BACKGROUND: TriBridgc Residential has the property northwest of the Atlantic Boulevard
and Aquatic Drive intersection und er contract. TriBridge intends to develop the propet1y with
townhomes in the future. Prior to developing U1e site, TriBridge plans to conduct an
environmental c leanup of the property, which was once used as a dumping ground. The
geoteclmical repott conducted by Ell is and Associates on October 26, 2015 (Exhibit I) states
that their boring exploration found trash at depths between 2-1 0 feet below the surface.
TriBridge intends to designate the site as a "Brownfield s Site" under the F lorida Brownfields
Act. This designation will make the site e li gible for federal and state tax credits and offset
some of the cos ts of environmental remediation. In order for the site to be designated as a
"Brownfield s Site", th e City must ·first pass a Resolution designating it as such. It is important
to note that, the City wi ll not be liable for any environmental remediation or incentives as a
result of designated the prope1ty as a "Brownficld s Site". The Resolution specifically states,
"This designation shall not, h owever, render the City of Atlantic Beach liable for: the cost of
site rehabilitation or source removal; or for a n y other costs associated with the environmental
remediation of the Property."
BUDGET: None.

1.0 PROJECT INFORMATION
1.1 Site Location and Project Description
The project site is located at the northwest comer of the intersection of Atlantic Boulevard and
Aquatic Drive in Atlantic Beach, Florida. The general site location is shown on Figure 1.
At the time of our exploration, the site was undeveloped, with surface cover consisting of sparse to
thick trees. The site was relatively level with a slight slope upward from Aquatic Drive. Surface water
was not observed near planned structural areas at the time of our exploration.
You provided project information via several discussions and emails. We were provided with a
conceptual site plan for the potential construction. This plan indicated the boundary limits for the
property, the existing roadways adjacent to the site and the layout of the proposed construction.
We understand that the property will be developed for multi-family residential with two to three-story
townhomes and associated paved parking and drive areas. We expect that the proposed buildings will
be of block or wood frame construction with slab-on-grade floors. We were not provided detailed
structural loading and grading information. For the purposes of this report, we expect maximum
column, wall, and floor loads of 50 kips, 3 kips per linear foot (klf) and 100 pounds per square foot
(psf), respectively. We also expect that less than 2 feet of fill (and only nominal cuts) will be required
to achieve final grades in structural areas.
If actual building loads or fill/cut heights vary from these conditions, then the recommendations in this
report may need to be re-evaluated. We should be contacted if any of the above project information is
incorrect so that we may reevaluate our recommendations.
2.0 FIELD EXPLORATION
We performed a field exploration on October 23, 2015. The approximate boring locations are
indicated on the attached Field Exploration Plan (Figure 2). Our personnel determined the boring
locations using paced measurements from existing roadways and site features. The boring locations on
the referenced Field Exploration Plan should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the
method of measurement used.
2.1 SPT and Auger Borings
We located and performed six Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings, drilled to a depth of
approximately 20 feet below the existing ground surface, in general accordance with the methodology
outlined in ASTM D 1586 to explore the subsurface conditions within the area of the proposed
structure. Split-spoon soil samples recovered during performance of the borings were visually
classified in the field and representative portions of the samples were transported to our laboratory for
further evaluation.
We located and performed five auger borings, drilled to a depth of approximately 6 feet below the
existing ground surface in general accordance with the methodology outlined in ASTM D 1452 to
explore the subsurface conditions within the proposed pavement areas. Representative soil samples
also were recovered from the auger borings and returned to our laboratory for further evaluation. A
summary of the field procedures is included in Appendix A.
3.0 VISUAL CLASSIFICATION
A geotechnical engineer classified representative soil samples obtained during our field exploration
using the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) in general accordance with ASTM D 2488. A
Key to the Soil Classification System is included in Appendix A.

4.0 GENERAL SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
4.1 General Soil Profile
A graphical presentation of the generalized subsurface conditions is presented on Figures 3 and 4.
