2 & 213 Elwyn Palmer E. Seneca Street, Ithaca, Y Consulting Engineers, PLLC T F July 7, 2015 Mr. Greg Hartz Tompkins Trust Company 121 East Seneca Street Ithaca, Y Re: Subsurface Investigation Report Tompkins Financial ew Headquarters and Drive Through Sites East Seneca Street Ithaca, Y Dear Mr. Hartz: This report will summarize the findings of a subsurface investigation that was performed at 118 and 119 East Seneca Street during May and June This report includes a description of the work performed, a discussion of the findings, and our recommendations for foundation design. A. SCOPE OF WORK The scope of work included advancing two soil borings at 119 East Seneca Street for construction of a new drive through teller building and five borings at 118 East Seneca Street for construction of a new corporate headquarters building. Site plans showing the location of the borings are attached in the Appendix. Logs of each boring are included in the Appendix. The findings of the subsurface investigation and our recommendations for foundation design will be discussed in this report. B. SITE AD PROJECT DESCRIPTIO The project involves construction of a new single-story wood or light-gauge metal framed Drive-Through Teller building to be located in the current parking area beneath the existing office building at 119 East Seneca Street. The project also includes construction of a new seven-story steel-framed headquarters building at the site of the existing Trust Company drive through teller building at 118 East Seneca Street. This building will include a basement level that will be located ft below grade. The sites are both very relatively flat with the majority of both sites currently asphalt paved parking area. We understand significant grade change is not planned at either site. C. SUBSURFACE FIDIGS Soil borings were advanced using hollow stem augers. Split-spoon soil samples were taken in accordance with ASTM D1586. Site plans showing the boring locations is attached. Boring logs for each of the borings are attached. Borings B1 and B2 (ew Drive Through) were advanced to a depth of 20 ft at the site of the proposed new drive through teller building at 119 East Seneca Street. Both borings encountered 6 inches of asphalt pavement underlain by fill consisting of sand, gravel, cobbles, Page 1 of 5

3 E & P and brick fragments to a depth of approximately 6.5-8ft. Below this level the borings encountered primarily medium dense sand and gravel with occasional cobbles to a depth of approximately 15 ft. Between 15 and 20 ft we encountered primarily loose to medium dense fine to coarse sand and fine gravel. Groundwater was encountered in both borings at a depth of approximately 15 ft. Five borings (B1-B5) were advanced at the site of the proposed new headquarters building at 118 East Seneca Street to depths of ft. The five borings encountered similar subsurface conditions. The borings encountered 5-8 ft of medium dense fill typical of that found in urban areas and consisting of gravel, sand, brick, coal cinders, asphalt, and some organic material. The fill was underlain by moist brown sand and silt of medium consistency that also contained occasional amounts of gravel, cobbles and peat to a depth of ft. Below ft we encountered moist to wet loose fine to coarse sand with occasional silt seams and amounts of peat. The -values for this material ranged from 3 to 20 with the majority being less than 10. Beginning at a depth of between 55 and 60 ft the material becomes denser and consists of coarse sand and gravel with varying amounts of silt. The material continues to become denser with depth and below 65 ft becomes very hard and includes shale fragments. Borings were terminated between 75 and 80 ft. Groundwater levels were measured in each boring. Measurements were taken when groundwater was first encountered, at completion of drilling, and after drilling augers were removed from the borehole. Based on a review of the measurements, standing groundwater for the site is estimated to be ft below grade. One important finding to note is that near the northeast corner of the site boring B2ABC at auger refusal was reached after encountering concrete and the boring was move. The boring was ultimately moved 4 times with the boring completed as boring B2D. In B2A, B2B, and B2c refusal on concrete was encountered at depths of 7.2, 4, and 10.8 ft, respectively. We were not able to confirm the reason for concrete in this location and discussions with the Owner s representative revealed no known previous structures in that area. This concrete may be an issue during construction of the new building. D. GEOTECHICAL EGIEERIG AALYSIS We have completed an analysis of both sites for the proposed building construction. At the site of the proposed new drive through building the subsurface soils at the site of the proposed new buildings are primarily medium to dense sands and gravels to a depth of 15 ft with looser material beneath this depth. Based on the proposed building being single story and of light construction we believe this proposed structure can be supported on conventional shallow foundations and the proposed concrete floor may be constructed as a concrete slab-on-grade provided they are constructed in accordance with the recommendations detailed below. Foundations for the new drive through building shall bear on sound natural subgrade that is approved by the Engineer or a qualified representative. In fill areas the subgrade shall be approved prior to fill placement and structural fill shall be compacted in accordance with the recommendations included in this report. Page 2 of 5

