Protection of the blocks from construction vehicles and traffic from local access detours is the Contractor's responsibility. Damage to load-bearing surfaces shall be limited to less than 20% of the equivalent load bearing area of the unit. Geofoam exposed on the face of embankments prior to embankment completion and prior to permanent shotcrete facing installation shall be protected from damage and vandalism. Temporary crash barriers shall be installed to prevent vehicles operating adjacent to the embankment from impacting the geofoam. 228`" UPRR Bridge &Roadway Ph 5/Smith &Madfai 8 - 44 March 22, 2019 Project Number: 07-3022 Geofoam blocks damaged during transit, handling, storage, or by the Contractor's operations shall be replaced by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Contracting Agency. 8-33.3(5) Subgrade Preparation Underlying material shall be rough graded in accordance with Section 2-03 to provide a level surface for blocks. Remove sticks, debris, and pieces protruding more than 2 inches above the graded surface. Place a leveling pad of crushed surfacing top course as shown in the Plans. At the time of placement, there shall be no standing water or accumulated snow or ice on the subgrade within the area where geofoam blocks are placed. 8-33.3(6) Geosynthetic-Reinforced Embankment Behind Geofoam Stepped embankments behind the geofoam fill shall be constructed with geosynthetic layers in accordance with the Plans and these specifications. Geosynthetic reinforcement shall also meet the strength required for stability during construction, as determined by the Contractor. 8-33.3(7) Installation Geofoam Type, as defined in ASTM D6817, relative to depth below the top surface geofoam shown in the Plans shall be as shown in Table 8- 33.4. Higher geofoam grades than indicated are allowed, but there will be no increase in payment: Table 8-33.4 Minimum Required Geofoam Type Between Walls SW2 and SW 3 All Other (Interurban Trail) Locations Depth from Top of Minimum Required Minimum Required Geofoam Block Fill Geofoam Type Geofoam Type Feet 0 - 2.0 EPS29 EPS29 > 2.0 EPS15 EPS29 The block layout shall be designed so that the following general design details are taken into account: A. Within a given layer of blocks, the vertical joints between the adjacent ends of blocks within a given row of blocks must be offset to the greatest extent practicable relative to blocks in adjacent rows. The minimum offset of blocks placed in adjacent rows of the same layer shall be 2.0 feet. 228`h UPRR Bridge & Roadway Ph 5/Smith & Madfai 8 - 45 March 22, 2019 Project Number: 07-3022 B. In order to avoid continuous joints, each subsequent layer of blocks shall be rotated on the horizontal plane 90 degrees from the direction of placement of the previous layer placed. C. The longitudinal axes of blocks for layers above and/or below a given layer must be perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of blocks within that given later f 2 degrees. Minimum thickness of any geofoam block layer is 2.0 feet. The exception is where the depth of geofoam is less than 4 feet, minimum block layer thickness shall be 1.1 feet. Adjust geofoam block dimensions to meet plan excavation, and the geometry and elevations for roadway subgrade, load distribution slab, retaining walls, and the geowall traffic barrier (moment slabs). Blocks used at the top or bottom surfaces of embankments may be trimmed to less than the minimum thickness and have edge angles deviating from 90 degrees as necessary to match the design roadway profile, cross-slopes, and horizontal alignment. Field and/or shop trimming and cutting will be required as necessitated by the geometry of the fill being constructed. The surface of a layer of geofoam blocks to receive additional geofoam blocks shall be constructed with a variation in surface tolerance of no more than 0.05 feet in any 10-foot interval. All blocks shall accurately fit relative to adjacent blocks. No gaps greater than 0.05 feet will be allowed on vertical joints. The surface of the geofoam fill beneath the load distribution slab shall be constructed to within the tolerance of zero to minus 0.2 feet. Horizontal layers of geofoam blocks shall be bonded to