In addition to FAR 52.236-9 Protection of Existing Vegetation, Structures, Equipment, Utilities, and Improvements:
a. Remove or alter existing work in such a manner as to prevent injury or damage to any portions of the existing work which remain.
b. Repair or replace portions of existing work which have been altered during construction operations to match existing or adjoining work, as approved by the Contracting Officer. At the completion of operations, existing work must be in a condition equal to or better than that which existed before new work started.
c. At Contractor's own expense, Contractor shall immediately restore to service and repair any damage caused by Contractor's workmen to tHexisting piping and conduits, wires, cables, etc., of utility services or of fire protection systems and communications systems
SECTION 01 11 00 Page 2
(including telephone).
d. The Contractor shall repair any damage to those facilities, including those that are the property of a third party, resulting from failure to comply with the requirements of this contract or failure to exercise reasonable care in performing the work. If the Contractor fails or refuses to repair the damage promptly, the Contracting Officer may have the necessary work performed and charge the cost to the Contractor.
1.7 LOCATION OF UNDERGROUND UTILITIES
Obtain digging permits prior to start of excavation, and comply with Installation requirements for locating and marking underground utilities.
No excavation whether minor or major including trenching, sidewalk replacement, etc. will be permitted without an approved digging permit.
Contractor shall apply for renewal of work permits as required if the work continues beyond the original permit expiration date. Contact local utility locating service a minimum of 15 days prior to excavating, to mark utilities, and within sufficient time required if work occurs on a Monday or after a Holiday. Verify existing utility locations indicated on contract drawings, within area of work. Work on or near roadways shall be flagged in accordance with the safety requirements in Safety and Health Requirements Manual EM 385-1-1, which forms a part of these specifications. Work located along the alert force route shall not cause blockage, and the Contractor shall maintain unobstructed access for alert force traffic at all times.
Identify and mark all other utilities not managed and located by the local utility companies. Scan the construction site with Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), electromagnetic, or sonic equipment, and mark the surface of the ground or paved surface where existing underground utilities are discovered. Verify the elevations of existing piping, utilities,and any type of underground obstruction not indicated, or specified to be removed, that is indicated or discovered during scanning, in locations to be traversed by piping, ducts, and other work to be conducted or installed.
Verify elevations before installing new work closer than nearest manhole or other structure at which an adjustment in grade can be made.
1.7.1 Notification Prior to Excavation
Notify the Contracting Officer at least 30 days prior to starting excavation work. The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining a digging permit prior to commencing any excavation. The digging permit is referred to as the "Dig-Safe Permit" and the procedure for obtaining this permit is as follows:
a. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing 30 working days prior to commencing any excavation. Notification letter and a completed Dig Safe Permit Request will be submitted to the Contracting Officer and must include areas to be excavated, reason for excavation, depth of excavation, and any supporting information such as drawings to allow the processing of permit. A copy of the Dig Safe Permit Request is attached below. The top portion of the request must be filled out by the Contractor. The Contractor shall not be compensated for any delay caused by failure to notify government on timely basis to obtain the digging permit.
b. Once the permit is approved and signed by the Chief of the Utilities
SECTION 01 11 00 Page 3
Division a Dig-Safe Permit will be issued to the contractor. From the issuance of the Dig-Safe permit, the Contractor has two weeks to commence excavation, after that the permit will no longer be valid and will have to be re-submitted.
c. Once utilities have been identified and marked, it is the responsibility of the contractor to maintain markings throughout the duration of the project.
d. In the event that any utility line is damaged, all excavation will stop, and the Contracting Officer and U&FD (845-938-2818) will be contacted immediately. The U&FD will take appropriate action to effect safe repair. If utility lines are uncovered which were not identified in the Dig-Safe, the U&FD will be contacted, and a determination will be made as to which utility is involved and whether the lines are active or abandoned. When an unknown line is uncovered, it will be treated as "live" until determined otherwise.
e. The Dig-Safe permit may be received by the requestor with special instructions. These instructions must be complied with. These instructions will involve procedures that are determined safe by the Chief, Utilities and Facilities Division and will have to be followed.
f. Excavation may generate further actions depending upon each situation.
Unknown utility locations must be recorded and drawings changed to show location.
g. There are no exceptions to the Dig-Safe Permit process.
h. See SOP 11-7 ANNEX V for additional requirements to obtain a Dig Safe Permit.
1.8 SALVAGE MATERIAL AND EQUIPMENT
Items designated by the Contracting Officer to be salvaged remain the property of the Government. Segregate, itemize, deliver and off-load the salvaged property at the Government designated storage area located within five miles of the construction site.
Provide a salvage plan, listing material and equipment to be salvaged, and their storage location. Maintain property control records for material or equipment designated as salvage. Use a system of property control that is approved by the Contracting Officer. Store and protect salvaged materials and equipment until disposition by the Contracting Officer.

