staff.

• Question: Does the new SCADA system get integrated with the Buckman Water Treatment Plant

SCADA system?

Response: No.

Questions / Clarifications:

1. Question: Can the mixing manufacture furnish alternative bid for the digester recirculation pumps.

This is a typical chopper pump application, which would be cost saving to the customer. This would

eliminate the specified rotary lobe pump and unneeded quantity two inline grinders. If so, please

provide the exact duty point that’s required (I.E Flow/TDH).

Response: Only the equipment as specified will be approved. No alternative type of equipment will

be considered for any equipment specified for the project.

2. Question: 40 90 05.3.19.D- Per this section the digester should have a foam suppression nozzle and

scum nozzle, the contract drawing don’t reflect these particular items as they aren’t shown. Lastly A

foam buster typically isn’t used in conjunction with a floating cover, and must be eliminated. Since

all nozzle must be located below the Minimum side water depth, an Scum nozzle could be located at

and/or below the concrete corbels.

Response: The foam suppression system is not required and is removed by this addendum.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This geotechnical executive summary should be used in conjunction with the entire report for design and/or construction purposes. It should be recognized that specific details were not included or fully developed in this section, and the report must be read in its entirety for a comprehensive understanding of the items contained herein. The section titled General Comments should be read for an understanding of the report limitations. A geotechnical exploration has been performed for the proposed City of Santa Fe Anaerobic Digester Tanks and Equipment Building project located at the Paseo Real Wastewater Treatment Plant at 73 Paseo Real in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Terracon’s geotechnical scope of work included the advancement of five (5) test borings to depths ranging from approximately 51-½ to 70-½ feet below existing site grades. Based on the information obtained from our subsurface exploration, the site is suitable for development of the proposed project. The following geotechnical considerations were identified: Site Development: An existing abandoned clarifier tank, structures, pavements and gravel are located within or directly adjacent to the project site. These structures and elements will need to be removed prior to new construction. Existing below ground utilities within and adjacent to the site were observed and should be considered in the design and development of the project. Site Soils: The site soils generally consisted of sand with varying amounts of silt, clay, and gravel, silt with varying amounts of sand and gravel, lean clay with varying amounts of sand and gravel. On-site soils should be suitable for use as engineered fill or as backfill against structures and foundations. Extra processing effort will likely be required for the clayey soils to produce a uniform engineered fill material. Foundations: Based on the geotechnical engineering analyses, subsurface exploration and laboratory test results, the proposed tanks may be supported on a concrete slab with perimeter thickened edges bearing on undisturbed native soils. The equipment building may be supported on shallow foundation systems consisting of spread/continuous footings or mat foundation bearing on prepared subgrade or a zone of engineered fill. Floor Slabs: The on-site near surface soils are expected to exhibit non- to low expansive and low settlement potentials when compacted and subjected to light loading conditions such as those imposed by floor slabs. Construction of floor slabs associated with the equipment building supported on footings should bear prepared subgrade or a zone of engineered fill, provided some movement can be tolerated. Earthwork on the project should be observed and evaluated by Terracon or a qualified geotechnical engineer. The evaluation of earthwork should include observation and testing of engineered fill, subgrade preparation, foundation bearing soils, and other geotechnical conditions exposed during construction.

3.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS

3.1 Typical Subsurface Profile

Specific conditions encountered at each boring location are indicated on the individual boring logs.

Stratification boundaries on the boring logs represent the approximate location of changes in soil

types; in-situ, the transition between materials may be gradual. Details for each of the borings can

be found on the boring logs included in Appendix A of this report. Based on the results of the

borings, subsurface conditions on the project site can be generalized as follows:

Description Approximate Depth to

Bottom of Stratum (feet) Material Encountered Consistency/Density

Stratum 1 6-½ to 23 Sand. The clay, silt and

gravel content varied Loose to Medium Dense

Stratum 2 7-½ to 47-½

Lean clay. The sand and

gravel content varied.

