2. Quality Assurance:
a. The soils engineer warrants that the findings, recommendations, specifications, or professional advice contained herein have been promulgated after being prepared in accordance with generally accepted professional engineering practice in the fields of foundation engineering, soil mechanics and engineering geology. No other warranties are implied or expressed.
b. The Contractor may examine the logs, boring logs and other subsurface data which may be issued or otherwise made available by the Architect. The Contractor must interpret such data according to his own judgment and acknowledge that he is not relying upon the same as totally describing the subsurface conditions which may be found to exist. The Contractor assumes all risks contingent upon the nature of the subsurface conditions actually encountered by him in performing the work covered by the Contract, even though such actual conditions may result in the Contractor performing more or less work than he originally anticipated. In bidding, the Contractor may use soil borings, additional information from soil consultants, or he may make additional borings which he may deem necessary for accurate bidding. Approved Change Orders to the contract will be considered for existing soil conditions which require over excavation (and new structural fill) to remove unstable subsurface “fill” materials below areas of new building foundations and floor slabs; at locations which are not reasonably discernible from the contract documents, site visitation, and subsurface exploration report. In no case will extra amounts over and above the Contract be allowed for removing or adding top soil and organic matter or for making additional borings.

Coleman Engineering Company 1 Geotechnical Investigation Report Veterans Administration Medical Center Expanded Primary Care Site Development
October 4, 2019
I. INTRODUCTION
The Veterans Administration (VA) Medical Center is proposing to construct an addition to the
Primary Care building at their facility in Iron Mountain, Michigan. The proposed addition will be a two‐story structure with a full basement encompassing 5,700 square feet. We assume column loads will be less than 150 kips and wall loads will be less than 7 kips per lineal foot. It is our understanding that the finished floor elevation will match the floor elevation of the existing building. Ancillary construction will include a retaining wall structure, truck access drive lanes, sidewalks, parking and underground utilities. Demolition of an existing building will also be completed along with associated site features.
The purpose of this report is to document the results of the limited field investigation and to provide recommendations/guidance for soil bearing capacity, settlement mitigation, groundwater management, earthwork quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) and other geotechnical considerations.
Be aware that the recommendations contained in this report recognize that possible fill was found during this soils investigation. The representatives of the VA have been advised of the pitfalls of developing on undocumented fill and the risks of developing the site and decisions for construction lie with the VA.
II. FIELD PROCEDURES
The site of the proposed addition was evaluated with three (3) soil borings designated as Borings
B‐1 through B‐3 drilled to nominal depths of about 35 feet below the existing grade. The borings were advanced with a Geoprobe 7822 DT track mounted drill unit present at the site on September
20 through September 24, 2019. Drilling was completed using 3¼‐inch I.D. hollow‐shaft augers
(HSA).
HSA augers act as continuously‐advancing steel casing that prevent the borehole walls from collapsing in above the depths to be tested/sampled. Sampling tools are lowered inside the augers for testing into undisturbed soils ahead of the tip of the augers.
Drilling and field sampling were performed in accordance with ASTM D‐1586, “Penetration Test and
Split Barrel Sampling of Soils” with a 2‐inch O.D. split spoon. Thirty (30) such samples were obtained.
Coleman Engineering Company 2 Geotechnical Investigation Report
Expanded Primary Care Site Development
A field log was prepared for each boring during exploration which contained the work method, standard penetration test (SPT) data, samples recovered and the indication of the presence of various soil types. The field logs were submitted to Coleman Engineering Company’s (CEC) laboratory along with the soil samples for evaluation of the subsurface information and preparation of the final boring logs.
The boring locations were selected and established by CEC. Ground surface elevations at the boring locations were referenced to an on‐site temporary benchmark designated as the top of manhole cover located just east of Boring B‐2. The elevation of this temporary benchmark was assumed to be 100.0. The general project location and boring location maps are presented in
Appendix A.
III. LABORATORY PROCEDURES
All field soil samples collected were visually classified in accordance with ASTM D‐2488, “Description and Identification of Soils (Visual‐Manual Procedure).” Additional laboratory testing was deemed unnecessary for the classification purposes.
The final logs contain both factual and interpretive information. It should be emphasized that the recommendations are based only on the final boring logs. On the final logs, horizontal lines designating the interface between differing materials encountered represent approximate boundaries. The transition between soil strata is typically gradual.
IV. SITE CONDITIONS
The proposed addition is located at the southeast corner of the Medical Center. The site slopes slightly downward from north to south with corresponding elevations at the boring locations at
+103.70 to +100.20.