Detailed boring records are included in Appendix A. It should be understood that the soil conditions
will vary between the boring locations. The following table summarizes the soil conditions
encountered.

( 1) Unified Soil Classification System
4.2 Groundwater Level
Groundwater was encountered at each boring location and recorded at the time of drilling at depths
varying from 2 to 4 feet below the existing ground surface. We note that groundwater levels will
fluctuate due to seasonal climatic variations, surface water runoff patterns, construction operations,
and other interrelated factors. The groundwater depth at each boring location is noted on the
Generalized Subsurface Profiles and on the Log of Boring records.
4.3 Normal Seasonal High Groundwater Level
The normal seasonal high groundwater level is affected by a number of factors. The drainage
characteristics of the soils, land surface elevation, relief points such as drainage ditches, lakes, rivers,
swamp areas, etc., and distance to relief points are some of the more important factors influencing the
seasonal high groundwater level.
Based on our interpretation of the site conditions, including the boring logs and Duval County Soil
Survey, we estimate the normal seasonal high groundwater level at the site at the pond area to be
approximately 2 to 3 feet above the groundwater levels measured at the time of our field exploration. It
is possible that groundwater levels may exceed the estimated normal seasonal high groundwater level
as a result of significant or prolonged rains.
5.0 DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 General
Our geotechnical engineering evaluation of the site and subsurface conditions at the property, with
respect to the planned construction and our recommendations for site preparation and foundation
support, are based on (1) our site observations, (2) the field data obtained, (3) our understanding of the
3719-0019 2 October 26, 2015
@!ll Ellis& AssociateS inc.
AGENDA ITEM #6A
APRIL 25, 2016
Atlantic Beach Property
project information and structural conditions as presented in this report, and (4) our experience with
similar soil and loading conditions.
If the stated structural or grading conditions are incorrect, or should the location of the structure or
pavement areas be changed, please contact us so that we can review our recommendations. Also, the
discovery of any site or subsurface conditions during construction that deviate from the data obtained
during this geotechnical exploration should also be reported to us for our evaluation.
The recommendations in the subsequent sections of this report present design and construction
techniques that are appropriate for the planned construction. We recommend that E&A be provided
the opportunity to review the foundation plans and earthwork specifications to verify that our
recommendations have been properly interpreted and implemented.
5.2 Foundation Design Recommendations
As stated previously, sands with buried trash consisting of plastic, paper, glass and wood were
encountered in most of the borings. These unsuitable materials should be removed from the structural
and pavement areas of the site. Removal of these materials and general site work recommendations are
provided in Section 6 of this report. Provided the site preparation and earthwork construction
recommendations outlined in in this section are performed, the following parameters may be used for
foundation design.
5.2.1 Bearing Pressure
The maximum allowable net soil bearing pressure for use in shallow foundation design should not
exceed 2,500 psf. Net bearing pressure is defined as the soil bearing pressure at the foundation bearing
level in excess of the natural overburden pressure at that level. The foundations should be designed
based on the maximum load that could be imposed by all loading conditions.
5.2.2 Foundation Size
The minimum widths recommended for any isolated column footing and continuous wall footing are
24 inches and 18 inches, respectively. Even though the maximum allowable soil bearing pressure may
not be achieved, these width recommendations should control the size of the foundations.
5.2.3 Bearing Depth
The exterior foundations should bear at a depth of at least 12 inches below the exterior final grades,
and the interior foundations should bear at a depth of at least 12 inches below the finish floor
elevation. These embedment depths are to provide confinement to the bearing level soils. It is also
recommended that storm water be diverted away from the building exterior to reduce the possibility of
erosion beneath the exterior footings.
5.2.4 Bearing Material
The foundations may bear in either the compacted suitable natural soils or compacted structural fill.
The bearing level soils, after compaction, should exhibit densities equivalent to 95 percent of the
modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557), to a depth of at least one foot below
foundation bearing levels.