Silt. The sand and gravel

content varied

Medium Stiff to Hard

Stratum 3 51-½ to 70-½ Sand. The clay, silt and

gravel content varied

Medium Dense to Very

Dense

The subsurface sand and silt soils were non-plastic to medium in plasticity. The subsurface clay

soils were medium in plasticity.

Laboratory tests were conducted on selected soil samples and the test results are presented in

Appendix B. Laboratory test results indicate that the surface and near surface soils exhibit low

compressibility potentials at in-situ moisture contents and a low tendency for compression and a

non-tendency for expansion when wetted and under anticipated foundation loads. When water

is added to samples of laboratory compacted near-surface soils, we anticipate that the

compacted soils will exhibit low compression and non- to low expansive potential when

subjected to light loading conditions such as those imposed by floor slabs.

Laboratory test results indicate that on-site soils exhibit resistivity values of 1,460 and 2,50 ohm-

centimeters, pH values of about 8.3 and 8.6 and soluble sulfate concentrations of 36 to 110

mg/kg.

3.2 Groundwater

Groundwater was observed in the test borings at depths ranging from about 41 to 63 feet below

existing site grade at the time of field exploration. These observations represent groundwater

conditions at the time of the field exploration and may not be indicative of other times, or at

other locations. Groundwater conditions can change with varying seasonal and weather

conditions, and other factors.

Zones of perched and/or trapped groundwater may also occur at times in the subsurface sand

soils overlying clay soils. The location and amount of perched water is dependent upon several

factors, including hydrologic conditions, type of site development, irrigation demands on or

adjacent to the site, fluctuations in water features, seasonal and weather conditions.

Fluctuations in groundwater levels can best be determined by implementation of a groundwater

monitoring plan. Such a plan would include installation of groundwater monitoring wells, and

periodic measurement of groundwater levels over a sufficient period of time.

4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

4.1 Geotechnical Considerations

The site appears suitable for the proposed construction based upon geotechnical conditions

encountered in the test borings. The existing soils exhibit a low tendency for compression and a

non- to low tendency for expansion when wetted and under anticipated foundation loads will

require particular attention in the design and construction.

Existing buildings, structures, gravel and pavements are located within or directly adjacent to

the project site. These structures and elements will need to be removed prior to new

construction. Existing below ground utilities within and adjacent to the site were observed and

should be considered in the design and development of the project.

Based on the geotechnical engineering analyses, subsurface exploration and laboratory test

results, the proposed tanks may be supported on a concrete slab with perimeter thickened

edges and/or interior footings bearing on undisturbed native soils. The equipment building may

be supported on shallow foundation systems consisting of spread/continuous footings or mat

foundation bearing on prepared subgrade or a zone of engineered fill. Slab-on-grade may be

used for the interior floor system associated with the equipment building supported on footings

should bear on prepared subgrade or a zone of engineered fill, provided some movement can

be tolerated.

On-site soils should be suitable for use as engineered fill and to backfill foundations. Extra

processing effort will likely be required for the clayey soils to produce a uniform engineered fill

material.

Geotechnical engineering recommendations for the foundation systems and other earth

connected phases of the project are outlined below. The recommendations contained in this

report are based upon the results of field and laboratory testing (which are presented in

Appendices A and B), engineering analyses, and our current understanding of the proposed

project.

4.2 Earthwork

The following presents recommendations for site preparation, excavation, subgrade preparation

and placement of engineered fills on the project. The recommendations presented for design

and construction of earth supported elements including foundations, slabs and pavements are

contingent upon following the recommendations outlined in this section.

Earthwork on the project should be observed and evaluated by Terracon or a qualified

geotechnical engineer. The evaluation of earthwork should include observation and testing of

engineered fill, subgrade preparation, foundation bearing soils, and other geotechnical

conditions exposed during the construction of the project.

4.2.1 Site Preparation

Strip and remove the existing structures (where applicable), pavements, vegetation, gravel, and

other deleterious materials from proposed new tank and building areas. Exposed surfaces

should be free of mounds and depressions which could prevent uniform compaction.

Demolition of existing structures should include complete removal within the proposed

construction area. All materials derived from the demolition of existing structures and elements

should be removed from the site, and not be allowed for use in any on-site fills unless

adequately processed and blended with on-site or imported soils.

