93 Pine Street
Edmonds, Washington 98020
City of Edmonds Permit # BLD2021-0819
Dear Ms. Carter,
Zipper Geo Associates, LLC (ZGA) provided geotechnical construction observation services for the Point
Edwards Condominium's Building 61 Pedestrian Bridge Abutment Foundation Repair Project located at 93
Pine Street in Edmonds, Washington. Our site observations and recommendations have been summarized
in Daily Field Reports (DFRs) 1 through 7, which have been transmitted to you, the structural engineer, and
the contractor over the course of the construction. ZGA was designated geotechnical "special inspector"
by the City of Edmonds in an undated Special Inspection and Testing Agreement letter. Our responsibilities
included:
• Monitor Driven Pipe Pile Installations - ZGA monitored the installation of all six production pipe
piles. Pile and pile bracket components were observed to be in general accordance with the project
plans and alternates approved by the structural engineer. The pipe piles were installed to relatively
consistent depth and refusal values.
• Monitor Pile Load Test - One production pile was load tested to 200 percent of the design load in
general accordance with ASTM D 1143-07. The test pile appeared to be representative of the other
production piles and suitable for load testing, in our opinion. Test results indicated an ultimate
capacity of at least twice the design load in accordance with project requirements. Based on our
installation observations and the results of the load test, it is our opinion that the production pipe
piles have been installed in general accordance with the approved plans and are adequate to
support the design axial compressive load.
• Monitor Pile Bracket and Adhesive Anchor Bolt Installation - ZGA monitored the installation of the
adhesive anchor bolts and brackets for all six piles. The anchor bolts and brackets were installed in
general accordance with the manufacturer's directions, the project plans, and recommendations
of the project structural engineer.

• Monitor Corrosion Protection Coating Installation - ZGA observed that the pile brackets and the
exposed portions of the anchor bolts were covered with an approved corrosion protection coating
of asphalt emulsion. Based on our observations, the corrosion protection coating installation
appeared to be in general accordance with the approved plans.
Based upon our observations, the contractor completed the tasks described in the City approved plans
under City of Edmonds Permit No. BLD2021-0819 and also implemented recommendations made by the
project geotechnical engineer and structural engineer during construction which reflected field -
adjustments to meet site conditions.

We visited the site at 8:30 am at the request of the contractor and on behalf of the owner to observe the installation of
project pin piles. A summary of our observations, recommendations, and conclusions is presented below.
Upon arrival, we observed that the earthwork contractor Waeco Construction LLC had cored four 4-inch diameter holes
through the concrete/footings at the pin pile locations for Building 61 as shown on the approved plans.
The piling subcontractor Seattle Foundation Repair arrived on site at approximately 9:30 am. Only one employee with
Seattle Foundation Repair had arrived at that time and delivered to the site the drive hammer to install the pin piles. The
piling contractor representative indicated that the pile material and other supplies needed to install the pin piles would
be delivered to the site later in the morning.
We remained onsite at the request of the contractor until the pin pile material arrived onsite at approximately 11:15 am.
We observed that the piling contractor had delivered to the site 3-inch diameter non -galvanized pin pile material, which
does not meet project specifications per sheet S1.0, 3" Pipe Piling section of the approved plans. We informed the
subcontractors and site superintendent Daniel Jenkins with Charter Construction of our observations and incorrect piling
material and recommended that the material that was delivered to the site not be used for the project. We also indicated
to the general contractor and subcontractor's that piling for the project should consist of 3-inch diameter, extra strong,
ASTM A53, Grade B, 35,000 psi strength, hot dipped galvanized steel per project plans and specification. Additionally, we
recommended that pile couplers, if used between successive pile sections, also be hot dip galvanized.
Mr. Jenkins with Charter Construction indicated that he would contact ZGA if the appropriate piling material could be
acquired by the subcontractor and would schedule ZGA for special inspection when that occurs.

