EJCDC GENERAL CONDITIONS 1910-8 (1990 Edidm)
w/ CITY OF FORT COLLINS MODIFICATIONS (REV 42000)
recommendation of payment and present the Application
to OWNER, or return the Application to CONTRACTOR
indicating in writing ENGINEER's reasons for refusing to
recommend payment. In the latter case, CONTRACTOR
may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the
Application. Ten days after presentation of the
Application for Payment to OWNER with ENGINEEWs
recommendation, the amount recommended will (subject
to the provisions of the last sentence of paragraph 14.7)
become due and when due will be paid by OWNER to
CONTRACTOR
14.5. ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment
requested in an Application for Payment will constitute a
representation by ENGINEER to OWNER, based on
ENGINEER's on -site observations of the executed Work
as an experienced and qualified design professional and on
ENGINEER's review of the Application for Payment and
the accompanying data and schedules, that to the best of
ENGINEER's knowledge; information and belief.
14.5.1. the Work has progressed to the point
indicated,
14.5.2. the quality of the Work is generally in
accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to
an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole
prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the results
of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract
Documents, to a fatal determination of quantities and
classifications for Unit Price Work under
paragraph 9.10, and to any other qualifications stated
in the recommendation), and
14.5.3. the conditions precedent to
CONTRACTOR's being entitled to such payment
appear to have been fulfilled insofar as it is
ENGINEER's responsibility to observe the Work.
However, by recommending any such payment
ENGINEER will not thereby be deemed to have
represented that: (i) exhaustive or continuous on -site
inspections have been made to check the quality or the
quantity of the Work beyond the responsibilities
specifically assigned to ENGINEER in the Contract
Documents or (n) that there may riot be other matters or
issues between the parties that might entitle
CONTRACTOR to be paid additionally by OWNER or
entitle OWNER to withhold payment to CONTRACTOR.
14.6. ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment,
including final payment, shall not mean that ENGINEER
is responsible for CONTRACTOR's means, methods,
techniques, sequences or procedures of construction, or
the safety precautions and programs incident thereto, or
for any failure of CONTRACTOR to comply with Laws
and Regulations applicable to the furnishing or
performance of Work, or for any failure of
CONTRACTOR to perform or furnish Work in
accordance with the Contract Documents.
14.7. ENGINEER may refuse to recommend the whole
or any part of any payment if, in ENGINEER's opinion, it
would be incorrect to make the representations to
29
OWNER referred to in paragraph 14.5. ENGINEER may
also refuse to recommend any such payment, or, because of
subsequently discovered evidence or the results of
subsequent inspections or tests, nullify any such payment
previously recommended, to such extent as may be
necessary in ENGINEERS opinion to protect OWNER
from loss because:
14.7.1. the Work is defective, or completed Work has
been damaged requiring correction or replacement,
14.7.2. the Contract Price has been reduced by
Written Amendment or Change Order,
14.7.3. OWNER has been required to correct
defective Work or complete Work in accordance with
paragraph 13.14, or
14.7.4. ENGINEER has actual knowledge of the
occurrence of any of the events enumerated in
paragraphs 15.2.1 through 15.2.4 inclusive.
OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount
recommended by ENGINEER because:
14.7.5. claims have been made against OWNER on
account of CONTRACTOR's perfomiance or furnishing
of the Work,
14.7.6. Liens have been filed in connection with the
Work, except where CONTRACTOR has delivered a
specific Bond satisfactory to OWNER to secure the
satisfaction and discharge of such Liens,
14.7.7. there are other items entitling OWNER to a set-
off against the amount recommended, or
14.7.8. OWNER has actual knowledge of the
occurrence of any of the events enumerated in
paragraphs 14.7.1 through 14.7.3 or paragraphs 15.2.1
through 15.2.4 inclusive;
but OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate
written notice (with a copy to ENGINEER) stating the
reasons for such action and promptly pay CONTRACTOR
the amount so withheld, or any adjustment thereto agreed
to by OWNER and CONTRACTOR, when
CONTRACTOR corrects to OWNER's satisfaction the
reasons for such action.
Substantial Completion:
14.8. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work
ready for its intended use CONTRACTOR shall notify
OWNER and ENGINEER in writing that the entire Work
is substantially complete (except for items specifically
listed by CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and request that
ENGINEER issue a certificate of Substantial Completion.
Within a reasonable time thereafter, OWNER,
CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspection
of the Work to determine the status of completion. If
ENGINEER does not consider the Work substantially
complete, ENGINEER will notify CONTRACTOR in
writing giving the reasons therefor. If ENGINEER
30 E1CDC GENERAL CONDITIONS 1910-8 (1990 Edition)
w/ CITY OF FORT COLLINS MODIFICATIONS (REV 42000)
considers the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER
will prepare and deliver to OWNER a tentative certificate
of Substantial Completion which shall fix the date of
Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the
certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or
corrected before final payment OWNER shall have seven
days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which
to make written objection to ENGINEER as to any
provisions of the certificate or attached list. If, after
considering such objections, ENGINEER concludes that
the Work is not substantially complete, ENGINEER will
within fourteen days after submission of the tentative
certificate to OWNER notify CONTRACTOR in writing,
stating the reasons therefor. If, after consideration of
OWNER's objections, ENGINEER considers the Work
substantially complete, ENGINEER will within said
fourteen days execute and deliver to OWNER and
CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of Substantial
Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be
completed or corrected) reflecting such changes from the
tentative certificate as ENGINEER believes justified after
consideration of any objections from OWNER. At the
time of delivery of the tentative certificate of Substantial
Completion ENGINEER will deliver to OWNER and
CONTRACTOR a written recommendation as to division
of responsibilities pending final payment between
OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security,
operation, safety, maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance
and warranties and guarantees. Unless OWNER and
CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in writing and so inform
ENGINEER in writing prior to ENGINEER's issuing the
definitive certificate of Substantial Completion,
ENGINEER's aforesaid recommendation will be binding
on OWNER and CONTRACTOR until final payment.
14.9. OWNER shall have the right to exclude
CONTRACTOR from the Wok after the date of
Substantial Completion, but OWNER shall allow
CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct
items on the tentative list