Stripped materials consisting of vegetation and organic materials should be wasted from the

site, or used to revegetate landscaped areas or exposed slopes after completion of grading

operations. Organic materials (if encountered) on-site should be placed in non-structural areas,

and in fill sections not exceeding 5 feet in height.

The site should be initially graded to create a relatively level surface to receive fill, and to

provide for a relatively uniform thickness of fill beneath proposed structures.

Evidence of underground facilities and utilities was observed during the site reconnaissance.

Therefore, such features could be encountered during construction. If loose or soft fills or

underground facilities (to be abandoned) are encountered, such features should be removed

and the excavation thoroughly cleaned prior to backfill placement and/or construction.

4.2.2 Excavation

It is anticipated that the shallow excavations planned for the proposed construction can be

accomplished with conventional earthmoving equipment.

Based on the results from the soil borings, we do not anticipate groundwater control measures

will be necessary in excavations up to about 41 feet below existing site grades. However,

depending upon depth of excavation and seasonal conditions, groundwater may be

encountered at shallower depths in excavations on the site. Pumping from sumps may be

utilized to control water within excavations.

On-site soils may pump or become unstable or unworkable at high water contents. Workability

may be improved by scarifying and drying, this condition is likely as excavations approach

groundwater conditions. Overexcavation of wet zones and replacement with granular materials

may be necessary. Lightweight excavation equipment may be required to reduce subgrade

pumping.

Use of lime, fly ash, kiln dust, cement or geotextiles could also be considered as a stabilization

technique. Laboratory evaluation is recommended to determine the effect of chemical

stabilization on subgrade soils prior to construction.

The individual contractor(s) is responsible for designing and constructing stable, temporary

excavations as required to maintain stability of both the excavation sides and bottom.

Excavations should be sloped or shored in the interest of safety following local, and federal

regulations, including current OSHA excavation and trench safety standards.

4.2.3 Subgrade Preparation

Exposed areas which will receive fill (if applicable), once properly cleared, should be scarified to

a minimum depth of 10 inches, conditioned to near optimum moisture content, and compacted.

Subgrade preparation and engineered fill placement below foundations and floor slabs should

be performed in accordance with Sections 4.3 and 4.5.

Areas of loose/soft soils may be encountered at foundation bearing depth after excavation is

completed for foundations. When such conditions exist beneath planned foundation areas, the

subgrade soils should be surficially compacted prior to placement of the foundation system. If

sufficient compaction cannot be achieved in-place, the loose/soft soils should be removed and

replaced as engineered fill. For placement of engineered fill below foundation, the excavation

should be widened laterally, at least eight inches for each foot of fill placed below foundation

base elevations.

Subgrade soils beneath exterior slabs and pavements should be scarified, moisture conditioned

and compacted to a minimum depth of eight (8) inches. The moisture content and compaction

of subgrade soils should be maintained until slab construction.

4.2.4 Fill Materials and Placement

All fill materials should be inorganic soils free of vegetation, debris, and fragments larger than

six inches in size. Pea gravel or other similar non-cementitious, poorly-graded materials should

not be used as fill or backfill without the prior approval of the geotechnical engineer.

Clean on-site soils or approved imported materials may be used as fill material for the following:

general site grading exterior slab areas

foundation areas foundation backfill

interior floor slab areas

Sand soils should be used as backfill against below ground walls to reduce lateral earth

pressures and settlement.

Extra processing effort will likely be required for the clayey soils to produce a uniform

engineered fill material.

Imported soils for use as fill material within proposed structure areas should conform to low

volume change materials as indicated in the following specifications:

Engineered fill should be placed and compacted in horizontal lifts, using equipment and

procedures that will produce recommended moisture contents and densities throughout the lift.

Fill lifts should not exceed eight (8) inches loose thickness.

