overview of our geotechnical engineering evaluation for the project and is not intended to replace more detailed information contained elsewhere in this report. As an overview, this summary inherently omits details that could be very important to the proper application of the provided geotechnical design recommendations. This report should be read in its entirety prior to implementation into design and construction. The New Public Safety Complex project involves constructing a new 35,000-sf, one-story building in the general vicinity of Westminster Drive and Bristol Drive in Statesville, North Carolina. A 172 foot communications tower and adjacent parking lots with connection roads will also be built. • The subsurface exploration program consisted of 15 soil test borings performed during the weeks of June 15 and 22, 2015. Site subsurface conditions generally consisted of surficial soils underlain by residual soils. • Based on soil laboratory testing and visual observations, elastic silts (MH) were typically in the upper 8 feet below existing grades. • The proposed buildings may be supported on a shallow foundation system bearing on approved residual soil or controlled structural fill. If the recommendations in the report are followed, we can recommend that building foundations be designed for a maximum allowable bearing pressure of 2,000 pounds per square foot (psf) for foundations bearing on approved subgrades. Exterior footings should be constructed at least 24 inches below adjacent grades for frost and bearing capacity considerations. • From the average SPT N -values obtained, the subsurface conditions at the project site correspond most closely with those of Site Classification "D". • Monitoring and testing of site grading and foundation construction should be performed in conjunction with the recommendations contained in this report. Deviating from the recommendations listed in this report could lead to potential excessive settlement issues and site erosion with the planned construction. Iredell County Facility Services F&R Record No. 63T-0112 F&R Report Serial No. T0112-GE01 Page 1 of 23 New Public Safety Complex Statesville, North Carolina July 17, 2015 7RM 1.0 PURPOSE & SCOPE OF SERVICE Froehling & Robertson, Inc. (F&R) was involved with the planned Iredell County New Public Safety Complex in Statesville, North Carolina, to 1) perform a subsurface exploration and laboratory testing, 2) provide shallow foundation design recommendations, provide pavement section design recommendations and 3) comment on geotechnical aspects of the proposed construction. In order to accomplish these objectives, we undertook the following scope of services: • Visited the site to observe existing surface conditions and mark the proposed boring locations. • Coordinated underground utility clearance with NC811. • Reviewed and summarized readily available geologic and subsurface information relative to the project site. • Executed the requested subsurface exploration program consisting of fifteen Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings. SPT borings B-01 through B-10 were advanced to termination depths of 20 feet below the proposed building footprint. Four additional 10 feet deep test borings were also performed at planned parking and road locations. One SPT boring was drilled at the planned location for the 172 - foot tall tower. • Performed nine sets of soil classification tests (ASTM D422 without hydrometer, D4318, D2216) and four standard Proctor maximum dry density tests with California Bearing Ratio determinations (ASTM D698 and D1883). • Preparation of this written report summarizing our work on the project, providing descriptions of the subsurface conditions encountered, presenting the recommended shallow foundation and pavement section designs, and discussing geotechnical related aspects of the proposed construction. Copies of the boring logs and laboratory test results are included. F&R's geotechnical services did not include topographic or field surveying, development of quantity estimates, preparation of plans and specifications, or the identification and evaluation of wetlands or other environmental aspects of the project site.

Farmer, P.E., on May 22, 2015. F&R provided Proposal No. 1663-00092G dated May 28, 2015, to Iredell County in response to the proposal request. A new Public Safety Complex is planned on a 16 -acre site. The proposed project involves constructing a new 35,000-sf, one-story building fronting on Bristol Drive in the general vicinity of Westminster Drive. A 172 -foot tall communications tower is planned to be constructed behind the building. F&R understands that initial project design and development is currently underway. As a result, detailed plans and specifications are unavailable at the time of this report. 2.2 Site Location and Description The proposed building location (Parcel 4724672542.000) sits southwest of the intersection of Westminster Drive and Bristol Drive in Statesville, North Carolina. This 16 -acre site is currently wooded. Project surroundings are shown on the attached Site Vicinity Map in Appendix II, Drawing No. 1. 