Possible fill was encountered in all of the borings to depths ranging from 18 to 23 feet consisting of silty sand. This soil was characterized as possible fill as it lacked structure making it difficult to classify it as native soil or fill. (We wish to note that we have observed existing fill at this site during other construction projects in the past.) Below the possible fill, native poorly graded sand was encountered to the maximum depths explored. The possible fill was in a loose to very dense
Coleman Engineering Company 3 Geotechnical Investigation Report
Expanded Primary Care Site Development
October 4, 2019 condition but generally medium dense. The native sand was in a medium dense condition. For a more detailed soil description, see the individual soil boring logs in Appendix D.
Groundwater was not observed in any of the borings at the time of drilling. It should be noted that groundwater levels may fluctuate several feet seasonally, owing to rainfall, snowmelt, surface runoff, and other factors.
V. ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Our analysis and recommendations related to the geotechnical aspects of the proposed project include:
Site Preparation and Grading
Initially, the existing building and associated site features should be demolished with all demolition debris and foundations removed. Based on the borings, we were unable to define if the silty sand in the upper 18 to 23 feet was native soil or undocumented fill; therefore, the soils were characterized as possible fill. It was difficult to distinguish the fill from the native deposits in these borings as the fill likely originated as native soils placed during the grading operations of the original construction of the VA Campus building(s). The possible fill was encountered in all of the borings at depths ranging from 18 to 23 feet below the existing ground surface. The Standard
Penetration Test sampling completed for this investigation indicated the density of the granular soil was consistent throughout.
Normally it would be recommended that all undocumented fill and deleterious materials be stripped/excavated below the building footprint and to a lateral distance equal to the depth of removal (1 foot horizontal to 1 foot vertical) and replaced with engineered fill. In cases of sites with deep fill, supporting the building on a deep foundation system bearing on the native soils would be the preferred recommendation. However, Berners‐Schober Associates has requested recommendations to construct the building on the existing soils. Therefore, the remainder of this report will include recommendations for constructing the proposed structure on the existing soil based solely on the conditions encountered in the three (3) soil boings completed for the investigation. We wish to note that these recommendations will reduce, not eliminate, the risk of constructing on the existing soil as stated below. CEC can provide recommendations for the removal and replacement method or a deep foundation system upon request.
We must caution that constructing on existing fill, if present, could result in excessive total and
Coleman Engineering Company 4 Geotechnical Investigation Report
Expanded Primary Care Site Development
October 4, 2019 differential settlement to potential structures due to soft, loose, compressible or decomposable materials. Such settlement could result in uneven floors, cracks in the floor slabs, vertical faults in the floor slabs, which may create tripping hazards, and differential settlement where exterior slabs abut the perimeter foundations. The Owner must be willing to solely accept any risk of constructing on the existing fill at this site. If the Owner is not willing to accept the risk, we recommend conducting a supplemental investigation for a deep foundation system.
If the Owner is willing to take the risk of constructing on the existing soils, all subgrade exposed after stripping/excavation should be evaluated by a geotechnical engineer or person under the direction of a geotechnical engineer. The evaluation may include shallow hand auger borings and/or dynamic cone penetrometer tests to determine if the subgrade soils are similar to those encountered in the soil borings and appear to be suitable for support of proposed fill and structure loads. The subgrade exposed after stripping/excavation should be compacted to a minimum of ninety‐five percent (95%) of modified Proctor (ASTM D‐1557) maximum dry density prior to any backfilling or footing construction.
Engineered fill is recommended to be placed where backfill is required and should consist of sand and/or gravel with less than about ten percent (10%) by weight of fines passing the No. 200 sieve with a maximum rock size of about 4 inches. A soil meeting Michigan Department of
Transportation (MDOT) specifications for Class IIA sand would be acceptable for use as engineered fill. Fill shall be placed in lifts not exceeding about 12 inches in loose thickness compacted to a minimum of ninety‐five percent (95%) of modified Proctor (ASTM D‐1557) maximum dry density.
Shallow Foundations
We recommend that the proposed building foundation be supported on conventional spread footings founded on re‐compacted possible fill. Footings so supported can be proportioned for a net allowable soil bearing pressure of up to 3,000 psf. The net allowable soil bearing pressure refers to that pressure in excess of the final overburden pressure. The recommended net allowable bearing pressure can be increased by one‐third for short‐term transient type live loadings. For the recommended design soil bearing pressure, we estimate a total settlement of less than ¾ inch for column footings and for a 25‐foot span of continuous wall footing. Differential settlement is expected to approach fifty to seventy‐five percent (50 – 75%) of the total settlement for similarly sized and loaded footings.
