Provided this draft report summarizing the results of our geotechnical evaluation. Provide a final report summarizing our recommendations and incorporating the review

comments of the City of Salem and the design team. 3.0 SITE CONDITIONS 3.1 SURFACE CONDITIONS McGilchrist Street SE, within the limits of our investigation, is AC-surfaced with one lane in each direction, with the exception of some turning lanes at 12th Street SE, 13th Street SE, Pringle Road SE, and 25th Street SE. Road edges include a variety of ditches and shoulder areas, with curb and gutter from 12th Street SE to Pringle Road SE. A rail line crosses the alignment between Pringle Road SE and 16th Street SE. The ground surface is generally flat along the alignment. Creek crossings include Clark Creek to the west of 13th Street SE, the west fork of Pringle Creek to the east of the railroad, and the east fork of Pringle Creek to the west of 22nd Street SE. 3.2 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS We completed a total of 21 explorations on the alignment with 10 explorations (C-1 through C-10) (hereinafter referred to as “cores”) specific for pavement design and 11 borings (B-1 through B-11) (hereinafter referred to as “borings) for geotechnical investigation. All explorations with the exception of B-11 were completed in the AC pavement. Cores C-1 through C-7 and C-9 were advanced through the AC, aggregate base, and into the subgrade to depths ranging from 3.0 feet to 8.0 feet BGS. Cores C-8 and C-10 were terminated at the base of the AC due to potential utility conflicts. Borings B-1 through B-11 were drilled to depths ranging from 20.3 to 21.5 feet BGS. The cores were placed along the project for pavement design purposes as well as utility trenching information. The boring locations were selected based on the following design features: C-1 through C-10: Pavement design and utility trenching B-1 and B-2: Clark Creek crossing B-3: 13th Street SE signal pole B-4: Pringle Road SE signal pole B-5 through B-7: west fork of Pringle Creek crossing B-8 and B-9: east fork of Pringle Creek crossing B-10: 22nd Street SE signal pole B-11: 25th Street SE signal pole The following is a summary of the cores and borings. Specific consistencies and layer thicknesses are identified on the exploration logs presented in the Appendix. 3.2.1 Pavement Cores Pavement thicknesses and pavement conditions are discussed in our pavement design report. In general, the subgrade beneath the pavement consists of soft to very stiff silt to clay over medium dense to very dense gravel. Gravel was encountered at varying depths from 13 to 7.0 feet BGS. Laboratory testing of clay soil samples in cores C-4 and C-9 indicates plasticity index from 25 to

33 and moisture content from 29 to 45 percent. Details of the results are presented in the Appendix. Additional information on pavement cores and condition is available in our pavement report. 3.2.2 Borings The clay layer (fill and/or native) varies in thickness from zero (B-8 through B-10) to 12.7 feet (B-2). In addition, we encountered fill material in some of the borings with up to 3.2 feet of soft to medium stiff clay fill at B-2, B-5, and B-11 and 2.5 feet and 1.9 feet of gravel fill at B-1 and B-7, respectively. The gravel beneath the clay is medium dense to very dense and extends to the depth of explorations. In addition, we encountered a void under the pavement at B-6 and caving during drilling in B-1, B-4, B-5, B-8, B-9, and B-11. The void under the pavement is discussed in our pavement report. Laboratory testing of clay soil samples in borings B-1 and B-3 indicates plasticity index from 34 to 35 and moisture content from 32 to 39 percent. Details of the results are presented in the Appendix. 3.2.3 Groundwater Groundwater was not encountered at the time of our explorations; however, the gravel is generally moist to wet. A search at the Oregon Water Resources Department Well Log Query (http://apps.wrd.state.or.us/apps/gw/well_log/Default.aspx) revealed explorations with water levels from 4 to 30 feet BGS on properties along the alignment and at various times throughout the year. In addition, we expect that groundwater can become perched on the silt and clay layers at relatively shallow depths during the wet season. Groundwater is expected to fluctuate throughout the year with changes in precipitation. 4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Based on our site reconnaissance, explorations, laboratory testing, and analyses, it is our opinion that the subsurface conditions at the site are suitable for the proposed roadway widening, provided the site is prepared as recommended in this report. The following sections discuss geotechnical design considerations for the proposed development. 4.1 SITE PREPARATION 4.1.1 Stripping and Grubbing The existing root zone, organic material, and pavements should be stripped and removed from the site in all proposed structural fill, pavement widening, and improvement areas and for a 5-foot margin around such areas. Based on our experience, we anticipate a general stripping depth of approximately 3 to 4 inches over the vegetated areas of the site. Greater stripping depths may be required to remove localized zones of loose or organic soil, particularly within ditches or drainage areas, and the actual stripping depth should be based on field observations at the time of construction. Stripped material should be transported off site for disposal or used in landscaped areas. Following stripping and grubbing and demolition, the subgrade should be compacted to at least 95 percent of AASHTO T 99. However, we note that the subgrade over much of the roadway will

