About this file

This document is a comprehensive set of specifications for a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Specialty Care Building project located in Manchester, New Hampshire. The project (VA Project No. 608-315) involves constructing a new 12,830 square foot specialty care building that will connect to the southwest side of the existing Building 1, specifically for an Eye Clinic and Audiology service. The project is scheduled to start on March 31, 2025, with an expected completion date of February 1, 2027, and has a total construction duration of 730 calendar days.

The specifications cover multiple aspects of the construction, including detailed requirements for architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Notable features include multiple deduct alternate options that could modify the project scope, such as omitting certain architectural elements, adjusting roof heights, and removing specific building components like the basement or pump room. The project will involve site utilities work, including new steam, water, electrical, and stormwater infrastructure connections. The solicitation (36C77625B0024) is being managed by the VA Technology Acquisition Center in Austin, with the construction to be performed at the Manchester VA Medical Center located at 718 Smyth Road in Manchester, New Hampshire.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A geotechnical engineering report has been completed for the proposed VA Critical Care Building, located at 718 Smyth Road in Manchester, New Hampshire. Thirteen test borings were advanced to depths ranging from 10.2 and 25.3 feet below existing grade to provide geotechnical information within the proposed building footprint and pavement areas.

Site subsurface conditions generally consist 5 to 7 inches of bituminous concrete or 6 inches of topsoil over 2.2 to 8.5 feet of existing fill over silty sand native soil. Auger refusal on presumed bedrock was encountered at depths not expected to impact design or construction of foundations.

The following geotechnical considerations for project design and construction were identified and are discussed in the report:

The proposed building may be supported on conventional spread footing foundations bearing on proofrolled native soil. The floor slabs may be supported on structural fill over proofrolled existing fill.

We recommend existing foundation elements and utilities within the proposed building area and foundation bearing zone be removed. Existing fill will likely be encountered below footing subgrades. Existing fill should be overexcavated from the footing bearing zone and replaced with compacted structural fill.

Support of floor slabs and pavements on or above existing fill, is discussed in this report. There is an inherent risk for the owner that unsuitable material within or buried during re-grading will not be discovered.

The site is seismic Site Class C.

Site pavements may be constructed using standard DOT specified materials, and a recommended total granular base thickness of at least 12 inches.

Monitoring of the construction operations discussed herein will be critical in achieving the design subgrade support. We recommend Terracon be retained to monitor this portion of the work.

This summary should be used in conjunction with the entire report for design purposes. Details are not included or fully developed in this summary; the report must be read in its entirety of a comprehensive understanding of the information contained herein. The section titled General

Comments should be read for an understanding of the report limitations.

3.2 Groundwater

The boreholes were observed during drilling operations for the presence and level of groundwater.

Groundwater was encountered in one test boring, B-12, at 10 feet deep. Groundwater level fluctuations occur due to seasonal variations in the amount of rainfall, runoff, and other factors not evident at the time the borings were performed. Therefore, groundwater levels during construction or at other times in the life of the structure may be higher or lower than the levels indicated on the boring logs. The possibility of groundwater level fluctuations should be considered when developing the design and construction plans for the project.

3.3 Soil Laboratory Testing

Laboratory testing, consisting of gradation and moisture content, was performed on representative soil samples recovered from the test borings. Laboratory test results are included in Appendix B.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

4.1 Geotechnical Considerations

The proposed building may be supported on shallow spread footings bearing on proofrolled native soil. Overexcavation up to 4 feet may be necessary for spread footings in areas of deeper existing fill. The floor slabs may derive support from compacted structural fill placed over proofrolled existing fill.

The proposed building will be constructed partially over the footprint of the existing Building No.

5. We recommend existing foundation elements and utilities within the proposed building area and within the foundation bearing zone be removed. Removal of building foundations should also include removal of loose backfill found adjacent to foundations.

If existing fill or unsuitable materials are encountered below footing subgrades, they should be overexcavated from the footing bearing zone (defined as the volume beneath 1 horizontal to 1.5 vertical lines extending downward and outward from lower edges of the footing) and replaced with compacted structural fill as described in Section 4.2 Earthwork.

Support of floor slabs and pavements on or above existing fill, is discussed in this report.

However, even with the recommended construction testing services, there is an inherent risk for the owner that unsuitable material within or buried during re-grading will not be discovered. This risk of unforeseen conditions cannot be eliminated completely, but can be reduced by performing additional testing and evaluation at the time of construction, such as additional test pits and proof-

Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 4 rolling. Where unsuitable conditions are observed, the materials should be replaced with compacted structural fill.

