GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES (BOULDER WALL DESIGN REPORT)
• BEVLAND OFFICE BUILDING WEST
TIGARD, OREGON
Gentlemen,
In general accordance with our proposal of June 17, 2004, and your authorization of the same
day, West Coast Geotech, Inc., is pleased to provide you with geotechnical design
recommendations concerning the proposed boulder retaining walls for the above - referenced
project that is generally located northwest of the intersection of SW Beveland Road and SW 72
Avenue in Tigard, Oregon.
Any discussion of subsurface soil conditions that may be contained herein is not based on any
actual site - specific test pits or borings since neither test pits nor borings were conducted for this
project. Hence, we will make assumptions about the subsurface soil conditions in order to
provide you with geotechnical design recommendations for the boulder wall design only. The
subsurface soil conditions will need to be verified during construction in order to validate our
geotechnical design recommendations. This report was prepared for your use in the design of the
subject facility and should be made available for information on factual data only. This report
should not be used for contractual purposes as a warranty of interpreted subsurface conditions
• discussed herein, if any.
SITE AND PROJECT INFORMATION
We understand that the proposed project consists of the design and construction of two boulder
walls (more or less, on the periphery of the property with an overall maximum height of 8 feet,
more or less) in order to create a more level lot. One of the boulder walls will retain native cut

while the other boulder wall will retain fill for a level parking lot, based on our telephone
conversation with your Excavator on June 1, 2004.
If our understanding of the project is substantially different than what we have presented in the
previous paragraph, please bring" the new information to our attention as soon as possible so that
we can determine if our recommendations require modification.
BOULDER WALL DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
General
We have not conducted any surveying or determined any elevations; hence, we will rely on you
and/or your Excavator to provide the control necessary in determining elevations, boulder wall
heights and slopes. If any of these variables are significantly different (as measured by you
and/or your Excavator) than what is presented herein within this report, then it is your
responsibility to bring the matter(s) to our attention.
Boulder Walls
We recommend that 1 -1/2 ton angular boulders with a typical size of 3 to 4 feet in diameter,
more or less, be used for the boulder wall planned for this project and should be selectively
placed to fit "snugly" with surrounding, adjacent boulders.
The attached figure(s) at the end of this report shall be used in constructing the boulder walls for
this project and shall be used in conjuction with this report and not as a separate item(s):
O Figure 1 for the 0 to 6 -foot tall, more or less, boulder wall (and, includes a level
backslope behind the boulder wall),
® Figure 2 for the 6 to 8 -foot tall, more or less, boulder wall (and, includes a level
backslope behind the boulder wall).
If grading plans change and/or if the boulder wall height changes, we recommend that we be
allowed to review the changes and modify any or all recommendations contained within this
report.