consist of fine-grained silt and clay with high moisture contents. These soils will be sensitive to disturbance and impossible to compact with elevated moisture contents. We recommend using the following section of this report for subgrade evaluation rather than attempting scarification and compaction at the subgrade. 4.1.2 Subgrade Evaluation A member of our geotechnical staff should observe the exposed subgrade after stripping and site cutting have been completed to determine if there are additional areas of unsuitable or unstable soil. In addition to compaction testing of the subgrade, our representative should observe a proof roll with a fully loaded dump truck or similarly heavy rubber-tired construction equipment to identify soft, loose, or unsuitable areas. Areas that appear to be too wet and soft to support proof rolling equipment should be evaluated by probing and prepared in accordance with the recommendations for wet weather construction presented in the following section of this report. 4.1.3 Wet Weather/Wet Soil Grading Trafficability of the site will be difficult during or after extended wet periods or when the moisture content of the surface soil is more than a few percentage points above optimum. We anticipate the existing subgrade will be wet following demolition of the existing gravel or AC pavement areas and during the rainy season. When wet, the silt and clay at the site are easily disturbed and may provide inadequate support for construction equipment. Proof rolling of the subgrade should not be performed during wet weather or if wet ground conditions exist. Instead, the subgrade should be evaluated by probing. Soil that has been disturbed during site preparation activities, or soft or loose zones identified during probing, should be removed and replaced with compacted structural fill. The aggregate base thickness for pavement areas is intended to support post-construction design traffic loads. This design aggregate base thickness may not support construction traffic or pavement construction when the subgrade soil is wet. Accordingly, the use of granular haul roads and staging areas will be necessary for support of construction traffic during the rainy season or when the moisture content of the surficial soil is more than a few percentage points above optimum. If construction is planned for periods when the subgrade soil is wet, staging and haul roads with increased thicknesses of aggregate base will be required. The amount of staging and haul road areas as well as the required thickness of granular material will vary with the contractor’s sequencing of a project and type/frequency of construction equipment. Generally, a 12- to 18-inch-thick mat of granular material is sufficient for light staging areas but is generally not expected to be adequate to support heavy equipment or truck traffic. Assuming the same subgrade assumption, the granular mat for haul roads and areas with repeated heavy construction traffic typically needs to be increased to between 18 and 24 inches. The granular haul road material should be placed in one lift over the prepared, undisturbed subgrade and compacted using a smooth-drum, non-vibratory roller. The granular material should meet the specifications for stabilization material, imported granular material, or pavement aggregate base in the “Materials” section of this report. In addition, a geotextile fabric

should be placed as a barrier between the subgrade and granular material in areas of repeated construction traffic. The geotextile should meet the requirements provided in the “Materials” section of this report. 4.2 TRENCH EXCAVATIONS If utilities are installed along the road alignment, we anticipate trench cuts should stand near vertical to a depth of approximately 4 feet in the silt or clay, provided groundwater seepage is not observed in the sidewalls. However, some caving was observed during exploratory borings and groundwater seepage is likely at the gravel or within old fills or utility trenches; therefore, we anticipate that utility trench excavations may result in caving and sloughing. If caving or sloughing occurs, the sidewalls should be flattened or shored. Trench dewatering will be required to maintain dry working conditions if the invert elevations of the proposed utilities encounter groundwater. Given the predominately soft to medium stiff nature of the silt and clay, as well as the gravel below the silt and clay, pumping from sumps located within the trench may result in excessive sloughing, caving, or running conditions, and dewatering by well points will likely be required. If groundwater is present at the base of utility excavations, we recommend placing stabilization material at the base of the excavation meeting the requirements indicated in the “Materials” section of this report. The material should be free of organic matter and other deleterious material and should be placed in one lift and compacted until "well keyed." While we have described certain approaches to the trench excavation, it is the contractor's responsibility to select the excavation and dewatering methods, monitor the trench excavations for safety, and provide shoring required to protect personnel and adjacent improvements. All trench excavations should be in accordance with applicable OSHA and state regulations. Trench backfill for the utility pipe base, pipe zone, and general backfill should meet the requirements provided in the “Materials” section of this report. 4.3 EROSION CONTROL The fine-grained soil at this site is eroded easily by wind and water; therefore, erosion control measures should be carefully planned and in place before construction begins. Measures that can be employed to reduce erosion include the use of silt fences, hay bales, buffer zones of natural growth, sedimentation ponds, and granular haul roads. 5.0 TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT SLOPES 5.1 TEMPORARY SLOPES Based on soil conditions encountered during our explorations, temporary slopes of 1½H:1V may be used to vertical depths of 10 feet or less, provided groundwater seepage is not encountered and groundwater remains below the base of the excavation. If seepage is encountered, it will be necessary to flatten the slopes and implement a dewatering program. All cut slopes should be protected from erosion by covering them with plastic sheeting or other stabilizing cover during the rainy season. If sloughing or instability is observed, the slope may need to be flattened or the cut supported by shoring.