4.2.5 Compaction Requirements

Recommended compaction and moisture content criteria for engineered fill materials are as

Beneath slabs: 95 -3% +3%

Beneath pavements: 95 -3% +3%

Aggregate base 95 -3% +3%

Miscellaneous backfill 90 -3% +3%

4.2.6 Grading and Drainage

All grades must provide effective drainage away from the structures during and after

construction. Water permitted to pond next to the structures can result in greater soil

movements than those discussed in this report. These greater movements can result in

unacceptable differential floor slab movements, cracked slabs and walls, and roof leaks.

Estimated movements described in this report are based on effective drainage for the life of the

structure and cannot be relied upon if effective drainage is not maintained.

Exposed ground should be sloped at a minimum 5 percent away from the structures for at least

5 feet beyond the perimeter of the structures. In the area of the existing solids dewatering

facility, exposed ground should be sloped at a minimum 2 percent away from the structure for at

least 5 feet beyond the perimeter of the structure. After construction and landscaping (if

applicable), we recommend verifying final grades to document that effective drainage has been

achieved. Grades around the structures should also be periodically inspected and adjusted as

necessary, as part of the structure’s maintenance program.

Flatwork will be subject to post construction movement. Maximum grades practical should be

used for flatwork to prevent water from ponding. Allowances in final grades should also

consider post-construction movement of flatwork, particularly if such movement would be

critical. Where flatwork abuts the structures, effectively seal and maintain joints to prevent

surface water infiltration.

4.2.7 Corrosion Potential

Results of soluble sulfate testing (36 to 110 mg/kg) indicate that ASTM Type I-II or II Portland

cement should be specified for all concrete on and below grade. Foundation concrete should

be designed for moderate sulfate exposure in accordance with the provisions of the ACI Design

Manual, Section 318, Chapter 4.

Laboratory test results indicate that on-site soils exhibit resistivity values of 1,460 and 2,050

ohm-centimeters and pH values of about 8.3 to 8.6 Criteria published by the Cast Iron Pipe

Research Institute indicates that the near surface subgrade soils generally have a low to

moderate corrosive potential to cause corrosion to buried ferrous materials. Review of data

published by the National Association of Corrosion Engineers indicates that the resistivity places

the soils in the mild to moderate corrosive category. If there is concern regarding pipe corrosion,

the use of PVC or poly-wrap should be considered. Refer to Summary of Laboratory Results

contained in Appendix B for the complete results of the corrosivity testing conducted on the site

soils in conjunction with this geotechnical exploration.

4.3 Foundation Recommendations

The proposed tanks may be supported on a concrete slab with perimeter thickened edges

bearing on undisturbed native soils. The equipment building may be supported on shallow

foundation systems consisting of spread/continuous footings or mat foundation bearing on

prepared subgrade or a zone of engineered fill. The design recommendations are discussed

below.

Finished grade is defined as the lowest adjacent grade within five (5) feet of the foundation for

perimeter (or exterior) foundations and finished floor level for interior foundations. The

allowable foundation bearing pressures apply to dead loads plus design live load conditions.

The design bearing pressure may be increased by one-third when considering total loads that

include wind or seismic conditions. The weight of the foundation concrete below grade may be

neglected in dead load computations.

Foundations should be proportioned to reduce differential foundation movement. Proportioning

on the basis of equal total settlement is recommended; however, proportioning to relative

constant dead-load pressure will also reduce differential settlement between adjacent

foundations. Additional foundation movements could occur if water from any source infiltrates

the foundation soils; therefore, proper drainage should be provided in the final design and

during construction.

Footings, foundations, and masonry walls should be reinforced as necessary to reduce the

potential for distress caused by differential foundation movement. The use of joints at openings

or other discontinuities in masonry walls is recommended.

Foundation excavations and engineered fill placement operations (if applicable) should be

observed by a geotechnical engineer. If the soil conditions encountered differ significantly from

those presented in this report, supplemental recommendations will be required.

4.3.2 Footings or Mat Foundation Construction Considerations

The recommended depth of subgrade preparation or zone of engineered fill placed and

compacted below foundations should be in accordance with Section 4.3.1.

