilient Modulus (untreated): 3,025 psi (R-Value of 5) Stage Construction: 1.0 The design of rigid pavements was based on the following input parameters: Initial Serviceability: 4.5 Terminal Serviceability: 2.0 Reliability 80% 28-Day Mean PCC Modulus Rupture: 650 psi 28-Day Mean Modulus of Elasticity: 3.6 x 106 psi Mean Effective k value: 100 psi/in Overall Standard Deviation: 0.34 Load Transfer Coefficient: 4.2 Overall Drainage Coefficient: 1.0 DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 19 Based on the above-mentioned guidelines, procedures, and input parameters, Table 4 provides our recommended pavement section thicknesses for pavements supported on 2 or more feet of moisture conditioned and compacted engineered fill (overexcavated and recompacted in-situ deposits). Table 4 – Recommended Pavement Thickness Traffic Type Full Depth AC (inches) Composite AC / ABC (inches) PCCP (inches) Standard-Duty Areas 6.0 4.0 / 6.0 5.0 Heavy-Duty Areas 8.0 6.0 / 8.0 6.0 Notes: AC = Asphalt Concrete, ABC = Aggregate Base Course, PCCP = Portland Cement Concrete Pavement We recommend PCCP be utilized in entrance and exit sections, dumpster pads, loading areas, or other areas where extensive wheel maneuvering are expected. The dumpster pad should be large enough to support the wheels of the truck, which will bear the load of the dumpster. Although the use of ABC is not integral for structural support in PCCP pavements, the placement of 4 or more inches of ABC below PCCP pavements will develop a more stable subgrade for concrete truck traffic associated with the pavement construction and help reduce potential slab curl, shrinkage cracking, and subgrade “pumping” through joints. Adequate joint spacing and reinforcement is recommended to prevent loss of load transfer across saw-cut crack control joints. Joints should be sealed to reduce water infiltration. The design guidelines provided in the referenced ACI 330R-01 guide should be followed for joint spacing and reinforcing. Where practical, we recommend “early-entry” cutting of crack-control joints in PCCP. Cutting of PCCP in its ‘green” state typically reduces the potential for micro-cracking of the pavements prior to the crack control joints being formed, compared to cutting the joints after the concrete has fully set. Micro-cracking of pavements may lead to crack formation in locations other than the sawed joints, and/or reduction of fatigue life of the pavement. Ninyo & Moore has observed dishing in some AC parking lots. Dishing is observed in frequently-used parking stalls (such as near the front of buildings), and occurs under the wheel footprint in these stalls. The use of higher-grade AC, or surfacing these areas with PCCP, could be considered. The dishing is exacerbated by factors such as irrigated islands or planter areas, and sheet surface drainage to the front of structures. DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 20 If AC pavements are utilized in the trailer parking areas, dishing of the AC pavements should be anticipated where trailer dollies are in contact with the AC surface due to the concentrated loads which occur at the trailer dollies. As a result, we recommend a PCCP dolly pad be constructed within the heavy-duty AC areas. The dolly pad should have a width of 5 feet or more. Reinforcing and joint spacing should be designed by the project structural engineer. 9.5.2 Dolly Pads If trailer parking is desired in the heavy-duty AC areas, dishing of the AC areas should be anticipated where trailer dollies are in contact with the AC surface due to the concentrated loads which occur at the trailer dollies. As a result, we recommend a PCCP dolly pad be constructed within the heavy-duty AC areas if trailing parking is desired in these areas. The dolly pad should be constructed on both the shipping and receiving pavements and should have a width of 5 feet or more. Reinforcing and joint spacing should be designed by the project structural engineer. 9.5.3 Pavement Subgrade Preparation Due to the measured swell potential of the subgrade fill materials, we recommend pavements are placed on a zone of moisture-conditioned and compacted fill extending 24 or more inches below the bottom of the pavement section or flatwork as discussed above in Section 9.1.2. As an alternative, the pavements can be placed on a zone of 12 or more inches of CTS using fly ash, lime, or Portland cement to reduce plasticity, reduce swell- potential, and increase strength of the treated subgrade soils. The contractor should be prepared either to dry the subgrade materials or moisten them, as needed, prior to compaction. Some site soils may pump or deflect during compaction if moisture levels are not carefully monitored. The contractor should be prepared to process and compact such soils to establish a stable platform for paving, including use of chemical stabilization or geotextiles, where needed. The prepared subgrade should be protected from the elements prior to pavement placement. Subgrades that are exposed to the elements may need additional moisture conditioning and compaction, prior to pavement placements. Immediately prior to paving, the subgrade should be proofrolled with a heavily loaded, pneumatic tired vehicle and checked for moisture. Areas that show excessive deflection during proof rolling should be excavated and replaced and/or stabilized. Areas allowed to pond prior to paving may need to be re-worked prior to proofrolling. DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 21 It should be noted that the subgrade