GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION REPORT
BOZEMAN GATEWAY SUBDIVISION PHASE 5
TECHNOLOGY BOULEVARD WEST
BOZEMAN, MONTANA
INTRODUCTION
Project Description
This project consists of a 6 story hotel with 5 stories constructed with wood framed construction,
a restaurant with metal stud framing with conventional stem wall footings and with the adjacent
parking/driving areas. The new buildings will be on Technology Boulevard West in Bozeman,
Montana as shown on the site map, Plate 1 at the end of this report.
Scope of Services
Our scope of services for this project consisted of the following:
1. Drilling 7 exploratory borings to a depth of 5 to 15 feet below existing site grades.
2. Laboratory testing to determine the characteristics of the site soils for use in
engineering design.
3. Engineering analysis to aid in the design of structure foundations and structural
pavement sections.
4. Provide information as to the existing groundwater conditions at the time of our
exploration.
5. Provide recommendations for earthwork and construction on the site.
This study did not include evaluations of site seismicity, liquefaction, faulting, or other potential
geologic or environmental hazards. This study did not include a groundwater study or the
design of a dewatering system.
Authorization
Authorization to proceed with our work on this project was provided on March 18, 2020.
Professional Statements and Limitations
Recommendations presented in this report are governed by the physical properties of the soils
encountered in the exploratory borings, laboratory testing, current groundwater conditions, the
project layout and design data described in the following proposed construction section.
The recommendations presented in this report are based on exploratory boring locations shown
on the site map. Variations in soils may exist between the explored locations and the nature
1
and extent of soil variations may not be evident until construction occurs. If subsurface
conditions other than those described in this report are encountered and if project design and
layout is substantially altered from the information in this report, Rawhide Engineering should be
notified so that recommendations can be reviewed and amended, if necessary.
This report has been prepared for design purposes for our client and specifically for this project
in accordance with the generally accepted standards of practice at the time the report was
written. No warranty, either expressed or implied, are intended or made.
Other standards or documents referenced in any given standard cited in this report, or otherwise
relied upon by the authors of this report, are only mentioned in the given standard; they are not
incorporated into it or "included by reference," as that latter term is used relative to contracts or
other matters of law.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
It is our understanding that this project will include the construction of 6 story hotel with a post
tension concrete slab on grade, a restaurant with light gauge metal framing and the adjacent
driving/parking areas. The structural loads for the building were provided DCI Engineering. The
hotel will have column loads of 150 to 200 kips and the restaurant will have continuous footing
loads of 1.5 to 2 kips per lineal foot for long term loading conditions.
FIELD INVESTIGATION
In order to determine and evaluate the subsurface conditions across the site, 7 exploratory
borings were completed using a drill rig equipped with hollow stem augers. Boring depths were
to 5 to 15 feet below the existing ground surface. The location of the borings shown on the
Vicinity/Site Map were dimensioned from property corners with the site map provided. This
location should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the method used.
The field investigation was under the direct control of an experienced member of our
geotechnical staff who logged the soil conditions for each boring. Samples were obtained from
bulk samples during the boring excavation. The bulk samples were examined by field
personnel, logged and sealed to prevent moisture loss prior to laboratory testing. After
completion, the groundwater level in the boring was recorded and the borings were backfilled
using the excavated material.
The boring logs included at the end of this report are labelled B-1 through B-7. A boring log
legend and a description of the Unified Soil Classification System used to identify the soils is
included with the boring logs.

LABORATORY TESTING
A laboratory testing program was utilized to provide the necessary data for engineering analysis
of this project. The testing was used to evaluate the index and engineering properties
specifically for the conditions encountered during our field exploration. The following program
was used for this project.
Moisture Content Tests—ASTM D2216
Moisture content tests were conducted on selected samples obtained from the site. These tests
were used to aid in identifying the current soil conditions and aid in classifying the soils.
Moisture content tests are shown on the boring logs.
Soil Classification Tests—ASTM D422, D1140, D4318, D2487 and D2488
In order to classify the soils according to the Unified Classification System, soil gradations and
Atterberg Limits test were conducted on selected samples. The results of this testing is shown
below and on the boring logs.

SITE CONDITIONS
The site is located between Huffine Lane and the proposed new Technology Boulevard West in
Bozeman, Montana. The site is bordered by developed property on the east, Huffine Lane on
the north and agricultural land on the remaining sides. The site is currently a commercial lot
covered with vegetation and tree stumps on the north end. The site near the building envelope
slopes to the north and to the east towards a creek. Drainage consists of infiltration and sheet
flow to the north and east.
