SCOPE
This report presents the results of our soils and foundation Investigation for
the proposed new picnic shelter at Legacy Park In Fort Collins, Colorado (Figure 1).
The purpose of this Investigation was to evaluate the subsurface conditions and
provide foundation recommendations for the proposed shelter.
This report was prepared from data developed during our field exploration,
laboratory testing, engineering analysis and experience with similar conditions. This
report contains our opinions, conclusions and recommendations for geotechnical
criteria for design and construction of foundations, a slab -on -grade floor, and
drainage precautions for the proposed picnic shelter. A summary of our conclusions
and recommendations follows.
SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS
1. The borings penetrated 12 feet of sandy gravel. Ground water was not
encountered during drilling.
2. In our opinion, the shelters can be founded with a thickened edge slab
on the natural soils or engineered fill.
3. Surface drainage should be designed, constructed and maintained to
provide rapid runoff of surface water away from the proposed picnic
shelter. Conservative irrigation practices should be followed to avoid
excessive wetting.
SITE CONDITIONS
Legacy Park is located along the Cache la Poudre River on Woodlawn Drive,
northwest of the intersection of Vine Drive and North College Avenue in northeast
Fort Collins, Colorado. The existing picnic shelter is to be demolished and replaced
with the new shelter. The building site is relatively flat. Ground cover in the area
consisted of natural weed, grass and trees.

PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
The site included in this investigation Is planned for a picnic shelter. We
understand that the picnic shelterwill be a steel framed canopy over a thickened edge
slab -on -grade foundation. Foundation loads are expected to be column loads with
very low deadload. If final designs are different from our assumptions, we should be
advised so we can review our criteria.
INVESTIGATION
The field investigation for the proposed picnic shelter Included drilling one
exploratory boring. The boring was drilled to a depth of 12 feet using a truck -
mounted drill with 4-Inch diameter, continuous -flight augers. Drilling was observed
by our field representative who logged and sampled the soils. The location of the
boring is shown on Figure 1 and graphic log of the boring is shown on Figure 2.
Bulk soil samples obtained during drilling were returned to our laboratory and
visually examined by the engineering geologist for this project. Laboratory testing
included natural moisture content and gradation. The results of the laboratory tests
are presented on Figure 3 and summarized in Table 1.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Our borings penetrated 12 feet of medium dense to very dense, sandy gravels.
Ground water was not encountered during drilling.
UTILITIES
We do not anticipate any utility installations requiring more than a shallow
trench excavation. If utility trenches greater than 3 feet deep are required for this
project, our office should be contacted to provide appropriate recommendations. For
the typical shallow trench excavations, sides will need to be sloped or braced. We
believe the soils penetrated by our borings are Type C as described in the
CITY OF FORT COLLINS - PARKS DEPARTMENT 2
LEGACY PARK SHELTER
CTL I T PROJECT NO. FC03844-125-B
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards governing
excavations published by the Department of Labor. The publication Indicates a
minimum slope of 1-1/2:1 (horizontal:vertical) for Type C soils above ground water
level. Soils removed from an excavation should not be stockpiled at the edge of the
excavation. We recommend the excavated soils be placed a distance from the edge
of the top of the excavation equal to at least the depth of the excavation. OSHA
regulations require bracing and/or slopes for excavations greater than 20 feet tall to
be designed by a Registered Professional Engineer.
Utility trenches should be backfilled using materials and criteria discussed In
the FOUNDATION section of this report.
FOUNDATION
The existing shelter foundations, floor, buried piping should be removed from
under the new building. The excavations resulting from removal of the existing
shelter should be backfilled with densely compacted, engineered fill.
We believe the proposed picnic shelter foundation can consist of a thickened
edge slab foundation bearing on the natural, undisturbed soil or well -compacted fill.
Any excavations made during the removal of the existing shelter should be filled and
well compacted. We recommend the following geotechnical criteria for the design of
footings. We would be pleased to send geotechnical design criteria for the other
alternatives considered if required.