1.0 Scope of Services
This geotechnical engineering report presents the results of the field investigation, soil laboratory testing, and engineering analysis of the geotechnical data. This report specifically addresses the following:
An evaluation of subsurface conditions within the area of the proposed site development, including a seismic site classification per the International Building Code.
Foundation recommendations for support of new columns for the renovation.
Recommendations regarding underpinning of the existing building.
Earthwork recommendations for construction of loadbearing fills.
Services not specifically identified in the contract for this project are not included in the scope of services.
2.0 Site Description and Proposed Construction
The site is located at the existing Bradley Barracks at the United States Military Academy (USMA) in West Point, New York. Specifically, the barracks are located within the Central Zone, northwest of the intersection of Thayer Road and Brewerton Road. Bradley Barracks has one basement level and six above grade levels.
Imagery provided by Google Earth dated April 2016.
Based on the scope of work dated August 11, 2017, it is our understanding the Bradley Barracks will undergo various renovations including the expansion or replacement of the existing elevator and shaft located on the northeast corner of the north wing of the building. Currently, the elevator services the basement to fourth floors, and we understand that the expanded or replaced elevator will service the basement to sixth floor.
According to an email dated January 17, 2018, the existing elevator pit is approximately 4 feet below existing grades. It is our understanding that underpinning may be required if the existing elevator pit is deepened. We also understand that a new column associated with the renovations may be required below
January 31, 2018 16423.01 Page 2 the basement level, and will carry a dead load of approximately 140 kips and a live load of approximately 70 kips.
We also understand that the proposed work may include the removal and replacement of bituminous pavement, curbs, sidewalks, exterior masonry stairs and platforms, and utility lines. Portions of the site may also be regraded.
3.0 Subsurface Conditions
Subsurface conditions were investigated by drilling one Standard Penetration Test (SPT) boring in the building area. The SPT boring was completed by Uni-Tech Drilling of Franklinville, New Jersey under our observation on December 29, 2017, utilizing 3-¼ inch inside diameter hollow stem auger with automatic hammer. The sampler was advanced by driving the spoon into undisturbed soil under the impact of a 140-lbf hammer free-falling from 30 inches height per ASTM D1586-11. The borings were staked by GeoConcepts using available site plans in the field. A test boring log and a boring location plan are presented in Appendix A of this report.
3.1 Geology
The site lies within the Valley and Ridge Physiographic Province of New York. According to local geologic maps, the site is mapped in Gneiss of the Middle Proterozoic geologic eon. Based on our subsurface investigation, the sediments and strata correspond favorably to the geologic publications. The underlying natural soils are residual materials derived from the physical and chemical weathering of the underlying bedrock.
Bedrock was cored from about 41 to 46 feet depth in test boring B-1 for identification and evaluation of the rock. The RQD (Rock Quality Designation) value in the cored rock was measured to be 29 percent, indicating an overall poor rock quality.
3.2 Stratification
The subsurface materials encountered have been stratified for purposes of our discussions herein. These stratum designations do not imply that the materials encountered are continuous across the site. Stratum designations have been established to characterize similar subsurface conditions based on material gradations and parent geology. The generalized subsurface materials encountered in the test borings completed at the site have been assigned to the following strata:
Stratum A – Existing Fill (Approximately 0 to 6 feet) medium dense to very dense, POORLY GRADED SAND (SP)
WITH GRAVEL, SILTY SAND (SM) WITH GRAVEL, WELL
GRADED SAND (SW-SM) WITH SILT AND GRAVEL, FILL,
moist, dark gray, red-brown, white
Stratum B1 – Residual (Approximately 6 to 40 feet) generally loose to medium dense, POORLY GRADED SAND
WITH SILT (SP-SM), WELL GRADED SAND (SW-SM) WITH
SILT, CLAYEY SAND (SC), SILTY SAND (SM), WITH GRAVEL,
moist, dark gray, red-brown
Stratum B2 – Weathered Rock (Approximately 40 to 41 feet) very dense, POORLY GRADED SAND (SP) WITH GRAVEL, moist, dark gray
Stratum B3 – Rock (Approximately 41 feet and deeper) moderately weathered, hard, highly fractured, GRANITIC GNEISS ROCK, light gray
January 31, 2018 16423.01 Page 3
The two letter designations included in the strata descriptions presented above and on the test boring logs represent the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) group symbol and group name for the samples based on laboratory testing per ASTM D2487 and visual classifications per ASTM D2488. It should be noted that visual classifications per ASTM D2488 may not match classifications determined by laboratory testing per ASTM D2487.
3.3 Groundwater
Groundwater level observations were made in the field during drilling of test boring B-1. Groundwater was not encountered during drilling. Due to safety concerns to pedestrians, the borehole was backfilled upon completion.
The groundwater observations presented herein are considered to be an indication of the groundwater levels at the dates and times indicated. Accordingly, the groundwater information presented herein should be used with caution. Also, fluctuations in groundwater levels should be expected with seasons of the year, construction activity, changes to surface grades, precipitation, or other similar factors.
3.4 Soil Laboratory Test Results
Selected soil samples obtained from the field investigation were tested for grain size distribution, Atterberg limits, and natural moisture contents. A summary of soil laboratory test results is presented below in Table 3.4-1, and the results of natural moisture content tests are presented on the test boring logs in Appendix A.

3.5 Seismic Site Classification
Based on the results of the subsurface investigation and our knowledge of local geologic conditions, the site soils have been assigned to a site class D per the International Building Code (IBC).
The site coefficients and adjusted Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) spectral response acceleration parameters were obtained from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) website and are presented below in Tables 3.5-1 and 3.5-2.
Table 3.5-1: Site Coefficients Mapped Spectral Accelerations for Site
Class B and 5% Damping (Step 1) Site Coefficients to Modify Accelerations Based on Site Classification D (Step 2) SS = 0.230 g Fa = 1.6

SM1 = 0.165 g (=S1*Fv) SD1 = 0.110 g (=2/3*SM1)
3.6 Metal Corrosion/Concrete Attack Test Results
In addition to standard geotechnical soil laboratory testing, one sample was submitted to an analytical laboratory for metal corrosion and concrete attack testing. Corrosion testing consisted of analysis for moisture content (ASTM D2216), pH (EPA 9045/AASHTO T29), resistivity (ASTM G57/AASHTO T288), sulfides (EPA 9030), and reduction-oxidation potential (ASTM D1498 mod.). The results of these tests are presented below in Table 3.6-1:

For each test presented in Table 3.6-1, points are assigned based on the range of the test results. If the total points from the five tests completed for a particular sample are 10 or more, the soil is considered to be corrosive. The methods described herein are based on information from the American Water Works Association (AWWA). Using the methods described by AWWA, the point total for the samples tested averaged 6. Accordingly, the site soils are considered non-corrosive.
January 31, 2018 16423.01 Page 5
Sulfate tests (CA Test 417/AASHTO T290) and Chloride (AASHTO T291) were performed on selected soil samples to determine the severity of sulfate attack on concrete structures. The results of sulfate testing are presented below in Table 3.6-2.

3.9 Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Test Results
A total of five areas of the existing slab on the Second Floor in Room 263, the hallway, and the adjacent lockers, were scanned using ground penetrating radar (GPR) by GPRS. GPR results indicated the reinforcing steel in the slab is approximately 10-inch spacing on center, and the depth to the cover of the reinforcing steel varied. The slab thickness ranged from approximately 8 to 10 inches thick. The GPRS report can be found in Appendix A.
3.10 Torvane and Pocket Penetrometer Test Results
Cohesive soil samples were tested with a Torvane and Pocket Penetrometer. Test results can be found below in Table 3.10-1 for the samples tested.

4.0 Engineering Analysis
Recommendations regarding foundations, underpinning, and earthwork are presented herein.
4.1 Spread Footings
Based on the basement floor elevation for the existing building, generally medium dense natural soils should be encountered at proposed spread footing elevations for possible new columns. Spread footings founded in these materials are considered suitable for support of the possible new columns, and may be designed with a net allowable soil bearing pressure of 2,500 psf.
Individual column footing should be at least 30 inches wide for local or punching shear considerations. A maximum slope of one horizontal to one vertical (1H:1V) should be maintained between the bottom edges of adjacent footings. Settlement of the spread footing should not exceed about 0.75-inch, and different settlement between adjacent foundation elements should not exceed about this amount.
Footing subgrades should be observed and approved prior to placement of concrete, to ascertain that footings are placed on suitable bearing soils as recommended herein. Footings should be excavated and concrete placed the same day in order to avoid disturbance from water or weather. Disturbance of footing subgrades by exposure to water seepage or weather conditions should be avoided. Any existing fill, disturbed, frozen, or soft subgrade soils should be removed prior to placing footing concrete. Forms may be used if necessary, but less subgrade disturbance is anticipated if excavations are made to the required dimensions and concrete placed against the soil. If footings are formed, the forms should be removed and the excavation backfilled as soon as possible. Water should not be allowed to pond along the outside of footings for long periods of time.
4.2 Underpinning
It may be necessary to underpin the existing buildings to transfer building loads below excavation levels.
Underpinning of the existing foundations using traditional pit type construction should be feasible. The pits should be sized with an allowable soil bearing pressure of 2,500 psf when founded on the medium dense soils of Stratum B1. There is a risk of additional building movements during the underpinning procedure.
The excavations for underpinning should be completed in relatively short lengths to minimize damage to the existing building. Maximum lengths of underpinning pits should be provided by the structural engineer.
January 31, 2018 16423.01 Page 7
The underpinning work should be completed by a specialty contractor with demonstrated experienced in this kind of work. The subgrade for each pit should be observed by a geotechnical engineer to verify conditions are similar to those assumed in this analysis and to confirm construction is performed consistent with these recommendations. It may be necessary to perform hand auger borings into the underpinning pit bearing surface to verify soil conditions.
4.3 Earthwork
Fill may be required for new pavement, curbs, sidewalks, exterior masonry stairs and platforms, and regrading. Unsuitable existing fill, soft or loose natural soils, organic material, and rubble should be stripped to approved subgrades as determined by the geotechnical engineer.
Fill material should be placed in lifts not exceeding 8 inches loose thickness, with fill materials compacted by hand operated tampers or light compaction equipment placed in maximum 4-inch thick loose lifts.
