Memorandum
EXPIRES: -11
We have completed the geotechnical investigation for the above -referenced project.
Our findings and recommendations are summarized below.
There are numerous values in geotechnical investigations that are approximate
including calculated parameters, measured lengths, soil layer depths and elevations,
and strength measurements. For brevity, the symbol "±" is used throughout this
report to represent the words approximate or approximately when discussing these
values.
BACKGROUND
Dustrud Architecture (Dustrud) is assisting with planning and project management
for a 128 -unit multi -family residential development that will be located on a
±4.7 -acre parcel southwest of the intersection of Marcola Road and 22nd Street in
Springfield, Oregon. The site location is shown in Figure 1 A (Appendix A).
The proposed development will consist of six, 3 -story, wood -frame structures
constructed on a currently -undeveloped parcel between Marcola Road and
Highway 126. We anticipate the finished floor elevation will be close to existing
grades and will include slab -on -grade floors. The wood -frame structures are expected
to have relatively light foundation loads. The improvements will also include
construction of a single -level office/clubhouse building, access pavements, and
parking stalls.
Paradigm is the project owner and Dustrud is the project architect. Dustrud retained
Foundation Engineering as the geotechnical consultant. Our scope of work was
outlined in a proposal dated December 14, 2022, and authorized by a signed
Professional Services Agreement with the same date.

FIELD EXPLORATION
We excavated eleven (11) exploratory test pits on January 11, 2023, using a
John Deere 310 D backhoe. The test pits were excavated near the planned buildings
and pavements, and extended to maximum depths ranging from ± 3.5 to 8 feet. The
approximate locations of the test pits are shown on Figure 2A (Appendix A). We also
excavated into the berm along the south side of the property to classify the material
and evaluate its suitability for use as site fill.
The soil profiles were logged and soil samples were retained for possible laboratory
testing and observation in our office. Where practical, undrained shear strength
measurements were made on the test pit sidewalls using a Field Vane shear device.
Following the completion of the explorations, the test pits were backfilled with the
excavated materials, tamped in place in lifts.
The soil profiles, sampling depths, and vane strength measurements are summarized
in the test pit logs (Appendix B). The logs were prepared based on a review of the
field logs, laboratory test results, and an examination of the soil samples in our office.
The test pit locations were not surveyed. Therefore, ground surface elevations are
not included on the logs.
There are inherent variations in subsurface conditions that include depths,
consistency, and material constituents. We have provided a brief discussion of these
variations as well as a summary of the terms used in our soil descriptions in
Appendix B. The surface and subsurface conditions are discussed below.
DISCUSSION OF SITE CONDITIONS
Site Topography and Vegetation
The site topography is relatively flat. A ±5 to 6 -foot tall berm extends along the
southern edge of the property. Vegetation at the time of our field work consisted
primarily of grass and scattered trees and blackberry bushes. Trees and hedges
border the western edge of the parcel. A concrete slab associated with previous
development is in the northern portion of the property.
Subsurface Conditions
A general discussion of the soil units encountered in the test pits is presented below.
Two existing below -grade utilities traverse through the south portion of the parcel.
These utility easements are in proposed pavement or landscape areas. A more
detailed description of the subsurface conditions is provided on the test pit logs
(Appendix B).

Geotechnical Investigation 2. Project No., 2221164
Springfield, Oregon Dustrud Architecture
Topsy/. A topsoil layer was encountered in all test pits. The topsoil ranges from
±1 to 7 inches thick and consists of brown to dark brown, highly organic, low
plasticity silt to silty gravel with some sand. The organics consist predominantly of
fine roots and was medium stiff to stiff or loose to dense at the time of our field
exploration. However, we anticipate the topsoil will soften considerably when
disturbed.
Fill. The bulk of the parcel includes an upper layer of fill extending to typical depths
of 2 to 2.5 feet, and as great as 4.5 feet at TP -6. The fill varies from silty gravel
with some sand to silt with some sand and gravel. Excavation at the south berm
suggests the bulk of the berm consists of sandy gravel with some silt. At some
locations (TP -3, TP -9 and TP -10), the topsoil is underlain by predominantly
fine-grained soil. However, the grey coloration of the upper portion of the soil profile
suggests this may also represent fill. In these cases, the upper grey soil was termed
"possible alluvium" to reflect this uncertainty.
