foundations. (?tr design criteria are based on these construction recommendations-, there -fore,
these recommendations should be incorporated into the project specifications in their entirety.

Where possible, we refer to the 2000 Edition of the State of Washington Standard Specificaticr.s
for Road, Bridge. and Municipal Construction.
5.1.3 Reference Standards
Reference Standards are referred to by agency or association initials and are from the latest
editions of the following
ASTNI - American Society for Testing and :Materials: Annual Book of ASTM Standards
AWS -American Welding Society (if steel piles are to be used)
5.1.4 Geotechnical Engineer
We recommend you retain Kleinfelder as the geotechnical engineer during construction to
observe and test the geotechnical aspects of the contractors work. This will allow us to compare
the actual conditions encountered with those expected by this investigation and to modify our
recommendations, if necessary. We will be present at the site on a full-time basis to check that
the contractor's work conforms with the geotechnical aspects of the plans and specifications.
Our daily field reports and final report form an important record of construction. Observation
and testing by the geotechnical engineer, however, should not in any way release the contractor
