bases, including: a lump sum base bid and lump sum bids for three (3) alternates.

accomplish this Alternate.
E.If the solicitation includes unit prices, they should be Bid. Unit prices will be added to the

timely manner the payment and performance bonds, certificates of insurance, Contractor’s
Construction Schedule, and all other documents required in the Contract Documents.
Should the Bidder fail or refuse to enter into the Contract or fail to furnish such documents,
the amount of the Bid Security shall be forfeited to the Owner as liquidated damages, not
as a penalty. By submitting its Bid, each Bidder agrees that any forfeiture of the Bid Security

Failure of the Bidder to provide the Bid Security when required shall render the bid non-
responsive.

certified check or cashier’s check made payable to the City of Renton Treasurer. The
Attorney-in-Fact who executes the bond on behalf of the surety shall be licensed to do

further obligation to the Owner without penalty. If it is disapproved, the Owner may retain
the Bidder’s Bid Security.

hoods, fixed light / spandrel / panel, window bypass and tie-ins to adjacent
systems.
2) Construct a stand alone chamber located on the site as indicated or as
directed by the Architect.
3) Test Chambers:
a) Steel studs and plywood or gypsum board. Steel studs, top and bottom
track, stud spacing and fastening shall be same as exterior walls (4 inch
studs at 16 inches on center). Install gypsum on the exterior side of the
test chamber.
b) Seal or tape joints and to adjacent concrete slabs and columns. Seal the
chamber to the exterior enclosure assembly beyond the edge of the test
section.
c) Access door 3’0 x 6’8” to allow entrance and exit into chamber. Door
must be removable and sealable for air leakage.
d) Provide water and electricity at the location of the chamber. Electricity
both in and outside, water outside only.

application methods recommended as producing the best results.
B . Apply anti-graffiti coating on all masonry surfaces within 20 feet of grade and other horizontal
public occupied surfaces.
C . Apply at rate recommended by manufacturer, continuously over entire surface.
D . Apply two coats, minimum.
E . Remove water repellent from unintended surfaces immediately by a method instructed by
water repellent manufacturer.
F . Provide manufacturer's field service representative to inspect preparation and application
work for at least 3 hours on first day to ensure that manufacturer's "best practices" for
preparation and application are being followed.
3.4 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A . Manufacturer's representative's attendance for mockup and preinstallation conference is
required.
B . Provide manufacturer's field service representative to inspect preparation and application
work continuously during entire application period to ensure that manufacturer's "best
practices" for preparation and application are being followed.
C . Field testing:
1. Equipment: Vertical and Horizontal RILEM tubes, and putty are available at
http://www.prginc.com/.
2. Procedure: The testing apparatus is affixed by interposing a tape of putty between the
flat, circular brim of the pipe and the surface of the masonry material. To ensure
adhesion, manual pressure is exerted on the cylinder. Water is then added through the
upper, open end of the pipe until the column reaches the 0 gradation mark. The
quantity of water absorbed by the material during a specified period of time is read
directly from the graduated tube. The periods of time appropriate for the test depend on
the porosity of the material on which the measurement is being made; generally 5, 10,
15, 20, 30 and 60 minute intervals provide the most useful data. Measure water
absorption through the mortar joint as well as through the surface of the substrate.

2.1 TESTING
A. A step-by-step checklist must be followed to ensure that every aspect of the medical gas
and vacuum system is tested properly.
B. Prior to having the system certified, the plumbing contractor shall perform items C, D, E, F,
G and local inspectors will typically inspect these.
C. Clean the piping system by clearing it with pressurized, oil-free dry air or nitrogen. This
cleaning shall be performed just after the installation of the piping system, but before the
installation of the alarm switches, manifolds, pressure gauges, and other “peripheral”
components.
D. Visually inspect each brazed joint. This inspection shall be done to make sure that the
brazing alloy has been properly applied to the joint and that there are no discernible
defects. During the inspection, excess flux shall be removed.
E. Before the wallboard application, pressurize each section of the piping system to 150 psig
using oil-free dry air or nitrogen. After the system has been pressurized, each joint shall be
checked for leakage using a soap water solution of other nontoxic leak -detecting agent. If
leaks are detected, the system shall be repaired and re-tested.
F. After testing each individual medical gas system, the completely assembled station outlets
and all other components shall be installed, and subjected to a 24 hour standing pressure
test at 20 percent above normal operated line pressure. This test gas shall be oil-free, dry
nitrogen. The source valve shall be closed. Leaks, if any, shall be located, repaired and
re-tested.
G. Each dedicated gas system shall be tested with oil-free, dry nitrogen, to verify that there are
no cross-connection to any other system. To determine the presence of cross-connections
to any other system. To determine the presence of cross-connections is to pressurize only
one system to 50 psig at a time, and then test each outlet to verify that the gas exists only
at each of the expected outlets.

H. Each dedicated gas system shall be purged of contaminants by flushing with the
appropriate source gas while under system pressure. The piping system for each gas shall
be purged by successively opening each outlet in progressive order, starting with the outlet
that is nearest the pressure source and ending at the outlet that is farthest from the
pressure source. The gas shall be purged through a white cloth material at a flow rate of at
least 100 liters per minute until there is no longer any evidence of discoloration or
particulate. It is also important to purge for a sufficiently long time so that all of the test gas
previously used has been removed from the system.
Start-up, testing and certification of the medical gas systems shall be conducted by a
factory trained representative with a minimum of five- (5) years of experience in medical
gas pipeline testing and certification. Proof of two million dollars liability insurance should
be requested by the Owner/General Contractor.

2. The dental vacuum pump
3. The outlets
I. Cross-Connection Test:
1. After closing of walls and completion of requirements of NFPOA 99-1993 4-5.1.2, it
shall be determined that no cross-connection of piping systems exists. All medical gas
systems shall be reduced to atmospheric pressure. All sources of test gas from all of
the medical gas systems, with the exception of the one system to be checked, shall be
disconnected. This system shall be pressurized with oil-free nitrogen to 50 psig (350
kPa gauge). With appropriate adapter matching outlet labels, each individual station
outlet of all medical gas systems installed shall be checked to determine that test gas is
being dispensed only from the outlets of the medical gas system being tested.
2. The source of test gas shall be disconnected and the system tested reduced to
atmospheric pressure. Proceed to test each additional piping system in accordance
with G (1).
3. Where a medical vacuum piping system is installed, the cross-connection testing shall
include that piped vacuum system with all medical gas piping systems.
4. The presence and correctness of labeling required by this standard for all components
(e.g., station outlets, shutoff valves, and signal panels) shall be verified.
J. Valve Test:
1. Valves installed in each dental gas piping system shall be tested to verify proper
operation and rooms or areas of control.
K. Flow Test:
1. All outlets shall be tested for flow. Tests shall be performed with the use of oil-free, dry
nitrogen as described in CGA P-9, Inert Gases: Argon, Nitrogen and Helium.
2. Oxygen outlets shall deliver 3.5 SCFM with a pressure drop of no more than 5 psig (35