The fill material appears to be relatively clean (i.e., free of high plastic clay, organics,
and construction debris). However, we do not believe that it has been placed and
compacted in lifts in a controlled manner.
Fine -Grained Alluvium. The fill is typically underlain by brown, low to medium
plasticity silt, to high plasticity silty clay to clayey silt. This unit contains varying
amounts of gravel and trace to some sand, typically increasing with depth. The fine-
grained alluvium is typically limited to a stratum that is ± 1 to 2.5 feet thick.
However, the stratum was absent at TP -6 and was ±4.5 feet thick at TP -8. The
fine-grained alluvium was medium stiff to stiff, and moist to wet at the time of our
field exploration, completed during a period of rainy weather.
Coarse-GrainedAiiuvium. The explorations typically terminated in grey to grey -brown,
sandy gravel and cobbles. The bar -run gravel is dense to very dense, subrounded to
rounded, and ranged up to ± 5 inches in diameter. A transition layer of silty sand to
sand was present at some test pits.
Groundwater
No seepage or groundwater was observed to the maximum depth of most of the
explorations (i.e., ±8 feet below current grade), which were completed in winter.
However, moderate seepage was observed in TP -2 at a depth of ± 5.5 feet (i.e., near
the top of the bar -run gravel). Local well logs available from the Oregon Water
Resources Department website suggest the static groundwater level in the project
vicinity lies ±7 to 13 feet below the ground surface. Therefore, we anticipate the
depth of the groundwater will fluctuate seasonally between this range of depths.
Iron -staining of the soils encountered in the test pits and the observed seepage in
TP -2 suggest water may also perch at shallower depths during periods of extended
rainfall.

LABORATORY AND FIELD TESTING
The laboratory work included index tests (moisture content, percent fines, and
Atterberg limits) to help classify the soils and estimate their engineering properties.
Laboratory test results are summarized in Table 1 C (Appendix C). Untested soil was
classified in the field according to ASTM D2488 -09A (Standard Test Method for
Description and Identification of Soils (Visual -Manual Procedure)).
Field vane measurements were taken in the field on the test pit sidewalls at selected
depths. The test results, summarized in Table 2C, indicate undrained shear strengths
ranging from ±0.4 to greater than 1 .0 tons/ft2 (tsf).
DISCUSSION OF GEOTECHNICAL ISSUES
A general discussion of geotechnical issues is provided in this section. Specific
construction recommendations for these items are provided in the recommendations
section.
Seasonal Issues
The site work will be completed over soils that vary from predominantly fine-grained
to granular with silt. These soils will be moisture -sensitive and will soften
considerably when wet and disturbed by construction traffic. Therefore, if practical,
we recommend completing the site grading and foundation construction during the
dry summer months (typically mid-June through mid-October). If wet weather
construction is planned, it should be anticipated that reuse of on-site soils will not
be practical and thickened access roads and building pads will be required to support
construction traffic and reduce the risk of subgrade disturbance.
Expansive Soils
Atterberg Limits tests on the fine-grained soils suggest the soils have a Liquid Limit
ranging from 59 to 73 and a Plasticity Index (PI) ranging from 30 to 45. These limits
correspond to a high plasticity silty clay to clayey silt (CH to MH) designation
according to the Unified Soil Classification System. These soils are typically
associated with a moderate risk of swelling and shrinking due to seasonal changes
in moisture content. Our observations and field classification suggest that the risk of
shrink/swell movements is relatively low. However, the soils are expected to be more
difficult to moisture condition and compact for earthwork. Even relatively small
shrink/swell movements over time can result in damage to shallow foundations and
slabs. Therefore, we believe that is will be necessary to provide a layer of granular
fill between the silty clay to clayey silt and all foundations and slabs. Mitigation
measures will also including drainage improvements and maintaining subgrade
moisture throughout the work.

Geotechnical Investigation Q Project No., 2221164
Springfield, Oregon Dustrud Architecture
Undocumented Fill
Undocumented fill is present over most of the site. We believe that it will be practical
to reuse the existing granular fill for supporting building pads and pavements.