1. Foundations should bear on the undisturbed natural soil or densely
compacted engineered fill and be designed fora maximum soil bearing
pressure of 2,000 psf. Where soils are loosened during excavation or
In the footing forming process, or if any loose or soft soils are
encountered at the footing level, the soils should be removed or
compacted. Engineered fill should be constructed with the onsite sand
or similar offsite sand. Imported fill soils should be non -expansive,
placed in 8-inch maximum loose lifts at 2 percent below optimum
moisture to 1 percent above optimum moisture content and be
compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum dry density (ASTM D698).
CITY OF FORT COLLINS - PARKS DEPARTMENT $
LEGACY PARK SHELTER
CTL IT PROJECT NO. FC03844-125-B

2. Thickened edges should have a minimum width of 12 inches.
Foundations for isolated columns should have minimum dimensions of
16 Inches by 16 Inches. Larger sizes may be required depending upon
the loads and structural system used. The structural engineer should
consider uplift resistance when sizing the footings.
3. If the owner deems the risk of frost heave to be unacceptable, the soil
below exterior footings should be protected from freezing. Normally, 3
feet of cover over footings is assumed In the area for protection from
freezing.
4. The completed foundation excavation should be observed by a
representative of our firm prior to placing the forms to verify the
subsurface conditions are those we anticipated from our borings and
that demolition activities did not adversely alter the subsurface
conditions. Engineered fill and backfill should be tested for
compaction. Each one -foot lift of compacted fill should be tested and
approved prior to placement of the footing forms. The owner's
representative should notify the testing agency at least 3 days in
advance to prepare moisture/density relationship tests (ASTM D698)
and schedule compaction testing.
CONCRETE SLAB -ON -GRADE FLOORS AND EXTERIOR FLATWORK
The onsite soils or similar non -expansive (maximum liquid limit of 30 and
maximum plasticity index of 15) offsite soils free of organic matter and other
deleterious materials can be used to construct the engineered fill under the floor.
We suggest the following recommendations for the slab -on -grade
construction:
1. Utilities that pass through the slab should be isolated from the slab.
2. A 4-inch thick layer of free -draining, reasonably well -graded sand and
gravel or gravel can be provided under the slab to prevent capillary
rise.
3. Frequent control joints should be provided in the slab to reduce
problems associated with shrinkage. The American Concrete Institute
(ACI) recommendations should be followed.
CITY OF FORT COLLINS - PARKS DEPARTMENT 4
LEGACY PARK SHELTER
CTL IT PROJECT NO. FC03844-125-B
4. Exterior concrete flatwork should be separated from any nearby
buildings. The slab should be reinforced. Movement of exterior slabs
should not be transmitted to any nearby foundations. Frequent control
joints should be provided according to the recommendations of the
ACI.
SURFACE DRAINAGE
Wetting of foundation soils always may cause some degree of volume change
In soils and should be prevented during and after construction. The risk of wetting
the foundation soils can be reduced by planned and maintained surface grading. We
recommend the following precautions be observed during construction, and that they
be maintained at all times after completion of the addition:
1. The ground surface surrounding the exterior of the structure should be
sloped to drain away from the structure in all directions.
2. Backfill around foundations should be on -site soils placed in thin lifts,
moisture conditioned to 2 percent below to 2 percent above optimum
moisture content and compacted to at least 90 percent of maximum dry
density (ASTM D 698). All backflll that supports pavement or sidewalks
should be compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum dry density
(ASTM D 698).
3. Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits
of all backfill. We recommend providing splash blocks at all
downspout locations. Concrete swales can be used to convey
concentrated water flows through paved areas to drains and gutters.
LIMITATIONS
One boring was drilled during this Investigation to obtain a reasonably
accurate picture of foundation soil conditions. Variations in the subsurface
conditions not indicated by our boring are possible. A representative of our firm
should observe the foundation excavations where spread footings are recommended
to confirm the exposed materials are as anticipated from our borings.

SCOPE
This report presents the results of our soils and foundation Investigation for
the proposed new picnic shelter at Buckingham Park in Fort Collins, Colorado (Figure
1). The purpose of this Investigation was to evaluate the subsurface conditions and
provide foundation recommendations for the proposed shelter.