3.0 EXPLORATION PROCEDURES 3.1 Subsurface Exploration The subsurface exploration program consisted of fifteen Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings. Ten borings designated as B-01 through B-10 were advanced to termination depths of 20 feet below the existing ground surface at the building footprint area. Four borings (CBR -1 to 4) were performed to 10 -feet below existing site grades at the proposed parking areas. One boring, for the 172 -foot tower, was drilled to auger refusal at 34.8 feet. Approximate boring locations are identified on the Subsurface Exploration Plan included in Appendix II as Drawing No. 2. Boring locations were marked at the site by F&R personnel utilizing hand-held GPS equipment. As such, the boring locations should be considered approximate. Subsurface exploration was performed during the weeks of June 15 and June 22, 2015. SPT tests at boring locations were performed continuously from the existing ground surface to a Iredell County Facility Services New Public Safety Complex F&R Record No. 63T-0112 Statesville, North Carolina F&R Report Serial No. T0112-GE01 July 17, 2015 Page 3 of 23 0 depth of 6 feet in general accordance with ASTM D1586. Thereafter, boreholes were advanced and SPT performed at approximate 5 -foot intervals to their termination depths. Soil samples were obtained with a standard 2" O.D. and 30" long split -spoon sampler with each SPT being driven with a 140 -Ib automatic hammer falling 30 inches. The number of blows required to drive the sampler each 6 -inch increment of penetration was recorded and are shown on the boring logs. The first six-inch increment is used to seat the sampler with the sum of the second and third penetration increments being termed the SPT value, "N". A representative portion of each disturbed split -spoon sample was collected with each SPT, placed in a glass jar, and returned to our laboratory for review. The recovered split -spoon samples were visually classified by F&R engineers in general accordance with the ASTM D2488. The boring logs provided in Appendix III show the subsurface conditions encountered on the dates and at the approximate locations indicated. The drill rig used for this project was an ATV -mounted, CME 550X equipped with an automatic hammer. Research has shown that the Standard Penetration Resistance (N -value) determined by the automatic hammer is different from the N -value determined by the safety hammer method. Most correlations that are published in technical literature are based on the N -value determined by the safety hammer method. This is commonly termed N60 as the rope and cathead with a safety hammer delivers roughly 60 percent of the theoretical energy delivered by a 140 -pound hammer falling 30 inches. Because an automatic hammer was used to perform the SPT tests, the sample blows recorded during drilling (Nf,eld) have been corrected to equivalent N60 safety hammer values. The N60 values reported on the boring logs included in this report were determined from the following equation: N60 ," Nf,eld x CE where Nfeld is the value recorded in the field, and CE is the drill rod energy ratio for the hammer used. A value of 1.3 was used for CE in accordance with guidelines provided in the Performance and Use of the Standard Penetration Test in Geotechnical Engineering Practice manual published by the Center for Geotechnical Practice and Research at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Iredell County Facility Services F&R Record No. 63T-0112 F&R Report Serial No. T0112-GE01 Page 4 of 23 New Public Safety Complex Statesville, North Carolina July 17, 2015 0 By the nature of the work performed, the drilling activities result in disturbances to the site. The completed boreholes performed were backfilled upon completion. The borehole backfill may subside at some time following our work. F&R assumes no responsibility for borehole subsidence after completion of the field exploration and departing the site. For continued safety, the boreholes should be occasionally observed by others with any needed additional backfilling then being performed. 3.2 Laboratory Testing For geotechnical considerations, select split -spoon samples from the soil test borings were subjected to laboratory classification testing. This testing included natural water content determinations (ASTM D2216), sieve analysis (ASTM D422 without hydrometer), and Atterberg limits tests (ASTM D4318). Based on the results of these tests, the soil samples were then classified in general accordance with Unified Soil Classification System (ASTM D2487). Laboratory testing was performed on bulk soil samples for determination of a California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value (ASTM D1883) for the proposed paved areas. Standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D698) was used to prepare each soil for CBR testing. Laboratory test results for are provided in Appendix IV. 4.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS 4.1 Subsurface Conditions The subsurface conditions discussed in the following paragraphs and those shown on the attached boring logs represent an estimate of the subsurface conditions based on interpretation of the field and laboratory data using normally accepted geotechnical engineering judgments. Subsurface profiles for the project stratigraphy have been prepared for convenience only. Given the wide spacing between boring locations, it is anticipated that subsurface conditions may vary between each boring location. Strata breaks designated on the boring logs represent approximate boundaries between soil types. The transitions between different soil strata are usually less distinct than those shown on the boring logs. Although individual soil test borings are representative of the subsurface conditions at the boring locations on the dates shown, they are not necessarily indicative of Iredell County Facility Services F&R Record No. 63T-0112 F&R Report Serial No. T0112-GE01 Page 5 of 23 New Public Safety Complex Statesville, North Carolina ` July 17, 2015 Q subsurface conditions at other locations or at other times. Data from the specific soil test borings are shown on the individual boring logs included in Appendix III. 4.2 Regional Geology The referenced site is located within the Inner Piedmont Geologic Province according to the