Subject: LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING GEOLOGIC RISK
Fire Station 15 and Kennydale Reservoir
Renton, Washington
Dear Clark,
Schreiber Starling Whitehead Architects and Murraysmith commissioned HWA GeoSciences
Incorporated (HWA) to perform a Geotechnical Engineering Report for the Fire Station 15
and Kennydale Reservoir projects, respectively. HWA performed field explorations,
laboratory testing, and engineering analysis for both projects. During the investigation, HWA
did not find evidence to suggest that the site for the proposed projects is unstable or has any
geologic risk. However, it is our understanding that the applicants: Michael Kirk for the Fire
Station 15 project and Abdoul Gafour for the Water Reservoir project understand and accept
the risk of developing the site if unstable conditions be discovered on the site during
development process. Furthermore, the applicants will advise, in writing, any prospective
purchasers of the site, or any prospective purchasers of structures or portions of structures on
the site, of any unstable potential on the site.
Should you have any questions, or require additional information, please contact us at your
convenience.
Sincerely,
Sandy R. Brodahl, P.E.
Geotechnical Engineer, Principal
HWA GEOSCIENCES INC.