A copy of our boulder wall design calculations is provided in Appendix A for the fires
provided. In general, we attempted to rely on the following factors of safety, more or less, in our
design calculations:
• Factor of Safety Against Sliding (Primary and Most Important Variable, in our
opinion, for boulder wall design) 1:4 `minimum 1.5 or greater, preferred,
• Factor of Safety Against Overturning (Secondary) — 2, minimum
• Factor of Safety for Average Allowable Bearing Pressure (Secondary) — 3,
minimum,
• We also attempted to check the maximum toe pressure, more or Less, to determine
if the maximum toe pressure exceeded what we believe was the ultimate bearing
pressure (although, this check is not determined to be a critical factor for boulder
wall design as this check is for critical for concrete wall design, in our opinion,
because the stones do yield since the stones are essentially blocks),
• The same can be said for determining the presence of negative contact pressure at
the toe. Stones do yield, hence the check for determining the presence of negative
contact pressure at the toe is not critically important, in our opinion, for boulder
wall design. Hence, we may allow negative toe pressure to be present in our
boulder wall design and do not allow this check to govern the design of the
boulder wall.
Our design also assume that a spoil's trench does not exist in front of the boulder wall. If your
Excavator plans to borrow inorganic soil and replace the over - excavation with spoil's /organic
soils in the general proximity of the proposed boulder wall locations, we recommend that we be
allowed to evaluate the effect on the design of the boulder walls due to such grading/borrowing.
Our design assumes that the native soils adjacent to the boulder walls generally consist of firm,
approved, fine- grained silts capable of supporting an allowable bearing pressure of 2,000 psf
(average). If any fill is placed in the vicinity of the boulder walls, we assume that the fills have
been or will be placed, compacted and tested in lifts to dry densities of at least 95 percent of the
standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D698) beginning upon an approved, firm, native
subgrade (reasonably level and properly benched, as necessary) capable of supporting an
allowable bearing pressure of 2,000 psf (average). The fill shall consist of approved, inorganic
•
onsite fine - grained soils that does not contain organic or deleterious debris nor substantially
containing clay or over -sized material such that compaction cannot be adequately achieved
and/or tested using a nuclear densometer.
Our design assumes that the excavated soils at the native, cut slopes generally consist of firm,
inorganic silt/clayey silts with an approximate unit weight of 120 pcf and an intemal friction
Diversified Construction
June 21, 2004
Page 4
angle of 34 degrees and an allowable bearing pressure of 2,000 psf (average) with a friction
factor of 0.5. Site visit(s) during excavation and construction of the boulder walls are strongly
advised to confirm the subsurface soil conditions in order to validate the boulder wall designs
contained herein.
Our design also assumes that the boulder retaining wall will not be surcharged by the presence of
nearby elevated footings and/or concrete slabs /Sport's Courts. If any of these type structures fall
within the zone of influence behind the boulder wall(s), say, within an imaginary slope of 1H:1V
from the inside bottom edge of the boulder wall excavation to the outside edge of any footings
and/or concrete slabs /Sport's Courts, then we recommend that we be allowed to consider the
effect of surcharges on the boulder wall. In addition, a nonwoven geotextile may also be
recommended to separate the fine - grained soils from the drainrock on the faces of the temporary
cut/fill slopes for those critical areas where footings and/or concrete slabs /Sport's Courts may be
present within the boulder wall's zone of influence. We recommend that we be allowed to
consider these aspects in detail for any footings /slabs in near proximity to the boulder walls.
The same recommendations in the previous paragraph should be considered for any traffic
surcharges that may be present above the boulder retaining wall if trucks /cars are present within
the boulder wall's zone of influence.
Boulder Row Construction
The bottom row of stones should be embedded approximately 1 foot, more or less, below lowest
adjacent grade which should be taken as the final grade on the outside portion of the wall. The
subgrade should be excavated using a smooth bucket trackhoe, if at all possible unless hard rock
conditions prevail at subgrade levels, and should be sloped inward and downward slightly (say,
less than five degrees from horizontal) in order to aid to the overall stability of the boulder wall.
The lowest level of stones should be founded on firm, native, approved, inorganic, suitable
subgrade after all the unsuitable fill/topsoil, if any, has been satisfactorily removed or upon
engineered fill that has been satisfactorily placed, compacted and tested in lifts beginning on an
approved native subgrade. Bench cuts should be excavated in terraced areas where fills will be
• placed. The purpose of bench cuts is to "key -in" the new engineered fill to the native soils in
order to promote stability.
A relatively clean, uniform crushed drain -type rock (on the order of 2 to 4- inches in typical
diameter with little, if any, fines) should be used to help "seat" the boulder stones in place and to
backfill between the existing boulder wall and the reinforced section of new boulders. Where

Unanticipated soil conditions are commonly encountered and cannot be fully determined merely
by producing a boulder wall design report without any field explorations. The actual subsurface
conditions may be significantly different than what is assumed herein in this letter report. Such
unexpected conditions frequently require that additional expenditures be made to attain a
- properly constructed project: Therefore - a° contingency fund is to- accommodate
such potential extra cost.
Be advised that the Local Governing Agency may sometimes require additional geotechnical or
other studies in order to approve the project as part of the planning approval/building permitting
process. Our Boulder Wall Design Report(s) does not guarantee that the project will be approved
by the Local Governing Agency without these additional studies, if required by the Local
Governing Agency, being performed. Expenses incurred in reliance upon our Report(s) prior to
final approval of the Local Governing Agency are the exclusive responsibility of the Client. In
no event shall West Coast Geotech, Inc., be responsible for any delays in approval which are not
exclusively caused by West Coast Geotech, Inc..
We trust that this letter -report is sufficient to meet your current needs. If you have any questions,

GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES (BOULDER WALL DESIGN REPORT)
BEVLAND OFFICE BUILDING WEST
TIGARD, OREGON
Gentlemen,
In general accordance with our proposal of June 17, 2004, and your authorization of the same
day, West Coast Geotech, Inc., is pleased to provide you with geotechnical design
recommendations concerning the proposed boulder retaining walls for the above - referenced
project that is generally located northwest of the intersection of SW Beveland Road and SW 72"
Avenue in Tigard, Oregon.
Any discussion of subsurface soil conditions that may be contained herein is not based on any
actual site - specific test pits or borings since neither test pits nor borings were conducted for this
project. Hence, we will make assumptions about the subsurface soil conditions in order to
provide you with geotechnical design recommendations for the boulder wall design only. The
subsurface soil conditions will need to be verified during construction in order to validate our
geotechnical design recommendations. This report was prepared for your use in the design of the
subject facility and should be made available for information on factual data only. This report
should not be used for contractual purposes as a warranty of interpreted subsurface conditions
discussed herein, if any.
SITE AND PROJECT INFORMATION
We understand that the proposed project consists of the design and construction of two boulder
walls (more or less, on the periphery of the property with an overall maximum height of 8 feet,
more or less) in order to create a more level lot. One of the boulder walls will retain native cut

while the other boulder wall will retain fill for a level parking lot, based on our telephone
conversation with your Excavator on June 1, 2004.
If our understanding of the project is substantially different than what we have presented in the
previous paragraph, please bring the new information to our attention as soon as possible so that
we can determine if our recommendations require modification.
BOULDER WALL DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
General
We have not conducted any surveying or determined any elevations; hence, we will rely on you
and/or your Excavator to provide the control necessary in determining elevations, boulder wall
heights and slopes. If any of these variables are significantly different (as measured by you
and/or your Excavator) than what is presented herein within this report, then it is your
responsibility to bring the matter(s) to our attention.
Boulder Walls
We recommend that 1 -1/2 ton angular boulders with a typical size of 3 to 4 feet in diameter,
more or less, be used for the boulder wall planned for this project and should be selectively
placed to fit "snugly" with surrounding, adjacent boulders.
The attached figure(s) at the end of this report shall be used in constructing the boulder walls for
this project and shall be used in conjuction with this report and not as a separate item(s):
• Figure 1 for the 0 to 6 -foot tall, more or less, boulder wall (and, includes a level
backslope behind the boulder wall),
• Figure 2 for the 6 to 8 -foot tall, more or less, boulder wall (and, includes a level
backslope behind the boulder wall).
If grading plans change and/or if the boulder wall height changes, we recommend that we be
allowed to review the changes and modify any or all recommendations contained within this
report.
Diversified Construction
June 21, 2004