4 E & P For the new headquarters building our analysis has determined that a deep foundation system will be required to support the large loads generated by a seven story building. In addition, the new headquarters building includes a basement that will be located ft below grade which is only several feet from where the subsurface soils become loose in consistency and likely to settle under application of significant loads. We would recommend end bearing piles that would extend down to approximately ft below the current ground elevation. The borings have shown the material encountered at and below this depth to be very competent which will allow each pile to support significant loads. Due to the depth of excavation at this site and the compact site there will need to be a support of excavation plan created to allow excavation to the required depths and protection of adjacent structures and property. Also, dewatering of the site may be required to maintain a dry working area during construction of the basement. E. SEISMIC DESIG Based on the soils encountered in the borings, the project sites can be classified as Seismic Site Class D according to the current edition of the Building Code of ew York State. The subsurface exploration did not reveal soils vulnerable to liquefaction or collapse under seismic loading. F. RECOMMEDATIOS Based on the results of the subsurface investigation and engineering analyses, we have the following recommendations: Site Preparation and Excavation 1. Clear, grub, and strip topsoil and remove significant root structures within new construction areas. Remove any remnants of any existing abandoned structures encountered from within the new footprint. 2. In areas where fill is required, compact subgrade before placing fill by making at least 4 overlapping passes in perpendicular directions with a self-propelled roller weighing at least 30,000 lbs. Soft or uncompactable areas should be excavated and replaced with granular structural fill approved by the Engineer. The structural fill should be placed to at least 95% of the maximum dry density as determined in accordance with ASTM D All excavation should be performed in accordance with all OSHA and other applicable safety standards. 4. Dewatering operations should be configured to route surface runoff and groundwater away from site and out of the excavation. Operations shall conform to applicable environmental regulations. Page 3 of 5

5 E & P 5. When structural fill is required beneath foundations it shall consist of an engineered mix of crushed ledge rock conforming to the following gradation: Sieve Size Percent Passing ½ # # # Foundation Design and Construction-ew Drive Through Building 1. The foundations for the proposed new drive through building should bear on stable natural subgrade or compacted select fill that is approved by the Engineer. Foundations shall be set not less than 4 ft below finished grade to provide protection against frost. 2. Foundation subgrade to be free of loose or disturbed material. The loose soil at subgrade level should be compacted during a dry period prior to placing of forms. 3. Foundations for the proposed new building may be sized using an allowable bearing pressure of 1500 psf. 4. The slab on grade shall be placed on 8 inches of compacted select material. The subgrade below the select material shall be proofrolled in accordance with the above recommendations on Site Preparation. The slab should be reinforced against cracking in accordance with ACI design standards. Concrete slab-on-grade shall be designed using a modulus of subgrade reaction of 150 pci. 5. Minimum width of column footings to be 30 inches, minimum width of wall footings to be 24 inches. 6. We anticipate total and differential settlements of less than 1 and ½ inch, respectively for these foundations. 7. Select granular fill for beneath the slab shall be clean bank run gravel conforming to the following gradation: Sieve Size Percent Passing ¼ # Foundation Design and Construction- ew Headquarters Building 1. The recommended foundation system for the proposed new headquarters building. The system would consist of end bearing piles supported in the dense material located approximately ft below existing grade. We recommend that the basement slab be a structural slab. 2. The piles should be tested by and experienced and reputable testing company to confirm and ultimate pile capacity of twice the intended service load for the pile. Page 4 of 5

6 E & P 3. We recommend drainage and a waterproofing system for the basement walls. The borings have shown that groundwater may be at levels above the proposed basement floor level. The contractor should be prepared for dewatering during construction. 4. A support of excavation plan (SOE) prepared and stamped by a YS professional engineer will be required for this project. The SOE system will allow excavation to the required depths with near vertical side slopes and prevent damage to the adjacent buildings and property. H. CLOSIG Elwyn & Palmer has prepared this report based on our interpretation of the subsurface conditions at the project sites and our understanding of the proposed project. Changes in scope, location, structure type, or loads should be brought to our attention for review to allow us to make changes as necessary to the recommendations provided.