5.2.5 Settlement Estimates
Post -construction settlements of the structure will be influenced by several interrelated factors, such as
( 1) subsurface stratification and strength/compressibility characteristics; (2) footing size, bearing level,
applied loads, and resulting bearing pressures beneath the foundations; and (3) site preparation and
3719-0019 3 October 26, 2015
AGENDA ITEM #6A
APRIL 25, 2016
@!lJ Ellis&AssociateSinc. Atlantic Beach Property
earthwork construction techniques used by the contractor. Our settlement estimates for the structure
are based on the use of site preparation/earthwork construction techniques as recommended in Section
6.0 of this report. Any deviation from these recommendations could result in an increase in the
estimated post-construction settlements of the structure.
Using the recommended maximum bearing pressure, the supplied/assumed maximum structural loads,
and the field test data that we have correlated to geotechnical strength and compressibility
characteristics of the subsurface soils, we estimate that total settlements of the structure could be on
the order of one inch or less.
Differential settlements result from variations in applied bearing pressures and compressibility
characteristics of the subsurface soils. Because of the general uniformity of the soils encountered in
our borings and the recommended site preparation and earthwork construction techniques outlined in
Section 6.0, we anticipate that differential settlements of the structure should be within tolerable
magnitudes.
5.3 Pavement Considerations
Based on the results of our exploration, we consider the subsurface conditions at the site favorable for
support of a flexible pavement section when constructed on properly prepared subgrade soils as
outlined in Section 6.0 of this report. Typical pavement sections used in northeast Florida are shown
on the following table. If requested, we can prepare a project-specific pavement design if specific
traffic data is provided.
TYPICAL PAVEMENT SECTION
Pavement Layer Auto Parking & Traffic Truck Areas Lanes
Asphaltic Concrete Wearing Surface 1.5" 2.0"
Limerock Base 6.0" 8.0"
Stabilized Subgrade 12.0" 12.0"
5.3.1 Wearing Surface
The wearing surface should consist of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) TypeS asphaltic
concrete having a minimum Marshall Stability of 1,500 lbs. Specific requirements for TypeS asphaltic
concrete wearing surface are outlined in the 2000 edition of the Florida Department of
Transportation, Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. As an alternative, the
wearing surface may consist of a Type SP-9.5 asphaltic concrete as outlined in the current edition of
the Standard Specifications.
5.3.2 Base and Subgrade
The limerock base course should have a minimum Limerock Bearing Ratio (LBR) of 100 and should
be compacted to 100 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557) value.
The subgrade material should have a minimum LBR of 40 and be compacted to 98 percent of the
modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557) value.

~ Ellis&AssociateSinc.
5.3.3 Underdrains
AGENDA ITEM #6A
APRIL 25, 2016
Atlantic Beach Property
Satisfactory pavement life is dependent on dry/stable pavement support provided by the base and
subgrade courses. Accordingly, a minimum clearance of 2 feet must be maintained between the
normal seasonal high groundwater table and the bottom of the base layer. Depending on final
pavement grades, underdrains may be required to maintain dry base and sub grade materials.
6.0 SITE PREPARATION AND EARTHWORK RECOMMENDATIONS
Site preparation as outlined in this section should be performed to provide more uniform foundation
bearing conditions, to reduce the potential for post-construction settlements of the planned structure( s)
and to maintain the integrity of a flexible pavement section.
6.1 Clearing and Stripping
Prior to construction, the location of existing underground utilities within the construction area should
be established. Provisions should then be made to relocate interfering utilities to appropriate locations.
Underground pipes that are not properly removed or plugged may serve as conduits for subsurface
erosion, which may subsequently lead to excessive settlement of overlying structures.
Site preparation should consist of clearing the existing vegetation and near surface organic topsoil.
The clearing/stripping operations should extend within and to a distance of at least five feet beyond the
perimeter of the proposed building areas and three feet beyond pavement areas. During grubbing
operations, roots with a diameter greater than 0.5-inch, stumps, or small roots in a concentrated state,
should be grubbed and completely removed.
