Conduct laboratory tests of selected samples to evaluate moisture content, density, <br />gradation, Atterberg limits, consolidation, shear resistance, expansion, R- value, soil <br />corrosivity, and /or other criteria as recommended by the geotechnical engineer. <br />Prepare a geotechnical report presenting findings, conclusions, and <br />recommendations for the design and construction of the proposed facilities. The <br />report will include, at a minimum: <br />1. Groundwater presence and levels; <br />2. Construction dewatering requirements; <br />3. Pipe bedding requirements; <br />4. Trench shoring requirements; <br />5. Settlement potential; <br />6. Excavatability of soils; <br />7. Backfill suitability; and <br />8. Backfill compaction. <br />The geotechnical report will emphasize specific concerns regarding construction <br />methods and the integrity of the Santa Ana Delhi Channel and strictures. The <br />report will provide recommendations regarding the design of facilities. At a <br />minimum, recommendations will include: <br />1. Active, at -rest, passive and dynamic earth pressures; <br />2. Foundation type; <br />3. Allowable bearing pressure; <br />4. Coefficient of friction between the foundation and soils /subgrade; <br />5. Foundation design data; <br />6. Settlement potential; <br />7. Pipe bedding; <br />8. Maximum cut slope requirements; <br />9. Structural needs; <br />10. Groundwater dewateting well(s) design criteria, and /or <br />11. Other standard design criteria. <br />URS will provide five (5) copies of the draft Geotechnical Investigation Report (GIR) for <br />the City and stakeholders review. Upon resolution and incorporation of review comments, <br />five (5) copies of final GIR and one (1) electronic copy in PDF (single file) on CD will be <br />submitted. <br />4.7 Easements — URS will prepare property easement requirements exhibits for the proposed project <br />improvements adjacent to the Santa Ana Delhi Channel and within the Newport Beach Golf Club <br />area. No easements are anticipated for improvements located within the public right of way. The City <br />will coordination with the County of Orange to obtain all required easements inclusive of all legal <br />descriptions, plates and other supporting documentation. <br />4.8 Design Coordination — Coordination efforts may include, but will not be limited to, pipeline points <br />of connection, construction phasing, staging areas, and site access. URS will also coordinate our <br />design efforts with other project stakeholders, including the County of Orange, Orange County <br />4.9 Permits — At the request of the City, URS will prepare applications and coordinate all perm is with <br />the County of Orange, City of Newport Beach and Caltrans District 12 inclusive of environmental <br />permitting. URS will prepare and process the permit applications, including exhibits requited by the <br />issuing agency, and shall furnish the required number of copies of all plans and exhibits. City staff <br />will sign all applications as required by the owner. The City will pay all pettnit, filing and other fees <br />directly. <br />5 <br />25F358 <br />