However, we recommend that all foundation excavations extend through the existing
fill. Field confirmation of the suitability of the fill and compaction should be made at
the time of construction. If unsuitable fill is encountered, overexcavation and
replacement with imported Base Aggregate will be required.
Site Grading and Building Pad Construction
The upper organic topsoil is typically ± 1 to 7 inches thick. Therefore, we anticipate
a minimum stripping depth of ±6 inches will be required in all pavements and building
areas to remove the bulk of the organics. Deeper stripping and grubbing is expected
in areas of trees or dense brush. Therefore, the actual stripping depth should be
evaluated by a Foundation Engineering representative during construction.
We anticipate relatively minor grading will be required to construct the building pads.
Upper organic soils from on-site excavations should be hauled from the site or
stockpiled for reuse in landscape areas.
Suitable on-site fill should consist of granular soils that include some silt, but are free
of organics, high plastic silt or clay and debris. We anticipate the mounded granular
soil in the southern portion of the site will be suitable for re -use as general site fill, if
approved by a Foundation Engineering representative during site grading.
The finished floor elevation of the buildings are expected to be raised at least 1 foot
above existing grades to assist with site drainage. Fill placed beneath buildings should
be limited to imported granular fill. Existing fill present beneath the building pads
should be compacted using a large, smooth drum roller and evaluated by proof rolling
the prepared surface. The approved compacted granular fill should be capped with
imported Base Aggregate to construct the building pads.
ENGINEERING ANALYSIS
Bearing Capacity
We estimated the bearing capacity of continuous perimeter footings and isolated
column footings placed on Base Aggregate underlain by stiff native soil. Field Vane
measurements recorded in the native soils indicate the undrained shear strength (Su)
ranged from 0.4 to 1 .0 tons/ft' (tsf). Based on a minimum Su of 0.4 tsf for the soils,
we recommend designing footings using an allowable bearing pressure of 2,000 Ib/ft2
(psf), assuming a typical factor of safety of 3. This analysis assumes that the
perimeter foundations will have an effective width of 16 inches and isolated column
footings will have a minimum width of 18 inches.
Marcola Paradigm Apartments February 8, 2023
Geotechnical Investigation S. Project No., 2221164
Springfield, Oregon Dustrud Architecture
Our analysis assumed that perimeter foundations would be embedded a minimum of
18 inches below finished grades. Interior thickened slab footings should extend at
least 12 inches below the finished floor level. Base Aggregate placed beneath the
foundations should be a minimum of 12 inches thick and extend a minimum of
6 inches beyond the footing edges. The allowable bearing pressure may be increased
by one-third for transient (seismic and wind) loads.
Settlement
A formal settlement analysis was not performed for the project since the native soils
are relatively stiff and the fine-grained soils are of limited thickness. Based on the
stiffness of the foundation soils and the recommended bearing pressure, we
anticipate the total and differential movements will be less than ± 1 inch and
± Y2 inch, respectively, if foundation preparation is completed as recommended
herein.
Sliding Coefficient and Passive Resistance for Footings
A coefficient of friction of 0.5 between the concrete footing and the Base Aggregate
may be used for sliding analysis. An equivalent fluid density of ± 145 Ib/ft' (pcf) may
be used to represent the potential passive resistance against the vertical face of
footings that are backfilled with compacted Base Aggregate within the building pad.
The passive resistance assumes limited horizontal movement (i.e., less than 1 inch)
for service -level design.
Slab -on -Grade
Concrete slab -on -grade flooring is planned for the new buildings. We recommend the
slabs be supported on a minimum of 8 inches of compacted Base Aggregate underlain
by compacted, existing granular fill or firm, native fine-grained subgrade soil.
Therefore, a modulus of subgrade reaction (W of 200 kips/ft' (kcf), or 115 Ib/in'
(pci) is appropriate for design.
Drainage
The static groundwater table is expected to lie below the current limits of grading
and excavations. However, water may perch on the near -surface soils during periods
of extended rainfall. Based on the anticipated site grading plan, the soil conditions
encountered in the test pits, and the expected drainage characteristic of the soil, we
recommend providing perimeter drainage around the new buildings. The ground
surface around the buildings should also be graded to promote runoff away from new
foundations.