We visited the project site at 11:40 am at the request of the contractor and on behalf of the owner to observe the
installation of pipe piles. A summary of our observations, recommendations, and conclusions is presented below.
Upon arrival, we observed that the earthwork contractor Waeco Construction LLC had cored two additional 4-inch
diameter holes through the Building 61 abutment concrete footings at the approximate pipe pile locations shown on the
revised plans dated 1/24/22 (pin pile locations P3 and P6 shown on the enclosed Figure 1).
The approved plans indicate that pipe piles shall be driven to substantial refusal with a 350-pound rated hammer (actual
hammer weight 400 pounds), with refusal defined as less than 1 inch of penetration for 30 seconds of driving. The pile
contractor Seattle Foundation Repair (SFR) indicated that the hammer delivered to the site was a 900-pound hammer and
not a 350-pound hammer. The hammer weight was not indicated on the equipment and SFR had no supporting
documentation on site. SFR asked ZGA what the refusal criteria was for a 900-pound hammer. We informed SFR that it
was the contractor's responsibility to install the piles to an allowable design axial capacity of 12 kips per pile in accordance
with the approved plans and that refusal can vary based on equipment used and its efficiency. Ultimately, the capacity of
the piles will need to be verified by the contractor via load testing in accordance with the approved plans. We informed
SFR that in our experience other contractors have used a refusal criteria of less that 1 inch of penetration in 10 seconds of
driving with an 850-pound hammer for 3-inch pipes with a 12 kip allowable capacity. SFR elected to use a refusal criteria
of 1 inch or less of penetration during 15 seconds of driving with the onsite hammer reportedly rated at 900-pounds.
We observed SFR drive three piles to the refusal criteria of less than 1 inch of penetration during 15 seconds of driving
with the hammer reportedly rated at 900-pounds. Pile locations, drive depths, and penetration rates at refusal are
presented in the table below.

SFR used 10-foot sections of 3-inch diameter, Schedule 40, Grade A, galvanized steel pipe based on manufacturer stamps
on the pipe. Galvanized steel compression couples were used to joint pipe sections.
While onsite we observed the SFR planned to use Simpson Strong -Tie SET-XP epoxy for the pile bracket anchor bolts and
that this material did not match the plan specifications, which require Simpson Strong -Tie AT-XP. We later spoke with the
project structural engineer Mr. Kyle Bozick about this change, and Mr. Bozick indicated that SET-XP was not an approved
substitution. We also spoke with Mr. Bozick about SFR's plan to react against the existing pedestrian bridge abutment for
the load test using 5/8x4 SB+ bolts to attach the load test bracket to the foundation. Mr. Bozick indicated that PET has not
completed engineering calculations for the referenced 5/8-inch bolts and recommended that the load test setup use the
plan specified % inch epoxied tread bar.

We visited the project site at 8:00 am at the request of the contractor and on behalf of the owner to monitor a load test
on pile P3. A summary of our observations, recommendations, and conclusions is presented below.
Pile Load Test
Upon arrival, we observed that Seattle Foundation Repair (SFR) was setting up to complete a load test on pile P3 (pile
location shown in Figure 1 of this report). Pile P3 was driven to a refusal criteria of less than one inch of penetration during
15 seconds of sustained driving with a 900 pound hammer and to a depth of about 18.3 feet below the top of the
foundation. Based on our pile installation observations, it is our opinion that pile p3 is representative of the other Building
61 abutment piles and is suitable for pile load testing.
SFR used a Power Team cylinder and pump with a Wika pressure gauge that had current calibration results and matching
certificate numbers of 359828381 by Jacking Solutions. SFR used a production bracket and four % inch epoxied bolts to
secure the bracket to the pedestrian bridge for the load test. SFR set up a dial gauge that was mounted on a support that
wis independent of the test pile and abutment. A pressure gauge was placed in line to the cylinder to read the pressure
that the cylinder. A laser level was used to monitor the abutment foundation for possible movement during the load test.
Pile P3 was loaded in 25 percent increments to a maximum test load at 200 percent of the design load (12 kip allowable
design Load) in general accordance with the Standard Test Method for Piles under Static Axial Compressive load, Quick
Load Test Method for Individual Piles (ASTM D1143). Recorded pile displacement at 100 and 200 percent of the design
load were 0.065 and 0.126 inches, respectively. No movement of the abutment was observed during the load test. Pile
acceptance was determined in accordance with Figure 6 of the Navel Facility Engineering Command Foundations & Earth
Structures, Design Manual 7.02. Based on our pile installation observations and the load test results, it is our opinion that
piles P1 through P6 at the abutment for Building 61 are adequate to support the allowable design load of 12 kips per pile
with a safety factor of at least 2.