Coleman Engineering Company 5 Geotechnical Investigation Report
Expanded Primary Care Site Development
October 4, 2019
All perimeter footings for heated structures should extend to a minimum depth of 42 inches or below frost depth, as defined by local building codes/practice. Interior footings in heated areas can be located immediately below the floor slab. All column footings should have a minimum width of
30 inches; all continuous wall footings should have a minimum width of 16 inches. An adequate thickness of insulation is recommended on the inside face of all footing/foundation walls exposed to cold weather. Footings for unheated structures or isolated exterior footings should extend a minimum depth of 60 inches below the ground surface.
Floor Slabs
As with the footings, earth supported interior floors are recommended to be constructed on re‐ compacted possible fill. The exposed subgrade should be surface compacted to a minimum of ninety‐five percent (95%) of modified proctor. We recommend that the base of the slab be separated from the subgrade by means of a minimum 10‐mil thick vapor barrier (Visqueen or similar). If the structure cannot accommodate curling or shrinkage of the floor, industry standards often recommend burying the vapor barrier beneath a minimum of 4 inches of free draining sand.
However, we would caution that this practice risks trapping water between the slab and vapor barrier. If required, earth supported floor slabs can be designed using a modulus of subgrade reaction of 200 pounds per square inch per inch (pci) of deflection.
Pavement Areas
In the pavement areas, we recommend that compaction tests be conducted prior to placing additional fill or pavement materials. We recommend that the soils be compacted to a minimum of ninety‐five percent (95%) modified Proctor density (ASTM D‐1557). Density tests should be conducted to confirm that these densities are achieved.
If there are areas which cannot be compacted, we recommend that the unstable materials be sub‐excavated to a depth of at least 2 feet and replaced with materials which can be compacted.
Subsequent fill should be similarly moistened and compacted.
We recommend “proof‐rolling” the subgrade with a rubber‐tire roller or heavy truck. The rolling should be observed by a geotechnical engineer or a field technician under the direction of a geotechnical engineer. Soft or spongy areas should be sub‐cut, replaced and compacted as directed.
For the assumptions of a firm subgrade and light traffic volumes, we recommend a pavement
Coleman Engineering Company 6 Geotechnical Investigation Report
Expanded Primary Care Site Development
October 4, 2019 section of 3 inches (1 ½ inches of surface course and 1 ½ inches of binder course) of MDOT bituminous concrete surface course and 6 inches of MDOT 22A base course for car and light truck areas. For heavy truck areas, we recommend increasing the bituminous concrete thickness to 4 inches (1 ½ of surface course and 2 ½ inches of binder course) and base course thickness to 10 inches.
The bituminous concrete should be compacted to ninety‐two percent (92%) Theoretical Maximum
Density; the base course should be compacted to ninety‐five percent (95%) modified Proctor density. Density tests should be run to confirm that these densities are achieved.
Paved areas should be inspected frequently, particularly in the fall, and cracks sealed as soon as possible.
Underground Utility Construction
Based on the borings, the soils encountered at typical invert elevations are generally suitable for utility support. In the event that unstable soils are encountered, it may be necessary to sub‐cut these soils 1 to 3 feet (depth to be determined by field observation) and replace them with engineered fill in order to provide a stable work surface.
All trench backfill should be compacted to a minimum of ninety percent (90%) of modified Proctor maximum dry density. Trench backfill should be placed in lifts not exceeding about 12 inches in loose thickness. Excavated soils are recommended for trench backfill above the pipe bedding material if they are at or can be brought, with reasonable effort, to the moisture content optimum for compaction as defined by the modified Proctor test (ASTM D‐1557). Also, the excavated soils shall be free of chunks of frozen soil, organics, cobbles and boulders larger than about 4 inches and other deleterious materials. If this is not the case, we recommend that all excavations be backfilled with a soil recommended by a geotechnical engineer familiar with site subsurface conditions.
Backfill to at least 12 inches above the pipe crown (pipe bedding) should consist of MDOT Class II sand.
Trench spoil, heavy equipment and any type of vibrating machinery should not be permitted within a lateral distance from the top of the trench/excavation equal to 0.5 times the depth of the trench/excavation.
