REVISED GEOTECHNICAL SCOPE AND BUDGET
CITY OF BREMERTON
NAD PARK LANDSLIDE EVALUATION
INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The following presents our geoteclmical scope and budget for the City of Bremerton NAD Park Landslide
Evaluation. Our understanding of this project is based on our discussion with you and a brief visit to the
project site.
The NAD Park is located on the west bank of Ostrich Bay, south of the Jackson Park Naval Reserve in
the City of Bremerton. The park was developed in the 1950's following the de-commissioning of a naval
ammunition depository facility. The park is accessed from the south on Shomwood Drive. To the west
of Shorewood Drive are moderately steep and heavily forested trails. To the east of Shorewood Drive is
an approximate 10 to 15 foot high slope that declines at a moderate to steep inclination to the beach.
We unders~tand that since about 1995, you have observed signs of slope instability between Shorewood
Drive and the downslope beachfront. Slope movement indicators include pavement cracking and
displacement at the top of the slope, development of a head scarp and movement of a concrete crib basket
retention system located at the toe of the slope. During our site visit on August 26, 2004, we observed
soil slumps on the order of 8 to 30 inches near the top of the slope. In addition, several of the crib baskets
have fallen over at the toe of the slope.
We understand you have recently received funding to protect an existing water line beneath Shorewood
Drive. Prior to repairing the slope or relocating the waterline, we understand you are interested in a pre-
design study that provides an opinion regarding the extent of the existing landslide mass and the potential
for future movement that could adversely affect the waterline. You also requested preliminary
recommendations to improve the stability of the slope.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our scope of services for this project includes investigating subsurface conditions at the top and toe of the
slope, providing an opinion regarding potential for future slope movements to threaten the waterline,
installing a slope inclinometer to monitor slide movement and providing preliminary recommendations to
improve the stability of the existing slope. Specifically, our scope will include the following:
1. Advance a maximum of two (2) hollow-stem auger boring explorations using a trailer-mounted
drill rig near the headscarp of the landslide. Relatively undisturbed soil samples will be collected
in the first boring on a continuous sampling interval to a depth of approximately 30 to 40 feet
below existing grade. Relatively undisturbed soil samples will be collected in the second boring
on a maximum 5 foot sampling interval to a depth of approximately 30 to 40 feet below existing
grade. We will notify the One-Call Utility Notification Center and request a utility locate a
minimum of two full working days prior to arriving on the site. We request the City provide all
available information for utilities in the project area. Depending on the results of our review of
the available information provided by the City, it may be appropriate to delete one of the
proposed explorations if this is acceptable to both the City and GeoEngineers.
2. Advance up to two (2) hollow-stem auger boring explorations using "acker" portable drilling
equipment near the toe of the existing slope. Continuous sampling of subsurface conditions will
be completed in the first boring using a split spoon sampler to depth of approximately 15 to 20
File No 0892-015-00 Page 1 (~EOENGtNEER~
September 15, 2004
feet below existing grade. Soil samples will be collected in the second boring using a split spoon
sampler on a maximum 2 Y2 foot sampling interval to a depth of approximately 15 to 20 feet
below existing grade. Depending on the results of our review of the available information
provided by the City, it may be appropriate to delete one of the proposed explorations if this is
acceptable to both the City and GeoEngineers.
3. Installation of a slope inclinometer casing near the top of the slope. Following installation of the
inclinometer casing, we will return to the site to obtain baseline measurements of the inclinometer
casing. For estimating purposes, we propose to install casing to approximately 40 feet below
existing grade. We also propose two (2) additional site visits to check the inclinometer casing for
movement to obtain additional information on landslide geometry and stability. We understand
you may elect not to have an inclinometer casing installed. We will contact you after reviewing
the utility data to discuss this option before we mobilize to perform subsurface explorations.
4. Perform a reconnaissance of the site to document surface and landslide features at the site. We
require the City to provide a topographic survey of the site for our study.
5. Laboratory testing to evaluate pertinent engineering properties of the encountered materials. We
anticipate our testing could include moisture content and dry density determinations, gradation
analysis and Atterberg limit testing, as appropriate.
