Re: City of Pasco Process Water Reuse Facility - Dam Safety Compliance
REVISED Proposal for Professional Geotechnical Engineering and Surveying
Dear Mr. Qayoumi,
Based on the recent information provided to us via email on May 27h, we understand that DSO has
agreed to allow the data acquired from previous field explorations and laboratory testing performed by
Intermountain Materials Testing & Geotechnical, documented in the Geotechnical Engineering
Evaluation Report dated October 25, 2013 to be used for stability analysis. Furthermore DSO has also
agreed that the City can internally update the O&M plan, therefore we have excluded this task from our
REVISED scope. In consideration of these recent minor scope changes we have revised our scope and
fee.
Upon review of IMT's October 25, 2013 Geotechnical Report and the information contained within this
report we suggest that a limited soil exploration (borings) is needed to confirm the soil conditions as
described in Task 2. The borings completed by IMT in 2013 were along the eastern fill berm and they
did not perform laboratory testing to determine soil shear strength properties/parameters of the
embankment fill material rather they assumed shear strength values. In-situ soil shear strength properties
are required for stability analysis.
The scope of work is divided into two phases. This first phase will include as -built survey of 115 MG
lagoon and berms and dike in the 5MG equalization basin, limited geotechnical exploration and
laboratory testing, stability analyses of the berms of the lined 35MG and 8MG ponds and the dike in the
5MG equalization basin to determine if the as -built berms are stable or if modifications/mitigations are
required for dam safety compliance.
Based on the findings of geotechnical analyses we will determine the scope and fee for the second phase
including preparation of bidding documents, plans, specifications, or construction cost estimates. Work
for preparation of plans and specifications necessary for recommended dam/embankment improvements
will be included as a separate phase of work.

Exhibit A
Northern, Inc.
SCOPE OF WORK (Phase I)
The scope of work will include the furnishing of all services, labor, materials, equipment, supplies, and
incidentals necessary to conduct and complete the work for the above referenced project as described
hereafter, except as noted below. We will coordinated our activities with Leah Fisk of the City of Pasco
throughout the project and keep Thomas Satterthwaite of DSO abreast of our activities and schedule.
Task 1 - Initial meeting with the City of Pasco and Site walk-through, Review Project Background
information (incls. pond/embankment drawings & specs prepared by CES, review embankment x -
sections, liner anchor trenches, foundation preparation for berms, compaction test reports for fill
placement), Submit an Engagement Letter to Dam Safety Office (DSO), and Proposal Preparation.
Task 2 - Limited Geotechnical Exploration & Sampling:
Complete a utility locate (One -call Center) prior to initiating our field activities. We will coordinate field
activities with the City's representative and also work with the PWRF site supervisor to ensure that any
onsite underground utilities are identified and marked.
We will explore the fill soil conditions in the berms by means of exploratory borings. We suggest
completing 4 borings around the newly constructed 8 MG pond, and 35 MG pond. The borings will
extend to depths of 16 to 32 feet below the top of the berms. Borings will be drilled using a truck
mounted rubber tired drill rig equipped with hollow stem augers and split barrel sampler.
Test samples in the borings will be taken using the Standard Penetration Test (i.e. a 140 lb. weight
falling 30" to drive a 2" o.d. x 1-3/8" i.d. sampling spoon a depth of 1'); samples will be collected at
each noticeable change in subsoil characteristic but in no case at greater intervals than 2.5 and 5 feet.
Auger drilling, field SPT testing and sampling, logging, and field visual identification will be conducted
in general accordance with ASTM methods D1452, D1586, D1587, D5434, and D2488. Disturbed and
undisturbed samples of the fill soils will be collected using a shelby tube sampler and ring sampler for
laboratory testing and analysis. The site will be restored to near original condition and borings will be
backfilled with bentonite slurry mix per the State DOE guidelines.
Task 3 — Limited Laboratory Soil Testing
An experienced engineering professional will visually classify samples obtained in the field. We will
conduct laboratory testing to determine the index and engineering properties of the embankment fill
soils. We have identified the following tests that we anticipate performing in order to perform the
engineering analyses.

Natural Water Content D2216
Particle Size Analysis

CLIENT
GNN:

*Triaxial Compression test (Consolidated Undrained -ICU triaxial with pore pressure measurements) on undisturbed
samples ofthe embankment fill materials.
Task 4 - Slope Stability Analyses
Perform slope stability analyses in accordance with the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE)
Dam Safety Guidelines Part IV, Dam Design and Construction published by the DSO Water Resources
Program.
For stability analysis, we will utilize the data acquired from previous field explorations and laboratory
testing performed by IMT and presented in IMT's Geotechnical Report dated October 25, 2013, and the
soils exploration data from our borings and limited lab testing. We will conduct the slope stability
analyses using a 2-dimensional slope stability computer program. The evaluation will include the static
condition and the pseudo -static (seismic) condition.
The critical cross-sections will be selected for analyses, i.e., the sections with the narrowest crest width
and steepest landward slope.
The following summarizes the loading conditions:
1. Static Condition
a. End of Construction (upstream and downstream)
b. Sudden Drawdown Conditions
i. From maximum pool
ii. From spillway crest
c. Long-term Condition (Steady seepage with maximum storage pool)
2. Pseudo -static Condition
a. The PGA for a 2,475 -year seismic event will be used as the basis for selecting the seismic
coefficient for the pseudo -static stability analyses.
The locations of test borings will be surveyed; a drawing showing the locations of borings will be
included in the report. The report will include soil boring logs for each test location. A soil profile for
each boring location will be included showing soil stratification, general characteristics of each soil
layer, and depth to water table if encountered. Results of lab testing will include soil cohesion strength,
C values (ksf) for cohesive soil layers; angle of internal friction for cohesionless soils, sieve analyses,
maximum density/proctor test values and bulking factor of the fill soils used during grading and
embankment construction.
If factors of safety are not met we will present recommendations for modifications and mitigations to the
existing embankments.
An electronic copy in PDF format of the geotechnical engineering report will be prepared and submitted
to the City of Pasco and DSO. The services will be performed in accordance with generally accepted
standards of the geotechnical engineering profession.

Task 5 - Survey
Our sub -consultant Huibregtse, Louman Associates, Inc. (HLA) will field survey the 115 MG lined
pond and the dike in the 5 MG lined pond. HLA will utilize a three man survey crew to survey the invert
elevations of the pond and berms. The survey will also include locating test boring locations.
HLA will prepare as -built site plan drawings of the field surveyed ponds. The drawings will show field
located features and 2 -foot contours.
Task 6 - Meeting(s) with the City of Pasco and DSO
After completing the analyses we will schedule a meeting with the City to present our findings and
discuss the extent of proposed modifications and mitigations, if any, to bring the project in compliance.
We will also discuss the scope of our additional services related to these modifications.
As the City's consultant, GN Northern is available to participate in meeting(s) with Ecology Dam Safety
to discuss our findings and proposed modifications as necessary to comply with DSO requirements.
Task 7 - Deliverables
Submit deliverables in the form of engineering reports, as -built survey, etc., to the City of Pasco and
DSO based on the tasks outlined in DSO's December 17, 2014 letter and revised scope as outlined in an
email from Leah Fisk dated May 27, 2015. All reports will be signed and wet stamped by a State of
Washington Registered Professional Engineer. The survey drawing will be stamped by a State of
Washington Professional Land surveyor.