purpose without significant interference with
CONTRACTOR's performance of the remainder of the
Work, may be accomplished prior to Substantial
Completion of all the Work subject to the following:
14.10.].OWNER at any time may request
CONTRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to use
any such part of the Work which OWNER believes to
be ready for its intended use and substantially

component, electrical characteristics, and operation of component materials and devices; the
external connections, anchorages, and supports required; the dimensions needed for installation
and correlation with other materials and equipment.
Certified drawings only shall be submitted unless a requirement for preliminary drawings is
specifically stated in the drawing submittal schedule. Such requirement shall not preclude the
Contractor from submitting certified drawings in lieu of preliminary drawings.
"Preliminary" drawings shall mean drawings not fully completed or approved by the Contractor;
however, they shall be reasonably complete and suitable for the Owner's use in establishing basic
plant arrangements and design requirements. Preliminary drawings shall be clearly stamped
"Preliminary." Preliminary drawings will not be reviewed by the Owner; however, the Owner
will advise the Contractor of any discrepancies or conflicts which he may discover in the

materials until the drawings and data, therefore, have been reviewed by the Owner except at the
Contractor's own risk and responsibility.
Drawings reviewed by the Owner will be returned to the Contractor marked RETURNED FOR
CORRECTION, EXCEPTIONS NOTED, NO EXCEPTIONS NOTED, or RECEIVED FOR
DISTRIBUTION. The Contractor shall make all required corrections to the drawings and
resubmit the required number of prints to the Owner no later than the date indicated in the
Owner's drawing transmittal letter. Each time a drawing is revised an appropriate revision
number and note shall be added to that drawing.
RETURNED FOR CORRECTION (RFC) means that the drawing must be revised in accordance
with the Owner's notations and all work represented by the drawing must cease until the revised

17.1. OWNER reserves the right to reject any and all Bids, to waive any
and all informalities not involving price, time or changes in the Work,
to negotiate contract terms with the Successful Bidder, and the right to
disregard all nonconforming, nonresponsive, unbalanced or conditional
Bids. Also, OWNER reserves the right to reject the Bid of any Bidder if
OWNER believes that it would not be in the best interest of the Project
to make an award to that Bidder, whether because the Bid is not
responsive or the Bidder is unqualified or of doubtful financial ability
or fails to meet any other pertinent standard or criteria established by
OWNER. Discrepancies between the indicated sum of any column of figures
and the correct sum thereof will be resolved in favor of the correct sum.
17.2. In evaluating Bids, OWNER will consider the qualifications of the
Bidders, whether or not the Bids comply with the prescribed requirements,
and such alternates, unit prices and other data, as may be requested in
the Bid Form or prior to the Notice of Award.
17.3. OWNER may consider the qualification and experience of
Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other persons and organizations proposed
for those portions of the Work as to which the identity of
Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other persons and organizations is
submitted as requested by OWNER. OWNER also may consider the operating
costs, maintenance requirements, performance data and guarantees of major
items of materials and equipment proposed for incorporation in the Work
when such data is required to be submitted prior to the Notice of Award.
17.4. OWNER may conduct such investigations as OWNER deems necessary to
assist in the evaluation of any Bid and to establish the responsibility,
qualifications and financial ability of the Bidder's proposed
Subcontractors, Suppliers and other persons and organizations to do the
Work in accordance with the Contract Documents to OWNER's satisfaction
within the prescribed time.
17.5. If the Contract is to be awarded, it will be awarded to the lowest
responsive and responsible Bidder whose evaluation by OWNER indicates to
OWNER that the award will be in the best interest of the OWNER. Award

case of more than one schedule, for sum of all schedules. Only one
contract will be awarded.
17.6. If the Contract is to be awarded, OWNER will give the Successful
Bidder a Notice of Award within forty-five (45) days after the date of
the Bid opening.

straight edge. The deviation for other surfaces shall not exceed 1/4 inch in 10 feet.
Surfaces designated on the drawings and the exposed top surfaces of equipment bases shall be
steel trowel finished. Troweling shall be performed after the second floating when the surface
has hardened sufficiently to prevent an excess of cement being drawn to the surface. Troweling
shall produce a dense, smooth, uniform surface free from blemishes and trowel marks.
2C.5.12 Curing
Concrete shall be protected from loss of moisture for at least 7 days by membrane curing
compound. Membrane curing compound shall be applied at twice the rate recommended by the
manufacturer. Concrete shall not be permitted to freeze for at least 7 days following placement.