Geologic Map of North Carolina (1985) and is reportedly underlain mainly by Biotite Gneiss and Schist (CZbg). Underlying rock is generally described as being inequigranular, locally abundant, potassium feldspar and garnet; interlayered and gradational with calc-silicate rock, sillimanite-mica schist, mica schist, and amphibolite. Underlying rock may contain small masses of granitic rock. Ground surface elevations within the Piedmont Plateau vary from approximately 400 feet above sea level in the east to 2,000 feet in the west. The topography of the Piedmont Plateau generally consists of well-rounded hills and long -rolling ridges with a northeast -southwest trend. This rolling topography is the result of streams flowing across and acting on rocks of unequal hardness. The Piedmont Plateau region is underlain by older crystalline (metamorphic and igneous) rock formations that trend northeast -southwest and vary greatly in their resistance to weathering and erosion. The major streams generally flow from northwest to southeast across these rock structures without regard to their northeast -southwest tending structures. The typical residual soil profile consists of fine-grained soils (clays/silts) near the surface, where soil weathering is more advanced, underlain by more coarse-grained soils (sandy silts/silty sands) with depth. The boundary between soil and rock is not sharply defined. This transitional zone, termed "weathered rock", is normally found overlying the parent bedrock. The degree of weathering is facilitated by fractures, joints, and by the presence of less resistant rock types. Consequently, the profile of the "weathered rock" and hard rock is quite irregular and erratic, even over short, horizontal distances. 4.3 Surficial Materials As identified by the boring data from this study, a surficial soil layer was encountered at multiple boring locations. Surficial soil is typically dark -colored soil material containing roots, fibrous matter, and/or other organic components, and is generally unsuitable for engineering purposes. F&R has not performed any laboratory testing to determine the organic content or Iredell County Facility Services F&R Record No. 63T-0112 F&R Report Serial No. T0112-GE01 Page 6 of 23 New Public Safety Complex Statesville, North Carolina July 17, 2015 other horticultural properties of the observed surficial soil materials. Therefore, the term surficial soil is not intended to indicate suitability for landscaping and/or other purposes. The surficial soil depth provided in this report is based on visual observations and should be considered approximate. We note that the transition from surficial soil to underlying materials maybe gradual and, therefore, the observation and measurement of surficial soil is subjective. Actual surficial soil depths should be expected to vary across the site. 4.4 Generalized Subsurface Stratigraphy Subsurface data obtained by the soil borings are presented in the following Composite Subsurface Profiles and in Appendix III.

The groundwater level was evaluated at each boring location by gauging the water level in the boring after drilling and by visually judging the moisture content of the recovered split -spoon soil samples. e ge depth ©f 11.5 feet. Baed' ®n th cavi g , p , g aur dwa�er may be encounte,rc�E'n Groundwater levels fluctuate with seasonal changes, periods of heavy or little rainfall, and other factors. Therefore, our evaluations of the groundwater level do not reveal the actual year-round groundwater conditions. 5.0 DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS 5.1 General The following findings and recommendations are based on our observations at the site, interpretation of the field and laboratory data obtained during our subsurface exploration, and our experience with similar subsurface conditions and projects. Soil penetration data has been used to evaluate the subsurface conditions based on established correlations. Subsurface conditions in unexplored locations may vary from those encountered. If the proposed building footprint is changed, F&R requests that we be advised so that our design recommendations can be re-evaluated. Determination of an appropriate foundation system for a given structure is dependent on the proposed structural loads, soil conditions, and construction constraints such as proximity to other structures, etc. The subsurface exploration aids the geotechnical engineer in determining the soil stratum appropriate for structural support. This determination includes considerations with regard to both allowable bearing capacity and compressibility of the soil strata. In addition, since the method of construction greatly affects the soils intended for structural support, consideration must be given to the implementation of suitable methods of site preparation, fill compaction, and other aspects of construction. Please refer to the Construction Recommendations included in Section 6 of this report. Iredell County Facility Services New Public Safety Complex F&R Record No. 63T-0112 Statesville, North Carolina F&R Report Serial No. T0112-GE01 July 17, 2015 Page 9 of 23 5.2 Shallow Foundation Design Recommendations Based on the available project information and our evaluations, structures may be supported on a conventional shallow foundation system bearing in approved Stratum I soils or compacted structural fill placed in accordance with requirements in Section 6. e structural elements should be centered on the foundations to provide uniform load transfer, unless the foundations are proportioned for eccentric loads. Shallow, lightly loaded foundations should bear at a depth of at least 24 inches below the finish exterior site grades to lessen the potential for damage from frost penetration and for bearing capacity considerations. 