Geotechnical Investigation 6. Project No., 2221164
Springfield, Oregon Dustrud Architecture
Pavement Design
The development will include a parking area for passenger vehicles. Based on the
plans, 148 new parking stalls will be provided. We assumed an average daily traffic
(ADT) consisting of 3 round -trips per stall per day of passenger vehicles. We also
assumed up to 8 heavy vehicles per day, consisting of a distribution of service and
delivery vehicles, busses, moving vans, and RV's. We assumed zero annual growth.
Equivalent (18 -kip) Single -Axle Loads (ESALs) for design were calculated using ESAL
conversion factors from the 2019 COOT Pavement Design Guide (ODOT, 2019). The
calculations indicate ±84,000 ESALs for a 20 -year design life of the parking lot.
We assumed a reliability of 75% (appropriate for a local street), a standard deviation
of 0.49, an initial serviceability of 4.2, and a terminal serviceability of 2.5. The
minimum AC thickness was established based on the COOT 2019 method using the
assumed traffic and a resilient modulus (M,) of 20,000 Win (psi) for the base rock.
A resilient modulus (M,) value of 6,000 psi was selected for our pavement analysis
assuming the pavements would be constructed over the compacted granular fill. We
calculated a required structural number (SN) of 2.29 for the pavement section. A layer
coefficient of 0.42 and a drainage coefficient of 1.0 were assumed for the AC. A
layer coefficient of 0.10 and a drainage coefficient of 1 .0 were assumed for the base
rock. Based on our analysis, we recommend a minimum section of 3.5 inches of AC
over 9 inches of Base Aggregate. Where the pavement subgrade consists of fine-
grained alluvium or the granular fill deflects excessively during proof rolling the Base
Aggregate thickness should be increased to 18 inches.
The predominantly fine-grained subgrade will be moisture -sensitive and susceptible
to softening, pumping, and rutting under construction traffic when wet. Wet weather
construction will likely require providing a thickened base rock section or granular
subbase to reduce the risk of pumping. We should be contacted to provide wet
weather construction recommendations if the earthwork and roadway construction is
delayed into the winter months.
SEISMIC DESIGN
Seismic Response Spectrum
The apartments will be designed using the 2022 Oregon Structural Specialty Code
(OSSC 2022), which is based on the 2021 International Building Code (IBC 2021)
and Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other
Structures prepared by American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE 7-16). We
developed a design spectral acceleration response spectrum for the site in
accordance with the OSSC 2022, which is based on Section 1613 of IBC, 2021.
The design maximum considered earthquake ground motion maps in the IBC 2021
are based on modified USGS (2014) maps with a 2% probability of exceedance in
50 years (i.e., a ±2,475 -year return period).
Marcola Paradigm Apartments February 8, 2023
Geotechnical Investigation 7. Project No., 2221164
Springfield, Oregon Dustrud Architecture
Based on our previous work in the area and a review of local logs available from the
Oregon Water Resources Department website, we have concluded a Site Class C
(very dense soil and soft rock) is appropriate for the site. The seismic design
parameters and OSSC response spectrum are shown on Figure 3A (Appendix A).
Liquefaction
Liquefiable soils typically consist of loose sands and non -plastic to low plasticity silt
(i.e., silts with a plasticity index (PI) less than 8) that are below the water table. The
soils at the site consist of predominantly granular soil and medium stiff to very stiff
fine-grained soil above the water table. These soils are not expected to liquefy under
earthquake loading.
Potentially liquefiable, very loose to medium dense silty sand was encountered in
TP -2 and TP -3 near the wet weather groundwater level. However, liquefaction
induced settlement is not expected to be a concern at this site due to the limited
thickness of the sand below the anticipated highest groundwater level.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The recommendations provided below assume the earthwork and building pad
construction will occur during dry weather. In the event this work extends into late
fall or winter, we should be contacted to provide additional recommendations for wet
weather construction.
Material Specifications and Compaction Requirements
1 . Base Aggregate should consist of 1 "-0 or %"-0 Dense -Graded Aggregate
that is clean (i.e., less than 5% passing the #200 U.S. Sieve), well -graded
and consists of crushed gravel or rock. We should be provided a sample
or gradation curve of the intended fill for approval, prior to delivery to the
site.