purge rates of least 225 L per min. (8 cfm) shall be put on each outlet. After the purge is
started, it shall be rapidly interrupted several times until the purge produces no
discoloration in a white cloth loosely held over the adapter during the purge. In order to
avoid possible damage to the outlet and its components, this test shall not be conducted
using any implement other than the proper adapter.
For each positive-pressure gas system, cleanliness of piping system shall be verified. Filter
a minimum of 35 cu ft (1000 L) of gas through a clean, white 0.45 micron filter at a
minimum flow of 3.5 SCFM (100 Lpm). Filter shall show no discoloration, and shall accrue
no more than 0.1 mg of matter. Each zone shall be tested at the outlet most remote from
the source. Test shall be performed with the use of oil-free, dry nitrogen described in CGA
P-9.
M. Piping Purity Test. For each positive-pressure system, the purity of the piping system shall
be verified. Test each zone at the most remote outlet for dew point, total hydrocarbons (as
methane), and halogenated hydrocarbons, and compare with source gas. The two tests
shall in no case exceed variation as specified in the Maximum Allowable Variation Table,
which follows. Test shall be performed with the use of oil-free nitrogen gas as described in
CGA P-9.
Maximum Allowable Variation Table
Dew Point 5C @ 50 psig
Total Hydrocarbons as Methane 1 ppm
Halogenated Hydrocarbons 2 ppm
N. Final Tie-in Test. Prior to connection of any work or any extension or addition to an existing
piping system, the test in (G) through (L) shall be successfully performed. After connection
to the existing system and before use of addition for patient care, the tests in (N) through
(P) shall be completed. Permanent records of these tests shall be maintained in
accordance with NFPA 99-1993 4-6.3.1.
The final connection between the addition and existing system shall be leak -tested with the
gas of system designation at the normal operating pressure. This pressure shall be
maintained until each joint has been examined for leakage by means of soapy water or
other equally effective means of leak detection safe for use with oxygen.
O. Operational Pressure Test:
1. Piping systems, with the exception of nitrogen systems, shall maintain pressure at 50
+5/-0 psig (345 +35/-0 kPa gauge) at all station outlets at the maximum flow rate in (N)
and (d).
2. Piping systems that vary from the normal pressures in (N) (a) and (b) shall be capable
of delivering flows and pressures consistent with their intended use.
3. Record air delivery for compressed air outlets. This is typically 2 SCFM with a pressure
drop of no more than 5 psig (35 kPa) and static pressure of 50 psig (350 kPa) for drills
and 3 SCFM at 30 psi for low pressure tools.

SCHEDULE B – Functional Performance Tests
Functional Performance Tests
1 The draft versions of the Functional Performance Test and Verification Outline sheets contained
in this Schedule define the individual systems to be tested and Contractor responsibilities based
on the specific method of commissioning. These draft Functional Performance Test and
Verification Outline sheets represent information available at the time of commissioning
specification development. The final versions may be somewhat different and will be included
within the Commissioning Plan as presented at the initial commissioning coordination meeting.
2 The methods of functional performance test and verification are listed in Table 1 of this Schedule.
The Contractor will be responsible for supporting the testing activity as indicated. This may
include developing the test plan and functional performance test forms for approval by the
Commissioning Authority, performing testing to be witnessed by the CxA or providing support
during functional performance testing conducted by the CxA or their sub-Authority.
3 Contract documents state that the Contractor is responsible to demonstrate that all systems
comply with contract requirements and meet the project design intent. The scope of testing
outlined in the following Functional Performance Test and Verification Outline sheets in this
Schedule represent the minimum expected level of testing to be performed during
commissioning. The contractor shall be required to conduct and document any tests as
necessary to prove all systems comply with the design intent. If systems fail the initial tests
additional testing may be required.
4 The following Test Summary Table identifies the functional tests that will be conducted on this
project. This table will be used as a document tracking mechanism for the process of submittal
and review of contractor provided testing documentation.
5 The contractor is responsible for submitting proposed functional test documentation to the
Commissioning Authority for review and approval at least one month prior to these activities. It is
the Contractor’s responsibility to notify the Commissioning Authority in advance of the scheduled
activity, testing or startup date. A minimum of 5 working days advance notification is required. If
the CxA is not notified in advance of a scheduled start-up or testing activity, the start-up or testing
shall be rescheduled and repeated to the satisfaction of the CxA.
6 The “Responsible Contractor” column of the table will be completed during the Initial
Commissioning Coordination Meeting by assigning an individual Contractor responsible for the
activities associated with each system based on what contractor provided that system.

9. The battery charger shall recharge the sully discharged batteries within a 24-hour period.
The charger shall be temperature compensating.
C. Performance Requirements for UPS-Type Emergency Lighting Inverter Equipment:
1. Continuously provide uninterrupted ac power to connected emergency electrical lighting
system.
2. Automatic Operation:
a. Normal Conditions: The UPS Inverter is a line interactive standby system and the
commercial AC power continuously supplies the critical load. The input converter
(bi-directional transformer) derives power from the commercial AC power source
and supplies to the inverter while simultaneously providing floating charge to the
batteries.
b. DC Filter: The charger shall have an output filter to minimize AC ripple voltage into
the battery.
c. Under no conditions shall ripple voltage into the battery exceed 2% RMS.
d. Upon failure of the commercial AC power the inverter instantaneously with a max-
imum of a 2-millisecond break, switches its power supply from the input converter
to the battery system. There shall be no loss of power to the critical load upon the
failure or restoration of the utility source.
e. Upon restoration of commercial AC power after a power outage, the input convert-
er shall automatically restart and start charging the batteries. The critical loads are
powered by the commercial AC power again.
f. If any element in the inverter string fails and power is available at normal supply
terminals of system, static transfer switch transfers the load to normal ac supply
circuit without disturbance or interruption of supply.
g. If a fault occurs in system supplied by the inverter output, and current flows in ex-
cess of the overload rating of the inverter, static transfer switch operates to bypass
fault current to normal ac supply circuit for fault clearing.
h. The charger is equipped with a DC over-voltage protection circuit so that if the DC
voltage rises above the pre-set limit, the charger shuts down automatically and ini-
tiates an alarm condition.
i. When fault has cleared, static transfer switch returns the load to inverter output.
j. If battery is disconnected, inverter continues to supply power to the load with n o
degradation of its regulation of voltage and frequency of output bus.
k. Automatic Re-Start: Upon restoration of utility AC power, after a utility AC power
outage and after a full UPS automatic end-of-discharge shutdown, the UPS will au-
tomatically restart, performing the normal UPS start up.
3. Unit Operating Requirements:
a. Unit is to be 98% efficient.
b. Unit shall be provided with NFPA 101 self testing and data logging.
c. AC Input to UPS:
1) Input AC Voltage Tolerance: Plus 10 and minus 10 percent of central battery
equipment input voltage rating.
2) Input Frequency Tolerance: Plus or minus 3 percent of central battery
equipment frequency rating.
3) Inrush current: 1.25 times nominal input current, 10 times 1 line cycle for in-
candescent loads
4) Current Limit: 125% of nominal input current
5) Current Distortion: 10% THD maximum from 50% to full load

A. Straw mulch shall be applied 2 to 3 inches thick at the rate of 4,000 lb/acre or 2 to 3
bales per 1,000 square feet. Straw shall be crimped to avoid windblow.
3.8 TURBIDITY MONITORING
A. The contractor shall be responsible for meeting turbidity and pH requirements as
stated within the Turbidity Monitoring Report and the NPDES Permit. Additional TESC
measures may be required to achieve discharge requirements. The contractor shall
be responsible for providing additional measures as work progresses to meet turbidity
requirements.
B. The proposed project will implement a turbidity monitoring program in compliance with
the State Surface Water Quality Standards (WAC 173.201 A). The contractor shall be
responsible for coordinating the monitoring plan with the City of Renton Construction
Inspector. Monitoring will be accomplished by testing and comparing upstream flows
to on-site construction runoff flows at the point of discharge. A third party shall
perform the turbidity measuring using an approved turbidity meter. The person
performing the testing and monitoring shall be familiar with the turbidity meter and all
applicable laws and regulations associated with the turbidity monitoring program.
C. Two weeks prior to the beginning of construction, background levels will be
established by testing upstream tributary area twice per week for two weeks. The
stormwater sampling location for establishing the background level will be the catch
basin that is also the discharge point for the construction stormwater runoff from the
site (see TESC Plans). The background turbidity levels will be established as the
baseline of the pre-construction turbidity measurements.
D. Turbidity monitoring and reporting will be required daily during construction in the
rainy season (October 1st through April 30th) and weekly between May 1 and
September 30. Turbidity reports may not be necessary during extended periods of low
flow or no flow conditions; the contractor shall coordinate this arrangement with the
City of Renton Inspector. Due to the anticipated low flow or no flow conditions during
the drier summer months, storm water flow may cease, causing an interruption in the
turbidity monitoring and reporting. The contractor shall make available the monitoring
reports to the City of Renton Inspector.
E. The benchmark for turbidity discharging from construction sites is defined as:
1. Not to exceed 25 NTU.
F. The monitor shall post the turbidity monitoring results on the attached Turbidity
Testing Form. The form shall be posted in the job trailer and distributed to the Owner