5.3 Anticipated Shallow Foundation Settlement Based on the boring data, assumed structural loading, and the considerations provided in Section 6,MM1,11sets, em t • e lug an oda ' = nI • a 0 75 +iup nd a uoil is expected to be on the order of Differential foundation settlement is anticipated to be on the order of %-inch or less. Our settlement analysis was performed on the basis of structural and grading assumptions discussed in the project information section of this report. Actual settlements experienced by the structure and the time required for these soils to settle will be influenced by undetected variations in subsurface conditions, actual structural loads, final grading plans, and the quality of fill placement and foundation construction. 5.4 Concrete Slabs -On -Grade Concrete slabs not structurally supported as part of the building may be placed on properly compacted controlled structural fill over an approved soil subgrade following subgrade preparation as discussed in Section 6. A standard modulus of subgrade reaction ("k") of 75 pounds per square inch per inch (psi/in) may be used for the design of the slabs -on -grade. Iredell County Facility Services New Public Safety Complex F&R Record No. 63T-0112 Statesville, North Carolina F&R Report Serial No. T0112-GE01 July 17, 2015 Page 10 of 23 Slabs should be structurally isolated (float freely) from the foundations to allow for differential movement between the slabs and the structure. Settlements associated with the slabs are anticipated to be on the order of 1 -inch or less, provided the slab area is prepared and controlled structural fill material is placed and compacted as recommended. A six-inch thick layer of North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Open Graded Coarse Aggregate No. 57 or No. 78 or clean sand (SP per Unified Soil Classification System) should be placed beneath the floor slab. This granular base would function as a leveling and load distributing material as well as a capillary break beneath the slab. A vapor retarder should be used beneath slabs that will be covered by tile, wood, carpet, impermeable coatings, and/or if other moisture -sensitive equipment or materials will be in contact with the slab. However, the use of vapor retarders may result in excessive curling of concrete slabs during curing. We refer the concrete slab designer to ACI 302.111-04, Sections 4.1.5 and 11.11, for further discussion on vapor retarders, curling, and the means to lessen potential concrete shrinkage and curling. Proper jointing of the concrete slabs -on -grade is also essential to reduce cracking. ACI suggests that unreinforced, plain concrete slabs may be jointed at spacing of 24 to 36 times the slab thickness, up to a maximum spacing of 15 feet. Slab construction should incorporate isolation joints along walls and column locations to allow minor movements to occur without damage. Utility or other construction excavations in the prepared subgrade should be backfilled to a controlled fill criterion to provide uniform support. 5.5 Lateral Earth Pressures The following information is provided to aid in analysis of soil loads on below -grade concrete walls. These below -grade wall recommendations should not be correlated for use in any other wall design. Earth pressures on below grade walls are influenced by structural design of the walls, conditions of wall restraint, methods of construction and/or compaction, and the strength of the materials being restrained. The most common conditions assumed for earth retaining wall design are the active and at -rest conditions. Active conditions apply to relatively flexible earth retention structures, such as freestanding walls, where some movement and rotation may Iredell County Facility Services F&R Record No. 63T-0112 F&R Report Serial No. T0112-GE01 Page 11 of 23 New Public Safety Complex Statesville, North Carolina July 17, 2015 9 occur to mobilize soil shear strength. Walls that are rigidly restrained require design using at - rest earth pressures. A third condition, the passive state, represents the maximum possible pressure when a structure is pushed against the soil, and is used in wall foundation design to help resist active or at -rest pressures. Because significant wall movements are required to develop the passive pressure, the total calculated passive pressure should be reduced by one-half to two-thirds for design purposes. A granular material such as NCDOT No. 57 stone or SP sand should be used for backfill behind the below grade walls. This material should be free draining and meet the requirements for controlled structural backfill, as outlined in Section 6 of this report. A moist unit weight of 115 pounds per cubic foot and angle of internal friction of 30' should be used for design calculations for below grade structures or foundation with granular backfill bearing against the existing Stratum I or II soils. Based on these values, recommended lateral earth pressure coefficients and equivalent fluid pressure parameters for design of below grade structures are provided in the following Table: Table 5.5.1: Lateral Earth Pressure Design Data Granular Backfill Earth Pressure Conditions Coefficient Recommended Equivalent Fluid Pressure —Drained (psf/ft)1 Fully Submerged Equivalent Fluid Pressures (psf/ft)l Active (Ka) 0.33 38 81 At -Rest (Ko) 0.50 58 91 Passive (KP) 3.00 345 -- NOTE: 1— does not include a factor of safety An appropriate factor of safety should be applied to the recommended equivalent fluid pressures for below grade wall design. A soil -concrete coefficient of friction (tan S) of 0.4 is recommended for use with respect to evaluating foundation sliding resistance.

