Subject: Additional Geotechnical Investigation for the Garvey
Avenue Senior Housing and Community Center
The Staff team assigned to the development of the Garvey Avenue Senior
Housing and Community Center has been in the process of reviewing the
final construction plans, making final adjustments to the floor plans and
attempting to evaluate recently adopted changes to the building code.
Additionally, the project architect, Bahr Vermeer Haecker, has been
working with two construction companies to secure a cost estimate for the
project. This construction estimate will be complete within two weeks.
Background
One of the issues that has received some attention from City staff has
been the condition of the site. As the Agency Board members are aware,
the project site is a difficult site not only from access limitations and the
shape of the site but also from the perspective of the un-compacted fill
placed at the site in prior years. In discussing the proposed dcVeiopmeiiL
with those involved with the design of the project, we believe that it would
be prudent to have an independent engineer conduct additional borings
on the site and to provide recommendations on geotechnical engineering
matters.
Although this independent engineer would not become the Engineer of
Record for the project, the expense of this additional investigation is
modest and it serves as low cost insurance for the. anticipated $10 million
project and the effort will provide additional information on a component
of the project that represents a construction risk. To this end, BVH and
GRC secured bids from two soils engineering firms and recommends that
the City contract with Jerry Kovacs and Associates for this additional
work. Their bid was for $7,500 plus $2,000 for an optional test for
liquefaction potential if this test is warranted. A copy of their proposal is
attached to this report. The second bidder was Law Crandle that
suggested only a slightly different scope but requested a budget more
than twice that of the recommended firm (proposal also attached).

We are hopeful that this additional report will result in no changes to the
project, but we would feel much more secure with the design and the site
by having a third party review.
Recommendation
GRC recommends that the. Agency Board authorize the Executive
Director to enter into a contract with Jerry Kovacs and Associates
pursuant to their proposal.

Subiect: Proposal to Perform a Geotechnical Engineering Investigation
Proposed Senior Housing and Community Center Development
Garvey Avenue, West of Rio Hondo Channel, Rosemead, California
Ladies and Gentlemen:
1.0 INTRODUCTION
In accordance with the request for proposal dated November 9, 1999, Jerry Kovacs and Associates,
Inc. has prepared this proposal to provide a geotechnical engineering investigation on the subject
property. This proposal follows review of pertinent geologic literature, and review of our files. A
preliminary plan of the proposed project has not been provided to this firm at this time.
2.0 PROJECT SCOPE -
The project consists of 72 unit senior housing and community center project. The structures are
anticipated to be of Type V construction and up to 4 stories. Column loads for the buildings are
estimated to be between 100 and 300 kips. Wall loads are estimated to be between 2 and 4 kips per
linear foot. Grading is expected to consist of removal and recompaction of existing unsuitable soils.
3.0 ANTICIPATED SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Jerry Kovacs and Associates has over 28 years of experience performing geotechnical services for
projects similar to this one. As part of the preparation of this proposal, files on projects performed
November 24, 1999
PR 99269-H
Page 2
in the vicinity of the subject site have been reviewed. Jerry Kovacs and Associates has provided
geotechnical services at the following sites:
• Northwest Comer Montebello and Paramount Boulevards
2616 Walnut Grove Street
1521 Chico Street
705 North Sixth Street
The results of past exploration indicate that the soils consist of silty sands and sands which are of
moderate strength and expansion potential. It has been reported that the site is underlain by deep
uncertified fill deposits. Groundwater is known to occur at shallow depths throughout this region.
Preliminary review of pertinent geologic literature indicates that the proposed site is not underlain
by any known faults. Fault rupture occurring across the footprint of the proposed facility is
considered remote.
The site is located in an area designated as "Liquefiable" by the Los Angeles County Safety Element,
Leighton, 1990. The 1997 Uniform Building Code requires a boring to a minimum depth of 50 feet
to assess liquefaction potential.
4.0 SCOPE OF EMPLOYMENT - GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING
4.1 Field Exploration
It is proposed to perform the geotechnical exploration of the site with the aid of a truck-mounted
rotary drilling machine. Eight borings are planned. The borings will be excavated to depths ranging
between 30 and 50 feet below the existing ground surface in accordance with the 1997 Uniform
Building Code requirements for liquefaction analysis.
Prior to commencing exploration, the locations of the borings will be marked and coordinated with
the City of Rosemead and Underground Service Alert to locate underground utilities in the vicinity
of the proposed borings.

