2.01 The Project for which the Work under the Contract Documents may be the whole or only a part is generally described as follows:

CITY OF GRIFFIN

BID #24-007

$1,000.00 for each day that expires after the time specified in Paragraph 4.02 above for

Substantial Completion until the Work is substantially complete. After Substantial Completion, if Contractor shall neglect, refuse, or fail to complete the remaining Work within the Contract

1.0 SUMMARY

The following is a summary of our pertinent findings and preliminary recommendations. The reader is referred to the remaining text of this report for elaboration on these items.

1. Two arch bottomless culverts are planned to replace existing narrow concrete bridges at the Griffin

Golf Course. The property appears generally suitable for the proposed construction, from a geotechnical standpoint. A thick layer of loose to medium dense residual soils was encountered below the anticipated culvert wall foundation levels. We anticipate light capacity piles may be required for culvert support, but this will depend on the anticipated structural loads and configuration of the culverts and the settlement tolerances which have not been provided at this phase.

2. General subsurface conditions encountered at the east bridge consist of an upper 5 to 13 feet of soft to firm fill and alluvium underlain by loose to medium dense residual soils to average depths of about

35 feet where dense soils, partially weathered rock and auger refusal were encountered. At the west bridge, soft fill was encountered to 6 feet underlain by loose residuum to weathered rock at 23 feet and then auger refusal.

4. Soils excavated to reach the culvert sidewall foundations will be wet variable fills. We recommend imported soils be used to backfill the culvert and establish grades. Planned borrow soils should be approved by the geotechnical engineer.

5. This report is preliminary, and the final design should not be based on this report without the approval of the geotechnical engineer.

2.0 PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION

The planned construction will be the replacement of two narrow concrete bridges south of Camp Northern

Road (aka Pimento Avenue) at the Griffin City Golf Course. For reference the bridges have the following approximate latitude and longitude.

Bridge Designation Latitude Longitude

East Bridge 33o 14.033’ N 84o 16.310’ W

West Bridge 33o 14.024’ N 84o 16.376’ W

The bridges will be replaced with bottomless arch culverts. No information on the culvert sizes has been provided so no information on the anticipated structural loads for the culverts can be estimated, and at this time no structural loads have been provided. No grading plans have been prepared so we do not know what grades will be established. We assume the culverts will not have much cover between the arch and roadway since the surrounding area if flat but wall loads of about 10,000 pounds per linear foot or more are assumed.

3.0 METHODS OF EXPLORATION

To evaluate the subsurface conditions, the property was explored by a combination of a visual site reconnaissance and drilling six (6) soil test borings and one (1) offset boring to depths ranging from 5 to 52 feet below the existing grade. The borings were located in the field by measuring distances and estimating directions from identifiable site features. Therefore, their locations as shown on the Site and Boring Location

Plan in the Appendix should be considered approximate.

The borings were advanced by twisting continuous hollow stem auger flights into the ground. At selected intervals, Standard Penetration Resistance Testing (SPT) was performed in general accordance with ASTM

Standard D-1586, and soil samples were collected for visual classification. The results of the penetration tests, when properly evaluated, provide an indication of the relative consistency of the soil being sampled, the potential for difficult excavation, and the soil's ability to support loads. A more detailed description of the drilling and sampling process is included in the Appendix of this report.

Soil samples recovered during the drilling process were returned to the office where they were classified in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). Detailed descriptions of the materials encountered at each boring location, along with a graphical representation of the Standard Penetration Test results, are shown on the Soil Boring Records in the Appendix.

4.0 SITE DESCRIPTION, GEOLOGY AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS

4.1 Site Description

The subject site is a part of the Griffin City Golf Course located to the south of Camp Northern Road in Griffin, Spalding County, Georgia. The subsurface exploration focused on the areas surrounding the two existing concrete bridges that facilitate access to the golf facility southwest of the. The north to south running creek exits from a larger pond to the north and separates the golf facility from Camp Northern Road. The existing bridges decks are roughly 10-12 feet above the creek bottom and span about 20 feet. The side slopes of the creek are steep and eroded.