City of Fort Collins Power & Light-06.007 2C-11
2C.6 DRILLED PIERS
2C.6.1 General
This section covers the requirements for drilling of earth and placing of concrete for foundation
piers. Pier installation shall follow the requirements of ACI 336.1, Reference Specifications for
the Construction of Drilled Piers.
2C.6.2 Drilling
Foundation piers shall be drilled with an auger in earth and with an auger with hardened teeth
suitable for drilling rock or a core drill as required depending on hardness. Casings shall be used
where the sides of the excavation are unstable and may be used at all locations. A pier
excavation will be considered dry if the infiltration of ground water from a source at or near the
bottom is at a rate of less than 1/2 inch rise per minute at the bottom of the pier. The total
theoretical height of water in the bottom of the pier may not exceed 6 inches at the time
sufficient concrete has been placed to balance the water head.
Drilling equipment shall be designed to drill straight and clean holes. Casings, if used, shall be
installed as the drilling proceeds or immediately after the auger is withdrawn as required to
prevent sloughing and caving of the excavation walls. The Contractor may elect to advance the
excavation and facilitate the removal of cuttings by utilizing a densified fluid. All loose material
shall be removed from the bottom of the pier excavations.
Casings shall be of steel construction and shall be of ample strength to withstand handling and
installation stresses. Casings may be removed as the concrete is placed or left in place at the
Contractor's option. During removal the casing shall be continually plumb and the concrete
surface within the casing shall be continually observed for maintenance of concrete "head"
sufficient to offset the casing's external water head. A minimum head of 4 to 5 feet of concrete
shall be maintained above the bottom of the casing during casing extraction. Casings left in
place shall not be exposed above grade.
Each pier shall be accurately located, sized, and plumbed. The maximum variation of any pier
from its designated location shall not be more than 2 inches at its top elevation. No pier shall be
out of plumb more than one inch in 5 feet of height. Variation of pier location within specified
limits shall not be cause for variation in anchor bolt or concrete cap location.
Each pier excavation shall be made to the depth indicated on the drawings.
2C.6.3 Placing of Concrete
Concrete work for foundation piers shall conform to the requirements of Section 2C.5 and to
these additional requirements. Unless otherwise permitted by the Owner, concrete shall be
placed in the pier holes the same day the holes are drilled.
City of Fort Collins Power & Light-06.007 2C-12
All water and loose materials shall be removed from the holes and pier reinforcing shall be
thoroughly cleaned before any concrete is placed. Pier holes shall be dry when concrete is
placed unless otherwise acceptable to the Owner.
Concrete shall be placed with a tremie or funnel, or pumped to prevent segregation and the top 6
feet shall be rodded or vibrated to provide a dense mass free of voids. During the filling of the
holes, if water begins to accumulate on the top of the concrete, the placement shall be suspended
and the water removed before placement resumes. If water continues to accumulate during the
suspension of placement, the concrete placed shall be removed and the pier shall be installed by
underwater methods. Should there be an accumulation of scum or laitance on the top of the
concrete, it shall be removed and additional concrete shall be placed to bring the pier back to the
proper elevation.
Pumping methods shall conform to ACI 304, Chapter 9. The maximum loss of slump due to
pumping shall be 2 inches. Aluminum or aluminum alloy pipes shall not be used to convey
pumped concrete.
After the concreting is started for each pier, it shall be completed in a continuous process. A
sufficient quantity of concrete to fill the pier shall be in delivery trucks at the pier site when the
first concrete is placed in each pier. If the concreting of any pier is suspended for more than 30
minutes before the pier is completed, laitance and water shall be removed from the joint surface
and the joint surface shall be coated with epoxy bonding compound before concreting is
resumed. In order to provide for an emergency stoppage, bonding compound shall be at the site
before the concreting of piers is started.
Piers shall be reinforced as indicated on the drawings and all reinforcements shall be installed
and secured to prevent shifting during the placement of concrete. The upper portion of the piers
shall be formed where indicated on the drawings. Each pier shall be cured for at least 7 days by
continuous saturation with water or the use of membrane curing compound as specified in
Section 2C.5.12.
If casings are to be left in place, the void areas between the form and the excavation walls shall
be filled with grout. The grout shall be placed and compacted in such a manner that the annular
space is completely filled.
Records shall be kept by the Contractor indicating the exact volume of each pier excavated and
this volume shall then be compared to the volume of concrete actually placed in each pier. A
lesser amount of concrete placed than calculated may indicate fault pier construction. In the
event of such an occurrence, the Owner shall be notified, and immediate remedial action shall
then be taken by the Contractor.
City of Fort Collins Power & Light-06.007 2C-13
2C.6.4 Underwater Concrete
Concrete shall not be deposited under water except with specific permission of the Owner. For
concrete deposited under water the limiting requirements shall be adjusted to provide not more
than 6 inches of slump and to increase the cement content by one sack per cubic yard. Any extra
charges for these changes by the concrete supplier shall be borne by the Contractor.
Underwater concrete shall be placed through 12 inch or larger tremies having a tremie seal at the
lower end and a hopper at the upper end. Before the flow of concrete is started, water shall be
kept out of the tremie by means of a suitable bottom closure. After the flow of concrete is
started, the lower end of the tremie shall be kept below the surface of the deposited concrete.
Agitation of the deposited concrete shall be avoided. When necessary to move laterally, the
tremie shall be lifted free of the concrete and lowered vertically at the new location. The entire
mass of concrete shall be placed as quickly as possible so that it will flow into place without the
necessity of horizontal shifting below water.