This report was prepared from data developed during our field exploration,
laboratory testing, engineering analysis and experience with similar conditions. This
report sends our opinions, conclusions and recommendations for geotechnical
criteria for design and construction of foundations, a slab -on -grade floor, and
drainage precautions forthe proposed picnic shelter. A summary of our conclusions
and recommendations follows.
SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS
1. The borings penetrated 17% feet of sandy gravel with a 2 foot thick
layer of sandy clay near the surface. Claystone underlies the gravels at
17% feet. Ground water was encountered at 9% feet or greater.
2. In our opinion, the shelters can be founded with a thickened edge slab
on the natural soils or engineered fill.
3. Surface drainage should be designed, constructed and maintained to
provide rapid runoff of surface water away from the proposed picnic
shelter. Conservative irrigation practices should be followed to avoid
excessive wetting.
SITE CONDITIONS
Buckingham Park is located at the northwest comer of Lincoln Avenue and
First Street in northeast Fort Collins, Colorado. The existing picnic shelter is to be
demolished and replaced with the new shelter. The building site is relatively flat.
Ground cover in the area consisted of mature grass and trees.
CITY OF FORT COLLINS - PARKS DEPARTMENT 1
BUCKINGHAM PARK SHELTER
CTL I T PROJECT NO. FC038"-125-A
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
The site Included In this investigation is planned for a picnic shelter. We
understand that the picnic shelter will be a steel framed canopy over a thickened edge
slab -on -grade foundation. Foundation loads are expected to be column loads with
very low deadload. If final designs are different from our assumptions, we should be
advlsed so we can review our criteria.
INVESTIGATION
The field investigation for the proposed picnic shelter included drilling one
exploratory boring. The boring was drilled to a depth of 18 feet using a truck -
mounted drill with 4-inch diameter, continuous -flight augers. Drilling was observed
by our field representative who logged and sampled the soils. The location of the
boring is shown on Figure 1 and graphic log of the boring, Including results of field
penetration resistance tests are shown on Figure 2.
Soil samples obtained during drilling were returned to our laboratory and
visually examined by the engineering geologist for this project. Laboratory testing
included natural moisture content and gradation. The results of the laboratory tests
are presented on Figure 3 and summarized In Table 1.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Our borings penetrated 171/2 feet of medium dense to very dense, sandy gravel
with a 2 foot thick layer of loose sandy clay at 2 feet. Claystone underlies the gravels
at 17%feet. Ground water was encountered at 9%feet during drilling and at 10%feet
when checked several days later.

UTILITIES
We do not anticipate any utility installations requiring more than a shallow
trench excavation. If utility trenches greater than 3 feet deep are required for this
project, our office should be contacted to provide appropriate recommendations. For
the typical shallow trench excavations, sides will need to be sloped or braced. We
believe the soils penetrated by our borings are Type C as described in the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards governing
excavations published by the Department of Labor. The publication Indicates a
minimum slope of 1-1/2:1 (horizontal:vertical) for Type C soils above ground water
level. Soils removed from an excavation should not be stockpiled at the edge of the
excavation. We recommend the excavated soils be placed a distance from the edge
of the top of the excavation equal to at least the depth of the excavation. OSHA
regulations require bracing and/or slopes for excavations greater than 20 feet tall to
be designed by a Registered Professional Engineer.
Utility trenches should be backfilled using materials and criteria discussed In
the FOUNDATION section of this report.
FOUNDATION
The existing shelter foundations, floor, buried piping should be removed from
under the new building. The excavations resulting from removal of the existing
shelter should be backfilled with densely compacted, engineered fill.
We believe the proposed picnic shelter foundation can consist of a thickened
edge slab foundation bearing on the natural, undisturbed soil or well -compacted fill.
Any excavations made during the removal of the existing shelter should be filled and
well compacted. We recommend the following geotechnical criteria for the design of
footings. We would be pleased to send geotechnical design criteria for the other
alternatives considered if required.