Iredell County Facility Services F&R Record No. 63T-0112 F&R Report Serial No. T0112-GE01 Page 15 of 23 New Public Safety Complex Statesville, North Carolina July 17, 2015 FSR 6.0 CONSTRUCTION RECOMMENDATIONS 6.1 General The principal purpose of this section is to comment in general on the items related to earthwork and associated geotechnical engineering aspects of construction that should be expected for this project. It is recommended that F&R's geotechnical engineer be retained to provide soil -engineering services during the construction phases of the project and perform appropriate evaluations to help assure that conditions encountered during construction are similar to conditions encountered in the borings. The geotechnical engineer can also assist in interpretation of differing subsurface conditions that may be encountered and recommend remedial work, if needed. 6.2 Site Preparation The entire construction area should be stripped of grass, trees, stumps, vegetation, organic - laden soils, debris or any other deleterious materials to a- minimum of 10 feet outside the structural limits for buildings and 5 feet for paved areas. Depressions or low areas resulting from stripping and or clearing operations should be backfilled with approved soil and compacted in accordance with the recommendations presented in this report. During grading operations, hidden features in the substratum, such as organic laden soils, trash, or other deleterious materials will likely be encountered within the proposed construction area. Generally, such features will require removal. Details regarding the removal of deleterious materials should be determined on a case-by-case basis; and, therefore, c.yn rrae dc,c.u;i u�.on�ts We recommend site preparation be monitored by the geotechnical engineer or his representative to verify that the recommendations presented herein are implemented. Prio 0 e&fec, a n7aJ �ttijfit-eer o h:i_ rP ..r_e P_ratriiuP,_ Proofrolling should be performed with a fully loaded tandem -axle dump truck or similar piece of rubber -tired equipment with a minimum loaded weight of 20 tons. The purpose of the proofrolling is to detect the existence of any soft, very loose, or wet, near -surface materials or unsuitable soils that may require undercutting.

In general, el'as &ic siilfis are highly moisture sensitive, have low strength properties, can undergo significant changes in volume (shrink/swell) with changes in their moisture content, and are to help reduce the potential for soil movement from such materials directly underlying structures.

Due to the nature of these moisture sensitive soils, we recommend positive drainage be provided away from the building pad and roadway areas during and after construction. Please be aware that there is the possibility that problems may arise when using elastic silts as structural fill. If elastic silts are to be used as structural fill, we recommend using these soils in the deeper fill areas if laboratory testing indicates dry unit weights above 90 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). If the elastic silts are tested and are lightweight (less than 90 pcf), they may be used in landscaped areas. 6.4 Structural Fill Placement and Compaction Iredell County Facility Services F&R Record No. 63T-0112 F&R Report Serial No. T0112-GE01 Page 17 of 23 New Public Safety Complex Statesville, North Carolina July 17, 2015 FB�R Fill in structural areas should be free of organics, roots, or other deleterious materials; should not contain more than five percent (by weight) organic material; have a plasticity index (PI) greater than 25; or have a maximum dry density less than 90 pounds per cubic foot. Soils not meeting these criteria may be used in landscaped or non-structural areas. Compacted structural fill should consist of material classified as CL, ML, SC or SM per ASTM D2487, or others as approved by the geotechnical engineer. CH and MH materials are generally not recommended for use as structural fill due to their low strength characteristics and moisture sensitivity, but may be approved on a case-by-case basis. Soils imported from off-site sources should also meet similar classification requirements and be approved by the geotechnical engineer prior to use. Successful reuse of the excavated, on-site soils as compacted structural fill will depend on the water content and the plasticity of the soils encountered during excavation. Once fill placement begins, Structural fills should be placed in thin (8- to 10 -inch) loose lifts and compacted to the following recommendations: • er i ,e es below the final subgrade elevation: ■ 100% of the soil's standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM Test Method D698) at or near optimum water content: maximum deviation of ±3 percent. ■ 98% of the soil's standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM Test Method D698) at or near optimum water content: maximum deviation of ±3 percent. Some manipulation of the water content (such as wetting or drying) may be required during the filling operation to obtain the required degree of compaction. The manipulation of the water content is highly dependent on weather conditions and site drainage conditions. Therefore, the grading contractor should be prepared to both dry and wet the fill materials to obtain the specified compaction during grading. Regular one -point Proctor tests should be conducted in an attempt to verify that the most representative Proctor curve is being selected. S f ieien The contractor should exercise care after these soils have been compacted. If water is allowed to stand on the surface, these soils may become saturated. Movement of construction traffic on saturated subgrades can cause rutting that may destroy the fill's integrity. Once the Iredell County Facility Services New Public Safety Complex F&R Record No. 63T-0112 Statesville, North Carolina F&R Report Serial No. T0112-GE01 July 17, 2015 Page 18 of 23 9 integrity of the subgrade is destroyed, mobility of construction traffic becomes difficult or impossible. Therefore, the fill surface should be sloped to achieve positive drainage and to minimize water from ponding on the surface. 