The water shall be quiescent when concrete is deposited therein. After placing, the ground water
level in the area adjacent to the pier shall be kept static until the concrete has taken its initial set.
2C.7 GROUTING
2C.7.1 General
This section covers materials and procedures for grouting equipment and structural base plates as
required on the drawings.
Grouting under these specifications shall include only the grouting of equipment and structural
base plates installed under these specifications. Grouting of all other equipment and structural
base plates will be done under separate specifications covering the equipment or base plate
installation.
All grouting shall be done with non -shrinking grout.
Cold weather grouting shall be as specified for cold weather concreting in Section 2C.5.5.5.
2C.7.2 Materials
Where the use of the following materials is specified herein, such materials shall be in
accordance with these requirements:
Water
Clean and free from mud, oil, organic
matter, and other deleterious substances
City of Fort Collins Power & Light-06.007 2C-14
Plasticizer Grace "WRDA," Master Builders "Pozzolith
Normal," Protex "PDA 25XL Normal Set,"
or Sika Chemical "Plastocrete 161"
Nonshrinking grout Tested in accordance with CRD-C621 and
ASTM C1107, Grade B. Metallic and
nongas-liberating flowable fluid. Minimum
strength of grout, 4,000 psi at 1 day, and
9,000 psi at 28 days.
2C.7.3 Grouting of Bases for Structures and Equipment
Where noted on the drawings, equipment and structural base plates shall be firmly and solidly
grouted in place by methods that will insure complete, uniform, and permanent filling of all
space beneath the base without disturbing or displacing the alignment or level of the base in its
correct position. Should the installation of any equipment be done under the supervision and
direction of a manufacturer's erection superintendent, or other accredited supervisor provided by
the manufacturer of the equipment, then the grouting procedure shall follow his direction.
Otherwise, these specifications shall govern.
2C.7.3.1 Surface Preparation
The surfaces of hardened concrete upon which grout will be placed shall be chipped to remove
laitance and surface mortar and to expose the aggregate. The surface of the hardened concrete
shall be cleaned of all loose materials and shall be saturated with water for not less than 2 hours
immediately before the grout is placed. All excess water shall be removed.
2C.7.3.2 Alignment and Leveling
Each base shall be set in place over its anchor bolts and shall be carefully aligned in proper
position and then brought to accurate level. If permission is given by the Owner in the case of
small bases or equipment bases, steel wedges may be used for leveling, but such wedges shall
be of a type that cannot be easily or accidentally dislodged. Unless otherwise accepted, leveling
shall have three-point control. The use of wood blocking or wood wedges to hold the base in
position will not be permitted.
2C.7.3.3 This Section Not Used
2C.7.3.4 Placing of Grout
After the base has been set, its alignment and level shall be checked and accepted before placing
any grout. Grout may be placed by the "dry pack" method when the least dimension of the base
being grouted is T-0" or less, the grout space is more than one inch, and the grout space is
readily accessible, unless noted otherwise. Dry pack grout shall contain only enough water to
produce a grout which can be tamped in place. Grout shall be tamped in place from one of the
City of Fort Collins Power & Light-06.007 2C-15
longer sides of the base, working against a backing board rigidly wedged against the opposite
side of the base. Tamping shall be done with the end of a board at least 1 by 4 inches in
nominal size. The board shall be struck with a hammer or mallet as required to compact the
grout into a dense mass, free from voids. After the initial set of the grout, all grout which
extends beyond the edge of the base shall be cut off flush and removed.
2C.7.3.5 Finishing of Edges
When the placing of the grout has been completed, it shall be allowed to stand undisturbed until
set stiff. Then immediately the form or dam, if any, shall be taken off, and the portions of the
grout which extend beyond the edges of the base shall be cut off flush and removed. The edges
of the grout shall then be pointed with fresh one -to -two cement mortar pressed firmly to bond
with the body of the grout, and smoothed with a tool to present a smooth vertical surface.
All grouting shall be completed in a proper and workmanlike manner with the exposed edges of
the foundation and the surfaces adjacent thereto left clean and free from cement and grout.
2C.7.4 Nonshrinking Grout
Nonshrinking grout shall be furnished factory premixed so that only water is added at the
jobsite. The grout shall be mixed in a mechanical mixer and no more water shall be used than
recommended by the manufacturer to produce a flowable grout.
Surface preparation and alignment and leveling shall be as specified herein before for portland
cement grout. Nonshrinking grout shall be placed in strict accordance with the grout
manufacturer's directions so that all grout space is completely filled without voids. Edges shall
be finished as specified for portland cement grout.
2C.7.5 Curing
All grout shall be protected against rapid loss of water by covering with wet rags and
polyethylene. After edge finishing is completed, the grout shall be wet cured for at least 7 days
when temperatures of 90' F or above may be expected during curing, special procedures shall
be adopted by the Contractor to keep the grout as cool as possible. In cold weather, the
requirements of Section 2C.5.5.5 shall be followed.
2C.8 TESTING
An air content test shall be made from one of the first three batches mixed each day and from
each batch of concrete from which concrete compression test cylinders are made. Air content
shall be made in accordance with ASTM C231. Slump shall be determined in accordance with
ASTM C143.
Concrete compression test cylinders shall be taken as determined by the Owner. Each set of
compression test cylinders shall be marked or tagged with the date and time of day the cylinders
City of Fort Collins Power & Light-06.007 2C-16
were made, the location, the work where the concrete represented by the cylinders was placed,
the delivery truck or batch number, the air content, and the slump. The cylinders shall be tested
at 7 days and 28 days.
The concrete test cylinders and all field control field testing shall be made by an independent
testing laboratory retained and paid by the Owner. The Contractor shall cooperate with the
testing laboratory representative.