If unsuitable bearing soils are encountered in foundation excavations, the excavations should be

extended deeper to suitable soils and the foundations could bear directly on these soils at the

lower level or on lean concrete backfill placed in the excavations. The foundations could also

bear on properly compacted backfill extending down to the suitable soils. Overexcavation for

compacted backfill placement below foundations should extend laterally beyond all edges of the

foundations at least eight (8) inches per foot of overexcavation depth below foundation base

elevation. The overexcavation should then be backfilled up to the foundation base elevation

with well-graded granular material placed in lifts of 10 inches or less in loose thickness and

compacted to at least 95 percent of the material's maximum modified Proctor dry density (ASTM

D-1557). The overexcavation and backfill procedure is described in the figure below.

that dense or denser soil continues below the maximum depth of the subsurface exploration. Additional exploration to

deeper depths would be required to confirm the conditions below the current depth of exploration.

4.5 Floor Slab

4.5.1 Design Recommendations

DESCRIPTION VALUE

Interior floor system Slab-on-grade concrete.

Floor slab support 12” of prepared subgrade or engineered fill

Subbase Subgrade

Modulus of subgrade reaction

150 pounds per square inch per inch (psi/in) (The modulus was

obtained based on our experience with similar subgrade

conditions, and estimates obtained from ACI design charts.)

Construction of floor slabs directly on prepared subgrade or a zone of engineered fill is

considered acceptable for the project. Some movement of a slab-on-grade floor system is

possible should the subgrade soils become elevated in moisture content due to the

compression potential of the near surface soils. Additional slab movements could occur if water

infiltrates the soils; therefore, proper drainage must be provided in the final design. To reduce

potential slab movements, the subgrade soils should be prepared as outlined in the earthwork

section of this report.

In areas of exposed concrete, control joints should be saw cut into the slab after concrete

placement in accordance with ACI Design Manual, Section 302.1R-37 8.3.12 (tooled control

joints are not recommended). Additionally, dowels should be placed at the location of proposed

construction joints. To control the width of cracking (should it occur) continuous slab

reinforcement should be considered in exposed concrete slabs.

Positive separations and/or isolation joints should be provided between slabs and all

foundations, columns or utility lines to allow independent movement. Interior trench backfill

placed beneath slabs should be compacted in accordance with recommendations outlined in the

Earthwork section of this report. Other design and construction considerations, as outlined in

the ACI Design Manual, Section 302.1R are recommended.

4.5.2 Construction Considerations

For the equipment building supported on footings, 12 inches of prepared subgrade or

engineered fill is recommended beneath the floor slab. Some differential movement of a slab-

on-grade floor system is possible should the subgrade soils become elevated in moisture

content. Such movements are anticipated to be within general tolerance for normal slab-on-

grade construction. To reduce potential slab movements, the floor system should be supported

on a zone of engineered fill.

Any loose fill should be recompacted prior to construction. The engineered fill and subgrade

soils should be placed as outlined in the Earthwork section of this report. On-site soils are

suitable for use as engineered fill.

4.6 Lateral Earth Pressures

4.6.1 Design Recommendations

For soils above any free water surface, recommended equivalent fluid pressures for

unrestrained foundation elements when using on-site soils as backfill are:

ITEM SOIL TYPE VALUE

Active Case On-site sand soils

On-site clay soils

35 psf/ft

45 psf/ft

Passive Case On-site sand soils

On-site clay soils

400 psf/ft

300 psf/ft

At-Rest Case On-site sand soils

On-site clay soils

55 psf/ft

65 psf/ft

Coefficient of Base Friction On-site soils 0.351

1Note: The coefficient of base friction should be reduced to 0.30 when used in conjunction with passive pressure.

The lateral earth pressures herein do not include any factor of safety and are not applicable for

submerged soils/hydrostatic loading. Additional recommendations may be necessary if such

conditions are to be included in the design.

Fill against foundations (if applicable) should be compacted to densities specified in the

Earthwork section of this report. Compaction of each lift adjacent to walls should be

accomplished with hand-operated tampers or other lightweight compactors.