4.2 Geology

The site is located in the Piedmont Physiographic Province of Georgia. The residual soils in the Piedmont are the result of the chemical and physical weathering of the underlying parent rock. The weathering profile usually results in fine grained clayey silts and silty clays near the surface, where weathering is more advanced.

With depth, sandy silts and silty sands are found, often containing mica. Below the residual soils, partially weathered rock is often found as a transition above relatively unweathered rock. In local practice, partially weathered rock is arbitrarily defined as residual soils with Standard Penetration Resistances in excess of 100 blows per foot (50 blows per 6 inches), and which can be penetrated by a power auger.

4.3 Subsurface Conditions

4.3.1 Pavement

Borings B-3 and B-7 initially encountered about 2 to 3 inches of asphalt, which was underlain by 2 to 3 inches of base stone.

4.3.2 Previously Placed Fill

Fill soils are those soils that have been placed or reworked in conjunction with past construction activities.

Previously placed fill was encountered in all borings either at the surface or underlying basestone to depths of

6 feet below the existing grades. The fill was classified as silty sands (SM) and sandy silts (ML) with Standard

Penetration Test (SPT) results ranging from 2 to 7 blows per foot (bpf). Based on the SPT results, the soil represented by these samples would be considered poorly compacted. The fill samples encountered were generally free of organics with the exception of the top sample of boring B-2, which included topsoil.

4.3.3 Alluvium

Alluvium is soil that has been transported and deposited by moving water. Alluvial soils were encountered underlying the previously placed fill in borings B-5 and B-7 to depths of 8 to 13 feet. The alluvium was classified as sitly sand (SM) with some gravel and cobbles.

4.3.4 Residuum

Residuum, formed by in-place weathering of the parent rock, was encountered in all borings either underlying previously placed fill or alluvial soils. The residuum was classified as silty sands (SM). Standard Penetration

Test results ranged from 3 to 57 blows per foot, with 5 to 15 bpf being typical.

4.3.5 Partially Weathered Rock

Partially weathered rock (PWR) is a transitional material between soil and rock, which retains the relic structure of the rock and has very hard or very dense consistencies. With increasing depth, the subsurface conditions transitioned to partially weathered rock (PWR) in all borings, with the exception of B-7 and B-8. The initial contact with PWR ranged from 23 to 43 feet. The borings that did not detect a reportable thickness of

PWR went from soil to apparent rock.

4.3.6 Refusal

Refusal is a designation applied to any material which cannot be further penetrated by the power auger and is normally indicative of a very hard or very dense material, such as boulders or lenses or the upper surface of bedrock.

Refusal to the drilling process was encountered in all borings ranging from depths ranging between 27 and 52 feet below the existing grades. The nature of the refusal material can only be determined by advancing the hole below the refusal depth by using rock coring techniques, which were beyond the scope of this work. We note that the initial attempt to drill at boring B-6 encountered refusal at 5 feet on debris or a boulder in the fill.

4.3.7 Groundwater

Groundwater was encountered in all six borings at the time of drilling at depths of 7 to 18 feet below the existing grade. For safety purposes the borings were backfilled and patched immediately after termination.

Stabilized groundwater levels will be near the level of the existing creek.

The conditions described in the preceding paragraphs, and those shown in the Appendix, have been based on interpolation of the results of the previously described data using generally accepted principles and practices of geotechnical engineering. However, conditions in this geology may vary intermediate of the tested locations, and even more so on previously developed property.

Although individual soil test borings are representative of the subsurface conditions at the precise boring locations on the day drilled, they are not necessarily indicative of the subsurface conditions at other locations or other times. The nature and extent of variation between the borings may not become evident until the course of construction. If such variations are then noted, it will be necessary to reevaluate the recommendations of this report after on-site observation of the conditions.