as work progresses to meet pH requirements at no additional cost to the Owner.
1. Runoff from soil treated with cement will have altered pH levels. Contractor
shall take precautions to minimize runoff from areas of cement treated soils.
Should runoff occur, adequate treatment of pH levels with methods such as
CO2 sparging is required.
C. pH monitoring shall be conducted with a calibrated pH meter, pH test kit, or wide
range pH indicator paper.
D. pH monitoring shall begin when soil cement treatment first occurs and when concrete
is first poured and exposed to precipitation and continue weekly throughout and after
the concrete pour and curing period, until stormwater pH is in the range of 6.5 to 8.5
Standard Units (su). During this time a representative sample must be obtained to
conduct a pH analysis at least once per week.
E. pH shall be monitored in the sediment pond or other locations that receive stormwater
runoff from the area of significant concrete work before the stormwater discharges to
surface waters.
F. The benchmark value for pH is 8.5 (su). Anytime sampling indicates that pH is 8.5 or
greater, the Permittee must either:
1. Prevent the high pH water (8.5 or above) from entering storm sewer systems
or surface waters; or
2. If necessary, adjust or neutralize the high pH water until it is in the range of pH
6.5 to 8.5 (su) using an appropriate treatment BMP such as carbon dioxide
(CO2) sparging or dry ice. The Contractor must obtain written approval from
Ecology before using any form of chemical treatment other than CO2 sparging
or dry ice.
G. The monitor shall post the monitoring results in the job trailer and distribute to the
Owner and the County Inspector and submit online to DOE. The results shall be
posted immediately after the test is performed. Upon termination of services of the
third-party monitor, a final report must be submitted to the County Inspector.

INTERIOR HVAC NOISE CONTROL REPORT 13 SEPTEMBER 2019
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report summarizes the acoustic review of the mechanical systems for the Family First Community Center, a medical office and activity
center development planned for construction at 16022 116th Avenue, Renton, WA. All recommendations are based on our review of the
mechanical drawings dated August 1, 2019. Noise emissions from proposed mechanical equipment is predicted to building interiors and to
exterior property lines. Noise control recommendations are made based on industry-standard design criteria.
FAMILY FIRST COMMUNITY CENTER PAGE 2
INTERIOR HVAC NOISE CONTROL REPORT 13 SEPTEMBER 2019
2. DESIGN CRITERIA
2.1. ASHRAE HVAC Noise Guidelines
The adopted criteria for mechanical system noise within interior spaces is the Noise Criteria (NC) rating, which is a rating of background
noise based on a comparison of the octave band sound pressure level spectrum of a sound with standardized octave-band sound pressure
level curves. Each NC curve is defined by its sound pressure level for eight octave-band center frequencies. The NC rating is a single
number that represents the recommended octave-band limits of an acceptable background noise level.
Recommended background noise levels for the project are based on the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE) and company experience on past projects. The background noise design goals shown in Table 1 include an
allowance of 5 points/decibels for post-installation performance.

3. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The following noise and vibration control measures are recommended for the mechanical systems to meet the design criteria in the areas
listed in Table 1.
3.1. Air Terminal Devices
When selecting diffusers, registers, or grilles, select an operating point 5-10 NC points lower than the recommended background noise
levels given in Table 1 to ensure regenerated noise at the diffuser will not exceed background noise levels.
3.2. Building Service Penetrations
Where ductwork and piping penetrate walls between adjacent noise sensitive spaces, leave a ¼” to ½” gap between the pipe or duct, and
seal gap resiliently per the drawing below.

L110W G4 Instrument Washer
HYDRIM ® G4
AUTOMATED INSTRUMENT WASHING
the first step in the sterilization process
Efficient
The time saved by automated washing compared
to manual cleaning is approximately 1 hour of labor
for every nine procedural set-ups1. HYDRIM® G4
cycle times are as fast as 44 minutes from
start to dry. HYDRIM® ensures that every set of
instruments receives the same validated cleaning
process.
G4 Technology
There is nothing like SciCan’s G4 Technology.
The large touch screen gives in-depth cycle information
and allows users to view current operations.
From the networking portal, users can access
cycle history and validation information. If there
is ever a cycle fault, the G4 software will send
an email to the office and the service technician,
allowing remote troubleshooting.
Safe
Avoid the many steps involved with manual
washing or using ultrasonic cleaners. Steps such
as pre-soaking, scrubbing and drying instruments
before sterilization increase the exposure to blood
and body fluids and the risk of sharps injuries.
Automated instrument washing reduces physical
handling of contaminated instruments. Using
the HYDRIM® G4 instrument washer is the safer
and more effective option, decreasing the risk of
exposure and injuries. HYDRIM® G4 saves time
and money—making it a worthy investment for
today’s standard of care.
Capacity
HYDRIM ® L110W G4 has a 10 full-size cassette
capacity allowing offices to turn over 2500
instruments in a 10 hour day.

2 Important Information
2.1 Disclaimers
Use only steam-process distilled water in your STATIM. Deionized, demineralized, or specially filtered
water should not be used. Never use tap water.
Do not permit any person other than certified personnel to supply parts for, service or maintain your
STATIM. SciCan shall not be liable for incidental, special or consequential damages caused by any
maintenance or services performed on the STATIM by a third party, or for the use of equipment or parts
manufactured by a third party, including lost profits, any commercial loss, economic loss, or loss arising
from personal injury.
Never remove the cover of the unit and never insert objects through holes or openings in the cabinetry.
Doing so may damage the unit and / or pose a hazard to the operator.
All elements of this book are common to both STATIM 2000 G4 and STATIM 5000 G4 except when
noted.
IMPORTANT: Follow local guidelines governing verification of the sterilization procedure.
Drying Performance
The STATIM 2000 G4 and 5000 G4 have been designed to provide a complete sterilization solution for
your unwrapped and wrapped instrument needs: rapid sterilization balanced with rapid drying, by using
the SciCan Dri-Tec Drying Technology.
To dry instruments, the STATIM 2000 G4 uses a combination of forced filtered air and convection heat.
The convection heat is derived from utilizing the remaining heat in the system after the sterilization phase
has been completed. The heat is then captured and released into the cassette to rapidly dry a properly
loaded cassette.
The STATIM 5000 G4 also uses forced filtered air and heat generated by the sterilization phase to dry
the instruments. The heat generated by the sterilization phase is absorbed by the drying plates and then
transferred directly to the load. This then results in an accelerated, rapid drying of a properly loaded
STATIM cassette.
Please refer to this operator’s manual for instructions on the proper arrangement of instruments in the
cassette and the use of Drying plates (STATIM 5000 G4). By carefully following these directions on how to
properly load the cassette chamber, rapid drying of the load will be achieved.