2. Drain rock as defined in this report should consist of Y, to '%-inch or 1- to
1 Y2 -inch, clean, open -graded gravel, or crushed rock. Other gradations
may be acceptable.
3. Subgrade for the building pads and pavements should consist of
compacted, existing granular fill that is firm and experiences negligible
deflection under proof rolling with a loaded 10 cubic yard dump truck.
4. Foundation subgrade should consist of native, medium stiff, low to
medium plasticity silt to silty clay, which does not contain abundant
organics or debris. The subgrade is moisture sensitive and will require
careful treatment throughout excavation. Maintain the moisture of the
subgrade throughout the work.
Marcola Paradigm Apartments February 8, 2023
Geotechnical Investigation 8. Project No., 2221164
Springfield, Oregon Dustrud Architecture
Site stripping should remove the upper ±6 inches of the surface that
contains the bulk of the organics and block -structured soil throughout the
improvement areas. Deeper excavation will be required for trees or dense
vegetation, or in areas of previous structures. In addition, additional
excavation may be required during site preparation work for building pads
or pavements where predominantly fine-grained fill or fine-grained native
soils are exposed at the subgrade level.
The Separation Geotextile (if required) should meet the minimum
requirements of an AASHTO M 288-17 geotextile for separation and have
Mean Average Roll Value (MARV) strength properties meeting the
requirements of an AASHTO M 288-17 Class 2, woven geotextile. We
should be provided a specification sheet on the selected geotextile for
approval prior to delivery to the site.
Moisture -conditioning and structural fill compaction should be completed
using loose lifts not exceeding 12 inches. Thinner lifts may be required
if light or hand -operated equipment is used. All imported structural fill is
expected to consist of Base Aggregate. Moisture -condition the fill to
within 2% of optimum at the time of placement and compaction.
Compact all structural fill to a minimum of 95% relative compaction. The
maximum dry density of ASTM D698 should be used as the standard for
estimating relative compaction. Field density tests should be completed
to confirm adequate compaction.
The existing granular fill in building pads and pavement areas should be
moisture conditioned and compacted using multiple passes of a large,
vibratory roller. The compacted surface should be proof -rolled using a
loaded, ±10-yd'dump truck or another approved vehicle. Adequate
subgrade stiffness (based on proof -rolling and surface observation)
should be confirmed by a Foundation Engineering representative. Areas
of pumping or deflection observed beneath the truck wheels may be
reworked, or overexcavated and replaced with compacted Base
Aggregate and proof -rolled again.
It is the contractor's responsibility to provide and maintain stable cut
slopes, benching, or shoring as required by the Oregon Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OR -OSHA). OR -OSHA Type B and
Type C soils will be encountered across the site. OR -OSHA recommends
maximum cut slopes of 1 :1 (H:V) in Type B soil and maximum cut slopes
of 1 Y::1 (H:V) in Type C soil. Shoring should be provided in trenches
greater than 4 feet deep to protect workers from sloughing or caving
soils.
Marcola Paradigm Apartments February 8, 2023
Geotechnical Investigation S. Project No., 2221164
Springfield, Oregon Dustrud Architecture
10. Inform contractors that water infiltration may occur in deeper excavations
for underground utilities. Assume water will be encountered at shallow
depths during the winter months. Trenches should be pumped dry prior
to placing backfill. Trench backfill that extends beneath the new building
should consist of Base Aggregate placed and compacted as specified in
Item 7.
11. Provide contractors with a copy of this memorandum to review
recommendations for site preparation and foundation construction. We
should be provided an opportunity to meet with the contractor prior to
construction to discuss the site conditions and the contractor's approach
to site preparation.
Building Pad Preparation and Foundation Construction
12. Strip the existing ground ±6 inches, or as required to remove the bulk
of roots and blocky soil. Dispose of all strippings outside of construction
areas.
13. Demolish and remove the existing concrete slab and any associated
construction debris in the northern portion of the site (near TP -4).
14. Excavate the building pads to the grades required to accommodate a
minimum 8 -inch thick building pad. Moisture condition and compact the
granular fill exposed at the building pad subgrade. Proof roll the
compacted subgrade using a loaded 10 cubic yard dump truck to identify
any areas of yielding subgrade.