5.2 PERMANENT SLOPES We understand that no significant slopes are planned for the site. Permanent cut and fill slopes up to 10 feet tall may be built to a gradient as steep as 2H:1V. Slopes that will be maintained by mowing should not be constructed steeper than 3H:1V. Newly constructed fill slopes should be over-built by at least 12 inches and then trimmed back to the required slope to maintain a firm face. Access roads and pavements should be located at least 5 feet from the top of cut and fill slopes. Slopes should be planted with appropriate vegetation to provide protection against erosion as soon as possible after grading. Surface water runoff should be collected and directed away from slopes to prevent water from running down the face of the slope. 6.0 PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS 6.1 GENERAL We understand that two pedestrian bridges will be constructed along McGilchrist Street SE between 12th Street SE and 13th Street SE as part of the project. According to Otak, the bridges will be approximately 5 feet wide and 50 feet long with a combined total load (dead load plus live load) of approximately 53 kips at each abutment. We understand the base of the foundations will be located between elevations of 180 and 182 feet. We evaluated the subsurface conditions near the proposed bridges by completing two drilled borings (B-1 and B-2) through the roadway to a depth of 21.5 feet BGS. The soil conditions consist of an approximately 1.5- to 1.8-foot-thick pavement section underlain by soft to medium stiff silt and clay that extends to depths between 15.3 and 17.0 feet BGS. Underlying the silt and clay is very dense gravel that extends to the maximum depth explored. Based on the footing elevations provided by Otak, soil at the base of the foundations will consist of medium stiff silt and clay. Based on the results of our explorations and loads provided by Otak, the proposed bridges can be supported by conventional spread footings resting on 2-foot-thick granular pads. There should be a minimum horizontal distance of at least 5 feet between the near face of the footing and nearest face of a 2H:1V plain extending down to the toe of the slope. 6.2 BEARING PRESSURE AND SETTLEMENT Footings established on minimum 2-foot-thick granular pads underlain by firm, undisturbed native soil should be proportioned for allowable bearing pressures of 2,500 psf. The value above is a net bearing pressure; the weight of the footing and overlying backfill can be ignored in calculating footing sizes. The recommended allowable bearing pressure applies to the total of dead plus long-term live loads and can be doubled for short-term loads resulting from wind or seismic forces (if applicable). Granular pads should extend 6 inches beyond the margins of the footings for every foot excavated below the footings’ base grade. The granular pads should consist of imported granular material compacted as structural fill. The imported granular material should be