recommendations included in this report are provided based on the owner accepting some risk of poor pavement performance due to the on-site swelling soils. The measures recommended above are intended to minimize this risk. Additional recommendations could be provided to further reduce this risk. 9.5.4 Pavement Materials The AC pavement shall consist of a bituminous plant mix composed of a mixture of high quality aggregate and bituminous material, which meets the requirements of a job-mix formula established by a qualified engineer. The asphalt material used should be based on a SuperPave Gyratory Design Revolution of 75. Lower lifts should be constructed using an asphalt mix Grading S and asphalt cement binder grade PG 58-28. The top lift should be constructed using an asphalt mix Grading SX and asphalt cement binder grade PG 64-22. Pavement layer thickness should be between 2 and 3 inches for the lower lifts and 2 to 2.5 inches for the top lift. The geotechnical engineer should be retained to review the proposed pavement mix designs, grading, and lift thicknesses prior to construction. PCCP should consist of a plant mix composed of a mixture of aggregate, Portland cement and appropriate admixtures meeting the requirements of Larimer County. Concrete should have a modulus of rupture of third point loading of 650 psi or more. The concrete should be air-entrained with approximately 6 percent air and should have a cement content of six or more sacks per cubic yard. Allowable slump should be approximately 4 inches. Thickened edges should be used along outside edges of PCCP. The edge thickness should be 2 inches or more than the recommended PCCP thickness and taper to the recommended PCCP thickness 36 inches inward from the edge. Integral curbs may be used in lieu of thickened edges. PCCP should have longitudinal and transverse joints that meet the applicable requirements of Larimer County. 9.5.5 Pavement Maintenance The collection and diversion of surface drainage away from paved areas is vital to satisfactory performance of the pavements. The subsurface and surface drainage systems should be carefully designed to facilitate removal of the water from paved areas and subgrade soils. Allowing surface waters to pond on pavements will cause premature pavement deterioration. Where topography, site constraints or other factors limit or preclude adequate surface drainage, pavements should be provided with edge drains to reduce loss DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 22 of subgrade support. The long-term performance of the pavement also can be improved greatly by backfilling and compaction behind curbs, gutters, and sidewalks so that ponding is not permitted and water infiltration is reduced. Landscape irrigation in planters adjacent to pavements and in “island” planters within paved areas should be carefully monitored or differential heave and/or rutting of the nearby pavements will result. Drip irrigation systems are recommended for such planters to reduce over-spray and water infiltration beyond the planters. We recommend edge drains where the profile/slopes are less than 1 percent. The standard care of practice in pavement design describes the recommended flexible pavement section as a “20-year” design pavement; however, many pavements will not remain in satisfactory condition without routine, preventive maintenance and rehabilitation procedures performed during the life of the pavement. Preventive pavement treatments are surface rehabilitation and operations applied to improve or extend the functional life of a pavement. These treatments preserve, rather than improve, the structural capacity of the pavement structure. In the event the existing pavement is not structurally sound, the preventive maintenance will have no long-lasting effect. Therefore, a routine maintenance program to seal joints and cracks, and repair distressed areas is recommended. 9.6 Concrete Flatwork Ground-supported flatwork, such as walkways, will be subject to soil-related movements resulting from heave/settlement, frost, etc. Thus, where these types of elements abut rigid building foundations or isolated/suspended structures, differential movements should be anticipated. We recommend that flexible joints be provided where such elements abut the main structure to allow for differential movement at these locations. We recommend that exterior concrete flatwork and the target structures be supported on improved subgrade as described in Section 9.1.2 of this report. Positive drainage should be established and maintained adjacent to flatwork. Water should not be allowed to pond on flatwork. In no case should exterior flatwork extend under any portion of the building where there is less than 2 inches of clearance between the flatwork and any element of the building. Exterior flatwork in contact with brick, rock facades, or any other element of the building can cause damage to the structure if the flatwork experiences movements. DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 23 The ground-supported flatwork should be provided with crack-control and expansion joints in accordance with Larimer County Specifications. 9.7 Corrosion Considerations The corrosion potential of on-site soils to concrete and buried metal was evaluated in the laboratory using selected samples obtained from the exploratory borings. Laboratory testing was performed to assess the effects of sulfate on concrete and the effects of soil resistivity on buried metal. Results of these tests are presented in Appendix B. Recommendations regarding concrete to be utilized in construction of proposed improvements and for buried metal pipes are provided in the following sections. 