3 Setting up your STATIM
3.1 Positioning and Powering your Unit.
Positioning your Unit
There are several factors that may affect the performance of your STATIM. Please review these factors,
and select a suitable location in which to install the unit.
• Temperature and Humidity
Avoid installing your STATIM in direct sunlight or close to a heat source (e.g. vents or radiators). The
recommended operating temperatures are 15-25˚C (59˚F to 77˚F) with humidity of 25-70%.
• Spacing
The vents and openings on the STATIM should remain uncovered and unobstructed. Leave a minimum
of 50 mm/2˝ between the top, sides and back of the unit and any wall or partition. For more detailed
information on clearances, see Specifications.
• Venting
The STATIM should be operated in a clean, dust free environment.
• Work Surface
Your STATIM should be placed on a flat, level, water-resistant surface. Never install and operate the unit
on a sloped surface.
• Electromagnetic Environment
Your STATIM has been tested and meets applicable standards for electromagnetic emissions. While
the unit does not emit any radiation, it may itself be affected by other equipment which does. We
recommend that your unit be kept away from potential sources of interference.
• Electrical Requirements
To power your unit, use properly grounded and fused power sources with the same voltage rating as
indicated on the label at the back of your STATIM. Avoid multiple outlet receptacles. If using a surge
suppressor power bar, connect only one STATIM to it.
Powering your Unit
To power your STATIM, connect the power cord to the A.C. inlet receptacle at the back of the unit.
Ensure the power switch is in the OFF position and connect the unit to your power source.
Page 10 Page 11
3 Setting up your STATIM
3.2 Levelling your Unit
When placing your unit on a counter top, ensure it is stable and that all four feet are securely in contact
with the counter surface. This will prevent the unit from moving freely. Next, use the level indicator bubble
function in the settings menu to adjust the three leveler feet so that the unit drains properly. To access the
level indicator bubble from the main screen, follow these steps:
1.
2. Scroll to and select.
3. Adjust the leveler feet to move the bubble. Position the
bubble in the bottom right quadrant of the target. This will
ensure that the unit drains properly. Press STOP to exit and
return to the cycle select menu. When the unit is properly
leveled, the bubble level will change from red to green.

The STATIM 5000 G4 cassette comes with two racks, one with drying plates affixed and another without.
To ensure optimal drying of instruments within autoclave bags use the rack with drying plates.
4.4 Preparing and Loading Instruments
Before loading any instruments into the STATIM, consult the manufacturer’s reprocessing instructions.
• Clean Instruments
Clean and rinse all instruments before loading them into the cassette. Disinfectant residues and solid
debris may inhibit sterilization and damage the instruments, the cassette, and the STATIM. Lubricated
instruments must be wiped thoroughly and any excess lubricant should be removed before loading.
• Unwrapped Instruments
Arrange unwrapped instruments on the rack in the tray so that they do not touch one another. This
ensures that steam reaches all surfaces and will promote drying.
Instruments must not be stacked or piled in the cassettes, as this will impede the sterilization process.
Page 20 Page 21
4 Using Cassettes and Preparing Instruments
• Wrapped Instruments (single wraps)
Place the instruments into single layer autoclave bags according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Orient the instrument rack in the cassette to ensure that wrapped instruments rest approximately 6
mm / 0.25” above the cassette base. Place the wrapped instruments on the rack and arrange them
to avoid overlap. Ensure that all wrapped loads are dry before handling and /or storage to maintain
sterility.
The use of cloth wraps in the STATIM is not recommended.
SciCan recommends the use of paper / paper and plastic / paper autoclave pouches. Pouches that have
been cleared by the FDA for use with the respective cycle time and temperature of the STATIM 2000 /
5000 G4 Cassette Autoclaves must be used. The use of cloth wraps in the STATIM is not recommended.
Loosely pack instruments in the bags to allow steam penetration to all instrument surfaces.
For STATIM 2000 G4:
For STATIM 5000 G4:
The rack with drying plates will hold 10 autoclave bags. Care must be taken to ensure that the combined
weight of the loaded bags does not exceed 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs).
• Rubber and Plastic Instruments
The following materials can be sterilized in the STATIM:
Nylon, polycarbonate (Lexan™), polypropylene, PTFE (Teflon™), acetal (Delrin™), polysulfone (Udel™),
polyetherimide (Ultem™), silicone rubber, and polyester.
When loading rubber and plastic instruments in the tray, leave a space between the
instruments and the cassette walls. This ensures that steam reaches all surfaces, and
will promote drying.
Page 22 Page 23
4 Using Cassettes and Preparing Instruments
The following materials CANNOT be sterilized in the STATIM:
Polyethylene, ABS, styrene, cellulosics, PVC, Acrylic (Plexiglas™), PPO (Noryl™), latex, neoprene, and
similar materials.
Use of these materials may lead to instrument or equipment damage. If you are unsure of your
instrument’s material or construction, do not load into your STATIM until you have checked with the
instrument manufacturer.
• All Instruments
The STATIM is NOT intended for sterilizing textiles, liquids or biomedical waste. Instruments will
remain sterile after a successful cycle until the cassette is disengaged from the unit. Unwrapped
instruments, once exposed to ambient or external conditions, cannot be maintained in a sterile state.
If sterile storage is desired, wrap the instruments to be sterilized in autoclave bags, according to
the instrument manufacturer’s instructions, and then allow the wrapped cycle to run until the air-dry
phase is complete.
Best Practice: Allow instruments (wrapped or unwrapped) to dry completely prior to handling.
Wrapped or pouched instruments must not touch each other to promote drying and enable effective
sterilization.
SciCan recommends the final user carefully choose the most appropriate sterilization cycle according
to the recommendations of their leading infection control authorities and local regulatory guidelines /
recommendations.
• Routine Monitoring
Chemical process indicators suitable for steam sterilizers should be included in or on each package or
load being sterilized. In addition, the weekly use of biological indicators, which allow you to ascertain
whether the instruments have been exposed to sterilization condition, is recommended. Chemical
and biological indicators that have been cleared by the FDA for use with the respective cycle time and
temperature of the STATIM 2000 / 5000 G4 Cassette Autoclaves must be used.
4.5 Using Biological and Chemical Indicators
For detailed instructions on how to handle, use and dispose of both the biological and chemical
indicators, please consult the product literature accompanying the indicators or contact the manufacturer
directly.
To use the indicators with the STATIM, follow these steps:
1. Place the appropriate biological indicator in the STATIM chamber.
2. Process the load in the sterilizer according to your usual practice.
3. Ensure that the message “Cycle Complete” is displayed on the LCD after the cycle is finished.
4. Recover the biological and / or chemical indicator and process further according to the literature that
accompanied the indicator.
At the first indication of a potential sterilization failure:
1. Do not process any more instruments until favourable test results have been returned.
2. Ensure the correct indicator type was chosen.
3. Ensure the cassette was not overloaded. Consult the earlier portion of this section for proper loading
instructions.
4. If the results do not change, do not process any more instruments within the STATIM and contact
your SciCan dealer for further assistance.

8 Maintaining your STATIM
8.1 Cleaning the Cassette
Keeping the STATIM cassette clean is good clinical practice and assists in the function of the unit. SciCan
recommends that the interior surface be cleaned at least once a week. Use dishwashing soap or a mild
detergent that does not contain chlorine. Scrub the inside of the cassette with a cleaning pad designed
for use with Teflon™ coated surfaces. After scouring, rinse thoroughly with water to remove all traces of
the detergent. Cleaning the inside of your cassette is very important if you regularly sterilize lubricated
instruments.
8.2 Cleaning the Water Reservoir Filter
The water reservoir filter should be cleaned at least once a week or when required. The filter can easily be
removed and cleaned by placing the filter upside down under running water to wash away the particles
until clean, and then placed back into the reservoir opening. If a replacement water reservoir filter is
required, order part number 01-109300S.
8.3 Cleaning the Reservoir
Check the reservoir for dirt or particles. The reservoir may be cleaned by draining followed by cleaning
and rinsing with steam process distilled water ONLY. Use of chemicals or cleaning agents is not
recommended and could cause the unit damage.
8.4 Cleaning the Exterior Surfaces
Use a soft cloth moistened with soap and water to clean all exterior surfaces. Do not use harsh cleaning
chemicals or disinfectants.