Provided the owner is willing to accept the risk of supporting pavements over the existing fill materials in exchange for reduced construction costs, inorganic stable portions of the existing fill can be left in place for support of the pavements. Undocumented fill may contain soft soils or other unsuitable materials; if they are present and are not discovered and corrected during construction, larger than normal settlement resulting in cracking or other damage could occur in pavements and utilities supported on or above the existing fill.

We recommend the geotechnical engineer be retained to evaluate the bearing material for the foundations and floor slab subgrade soils. Subsurface conditions, as identified by the field testing program, have been reviewed and evaluated with respect to the proposed building plans known to us at this time.

4.2 Earthwork

The following subsections present recommendations for site preparation, excavation, subgrade preparation, and placement of fill for the project. The recommendations presented for design and construction of earth-supported elements, including foundations and slabs, are contingent upon the recommendations outlined in this section.

Evaluation of earthwork should include observation and testing of engineered fill, subgrade preparation, foundation bearing soils, and other geotechnical conditions exposed during construction.

Site Preparation

The proposed building will be constructed partially over the footprint of the existing Building No.

5. We therefore recommend foundation systems be removed within the proposed building area and the foundation bearing zone, which is defined as the volume below 2/3 horizontal (H) to 1 vertical (V) lines extending outward and downward from the lower edges of the footing. The resulting excavation should be filled with compacted lifts of reused excavated soils.

For areas outside the proposed building footprint and foundation bearing zone, existing footings and utilities need only be removed where they conflict with proposed utilities and pavements. In such cases, existing footings and utilities should be removed from a depth of 3 feet below the affected utility or underside of pavement section. Areas disturbed during demolition of the existing structures and the removal of foundation elements should be evaluated by the geotechnical engineer or his representative prior to placement of fill. Disturbed soils should be undercut prior to placement of fill.

April 6, 2017 ■ Terracon Project No. J1165098

Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 5

Aside from existing foundation elements, removal of topsoil, vegetation, and otherwise unsuitable materials should be completed prior to excavation and placement of structural fill or concrete.

Wet or disturbed material should either be removed or moisture conditioned and recompacted.

Exposed foundation and floor slab subgrades in granular soils should be proofrolled where possible to aid in locating loose or soft areas. Proofrolling can be performed with at least six passes of a minimum 10-ton (static weight) vibratory roller compactor in open areas, or in areas with limited access, a walk-behind compactor capable of imparting a similar amount of energy may be used.

A geotechnical engineer, or his/her representative, should review the subgrade preparation.

Soft/unstable material, as identified by the geotechnical engineer, should be overexcavated from the building footprint and footing bearing zones to competent material and replaced with compacted structural fill or ¾-inch minus crushed stone. Overexcavation efforts should be accomplished in accordance with the recommendations presented in section 4.3.2 Foundation

Construction Considerations.

Following subgrade preparation, structural fill may be placed, as necessary, and compacted to achieve design footing/slab level. Where subgrades become wet, unstable and/or difficult to proofroll, the use of minus ¾-inch crushed stone should be considered in lieu of structural fill.

Material Types

Fill and backfill should meet the following material property requirements:

Fill Type 1 USCS Classification Acceptable Location for Placement

Structural Fill

GW, GW-GM, SW,

SW-SM, SP, GP 2

All locations and elevations.

Common Fill Varies 3

Common fill may be used for general site grading. Common fill should not be used under settlement or frost-sensitive structures. Excavated soil may be reused as common fill, provided it is free of organic matter and can be adequately compacted.

Crushed Stone GP For use on wet subgrades and as drainage fill. Should be uniform ¾-inch angular crushed stone.

1. Compacted fill should consist of approved materials free of organic matter and debris. Frozen material should not be used. Fill should not be placed on a frozen subgrade.

2. Imported structural fill should meet the following gradation (NHDOT Section 508):

3. Common fill should have a maximum particle size of 6 inches and no more than 25 percent by weight passing the US No. 200 sieve.

Existing fill materials free of organic matter may be selectively reused as common fill throughout the site, provided material larger than 6 inches in diameter is removed, it is free of deleterious materials, and it can be adequately compacted. Silty soils are considered frost susceptible and should not be used in the upper 18 inches of pavements or exterior concrete slabs or sidewalks.

Existing fill materials containing organic matter are considered unsuitable for pavement or building support but may be reused in landscape areas. Existing topsoil may be reused as topsoil for general site grading.