Based on the results of our field exploration, materials containing trash were encountered at depths
varying between 2 to 10 feet below the existing ground surface. We recommend that this material be
removed from within and to a distance of 5-feet beyond the structural and pavement areas. Some of
the borings did not encounter buried trash. However, the actual extent and depth of unsuitable
materials should be determined by Ellis & Associates, Inc. using visual observation and judgment
during earthwork operations. The over-excavated unsuitable soils should be replaced with compacted
structural fill soils as discussed below.
Excavation side slopes should be in accordance with OSHA requirements for loose sandy soils.
Temporary slopes cut back at 1.5 horizontal to 1 vertical (1.5H: 1 V) may be used. The 1.5H: 1 V slopes
are contingent upon the dewatering system adequately controlling slope groundwater seepage.
6.2 Temporary Groundwater Control
The borings encountered groundwater at depths varying from 2 to 4 feet below the existing ground
surface at the time of our exploration. It may be necessary to install temporary groundwater control
measures to dewater the area to facilitate the removal of the unsuitable materials and to perform
compaction ofthe surface soils in other portions of the site. Groundwater control measures should be
determined by the contractor, and they should remain in-place until backfilling in over excavated areas
has reached a height of2 feet above the groundwater level at the time of construction. The site should
be graded to direct surface water runoff from the construction area.
Note that discharge of produced groundwater to surface waters of the state from dewatering operations
or other site activities is regulated and requires a permit from the State of Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP). This permit is termed a Generic Permit for the Discharge of
Produced Groundwater From Any Non-Contaminated Site Activity. If discharge of produced
groundwater is anticipated, we recommend sampling and testing of the groundwater early in the site

Atlantic Beach Property
design phase to prevent project delays during construction. E&A can provide the sampling, testing,
and professional consulting required to evaluate compliance with the regulations.
6.3 Compaction
In areas where no trash removal is required, the exposed surface should be compacted with a vibratory
drum roller having a minimum static, at-drum weight, on the order of 4 to 6 tons. Typically, the
material should exhibit moisture contents within ±2 percent of the modified Proctor optimum moisture
content (ASTM D 1557) during the compaction operations. Compaction should continue until
densities of at least 95 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557) have
been achieved within the upper 2 feet of the compacted natural soils at the site.
Should the bearing level soils experience pumping and soil strength loss during the compaction
operations, compaction work should be immediately terminated, and ( 1) the disturbed soils should be
removed and backfilled with compacted structural fill, or (2) the excess moisture content within the
disturbed soils should be allowed to dissipate before recompacting.
Care should be exercised to avoid damaging any nearby structures while the compaction operation is
underway. Prior to commencing compaction, occupants of adjacent structures should be notified, and
the existing conditions of the structures should be documented with photographs and survey (if
deemed necessary). Compaction should cease if deemed detrimental to adjacent structures, and Ellis &
Associates, Inc. should be contacted immediately. We recommend the vibratory roller remain a
minimum of 50 feet from existing structures. Within this zone, use of a track-mounted bulldozer, or a
vibratory roller operating in the static mode, is recommended.
6.4 Structural Backfill and Fill Soils
Structural backfill in areas where undercutting trash is required or fill for site development should be
placed in loose lifts not exceeding 12 inches in thickness when compacted by the use of the above
described vibratory drum roller. The lift thickness should be reduced to 8 inches if the roller operates
in the static mode or if track-mounted compaction equipment is used. If hand-held compaction
equipment is used, the lift thickness should be further reduced to 6 inches.
Structural fill is defined as a non-plastic, inorganic, granular soil having less than 10 percent material
passing the No. 200 mesh sieve and containing less than 4 percent organic material. The fme sand and
fine sand with silt or fine sand with clay, without roots, as encountered in the borings, are suitable as
fill materials and, with proper moisture control, should densify using conventional compaction
methods. Soils with more than 10 to 12 percent passing the No. 200 sieve will be more difficult to
compact, due to their nature to retain soil moisture, and may require drying. Typically, the material
should exhibit moisture contents within ±2 percent of the modified Proctor optimum moisture content
(ASTM D 1557) during the compaction operations. Compaction should continue until densities of at
least 95 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557) have been achieved
within each lift of the compacted structural fill.