compacted to not less than 95 percent of the maximum dry density, as determined by AASHTO T 99, or, as determined by qualified personnel, that it is well keyed. Total post-construction consolidation-induced settlement of spread footings should be less than 1.0 inch, with differential settlement up to approximately 0.5 inch between bridge abutments. 6.3 LATERAL RESISTANCE Lateral loads on footings can be resisted by passive earth pressure on the sides of the structures and by friction on the base of the footings. Our analysis indicates that the available passive earth pressure for footings confined by on-site soil and structural fill is 250 pcf, modeled as an equivalent fluid pressure. A coefficient of friction equal to 0.40 can be used for the resistance to sliding for footings in contact with the crushed rock pads. 7.0 CULVERT FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS 7.1 GENERAL Replacement culverts will be required for both the west and east forks of Pringle Creek as part of the project. According to Otak, the west culvert crossing will be a four-sided, concrete box culvert and have a footing base elevation of approximately 172.5 feet (approximately 10 feet below existing grade). The culvert will be approximately 16 feet wide and 110 feet long with foundation loads of approximately 14.1 kips per foot (dead load) and 4.1 kips per foot (live load). Load will be spread across the single 19-foot-wide foundation, with load concentration directly under the culvert walls. The east culvert will be a curved bridge core box culvert. The culvert will be 23 feet wide and 175 feet long with a footing base elevation of approximately 169 feet (approximately 13 feet below existing grade). According to Otak, the foundation loads for the culvert will approximately 11.3 kips per foot (dead load) and 4.4 kips per foot (live load). Loads will be divided between continuous footings on either side of the culvert. In order to provide a basis for foundation recommendations, two borings were completed on west and east sides of both planned culvert locations (B-5 and B-6 for the west culvert crossing and B-8 and B-9 for the east culvert crossing). The locations of the borings are shown on Figure 2. The subsurface conditions at the west culvert location consist of an approximately 2-foot-thick pavement section underlain by medium stiff to very stiff native or fill clay. The clay extends to depths between 9 and 10 feet BGS and is underlain by very dense gravel with silt, sand, and clay to the maximum depth explored of up to 21.5 feet BGS. The subsurface conditions at the east culvert consist of an approximately 1.5- to 2-foot-thick pavement section underlain by gravel with silt, clay, and sand to the maximum depth explored of approximately 20.5 feet BGS. The gravel is medium dense to dense to a depth of 5 feet BGS then dense to very dense below that depth. 7.2 FOUNDATION Based on the plans and boring information, it is our opinion that the proposed culverts can be founded on conventional concrete spread footings resting on native dense to very dense gravel beneath the project alignment. Based on the borings, dense to very dense gravel should be

present at the anticipated elevation of the footings; however, the gravel interface of the west culvert is close to the anticipated base of the footing. Foundation excavations should extend to the native dense to very dense gravel and backfilled with granular structural fill encountered at the planned base of the footings. Provided the recommendations described above are adhered to, an allowable bearing pressure of 5,000 psf should be used to design the foundations. The recommended allowable bearing pressure applies to the total of dead plus long-term live loads and may be doubled for short-term loads, such as those resulting from wind or seismic forces. The footings should be a minimum of 24 inches wide and embedded a minimum of 18 inches below the subgrade or 12 inches below the scour depth. The culvert, weight of the overlying soil, and foundation elements should be included when sizing the foundations. Based on our experience with similar soil, total post-construction settlement should be less than 1.0 inch, with differential settlement of approximately half the total over the length of the proposed culvert. 7.3 WING WALLS Lateral loads on footings can be resisted by passive earth pressure on the sides of the structures and by friction on the base of the footings. An allowable passive earth pressure of 150 pcf may be used for footings confined by native soil and new structural fill beneath the water table. For footings in contact with crushed rock, a coefficient of friction equal to 0.4 may be used when calculating resistance to sliding. We recommend the lateral earth pressures on the culvert walls be designed as follows. If the wall is not restrained and is allowed to yield with the application of fill, then we recommend using an equivalent earth pressure of 40 pcf. For non-yielding or braced walls, we recommend using an equivalent earth pressure of 55 pcf. Based on our explorations, the groundwater at the site could within 7.5 feet of the ground surface during certain times of the year. Accordingly, the culvert walls could be below the water table and will be subject to hydrostatic forces. Due to the hydrostatic pressures, the recommended lateral earth pressures should be increased to 78 pcf and 88 pcf for unrestrained and restrained walls, respectively, where walls are constructed below the water table. In addition, a uniform vehicle traffic load of 70 psf should be applied to the backside of the culverts where they are perpendicular to vehicle traffic. All footing subgrades should be evaluated by qualified personnel to confirm suitable bearing conditions. Observations should also confirm that loose or soft material, organics, unsuitable fill, and softened subgrades (if present) have been removed. Localized deepening of footing excavations may be required to penetrate any deleterious material. 7.4 CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS 7.4.1 General Excavations on the order of 15 feet will be required to construct the culverts associated with the project. Due to the proximity to rail lines, all excavations should be performed in accordance with the AREMA Guidelines for Temporary Shoring (2004). Figure 3 provides the general excavation zones per AREMA.