8.6 Replacing the Cassette Seal
To ensure optimum performance of your STATIM cassette autoclave, change the cassette seal every 500
cycles or every six months, whichever comes first. Replacement seals are available from SciCan (order
number 01-100028S for STATIM 2000 G4 and 01-101649S for STATIM 5000 G4).
To change the cassette seal, follow these steps:
Place the cassette lid and the new seal on a clean work surface. Examine the position of the old seal in
the cassette lid and arrange the new seal in the same orientation, next to the lid.
Remove the old seal and discard. Clean any residue out of the
seal channel and flush out the channel with distilled water.
Lubricate the new seal with the liquid seal lubricant provided.
Insert the rounded edge of the seal under the round lip of
the lid. Align the holes in the new seal with the holes in the lid.
NOTE: At every corner and at the holes in the lid, two square nibs
should be visible. The nibs should fit flush with the lid’s outer surface.
Ensure the seal is completely inserted. Feel around
the periphery to ensure the seal is securely in place.
NOTE: During a cycle, steam may appear between the lid
and the tray. If this persists, remove the cassette and check
that the seal is correctly installed.
Be careful. The metal parts will be hot, and the cassette may contain hot steam.

8.7 Maintaining Fluid Levels
1. The water reservoir level is continually monitored by your STATIM. If the reservoir is low, a red X will
appear on the water icon of the cycle select screen. Press the icon to go to the next screen to
confirm that it is a water level issue and not a water quality issue.
2. If the reservoir is low, a will appear next to WATER LEVEL.
3. To fill the reservoir, use only steam-processed distilled water containing less than 5 ppm total
dissolved solids (having conductivity of less than 10 μS / cm). Remove the cap from the top of the
unit and fill the reservoir. We recommend using a funnel to minimize spills. Each time you refill the
reservoir, empty the waste bottle and refill with water to the MIN line. Empty the waste bottle often
to avoid unpleasant odors and discoloration of the contents. (A low-level chlorine-free disinfectant,
prepared according to the manufacturer’s instructions, may be added to the waste bottle to remedy
this situation).
8.8 Reading Water Quality
1. The water quality is continually monitored by your STATIM to ensure that only steam-process distilled
water is being used. If the water quality is beyond the tolerances specified above, a red X will appear
on the water icon of the cycle select screen. Press the icon to go to the next screen to confirm
that it is a water quality issue and not a water level issue.
2. If the water quality not suitable, will appear next to micro S. and parts per million values.
3. Using the drain tube (see Section Priming the Pump, Figure 6) empty the contents of the reservoir into
the water container and replace with steam-process distilled water containing less than 5 ppm total
dissolved solids (having conductivity of less than 10 μS / cm).

Executive Summary
This Executive Summary should be used in conjunction with the entire GER for design
and/or construction purposes. It should be recognized that specific details were not
included or fully developed in this section, and this GER must be read in its entirety for a
comprehensive understanding of the items contained herein. Section 7.0 should be read
for an understanding of limitations.
RGI’s geotechnical scope of work included the advancement of seven test borings to a
maximum depth of 16.5 feet below ground surface (bgs).
Based on the information obtained from our subsurface exploration, the site is suitable
for development of the proposed project. The following geotechnical considerations were
identified.
Soil Conditions: The site is underlain by up to 11 feet of fill comprised of loose to medium
dense silty sand with varying amounts of gravel over medium dense to very dense silty
sand with varying amounts of gravel, and localized silty sand, sandy gravel, and sand with
some silt and gravel.
Groundwater: Groundwater seepage was encountered at 15 feet bgs in two of the test
borings during our subsurface exploration.
Foundations: The proposed buildings can be supported on spread footing foundation
bearing on competent native soil or structural fill.
Slab-on-grade: Slab-on-grade floors can be supported on dense to medium dense native
soil or new structural fill.
Pavements: The following pavement sections are recommended for new driveway areas:
For flexible pavements: 2 inches of HMA over 6 inches of Crushed Rock Base
(CRB) over compacted subgrade.
For concrete driveways: 5 inches of concrete over 4 inches of CRB over
compacted subgrade
Construction Considerations: RGI recommends that the major earthwork be performed
in dry season from May to September.
Geotechnical Engineering Report 1 June 8, 2018
Family First Community Center, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2018-130
1.0 Introduction
This Geotechnical Engineering Report (GER) presents the results of the geotechnical
engineering services provided for the Family First Community Center in Renton,
Washington. The purpose of this GER is to assess subsurface conditions and provide
geotechnical recommendations for building a one-story community center building. Our
scope of services included field explorations, laboratory testing, engineering analyses, and
preparation of this GER.
The recommendations in the following sections of this GER are based upon our current
understanding of the proposed site development as outlined below. RGI should review
the proposed site grading and utility plans once they are developed in order to confirm
the recommendations provided in this report are appropriate for the development as
proposed. In addition, RGI requests to review the final site grading plans and
specifications when available to verify that our project understanding is correct and that
our recommendations have been properly interpreted and incorporated into the project
design and construction.
2.0 Project Description
The site is located 16022 116th Avenue Southeast in Renton, Washington. The
approximate location of the site is shown on Figure 1.
The site includes a rectangular shaped parcel of land about 14.9 aces in size. The northern
portion of the site is occupied by a school building and facilities. The proposed
development will be located at the southwest corner of the property.
The proposed Family First Community Center building will be a one-story building about
30,000 square feet in size with a slab on grade floor. Our understanding of the project is
based on the Master Site Plan prepared by Baylis Architecture dated February 26, 2018.
RGI expects the proposed building will be a one-story, light-weight structure with a
maximum column load of less than 100 kips. Slab-on-grade floor loading of 150 pounds
per square foot (psf) are expected. RGI anticipates that grading with fill up to
approximately 10 feet will be needed in the existing stormwater pond area to reach the
design grade.
3.0 Field Exploration and Laboratory Testing
On May 23, 2018, RGI performed subsurface exploration using a tracked drill rig. A total
of seven test borings were advanced in the proposed development area. The approximate
exploration locations are shown on Figure 2.
Field logs of each exploration were prepared by the geologist who completed the borings.
These logs included visual classifications of the materials encountered during excavation
Geotechnical Engineering Report 2 June 8, 2018
Family First Community Center, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2018-130
as well as our interpretation of the subsurface conditions between samples. The boring
logs included in Appendix A represent an interpretation of the field logs and include
modifications based on laboratory observation and analysis of the samples.
4.0 Site Conditions
4.1 SURFACE
The entire site includes a rectangular shaped parcel of land about 14.9 aces in size. The
proposed development area is located in the southwest portion of the site and is
approximately 3.35 acres in size. The project area is bound to the north and east by the
existing school building and facilities, to the south by residential properties, and to the
west by 116th Avenue Southeast.
The western portion of the proposed development area is a paved parking lot. An existing
storm water pond approximately 10 feet deep is located along the southern property line.
To the north of the pond, there is 5-foot hump area that appears to have been created by
the excavated soil from the pond excavation.
4.2 GEOLOGY
Review of the Geologic Map of King County, Washington by Derek B. Booth, etc (2002)
indicates that the site soil is mapped as till (Map Unit Qvt) which is compact diamict
containing subrounded to well-rounded clasts, glacially transported and deposited.
Generally forms undulating layers a few meters to a few tens of meters thick. The native
soil below the fill encountered during field exploration appears to match the description.
4.3 SOILS
The site is underlain by up to 11 feet of fill comprised of loose to medium dense silty sand
with varying amounts of gravel over medium dense to very dense silty sand with varying
amounts of gravel, and localized silty sand, sandy gravel, and sand with some silt and
gravel. More detailed descriptions of the subsurface conditions encountered are
presented in the test borings included in Appendix A.
4.4 GROUNDWATER
Groundwater seepage was encountered at 15 feet bgs in two of the test borings during
our subsurface exploration.
It should be recognized that fluctuations of the groundwater table will occur due to
seasonal variations in the amount of rainfall, runoff, and other factors not evident at the
time the explorations were performed. In addition, perched water can develop within
seams and layers contained in fill soils or higher permeability soils overlying less
permeable soils following periods of heavy or prolonged precipitation. Therefore,
Geotechnical Engineering Report 3 June 8, 2018
Family First Community Center, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2018-130
groundwater levels during construction or at other times in the future may be higher or
lower than the levels indicated on the logs. Groundwater level fluctuations should be
considered when developing the design and construction plans for the project.
4.5 SEISMIC CONSIDERATIONS
Based on the 2012/2015 International Building Code (IBC), RGI recommends the follow
seismic parameters in Table 1 be used for design.
Table 1 IBC Seismic Parameters
2012/2015 IBC Parameter Value