PERTINENT INFORMATION
ABOUT YOUR
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION REPORT
Many construction problems are caused by
site subsurface conditions. As troublesome as
subsurface problems can be, their frequency
and extent may be. lessened considerably.
The following suggestions and observations
are offered to help you reduce the
geotechnically related delays, cost overruns,
and other costly headaches that can occur
during a construction project.
A GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING
REPORT IS BASED UPON A UNIQUE
SET OF PROJECT SPECIFIC FACTORS.
A geotechnical engineering report is based on
a subsurface exploration plan designed to
investigate a unique set of -project specific
factors. These typically include: (1) the
general nature of the structures involved, (2)
the structures' sizes and configurations, (3)
the locations and orientation of the structures
on the site, (4) additional entities such as
access roads, parking lots, and underground
utilities, and (5) the level of additional risk
which the client assumed by virtue of
limitations imposed upon the exploratory
program. To help avoid costly problems,
consult a qualified geotechnical engineer to
determine how any factors which change
subsequent to the date of the report may affect
its recommendations.
Unless your consulting geotechnical engineer
indicates otherwise, your geotechnical
engineering report should not be used:
• When the nature of the proposed structure
is changed
• When the size or configuration of the
proposed structure is changed significantly
• When the location or orientation of the
proposed structure is modified
MOST GEOTECHNICAL "FINDINGS"
ARE PROFESSIONAL ESTIMATES.
Site exploration identifies actual subsurface
conditions only at those points where samples
are taken at the time of sampling. Data
derived through sampling and subsequent
laboratory testing is extrapolated by
geotechnical engineers who then render an
opinion about overall subsurface conditions,
their likely reaction to proposed construction
activity, and appropriate foundation design.
Even under optimal circumstances actual
conditions may differ from those inferred to
exist, because even the most qualified
geotechnical engineer and the most extensive
subsurface exploration program cannot reveal
what is hidden by earth and rock. The actual
interface between materials may be far more
gradual or abrupt than a report indicates.
Actual conditions in areas not sampled may
differ from predictions. Nothing can be done
to prevent the unanticipated, but steps can be
taken to help minimize their impact. For this
reason, most experienced owners retain their
geotechnical consultants throughout the
construction stage to identify variances, to
conduct additional tests which may be needed,
and to recommend solutions to problems
encountered on site.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS CAN
CHANGE.
Subsurface conditions may be modified by
natural or man made forces. Because a
geotechnical engineering report is based on
conditions which existed at the time of the
subsurface exploration. Construction decisions
should not be based on a geotechnical
engineering report whose adequacy may have
been affected by natural or man made forces.
J
�i
Speak with the geotechnical consultant to
learn if additional tests are advisable before
construction starts. Construction operations at
or adjacent to the site, and natural events such
as floods, earthquakes, or groundwater
fluctuations will affect subsurface conditions
and thus affect the adequacy of the
geotechnical report. The geotechnical
engineer should be consulted on any such
events to determine if additional tests are
necessary.
GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES ARE
PERFORMED FOR SPECIFIC
PURPOSES AND PERSONS.
Geotechnical engineers' reports are prepared
to meet the specific needs of specific
individuals. A report prepared for a
consulting civil engineer may not be adequate
for a construction contractor or even some
other consulting civil engineer. Unless
indicated otherwise, this report was prepared
expressly for the client involved and expressly
for purposes indicated by the client. Use by
any other persons for any purpose, or by the
client for a different purpose, may result in
problems. No individual other than the client
should apply this report for its intended
purpose without first consulting with a
qualified geotechnical engineer. No person
should apply this reportfor any purpose other
than that for which it was initially intended
without first conferring with a geotechnical
engineer.
A GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING
REPORT IS SUBJECT TO
MISINTERPRETATION.
Costly problems can occur when other design
professionals develop their plans based on
misinterpretations of a geotechnical
engineering report. To help avoid these
problems, a geotechnicaI engineer should be
retained to work with other appropriate design
professionals to explain relevant geotechnical
findings and to review the adequacy of their
plans and specifications relative to
,geotechnical issues.
BORING LOGS SHOULD NOT BE
SEPARATED FROM THE
ENGINEERING REPORT.
Final boring logs are developed by
geotechnical engineers based on their
interpretation of their field logs and laboratory
evaluation of field samples. Only final boring
logs customarily are included in geotechnical
reports. These logs should not be reproduced
for inclusion in architectural or other drawings
because drafters may commit errors or
omissions in the transfer process. Although
photocopy reproduction eliminates this
problem, it does nothing to minimize the
possibility of contractors misinterpreting the
logs during bid preparation. When this
occurs, delays, disputes, and unanticipated
costs may result. To minimise the likelihood
of boring log misinterpretation, give
contractors ready access to the complete
geotechnical engineering report prepared for
the project. Those who do not provide such
access may proceed under the mistaken
impression that simply disclaiming
responsibility for the accuracy of subsurface
information always insulates them from
attendant liability. Providing the best
available information to contractors helps to
prevent costly construction problems which
may occur.
OTHER STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO
REDUCE RISK.
Your consulting geotechnical engineer will be
pleased to discuss other techniques which can
be employed to minimize any risk. In
addition, many engineering organizations have
developed a variety of materials which may
be beneficial.

