The Contractor may direct the investment of the payments into securities.

(4) Contractor shall be responsible for paying all fees for the expenses incurred by Escrow Agent in administering the Escrow Account and all expenses of the Owner. These expenses and payment terms shall be determined by the Owner, Contractor, and Escrow Agent.
(5) The interest earned on the securities or the money market accounts held in escrow and all interest earned on that interest shall be for the sole account of Contractor and shall be subject to withdrawal by Contractor at any time and from time to time without notice to the Owner .

The escrow shall be closed immediately upon disbursement of all moneys and securities on deposit and payments of fees and charges.
(9) Escrow Agent shall rely on the written notifications from the Owner and the Contractor pursuant to Sections (5) to (8), inclusive, of this Agreement and the Owner and Contractor shall hold Escrow Agent harmless from Escrow Agent's release and disbursement of the securities and interest as set forth above.

TESTING
All tiebacks shall be load tested by either a performance test or a proof test. Load testing shall be performed against a temporary waler which bears against existing soldier piles or against the permanent concrete waler. The permanent waler shall either attain a compressive strength of 22 mega pascals or cure for seven days before loading. Bearing pads shall be kept a minimum of 12 inches away from the edges of the drilled hole. Temporary yokes and walers shall remain the property of the Contractor. The magnitude of applied test loads shall be determined with a calibrated pressure gauge or a load cell.
Movements of the end of the tieback, relative to an independent fixed reference point, shall be measured and recorded to the nearest 0.001 inch at each load increment during the load tests. The Contractor shall perform the measuring and recording and shall furnish the Engineer copies of the recorded movements.
A minimum of 2 tiebacks shall be performance tested. The Engineer shall determine the location of the tiebacks to be performance tested.
The performance test or proof test shall be conducted by measuring the test load applied to the tieback and the tieback end movement during incremental loading and unloading of the anchor in accordance with the loading schedule. The test load shall be held constant for 10 minutes. During the test load hold, the movement of the end of the tendon shall be measured at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 10 minutes. If the total movement between one minute and 10 minutes exceeds one mm, the test load shall be held for an additional 50 minutes. Total movement shall be measured at 15, 20, 25, 30, 45, and 60 minutes. If the test load is held for 60 minutes, a creep curve showing the creep movement between one minute and 60 minutes shall be plotted as a function of the logarithm of time.

Subject: Geotechnical Evaluation, Soldier Pile Stitch Wall Design for Protection of Santa Rita Road adjacent to Landslide on Private Property (2929 Salvino Court), Richmond, California .
Dear Mr. Chavarria:
This letter presents results of our Geotechnical Evaluation for construction of a Soldier Pile Wall at Santa Rita Road adjacent to 2929 Salvino Court, in the El Sobrante area of Richmond, California.
Questa has been performing monitoring of the landslide activity for the City of Richmond Public Works Division since February 1, 2023. During the winter and spring storms of 2023, a small bank failure area along Wilkie Creek has expanded to include a large portion of the property at 2929 · Salvino Court and adjacent properties, including City property located along Santa Rita Road (Photographs 1 to 8). The landslide area is currently covered in plastic sheeting to protect it from the direct affects of rainfall and to minimize the amount of infiltration into the landslide deposit (Photographs 9 to 17). The expanded slope failure area is currently threatening to extend into Santa Rita Road (Photographs 13 and 16).
GEOTECHNICAL EVALUATION
Questa performed a geotechnical evaluation including the completion of five Triggs Dynamic Cone Penetrometer test holes to evaluate the strength of the materials present in the landslide area. Two of the holes, T-1 and T-4, were completed in the area of the proposed Soldier Pile Stitch Wall adjacent to Santa Rita Road as shown on Figure 1. Three additional holes were completed in the slide deposit area including two at the toe near the Creek (T-2 and T-3) and one (T-5) in the deep pit below the main failure area. Samples of the soils were also collected in order to pe1form physical properties testing the materials.
Dynamic Cone Penetrometer Test Holes
We perf01med the subsurface investigation for th~ proposed Soldier Pile Stitch Wall by completi01.Yof five Dynan1ic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) holes Ujing the Triggs Wildcat system. The, Triggs W'ild~at utilizes a 35-pound hammer to drive a 1.4 inch diameter cone tip connected by steel rods. No drilling is pe1formed during the testing. The Triggs Wilde.at DCP data is in blows per 4 inches (10 cm), which is equivalent to the Standard Penetration Test which utilizes a 140-pound han1mer dropped from 30 inches and provides blow counts per 12 inches, which is known as the N-value. The N-value. is Box 70356, 1220 Brickyard Cove Rd. Suite 206 Pt. Richmond, CA 94807 T: 510/236.6114 F: 510/236.2423 E: [email protected] May 30, 2023