1. Foundations should bear on the undisturbed natural soil or densely
compacted engineered fill and be designed for a maximum soil bearing
pressure of 2,000 psf. Where soils are loosened during excavation or
in the footing forming process, or if any loose or soft soils are
encountered at the footing level, the soils should be removed or
compacted. Engineered fill should be constructed with the onsite sand
or similar offsite sand. Imported fill soils should be non -expansive,
placed in 8-inch maximum loose lifts at 2 percent below optimum
moisture to 1 percent above optimum moisture content and be
compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum dry density (ASTM D698).
2. Thickened edges should have a minimum width of 12 inches.
Foundations for isolated columns should have minimum dimensions of
16 inches by 16 inches. Larger sizes may be required depending upon
the loads and structural system used. The structural engineer should
consider uplift resistance when sizing the footings.
3. If the owner deems the risk of frost heave to be unacceptable, the soil
below exterior footings should be protected from freezing. Normally, 3
feet of cover over footings is assumed in the area for protection from
freezing.
4. The completed foundation excavation should be observed by a
representative of our firm prior to placing the forms to verify the
subsurface conditions are those we anticipated from our borings and
that demolition activities did not adversely alter the subsurface
conditions. Engineered fill and backfill should be tested for
compaction. Each one -foot lift of compacted fill should be tested and
approved prior to placement of the footing forms. The owner's
representative should notify the testing agency at least 3 days In
advance to prepare moistureldensity relationship tests (ASTM D698)
and schedule compaction testing.
CONCRETE SLAB -ON -GRADE FLOORS AND EXTERIOR FLATWORK
The onsite soils or similar non -expansive (maximum liquid limit of 30 and
maximum plasticity index of 15) offsite soils free of organic matter and other
deleterious materials can be used to construct the engineered fill under the floor.
We suggest the following recommendations for the slab -on -grade
construction:
1. Utilities that pass through the slab should be isolated from the slab.
CITY OF FORT COLLINS - PARKS DEPARTMENT 4
BUCKINGHAM PARK SHELTER
CTL IT PROJECT NO. FC03844-125-A
IF
2. A 4-inch thick layer of free -draining, reasonably well -graded sand and
gravel or gravel can be provided under the slab to prevent capillary
rise.
3. Frequent control joints should be provided in the slab to reduce
problems associated with shrinkage. The American Concrete Institute
(ACI) recommendations should be followed.
4. Exterior concrete flatwork should be separated from any nearby
buildings. The slab should be reinforced. Movement of exterior slabs
should not be transmitted to any nearby foundations. Frequent control
joints should be provided according to the recommendations of the
ACI.
SURFACE DRAINAGE
Wetting of foundation soils always may cause some degree of volume change
In soils and should be prevented during and after construction. The risk of wetting
the foundation soils can be reduced by planned and maintained surface grading. We
recommend the following precautions be observed during construction, and that they
be maintained at all times after completion of the addition:
1. The ground surface surrounding the exterior of the structure should be
sloped to drain away from the structure In all directions.
2. Backfill around foundations should be on -site soils placed in thin lifts,
moisture conditioned to 2 percent below to 2 percent above optimum
moisture content and compacted to at least 90 percent of maximum dry
density (ASTM D 698). All backfill that supports pavement or sidewalks
should be compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum dry density
(ASTM D 698).
3. Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits
of all backfill. We recommend providing splash blocks at all
downspout locations. Concrete swales can be used to convey
concentrated water flows through paved areas to drains and gutters.
LIMITATIONS
One boring was drilled during this investigation to obtain a reasonably
accurate picture of foundation soil conditions. Variations in the subsurface
conditions not indicated by our boring are possible. A representative of our firm
CITY OF FORT COLLINS - PARKS DEPARTMENT
BUCKINGHAM PARK SHELTER
CTL I T PROJECT NO. FC03W-125-A
should observe the foundation excavations where spread footings are recommended
to confirm the exposed materials are as anticipated from our borings.
We believe this investigation was conducted with that level of skill and care
ordinarily used by geotechnical engineers practicing in this area at this time. No
warranty, express or implied, is made. If we can be of further service in discussing
the contents of this report or in the analysis of the Influence of subsoil conditions on
design of the structures, please call.
