penalties, expenses, attorney’s or attorneys’ fees, costs, and/or litigation expenses to or
by any and all persons or entities, to the extent arising from, resulting from, or related to

employees from soliciting, accepting, or receiving any gift, gratuity or favor from any

Subject: Agreement for Professional Services
800 W Perimeter Road Building Structural Assessment, Renton, Washington
Dear Mr. Adams:
Thank you for inviting Reid Middleton to propose providing structural engineering services for the
800 W Perimeter Road Building Structural Assessment. We are looking forward to working with
you on this project.
A. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Significant soil settlement has been observed around Building 790 and Building 800 at
Renton Municipal Airport. A report was provided to Reid Middleton, dated March 31, 2003,
written by the geotechnical engineering firm Golder Associates, that documents voids
beneath the ground floor slab at Building 800. The report included remediation
recommendations to provide grout into the voids to re-support the ground floor slab on the
soils below. An additional report was provided to Reid Middleton, dated October 5, 2022,
written by Century West Engineering, documenting a pavement settlement evaluation for the
parking lot area around Building 790 and Building 800. This report identifies that ongoing
soil settlement caused damage to underground utilities (waterline break), disrupted surface
stormwater drainage, and disrupted building egress. The report noted that overall soil
settlement has exceeded 6-inches to 9-inches in some locations.
It is understood that the majority of Building 800 was built around the year 1966 by The
Boeing Company. Per record documents, there was a building that existed at the site prior to
the construction of the current Building 800. It is understood that the superstructure of the
previous building was demolished, but the ground floor slab and foundations of the previous
structure remained. The construction of Building 800 included new foundations for the
expanded footprint (timber piles), additional concrete ground floor slab, and a new steel
superstructure. The steel superstructure is 1-story and consists of metal roof deck, supported
by light-gauge steel z-purlins that span to non-prismatic steel girders, supported by steel
columns. At end spans, the steel columns are non-prismatic (tapered) columns. Interior
columns are built-up steel columns with a typical “I” shape.In modern construction, this type
of steel framing is typical of pre-engineered metal buildings.
EXHIBIT A
Mr. William Adams
Renton Municipal Airport
January 8, 2024
File No. 262023.913.116
Page 2
Reid Middleton visited the building site on December 7, 2023 to observe the structure and
the building perimeter. Evidence of interior ground floor slab settlement was observed.
Significant floor slab settlement has caused damage to architectural finishes (cracked tiles
and cracked gypsum wallboard), gaps around doors, visually-observable sloping/uneven
floors, and has made the kitchenette area difficult to use due to uneven settlement of the floor
and cabinets. These conditions are particularly prevalent in the southern portion of the
building.
It is understood that Renton Municipal Airport intends to undertake a future renovation or
replacement of Building 800. However, this work would likely be five to ten years in the
future. At this time, Renton Municipal Airport would like to receive a letter report
documenting safety issues with the structural framing of the building that require remediation
prior to the expected renovation or replacement project.
B. SCOPE OF SERVICES
1. Document Review & Project Definition
Reid Middleton will review received documentation to supplement information
observed at the project site. Past reports and record drawings will be reviewed to
understand general configuration of the structure and general understanding of the
structure’s construction. Reid Middleton will also coordinate the work internally and
communicate the status of the investigation with Renton Municipal Airport. Reid
Middleton will have periodic calls with Renton Municipal Airport to discuss the
status of the work, discuss findings, or discuss additional information that may be
required to supplement the available information.
2. Building Assessment & Structural Calculations
Reid Middleton will review the building and the current conditions of the building, as
observed at the building site for identified issues with the building’s structural
framing. This will include documenting information obtained from the site such as
photos, field notes, and anecdotal information stated by building occupants and
managers. In addition, Reid Middleton will conduct limited structural calculations to
evaluate existing grade beam framing. The building assessment and structural
calculations will be limited to items brought to the attention of Reid Middleton by
Renton Municipal Airport staff and items visually observed at the building site.
3. Letter Report
Reid Middleton will write a sealed letter report, summarizing the observations,
assessment, results, and recommendations determined from the work conducted in
Section B, Items 1 and 2.

information to Reid Middleton as necessary to complete the services outlined in Section B