(g) Sms = 1.399, Sm1 = 0.783
Design spectral response acceleration parameters (g) Sds = 0.933, Sd1 = 0.522
1 Note: In general accordance with the USGS 2012/2015 International Building Code. IBC Site Class is based on the average
characteristics of the upper 100 feet of the subsurface profile.
2 Note: The 2012/2015 International Building Code requires a site soil profile determination extending to a depth of 100 feet for
seismic site classification. The current scope of our services does not include the required 100 foot soil profile determination. Hand
auger borings extended to a maximum depth of 16.5 feet, and this seismic site class definition considers that similar soil continues
below the maximum depth of the subsurface exploration.
Liquefaction is a phenomenon where there is a reduction or complete loss of soil strength
due to an increase in water pressure induced by vibrations from a seismic event.
Liquefaction mainly affects geologically recent deposits of fine-grained sands that are
below the groundwater table. Soils of this nature derive their strength from intergranular
friction. The generated water pressure or pore pressure essentially separates the soil
grains and eliminates this intergranular friction, thus reducing or eliminating the soil’s
strength.
RGI reviewed the results of the field and laboratory testing and assessed the potential for
liquefaction of the site’s soil during an earthquake in the area. The site is underlain by till
which is considered not liquefiable.
4.6 COAL MINE HAZARD
RGI has reviewed the City of Renton Coal Mine Hazards map dated November 12, 2014.
The project site is not mapped as a coal mine hazard area.
Geotechnical Engineering Report 4 June 8, 2018
Family First Community Center, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2018-130
5.0 Discussion and Recommendations
5.1 GEOTECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Based on our study, the site is suitable for the proposed construction from a geotechnical
standpoint. RGI recommends that proposed buildings be supported on spread footings
bearing on medium dense native soil or structural fill. The slab-on-grade can be similarly
supported on medium dense native soil or structural fill.
Detailed recommendations regarding the above issues and other geotechnical design
considerations are provided in the following sections. These recommendations should be
incorporated into the final design drawings and construction specifications.
5.2 EARTHWORK
RGI expects that site grading will consist of cut in the high area of the site and fill in the
pond area to achieve building and pavement grades and excavation for utilities including
storm, water, sanitary sewer, and other utilities.
5.2.1 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL
Potential sources or causes of erosion and sedimentation depend on construction
methods, slope length and gradient, amount of soil exposed and/or disturbed, soil type,
construction sequencing and weather. The impacts on erosion-prone areas can be
reduced by implementing an erosion and sedimentation control plan. The plan should be
designed in accordance with applicable city and/or county standards.
RGI recommends the following erosion control Best Management Practices (BMPs):
Scheduling site preparation and grading for the drier summer and early fall
months and undertaking activities that expose soil during periods of little or no
rainfall
Establishing a quarry spall construction entrance
Installing siltation control fencing or anchored straw or coir wattles on the
downhill side of work areas
Covering soil stockpiles with anchored plastic sheeting
Revegetating or mulching exposed soils with a minimum 3-inch thickness of straw
if surfaces will be left undisturbed for more than one day during wet weather or
one week in dry weather
Directing runoff away from exposed soils and slopes
Minimizing the length and steepness of slopes with exposed soils and cover
excavation surfaces with anchored plastic sheeting (Graded and disturbed slopes
should be tracked in place with the equipment running perpendicular to the slope
contours so that the track marks provide a texture to help resist erosion and
Geotechnical Engineering Report 5 June 8, 2018
Family First Community Center, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2018-130
channeling. Some sloughing and raveling of slopes with exposed or disturbed soil
should be expected.)
Decreasing runoff velocities with check dams, straw bales or coir wattles
Confining sediment to the project site
Inspecting and maintaining erosion and sediment control measures frequently
(The contractor should be aware that inspection and maintenance of erosion
control BMPs is critical toward their satisfactory performance. Repair and/or
replacement of dysfunctional erosion control elements should be anticipated.)
Permanent erosion protection should be provided by reestablishing vegetation using
hydroseeding and/or landscape planting. Until the permanent erosion protection is
established, site monitoring should be performed by qualified personnel to evaluate the
effectiveness of the erosion control measures. Provisions for modifications to the erosion
control system based on monitoring observations should be included in the erosion and
sedimentation control plan.
5.2.2 STRIPPING
Stripping efforts should include removal of vegetation, organic materials, and deleterious
debris from areas slated for building, pavement, and utility construction. Topsoil and
rootmass is generally less than 12 inches across the site. Deeper areas of stripping may be
required in heavily vegetated areas of the site. The existing pond should be dry before
filling and the wet soil and vegetation should be removed before filling.
5.2.3 EXCAVATIONS
All temporary cut slopes associated with the site and utility excavations should be
adequately inclined to prevent sloughing and collapse. The shallow native soil is classified
as Group C soil and native dense soil is classified Group A.
Accordingly, for excavations more than 4 feet but less than 20 feet in depth, the
temporary side slopes should be laid back with a minimum slope inclination of 1.5H:1V
(Horizontal:Vertical) in the upper 5 feet and 3/4H:1V in dense native soil. If there is
insufficient room to complete the excavations in this manner, or excavations greater than
20 feet in depth are planned, using temporary shoring to support the excavations should
be considered.
For open cuts at the site, RGI recommends:
No traffic, construction equipment, stockpiles or building supplies are allowed at
the top of cut slopes within a distance of at least 5 feet from the top of the cut
Exposed soil along the slope is protected from surface erosion using waterproof
tarps and/or plastic sheeting
Construction activities are scheduled so that the length of time the temporary cut
is left open is minimized
Geotechnical Engineering Report 6 June 8, 2018
Family First Community Center, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2018-130
Surface water is diverted away from the excavation
The general condition of slopes should be observed periodically by a geotechnical
engineer to confirm adequate stability and erosion control measures
In all cases, however, appropriate inclinations will depend on the actual soil and
groundwater conditions encountered during earthwork. Ultimately, the site contractor
must be responsible for maintaining safe excavation slopes that comply with applicable
OSHA or WISHA guidelines.
5.2.4 SITE PREPARATION
After stripping, grubbing, and prior to placement of structural fill, RGI recommends
proofrolling building and pavement subgrades and areas to receive structural fill. These
areas should be proofrolled under the observation of RGI and compacted to a firm and
unyielding condition in order to achieve a minimum compaction level of 95 percent of the
modified proctor maximum dry density as determined by the American Society of Testing
and Materials D1557-09 Standard Test Methods for Laboratory Compaction
Characteristics of Soil Using Modified Effort (ASTM D1557).
Proofrolling and adequate subgrade compaction can only be achieved when the soils are
within approximately ± 2 percent moisture content of the optimum moisture content.
Soils that appear firm after stripping and grubbing may be proofrolled with a heavy
compactor, loaded double-axle dump truck, or other heavy equipment under the
observation of an RGI representative. This observer will assess the subgrade conditions
prior to filling. The need for or advisability of proofrolling due to soil moisture conditions
should be determined at the time of construction.
Subgrade soils that become disturbed due to elevated moisture conditions should be
overexcavated to reveal firm, non-yielding, non-organic soils and backfilled with
compacted structural fill. In order to maximize utilization of site soils as structural fill, RGI
recommends that the earthwork portion of this project be completed during extended
periods of warm and dry weather if possible. If earthwork is completed during the wet
season (typically November through May) it will be necessary to take extra precautionary
measures to protect subgrade soils. Wet season earthwork will require additional
mitigative measures beyond that which would be expected during the drier summer and
fall months.
5.2.5 STRUCTURAL FILL
RGI recommends fill below the foundation and floor slab, behind retaining walls, and
below pavement and hardscape surfaces be placed in accordance with the following
recommendations for structural fill.
The suitability of excavated site soils and import soils for compacted structural fill use will
depend on the gradation and moisture content of the soil when it is placed. As the
Geotechnical Engineering Report 7 June 8, 2018
Family First Community Center, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2018-130
amount of fines (that portion passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve) increases, soil becomes
increasingly sensitive to small changes in moisture content and adequate compaction
becomes more difficult or impossible to achieve. Soils containing more than about 5
percent fines cannot be consistently compacted to a dense, non-yielding condition when
the moisture content is more than 2 percent above or below optimum. Optimum
moisture content is the moisture that results in the greatest compacted dry density with a
specified compactive effort.
Non-organic site soils are only considered suitable for structural fill provided that their
moisture content is within about 2 percent of the optimum moisture level as determined
by ASTM D1557. Excavated site soils may not be suitable for re-use as structural fill
depending on the moisture content and weather conditions at the time of construction. If
soils are stockpiled for future reuse and wet weather is anticipated, the stockpile should
be protected with plastic sheeting that is securely anchored. Even during dry weather,
moisture conditioning (such as, windrowing and drying) of site soils to be reused as
structural fill may be required. Even during the summer, delays in grading can occur due
to excessively high moisture conditions of the soils or due to precipitation. If wet weather
occurs, the upper wetted portion of the site soils may need to be scarified and allowed to
dry prior to further earthwork, or may need to be wasted from the site.
The native soil contains a large percentage of fines and is moisture sensitive, it may
necessary to import structural fill if the construction occurs in wet season. Import
structural fill should meet the gradation requirements listed in Table 2 for wet weather
conditions. For dry season earthwork, the percent passing the No. 200 may be increased
to 10 percent maximum or materials meeting the 2012 Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal
Construction, Section 9-03.14(1) may be used.