Compaction Requirements

Fill Lift Thickness 8 inches or less in loose thickness

Minimum Compaction Requirements 1 95 percent maximum Modified Proctor dry density (ASTM

D1557)

Moisture Content – Granular Material Workable moisture levels

1. We recommend structural fill be tested for moisture content and compaction during placement.

Should the results of the in-place density tests indicate the specified moisture or compaction limits have not been met, the area represented by the test should be reworked and retested, as required, until the specified moisture and compaction requirements are achieved.

Grading and Drainage

Adequate drainage should be provided at the site to reduce the likelihood of an increase in moisture content of the foundation soils. Pavement or parking areas should be sloped away from the building to reduce the likelihood of water ponding near the structure.

Earthwork Construction Considerations

Unstable subgrade conditions could develop during general construction operations, particularly if the soils are wetted and/or subjected to repetitive construction traffic. Construction traffic over subgrades should be avoided to the extent practical and the site should be graded to prevent ponding of surface water on prepared subgrades or in excavations. If the subgrade should become frozen, wet, or disturbed, or otherwise unstable, the affected material should be removed, or should be scarified, moisture conditioned, and recompacted.

The contractor should be required to maintain a stable subgrade during construction and prevent groundwater, if encountered, and surface water runoff from collecting in excavations. Subgrade

Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 7 soils becoming unstable because of water and/or reworking by construction activity should be replaced with compacted structural fill or crushed stone, as necessary. Disturbance due to poor excavation technique or failure to protect subgrades should be stabilized at the contractor’s expense.

As a minimum, temporary excavations should be sloped or braced, as required by Occupational

Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) regulations, to provide stability and safe working conditions. Temporary excavations will probably be required during grading operations. The contractor, by contract, is usually responsible for designing and constructing stable, temporary excavations and should shore, slope or bench the sides of the excavations, as required, to maintain stability of both the excavation sides and bottom. All excavations should comply with applicable local, state, and federal safety regulations, including current OSHA Excavation and

Trench Safety Standards.

The geotechnical engineer should be retained during the construction phase of the project to observe earthwork and to perform necessary tests and observations during subgrade preparation, proofrolling, placement and compaction of controlled compacted fills, backfilling of excavations in the completed subgrade, and just before construction of foundations.

4.3 Foundations

The proposed building may be supported on shallow spread footing foundations bearing on proofrolled native soil. Design recommendations and construction considerations for spread footings are presented in the following sections.

4.3.1 Foundation Design Recommendations

Description Value

Net Allowable Bearing Pressure 1 6,000 psf

Minimum Isolated Spread Footing Width 24 inches

Minimum Embedment Below Finished Grade 2 48 inches

Approximate Total Settlement 3 1 inch

Estimated Differential Settlement 3 ½ inch

Total Soil Unit Weight (γ) 120 pcf

Passive Earth Pressure Coefficient, Kp 4 3.0

Ultimate Coefficient of Sliding Friction 5 0.5 (ultimate)

1. The recommended net allowable bearing pressure is the pressure in excess of the minimum surrounding overburden pressure at the footing base elevation. Assumes any unsuitable material or soft soils, if encountered, will be undercut and replaced with engineered fill.

2. For frost protection and to reduce effects of seasonal moisture variations in subgrade soils. For perimeter footings and footings beneath unheated areas.

Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 8

3. Foundation settlement will depend upon the variations within the subsurface soil profile, the structural loading conditions, the embedment depth of the footing, the thickness of compacted fill, and the quality of the earthwork operations.

4. Passive pressure calculated with this parameter should be reduced by at least a factor of safety of 3, to reflect the amount of movement required to mobilize the passive resistance.

5. A factor of safety of at least 1.5 should be applied to the sliding resistance.

Site underground utilities, light standard foundations, drainage structures, and the like may be soil supported in a similar manner to building footings. Foundations for site appurtenances may be designed on the basis of a net allowable bearing pressure of 6,000 psf. However, the net allowable bearing pressure should be reduced to 4,000 psf, if the foundation dimensions are less than the recommended minimum.

The underside of interior footings not exposed to outside temperatures should be at least 18 inches below finished floor level. If interior footings are to be exposed to freezing temperatures during construction, the underside of interior footings should be at least 48 inches below adjacent grade unless underlain by crushed stone to the frost depth of 48 inches. If construction occurs during cold weather, the soil bearing surfaces in exposed footing excavations should be protected from frost.

Foundation Construction Considerations

The base of prepared foundation excavations should be free of water, loose soil, and deleterious materials prior to placing concrete. Concrete should be placed soon after excavation, compaction, and fill placement to reduce bearing soil disturbance. Should the soils at bearing level become wet, disturbed, or frozen, the affected soil should be removed prior to placing concrete. The geotechnical engineer should be retained to observe and test the soil foundation bearing materials.