the next geofoam layer above (and below) with either connectors or adhesive. A. Adhesive shall be a urethane or polyurethane adhesive compatible for use with EPS geofoam and approved by the geofoam manufacturer. The adhesive shall be applied with continuous beads of adhesive spaced no greater than 18 inches apart. Adhesive shall be applied and cured in accordance with the geofoam manufacturer's recommendations. Adhesive joints shall develop a minimum of 12.3 psi shear strength in accordance with ASTM D 732 test procedures. Additional shear strength may be required for geofoam adjacent to shotcrete facing or adjacent to embankment backfill for constructability. B. Connector plates shall be galvanized steel multi-barbed plates with a lateral holding strength of at least 60 pounds when tested with EPS15 geofoam. A minimum of 2 connectors for each 4-foot x 8-foot area of geofoam shall be installed, or as recommended by the Manufacturer. Additional connectors for shear strength may be required for geofoam adjacent to shotcrete facing or adjacent embankment backfill for constructability. Connectors shall be installed by pressing firmly into the rigid foam until the connector is flush with the surface. The next geofoam block shall be placed and seated firmly before placing subsequent blocks. 2281" UPRR Bridge&Roadway Ph 5/Smith &Madfai 8 - 46 March 22, 2019 Project Number: 07-3022 Installation of the geofoam shall comply with the submitted Working Drawings. Geofoam blocks shall be cut using a hot wire. Where it is not possible to use a hot wire, a saw may be used. Blocks shall not be placed above blocks in which ice has developed on the surface. Contractor shall comply with the Manufacturer's instructions for handling, seaming and placing materials. It is the Contractor's responsibility to protect and stabilize the geofoam during construction, providing temporary ballast, bracing, guying, or other restraint, until all the blocks are built into a homogeneous mass and the roadway section and shotcrete facing are in place. Voids around pipes and conduits penetrating the geofoam may be filled with clean sand or crushed surfacing rock material suitable for filling the voids, unless otherwise shown in the Plans and Specifications. Voids or the annulus space around pipes or conduits shall not exceed 4 inches thickness (measured radially). The gaps between the geofoam and geosynthetic layers behind the geofoam shall be filled with clean sand or crushed surfacing rock material suitable for filling the gaps. Maximum particle size shall be 1/2 inch. Contractor shall coordinate details of the geofoam to receive shotcrete facing with his shotcrete subcontractor. Geofoam installation at retaining walls to receive shotcrete facing shall have sufficient horizontal strength to support the lateral and any vertical forces caused by the application of shotcrete. Layout of geofoam blocks, connections between geofoam blocks, and connectors for support of welded wire fabric in the shotcrete facing shall be determined and coordinated by the Contractor. Details shall be included in the Working Drawing submittal. It is permissible to use rebar supports (dobies) on the top surface of the geofoam to support the reinforcing steel for the load distribution slab. Geofoam blocks having damage shall be handled as follows: A. Blocks with less than one cubic foot damaged and with less than 20 percent of the total volume of the block damaged will be considered undamaged. B. Blocks with more than one cubic foot but less than 36 cubic feet of damage may be filled with sand, provided the total damage does not exceed 20 percent of the total block volume. 2281h UPRR Bridge &Roadway Ph 5/Smith &Madfai 8 - 47 March 22, 2019 Project Number: 07-3022 C. Blocks with over 36 cubic feet of damage or more than 20 percent of the block volume damaged may not be used. Undamaged portions of blocks with this level of damage may be used where smaller blocks are required, provided that the entire damaged area is removed. 8-33.3(8) Geomembrane Geomembrane shall be placed at the sides, on top of, and below geofoam as shown in the Plans. Anchor geomembrane to geofoam with multi-barbed, galvanized steel geofoam block connectors.