A.1 PROJECT INFORMATION
A. INTRODUCTION
This report summarizes the subsurface investigations, laboratory testing, conclusions, and recommendations as
-� prepared by SMITH GEOTECHNICAL for the proposed addition of lightning towers to the.
A.2 SCOPE OF SERVICE
The scope of service for this subsurface exploration is limited to:
Advancement of three (3) borings, one at each of the three sites, for the purpose of gathering
samples and data on soil, rock, and depth to groundwater:
2. Visual classification of samples obtained.
3. Laboratory testing of samples.
4. Engineering recommendations.
A.3 SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The sites investigated are for the proposed addition of lightning towers to the existing Harmony, Overland
Trail, and Linden Electrical Substations in Fort Collins, Colorado. The substations are located in commercial
areas within the city limits of Fort Collins, and are in existing substations with existing electrical equipment in
i place. The sites are generally flat with a layer of gravel across the site, with no trees or shrubbery on the sites.
The sites are at an approximate elevation of 5,000 feet above sea level. A map is included in Appendix A
1 which shows the site locations.
A.4 REPORT FORMAT
The purpose of this report is to present field observations and visual classification of soils, summarize
laboratory results, and provide engineering recommendations. Provided in Appendix A to this report are the
Boring Location Plans showing boring locations with respect to existing and proposed features. Appendix B
contains Boring Logs showing the type and depth of soil changes and water table locations along with soil
classification information and definitions of terms and symbols. Appendix C contains laboratory test results.
I
B. EXPLORATION RESULTS
BA SCOPE OF EXPLORATION
The fieldwork, conducted on April 13'', 2006 consisted of inspecting and sampling one (1) boring per each of
the three substations, numbered BH-1. The boring where advanced to depths ranging from twenty-five (25)
feet to thirty (30) feet below grade. Borings for all three sites were advanced for the purpose of gathering
subsurface data and soil samples.
B.2 SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION PROCEDURES
The borings were advanced with a Central Mine and Equipment (CME) 75 truck mounted drill rig with a 4"
continuous flight auger. Samples were recovered from the boring for visual classification (ASTM D-2488) in
the field and for future laboratory testing.
Disturbed soil sampling was performed in accordance with ASTM D-1586, Standard Penetration Test (SPT).
Using this procedure, a 2-inch outside diameter split -barrel sampler was driven into the soil by successive
blows of a 140-pound weight falling 30 inches. After an initial set of 6 inches, the number of blows required
to drive the sampler an additional 12 inches was recorded as the "penetration resistance" or "N-value". The N-
value is an index of the relative density of cohesionless soils and the consistency of cohesive soils.
i Samples were obtained using a California Sampler that consists of a 2-1/2-inch outside diameter barrel with 2-
inch diameter internal brass liners. This sampler is driven into the soil in a similar manner as the split -barrel
sampler by successive blows of a 140-pound weight falling 30 inches in accordance with ASTM D-1586.
As the samples were obtained in the field, personnel from SMITH GEOTECHNICAL visually classified them.
Representative portions of the samples were then returned to the laboratory for further examination and
verification of field classification. Boring logs, indicating the depth and identification of the various strata, and
water level information are included in the appendix. Charts illustrating the soil classification procedure, and
descriptive terminology and symbols on the Boring Logs are also included in the appendix.
B.3 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The subsurface conditions encountered in the borings have been used to infer the general soil conditions at
the site. We assume the soil conditions between borings are fairly represented by the borings. During
construction, if conditions are encountered other than those described below and as shown on the Borings
Logs included in the appendix to this report, it is important that a geotechnical engineer be informed to
evaluate the exposed conditions with respect to their effect on our recommendations.
The following is a brief review of the various layers of soil encountered for the different project areas. All
depths given are relative to the ground surface at the time of drilling. Please refer to the boring logs in
Appendix B and the laboratory test results in Appendix C for a more complete description of soil conditions at
each boring location.
I
j General Description of Subsurface Conditions
HARMONY SUBSTATION:
CLAY: Clay was found from below the gravel base layer to approximately nineteen (19) feet below
grade at the Harmony Substation. The clay was generally tan to brown in color, moist, stiff, plastic, and
has fine grained sand throughout. The soil has a low potential for swell with a swell pressure measured
at approximately 1780 psf with 0.3% volume change.
SAND: Sand was encountered below the overburden clay and extended to an approximate depth of
twenty seven (27) feet below grade. The sand is tan in color, wet, medium to very dense, fine to coarse
grained, well graded, and is mixed with clay
CLAYSTONE: Claystone was encountered below the sand layer and extends to the extents of the
boring at thirty (30) feet. The claystone is tan to mottled brown, moist, soft, severely weathered, plastic,
and interbedded with fine grained sand. The claystone has a high swell potential with a swell pressure
measured at approximately 15,232 psf with 3.3% volume change.
OVERLAND TRAIL SUBSTATION:
CLAY: Clay was found from below the gravel base layer to approximately seven (7) feet below grade
at the Overland Trail Substation. The clay was generally brown in color, moist, stiff to very stiff, and
plastic. The clay has low to moderate swell potential with a swell pressure measured at approximately
4,512 psf with 1.1% volume change.
SAND: Sand was encountered below the overburden clay and extended to an approximate depth of
twenty (20) feet below grade. The sand is tan in color, wet, loose to medium dense, fine to coarse
grained, with sub angular gravel to 3/8", and is mixed with clay.
CLAYSTONE: Claystone was encountered below the sand layer and extends to the extents of the
boring at twenty five (25) feet. The claystone is brown, moist, soft, severely weathered, plastic, and
interbedded with fine grained sand. The claystone has a high swell potential with a swell pressure
measured at approximately 12,737 psf with 2.2% volume change.
LINDEN SUBSTATION:
FILL: Fill was found from below the gravel base layer to approximately nine (9) feet in depth below
grade. The fill was highly organic material consisting predominantly of coal and hydrated lime slag.
The fill was very soft with low penetration resistance and can not be used as support of any type of
foundation.
Sandy GRAVEL: Sandy gravel was encountered below the layer of fill and extends to a depth of
approximately twenty (20) feet below grade. The gravel is brown in color, wet, dense to very dense,
subangular, with cobbles and fine to coarse grained sand.
SANDSTONE: Sandstone was encountered below the gravel layer and extends to the extents of the
boring at twenty six and one half (26.5) feet. The sandstone is tan in color, moist, very soft, complete to
severe weathering, and is fine to medium grained.
I
BA GROUNDWATER DATA
Groundwater levels should be expected to fluctuate seasonally and yearly from the
-� groundwater readings noted on the boring logs. The time of year that the borings were
drilled and the history of precipitation prior to drilling should be known when using the
groundwater readings from the boring logs to extrapolate water levels at other times.
Groundwater was encountered in all three borings at the time of drilling with the depths as follows: Harmony
was at 14.1 feet below grade, Linden was at 9.0 feet below grade, and Overland Trail was at 18.6 feet below
grade. The water level measurements were taken only at the time of drilling and would be expected to fluctuate
from the depths measured during drilling.
C. ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
CA PROJECT DATA
The engineering recommendations made in this report are based on our understanding of the project as
discussed in the following paragraphs. The recommendations are valid for a specific set of project
conditions. If the characteristics of the project should change from those indicated in this section, it is
important that we be informed so that we can determine whether the new conditions affect our
recommendations.
C.2 DISCUSSION
The structures to be installed at the three substation sites consist of 70 foot high steel towers to be supported on
a concrete foundation. Only one tower is to be installed at each site. One bore hole was advanced within or
near the expected footprint of the structure. The recommendations of this report are based on the conditions
encountered in the bore holes.
The subsurface conditions encountered at the three electrical substation sites vary. Harmony Substation and
Overland Trail Substation sites are similar with Linden Substation being very different. The near surface soils
at Harmony and Overland Trail Substations are predominantly clay and are well suited for the installation of
either drilled piers or spread footings. The Linden site, due to the fill encountered and the high groundwater, is
not well suited for the installation of a drilled pier. Drilling would require the use of a temporary casing to
stabilize the hole. The mud and muck that would result from drilling to bedrock below the water table would
have to be pumped from the hole and removed from the site. Due to the conditions, a spread footing is
recommended at Linden with the subgrade over excavated to a depth of approximately nine (9) feet below
i grade and the soil replaced with structural fill.
C.3 FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS
C.3.1 SITE PREPARATION
All work areas should be stripped of any and all organic materials, topsoil, vegetation, or foreign material prior

