13 PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF SERA -ICES
The purpose of our services was to provide a geotechnical evaluation of the site to assist the
project team in designing the new Fry's Electronics Superst--- in Renton_ Our specific scope of
v services included the following:
Task 1: Field Investigation - Our field exploration program consisted of 10 soil borings
(designated 13-1 through B-10) for the superstore building and 10 borings (designated B-11
through B-20) for the parking lot and interior roadways. Each boring within the building
footprint was drilled sufficiently deep to achieve at least 10 vertical feet of embedment into
competent bearing soil. We installed 2-inch diameter piezometers with flush mounted,
locking monuments for monitoring the water levels only in each of the proposed building's
four comer borings. The borings that were drilled in the parking and interior access
roadways to depths of about 11.5 feet bgs.
Task 1: Laboratory Testing - Gradation analyses were conducted on 5 selected samples from
the borings drilled in the buildine area, to aid in classifying the soil and in evaluating
pertinent engineering properties for design.
Task 3: Analyses and .Report - Results of our studies are summarized in this report prepared
under the supervisior. of a registered professional engineer. The report includes the following
items:
- Vicinity Map and a Site Plan Drawing showing the approximate boring locations;
- Logs of borings;
- Results of laboratory tests, if performed;
- Discussion of regional and local geology and site seismicity-,
- Discussion of the potential for liquefaction of site soils during earthquakes;
- Discussion of general site conditions;
- Discussion of general subsurface conditions as encountered in our field exploration;
- Recommendations for foundation design and.or alternatives, including allowable soil
bearing pressures, and embedment depths;
