Based on the preliminary plans, the existing amenities proposed to be removed include picnic tables, benches, barbecue pits, and non-ADA compliant pedestrian flatwork. Proposed improvements consist of new ADA compliant pedestrian flatwork, new picnic tables, new barbecue pits, new benches, concrete chess tables, bocce ball courts, and shade structures. We understand the new miscellaneous structures, such as the new benches and tables, as well as the new shade structures will be supported by conventional shallow foundations on slabs. We have provided separate shallow foundation recommendations for the miscellaneous structures and the shade structures. Dead plus live column loads were not provided for the shade structures but are anticipated to be on the order of 500 psf. Site improvements will include Portland cement concrete (PCC), exterior flatwork, and landscaping. No stormwater control measures (SCMs), basements, retaining walls or subterranean structures are anticipated. The site is located at the approximate coordinates of latitude 35.2789N and longitude 120.6574W, which were obtained from the Google Earth Website (Google Earth 2023). The site is relatively flat. The site is surrounded by Santa Rosa Street to the northeast and Buchon Street to the south. 2.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES The authorized scope of work included a general site reconnaissance, field exploration, geotechnical analysis of the data gathered, and preparation of this report. The analysis and subsequent recommendations were based on verbal information and a general project location plan provided by the client. This report and recommendations are intended to comply with the considerations of Sections 1803.1 through 1803.6, J104.3 and J104.4, as applicable, of the 2022 California Building Code (CBC) and common geotechnical engineering practice in this area under similar conditions at this time. The test procedures were accomplished in general conformance with the standards noted, as modified by common geotechnical engineering practice in this area under similar conditions at this time. Mitchell Park Revitalization Project May 24, 2023 San Luis Obispo, California 305893-001 2 2304-009.SER Preliminary geotechnical engineering recommendations for site preparation, grading, foundations, flatwork, PCC pavement, drainage and maintenance, and observation and testing are presented to guide the development of project plans and specifications. As there may be geotechnical issues yet to be resolved, the geotechnical engineer should be retained to provide consultation as the design progresses. It may also be advantageous to retain the geotechnical engineer to review project plans as they near completion to assist in verifying that pertinent geotechnical issues have been addressed and to aid in conformance with the intent of this report. It is our intent that this report be used exclusively by the client to form the geotechnical basis of the design of the project and in the preparation of plans and specifications. Application beyond this intent is strictly at the user’s risk. This report does not address issues in the domain of contractors such as, but not limited to, site safety, loss of volume due to stripping of the site, shrinkage of soils during compaction, excavatability, dewatering, temporary slope angles, construction means and methods, etc. Analyses of aerial or site geology, or of the soil for corrosivity, radioisotopes, asbestos (either naturally occurring or in man-made products), lead or mold potential, hydrocarbons, or chemical properties is beyond the scope of this report. Any ancillary features such as flag or light poles, temporary access roads, retaining walls, non-structural fills, and vehicular pavements are not within our scope and are also not addressed. Design and/or suitability of LID features such as retention basins, bio swales, or other improvements are also beyond our scope. In the event that there are any changes in the nature, design, or location of improvements, or if any assumptions used in the preparation of this report prove to be incorrect, the conclusions and recommendations contained in this report shall not be considered valid unless the changes are reviewed and the conclusions of this report modified or verified by the geotechnical engineer in writing. The criteria presented in this report are considered preliminary until such time as any peer review or review by any jurisdiction has been completed, conditions have been observed by the geotechnical engineer in the field during construction, and the recommendations have been verified as appropriate, or modified by the geotechnical engineer in writing. 