9.7.1 Concrete The test for water-soluble sulfate content of the soils was performed using CDOT Test Method CP-L 2104. The laboratory test results are presented in Appendix B. The percentage of water-soluble sulfates in water measured was 0.025 percent, corresponding to 250 parts per million, respectively. Based on Table 601-2 of the CDOT 2011 Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, the on-site soils represent a Class 1 severity of sulfate exposure to concrete on a scale that ranges between Class 0 and Class 3. Therefore, we recommend that the concrete used for this project should have a maximum water to cementitious material ratio of 0.45 and the cementitious materials should meet one of the below outlined requirements. • ASTM C 150 Type II or V; Class C fly ash shall not be substituted for cement. • ASTM C 595 Type IP(MS) or IP(HS); Class C fly ash shall not be substituted for cement. • ASTM C 1157 Type MS or HS; Class C fly ash shall not be substituted for cement. • When ASTM C 150 Type III cement is allowed, as in Class E concrete, it shall have no more than 8 percent C3A. Class C fly ash shall not be substituted for cement. The Structural Engineer should ultimately select the concrete design strength based on the project specific loading conditions. However, higher strength concrete may be selected for increased durability, resistance to slab curling and shrinkage cracking. We recommend the use of concrete with a design 28-day compressive strength of 4,000 psi or more, for concrete slabs at this site. Concrete exposed to the elements should be air-entrained. DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 24 9.7.2 Buried Metal Pipes The corrosion potential of the on-site materials was analyzed to evaluate its potential effects on buried metals. Corrosion potential was evaluated using the results of laboratory testing of samples obtained during the subsurface evaluation that were considered representative of soils at the subject site. The results of the laboratory testing indicate the on-site materials have low resistivity and could potentially be moderately corrosive to ferrous metals. Therefore, special consideration should be given to the use of heavy gauge, corrosion protected, underground steel pipe or culverts, if any are planned. As an alternative, plastic pipe or reinforced concrete pipe could be considered. A corrosion specialist should be consulted for further recommendations. 9.8 Scaling Climatic conditions in the project area including relatively low humidity, large temperature changes and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, may cause surficial scaling and spalling of exterior concrete. Occurrence of surficial scaling and spalling can be aggravated by poor workmanship during construction, such as “over-finishing” concrete surfaces and the use of de-icing salts on exterior concrete flatwork, particularly during the first winter after construction. The use of de- icing salts on nearby roadways, which can be transferred by vehicle traffic onto newly placed concrete, can be sufficient to induce scaling. The measures below can be beneficial for reducing the concrete scaling. However, because of the other factors involved, including workmanship, surface damage to concrete can develop even though the measures provided below were followed. The mix design criteria should be coordinated with other project requirements including the criteria for soluble sulfate resistance presented in Section 9.7.1. • Curing concrete in accordance with applicable codes and guidelines. • Maintaining a water/cement ratio of 0.45 by weight for exterior concrete mixes. • Including Type F fly ash in exterior concrete mixes as 20 percent of the cementitious material. • Specifying a 28-day, c ompressive strength of 4,500 or more psi for exterior concrete that may be exposed to de-icing salts. • Avoiding the use of de-icing salts through the first winter after construction. • If colored concrete is being proposed for use at this site, Ninyo & Moore should be consulted for additional recommendations. DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 25 9.9 Frost Heave Site soils are susceptible to frost heave if allowed to become saturated and exposed to freezing temperatures and repeated freeze/thaw cycling. The formation of ice in the underlying soils can result in two or more inches of heave of pavements, flatwork and other hardscaping in sustained cold weather. A portion of this movement may be recovered when the soils thaw, but due to loss of soil density some degree of displacement will remain. Frost heave of hardscaping could also result in areas where the subgrade soils were placed on engineered fill. In areas where hardscape movements are a design concern (i.e. exterior flatwork located adjacent to the building within the doorway swing zone), replacement of the subgrade soils with 2 or more feet of clean, coarse sand or gravel, or supporting the element on foundations similar to the building, or spanning over a void should be considered. Recommendations in this regard can be provided upon request. 