to any work being conducted. These materials should not be used as fill or backfill for any structures proposed
for the site. Site excavations should be graded to direct water away from the excavations to minimize subgrade
saturation.
C.3.2 FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS
C.3.2.1 Harmony and Overland Trail Substation
The foundation for the proposed towers at the Harmony Substation and Overland Trail Substation are
recommended to be a 42-inch diameter drilled pier with a minimum pier length below grade of ten (10) feet.
The piers have has been designed for a Lateral Load at the base of the tower of 3.5 kips, a base moment of 110
kip -feet, and a vertical load of 4.0 kips.
C.3.2.2 Linden Substation
The foundation for the Linden tower shall be a spread footing. The existing subgrade (fill) material shall be
removed to a depth of approximately nine (9) feet below grade and replaced with compacted structural fill.
The footings shall be designed for a maximum bearing pressure (dead plus live load) of 2,000 pounds per
square foot The footings shall be designed in accordance with ACI 318-Building Code Requirements for
Structural Concrete and shall be designed for all compression and tensile loads expected due to all dead, live,
uplift loads, hydrostatic pressures and lateral loads from seismic and wind.
- The structural fill shall be placed in 12-inch lifts and compacted to a minimum density of 98% of the maximum
density in accordance with ASTM D698 at +2% of optimum moisture content.
C.3.2.3 Pier Foundation Design
The piers shall be designed for all compression and tensile loads expected due to all dead, live, uplift loads,
hydrostatic pressures and lateral loads from seismic and wind loads in accordance with ACI 318 and the drilled
SHAFT MANUAL, Volume I and II, U.S. Department of Transportation, Implementation Package 77-21
1 and ACI 336.1, Reference Specifications for the Construction of Drilled Piers.
All piers shall have minimum reinforcement of 0.33% to resist the potential swell pressures and any additional
reinforcement as necessary to resist all expected tensile forces.
C.3.2.4 Seismic Design
For seismic design of structures and footings at the site, the site should be considered as Site Class D in
accordance with ASCE 7-05.
C.3.3 FROST AND FOUNDATION DEPTH CONSIDERATIONS
The foundation should be placed at least 30-inches below the final exterior grade to provide proper protection
l from frost damage.
j C.3.4 BACKFILL AND FILL REQUIREMENTS
All backfill in areas that will not support external loads should be compacted to a minimum of 95% of the
maximum dry density as determined by a Standard Proctor test (ASTM D698), at +2% of the optimum
moisture content. The materials from the required excavations at Harmony and Overland trail Substations are
suitable for use as backfill materials. The materials from the required excavation at Linden Substation are not
suitable for use as backfill and must be spoiled offsite.
Structural fill, placed beneath structures and in areas that will support roads or other structures, shall be
compacted to 98% of the maximum dry density as determined by a Standard Proctor test (ASTM D698), at
+2% of the optimum moisture content, unless noted otherwise. If the material has less than 12% fines, the fill
shall be compacted to 75% relative density in accordance with ASTM D4253 and D4254. Only sand and
gravel type materials shall be used as structural fill beneath structures.
To assure adequate and uniform density is obtained, a geotechnical engineer should be retained to test all
fills
D. OBSERVATION AND TESTING
Since a project of this nature requires many soil -related judgments and decisions, we recommend that an
experienced geotechnical engineer be retained as part of the construction team. We strongly recommend that a
geotechnical engineer visually inspect all footings prior to placing backfill or concrete.
We also recommend that a limited number of compaction tests be performed to document the degree of
compaction obtained in backfill and structural fill and recommend concrete placements be tested to ensure the
quality and requirements for the concrete are met.
E. STANDARD OF CARE