6.5 Foundation Areas
After satisfactory placement and compaction of the required structural fill, the foundation areas may be
excavated to the planned bearing levels. The foundation bearing level soils, after compaction, should
exhibit densities equivalent to 95 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D
1557) to a depth of one foot below the bearing level. For confined areas, such as the footing
excavations, any compactive effort should be provided by a lightweight vibratory sled or roller having
a total weight on the order of 500 to 2,000 pounds.

6.6 Pavement Areas
AGENDA ITEM# 6A
APRIL 25, 2016
Atlantic Beach Property
After completing the clearing/stripping operations and removal of areas of buried trash in the
pavement areas, structural backfill and fill required to achieve the finish pavement grades can then be
placed and compacted as described in Section 6.3 above. As an exception, densities of at least 98
percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557) should be obtained within the
upper one foot of the materials immediately below the proposed base course.
7.0 QUALITY CONTROL TESTING
Ellis & Associates, Inc. should be retained to perform the construction material testing and
observations required for this project, to verify that our recommendations have been satisfied. We are
the most qualified to address problems that may arise during construction, since we are familiar with
the intent of our engineering design.
A representative number of field in-place density tests should be made in the upper 2 feet of
compacted natural soils, in each lift of compacted backfill and fill, and in the upper 12 inches below
the bearing levels in the footing excavations. Density tests are recommended to verify that satisfactory
compaction operations have been performed. We recommend density testing be performed ( 1) at one
location for every 5,000 square feet ofbuilding area, (2) at 25 percent of any isolated column footing
locations, (3) at one location for every 100 linear feet of continuous wall footings, and (4) at one
location for every 10,000 square feet of pavement area.
8.0 REPORT LIMITATIONS
Our geotechnical exploration has been performed, our findings obtained, and our recommendations
prepared, in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering principles and practices.
Ellis & Associates, Inc. is not responsible for any independent conclusions, interpretation, opinions, or
recommendations made by others based on the data contained in this report.
Our scope of services was intended to evaluate the soil conditions within the zone of soil influenced by
the foundation system. Our scope of services does not address geologic conditions, such as sinkholes
or soil conditions existing below the depth of the soil borings.
This report does not reflect any variations that may occur adjacent to or between soil borings. The
discovery of any site or subsurface condition during construction that deviates from the data obtained

FIELD EXPLORATION PROCEDURES
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) Borings
AGENDA ITEM# 6A
APRIL 25, 2016
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings were made in general accordance with the latest
revision of ASTM D 1586, "Penetration Test and Split-Barrel Sampling of Soils". The borings were
advanced by rotary (or "wash-n-chop") drilling techniques. At 2 Y2 to 5 foot intervals, a split-barrel
sampler inserted to the borehole bottom and driven 18 inches into the soil using a 140 pound hammer
falling on the average 30 inches per hammer blow. The number of hammer blows for the final 12
inches of penetration is termed the "penetration resistance, blow count, or N-value". This value is an
index to several in-place geotechnical properties of the material tested, such as relative density and
Young's Modulus.
After driving the sampler 18 inches (or less if in hard rock-like material), the sampler was retrieved
from the borehole and representative samples of the material within the split-barrel were
containerized and sealed. After completing the drilling operations, the samples for each boring were
transported to our laboratory where they were examined by our engineer in order to verify the
driller's field classification. The retrieved samples will be kept in our facility for a period of six (6)
months unless directed otherwise.
Flight Auger Boring
The auger borings were performed mechanically by the use of a continuous-flight auger attached to
the drill rig and in general accordance with the latest revision of ASTM D 1452, "Soil Investigation
and Sampling by Auger Borings". Representative samples of the soils brought to the ground surface
by the au gering process were placed in glass jars, sealed, and transported to our laboratory where they
were examined by our engineer to verify the driller's field classification.