6. Evaluate the stability of the proposed slope under current and estimated future conditions. We
will provide an opinion regarding potential for future slope movements to threaten the existing
waterline.
7. Prepare a final report presenting the results of our study including:
· A summary of existing conditions at the site as encountered in our explorations and site
reconnaissance.
· An assessment of the risk to the existing utilities in the event of additional movement of the
landslide.
· Discussion of typical measures to improve stability of the embankment, as necessary and
appropriate.
· Recommendations for future inclinometer readings, as appropriate.
We will provide two copies of our report, unless otherwise requested. Inclinometer casing measurements
obtained after submitting our report will be transmitted with a brief summary memorandum. Two copies
will be provided unless otherwise requested.
Additional engineering services will include specific tasks requested by the City of Bremerton during the
course of the project. Upon request by the City, a scope of services and budget estimate for each
individual task will be defined at the time of written authorization. No work will be completed on these
tasks without prior written authorization from the City.
BUDGET
We understand our services will be authorized under a City of Bremerton Professional Services
Agreement with mutually agreed upon changes. Our fee estimate to complete the services described
above is presented in Attachment A. Our estimated personnel hours by task are summarized in
Attachment B.

REVISED GEOTECHNICAL SCOPE AND BUDGET
CITY OF BREMERTON
MCKENNA FALLS EMBANKMENT IMPROVEMENTS
FILE NO. 0892-014-00
INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The following presents our geotechnical scope and budget for the City of Bremerton McKenna Falls
Embankment Improvements. Our understanding of this project is based on our discussion with you and a
brief visit to the project site.
McKenna Falls is located off West McKenna Falls Road, south of the Union River Reservoir in west
Bremerton. We understand the Union River Reservoir is the primary water source for the City of
Bremerton. West McKenna Falls Road extends across a small creek located west of West Old Belfair
Valley Road. A circular concrete culvert conveys the creek beneath the roadway. The culvert appears to
bear on a basalt rock outcrop that is visible in the creekbed upstream and downstream of the embankment.
The roadway embankment top is on the order of 10 to 15 feet above the creek elevation. The water line
from the reservoir is located beneath West McKenna Falls Road. An underground power line also
extends through the embankment below West McKenna Falls Road.
Based on our conversations with you and our observations at the site, the roadway embankment on the
downstream side is supported by a timber crib wall above the concrete culvert. Both ends of the crib wall
are currently being partially retained by trees that are in front of the wall. Indications of raveling of the
soil were observed below and behind the wall. In addition, the timber cribs appear to be in poor
condition. We understand you are concerned about the stability of the timber crib wall and the potential
for damage to the existing utility lines should the timber crib wall fail entirely.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our scope of services for this project includes investigating subsurface conditions at the top and in front
of the embankment on the downstream side of the road as a basis for providing recommendations to
stabilize the embankment and protect on-site utilities. Based on our discussions with you and our
observations, we envision the embankment would be stabilized by constructing a new gravity retaining
wall at, or more likely downstream of the existing timber crib wall. Prior to designing the wall and after
we have completed our site exploration, we will meet with you to discuss our opinion regarding the
potential for damage to the on-site utilities if no improvements are completed. We will also discuss
feasible embankment support option(s), and other construction considerations associated with the repair.
Construction issues we will consider include feasibility of using temporary cut slopes and the need for
temporary shoring; potential need for extending the existing culvert and feasibility of removing the
existing crib wall to accomplish the repair. The objective will be to accomplish the repairs without the
need for temporary shoring, if feasible. Specifically, our scope will include the following:
1. Advance two (2) hollow-stem auger boring explorations through the embankment using a trailer-
mounted drill rig on the south side of West McKenna Falls Road on either side of the culvert
crossing. Relatively undisturbed soil samples will be collected at approximate 5-foot intervals.
The borings will be drilled to refusal on rock that we anticipate will be encountered 10 to 15 feet
below road grade. We will notify the One-Call Utility Notification Center and request a utility
locate a minimum of two full working days prior to arriving on the site. We request the City
provide all available information for utilities in the project area.

