Dear Mr. Holt:
As requested, we met with you and representatives of Goldsmith Engineering at the subject site to observe and
discuss current conditions of the subject stormwater detention dam. The purpose of the meeting was to clarify
civil and geotechnical design and construction issues identified by Department of Ecology Dam Safety Office
(DSO) personnel during their recent inspection of the dam with City officials. A summary of DSO's
requirements arising from the inspection is contained in the referenced Periodic Inspection Report.
DSO has re-classified the dam's downstream hazard rating to "Hazard Class 1C, high" based on increased
downstream populations since its construction in 2008. As part of the new hazard rating's more stringent design
requirements, DSO requires analysis of ravine stability slopes using a seismic acceleration value for the 2,475-
year return period earthquake. During our on -site meeting, we recommended that in addition to analysis of the
ravine location, a stability analysis of the northern embankment be completed using the revised earthquake
acceleration criterion.

During our site visit, we observed that the geocells lining the pond slopes had been disturbed at isolated locations
as a result of removal of small trees during pond maintenance operations. In addition, we observed areas of
geocell disturbance that appear related to slippage of topsoil beneath the geocells. One of the geotechnical
requirements listed in the DSO report pertains to recommendations from the geotechnical engineer for repair of
the geocells.
SCOPE OF WORK
In our meeting, we discussed the possibility of requiring additional site explorations for use in stability analyses
of the north dam embankment. Test pit data contained in the referenced Geotechnical Evaluation Report,
including two test pits at the north embankment location, indicate that glacially consolidated till and outwash
sands underlie the dam. In addition, Terra Associates, Inc. observed placement and tested compaction of
embankment fills during the dam's construction. Based on these results, in our opinion, additional subsurface
explorations at the site will not be required to complete our stability analyses.
Our scope of work includes responding to the geotechnical engineering requirements contained in the DSO
inspection report and discussed in greater detail during our on -site meeting. Using the results of our previous
subsurface explorations and laboratory testing, analyses will be undertaken to develop conclusions pertaining to
stability of the ravine slope, and the north and west dam embankments. The results of our study will be
summarized in a written report.
Specifically, the report will address the following:
• Site observations.
+ Slope stability analyses.
• A discussion of options for stabilizing embankments, if required.
• Recommendations for geocell repair,
ESTIMATED FEES
The fees for our services will be invoiced on a time and expense basis in accordance with the attached Standard

Our fee estimate will not be exceeded unless our scope of work changes due to variations in dam safety inspection
requirements, or if it is determined additional geotechnical engineering analysis and design are required for a
selected option of dam embankment stabilization. In such cases, a detailed scope breakdown and fee estimate will
be provided to you for your approval, prior to proceeding with any additional work beyond that outlined in this
proposal. Our fee estimate does not include costs for consulting services that may be required following initial
submittal of our report.
If you agree with the outlined scope of services and associated fee, please indicate your authorization to proceed
by signing one copy of this letter and returning it to our office.
We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal and look forward to working with you on this project. If
you have any questions or require additional information, please call.
Sincerely yours,

or investigations are made Consistent with the foregoing standard of care, TERRA will use its professional judgment to select
the number and location of all samples and investigations Client assumes the risk that despite such care the samples and
investigations may not accurately represent the entire site.
INSURANCE AND SUBROGATION:
