FAMILIARIZATION WITH THE WORK Before submitting his bid, the Bidder shall familiarize himself with the work, rules governing acceptance of his work, site where the work is performed, labor conditions, the conditions and



facilities at the site for delivery and installation, all laws, regulations and other factors affecting performance of the work. The prospective bidder shall carefully correlate his observations with the requirement of the bidding documents and contact drawings, and otherwise satisfy himself of the expense and difficulties attending performance of the work, including delivery of material and equipment. The submission of a bid will constitute an incontrovertible representation by the bidder that he has complied with every requirement of this paragraph. 11. INTERPRETATION OR CORRECTION OF BIDDING DOCUMENTS

The Work includes not only Work specified on or obvious from the Contract Documents, including but not limited to plans, specifications, and drawings, but also such Work as would be reasonably implied or expected in view of the nature, character and purpose of the Project. Before construction begins, the Contractor will review the finalized Contract Documents and confirm in writing such review. Unless the Contractor notifies Owner and Architect in writing to the contrary before construction commences, it shall be presumed that no change in payments due to the Contractor will be required because of any changes, modifications or refinements to or in the Contract Documents from earlier versions. Should any change in payment be expected or sought, the Owner reserves the right to cancel and rescind this contract without further obligation to the Contractor. The Owner and Contractor may, however, agree to change orders.

12.

13. FAILURE TO EXECUTE CONTRACT

Failure to comply with any of the requirements of these Instructions to execute the Contract within Fifteen (15) days after notice of award as specified or to furnish specified bonds and certificates of insurance as required shall be just cause for the annulment of the award.

Award may then be made to the next lowest responsible bidder as determined in accord with paragraph 8.

Ottumwa Community School District 1112 N. Van Buren Ottumwa, IA 52501 Attn: Mr. Alex T. Barr RE: Geotechnical Investigation: Schafer Stadium Bleachers-Ottumwa, IA Dear Mr. Barr: At your request, our firm has completed the geotechnical investigation for the proposed new Schafer Stadium seating system. Scope of Services The scope of our services for this project consisted of investigating the site's subsurface conditions by drilling two (3) test borings at accessible locations south of the existing stadium bleachers. The locations of the borings are indicated on the site image in the appendix to this report. Ground surface elevations were determined using existing topographic information gathered by our survey crews. The scope of services also consisted of a laboratory testing program and engineering analyses of the soil-structure interactions with subsequent foundation recommendations for the seating system. Site Description The proposed new stadium seating system will replace the existing deteriorated bleachers at Schafer Stadium on 4th Street East in Ottumwa. Ottumwa is located in the Southern Iowa Drift Plain and is found in the Galesburg Plain Subsection, in the Till Plains Section of the Central Lowland Province of the Interior Plains Physiographic Division. The area in general is characterized by relatively flat to rolling, grass covered hills and plains with areas of timber found alongside the creeks and rivers. The drainage features in this area are dendritic in structure and regionally the area flows to the south toward the Des Moines River. The topography and drainage can trace its origin back to the glaciation events of the Illinoisan stage and the thick to semi-thick loessial deposits of Quaternary Age. Generally in this area of Wapello County, Devonian Age bedrock is found at depths less than 50 feet. Proposed Development The proposed stadium seating system is to consist of new aluminum bleachers supported by a structural steel framing system that is based on drilled, cast in place concrete shafts. The new drill shafts will be installed thru the deteriorated concrete bleachers. We also understand that the top of the upper platform will be at or near elev. 736.4 while the lower walkway will be at about elev. 723.75. The existing upper sidewalk just south of the bleachers is at elev. 734 ± while the field is at elev. 713±.

Alex Barr March 24, 2017 Page 2

Subsurface Conditions The subsurface conditions at the boring locations consisted of recent fill and oxidized, weathered Kansan glacial drift (till) overlying Devonian shale. Below concrete and asphalt pavement, recent fill was encountered to depths of 5 to 10 feet and it was composed of medium to hard fat and lean clay (CH and CL). N values and unconfined compressive strengths in the fill varied from 3 to 9 blows per foot and 1.64 to 4.47 TSF respectively. The oxidized till below the fill was composed of stiff to hard lean to fat clay (CL-CH) and sandy lean clay (CL). Unconfined compressive strengths in the till ranged from 1.51 to 4.88 TSF while N values varied from 7 to 20 blows per foot. Weathered shale was found at depths of 20 to 25 feet (elev. 708 to 714). Relatively intact shale was encountered at depths of 25 to 30 feet (elev. 709 to 704). N values in the weathered shale and shale varied from 17 to 100+ blows per foot while unconfined compressive strengths ranged from 4.32 to 6.73 TSF. Groundwater observations were made during drilling and at completion of the borings. B-1 was dry during drilling and B-3 was dry at 4 hours after completion. Perched groundwater was found at a depth of 17.5 feet (elev. 716) at B-2 and it rose to 15 feet (elev. 718.5) 1.5 hours after completion. Geotechnical Engineering Analyses and Foundation Recommendations The results of the geotechnical investigation indicate that the proposed Shafer Stadium new seating system may be supported by drilled, cast in place shafts based in shale at estimated depths of 25 to 30 feet. At the borings, the estimated bearing elevations ranged from 708 to 704. Straight shaft drilled piers may be proportioned for a maximum net allowable end bearing pressure of 20 kips per square foot (FS=2) if drilled to intact shale. Allowable (FS=2) side friction in weathered shale may be computed using 4,000 PSF. Rock coring is not anticipated to be necessary for the allowable end bearing pressure previously recommended. Unit prices for shallower and deeper pier length should be obtained prior to construction to allow for variations in the shale bearing elevation(s) and we recommend that the pier drilling process be continuously inspected by one of our geotechnical engineers and/or engineering technicians in order to confirm the expected presence of the bearing stratum. Concrete should be placed immediately upon completion of drilling, inspection and setting of the reinforcing cage in order to reduce sidewall sloughing and groundwater influx. Unit prices for the installation of temporary casing and groundwater removal should be obtained prior to construction since the piers may have to be temporarily cased and dewatered prior to concreting. Seismicity Based on the subsurface conditions encountered and the areal geology, the site class is closest to C in accordance with ASCE 7-05. Liquefaction potential for the site is low, although some vertical and horizontal displacement should be expected during a major earthquake.

Conclusions The geotechnical investigation, including exploration, testing and analyses has been completed for the Schafer Stadium new seating system in Ottumwa, IA. The analyses, conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are based on the site conditions and project descriptions presented in this report and the subsurface conditions disclosed by the exploratory borings. The conclusions and recommendations presented are professional opinions based on the above conditions, professional judgement and experience. If, during design and construction, changes occur either in the proposed construction, due to natural causes or construction operations at the site, from a substantial lapse in time, or should subsurface conditions encountered during construction differ materially from those presented, we should be contacted to review any changes in circumstances and conditions to evaluate the effects on the analyses, conclusions and recommendations presented. The borings were spaced to obtain a reasonably accurate picture of the subsurface conditions. However, variations in the subsurface conditions not indicated by the borings are always possible. These data are supplied for the benefit of the designers and owner, and do not express or imply any warranty of the subsurface conditions. Completed foundation excavations, foundation construction, site grading, backfill and pavement construction should be observed and tested during the construction phase by a qualified professional to verify the subsurface conditions and the design assumptions. The scope of our services did not include environmental assessment or investigation for the presence or absence of hazardous or toxic materials in the soil, groundwater or surface water within or beyond the site studied. Any statements in this report regarding odors, staining of soils, or other unusual conditions observed are strictly for the information of our client. If you have any questions concerning this investigation, feel free to call. Very truly yours, GEOTECHNICS

FIELD INVESTIGATION The field investigation consisted of a site inspection, subsurface exploration and sampling, as well as field testing and visual classification of the soils encountered. The site inspection provided information concerning existing topography and recent manmade alterations. During this inspection the locations and ground elevations for each of the borings were determined. Subsurface exploration and sampling was conducted in an effort to define the soil profile and to obtain disturbed and/or undisturbed representative samples of the various soils encountered for the purposes of the laboratory investigation. Test borings were completed with a CME 55/75 drill rig equipped with hollow stem augers or continuous flight solid stem augers. The hollow stem augers permit convenient access to the undisturbed soil below the auger bit which allows the driller to obtain a soil sample at any desired depth. Unless instructed otherwise, the boreholes upon completion were backfilled with auger cuttings (soil). Periodic observation and maintenance of the backfilled boreholes should be performed to monitor for subsidence at the ground surface as the borehole backfill could settle over time. As the test borings were advanced, two methods of sampling were employed to recover soils from the undisturbed strata below the auger bit. Representative disturbed samples were obtained from a standard Split Spoon. These samples were recovered by driving a 2” O.D. (1⅜” I.D.) Split Spoon sampler in accordance with ASTM D 1586-08. Relatively undisturbed samples were obtained in cohesive soils by hydraulically pushing a thin walled seamless tube sampler into the soil in accordance with ASTM D 1587-00 (2007). These Shelby Tubes were 3” in outside diameter. One or both of these methods may have been utilized based on site conditions and/or job specific requirements. Additionally, disturbed samples collected from auger cuttings may have been obtained as needed to further facilitate identification of the subsurface conditions. The recovered samples were described in the field according to color, texture, grain size, plasticity and consistency, as recommended by ASTM D 2488-06, "Description and Identification of Soils (Visual-Manual Procedure)". Split Spoon samples when obtained were sealed in glass jars and labeled while Shelby Tube samples when obtained were sealed within the tubes and also labeled. Auger cuttings when obtained were sealed in an air tight container to preserve the natural moisture content. The samples were all carefully stored for later use in the laboratory testing program. Field tests were conducted in an effort to establish the shearing strength of the soil. Though the results of these tests were not used alone as a basis for shearing strength determination, they were helpful in predicting the behavior of the soil mass and should be considered approximate. Where applicable, further laboratory testing and evaluation in conjunction with the field testing program was essential in determining the soil conditions. The field testing program included the Standard Penetration Test conducted in accordance with ASTM D 1586-08. In this test, administered during the Split Spoon sampling procedure, a 2” O.D. (1 ⅜” I.D.) 24” long standard Split Spoon was driven into the soil through a depth of 18” by a 140 pound weight dropped a distance of 30”. The penetration resistance, "N", was recorded as the number of blows, from the falling weight, required to drive the sampler through the final 12 inches. This penetration resistance provided a measure of the relative density of cohesionless soils and an estimate of the consistency of cohesive materials.