We visited the project site at 11:00 am at the request of the contractor and on behalf of the owner to monitor the
installation of adhesive anchor bolts for the pile brackets at the Building 61 pedestrian bridge abutment. A summary of
our observations, recommendations, and conclusions is presented below.
Pile Brackets
Pile brackets consisted of 5/8-inch steel plate with %-inch fillet welds. The brackets were coated with a galvanized spray
paint. The brackets appeared to be in general accordance with the PET approved submittal. We understand that the
brackets will be painted with coal tar pitch after the anchor bold adhesive has cured and the anchor bolts have been
tightened.
Anchor Bolts
Upon arrival, we observed that the contractor had shifted the bracket locations vertically by about 3 to 12 inches and
drilled new anchor holes. The new anchor holes were drilled with a 13/16-inch bit in accordance with the manufacturer's
directions for the project specified Simpson Strong Tie AT-XP acrylic adhesive. We checked the expiration date of the
onsite AT-XP adhesive. The onsite adhesive was within the expiration dates, which ranged from February to March of
2023. The AT-XP adhesive tubes and the concrete substrate both ranged from about 42 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit. This is
within the manufacture's allowable installation and curing limits for AT-XP adhesive.
The project plans require a minimum anchor embedment depth of 5% inches. Measured anchor hole depths ranged from
4% to 6 inches in depth. The contractor indicated that they could not drill deeper due to refusal on rebar. We contacted
the project structural engineer Pacific Engineering Technologies (PET) and inquired if the reduced embedment depths
were adequate. PET indicated that the increased number of piles resulted in a reduced capacity per pile and that a
minimum anchor embedment of 4% inches was acceptable provided the average anchor embedment depth per bracket
was at least 5 inches. Based on our field measurements, the anchor holes for 5 of the 6 brackets met the revised criteria.
The bracket for pile P4 (the southernmost pile on the west side of the abutment) did not meet the embedment criteria
and had anchor embedment depths of about 4%, 4, 4%, and 3% inches. The anchor holes met the manufactures minimum
required anchor to anchor spacing and critical edge distance criteria. For the pile P4 bracket, we recommended that the
contractor increase the anchor embedment's or submit an alternate anchor system to the structural engineer for approval.

We observed the contractor clean and install the bracket anchors for piles P1, P2, P3, P5, and P6. We observed the
contractor clean each anchor hole with a combination of compressed air and a nylon brush in accordance with the
manufacturer's directions. The contractor then applied Simpson AT-XP acrylic adhesive using the Simpson piston plug
system and %-inch diameter galvanized thread bar in general accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations for
horizontal installations. We understand that the contractor will fix the anchor embedment depths for the pile P4 bracket
and reschedule ZGA to monitor its installation at a later time.

visit on February 4, 202 we had noted that the anchor holes for this bracket were shorted than required and recommended
that they be deepened prior to anchor installation. A summary of our observations, recommendations, and conclusions is
presented below.
Anchor Bolts for Pile P4
Upon arrival, we observed that the contractor had deepened the new anchor holes to allow for at lest 5 % inches of
embedment for the anchors in accordance with the project plans. The new anchor holes were drilled with a 13/16-inch
bit in accordance with the manufacturer's directions for the project specified Simpson Strong Tie AT-XP acrylic adhesive.
We checked the expiration date of the onsite AT-XP adhesive. The onsite adhesive was within the expiration date of March
23, 2023. The AT-XP adhesive tubes and the concrete substrate both ranged from about 43 to 46 degrees Fahrenheit. This
is within the manufacture's allowable installation and curing limits for AT-XP adhesive. The anchor holes met the
manufactures minimum required anchor to anchor spacing and critical edge distance criteria.
We observed the contractor install the bracket anchors for pile P4. We observed the contractor clean and prepare each
of the four anchor holes then apply Simpson AT-XP acrylic adhesive using the Simpson piston plug system and %-inch
diameter galvanized thread bar in general accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations for horizontal
installations.

after the anchor adhesive had cured in accordance with the manufacturer's directions. We observed that all six pile
brackets and mounting bolts had been painted with Henry Asphalt Emulsion Sealer and Dampproffer in accordance with
the plans and specifications.
Pile Grouting
We observed that Waeco had grouted the annular space between piles and the holes cored through the concrete footing
for the abutment in general accordance with the project plans.