Our staff has been working with Engineers, Designers and Contractors on EPS Geofoam projects for over 25 years. EPS Geofoam is a lightweight cellular plastic foam block used in geotechnical applications such as lightweight fill for construction on soft ground. Road embankment stability can be enhanced with a properly designed EPS Geofoam Blocks. Utilizing an interlocking stack of EPS Geofoam Blocks on a slide slope can greatly reduce horizontal movement and vertical loads. By placing EPS Geofoam Blocks directly behind retaining walls, bridge abutments or foundation walls results in a considerable reduction of lateral stress on the structure. This means less conventional materials to construct a new wall. In terms of Civil Engineering applications the use of"The EPS Geofoam Construction Method"typically translates to benefits that include Cost Effective Design, Reduced Traffic Congestion, Timely Construction Schedules and Real Dollar Savings in the overall cost of construction. The use of EPS Geofoam in engineered construction applications, is growing rapidly. EPS Geofoam Block Uses: EPS Geofoam has been successfully used in the following engineered applications: • Breams and Embankments Dikes and Levees Parking Structures • Bridge Approaches Foundations of Buildings Plaza and Residential Decks • Buried Utilities Protection Landscape Designs Railways and Runways • Compressible Inclusions Loading Docks and Ramps Retaining Walls EPS Geofoam Block Advantages Include: + Cost Effective Solution: The lightweight nature of EPS Geofoam Blocks can eliminate costly preloading, surcharging or staged construction. Given the light weight of EPS Geofoam Blocks, the need for heavy earth moving and compact equipment can be reduced or even eliminated, compared to conventional fills. On projects where poor access or rough terrains are a cost issue, EPS Geofoam Blocks can be transported, moved and placed faster than conventional fills, saving the project time and money. -I- Dependable: EPS Geofoam Blocks are manufactured in our modern manufacturing facility, with state-of-the-art equipment. This assures consistent physical properties in each individual Block that make up a typical EPS Geofoam fill system. Other lightweight fill materials such as tires, wood chips and foamed concrete can be varied and inconsistent in the make-up of their fill. This can result in a non-uniform load transfer, differential settlement, leachates and possible fire hazard. + Durable: High compressive strength makes EPS Geofoam Blocks durable and resistant to damage and shifting over time. -I- Environmentally Safe: EPS Geofoam contains no CFCs, HFC's, HCFC's, Dyes or formaldehyde. EPS is an inert and highly stable product that will not decay, decompose, or produce undesirable gases or leachates to the surrounding environment. EPS Geofoam Blocks are recyclable and safe for waste-to-energy (WTE) systems and landfills. -I- Insect and Mold Resistant: EPS Geofoam Blocks can be manufactured with an inert non-polluting additive that repels termites and carpenter ants. EPS Geofoam is inert, it does not sustain mold and or mildew growth. FMI-EPS, LLC 9465 N. McGuire Rd.

The lighter load reduces the settlement and increases the stability against bearing and slope failures. + Low Interface Friction: In direct shear tests the interface friction between sand and EPS Geofoam is comparable to the internal friction of sand alone. + Predictable and a Proven Performer: For over 35 years engineers, designers and contractors have been using EPS Geofoam Blocks worldwide. EPS Geofoam meets ASTM D6817, "Standard Specification for Rigid Cellular Polystyrene Geofoam." It is currently approved for use by numerous state Departments of Transportation (DOT), and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).We can assist you in determining what grade of EPS Geofoam Blocks will meet your project requirements. EPS Geofoam Blocks can stand up to all industry tests...and it has. + Maximize Onsite Installation Efficiency: EPS Geofoam Blocks arrive on the jobsite on your schedule, ready to be installed, NO weather delays. Other fill material such as wood chips, saw dust, foamed concrete and soil can be weather sensitive during installation, putting your project behind schedule. + No Maintenance: Under normal conditions, a project that uses EPS Geofoam Blocks requires no maintenance for the life of the project fill system. + Thermal Insulation: EPS Geofoam Blocks are 98-99% air by volume, making it a highly efficient thermal insulator. EPS Geofoam Block Product Features: + Adaptable: EPS Geofoam Blocks come precut from our plant, but they can be easily cut and or fabricated on the jobsite with a hot-wire cutter or a saw. + Custom Project Specific Sizes: EPS Geofoam Blocks, are manufactured to meet project specific requirements.