3.0 FIELD INVESTIGATION AND LABORATORY ANALYSIS On March 22, 2023, two exploratory boring was drilled on site to depths ranging from approximately 11.5 feet and 16.5 feet below the existing ground surface (bgs). The borings were drilled with a truck-mounted SIMCO EP200 drill rig equipped with a 4-inch outside diameter solid Mitchell Park Revitalization Project May 24, 2023 San Luis Obispo, California 305893-001 3 2304-009.SER stem auger and an automatic hammer for sampling. As the borings were advanced, soil samples were obtained using a 3-inch outside diameter ring-lined barrel sampler (ASTM D 3550-17 with shoe similar to ASTM D 2937-17). Bulk samples were also obtained from the auger cuttings. The approximate locations of the borings are shown on Figure 2 – Exploration Location Map in Appendix A. Soils encountered in the borings were categorized and logged in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System and ASTM D 2488-17. Logs of the borings are presented in Appendix A, along with a Boring Log Legend. In reviewing the boring logs and legend, the reader should recognize that the legend is intended as a guideline only, and there are a number of conditions that may influence the characteristics observed during drilling. These include, but are not limited to, the presence of cobbles or boulders, cementation, variations in soil moisture, presence of groundwater, and other factors. Consequently, the logger must exercise judgment in interpreting soil characteristics, possibly resulting in soil descriptions that vary from the legend. Selected samples were tested in our laboratory to determine maximum density and optimum moisture content (ASTM D 1557-12, modified), expansion index (ASTM D 4829-11), bulk density (ASTM D 2937-17, modified for ring liners), moisture content (ASTM D 2216-10), and cohesion and angle of internal friction by direct shear (ASTM D 3080/D 3080M-11). The results of the laboratory tests are presented in Appendix B. 4.0 GENERAL SUBSURFACE The subsurface profiles found in the exploratory borings consisted of alluvium, which extended to the maximum depth explored of 16.5 feet bgs. The alluvial soils consisted of lean clay, poorly graded sand, clayey sand, and silty sand. The clay had a medium stiff consistency, and the sands were loose. These materials were logged as very moist and wet. Groundwater was encountered at 12.5 feet bgs. Please refer to the boring logs in Appendix A for a more complete description of the subsurface conditions encountered at the site. 5.0 CONCLUSIONS In our opinion, the site is suitable, from a geotechnical engineering standpoint, for the proposed project, provided the recommendations contained herein are implemented in the design and construction. From a geotechnical engineering standpoint, the primary concerns at the site are the potentials for strong ground shaking and the presence of expansive surficial soils. The potential for liquefaction is also discussed below. Mitchell Park Revitalization Project May 24, 2023 San Luis Obispo, California 305893-001 4 2304-009.SER Potential Strong Ground Shaking The site is in a region of high seismic activity with the potential for large seismic events that could generate strong ground shaking. The CBC requires that seismic loads be considered in structural design. A seismic analysis was undertaken to provide seismic acceleration design parameters; the results are presented in the “Foundations” section of this report for use by others in the structural design process. The 2010 ASCE 7 method with 2013 updates available on the Structural Engineers Associate of California (SEAOC) Seismic Design Map Tool website (SEAOC, 2023) was used for the seismic analysis. The risk category for buildings and structures is assigned by others in accordance with CBC Table 1604.5; however, based on our current understanding of the project, we selected Risk Category II for our analysis. Based upon the subsurface conditions encountered during our subsurface investigation, Site Class “D,” “Stiff Soil,” was used. A general ground motion seismic analysis was performed, assuming that Exception 2 listed in Section 11.4.8 (ASCE, 2017) will apply to the project. We also provided seismic parameters if the Simplified Lateral Force Analysis Procedure from Section 12.14.8 (ASCE, 2017) will be used in structural design. Presence of Expansive Surficial Soils An expansion index test performed on a sample of the near surface soils produced an expansion index of 65. Per Section 1803.5.3 of the 2022 CBC, soils are considered to be non-expansive for expansion index values of 20 or less and expansive for values greater than 20. Using the terminology typically associated with the ASTM test method for expansion, the near-surface soils are considered to have “medium” expansion potential. Expansive soils tend to swell with seasonal increases in moisture and shrink during the dry season as subsurface moisture decreases. The volume changes that these materials undergo in this cyclical pattern can stress and damage slabs and foundations if precautionary measures are not incorporated into the design and construction procedures. Use of slightly deepened foundations combined with moisture control of the soil are recommended to provide protection for these features. Imported non-expansive soils are recommended to be placed beneath interior slabs-on-grade and exterior flatwork. Liquefaction Potential Liquefaction