U.S. Sieve Size Percent Passing
4 inches 100
No. 4 sieve 75 percent
No. 200 sieve 5 percent *
*Based on minus 3/4 inch fraction.
Prior to use, an RGI representative should observe and test all materials imported to the
site for use as structural fill. Structural fill materials should be placed in uniform loose
layers not exceeding 12 inches and compacted as specified in Table 3. The soil’s maximum
density and optimum moisture should be determined by ASTM D1557.

Placement and compaction of structural fill should be observed by RGI. A representative
number of in-place density tests should be performed as the fill is being placed to confirm
that the recommended level of compaction is achieved.
5.2.6 CUT AND FILL SLOPES
All permanent cut and fill slopes should be graded with a finished inclination no greater
than 2H:1V. Upon completion of construction, the slope face should be trackwalked,
compacted and vegetated, or provided with other physical means to guard against
erosion. All fill placed for slope construction should meet the structural fill requirements
as described in Section 5.2.5.
Final grades at the top of the slopes must promote surface drainage away from the slope
crest. Water must not be allowed to flow in an uncontrolled fashion over the slope face. If
it is necessary to direct surface runoff towards the slope, it should be controlled at the
top of the slope, piped in a closed conduit installed on the slope face, and taken to an
appropriate point of discharge beyond the toe of the slope.
5.2.7 WET WEATHER CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
RGI recommends that preparation for site grading and construction include procedures
intended to drain ponded water, control surface water runoff, and to collect shallow
subsurface seepage zones in excavations where encountered. It will not be possible to
successfully compact the subgrade or utilize on-site soils as structural fill if accumulated
water is not drained prior to grading or if drainage is not controlled during construction.
Attempting to grade the site without adequate drainage control measures will reduce the
amount of on-site soil effectively available for use, increase the amount of select import
fill materials required, and ultimately increase the cost of the earthwork phases of the
Geotechnical Engineering Report 9 June 8, 2018
Family First Community Center, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2018-130
project. Free water should not be allowed to pond on the subgrade soils. RGI anticipates
that the use of berms and shallow drainage ditches, with sumps and pumps in utility
trenches, will be required for surface water control during wet weather and/or wet site
conditions.
5.3 FOUNDATIONS
Following site preparation and grading, the proposed building foundations may be
supported on conventional spread footings bearing on medium dense native soil or
structural fill. The existing fill may be suitable for support of foundations and should be
evaluated during construction. Where loose soils or other unsuitable soils are
encountered in the proposed building footprint, they should be overexcavated and
backfilled with structural fill.
Perimeter foundations exposed to weather should be at a minimum depth of 18 inches
below final exterior grades. Interior foundations can be constructed at any convenient
depth below the floor slab. Finished grade is defined as the lowest adjacent grade within
5 feet of the foundation for perimeter (or exterior) footings and finished floor level for
interior footings.
Table 4 Foundation Design
Design Parameter Value
Allowable Bearing Capacity 2,500 psf1
Friction Coefficient 0.25
Passive pressure (equivalent fluid pressure) 250 pcf2
Minimum foundation dimensions Columns: 24 inches
Walls: 16 inches
1 psf = pounds per square foot
2 pcf = pounds per cubic foot
The allowable foundation bearing pressures apply to dead loads plus design live load
conditions. For short-term loads, such as wind and seismic, a 1/3 increase in this
allowable capacity may be used. At perimeter locations, RGI recommends not including
the upper 12 inches of soil in the computation of passive pressures because it can be
affected by weather or disturbed by future grading activity. The passive pressure value
assumes the foundation will be constructed neat against competent soil or backfilled with
structural fill as described in Section 5.2.5. The recommended base friction and passive
resistance value includes a safety factor of about 1.5.
With spread-footing foundations designed in accordance with the recommendations in
this section, maximum total and differential post-construction settlements of 1 inch and
1/2 inch, respectively, should be expected.
Geotechnical Engineering Report 10 June 8, 2018
Family First Community Center, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2018-130
5.4 RETAINING WALLS
RGI recommends cast-in-place concrete walls be used for basement wall (if needed). The
magnitude of earth pressure development on retaining walls will partly depend on the
quality of the wall backfill. RGI recommends placing and compacting wall backfill as
structural fill. Wall drainage will be needed behind the wall face. A typical retaining wall
drainage detail is shown on Figure 3. With wall backfill placed and compacted as
recommended, and drainage properly installed, RGI recommends using the values in the
following table for design.
Table 5 Retaining Wall Design
Design Parameter Value
Allowable Bearing Capacity 2,500 psf
Active Earth Pressure (unrestrained walls) 35 pcf
At-rest Earth Pressure (restrained walls) 50 pcf
For seismic design, an additional uniform load of 7 times the wall height (H) for
unrestrained walls and 14H for restrained walls should be applied to the wall surface.
Friction at the base of foundations and passive earth pressure will provide resistance to
these lateral loads. Values for these parameters are provided in Section 5.3.
5.5 SLAB-ON-GRADE CONSTRUCTION
Once site preparation has been completed as described in Section 5.2, suitable support
for slab-on-grade construction should be provided. Immediately below the floor slab, RGI
recommends placing a 4-inch-thick capillary break layer of clean, free-draining pea gravel,
washed rock, or crushed rock that has less than 5 percent passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve.
This material will reduce the potential for upward capillary movement of water through
the underlying soil and subsequent wetting of the floor slab.
Where moisture by vapor transmission is undesirable, an 8- to 10-millimeter-thick plastic
membrane should be placed on a 4-inch-thick layer of clean gravel or rock. For the
anticipated floor slab loading, we estimate post-construction floor settlements of ¼- to ½-
inch.
5.6 DRAINAGE
5.6.1 SURFACE
Final exterior grades should promote free and positive drainage away from the building
area. Water must not be allowed to pond or collect adjacent to foundations or within the
immediate building area. For non-pavement locations, RGI recommends providing a
Geotechnical Engineering Report 11 June 8, 2018
Family First Community Center, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2018-130
minimum drainage gradient of 3 percent for a minimum distance of 10 feet from the
building perimeter. In paved locations, a minimum gradient of 1 percent should be
provided unless provisions are included for collection and disposal of surface water
adjacent to the structure.
5.6.2 SUBSURFACE
RGI recommends installing perimeter foundation drain as shown on Figure 4. The
retaining wall drains, perimeter foundation drain, and roof downspouts should be
tightlined separately to an approved discharge facility. Subsurface drains must be laid
with a gradient sufficient to promote positive flow to a controlled point of approved
discharge.
5.6.3 INFILTRATION
Based on the soil encountered, the native soil is not suitable for infiltration.
5.7 UTILITIES
Utility pipes should be bedded and backfilled in accordance with American Public Works
Association (APWA) specifications. For site utilities located within the right-of-ways,
bedding and backfill should be completed in accordance with City of Renton
specifications. At a minimum, trench backfill should be placed and compacted as
structural fill, as described in Section 5.2.5. Where utilities occur below unimproved
areas, the degree of compaction can be reduced to a minimum of 90 percent of the soil’s
maximum density as determined by ASTM D1557. If the native soil becomes unsuitable
for use as structural fill, imported structural fill will be necessary for trench backfill as
recommended in Section 5.2.5.
5.8 PAVEMENTS
RGI recommends that the driveway to the new garage be stripped and repaved.
Pavement subgrades should be prepared as described in Section 5.2 of this GER and as
discussed below. Regardless of the relative compaction achieved, the subgrade must be
firm and relatively unyielding before paving. This condition should be verified by
proofrolling with heavy construction equipment or hand probe by inspector.
With the pavement subgrade prepared as described above, RGI recommends the
following pavement section with flexible asphalt concrete surfacing.
For private asphalt driveways or parking: 2 inches of hot mix asphalt over 6
inches of crushed rock base (CRB) over compacted subgrade;
The asphalt paving materials used should conform to the Washington State Department
of Transportation (WSDOT) specifications for Hot Mix Asphalt Class 1/2 inch and CRB
surfacing.
Geotechnical Engineering Report 12 June 8, 2018
Family First Community Center, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2018-130
If concrete driveway is preferred, the following section can be used.
For concrete driveways: 5 inches of concrete over 4 inches of CRB over
compacted subgrade
Long-term pavement performance will depend on surface drainage. A poorly-drained
pavement section will be subject to premature failure as a result of surface water
infiltrating into the subgrade soils and reducing their supporting capability.
For optimum pavement performance, surface drainage gradients of no less than 2
percent are recommended. Also, some degree of longitudinal and transverse cracking of
the pavement surface should be expected over time. Regular maintenance should be
planned to seal cracks when they occur.
5.9 CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
An important construction consideration is the weather and its impact on construction
scheduling. Although it is not impossible, winter construction will be more difficult and
will increase construction costs. RGI highly recommends that the major earthwork be
performed in dry season from May to September.
6.0 Additional Services
RGI is available to provide further geotechnical consultation throughout the design phase
of the project. RGI should review the grading and utilities plans in order to verify that
earthwork and foundation recommendations in this report are appropriate and provide
supplemental recommendations as necessary.
RGI should be contracted to provide geotechnical engineering and construction
monitoring services during. The integrity of the earthwork and construction depends on
proper site preparation and procedures. In addition, engineering decisions may arise in
the field in the event that variations in subsurface conditions become apparent.
Construction monitoring services are not part of this scope of work. RGI can provide an
estimate for these services once the construction plans and schedule have been
developed.
7.0 Limitations
This GER is the property of RGI, City of Renton and her designated agents. Within the
limits of the scope and budget, this GER was prepared in accordance with generally
accepted geotechnical engineering practices in the area at the time this report was
issued. This GER is intended for specific application to the Family First Community Center
at 16022 116th Avenue Southeast in Renton, Washington, and for the exclusive use of the
City of Renton and its authorized representatives. No other warranty, expressed or