9.10 C onstruction in Cold or Wet Weather During construction, the site should be graded such that surface water can drain readily away from the building areas. Given the soil conditions, it is important to avoid ponding of water in or near excavations. Water that accumulates in excavations should be promptly pumped out or otherwise removed and these areas should be allowed to dry out before resuming construction. Berms, ditches, and similar means should be used to decrease stormwater entering the work area and to efficiently convey it off site. Earthwork activities undertaken during the cold weather season may be difficult and should be done by an experienced contractor. Fill should not be placed on top of frozen soils. The frozen soils should be removed prior to the placement of fill or other construction material. Frozen soil should not be used as engineered fill or backfill. The frozen soil may be reused (provided it meets the selection criteria) once it has thawed completely. In addition, compaction of the soils may be more difficult due to the viscosity change in water at lower temperatures. If construction proceeds during cold weather, foundations, slabs, or other concrete elements should not be placed on frozen subgrade soil. Frozen soil should either be removed from beneath concrete elements, or thawed and recompacted. To limit the potential for soil freezing, the time passing between excavation and construction should be minimized. Blankets, straw, soil cover, or heating may be used to discourage the soil from freezing. DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 26 9.11 Site Drainage Infiltration of water into subsurface soils can lead to soil movement and associated distress, and chemically and physically related deterioration of concrete and masonry structures. To reduce the potential for infiltration of moisture into subsurface soils at the site, we recommend the following: • Positive drainage should be established and maintained away from the proposed buildings. Positive drainage may be established by providing a surface gradient for paved areas of 2 to 5 percent or more for a distance of 10 feet or more away from structures. Where concrete flatwork is placed adjacent to structures and other considerations are required by law, such as ADA requirements, slopes of 1 percent or more are considered acceptable. For unpaved areas, positive drainage may be established by a slope of 5 to 10 percent for 10 feet or more away from structures, where possible. • Adequate surface drainage should be provided to channel surface water away from on-site structures and off paved surfaces to a suitable outlet such as a storm drain. Adequate surface drainage may be enhanced by utilization of graded swales, area drains, and other drainage devices. Surface run-off should not be allowed to pond near structures. • Building roof drains should have downspouts tightlined to an appropriate outlet, such as a storm drain or the street, away from structures, pavements, and flatwork. If tightlining of the downspouts is not practicable, they should discharge 5 feet or more away from structures and onto surfaces that slope away from the structure. Downspouts should not be allowed to discharge onto the ground surface adjacent to building foundations or on exterior walkways. • The possibility of moisture infiltration beneath a structure, in the event of plumbing leaks, should be considered in the design and construction of underground water and sewer conduits. Permitting increases in moisture to the building supporting soils may result in a decrease in bearing capacity and an increase in settlement, heave, and/or differential movement. Incorporating a perimeter drainage system around the building foundations that will aid in reduction of the moisture infiltration of subsurface soils may be considered. Due to the proposed construction and anticipated utilities within the structures, not placing the perimeter drainage would be considered a low risk to the owner. • Irrigated landscaping, consisting of sprinklers to water plants with high demands for water, should not be placed within 10 feet of the building(s). Drip irrigation is considered acceptable within this zone. • Utility trenches should be backfilled with compacted, low permeability fill (i.e. permeability of 5-10 cm/s or less) within 5 feet of the building. Planters, if any, should be maintained 10 feet or more from the building and constructed with closed bottoms or with drainage systems to drain excess irrigation away from the building. 9.12 Construction Observation and Testing A qualified geotechnical consultant should perform appropriate observation and testing services during grading and construction operations. These services should include observation of any soft, loose, or otherwise unsuitable soils, evaluation of subgrade conditions where soil removals are performed, evaluation of the suitability of proposed borrow materials for use as fill, DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 27 evaluation of the stability of open temporary excavations, evaluation of the results of any subgrade stabilization or dewatering activities, and performance of observation and testing services during placement and compaction of engineered fill and backfill soils. The geotechnical consultant should also perform observation and testing services during placement of concrete, mortar, grout, asphalt concrete, and steel reinforcement. If another geotechnical consultant is selected to perform observation and testing services for the project, we request that the selected consultant provide a letter to the owner, with a copy to Ninyo & Moore, indicating that they fully understand our recommendations and that they are in full agreement with the recommendations contained in this report. Qualified subcontractors utilizing appropriate techniques and construction materials should perform construction of the proposed improvements. 