If unsuitable bearing soils are encountered in footing excavations, the excavations should be extended deeper to suitable soils and replaced with structural fill or crushed stone.

Overexcavation for compacted structural fill or crushed stone placement below footings should extend laterally beyond all edges of the footings at least 8 inches per foot of overexcavation depth below footing base elevation. The overexcavation should then be backfilled up to the footing base elevation with structural fill placed in lifts of 8 inches or less in loose thickness and compacted to at least 95 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D1557). The overexcavation and backfill procedure is described in the following figure.

1. The International Building Code 2009 uses a site soil profile determination extending a depth of 100 feet for seismic site classification. The current scope requested does not include a 100-foot soil profile determination; the borings performed for this report extended to a maximum depth of 25.3 feet.

However, we expect soil at least as dense as was encountered or bedrock to extend to a depth of

100 feet.

2. Maximum considered earthquake ground motions are mapped at 5% critical damping for site class B.

3. The design earthquake considered has an average magnitude of 5.8 at an exceedance probability of

2% in 50 years.

4.5 Floor Slabs

Floor Slab Design Recommendations

Floor Slab Support 1 Minimum 12-inch thick layer of compacted structural fill

Modulus of Subgrade Reaction 2 150 pounds per square inch per in (psi/in)

1. Floor slab should be structurally independent of building footings or walls to reduce the possibility of floor slab cracking caused by differential movements between the slab and foundation.

2. Modulus of Subgrade Reaction accounts for the 12-inch thick structural fill layer.

Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 10

Where appropriate, control joints should be saw-cut in the slab to help control the location and extent of cracking. The slab designer should refer to the ACI Design Manual for additional recommendations.

The use of a vapor retarder should be considered beneath a concrete floor slab covered with wood, tile, carpet or other moisture sensitive or impervious coverings, or when the slab will support equipment sensitive to moisture. When conditions warrant the use of a vapor retarder, the slab designer should refer to ACI 302 and/or ACI 360 for procedures and cautions regarding the use and placement of a vapor retarder.

Floor Slab Construction Considerations

Following excavation to design slab subgrade elevation, the subgrade should be reviewed and, if granular materials are encountered, proofrolled with a minimum 10-ton (static weight) vibratory roller compactor as described in section 4.2 Earthwork of this report. Alternately, in areas with limited access, a walk-behind compactor capable of imparting a similar amount of energy may be used. Following proofrolling, compacted structural fill may be placed as necessary to achieve slab subgrade.

On most project sites, site grading is generally accomplished early in the construction phase.

However, as construction proceeds, the subgrade may be disturbed because of utility excavations, construction traffic, precipitation, etc. Particular attention should be paid to high-traffic areas that were rutted and disturbed earlier and to areas where backfilled trenches are located. Areas with unsuitable conditions should be replaced with compacted structural fill.

Subgrades should be moisture conditioned and properly compacted to the recommendations in this report, immediately before placement of concrete.

4.6 Pavement

Pavement designs were based on AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures (1993) and our experience with similar projects. The thickness of each course is a function of subgrade strength, traffic, design life, and serviceability factors. Frost susceptibility is a factor in the overall pavement section thickness. The design of pavement thickness was based on:

50,000 18-kip ESALs for parking areas, driveways and truck access lanes

Subgrade rating of “fair”, based on the encountered subsurface conditions

Design life of 20 years

Rigid concrete pavement is recommended at the location of dumpsters where refuse trucks will park, areas of channelized traffic, and loading areas. For dumpster pads, as a minimum, the concrete pavement area should be large enough to support the container and tipping axle of the refuse truck. Concrete pavements should be reinforced and have relatively closely spaced control joints.

The outer edges of concrete pavement are susceptible to damage as trucks move from the concrete to the adjacent bituminous concrete. Therefore, the concrete thickness of the outer 2 feet of the concrete pavement should be increased to 12 inches. Concrete pavements should be protected from construction traffic until a compressive strength of at least 4,000 psi has been achieved. The above sections represent minimum thicknesses and, as such, periodic maintenance should be anticipated.