6.5 Shallow Foundation Construction To document suitable bearing within the actual foundation excavatio OUR jp�m.e�rut ®r ohh.e,r sui�ta�lale me�t�hod�s Allier �a f�MZMM�tf�.a�n i�m�11� Any unsuitable soils detected during this evaluation should be undercut and remediated as directed by the geotechnical engineer. Depending on final design grades, some localized undercutting and/or recompaction should be anticipated. We recommend that individual foundations be concreted as soon after the evaluation as possible to minimize the potential disturbance of the bearing soils. If the foundation excavation subgrade soils must remain exposed overnight or during inclement weather, w rdec_�.inrnead The foundation bearing area should be free of any very loose or soft material, standing water, and debris at the time of concrete placement. Concrete should not be placed on soils that have been softened by precipitation or frost heave. Exposure of the subgrade materials to the environment may weaken these soils at the foundation bearing level ch�ai 6.6 Surface Water Control If free water is allowed to stand on stable subgrade soils, particularly the elastic silts, these soils can absorb water, swell, and experience a reduction in their support capability. As a result, we recommend that the subgrade surface be graded to provide positive drainage away from the Iredell County Facility Services F&R Record No. 63T-0112 F&R Report Serial No. T0112-GEO1 Page 19 of 23 New Public Safety Complex Statesville, North Carolina July 17, 2015 M construction areas and towards suitable drainage handling areas, such as a perimeter ditch, - French drain, culvert, or retention pond. Due to the presence of moisture -sensitive soils, trapped or perched water conditions could develop during periods of inclement weather and during seasonally wet periods. Such conditions could cause seepage into excavations and deeper cuts. Therefore, grading of the project should be performed in such a manner to prevent ponding of water and promote runoff away from construction areas. In addition, if site grading is performed during the seasonally wet months or after extended periods of inclement weather, wet and water softened near surface soil conditions should be expected. 6.7 Excavation Characteristics We anticipate a majority of the near -surface subgrade soils at the site can be excavated with backhoes, front-end loaders or other similar equipment using conventional means and methods. However, if weathered rock is encountered at shallow depths, increased effort such as jack hammering or ripping will likely be necessary to excavate the weathered rock. Typically, material with an N -value of 50 blows per 3 to 6 inches of penetration can be excavated with moderate to heavy effort using appropriately sized equipment, such as a large track -hoe (e.g., Caterpillar 330 with rock teeth). Material that exhibits less than 3 inches of penetration per 50 blows and material causing auger refusal will likely require jack hammering, blasting or drilling to facilitate removal. Since the site is relatively close to neighboring structures, we do not recommend blasting be performed. 6.8 Elastic silts not meeting the classification of controlled structural fill were encountered in the near surface strata. Soils not meeting the requirements for Controlled Structural Fill could be used for backfill in "green" areas. However, it may not be economically feasible to dry soils that are found to be excessively wet during the excavation procedures. Such conditions may require the use of off-site borrow for backfill. Placement and compaction of non-structural fill materials in green areas should be in accordance with the recommendations provided in Section 6.4; however, the required minimum compaction could be reduced to at lea sjo0 e ce of twh &Eand ,. octor (ASTM D698) maximum dry density. Iredell County Facility Services F&R Record No. 63T-0112 F&R Report Serial No. T0112-GE01 Page 20 of 23 New Public Safety Complex Statesville, North Carolina July 17, 2015 0 6.9 Groundwater Conditions Groundwater for the purposes of this report is defined as water encountered below the existing ground surface. Based on the data obtained during our exploration program, groundwater was not encountered to the depths explored. However, caving of the borings was noted to occur between 6 and 24 feet below the ground surface at an average depth of 11.5 feet. Based on the caving depths, groundwater may be encountered at depths below 6 feet, especially in the Stratum II sands. The contractor should be prepared to dewater locations where excavations are advanced below the groundwater level. The contractor should be responsible for the design and installation of any dewatering systems required for this project. Groundwater levels tend to fluctuate with seasonal and climatic variations as well as with some types of construction operations. Generally, the highest groundwater levels occur in late winter and early spring and the lowest levels occur in late summer and early fall. Depending on time of construction, ground ,afar may be encountered at shallower depths and locations not explored during this study.I-f a cou�ntered du�rin�g ,,>vn�str�cti ff','� 5me,eIri~n�g p on ��ea 04 � • ur MEN, Wiges6FU n�®twi pied i� r�n�edJan +ly. 6.10 Soil Erosion The Stratum I soils at this site are fine-grained and highly erodible. Once design finish grade elevations are established for green areas, finish grades should be protected from erosion. Sloped areas with increased stormwater runoff rates should be protected from erosion using temporary erosion prevention practices until permanent erosion prevention methods, such as vegetative growth, can be established. 6.11 Excavations Mass excavations and other excavations required for construction of this project must be performed in accordance with the United States Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines (29 CFR 1926, Subpart P, Excavations) or other applicable jurisdictional codes for permissible temporary side -slope ratios and/or shoring requirements. The OSHA guidelines require daily inspections of excavations, adjacent areas Iredell County Facility Services F&R Record No. 63T-0112 F&R Report Serial No. T0112-GE01 Page 21 of 23 New Public Safety Complex Statesville, North Carolina July 17, 2015 fa�R and protective systems by a "competent person" for evidence of situations that could result in cave-ins, indications of failure of a protective system, or other hazardous conditions. Excavated soils, equipment, building supplies, etc., should be placed away from the edges of the excavation at a distance equaling or exceeding the depth of the excavation. F&R cautions that the actual excavation slopes will need to be evaluated frequently each day by the "competent person" and flatter slopes or the use of shoring may be required to maintain a safe excavation depending upon excavation specific circumstances. The contractor is responsible for providing the "competent person" and all aspects of site excavation safety. F&R can evaluate specific excavation slope situations if we are informed and requested by the owner, designer or contractor's "competent person". 