9.13 Plan Review The recommendations presented in this report are based on preliminary design information for the proposed project and on the findings of our geotechnical evaluation. When finished, project plans and specifications should be reviewed by the geotechnical consultant prior to submitting the plans and specifications for bid. Additional field exploration and laboratory testing may be needed upon review of the project design plans. 9.14 Pre-Construction Meeting We recommend a pre-construction meeting be held. The owner or the owner’s representative, the architect, the contractor, and the geotechnical consultant should be in attendance to discuss the plans and the project. 10 LIMITATIONS The field evaluation, laboratory testing, and geotechnical analyses presented in this geotechnical report have been conducted in general accordance with current practice and the standard of care exercised by geotechnical consultants performing similar tasks in the project area. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made regarding the conclusions, recommendations, and opinions presented in this report. There is no evaluation detailed enough to reveal every subsurface condition. Variations may exist and conditions not observed or described in this report may be encountered during construction. Uncertainties relative to subsurface conditions can be reduced through additional subsurface exploration. Additional subsurface evaluation will be performed upon request. Please also note that our evaluation was limited to assessment of DRAFT Ninyo & Moore | Proposed Poudre Valley Development, Fort Collins, Colorado | 501710001 R | July 2, 2019 28 the geotechnical aspects of the project, and did not include evaluation of structural issues, environmental concerns, or the presence of hazardous materials.

Bulk Samples Bulk samples of representative earth materials were obtained from the exploratory borings. The samples were bagged and transported to the laboratory for testing. Field Procedure for the Collection of Ring-lined Samples Ring-lined soil samples were obtained in the field using the following methods. The Modified California Split-Barrel Drive Sampler The sampler, with an external diameter of 3.0 inches, was lined with thin brass rings with inside diameters of approximately 2.4 inches. The sample barrel was driven into the ground with the weight of a hammer in general accordance with ASTM D 3550. The driving weight was permitted to fall freely. The approximate length of the fall, the weight of the hammer or bar, and the number of blows per foot of driving are presented on the boring logs as an index to the relative resistance of the materials sampled. The samples were removed from the sample barrel in the brass rings, sealed, and transported to the laboratory for testing. The California Drive Sampler The sampler, with an external diameter of 2.4 inches, was lined with four 4-inch long, thin brass rings with inside diameters of approximately 1.9 inches. The sample barrel was driven into the ground with the weight of a hammer in general accordance with ASTM D 3550. The driving weight was permitted to fall freely. The approximate length of the fall, the weight of the hammer, and the number of blows per foot of driving are presented on the boring logs as an index to the relative resistance of the materials sampled. The samples were removed from the sample barrel in the brass liners, sealed, and transported to the laboratory for testing.

Soil classifications are indicated on the logs of the exploratory excavations in Appendix A. In-Place Moisture and Density Tests The moisture content and dry density of ring-lined samples obtained from the exploratory borings were evaluated in general accordance with ASTM D 2837. These test results are presented on the logs of the exploratory borings in Appendix A. Atterberg Limits Tests were performed on selected representative fine-grained soil samples to evaluate the liquid limit, plastic limit, and plasticity index in general accordance with ASTM D 4318. These test results were utilized to evaluate the soil classification in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System. The test results and classifications are shown on Figures B-1 through B-4. No. 200 Sieve Analysis An evaluation of the percentage of particles finer than the No. 200 sieve in selected soil samples was performed in general accordance with ASTM D 1140. The results of the tests are presented on Figures B-5 through B-7. Consolidation/Swell Tests Consolidation/swell tests were performed on selected ring-lined soil samples in general accordance with ASTM D 4546. The samples were inundated during testing to represent adverse field conditions. The percent of consolidation or swell for each load cycle was recorded as a ratio of the amount of vertical compression to the original height of the sample. The results of the tests are summarized on Figures B-8 through B-25. Soil Corrosivity Tests A soil pH test was performed on a representative sample in general accordance with ASTM Test Method D 4972. A soil minimum resistivity test was performed on a representative sample in general accordance with AASHTO T288. The sulfate content of a selected sample was evaluated in general accordance with CDOT Test Method CP-L 2103. The chloride content of a selected sample was evaluated in general accordance with CDOT Test Method CP-L 2104. The test results are presented on Figure B-26.