Caving of trench sidewalls and soils at the site should be expected to occur at any depth and without warning. All utility trenches should be cut back or braced as required to provide safe
Coleman Engineering Company 7 Geotechnical Investigation Report
Expanded Primary Care Site Development trench working conditions. Trench safety is the responsibility of the utility contractor.
Exterior Concrete Flatwork
We recommend that exterior concrete flatwork be supported on a minimum of 12 inches of engineered backfill as defined in the “Site Preparation and Grading” section compacted to a minimum of ninety‐five percent (95%) of modified Proctor maximum dry density.
Exterior concrete should be pitched to drain away from the building. Any concrete flatwork that abuts side entrances should either be supported on frost depth foundations or sufficiently depressed to prevent any frost heave from negatively impacting door openings.
Below Grade Walls
We recommend using the following equivalent fluid pressures and a triangular shaped pressure distribution for the design of any below grade walls resisting lateral loads:
Wall Type Equivalent Active Fluid
Pressure* (psf/ft) Equivalent Passive Fluid
Pressure* (psf/ft)
Restrained at Top 60 300
* Assumes level wall backfill.
We further recommend using a co‐efficient of base friction equal to 0.4. A translation or rotation of approximately 1/1000 of the height of the fill would be required to develop the active state for granular soils. Backfill within 5 lateral feet of the back of the wall should consist of engineered fill.
The backfill should be compacted to at least eighty‐eight percent (88%) but not more than ninety‐ two percent (92%) of modified Proctor maximum dry density. Relatively light manually propelled compactors should be used within 5 feet of the walls. Compactors used beyond 5 feet should be limited in weight to 3,000 lbs. We recommend using an active earth pressure (Ka) of 0.3 for fill placed as specified with a moist unit weight of 120 pcf.
Where walls are adjacent to “green” areas or areas where surface water can penetrate below surface grades and at the base of retaining walls and below grade walls, a minimum 4‐inch diameter perforated flexible drainage pipe (ADS green stripe or similar) should be located behind, parallel to, and at the base of the wall/foundation. The pipe should be placed no closer than one diameter to the edge of the foundation. The pipe should be wrapped with filter fabric (Mirafi 140N or similar or a graded stone filter) to prevent the migration of fines into the drainage pipe. The
Coleman Engineering Company 8 Geotechnical Investigation Report
Expanded Primary Care Site Development pipe should be routed to a safe outlet or drain.
External loads on below grade wall foundations have not been taken into account in our recommendations. Surcharge loads imposed by vehicle parking, construction equipment and material storage should be considered during structural design.
During construction, adequate provision should be made for proper drainage, so as to prevent erosion and possible damage to this site and adjacent property. Temporary cut slopes during construction above the water table should not exceed about 2:1 (horizontal:vertical). Post‐ construction finished slopes above the water table should not exceed about 3:1
(horizontal:vertical).
Inspection and Testing
A qualified testing laboratory should be retained throughout the course of earthwork operations for testing and documentation of compliance with the recommendations of this report and related project specifications. As a guide, the following compaction testing schedule is recommended:
Area or Material To Be Tested
Recommended Minimum Testing Frequency
Native Subgrades 1 test per 2,500 sq. ft.
Engineered Fill 1 test per 2,500 sq. ft. per lift
Column Footings 1‐4 tests per footing depending on footing size
Wall Footings 1 test per 25 lineal feet
Utility Trenches 1 test per 50 lineal feet per lift
Construction Considerations
We anticipate that the sidewalls of excavations to depths greater than 4 feet below surrounding grades will cave to 1 vertical to 1.5 horizontal or flatter. Excavation spoil, heavy equipment and any type of vibrating machinery should not be permitted within a lateral distance from the top of the excavation to 0.5 times the depth of the excavation. Excavation safety is the excavation contractor's responsibility.

Again, we must caution that constructing on the existing fill, if present, could result in excessive total and differential settlement to potential structures due to soft, loose, compressible or decomposable materials. Such settlement could result in uneven floors, cracks in the floor slabs, vertical faults in the floor slabs which may create tripping hazards, and differential settlement where exterior slabs abut the perimeter foundations. The Owner must be willing to solely accept any risk of constructing on the existing fill at this site. If the Owner is not willing to accept this risk, an alternative subsurface investigation and recommendations consisting of a deep foundation system can be provided upon request.
During construction, adequate provision should be made for proper drainage, so as to prevent erosion and possible damage to this site and adjacent property. Temporary cut slopes during construction above the water table should not exceed about 2:1 (horizontal:vertical). Post‐ construction finished slopes above the water table should not exceed about 3:1
(horizontal:vertical).