A copy of our boulder wall design calculations is provided in Appendix A for the fires
provided. In general, we attempted to rely on the following factors of safety, more or less, in our
design calculations:
® Factor of Safety Against Sliding (Primary and Most Important Variable, in our
opinion, for boulder wall design) 1:4 `minimum 1.5 or greater, tom)= SY' ,referred P
® Factor of Safety Against Overturning (Secondary) — 2, minimum
O Factor of Safety for Average Allowable Bearing Pressure (Secondary) — 3,
minimum,
® We also attempted to check the maximum toe pressure, more or less, to determine
if the maximum toe pressure exceeded what we believe was the ultimate bearing
pressure (although, this check is not determined to be a critical factor for boulder
wall design as this check is for critical for concrete wall design, in our opinion,
because the stones do yield since the stones are essentially blocks),
B The same can be said for determining the presence of negative contact pressure at
the toe. Stones do yield, hence the check for determining the presence of negative
contact pressure at the toe is not critically important, in our opinion, for boulder
wall design. Hence, we may allow negative toe pressure to be present in our
boulder wall design and do not allow this check to govern the design of the
boulder wall.
Our design also assume that a spoil's trench does not exist in front of the boulder wall. If your
Excavator plans to borrow inorganic soil and replace the over - excavation with spoil's /organic
soils in the general proximity of the proposed boulder wall locations, we recommend that we be
allowed to evaluate the effect on the design of the boulder walls due to such grading/borrowing.
Our design assumes that the native soils adjacent to the boulder walls generally consist of firm,
approved, fine- grained silts capable of supporting an allowable bearing pressure of 2,000 psf
(average). If any fill is placed in the vicinity of the boulder walls, we assume that the fills have
been or will be placed, compacted and tested in lifts to dry densities of at least 95 percent of the
standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D698) beginning upon an approved, firm, native
subgrade (reasonably level and properly benched, as necessary) capable of supporting an
allowable bearing pressure of 2,000 psf (average). The fill shall consist of approved, inorganic
onsite fine - grained soils that does not contain organic or deleterious debris nor substantially
containing clay or over -sized material such that compaction cannot be adequately achieved
and/or tested using a nuclear densometer.
Our design assumes that the excavated soils at the native, cut slopes generally consist of firm,
inorganic silt/clayey silts with an approximate unit weight of 120 pcf and an intemal friction
Diversified Construction
June 21, 2004
Page 4
angle of 34 degrees and an allowable bearing pressure of 2,000 psf (average) with a friction
factor of 0.5. Site visit(s) during excavation and construction of the boulder walls are strongly
advised to confirm the subsurface soil conditions in order to validate the boulder wall designs
contained herein.
Our design also assumes that the boulder retaining wall will not be surcharged by the presence of
nearby elevated footings and/or concrete slabs /Sport's Courts. If any of these type structures fall
within the zone of influence behind the boulder wall(s), say, within an imaginary slope of 1H:1V
from the inside bottom edge of the boulder wall excavation to the outside edge of any footings
and/or concrete slabs /Sport's Courts, then we recommend that we be allowed to consider the
effect of surcharges on the boulder wall. In addition, a nonwoven geotextile may also be
recommended to separate the fine - grained soils from the drainrock on the faces of the temporary
cut/fill slopes for those critical areas where footings and/or concrete slabs /Sport's Courts may be
present within the boulder wall's zone of influence. We recommend that we be allowed to
consider these aspects in detail for any footings /slabs in near proximity to the boulder walls.
The same recommendations in the previous paragraph should be considered for any traffic
surcharges that may be present above the boulder retaining wall if trucks /cars are present within
the boulder wall's zone of influence.
Boulder Row Construction
The bottom row of stones should be embedded approximately 1 foot, more or less, below lowest
adjacent grade which should be taken as the final grade on the outside portion of the wall. The
subgrade should be excavated using a smooth bucket trackhoe, if at all possible unless hard rock
conditions prevail at subgrade levels, and should be sloped inward and downward slightly (say,
less than five degrees from horizontal) in order to aid to the overall stability of the boulder wall.
The lowest level of stones should be founded on firm, native, approved, inorganic, suitable
subgrade after all the unsuitable fill/topsoil, if any, has been satisfactorily removed. or upon
engineered fill that has been satisfactorily placed, compacted and tested in lifts beginning on an
approved native subgrade. Bench cuts should be excavated in terraced areas where fills will be
placed. The purpose of bench cuts is to "key -in" the new engineered fill to the native soils in
order to promote stability.
A relatively clean, uniform crushed drain -type rock (on the order of 2 to 4- inches in typical
diameter with little, if any, fines) should be used to help "seat" the boulder stones in place and to
backfill between the existing boulder wall and the reinforced section of new boulders. Where

Unanticipated soil conditions are commonly encountered and cannot be fully determined merely
by producing a boulder wall design report without any field explorations. The actual subsurface
conditions may be significantly different than what is assumed herein in this letter report. Such
unexpected conditions frequently require that additional expenditures be made to attain a
--- constructed project: ::Therefore; - a° contingency fund is to- accommodate
such potential extra cost.
Be advised that the Local Governing Agency may sometimes require additional geotechnical or
other studies in order to approve the project as part of the planning approval/building permitting
process. Our Boulder Wall Design Report(s) does not guarantee that the project will be approved
by the Local Governing Agency without these additional studies, if required by the Local
Governing Agency, being performed. Expenses incurred in reliance upon our Report(s) prior to
fmal approval of the Local Goveming Agency are the exclusive responsibility of the Client. In
no event shall West Coast Geotech, Inc., be responsible for any delays in approval which are not
exclusively caused by West Coast Geotech, Inc..