2. Perform a reconnaissance of the site to map the contact between soil and rock and classify rock in
general accordance with the Unified Rock Classification System. We will also use Dynamic
Cone Penetrometer hand equipment to estimate the depth to rock at selected locations where
overburden is present above the rock. We request the City provide a topographic survey of the
site prior to our field investigation.
3. Lab~rat~rytestingt~eva~uatepertinentengineeringpr~perties~ftheenc~unteredmateria~s. We
anticipate our testing will be limited to moisture content and gradation analysis.
4. Evaluate the stability of the downstream embankment and assess feasibility options for stabilizing
the embankment, as necessary. Our evaluation will focus on potential for damage to the existing
utilities should the timber crib wall fail entirely. We will require the City to provide information
regarding the type, size, location and elevation of the pipe inverts to complete our assessment.
5. Meet with you to discuss the results of our investigation, our opinion regarding the stability of the
embankment slope with respect to the on-site utilities and our recommendations for repair of the
embankment, as necessary. The objective of the meeting will be to discuss, identify and
determine the type, size and location of the new retaining wall or alternative support system
commensurate with the goals of protecting the existing utilities and eliminating the need for
temporary shoring, if feasible. Assuming repair of the downstream embankment will be required,
we will be prepared to discuss:
the type, size and location of a new gravity retaining wall or alternative support system,
· budget level cost estimates for each alternative considered,
· the removal of the trees on the embankment and feasibility of partial removal of the existing
timber crib wall before constructing a replacement wall or other support system, and
· need for temporary shoring to protect the existing utilities during construction.
· We will prepare a summary memorandum of our meeting with the City that will include a
brief description of each alternative considered (including the "no action" alternative), the
benefits of each system and the criteria for selection of the final system. Two copies of the
memorandum will be provided.
6. Prepare a final report presenting the results of our study including geotechnical design criteria for
the selected design option. Our final report will include:
· A summary of existing conditions at the site as encountered in our explorations and site
reconnaissance.
· An assessment of the risk to the existing utilities should the existing retaining system fail.
· The permitting requirements for the selected alternative. Specifically we will discuss
different agencies and possible permits that may be required in order to construct the selected
alternative.
· A construction cost estimate for the selected alternative.
We will provide two copies of our report, unless otherwise requested.
Upon approval from the City of Bremerton, we will prepare design plans and specifications for the
selected design alternative commensurate with the scope of services described above. We anticipate our
design plans and specifications will be incorporated into the City's design plans and specifications that
will be published for bidding and construction. Based on our previous experience, we anticipate
providing a full size plan sheet that will include a vicinity map, site plan, elevation view and typical
File No 0892-014 O0 Page 2 GEOI~blGINIEIEgS~

design details for construction of the selected repair option. Additional plan sheets will be included as
necessary and appropriate. Project specifications will include earthwork and backfill material
requirements and construction requirements with respect to geotectmical aspects of the selected repair
option. Project specifications will be provided using the CSI or WSDOT format. For budgeting
purposes, we estimate project plans and specifications will be subjected to one review by the City of
Bremerton. Mutually agreed upon revisions will be included into the final version of the project plans
and specifications. We will provide two copies of the project plans and specifications unless otherwise
requested.
Additional engineering services will include specific tasks requested by the City of Bremerton during the
course of the project. Upon request by the City, a scope of service and budget estimate for each
individual task will be developed at the time of written authorization. No work will be completed on
these tasks without prior written authorization from the City.
BUDGET
We understand our services will be authorized under a City of Bremerton Professional Services
Agreement with mutually agreed upon changes. Our fee estimate to complete the services described
above is presented in Attachment A. Our estimated personnel hours by task are summarized in
Attachment B.
We anticipate fieldwork for this project could be combined with the NAD Park Landslide Investigation.
The scope and budget for NAD Park Landslide Investigation is presented under a separate cover. If the
field investigations are completed under a single mobilization, there would be a potential cost savings.
Please call if you have questions or require additional information.