Special Notice
Contractors who have completed this application in the past, please note the following changes in procedure
The Department will no longer issue individual Certificates of exam ption to subcontractors. Only prime contrac-
tors will receive a Contractor's Exemption Certificate on exempt projects.
Upon receipt of the Certificate, the prime contractor should make a copy for each subcontractor involved in the
project and complete it by filling in the subcontractor's name and address and signing it.
The original Certificate should always be retained by the prime contractor. Copies of all Certificates that the
prime contractor issued to subcontractors should be kept at the prime contractor's place of business for a
minimum of three years and be available for inspection in the event of an audit.
Once an 890 has been assigned to you, please use the next five numbers following it for any applications
submitted for future projects. This should be your permanent number. For instance, if you were assigned 89-
12345-0001, every application submitted thereafter should contain 89-12345 on the application. The succeed-
ing numbers will be issued by the Department of Revenue. DO NOT enter what you believe to be the next in
sequence as this may delay processing of your application.

means the lowest, qualified, responsible and responsive Bidder to whom
OWNER (on basis of OWNER's evaluation as hereinafter provided) makes an
award. The term "Bidding Documents" includes the Advertisement or

proposed Contract Documents (including all Addenda issued prior to
receipt of Bids).

Invitation to Bid. No partial sets will *be issued. The Bidding
Documents may be examined at the locations identified in the Invitation

neither OWNER nor Engineer assumes any responsibility for errors or
misinterpretations resulting from the use of incomplete sets of Bidding
Documents.
2.3. The submitted Bid proposal shall include Sections 00300, 00410,
00420, and 00430 fully executed.
2.4. OWNER and Engineer, in making copies of Bidding Documents available
on the above terms, do so only for the purpose of obtaining Bids on the

submit at the time of the Bid opening, a written statement of
qualifications including financial data, a summary of previous
experience, previous commitments and evidence of authority to conduct
business in the jurisdiction where the Project is located. Each Bid must