During excavation of the geotechnical borings, subsurface conditions will be observed and noted on
the boring logs. Any suspicious odors or discoloration will also be noted. The earth materials
encountered will be visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System
(ASTM D 2487). Generally, undisturbed and bulk samples of the earth materials encountered in the
borings will be collected at 5-foot intervals and conveyed to the laboratory for testing and analysis.
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) sampling will be performed within the granular, cohesionless soils
located beneath the groundwater level.
Should any potential contaminants or hazardous materials be detected or observed during exploration
of the geotechnical borings, the spoils will be placed in drums and the borings backfilled with a
bentonite-sand mixture. The costs associated with the drums and the bentonite backfill materials are
not included in the fee indicated below. The drums full of spoils will require environmental testing
and may require disposal at a specialized landfill. Testing and disposal of these materials are not the
responsibility of this firm.
4.2 Laboratory Testing
Engineering laboratory testing of undisturbed and bulk soil samples collected in the field will be
performed in our laboratory. The types of engineering hbc, ator; tests to be performed is anticipated
to be as follows:
• Moisture content and dry density
• Consolidation
• Direct Shears (Saturated and Field Moisture)
• Grain-size Analysis
• Atterberg Limits
Maximum density determination
• Expansion Index determination
For testing of corrosivity, bulk samples of representative soils are be transported to the laboratory
at M.J. Schiff and Associates, Inc. Testing of the soils will include pH levels, resistivity, sulfate
content, chloride content, and other major anions and cations. Evaluation of the corrosion character
of the site soils will be provided along with recommendations addressing corrosion protection
systems and their design lives based on the results of the testing.

Law/Crandall Proposal 99-00693.131
Dear Mr. Copenhaver
We appreciate your request dated November 9, 1999 to submit a proposal to perform a
geotechnical investigation of the site of the proposed Garvey Avenue senior housing and
community center in Rosemead, California. You have furnished us with plans for the project, and
we are familiar with the soil and groundwater conditions in the vicinity of the site of the proposed
development.
This proposal includes a description of the proposed project, our scope of services, a schedule, and
a lump-sum fee, and has been tailored to meet the needs of the project and fulfill the requirements
of the modified AIA Document G602. A copy of he modified document is attached.
A geotechnical investigation of the site was performed by Sladden Engineering and the results of
the investigation was submitted in a report dated May 1, 1997. Although we were provided with a
copy of the report, our investigation will be comprehensive as if no prior geotechnical investigation
was performed at the site.
Relevant Experience
As previously stated, we are familiar with the soil and groundwater conditions in the vicinity of the
site having performed geotechnical investigations of the sites of the following projects located near
the subject site:

1974 (our Job No. A-73237-B).
Our experience in the vicinity of the subject project site and with similar projects was used to the
extent possible in developing the scope of our proposed investigation.
Project Information and Site Conditions
The proposed development will consist of a four-story senior housing building and a single story
community center building. The community center building will have a partial basement. The
senior housing building will be of wood frame construction and the community center will be of
wood frame and/or masonry construction with reinforced concrete basement walls. Foundation
loads are expected to be relatively light. in addition to the proposed building, site improvements
will include landscaped areas and paved parking lots and driveways.
The site of the proposed development is vacant and surrounded by a chain-link fence. The ground
surface at the site is relatively level and covered with sparse grass, weeds and scattered debris. The
Rio Hondo Channel forms the eastern edge of the site. The channel is lined and is about 15 feet
deep.
The site is underlain by artificial fill soils that were not properly compacted during placement. The
fill soils could extend 10 to 15 feet below the existing grade.
Proposed Services
We propose to perform subsurface explorations, laboratory testing, and engineering analyses to
provide recommendations for design of foundations and walls below grade, for floor slab support,
and for earthwork. Our services will consist of the following main tasks:
o„•.,
Subsurface explorations to determine the nature and stratigraphy of the
subsurface soils, and to obtain undisturbed and bulk samples for laboratory
observation and testing.
e A limited geologic-seismic hazard evaluation.
City of Rosemead-Georechnical Investigation
Law/Crandall Proposal 99-00693.131
November 22. 1999
• Laboratory testing of soil samples for determination of the static physical soil
properties.
• Corrosion studies to determine the presence of potentially corrosive soils, if
authorized.
• Engineering evaluation of the geotechnical data to develop recommendations
for design of foundations and walls below grade, for floor slab support, and for
earthwork for the proposed development.
The current Uniform Building Code (UBC) requires that the geotechnical report for a site include
an evaluation of the potential for liquefaction and soil strength loss at the site during a site-specific
earthquake. Based on current practices in geotechnical engineering, the presence of liquefiable
soils within a depth of 50 feet beneath a building site, with the water table above the 50-foot depth,
will have adverse structural effects on the proposed development, and the evaluation of the
liquefaction potential becomes more critical.
Based on the results of our prior investigations in the vicinity of the subject site and on information
available in our files, the historical water level at the site is expected to be less than 30 feet below
the existing grade and the granular soils underlying the site below the historical water level may be
subject to liquefaction as a result of a major earthquake near the site. We will evaluate the
liquefaction potential of the soils underlying the site and present mitigation measures for
minimizing the adverse structural effects of the probable liquefaction induced settlements on the
proposed development.
A more complete description of the methodology to perform the required tasks is presented in the
following sections.
Subsurface Explorations
Before starting our exploration program, we will conduct a field reconnaissance to observe site
conditions and mark the locations of our planned explorations. As required by the state of
California, we will also notify Underground Service Alert of the locations of our planned
explorations prior to drilling.
"c propose to explore the site by drilling 9 borings using truck-mounted bucket-type and
hollow-stem auger drilling equipment. Three borings will be drilled to depths of 15 feet and five
horin_s to depths of 30 feet using bucket-type-drilling equipment. In addition, one boring will be
dril led to depths of 60 feet using hollow-stem auger drilling equipment. This boring will be used to
measure the groundwater level and to obtain undisturbed deep soil samples in case the liquefaction
induced settlements are high and deep foundations are required to support the buildings. The
borings will be drilled under the observation of our field technician, who will log the subsurface
conditions encountered and obtain undisturbed and bulk samples for laboratory inspection and
testing.
To evaluate the liquefaction potential of the soils underlying the site, we will perform standard
penetration tests (SPTs) in the 60-foot deep boring. We will also obtain bulk samples of the upper
soils.