15. Areas of excessive deflection in the building pad and portions of the
excavation terminating in predominantly fine-grained subgrade should be
extended to provide a total of 18 inches of Base Aggregate for the
building pad. These excavations should be completed using an excavator
equipped with a smooth-edged bucket to minimize subgrade disturbance.
16. Place a minimum of 8 inches of Base Aggregate over the approved
compacted granular fill to construct the building pad. The 18 -inch -thick
rock section should be placed over uncompacted subgrade. The
subgrade soils are moisture sensitive and should be protected from
construction traffic throughout placement and building pad preparation
work. Do not allow the subgrade to become excessively wet or dry prior
to placing Base Aggregate.
Marcola Paradigm Apartments February 8, 2023
Geotechnical Investigation 10. Project No., 2221164
Springfield, Oregon Dustrud Architecture
17. Excavate for footings using an excavator equipped with a smooth-edged
bucket. The excavation depth should extend through all existing fill
material and accommodate a minimum of 12 inches of compacted Base
Aggregate beneath the footings. The footing excavations may have to
be deepened at some locations to extend through the existing fill. The
Base Aggregate under the foundations should extend laterally 6 inches
beyond the edge of the footings for formed foundations.
A Foundation Engineering representative should be on-site to evaluate
the exposed foundation subgrade for conformance with the above
criteria and to verify the absence of unsuitable (i.e., predominantly
fine-grained) fill, expansive soil, or otherwise unsuitable conditions.
18. Complete field density testing on the compacted Base Aggregate beneath
footings to verify adequate compaction. All Base Aggregate should be
compacted to 95% relative compaction according to ASTM D698. A
density test should be completed every ± 50 to 80 linear feet of footing.
19. Provide a minimum of 12 inches of Base Aggregate beneath foundations.
Provide a minimum of 6 inches of compacted Base Aggregate under all
other isolated concrete slabs, sidewalks, and driveways. Use compacted
Base Aggregate for foundation backfill in all areas supporting slabs or
pavements.
Foundation Design
20. Design the perimeter strip footings and isolated column footings using an
allowable bearing pressure of 2,000 psf. Provide an effective footing
width of 16 inches for the perimeter footings and 18 inches for the
isolated column footings.
21. Assume the new building could experience total settlement of ± 1 inch
and differential movements of ± Y, inch if foundation preparation is
completed as recommended herein.
22. Use a coefficient of friction of 0.5 for sliding analysis of new footings
bearing on Base Aggregate.
23. Design new structures using the response spectrum, Site Class and
seismic parameters summarized in Figure 3A.
24. Use a modulus of subgrade reaction, k., of 200 kcf, for the floor slab
design. This value assumes the slab will be underlain by at least 8 inches
of compacted Base Aggregate placed over approved, compacted granular
fill.
Marcola Paradigm Apartments February 8, 2023
Geotechnical Investigation 11. Project No., 2221164
Springfield, Oregon Dustrud Architecture
25. Provide a suitable vapor barrier under the floor slabs that is compatible
with the proposed floor covering and the method of slab curing. The type
and placement of the vapor barrier depends on the method of slab curing
and schedule for installing the floor surfaces. Therefore, this item should
be reviewed by the flooring manufacturer, contractor, and project
engineer and/or architect.
Drainage for Buildings
26. Install foundation drains along the perimeter of the new buildings. The
drains should consist of 3 or 4 -inch diameter, perforated or slotted, PVC
pipe wrapped in a Filter Fabric. The pipe should be set at the base of the
perimeter footing. The pipe should be bedded in at least 4 inches of Drain
Rock and backfilled to within 6 inches of finished grade with Drain Rock.
The entire mass of Drain Rock should be wrapped in a similar Filter Fabric
that laps at least 12 inches at the top.
27. Provide clean -outs at appropriate locations for future maintenance of the
drainage system.
28. Discharge the water from the drain system into the stormwater system
Pavements
Pavement construction should be completed in dry weather as follows:
29. Strip the ground surface in the pavement areas as required and excavate
to provide the recommended pavement section. The existing granular fill
should be moisture conditioned and compacted using a vibratory, smooth
drum roller. Proof -roll the compacted subgrade using a loaded 10 yd'
dump truck to identify areas of fine-grained soil or any areas of yielding
or pumping granular fill. Unsuitable subgrade identified during the proof -
roll should be excavated an additional 9 inches (minimum) to provide a
thickened base section. Deeper excavation may be required in some
areas, depending on the soil conditions.