The EPS Geofoam Friction Plate is a 22 gauge galvanized steel, two-sided-barbed plate made in the USA. It is used to "lock in"or restrain the EPS Geofoam Blocks from moving horizontally between the layers of EPS Geofoam Fill. Its unique design keeps the block from shifting during inclement weather conditions, as well. The design of the Friction Plate (4"x 4")exhibits a lateral holding strength of approximately 60 lbs. All projects are unique in design and method.Therefore it is the responsibility of the designer/applicator to calculate the load requirements of the project for determining the proper number of Friction Plates needed. However a minimum of 1 plate for every 16 sq.ft. of EPS Geofoam Block surface is recommended. Installation: -F Place the EPS Geofoam Friction Plate as shown on plans and specifications. -f- Press firmly into the Geofoam Block until the plate is flush with the surface. (Use a 1"wooden dowel for cost-effective setting tool) f Position the top Geofoam Block as specified. • Walk on top of the block, setting it firmly downward before other work continues. • Repeat this procedure for each layer. • Remember to offset or stagger all vertical and horizontal joints of the EPS Geofoam Block Fill.

As a follow up to my 4/29 email below, attached are a PowerPoint file that contains photos of the Salmon Creek/ 1-5 Interchange project and two PDFs about the project (a Columbian newspaper article, the project flyer for FMI-EPS), all received from Steve Nelson. His contact info is below. I believe I've sent all of these previously to Mark, Randy and Lyle, but Susanne hasn't seen them. 2. I'd like to add that the drawings for the various geofoam walls for the Salmon Creek project (Volume 3 Plans) are challenging to follow. You have to focus on the Index of drawings at the front and wade through the Construction Staging drawings. I was hoping for an "easy" example at Walls W1 and W2, or Walls W7 and W8, which looked like they might be similar to our East Approach to the bridge. They're not. That's why I created the package of Wall W3 (goes with Walls W4, W12) for you. 3. For geofoam pricing, Lyle pointed out that the S 224th Street VE Study used $100 per CY for the geofoam. This fourth attachment (PDF) is PDF page 27 from that report. 4. Here's an email about geofoam pricing from Steve Nelson, the Geofoam vendor for FMI-EPS: (Sent 1/13/2016) Good Morning Joyce, Glad to provide you with photos and I will send some more, as I receive them from the plant. Thank you for the article on the Issaquah project and Brandon Cole's current employment. Did you get an opportunity to talk to him? Pricing in 2014, when oil was $100.00 per barrel, the price of EP5 Resin was $1.10 per pound plus freight to get it to our plant. Today Resin costs are currently $0.90 per pound plus freight. 5o for EP515 was about $8.00 more per CY in 2014 than it is right now. 1 EPS22 was about $12.00 more per CY in 2014 than it is right now. Resin Suppliers, BASF, Flint Hills and Nova are American Mfg.'s of EP5 Resin. We could buy cheaper bead from China, but our company will only buys American made products. Our Resin suppliers are saying the EPS Resin will move up and down in the $0.80 to $0.90 price range this year. The pricing (what I would quote a contactor) that I gave to you is FOB Kent, WA. It did not include the Contractors markup nor the labor to install it. Joyce, if you have any questions or need any other information please don't hesitate to contact me. Build A Great Day! A~ 67, �AFo� �)FlVl1-EPS,,E,; 3225 Eagleridge Way Bellingham, WA 98226 Ph: 206-550-3110 Email: steve@fmi-eps.com As noted in Steve's email, labor and General Contractor markup need to be added. As discussed previously, lighterweight geofoam costs less because uses less petroleum per volume. The lightest typical weight in roadway construction is EPS15, two levels lighter than the EPS22. I doubt that the Contractors will reduce the labor cost because the lighter geofoam should be easier to manhandle. So I think any savings would be due to lower material costs for the lighterweight EPS. GeoEngineers will need to run pavement type analyses to determine the required geofoam densities. At the top, I anticipate a layer of EPS22. It might be possible to use the lighterweight material one or more layers below that as the vertical loads are distributed laterally with depth.