7.0 CONTINUATION OF SERVICES F&R recommends that we be retained for professional and construction materials testing services during construction of the project. Our continued involvement on the project helps provide continuity for proper implementation of the recommendations discussed herein. Additionally, we request the opportunity to review the foundation plans and project specifications when these construction documents approach completion. This review evaluates whether the recommendations and comments provided herein have been understood and properly implemented. The above listed services are not part of the currently authorized scope of services. 8.0 LIMITATIONS There are important limitations to this and all geotechnical studies. Some of these limitations are discussed in the information prepared by the Geoprofessional Business Association (GBA), which is included in Appendix I. We recommend that you review the GBA information. This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Iredell County Facility Services, or their agents, for specific application to the New Public Safety Complex in Statesville, North Carolina, in accordance with generally accepted soil and foundation engineering practices. No other warranty, express or implied, is made. Our conclusions and recommendations are based on design information furnished to us at the time the work was performed; the data obtained from the previously described subsurface exploration program, and generally accepted geotechnical engineering practice. The findings and recommendations do not reflect variations in subsurface Iredell County Facility Services New Public Safety Complex F&R Record No. 63T-0112 Statesville, North Carolina F&R Report Serial No. T0112-GE01 July 17, 2015 Page 22 of 23 fa�R conditions, which could exist in unexplored areas of the site. In areas where variations from the available subsurface data become apparent during construction, it will be necessary to re- evaluate our conclusions and recommendations based upon on-site observations of the conditions. Regardless of the thoroughness of a subsurface exploration, there is the possibility that conditions in other areas will differ from those at the boring locations, that conditions are not as anticipated by the designers, or that the construction process has altered the soil conditions. Therefore, our experienced geotechnical engineers should evaluate foundation construction to verify that the conditions anticipated in design actually exist. Otherwise, we assume no responsibility for construction compliance with the design concepts, specifications, or recommendations. In the event that changes are made in the design or location of the proposed building, paved areas, and tower location, the recommendations presented in this report shall not be considered valid unless the changes are reviewed by our firm and conclusions of this report modified and/or verified in writing. If this report is copied or transmitted to a third party, it must be copied or transmitted in its entirety, including text, attachments, and enclosures. Interpretations based on only a part of this report may not be valid.

A geotechnical -engineering study conducted for a civil engi- neer may not fulfill the needs of a construction contractor or even another civil engineer. Because each geotechnical -engineering study is unique, each geotechnical -engineering report is unique, prepared solelyfor the client. No one except you should rely on your geotechnical engineering report without first conferring with the geotechnical engineer who prepared it. Andno one —not even you —should apply the report for any purpose or project except the one originally contemplated Read the Full Report Serious problems have occurred because those relying on a geotechnical - engineering report did not read it all. Do not rely on an executive summary. Do not read selected elements only. A Geotechnical -Engineering Report Is Based on a Unique Set of Project -Specific Factors Geotechnical engineers consider many unique, project -specific factors when establishing the scope of a study. Typical factors include: the client's goals, objectives, and risk -management preferences; the general nature of the structure involved, its size, and configuration; the location of the struc- ture on the site; and other planned or existing site improvements, such as access roads, parking lots, and underground utilities Unless the geotech- nical engineer who conducted the study specifically indicates otherwise, do not rely on a geotechnical engineering report that was: • not prepared for you, not prepared for your project, not prepared for the specific site explored, or completed before important project changes were made. Typical changes that can erode the reliability of an existing geotechnical - engineering report include those that affect: • the function of the proposed structure, as when it's changed from a parking garage to an office building, or from a light -industrial plant to a refrigerated warehouse, elevation, configuration, location, orientation, or weight of the proposed structure, composition of the design team, or project ownership. As a general rule, always inform your geotechnical engineer of project changes—even minor ones—and request an assessment of their impact. Geotechnical engineers cannot accept responsibility or liability for problems that occur because their reports do not consider developments of which they were not informed Subsurface Conditions Can Change A geotechnical -engineering report is based on conditions that existed at the time the study was performed. Do not rely on a geotechnical -engineer- ing reportwhose adequacy may have been affected by: the passage