City ofRocemead-Geolechnical lnves6garion November 2, 1999
LowlGnndall Proposal 99-00693.131 ,
To supplement data obtained from the borings, and to perform a liquefaction and seismic-induced
settlement study, we will retain Gregg In Situ, Inc. to perform cone penetrometer tests (CPTs) to a
depth of 60 feet at a location near the deeper boring. We will also correlate the SPTs data obtained
from our deeper boring with data obtained from the CPTs for evaluation of liquefaction potential.
We will conduct all drilling and sampling in general accordance with the applicable ASTM
standards. At the completion of the drilling, we will transport all samples to our laboratory where
they will be examined by one of our engineers and visually classified according to the Unified Soil
Classification System.
The health and safety of our personnel require that we be aware of any environmental
contamination present on the property. Accordingly, we need to be provided with any reports on
the presence of such contaminants. If evidence of such materials is encountered during the course
of our investigation, we must stop our investigation and contact you to determine the appropriate
course of action. Delays and increased costs caused by such actions are not within the scope of our
investigation.
Limited Geologic-Seismic Evaluation
We will perform a limited geologic-seismic hazards evaluation to define the geologic environment
and evaluate geologic-seismic hazards that may effect the site. The evaluation is to be used as a
reference source for the future environmental impact report. Using available geologic data, we will
develop information on the general geologic and groundwater conditions beneath the site and the
locations of nearby active and potentially active faults. The study will address the potential for
primary earthquake hazards (ground shaking and surface rupture) and secondary earthquake
hazards (liquefaction, seismic settlement, seiches, earthquake-induced landsliding, and lurching)
impacting the site. We will also discuss the impact of the hazards of landsliding, flooding, and
subsidence.
Laboratorv Testing
Our engineer will select samples for laboratory testing to determine the pertinent static physical
characteristics of the soils. The data obtained will be used in the necessary engineering analyses.
The laboratory tests will include:
• In-place moisture content and dry density determination tests for each
undisturbed sample.
• Sieve analyses for grain size distribution and soil classification.
• Direct shear tests on undisturbed samples and, if'appropriate, on remolded
samples to determine the shear strength of the materials.
• Consolidation tests to determine the compressibility of the materials.
• Expansion Index tests to determine the expansion potential of the upper soils.
City of Rosemead-Geotechnical lnvestigalion November??, 1999
Law/Crandall Proposal 99-00693.131
• Compaction tests for use in preparing earthwork recommendations.
• California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests for use in developing paving
recommendations.
Corrosion Studv
We will retain M. J. Schiff & Associates, Inc., Consulting Corrosion Engineers, to determine the
corrosion potential of the on-site soils and the effect of the soils on underground metal piping,
elevator shafts, and portland cement concrete. (This service will not include corrosion protection
consultation during design; if needed, such design should be contracted directly with M. J. Schiff &
Associates, Inc.)
Eneineerine Analyses and Report
The results of our subsurface explorations and laboratory tests will be evaluated, and engineering
analyses will be performed to develop recommendations for design of foundations and walls below
grade, for floor slab support, and for earthwork.
We will prepare a geotechnical report summarizing the data collected and presenting our design
recommendations. The report will include:
• Results of the subsurface explorations and laboratory tests, with a description
of the soil and groundwater conditions encountered.
• Results of the geologic-seismic evaluation.
• Evaluation of the liquefaction potential of the soils underlying the site.
• Recommendations for design of foundations to be used for support of the
proposed development, including allowable increase for wind or seismic loads.
• Estimated settlements for the anticipated loadings.
• Recommendations regarding frictional and passive values for the resistance of
lateral forces.
• A determination of the applicable site coefficient and seismic zonation based
on the current Uniform Building Code.
• Recommendations for design of walls below grade and retaining walls.
• Recommendations for design of shoring, if required.
• Recommendations for earthwork, including site preparation, excavation, and
the placing of any required compacted fill.