SUBSURFACE SOILS AND GROUNDWATER
The soil conditions encountered on the site generally consist of a 0.5 foot layer of topsoil with
vegetation. Beneath the topsoil fill layer we encountered sandy lean clay to depths ranging from
1.5 to 2.5 feet below existing site grades. The sandy lean clay was underlain by gravel with
sand and cobbles to the depths explored of 15 feet below existing site grades. The sandy lean
clay soils were medium stiff and have a moderate plastic index. Groundwater was encountered
at depths ranging from 5.5 to 7.2 feet below existing site grades during drilling operations in
March 2020 and may impact utility construction. Our scope of service did not include the design
of a dewatering system. If a system is required it should be designed by a competent person
with experience in designing dewatering systems and there effects on adjacent structures.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Prior to construction, the vegetation and topsoil should be stripped and removed from the site.
It appears about 1.0 foot can be used as a reasonable estimate for average depth of stripping.
The north portion of the site had large trees which were cut down however the stumps still have
to be removed. These areas should be backfilled and compacted prior to fill placement. Prior
to excavating the footings, the building pad area should be scarified, moisture
conditioned and compacted to 95% of ASTM D698. It is our understanding that the north
end of the site will be raised 3 to 4 feet. The area under the hotel should have the
building pad constructed with structural fill. Excavations resulting from removal operations
should be cleaned of all loose material and widened as necessary to permit access to
compaction equipment.
Excavations
The contractor is ultimately responsible for the safety of workers and should strictly observe
federal and local OSHA requirements for excavation shoring and safety. All temporary slopes
should comply with OSHA requirements for Type A soils in the sandy lean clay and Type C in
the native gravels with sand. During wet weather, runoff water should be prevented from
entering excavations.
4
It appears that excavation for footings and utility trenches can be readily made with either a
conventional backhoe or excavator in the native soil materials. We expect the walls of the
footing trenches in the near surface fine grained soils to stand near vertically without significant
sloughing. If trenches are extended deeper than five feet or are allowed to dry out, the
excavations may become unstable and should be evaluated to verify their stability prior to
occupation by construction personnel. Shoring or sloping of any deep trench walls may be
necessary to protect personnel and provide temporary stability. All excavations should comply
with current OSHA safety requirements for Type A in the sandy lean clay and Type C in the
native gravel with sand. (Federal Register 29 CFR, Part 1926).
Backfills for trenches or other excavations within pavement areas should be compacted in six to
eight inch layers with mechanical tampers. Jetting and flooding should not be permitted. We
recommend all backfill be compacted to a minimum compaction of 97% of the maximum dry
density as determined by ASTM D698. The moisture content of compacted backfill soils should
be within 2% of the optimum. Poor compaction in utility trench backfill may cause excessive
settlements resulting in damage to the pavement structural section or other overlying
improvements. Compaction of trench backfill outside of improvement areas should be a
minimum of 90% relative compaction.
Material - Pipe bedding shall be defined as all material within six inches of the perimeter
of the pipe. Backfill shall be classified as all material within the remainder of the trench.
Material for use as bedding shall consist of clean, granular materials, and shall conform
to requirements for bedding material listed in the Standard Specifications.
Placement and Compaction - Pipe bedding shall be placed in thin layers not exceeding
eight inches in loose thickness, and conditioned to the proper moisture content for
compaction.
All other trench backfill shall be placed in thin layers not exceeding eight inches in loose
thickness, conditioned to the proper moisture content, and compacted as required for
adjacent fill. If not specified, backfill should be compacted to at least 97% relative
compaction in areas under structures, utilities, roadways, parking areas, concrete
flatwork, and to 90% relative compaction in undeveloped areas.
Foundations
Due to the heavy structural loads we are recommending that the exterior continuous footings
and interior load bearing footings are excavated down to the native gravel layer. If the gravel
layer is deeper than 3.5 feet, the footings should be over excavated down to the gravel layer
and backfilled with compacted structural fill. Utilizing the structural loads estimated for this
project and an allowable bearing capacity of 4,000 psf for footings constructed on native gravel,
a settlement of less than 1/2 inch was estimated.
5
Structural fill shall be placed in layers, moisture conditioned, and compacted to 98% of ASTM
D698. Exterior continuous footings should be 3.5 feet in depth to provide frost protection.
Interior column footings should be embedded down to the native gravel bearing and for
confinement. Wall foundation dimensions should satisfy the requirements listed in the latest
edition of the International Commercial Code. Reinforcing steel requirements for foundations
should be provided by the design engineer.
The allowable bearing pressures, indicated above, are net values, therefore, the weight of the
foundation and backfill may be neglected when computing dead loads. Allowable bearing
pressures may be increased by one-third for short-term loading such as wind or seismic.
Resistance to lateral loads in the native gravel with sand soils may be calculated using an
allowable passive equivalent fluid unit weight of 320 pounds per cubic foot and an allowable
coefficient of friction of 0.47 applied to vertical dead loads. Both passive and frictional
resistances may be assumed to act concurrently. An allowable active equivalent fluid pressure
of 38 pounds per cubic foot may be used.