Due to the distance from the railroad to the culvert, temporary slopes, shoring, or a combination of the two may be required. The following sections provide recommendations for temporary slopes and shoring. 7.4.2 Temporary Slopes Based on strength testing and soil conditions, temporary slopes of 1.5H:1V for excavations may be used to vertical depths of 10 feet or less, provided groundwater is not encountered. If seepage occurs, it might be necessary to flatten the slopes to protect the surface from raveling. All cut slopes should be protected from erosion by covering them with plastic sheeting or other stabilizing cover during the rainy season. If sloughing or instability is observed, the slope might need to be flattened or the cut supported by shoring. Excavations should not undermine adjacent utilities, foundations, walkways, streets, or other hardscapes unless special shoring or underpinned support is provided. Unsupported excavations should not be conducted within a downward and outward projection of a 1H:1V line from 2 feet outside the edge of an adjacent structural feature. 7.4.3 Temporary Cantilevered Shoring Temporary support for culvert excavations can be provided by installing cantilevered shoring. Cantilevered shoring should be designed to resist an active lateral earth pressure that has an equivalent fluid pressure of 35 pcf above the groundwater table. The pressures should be increased to 78 pcf where groundwater is not maintained below the base of the excavation. These values assume that walls can rotate slightly around their base. A passive pressure of 300 psf should be used for soil above the groundwater table. A passive pressure of 150 psf should be used for soil below the groundwater table, which should be assumed at 7.5 feet BGS. If soldier piles are used, the passive pressure should be taken over two pile diameters. If the retained soil is sloped, the recommended lateral earth pressures should be multiplied by the factors provided in Table 1.

8.0 SIGNAL POLE RECOMMENDATIONS 8.1 GENERAL We understand that mast-arm signal poles will be installed near the intersection of McGilchrist Street SE with 13th Street SE, Pringle Road SE, 22nd Street SE, and 25th Street SE. The design of traffic control structures is generally subject to the requirements of Chapter 16 to the ODOT Geotechnical Design Manual (ODOT, 2015) and Section 13 of AASHTO’s Standard Specifications for Supports for Highway Signs, Luminaires, and Traffic Signals, 6th Edition with 2015 interim revisions (AASHTO, 2013). The design recommendations for the signal poles are based on borings B-3 (McGilchrist Street SE and 13th Street SE), B-4 (McGilchrist Street SE and Pringle Road SE), B-10 (McGilchrist Street SE and 22nd Street SE), and B-11 (McGilchrist Street SE and 25th Street SE). The locations of the boring are shown on Figure 2. Based on the explorations, the soil conditions at the intersections generally consist of approximately 3 to 7.5 feet of clay underlain by gravel. The clay is soft to medium stiff and the gravel is medium dense to very dense. The gravel is silty and extends to the maximum depth explored in all borings. 8.2 DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS The foundations for most traffic signal pole foundations consist of 36- to 42-inch-diameter drilled shafts. These shafts can be designed in accordance with the Brom’s method outlined in Section 13.6 – Drilled Shafts of AASHTO (2013) or using procedures outlined in Chapter 8 of (ODOT, 2015) for lateral load analysis of deep foundations (i.e., p-y analysis). However, due to the variability of the subsurface soil at the site, it is our opinion that Brom’s method is not appropriate and a p-y analysis using the software program LPILE 6.0 should be used. The recommended parameters for design of the signal poles using LPILE 6.0 (Ensoft) are provided in Tables 2 and 3. We recommend the deflection of the foundations should be limited to ½ inch at the shaft head

9.0 MATERIALS 9.1 STRUCTURAL FILL 9.1.1 General Fill should only be placed over a subgrade that has been prepared in conformance with the “Site Preparation” section of this report. All material used as structural fill should be free of organic matter or other unsuitable material. The material should meet the specifications provided in OSSC 00330 (Earthwork), depending on the application. Unless otherwise indicated, all structural fill should have a maximum particle size of 4 inches. A brief characterization of some of the acceptable materials and our recommendations for their use as structural fill is provided below. A submittal should be made for each material prior to the start of construction. Each submittal should include the test information necessary to evaluate the degree to which the material’s properties comply with the properties that were recommended or specified. The geotechnical engineer and other appropriate members of the design team should review each submittal. 9.1.2 On-Site Soil The near-surface native silty and clayey soils are suitable for use as structural fill provided they meet the requirements provided in OSSC 00330.12 (Borrow Material). Based on laboratory test results, the moisture content of the on-site soil was significantly above optimum at the time of