refers to a phenomenon that tends to occur in saturated soils of low density that have grain sizes within a certain range, usually fine- to medium-grained poorly graded sands, silty Mitchell Park Revitalization Project May 24, 2023 San Luis Obispo, California 305893-001 5 2304-009.SER sands, and sandy silts. A sufficiently strong earthquake is also required to cause liquefaction. During liquefaction, the energy from the earthquake causes the water pressure within the pores of the soil to increase. The increase in water pressure decreases the friction between the soil grains, allowing the soil grains to move relative to one another. During this state, the soil will behave as a viscous liquid, temporarily losing its ability to support foundations and other improvements. As the pressure is released, the soils typically settle in a process called “liquefaction settlement.” Liquefaction settlement can cause damage to structures and other surface and subsurface improvements if their potential is not addressed. The soils encountered at the site were classified as lean clay, poorly graded sand, clayey sand, and silty sand. Sandy soils such as those encountered at the site are likely to liquefy if encountered below the groundwater. Groundwater was encountered at a depth of 12.5 feet bgs. According to the County of San Luis Obispo (2013), the site is mapped as being in an area of moderate potential for liquefaction. It is our opinion that there is a very low potential for liquefaction at the project site due to the depth to bedrock encountered and an adjacent site just below the depth explored, and our estimation. The groundwater is perched atop the bedrock due to the heavy rains this winter. 6.0 GEOTECHNICAL RECOMMENDATIONS These recommendations are applicable for the improvements as described in the “Introduction and Site Setting” Section of this report. If other improvements not previously mentioned are included, the geotechnical engineer should be contacted for revised recommendations. Unless otherwise noted, the following definitions are used in the recommendations presented below. Where terms are not defined, definitions commonly used in the construction industry are intended. • Foundation Areas – The areas within the footprints of all conventional shallow (individual spread) foundations. • Miscellaneous Structures – The benches and tables but does not include the shade structures. • Pedestrian Flatwork Areas – The footprint on any PCC flatwork that will accommodate pedestrian foot traffic only. • Grading Area – The entire area to be graded, including the foundation areas, pedestrian flatwork areas, and any other areas to be graded. Mitchell Park Revitalization Project May 24, 2023 San Luis Obispo, California 305893-001 6 2304-009.SER • Subgrade: The elevation of the surface upon which a sand cushion/non-expansive imported material or aggregate base will be placed for flatwork or pavement improvements. • Scarified: Thoroughly plowed or ripped in two orthogonal directions to a depth of not less than 8 inches. • Moisture Conditioned: Soil moisture content adjusted to just above optimum moisture content prior to application of compactive effort. • Compacted / Recompacted: Soils placed in level lifts not exceeding 8 inches in loose thickness and compacted to a minimum of 90 percent of maximum dry density, unless specified otherwise. The standard tests used to establish maximum dry density and field density should be ASTM D 1557-12 and ASTM D 6938-17, respectively, or other methods acceptable to the geotechnical engineer and jurisdiction. Site Preparation 1. The ground surface in the foundation area or foundation area should be prepared for construction by removing the existing flatwork, debris, vegetation and other deleterious materials. Existing utility lines that will not remain in service should be either removed or abandoned. The appropriate method of abandonment will depend upon the type and depth of the utility. Recommendations for abandonment can be made as necessary. 2. Voids created by the removal of materials or utilities described above should be called to the attention of the geotechnical engineer. No fill should be placed unless the underlying soil has been observed by the geotechnical engineer. Grading Foundation Areas 1. Following site preparation, soils within the foundation areas should be removed to a level plane at a minimum depth of the planned bottom-of-footing elevation. The exposed surfaces should then be scarified, moisture conditioned and recompacted. Pedestrian Flatwork Areas 2. The soil in the exterior pedestrian flatwork areas should be overexcavated to a minimum depth of 2 foot below planned finished surface elevation. The soil surface exposed by Mitchell Park Revitalization Project May 24, 2023 San Luis Obispo, California 305893-001 7 2304-009.SER overexcavation should be scarified, moisture conditioned, and recompacted. Imported non-expansive soil should then be placed in compacted lifts to subgrade elevation. Once subgrade is established and compacted, the placement, moisture conditioning, and compaction of aggregate base and any non-expansive soil can proceed. Non-expansive material is described below in paragraph 3. 