implied, is made. Site safety, excavation support, and dewatering requirements are the
responsibility of others.
The scope of services for this project does not include either specifically or by implication
any environmental or biological (for example, mold, fungi, bacteria) assessment of the
site or identification or prevention of pollutants, hazardous materials, or conditions. If the
owner is concerned about the potential for such contamination or pollution, we can
provide a proposal for these services.
The analyses and recommendations presented in this GER are based upon review of the
previous explorations on the site by Geotechnical Investigations Group. Variations in soil
conditions can occur, the nature and extent of which may not become evident until
construction. If variations appear evident, RGI should be requested to reevaluate the
recommendations in this GER prior to proceeding with construction.
It is client’s responsibility to see that all parties to the project, including the designers,
contractors, subcontractors, are made aware of this GER in its entirety. The use of
information contained in this GER for bidding purposes should be done at the contractor’s
option and risk.

APPENDIX A
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
On May 23, 2018, RGI performed field explorations using a tracked drill rig. RGI explored
subsurface soil conditions at the site by observing the drilling of 7 test borings to a
maximum depth of 16.5 feet below existing grade. The boring locations are shown on
Figure 2. The boring locations were approximately determined by measurements from
existing site features and topography.
A geologist from our office conducted the field exploration and classified the soil
conditions encountered, maintained a log of each test exploration, obtained
representative soil samples, and observed pertinent site features. All soil samples were
visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).
Representative soil samples obtained from the explorations were placed in closed
containers and taken to our laboratory for further examination and testing. As a part of
the laboratory testing program, the soil samples were classified in our in-house laboratory
based on visual observation, texture, plasticity, and the limited laboratory testing
described below.
Moisture Content Determinations
Moisture content determinations were performed in accordance with ASTM D2216-10
Standard Test Methods for Laboratory Determination of Water (Moisture) Content of Soil
and Rock by Mass (ASTM D2216) on representative samples obtained from the
exploration in order to aid in identification and correlation of soil types. The moisture
content of typical samples were measured and is reported on the test pit logs.
Grain Size Analysis
A grain size analysis indicates the range in diameter of soil particles included in a
particular sample. Grain size analyses was determined using D6913-04(2009) Standard
Test Methods for Particle-Size Distribution (Gradation) of Soils Using Sieve Analysis (ASTM
D6913) on four of the samples.

SCHOOL DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS
SCHOOL DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS
CONSTRUCTION MITIGATION PLAN
Parking Availability
Construction of the Project shall not reduce the number of parking stalls or otherwise materially impact
school parking facilities on the Adjacent School Property during the regular School Year (ending June 17,
2020 and commencing again on September 2, 2020)
Fire Lane - Hydrant
If access to the Fire Lane serving the adjacent school is rendered functionally unusable or the Hydrant is
inaccessible, then Contractor will (a) provide the School with alternative access sufficient to meet the
needs of the School and as required by law, and (b) obtain approval from the Fire Marshal of the Renton
Fire Authority regarding any closure of the Fire Lane and any temporary or permanent replacement
facilities
Contractor Parking – Personal Vehicles
Contractor will ensure that during the 20/21 School Year (September 2, 2020 through June 23, 2021), all
personnel related to construction of the Project shall park either within the limits of construction or off-site. No
construction vehicles shall park in any school parking or drive areas.
Driveway, Parking and School Access
Contractor will ensure any construction-related work has minimal, if any, impact on School pick-up and
drop-off activities at the beginning and end of each school day (Monday-Friday 8:05 – 8:35 AM and
2:45 - 3:15 PM), by ensuring, among other things, that no driveways leading into school parking areas
and no sidewalks are blocked by construction-related vehicles or materials, (b) no construction-related
vehicles or materials are located or stored within the lots, and (c) construction-related activity in no way
impacts the ability of School buses to enter and exit the school property.
Dust / Odor / Fume Control
Utilize misting water sprays or other measures sufficient to reduce airborne dusting of the adjacent
school and/or residential properties. Employ appropriate measures to limit fumes and odors from
reaching adjacent facilities and properties.
Fencing and Visual Screening
Install temporary fencing sufficient to limit public access and to properly secure the project site. Employ
visual screening along the north fence line.
Prohibitions
All tobacco, smoking and firearms are strictly prohibited anywhere on the project site and property or
adjacent school property. Violators will be subject to immediate removal.