The International Building Code (IBC) site class for this project is Class C.
Structural Fill
Structural fill will be used beneath the footings and should consist of dense gravel with sand and
conforming to the following gradation and plastic index.
Sieve Size Percent Passing
3 Inch 100%
No. 4 25-65%
No. 200 <20%
Plastic Index 12 or less
All structural fill shall be placed in eight inch loose lifts and uniformly moisture conditioned to
within +/-2% of optimum moisture content. The contractor shall provide and use sufficient
equipment of a type and weight suitable for the conditions encountered in the field. The
equipment shall be capable of obtaining the required compaction in all areas, including those
that are inaccessible to ordinary rolling equipment.
Compaction Requirements
The following table lists the compaction requirements for structural fill, foundation backfill, utility
trench backfill and street subgrade preparation.
6
COMPACTION REQUIREMENTS
Structural Fill Beneath Foundations (if required) 98% of ASTM D698
Backfill Against Foundations 95% of ASTM D698
Utility Trench Backfill 97% of ASTM D698
Building Pad Construction 95% of ASTM D698
Concrete Slab-on-Grade Construction
Prior to constructing concrete slabs, the upper six inches of slab subgrade should be
scarified, moisture conditioned to within 2% of optimum, and uniformly compacted to at
least 95% of maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D698. The building pad may be
constructed using on site soils and then covered by the base course. Scarification and
compaction will not be required if floor slabs are to be placed directly on undisturbed compacted
structural fill.
All concrete floor slabs should have a minimum thickness of four inches. Slab thickness and
structural reinforcing requirements within the slab should be determined by the design engineer.
At least six inches of crushed base aggregate should be placed beneath slab-on-grade
floors to provide uniform support. The hotel will have a post-tensioned slab on grade
designed by DCI Engineers. The aggregate base should be compacted to a minimum of 95%
relative compaction.
In floor slab areas where moisture sensitive floor coverings are planned, an impermeable
membrane (e.g. 10-mil thick polyethylene) should be placed over the base course to reduce the
migration of moisture vapor through the concrete slabs. The impermeable membrane should be
installed as required by the flooring manufacturer. Current literature from the American
Concrete Institute and the Portland Cement Association recommend that the vapor barrier is
placed on top of the crushed base course and the concrete is placed directly on the vapor
barrier.
Asphalt Pavement Sections
The recommended asphalt structural section for the project presented below was calculated
using the AASHTO pavement design procedure. Traffic loading information was not available at
the issue of this report. If traffic loading information becomes available or if loading is
anticipated to exceed assumed loading conditions, alternative pavement structural sections
should be determined based on the provided loading information. In our analysis, we have
assumed a light—duty section for car parking of 110,000 ESAL's and a heavy-duty section for
driving areas that have truck traffic with a loading condition of 375,000 18-kip equivalent single
axle load (18-kip ESAL) for the lifetime of the pavement. A CBR value of 4.5 was used for
design of the pavement section.
7
PAVEMENT STRUCTURAL SECTIONS
Traffic Condition Recommended Minimum Structural Section
Heavy Duty Asphalt Section 4" of Asphalt Pavement on 6 inches of Crushed Base
Course on 8 inches of 6" minus pitrun subbase gravel
Light Duty Asphalt Section 3" of Asphalt Pavement on 6 inches of Crushed Base
Course on 8 inches of pitrun subbase gravel
The pitrun subbase may be reduced if the native gravel with sand layer is encountered at the
subgrade elevation.
It should be noted that the subgrade soils are likely to be prone to frost action during the winter
and saturation during the wet spring months. The primary impact of frost action and subgrade
saturation is the loss of subgrade and aggregate base strength. The parking/driving areas life
will be increased if efforts are made to reduce the accumulation of excess moisture in the
subgrade soils. There were areas where it was evident that surface water ponds. These areas
should be regarded to drain to preserve the life of the gravel parking section.
Subgrade and Aggregate Base
Subgrade Preparation — Prior to placement of aggregate base, the upper six
inches of subgrade soil shall be uniformly compacted to at least 95% relative
compaction. This may require scarifying, moisture conditioning, and compacting
in both cut and fill areas.
Aggregate Base - Aggregate materials shall meet the requirements of the
appropriate sections of the "Standard Specifications" for 1 '/2" Crushed Base
Course. The aggregate base materials must be approved by the Geotechnical
Engineer prior to use.
After the subgrade is properly prepared, the aggregate base shall be placed in
layers, moisture conditioned as necessary, and compacted by rolling to at least
95% relative compaction. The compaction thickness of aggregate base shall be
as shown on the approved plans.
Site Drainage and Infiltration
Final elevations at the site should be planned so that drainage is directed away from all
foundations and concrete slabs. Parking areas should be designed to drain surface water off
the sight and away from structures.