3. Non-expansive soils are defined as falling into the GP, GW, GM, GC, SM, SC, SP, or SW categories (ASTM D 2487-17) and having an expansion index of 10 or less (ASTM D 4829- 21). Imported non-expansive soils used in the flatwork areas should have strength qualities equal to or better than the site soils. All proposed imported fill should be approved by the geotechnical engineer before being transported to the site and periodically during construction. Grading – General 4. In the remainder of the grading area, prior to placement of fill or filling excavations to grade, the existing or excavated soil surfaces should be scarified, moisture conditioned, and recompacted. 5. Voids created by dislodging rocks and/or debris during scarification should be backfilled and compacted, and the dislodged materials should be removed from the work area. 6. All materials used as fill should be cleaned of all debris and any rocks larger than 6 inches in maximum dimension. When fill material includes rocks, the rocks should be placed in a sufficient soil matrix to ensure that voids caused by nesting of the rocks will not occur and that the fill can be properly compacted. 7. If the soils become unstable, or if the recommended compaction cannot be readily achieved, drying the soil to just above optimum moisture content may be necessary. Placement of gravel layers or geotextiles may also be necessary to help stabilize unstable soils. If such conditions are found, the geotechnical engineer should be contacted to assist the contractor in selecting appropriate measures for stabilization of unstable soils. 8. The recommended soil moisture content should be maintained during construction and throughout the life of the project. Failure to maintain the soil moisture content can result in cracks and disturbance, which are an indication of degradation of the soil compaction. If cracks are allowed to develop, or if soils near improvements such as foundations, Mitchell Park Revitalization Project May 24, 2023 San Luis Obispo, California 305893-001 8 2304-009.SER flatwork, pavement, curbs, etc. are otherwise disturbed, damage to those improvements may result. Soils that have been or are otherwise disturbed should be removed, moisture conditioned, and compacted. Foundations Miscellaneous Structures 1. Conventional shallow continuous and spread footings may be used to support the proposed miscellaneous structures. The footing excavations should be constructed with minimum depths of 18 inches below the lowest adjacent grade. Footing excavations should be cut neat and horizontal. Alternately, minimum 6 inch core concrete mat slab. 2. Continuous footings should be reinforced as required by the architect/engineer; minimum reinforcement should consist of one No. 4 rebar top and bottom. Spread footings should be reinforced in accordance with the requirements of the architect/engineer. 3. Footings bearing into firm compacted soils may be designed using maximum allowable bearing capacities of 1,000 psf for dead loads and 1,500 psf for dead plus live loads. Using these criteria, maximum settlement is expected to be less than 1 inch. Shade Structures 4. Conventional shallow continuous and spread footings may be used to support the proposed shade structures. The footing excavations should be constructed with minimum depths of 21 inches below the lowest adjacent firm soil grade. Footing excavations should be cut neat and horizontal. 5. Continuous footings should be reinforced as required by the architect/engineer; minimum reinforcement should consist of one No. 4 rebar top and bottom. Spread footings should be reinforced in accordance with the requirements of the architect/engineer. 6. Footings bearing into native soils may be designed using maximum allowable bearing capacities of 1,500 psf for dead loads and 2,000 psf for dead plus live loads. Using these criteria, maximum settlement and differential settlement are expected to be less than 1 inch over a horizontal distance of 25 feet. Mitchell Park Revitalization Project May 24, 2023 San Luis Obispo, California 305893-001 9 2304-009.SER General Foundations 7. In calculating resistance to lateral loads, a passive equivalent fluid pressure of 250 pcf in the soil may be used. Coefficient of friction for soil of 0.3 may also be utilized. Lateral capacity is based on the assumption that the soil adjacent to the foundation is undisturbed. In the case of foundations adjacent to native soils, the upper 1 foot and 2 foot should be neglected in the design of the playground/miscellaneous structures and the shade/signage/fencing structures, respectively. Allowable bearing capacities may be increased by one-third when transient loads such as wind or seismicity are included. 