Recovered cohesive samples were tested, when possible, by the use of a calibrated penetrometer. The values from this test were considered an approximate measure of the consistency of the cohesive soils. The penetrometer values as well as the measures of penetration resistance were later correlated with the results of the laboratory tests conducted on cohesive soil samples obtained from the Split Spoon and/or Shelby Tube samples. The results of the field tests on each soil sample, as well as the soil descriptions, were recorded on field boring logs as the subsurface exploration progressed. These field boring logs were later modified to reflect the more elaborate analysis provided by the laboratory testing program. These modified field boring logs are the final boring logs that are attached to this report. LABORATORY INVESTIGATION The laboratory investigation involved the completion of classification tests on select undisturbed samples as well as select disturbed samples of the soils that were obtained from the various soil layers encountered beneath the site. Based on the field logs/records and our examination of the samples in the laboratory, a soil testing program was developed to acquire more information about the soil conditions at the site. Representative samples from the various soil strata were tested (site specific determination) in accordance with ASTM Specifications for the natural moisture content (ASTM D 2216-05). These parameters were used in identifying the soils through the Unified Soil Classification System (ASTM D 2487-06). This System, which is standardized and widely accepted, enables the Geotechnical Engineer to classify a soil using quantitative test results. A brief description of this classification system is contained in this report. Predictions of the soil behavior during and after construction may readily be made through the use of this comparative type of classification. Disturbed Split Spoon and/or relatively undisturbed Shelby Tube samples of the cohesive soils were tested to determine unit weight and an approximation of the unconfined compressive strength. These tests were conducted with controlled strain by the use of a hand-operated compression apparatus with a double proving ring in accordance with ASTM D 2166-06. The results of some of the tests must be considered cautiously, recognizing that Split Spoon samples are disturbed and that these samples, when tested, will provide slightly conservative values in relation to the probable conditions in the field. The relatively undisturbed Shelby Tube samples, however, should approach the condition of the soils in-situ and the results of unconfined compression tests on these samples should be fairly accurate. Upon completion of the laboratory testing program the final boring logs were prepared utilizing the data obtained from the laboratory testing and the initial data/records contained on the field boring logs. The remaining soil samples after all testing is completed will be stored at our office(s) for a minimum period of two months. After 30 days, the samples may be discarded unless written notification is provided.

BLOWS - The "blows" are the recorded results of the Standard Penetration Test (SPT). In this

field test, a standard Split Spoon Sampler (2" O.D.- 1 3/8" I.D.) is driven into the soil for a total penetration of 18 inches by a 140-pound hammer which is repeatedly dropped freely for a distance of 30 inches.

The number of blows are recorded (field logs) for each 6 inches of penetration, and the penetration resistance, "N", is considered as the number of blows required for the last 12 inches of penetration. EXAMPLE: 3-8-6 "N" = 14 blows/foot The SPT "N" value for split-spoon refusal conditions is typically estimated as greater than 100 blows per foot. When split-spoon refusal occurs, often little or no sample is recovered. For our own in-house purposes, refusal is estimated at 50 blows per 6 inches. Where the sampler is observed not to penetrate after 50 blows, the "N" value is reported as 50/0". Otherwise, the depth of penetration after 50 blows is reported in inches (i.e. 50/5", 50/2"). Should the sampler not penetrate the full 18 inches, the results are recorded as follows: EXAMPLE: 6-21-50/3" This means that 6 blows were required for the first 6 inches of penetration, 21 blows were required for the second 6 inches of penetration, and 50 blows were required for the last 3 inches of penetration.