30. Place a Separation Geotextile over the approved subgrade in
overexcavation areas as recommended in Item 6. The geotextile should
be laid smooth, without wrinkles or folds in the direction of construction
traffic. Overlap adjacent rolls a minimum of 2 feet. Pin fabric overlaps or
place the building pad fill in a manner that will not separate the overlap
during construction. Seams that have separated will require removal of
the building pad fill to establish the required overlap.
Marcola Paradigm Apartments February 8, 2023
Geotechnical Investigation 12. Project No., 2221164
Springfield, Oregon Dustrud Architecture
31. Place Base Aggregate over the approved subgrade to construct the base
rock section. The fill should be end -dumped outside the pavement area
and pushed using a dozer. Compact the Base Aggregate as recommended
in Item 7.
29. Provide a minimum flexible pavement section of 3.5 inches of AC over
9 inches of Base Aggregate for areas supporting truck traffic. As
discussed above, pavement areas over fine-grained subgrade will require
a thickened Base Aggregate section of 18 inches. Therefore, we
recommend including a unit cost and bid item for the thickened section.
DESIGN REVIEW/CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION/TESTING
We should be provided the opportunity to review all drawings and specifications that
pertain to site preparation and foundation construction. Site preparation will require
field confirmation of subgrade conditions. Mitigation of any subgrade pumping and
the suitability of any existing fill under the proposed building pads or pavement areas
will also require engineering judgement. That judgment should be provided by one of
our representatives. Frequent field density tests should be run on all foundation and
building pad fill. We recommend that we be retained to provide the necessary
construction observation.
VARIATION OF SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS, USE OF THIS REPORT AND WARRANTY
The analysis, conclusions and recommendations contained herein are based on the
assumption that the soil profiles and absence of groundwater observed during our
explorations are representative of the overall site conditions. The above
recommendations assume that we will have the opportunity to review final drawings
and be present during construction to confirm assumed foundation conditions. No
changes in the enclosed recommendations should be made without our approval. We
will assume no responsibility or liability for any engineering judgment, inspection or
testing performed by others.
This report was prepared for the exclusive use of Paradigm, Dustrud, and their design
consultants for the Marcola Paradigm Apartments project in Springfield, Oregon.
Information contained herein should not be used for other sites or for unanticipated
construction without our written consent. This report is intended for planning and
design purposes. Contractors using this information to estimate construction
quantities or costs do so at their own risk.
Climate conditions in western Oregon typically consist of wet weather for almost
half of the year (typically between mid-October and late May). The recommendations
for site preparation are not intended to represent any warranty (expressed or implied)
against the growth of mold, mildew or other organisms that grow in a humid or moist
environment.

Test Pit Logs
Foundation Engineering, Inc.

DISTINCTION BETWEEN FIELD LOGS AND FINAL LOGS
A field log is prepared for each boning or test pit by our field representative. The log contains information concerning sampling depths
and the presence of various materials such as gravel, cobbles, and fill, and observations of ground water. It also contains our
interpretation of the soil conditions between samples. The final logs presented in this report represent our interpretation of the
contents of the field logs and the results of the sample examinations and laboratory test results. Our recommendations are based on
the contents of the final logs and the information contained therein and not on the field logs.
VARIATION IN SOILS BETWEEN TEST PITS AND BORINGS
The final log and related information depict subsurface conditions only at the specific location and on the date indicated. Those using
the information contained herein should be aware Mat soil conditions at other locations or on other dates may differ. Actual
foundation or subgrade conditions should be confirmed by us during construction.
TRANSITION BETWEEN SOIL OR ROCK TYPES
The lines designating the interface between soil, fill or rock on the final logs and on subsurface profiles presented in the report are
determined by interpolation and are therefore approximate. The transition between the materials may be abrupt or gradual. Only at
boring or test pit locations should profiles be considered as reasonably accurate and then only to the degree implied by the notes
thereon.