our exploration. We anticipate significant moisture conditioning will be required to dry the soil to a moisture content near optimum. This will require an extended period of dry weather, typically experienced between early July and mid-October. When used as structural fill, the on-site soil should be placed in lifts with a maximum uncompacted thickness of 8 inches and compacted to not less than 92 percent of the maximum dry density, as determined by AASHTO T 99. When used as structural fill, the on-site silt or clay should be placed in lifts with a maximum uncompacted thickness of 6 to 8 inches and compacted to not less than 92 percent of the maximum dry density, as determined by AASHTO T 99. 9.1.3 Imported Granular Material Imported granular material used for structural fill should be pit- or quarry-run rock, crushed rock, or crushed gravel and sand and should meet the requirements set forth in OSSC 00330.14 (Selected Granular Backfill) and OSSC 00330.15 (Selected Stone Backfill). Imported granular material should be fairly well graded between coarse and fine material, have less than 5 percent by dry weight passing the U.S. Standard No. 200 sieve, and have at least two mechanically fractured faces. When used as structural fill, imported granular material should be placed in lifts with a maximum uncompacted thickness of 12 inches and compacted to not less than 95 percent of the maximum dry density, as determined by AASHTO T 99. 9.1.4 Trench Backfill Trench backfill for the utility pipe base and pipe zone should consist of crushed, well-graded, granular material with a maximum particle size of 1 inch and less than 5 percent by dry weight passing the U.S. Standard No. 200 sieve and should meet OSSC 00405.14 (Trench Backfill, Class B). The material should be free of roots, organic matter, and other unsuitable material. Backfill for the pipe base and pipe zone should be compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum dry density, as determined by AASHTO T 99, or as recommended by the pipe manufacturer. Within building, pavement, and other structural areas, trench backfill placed above the pipe zone should consist of imported granular material as specified above. The backfill should be compacted to at least 92 percent of the maximum dry density, as determined by AASHTO T 99, at depths greater than 2 feet below the finished subgrade and 95 percent of the maximum dry density, as determined by AASHTO T 99, within 2 feet of finished subgrade. In all other areas, trench backfill above the pipe zone should be compacted to at least 92 percent of the maximum dry density, as determined by AASHTO T 99. 9.1.5 Stabilization Material Stabilization material should consist of pit- or quarry-run rock, crushed rock, or crushed gravel and sand and should meet the requirements set forth in OSSC 00330.14 (Selected Granular Backfill) and OSSC 00330.15 (Selected Stone Backfill), consist of 4- to 6-inch-minus material, and

have less than 5 percent by dry weight passing the U.S. Standard No. 4 sieve. The material should be free of organic matter and other deleterious material. Stabilization material should be placed in one lift and compacted to a firm condition. 9.2 GEOTEXTILE FABRIC 9.2.1 Subgrade Geotextile Fabric A subgrade geotextile fabric should be placed as a barrier between the subgrade and granular material in staging areas, haul road areas, or in areas of repeated construction traffic. The geotextile should have a minimum Mullen burst strength of 250 psi for puncture resistance and an AOS between U.S. Standard No. 70 and No. 100 sieves. 9.2.2 Drainage Geotextile Fabric Drain rock and other granular material used for subsurface drains should be wrapped in a geotextile fabric that meets the specifications provided in OSSC 00350 (Geosynthetic Installation) and OSSC 02320 (Geosynthetics) for drainage geotextiles. 10.0 OBSERVATION OF CONSTRUCTION Satisfactory earthwork and pavement performance depends to a large degree on the quality of construction. Sufficient observation of the contractor's activities is a key part of determining that the work is completed in accordance with the construction drawings and specifications. Subsurface conditions observed during construction should be compared with those encountered during the subsurface explorations. Recognition of changed conditions often requires experience; therefore, qualified personnel should visit the site with sufficient frequency to determine if subsurface conditions change significantly from those anticipated. We recommend that GeoDesign be retained to observe earthwork activities, including stripping; proof rolling of the subgrade and repair of soft areas; performing laboratory compaction and field moisture-density tests; observing final proof rolling of the pavement subgrade and base rock; asphalt placement and compaction; and the placing, mixing, and compacting of any cement-amended subgrade. 11.0 LIMITATIONS We have prepared this report for use by Otak, the City of Salem, and the design and construction team for the proposed project. The report can be used for bidding or estimating purposes, but our report, conclusions, and interpretations should not be construed as warranty of the subsurface conditions and are not applicable to other sites. Soil explorations indicate soil conditions only at specific locations and only to the depths penetrated. They do not necessarily reflect soil strata or water level variations that may exist between exploration locations. If subsurface conditions differing from those described are noted during the course of excavation and construction, re-evaluation will be necessary. The site development plans and design details were not finalized at the time this report was prepared. When the design has been finalized and if there are changes in the site grades or location, configuration, design loads, or type of construction for the buildings, the conclusions