Field Exploration Description

A total of five (5) test borings were drilled at the site on April 14 and 15, 2016. The borings were

drilled to depths of approximately 51-½ to 70-½ feet below the ground surface at the

approximate locations shown on the attached Site Location Map and Boring Location Plan. The

test borings were located as follows:

Borings Location Depths (feet)

B-01, B-02 and B-05 Anaerobic Digester Tanks 51-½ to 66

B-03 and B-04 Building 66-½ to 70-½

The test borings were advanced with a truck-mounted CME-75 drill rig utilizing 8-inch diameter

hollow-stem augers.

The borings were located in the field by using the proposed site plan of the site and measuring

from existing site features. Boring locations were adjusted due to existing underground utilities

and site access limitations. The latitude and longitude were determined at each boring location

using a hand held GPS unit. The accuracy of boring locations should only be assumed to the

level implied by the method used.

Lithologic logs of each boring were recorded by the field engineer during the drilling operations.

At selected intervals, samples of the subsurface materials were taken by driving split-spoon or

ring-barrel samplers.

Penetration resistance measurements were obtained by driving the split-spoon and ring-barrel

samplers into the subsurface materials with a 140-pound manual hammer falling 30 inches.

The penetration resistance value is a useful index in estimating the consistency or relative

density of materials encountered.

A CME automatic SPT hammer was used to advance the split-barrel sampler in the borings

performed on this site. The effect of the automatic hammer's efficiency has been considered in

the interpretation and analysis of the subsurface information for this report.

Groundwater conditions were evaluated in each boring at the time of site exploration. For safety

considerations, the borings were backfilled upon the completion of drilling.

DESCRIPTIVE SOIL CLASSIFICATION

> 8,000

Unless otherwise noted, Latitude and Longitude are approximately determined using a hand-held GPS device. The accuracyof such devices is variable. Surface elevation data annotated with +/- indicates that no actual topographical survey wasconducted to confirm the surface elevation. Instead, the surface elevation was approximately determined from topographicmaps of the area.

Soil classification is based on the Unified Soil Classification System. Coarse Grained Soils have more than 50% of their dryweight retained on a #200 sieve; their principal descriptors are: boulders, cobbles, gravel or sand. Fine Grained Soils haveless than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; they are principally described as clays if they are plastic, andsilts if they are slightly plastic or non-plastic. Major constituents may be added as modifiers and minor constituents may beadded according to the relative proportions based on grain size. In addition to gradation, coarse-grained soils are definedon the basis of their in-place relative density and fine-grained soils on the basis of their consistency.

Laboratory Testing

Samples retrieved during the field exploration were taken to the laboratory for further

observation by the project geotechnical engineer and were classified in accordance with the

Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) described in Appendix A. At that time, the field

descriptions were confirmed or modified as necessary and an applicable laboratory testing

program was formulated to determine engineering properties of the subsurface materials.

Laboratory tests were conducted on selected soil samples and the test results are presented in

this appendix. The laboratory test results were used for the geotechnical engineering analyses,

and the development of foundation and earthwork recommendations. Laboratory tests were

performed in general accordance with the applicable ASTM, local or other accepted standards.

Selected soil samples obtained from the site were tested for the following engineering

properties:

Consolidation/Compression In-situ Dry Density

Sieve Analysis Resistivity

Atterberg Limits

pH

Soluble Sulfates

Hall Environmental Analysis Laboratory received 2 sample(s) on 4/20/2016 for the analyses presented in the following report.

Andy Freeman

These were analyzed according to EPA procedures or equivalent. To access our accredited tests please go to www.hallenvironmental.com or the state specific web sites. In order to properly interpret your results it is imperative that you review this report in its entirety. See the sample checklist and/or the Chain of Custody for information regarding the sample receipt temperature and preservation. Data qualifiers or a narrative will be provided if the sample analysis or analytical quality control parameters require a flag. When necessary, data qualifers are provided on both the sample analysis report and the QC summary report, both sections should be reviewed. All samples are reported, as received, unless otherwise indicated. Lab measurement of analytes considered field parameters that require analysis within 15 minutes of sampling such as pH and residual chlorine are qualified as being analyzed outside of the recommended holding time.

Please don't hesitate to contact HEAL for any additional information or clarifications.