11 E & P BORIG LOGS

12 E & P General Information and Key to Subsurface Logs The subsurface logs attached to this report present the observations and mechanical data collected by the driller at the site, supplemented by classification of the material removed from the boring as determined through visual identification by technicians in the laboratory. It is cautioned that the materials removed form the borings represent only a fraction of the total volume of the deposits at the site and may not necessarily be representative of the subsurface conditions between adjacent borings or between sampled intervals. The data presented on the subsurface logs together with the recovered samples will provide basis for evaluating the character of the subsurface conditions relative to the project. The evaluation must consider all the recorded details and their significance relative to each other. Often analyses of standard boring data indicate the need for additional testing or sampling procedures to more accurately evaluate the subsurface conditions. Any evaluation of the contents of this report and the recovered samples must be performed by Professionals. The information presented in the following list defines some of the procedures and terms used on the subsurface logs to describe the conditions encountered. 1. The figures in the depth column define the scale of the subsurface log. 2. The sample column shows the depth range from which the sample was recovered. The sample type column will show an S for split spoon sample, a T for a tube sample and a C for a rock core sample. 3. The sample number is used for identification o n sample containers and in laboratory reports. 4. The Blows on Sampler column shows results of the Standard Penetration Tests and indicates the number of blows required to drive a split spoon sampler into the soil. The number of blows required for each six inches of penetration is recorded. The first six inches of penetration is considered the seating drive. The number of blows required for the second and third six inches of penetration is termed the penetration resistance,. The sampler diameter, hammer weight, and length of drop are noted on the log. 5. All recovered soil samples are reviewed in the laboratory by an engineering technician, geologist, or geotechnical engineer unless noted otherwise. The visual descriptions are made on the basis of a combination of the driller s field descriptions and observations and the sample as viewed in the laboratory. The method of visual classification is based primarily on the Unified Soil Classification System (ASTM D2487) with regard to particle size and plasticity. The relative portion by weight by weight of tow or more soil types is described for granular soils in accordance with Suggested Methods of Test for Identification of Soils by D.M. Burmister (ASTM Special Technical Publication o. 479, June 1970). The description of relative soil density or consistency is based on Penetration Test results. The description of soil moisture is based upon relative wetness of the soil as recovered and is described as dry, damp, moist, wet, and saturated. The presence of boulders and large gravel is sometimes, but not necessarily, detected by an evaluation of sampler blows or the behavior of the drill rig. 6. The description of rock is based on the recovered rock core and the driller s observations. 7. The stratification lines present the approximate boundary between soil types. Actual boundaries may vary between sampling intervals and the transition may be gradual. Solid stratification lines are based on the driller s field observations. 8. Miscellaneous observations and procedures noted by the driller are shown on the logs, including water level observations. It is important to realize the reliability of the water level observations depends upon the soil type (water does not readily stabilize in a hole through fine grained soils) and that drill water used to advance the boring may influence the observations. The groundwater level typically will fluctuate seasonally. One or more perched or trapped water levels may exist in the ground seasonally. All the available readings should be evaluated. If definite conclusion cannot be made, it may be necessary to examine the conditions more thoroughly through test pit excavations or observation wells. 9. The length of rock core run is defined as the length of penetration of the core barrel. Core recovery is the length of core recovered divided by the core run. The RQD (Rock Quality Designation) is the total pieces of X core exceeding 4 inches in length divided by the core run. Fresh, irregular or drilling induced breaks are ignored and the pieces counted as intact lengths. RQD values are valid only for X size cores (2.125 diameter). The barrel size is noted in the logs.