5.0 PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The following preliminary conclusions and recommendations are based on the data gathered during this exploration, our understanding of the proposed construction, our experience with similar site and subsurface conditions and generally accepted principles and practices of geotechnical engineering. Should the proposed construction change significantly from that described in this report, we request that we be advised so that we may amend these recommendations accordingly. This report and the preliminary conclusions and recommendations provided herein are provided exclusively for the use of Paragon Consulting Group and are intended solely for the design of the referenced project.

5.1 Preliminary Culvert Foundation Support Recommendations.

Final recommendations for culvert foundation support can be provided when additional information is available on the size and structural loads anticipated for the culvert. For preliminary discussions we anticipate the culvert side wall structural loads will be at least 10,000 pounds per linear foot but these could be much higher.

We assume the foundations for the culvert wall will be about two feet below the creek bottom or about 10 +/-feet below the ground surface from where the borings were drilled. At the anticipated culvert foundation depth, the borings encountered very loose alluvium and loose residual soils. The alluvium and very loose residual soils are not recommended for foundation support but at depths of 15 feet in the borings, which we anticipate will be about 5+/- feet below the culvert foundation bottom, the borings found medium dense residual soil. One foundation alternative that could be considered if the settlement estimates discussed in the following paragraph are tolerable, would be to undercut the culvert foundation subgrades to the medium dense residual soils at about 15 feet below the ground level at the borings and backfill to foundation levels with crushed stone. This undercutting would require creek diversion and extensive temporary dewatering. We anticipate the groundwater will be at the creek level and will require that it be temporarily lowered with well points or wells to about 3 feet below the anticipated depth of undercut. The sidewalls of this undercut will be very loose and not stable without a flat layback. On the creek side this layback may cause the creek bottom to collapse. We do not know if this temporary destruction of the creek bottom will be allowed. Any crushed stone placed in the undercut will need to be completely wrapped in a non-woven geotextile filter fabric. The undercut width should be widened one foot for every two feet of undercut depth. The resulting subgrade after undercutting and stone placement can support bearing pressures of 3000 psf with the anticipated settlement discussed below.

The undercutting will not remove all compressible soils and the culvert foundation will experience settlement due to consolidation of the underling residual soils that are not undercut. The magnitude of the settlement depends on the actual anticipated culvert wall loads which have not been provided. Our preliminary settlement estimates for the culvert with a side wall line load of 10,000 pounds per linear foot, is 1 to 1½ inches. If the actual wall load is 20,000 pounds per linear foot, a settlement of 2½ to 3 inches is possible. The culvert designer will need to determine what magnitude of settlement is acceptable. We anticipate the values estimated for the 10,000 plf wall load may be at the upper limits of the designer’s settlement tolerance, but the estimate of 2½ to 3 inches for a 20,000 plf load will not be tolerable. Our foundation settlement estimates have not considered loading due to any embankment construction away from the culvert. We assume that the grades over the culvert will not change appreciably from the approach to the existing bridges but that should be determined once a grading plan is finalized.

If the foundation settlement estimates are not within tolerance, or if the problems associated with the undercutting of foundation subgrade below the creek is not desired or feasible, the culvert can be supported on a deep foundation.

A moderate capacity foundation such as helical piers appears feasible. The conditions at the east bridge are more favorable for helical piles because a zone of dense soil was encountered above rock where the helical pier can likely obtain capacity by embedment of the helical in the dense soil. At the west bridge the conditions are less favorable because the subsurface transitions from loose soil to apparent rock very quickly and helical piers may spin once the hard layer is found. These helical may not indicate an acceptable capacity based on installation torque and the designer may require additional load testing to confirm capacity. Helical piers should be designed by an engineer experienced with these systems, typically working for the installation contractor. We recommend performance of a single load test to verify the capacity and deflection.

More robust piles such as driven H-piles or pipe piles could also be used. These piles would be driven to practical refusal on the underling auger refusal materials. The capacity would be based on the strength of the steel section with appropriate design method reductions. An auger cast pile extended to refusal which would be near the soil test boring auger refusal could also be considered for support.