of time; by man-made events, such as construction on or adjacent to the site, or by natural events, such as floods, droughts, earthquakes, or groundwa- ter fluctuations Always contact the geotechnical engineer before applying the report to determine if it is still reliable. A minor amount of additional testing or analysis could prevent major problems. Most Geotechnical Findings Are Professional Opinions Site exploration identifies subsurface conditions only at those points where subsurface tests are conducted or samples are taken. Geotechnical engi- neers review field and laboratory data and then apply their professional judgment to render an opinion about subsurface conditions throughout the site. Actual subsurface conditions may differ—sometimes significantly— from those indicated in your report. Retaining the geotechnical engineer who developed your report to provide construction observation is the most effective method of managing the risks associated with unanticipated conditions. A Report's Recommendations Are Not Final Do not overrely on the construction recommendations included in your report. Those recommendations are not final, because geotechnical engi- neers develop them principally from judgment and opinion. Geotechnical engineers can finalize their recommendations only by observing actual subsurface conditions revealed during construction. The geotechnical engineer who developed your report cannot assume responsibility or liability for the report's recommendations if that engineer does not perform construction observation. A Geotechnical Engineering Report Is Subject to Misinterpretation Other design team members' misinterpretation of geotechnical -engineering reports has resulted in costly problems Lower that risk by having your geo- technical engineer confer with appropriate members of the design team after submitting the report Also retain your geotechnical engineer to review perti- nent elements of the design team's plans and specifications Contractors can also misinterpret a geotechnical -engineering report. Reduce that risk by having your geotechnical engineer participate in prebid and preconstruction conferences, and by providing construction observation. Do Not Redraw the Engineer's Logs ueoiecnnicai engineers prepare renal Doring ano testing logs oasea upon their interpretation of field logs and laboratory data. To prevent errors or omissions, the logs included in a geotechnical engineering report should neverbe redrawn for inclusion in architectural or other design drawings. Only photographic or electronic reproduction is acceptable, but recognize that separating logs from the report can elevate risk Give Contractors a Complete Report and Guidance Some owners and design professionals mistakenly believe they can make contractors liable for unanticipated subsurface conditions by limiting what they provide for bid preparation. To help prevent costly problems, give con- tractors the complete geotechnical -engineering report, but preface it with a clearly written letter of transmittal. In that letter, advise contractors that the report was not prepared for purposes of bid development and that the report's accuracy is limited; encourage them to confer with the geotechnical engineer who prepared the report (a modest fee may be required) and/or to conduct additional study to obtain the specific types of information they need or prefer. A prebid conference can also be valuable. Be sure contrac- tors have sufficient time to perform additional study Only then might you be in a position to give contractors the best Information available to you, while requiring them to at least share some of the financial responsibilities stemming from unanticipated conditions. Read Responsibility Provisions Closely Some clients, design professionals, and contractors do not recognize that geotechnical engineering is far less exact than other engineering disci- plines. This lack of understanding has created unrealistic expectations that have led to disappointments, claims, and disputes. To help reduce the risk of such outcomes, geotechnical engineers commonly Include a variety of explanatory provisions in their reports, Sometimes labeled "limitations," many of these provisions indicate where geotechnical engineers' responsi- bilities begin and end, to help others recognize their own responsibilities and risks. Read these provisions closely. Ask questions. Your geotechnical engineer should respond fully and frankly. Geoenvironmental Concerns Are Not Covered The equipment, techniques, and personnel used to perform a geoenviron- mental study differ significantly from those used to perform a geotechnical study. For that reason, a geotechnical -engineering report does not usually relate any geoenvironmental findings, conclusions, or recommendations, e.g., about the likelihood of encountering underground storage tanks or regulated contaminants. Unanticipated environmental problems have led to numerous project failures If you have not yet obtained your own geoenvi- ronmental information, ask your geotechnical consultant for risk manage- ment guidance. Do not rely on an environmental report prepared for some- one else. Obtain Professional Assistance To Deal with Mold Diverse strategies can be applied during building design, construction, operation, and maintenance to prevent significant amounts of mold from growing on indoor surfaces. To be effective, all such strategies should be devised for the express purpose of mold prevention, Integrated Into a com- prehensive plan, and executed with diligent oversight by a professional mold -prevention consultant. Because just a small amount of water or moisture can lead to the development of severe mold infestations, many mold -prevention strategies focus on keeping building surfaces dry While groundwater, water infiltration, and similar issues may have been addressed as part of the geotechnical -engineering study whose findings are conveyed in this report, the geotechnical engineer in charge of this project is not a mold -prevention consultant; none of the services per- formed in connection with the geotechnical engineer's study were designed or conducted for the purpose of mold preven- tion. Proper implementation of the recommendations conveyed in this report will not of itself he sufficient to prevent mold from growing in or on the structure involved.