8. The seismic acceleration site parameters included in the table below have been provided to the design team for use in its analyses. The 2010 ASCE 7 method with 2013 updates, available on the Structural Engineers Association of California website (SEAOC 2023), was used to obtain the parameters. The project was considered to be a “nonessential” facility from the perspective of risk category as described by the CBC. The site coordinates stated in the “Introduction and Site Setting” section were used in the analysis. Based upon the subsurface conditions encountered during our investigation, the site should be classified as Site Class D (Stiff Soil). Foundations may be designed using the following 2022 CBC seismic parameters. Table 1 – Seismic Acceleration Site Parameters Mapped Spectral Response Accelerations Site Coefficients for Site Class D Adjusted MCE Spectral Response Accelerations for Site Class D Design Spectral Response Accelerations for Site Class D Seismic Parameter Value (g) Site Coefficient Value Seismic Parameter Value (g) Seismic Parameter Value (g) SS 1.067 Fa 1.07 SMS 1.145 SDS 0.764 S1 0.393 Fv 1.91 SM1 0.749 SD1 0.500 Peak Mean Ground Acceleration (PGAm) : 0.533 g Seismic Design Category: D 9. Foundation excavations should be observed by the geotechnical engineer prior to placement of reinforcing steel. Soils in foundation excavations should be moistened to optimum moisture content, or just above, and no desiccation cracks should be present prior to concrete placement. Mitchell Park Revitalization Project May 24, 2023 San Luis Obispo, California 305893-001 10 2304-009.SER Exterior Pedestrian Flatwork 1. PCC pedestrian flatwork should have a minimum thickness of 4 full inches. Reinforcement size, placement, and dowels should be as directed by the architect/engineer; minimum pedestrian flatwork reinforcement should consist of No. 3 rebar placed at 24 inches on- center each way. 2. Where maintaining the elevation of the pedestrian flatwork is critical, the flatwork should be doweled to the perimeter of adjacent improvements, at a minimum, by No. 3 dowels lapped to the flatwork rebar. In other areas, the flatwork may be doweled to the foundation or the flatwork may be allowed to “float free,” at the discretion of the architect/engineer. Flatwork that is intended to float free should be separated from foundations or other improvements by a felt joint or other means. 3. In addition to the placement of non-expansive material in the pedestrian flatwork areas as described in the “Grading” section, another measure that can be taken to reduce the risk of movement of flatwork due to expansive soils is to provide thickened edges or grade beams around the perimeters of the flatwork. The thickened edges or grade beams could be from 12 to 27 inches deep, with the deeper edges or grade beams providing better protection. At a minimum, the thickened edge or grade beam should be reinforced by two No. 5 rebar, one at the top and one at the bottom. The use of thickened edges or grade beams is left to the discretion of the city and/or architect/engineer. 4. To reduce shrinkage cracks in concrete, the concrete aggregates should be of appropriate size and proportion, the water/cement ratio should be low, the concrete should be properly placed and finished, contraction joints should be installed, and the concrete should be properly cured. Concrete materials, placement, and curing specifications should be at the direction of the architect/engineer; ACI 302.1R-15 is suggested as a resource for the architect/engineer in preparing such specifications. Drainage and Maintenance 1. Unpaved ground surfaces should be graded during construction and, per Section 1804.3 of the CBC, finish graded to direct surface runoff away from foundations, slopes, and other improvements at a minimum 5 percent grade for a minimum distance of 10 feet. If this is not feasible due to the terrain, property lines, or other factors, swales with improved surfaces, area drains, or other drainage features should be provided to divert drainage away from these areas. Mitchell Park Revitalization Project May 24, 2023 San Luis Obispo, California 305893-001 11 2304-009.SER 2. All eaves of the canopy should be fitted with roof gutters. Runoff from flatwork, roof gutters, downspouts, planter drains, area drains, etc. should discharge in a nonerosive manner away from foundations and other improvements in accordance with the requirements of the governing agencies. Erosion protection should be placed at all discharge points unless the discharge is to an improved surface. 3. If soils are disturbed during construction, stabilization of soils by vegetation or other means, during and following construction, is essential to reduce erosion damage. Care should be taken to establish and maintain vegetation. The landscaping should be planned and installed to maintain the surface drainage recommended above. Surface drainage should also be maintained during construction. 4. Maintenance of drainage and other improvements is critical to the long-term stability of the site and the integrity of the structures. Site improvements should be maintained on a regular basis. 