and recommendations presented may not be applicable. If design changes are made, we should be retained to review our conclusions and recommendations and to provide a written evaluation or modification. The scope of our services does not include services related to construction safety precautions, and our recommendations are not intended to direct the contractor's methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, except as specifically described in our report for consideration in design. Within the limitations of scope, schedule, and budget, our services have been executed in accordance with the generally accepted practices in this area at the time this report was prepared. No warranty or other conditions, express or implied, should be understood.

We appreciate the opportunity to be of continued service to you. Please call if you have questions concerning this report or if we can provide additional services. Sincerely, GeoDesign, Inc. Krey D. Younger, P.E., G.E. Senior Associate Engineer George Saunders, P.E., G.E. Principal Engineer

APPENDIX FIELD EXPLORATIONS GENERAL We explored the existing pavement and subsurface conditions along the roadway alignment by recovering ten pavement cores (C-1 through C-10) on November 30, 2015 by Dan J. Fischer Excavating, Inc. Borings (B-1 through B-11) were completed on November 13, December 9, and December 10, 2015 by Western States Soil Conservation. The locations of these explorations are shown on Figure 2. The pavement cores were recovered using a portable core drill with a 5-inch-diameter, diamond core barrel and were advanced with a 4-inch-diameter, solid-stem auger. The borings were completed using mud rotary method with a bit diameter of 4 7/8 inches. The explorations were backfilled in accordance with state regulations and capped with polymer modified cold-patch asphalt in existing pavement areas. The exploration logs are presented in this appendix. SOIL SAMPLING A member of our geology staff observed the explorations. We obtained representative samples of the various soil encountered in the explorations for geotechnical laboratory testing. Samples were obtained from the explorations using 1½-inch-inside diameter, split-spoon sampler (SPT). The split-spoon sampling was conducted in general accordance with ASTM D 1586. The split-spoon samplers were driven into the soil with a 140-pound hammer free-falling 30 inches. The samplers were driven a total distance of 18 inches. The number of blows required to drive the sampler the final 12 inches is recorded on the exploration logs, unless otherwise noted. In addition, higher quality, relatively undisturbed samples were obtained using a standard Shelby tube in general accordance with ASTM D 1587, the Standard Practice for Thin-walled Tube Sampling of Soils. Representative grab samples of the soil were obtained from the auger cuttings. Sample types and sampling intervals are shown on the exploration logs. We understand that calibration of the SPT hammer used by Dan J. Fischer Excavating, Inc. has not been completed. The SPT blow counts completed by Dan J. Fischer Excavating, Inc. were conducted using two wraps around the cathead. The calibration factor for the auto SPT hammer used by Western States Soil Conservation was 92.6 percent. The calibration testing results are presented at the end of this appendix. SOIL CLASSIFICATION The soil samples were classified in accordance with the “Exploration Key” (Table A-1) and “Soil Classification System” (Table A-2), which are presented in this appendix. The exploration logs indicate the depths at which the soil or its characteristics change, although the change actually could be gradual. Classifications are shown on the exploration logs.

LABORATORY TESTING CLASSIFICATION AND MOISTURE CONTENT We tested the natural moisture content of selected soil samples in general accordance with ASTM D 2216. The natural moisture content is a ratio of the weight of the water to soil in a test sample and is expressed as a percentage. The test results are presented in this appendix. ATTERBERG LIMITS The plastic limit and liquid limit (Atterberg limits) of selected samples were determined in accordance with ASTM D 4318. The Atterberg limits and the plasticity index were completed to aid in the classification of the soil. The plastic limit is defined as the moisture content (in percent) where the soil becomes brittle. The liquid limit is defined as the moisture content where the soil begins to act similar to a liquid. The plasticity index is the difference between the liquid and plastic limits. The test results are presented in this appendix.