The granular subbase should be compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density, as determined by ASTM D1557. The bituminous concrete should be placed in accordance with the

New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) Standard Specifications for Road and

Bridge Construction, 2010. Pavement components should meet the following material specifications from the NHDOT Standard Specifications:

Pavement Component Specification

Bituminous Concrete Top Course 1/2-inch max. aggregate size – Section 401 Table 1

Bituminous Concrete Binder Course 3/4-inch max. aggregate size – Section 401 Table 1

Granular Base Course Crushed Stone (Fine) - Item 304.4

Portland Cement Concrete 1 Class AAA Concrete – Section 520 Table 1A

1. Minimum compressive strength of 4,000 psi.

Pavement Construction Considerations

Pavement subgrades prepared early in the project should be carefully evaluated as the time for pavement construction approaches. Pavement areas should be stripped of unsuitable materials and compacted with at least six passes with a minimum 10-ton (static weight) vibratory roller

April 6, 2017 ■ Terracon Project No. J1165098

Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 12 compactor, before being proofrolled with a loaded tandem-axle dump truck. Particular attention should be paid to high traffic areas that were rutted and disturbed and in areas where backfilled trenches are located. Areas with unsuitable conditions should be repaired by replacing the materials with properly compacted fill. When proofrolling/subgrade stabilization has been completed to the satisfaction of the geotechnical engineer, the aggregate base may be placed.

Pavements should be sloped to provide rapid drainage of surface water. Water allowed to pond on or adjacent to the pavements could saturate the subgrade, contributing to frost action and premature pavement deterioration. Future performance of pavements constructed on the site will be dependent upon maintaining stable moisture content of the base course soils. The performance of pavements may be enhanced by reducing excess moisture that can reach the base soils. The following recommendations should be considered:

Grading the site to a minimum 2 percent slope away from the pavements;

Installing an edge drain at the edge of the pavement on the higher sides of the site;

Placing compacted backfill against the exterior side of curb and gutter; and, Placing curb and gutter directly on subgrade soils without the use of base course materials.

Preventative maintenance should be planned and provided through an on-going pavement management program in order to enhance future pavement performance, slow the rate of pavement deterioration, and preserve the pavement investment. Preventative maintenance, which consists of both localized maintenance, e.g., crack and joint sealing and patching, and global maintenance, e.g., surface sealing, is usually the first priority when implementing a planned pavement maintenance program, and provides the highest return on investment for pavements.

Prior to implementing such a program, additional engineering observation is recommended to assess the type and extent of preventative maintenance.

GENERAL COMMENTS

Terracon should be retained to review the final design plans and specifications, so comments can be made regarding interpretation and implementation of our geotechnical recommendations in the design and specifications. Terracon also should be retained to provide observation and testing services during grading, excavation, foundation construction and other earth-related construction phases of the project.

The analysis and recommendations presented in this report are based upon the data obtained from the explorations performed at the indicated locations and from other information discussed in this report. This report does not reflect variations that may occur between explorations, across

Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 13 the site, or due to the modifying effects of weather. The nature and extent of such variations may not become evident until during or after construction.

Field Exploration Description

Our field exploration consisted of performing thirteen soil borings at the project site. The borings were extended to depths of about 10.2 to 25.3 feet below the existing grades. The boring locations were laid out in the field by Terracon personnel. The approximate boring locations are indicated on Exhibits A-2 and A-3. The ground surface elevations indicated on the boring logs are also approximate, likely within 1 foot, and were interpreted from topography shown site plan

SP101, dated January 5, 2017, provided by WBRC Architects and Engineers. The locations and elevations of the borings should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the means and methods used to define them.

The borings were drilled with a truck-mounted drill rig using hollow-stemmed augers to advance the boreholes. Samples were obtained using a split-barrel sampler and Standard Penetration

Test (SPT) procedures. In the SPT procedure, a standard 2-inch outer diameter split-barrel sampling spoon is driven into the ground with a 140-pound hammer falling a distance of 30 inches.

An automatic SPT hammer was used to advance the split-barrel sampler in the borings performed for this project. A significantly greater efficiency is achieved with the automatic hammer compared to the conventional safety hammer operated with a cathead and rope. This higher efficiency has an appreciable effect on the SPT N-value. The effect of the automatic hammer's efficiency has been considered in the interpretation and analysis of the subsurface information for this report.

The number of blows required to advance the sampling spoon the last 12 inches of a normal 18-inch penetration is recorded as the standard penetration resistance value. These values are indicated on the boring logs at the corresponding depths of occurrence.

Field logs of the borings were prepared by Terracon personnel. The samples were sealed and returned to the laboratory for testing and classification. Each log included visual classification of the materials encountered during drilling as well as the personnel's interpretation of the subsurface conditions between samples. The boring logs included with this report represent an interpretation of the field logs by a geotechnical engineer and include modifications based on laboratory observation and tests on select samples.