5. Finished flatwork surfaces should be sloped to freely drain toward appropriate drainage facilities. Water should not be allowed to stand or pond on or adjacent to exterior pedestrian flatwork, or other improvements as it could infiltrate into the sand/aggregate base or subgrade, causing premature deterioration of flatwork or other improvements. 6. All exterior drains and drain outlets should be maintained to be free-flowing. Care should be taken to establish and maintain vegetation. Vegetation and erosion matting (if utilized) should be maintained or augmented as needed. Irrigation systems should be maintained so that soils around structures are maintained at a relatively uniform year-round moisture content and are neither over-watered nor allowed to dry and desiccate. 7. To reduce the potential for disruption of drainage patterns and undermining of structures, fill areas, etc., all rodent activity should be aggressively controlled. Observation and Testing 1. It must be recognized that the recommendations contained in this report are based on a limited number of borings and rely on continuity of the subsurface conditions encountered. Therefore, the geotechnical engineer should be retained to provide consultation during the design phase, to review plans as they near completion, to interpret this report during construction, and to provide construction monitoring in the form of testing and observation. Mitchell Park Revitalization Project May 24, 2023 San Luis Obispo, California 305893-001 12 2304-009.SER 2. At a minimum, the geotechnical engineer should be retained to provide: • Oversight of soil special inspection 3. Special inspection of grading and backfill should be provided as per Section 1705.6 and Table 1705.6 of the 2019 CBC. The special inspector should be under the direction of the geotechnical engineer. It is our opinion that none of the grading construction is of a nature that should warrant continuous special inspection; periodic special inspection should suffice. Subject to approval by the Building Official, the exception to continuous special inspection is described in Section 1704.2 of the 2019 CBC and should be specified by the architect/engineer and periodic special inspection of the following items should be provided by the special inspector. • Conventional foundation excavations 4. A program of quality assurance should be developed prior to beginning construction. At a minimum, the program should include all geotechnical items shown on the testing and inspection schedule of the approved plans. It should also include any additional inspection items required by the engineer and/or the governing jurisdiction. These items should be discussed at a preconstruction site meeting among a representative of the owner, the geotechnical engineer, special inspector, the project inspector, the engineer, and contractors. The geotechnical engineer should be notified at least 48 hours prior to beginning grading operations. 5. Locations and frequency of compaction tests should be per the recommendation of the geotechnical engineer at the time of construction. The recommended test location and frequency may be subject to modification by the geotechnical engineer, based upon soil and moisture conditions encountered, size and type of equipment used by the contractor, the general trend of the results of compaction tests, or other factors. 6. A preconstruction conference among the owner, the geotechnical engineer, the governing agency, the special inspector, the project inspector, the architect/engineer, and contractors is recommended to discuss planned construction procedures and quality control requirements. 7. The geotechnical engineer should be notified at least 48 hours prior to beginning construction operations.

For a gold bocce court, we blend Gold Queen Decomposed Granite material with 25% crushed naturally marine composted oyster shell. Shell is in the form of thin ⅜” wide thin �lakes with approximately 20% �ines or “oyster shell �lour.” Material is similar to texture of �ish scales not shell pebbles. Bocce courts require regular grooming of the surface with a push broom or tennis court broom and large landscape rake. The role that oyster shell plays in bocce court surface mixtures is to keep the decomposed granite from becoming extremely hard and un-workable for grooming. The oyster shell �lakes keep the decomposed granite from completely binding together. Through the normal course of play; ruts, troughs and material displacement takes place. Our decomposed granite oyster shell blend is in traditional Italian bocce ball court surface formula. When groomed out it makes a smooth solid surface to play on. When p lay is completed it makes for an easy surface to quickly renovate. This material is safe for use around plants and is key ingredient in organic farming. A high-quality soil conditioner which consists of 96% calcium carbonate and many micronutrients, Oyster Shell provides a long-lasting, steady release of nutrients to help regulate pH levels, improve fertilizer uptake, promote healthy cellular structure and enhance soil tilth.
