Gentlemen:
We areleased to respond to
P p your Request for Proposals for evaluation
and recommended reinforcement of the City's two 2.0 million gallon water
tanks and their foundation systems. We have assembled the highly
qualified team of H.J. Degenkolb Associates, Engineers and Harding
• Lawson Associates, Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicists.
H.J. Degenkolb Associates, with forty-five years of experience in
structural engineering, has maintained an active interest in all aspects
of earthquake engineering, an interest that has taken us to all parts of
the world to personally examine earthquake effects on structures of all
types, including fluid storage tanks. Our foundation design experience •
{" goes well beyond the normal foundation design associated with buildings.
It has included shoring and bracing of deep excavations and exposed
embankments, special underpinning, heavy machinery foundations and
; �; protection of buildings against effects of tunneling.
`ii:
As background information, we are attaching a copy of our mini-brochure
and our supplements, "Experience in Earthquake Engineering", "Summary of
M... Experience - Steel Fluid Storage Tanks" and "Summary - Shoring and Deep
Excavation Projects".
Our firm has worked closely with Harding Lawson Associates on a number
of projects. As geotechnical engineers, they have had a great deal of
experience in connection with liquid storage tanks and have provided
services on many projects in Santa Clara County. Of particular
' . significance is their evaluation and recommendations for remedial work
for protection of the water supply tanks at the IBM Santa Teresa
Laboratory, San Jose in 1978. The experience and qualifications of
Harding Lawson Associates are presented in the attached brochure.

• SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE IN EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING
H.J. DEGENKOLB ASSOCIATES, ENGINEERS
fl.7. Degenkolb Associates has been practicing structural engineering for
forty years, including the design of buildings of all types, utilizing
all of the normal used materials of construction. Our prime objective
is to serve our clients in the highest possible degree of
professionalism, providing the best advice and the most appropriate
design in a timely manner to meet agreed upon schedules. To that end,
each project comes under the direct supervision of one of the Principals
of the firm from the beginning to the completion of the work.
From the beginning of its practice, the firm has had a very strong
interest in earthquake engineering, based on an awareness that designing •
with an understanding of the performance of materials and of building
response to seismic activity will produce structures with a much lower
. exposure to personal injury or property damage. That philosophy has led
to a continuing program of self-education in the field of earthquake
engineering, including world-wide on-site observations and evaluation of
every earthquake of significance to modern construction since the 1952
earthquake in Kern County, California, up to and including the 1985
Mexico City earthquake. Over the years, the firm has been in the
forefront in the advancement of the "state-of-the-art" techniques
including the application of "dynamic analysis" procedures and the
development of seismic resistant structural systems. Particular
expertise has been developed in the area of computer applications to
problems of structural analysis and earthquake engineering.
Throughout its history, our firm has prepared seismic evaluations for
major institutions, such as the University of California, the United
;44i.:2!J . States Navy, Pacific Telephone, IBM, the State of California, the
45'W; General Services Administration, and the Veterans Administration. The
'•;q< ultimate goal .of a seismic evaluation program is to reduce hazards which
have been disclosed to an acceptable level of risk. Normally, the first
consideration is to minimize the exposure to personal injury and provide
0 for life safety. However, in the case of hospitals, certain functions,
!: , such as computer facilities, and emergency buildings, it is often
.f ;i important to provide an even higher level of performance in order to
maintain their crucial functions in a time of natural disaster. In
•
?. - recent years, there has been a greatly increased interest in damage
:'= control and bracing of equipment and non-structural items in.order to
"painimize business interruption and maintain operations that are critical

Experience of H.J. Degenkolb Associates in the broad field of earthquake
engineering is extensive in the following general areas:
I
1. Design of earthquake resistant buildings.
2. Development and review of building codes.
1 3. Investigation of earthquake damage.
4. Seismic risk-evaluations of buildings and other structures.
•
•
5. Seismic investigations, studies and reports.
i 6. Seismic strengthening of existing buildings and systems.
The strength of the firm lies in the in-depth experience of its
4i professional staff. Henry Degenkolb, a member of the National Academy
of Engineering, has served as a consultant on earthquake matters to the
U.S. Office of Science and Technology, and has been a member of the
State of California's Seismic Safety Commission as well as the U.S.
Geological Survey's Earthquake Studies Advisory Panel. Mr. Degenkolb
• and staff members are active in the Earthquake Engineering Research
Institute and the Seismological Society of America, and have presented
numerous professional papers on earthquake engineering at meetings of
these and other professional societies.
r Euilding Design -
¢ The design of earthquake resistant buildings is based on structural
• - engineering criteria that are entirely different from those used for
'- ' other structures. Earthquake resistant design must deal with
exceedingly complex dynamic forces, and must develop structural
capabilities to withstand deformations and stress levels beyond
code-stipulated elastic limits. While controlled by building codes as a
minimum requirement, earthquake resistant design is largely dependent
kA:. upon the experience and judgment of the structural engineer. The
V:: p mary consideration in earthquake resistant design is one of life
*; ,,; safety. However, protection against property damagebuilding
' Ss';;' interruption should be commensurate with the Own 's understanding, the
'Vt'"' use of the building and costs necessary to mitigate the potential loss.

• Henry Degenkolb was a member of the Joint Committee on Lateral Forces,
which was established in 1948 to evaluate the current understanding of
wind and earthquake forces and to draft model provisions for building
codes in California. The work performed by that committee became the
basis for the Recommended Lateral Force Requirements of the Structural
Engineers Association of California. These requirements have been
adopted by the Uniform Building Code, and have formed the basis for
earthquake codes throughout the world. •
•
That document has been under constant review, and members of the
Degenkolb firm have been active in this work. The firm's President,
Thomas D. Wosser, served on the California committee from 1972 through
1974, and Vice President, Loring A. Wyllie, Jr. , served from 1975
• ' .' through 1977.
Further participation bymembers of the firm in the development of
��•. P P<, building code provisions has been through numerous technical
affiliations. Henry Degenkolb is a member of the Building Standards
Commission and the Board of Examiners ( a code appeal board) of the City
of San Francisco, and an active participant in the Committee on
a Standards of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Loring Wyllie is
I° a member of Committee 318 of the American Concrete Institute, which
maintains the code for concrete construction in the United States and
other parts of the world. Tom Wosser is a member of ASCE's Executive
Committee for the Technical Council on Codes and Standards. Members of
the firm also have been active in other code efforts, including the
Building Code Committee of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce,
California's Building Code,Advisory Board of Historic Structures and the
development of ATC-3. The firm also has been involved in developing new
high-rise-building fire safety requirements for the State of California.

Seismic Risk Evaluations -
The evaluation of the structural safety of existing buildings, with
,; . major emphasis on earthquake resistance, is a significant part of the
• :t; practice of H.J. Degenkolb Associates. While many seismic risk
{• evaluations focus on the life safety aspects of structural performance,
1; for certain facilities it is appropriate to consider the effects on
-.: non-structural elements, some of which may be life threatening or their
continued performance following an earthquake is essential. The nature
#' of seismic risk evaluations can vary considerably, from a simple review
itof the building with a subjective report based upon the engineer's
experience through a detailed evaluation of design drawings and up to
.1.2.. completely independent analysis, possibly using dynamic response
4, procedures with in-depth studies of seismicity of the site and
14: probabilities of occurrence of earthquakes of various magnitudes.
This last procedure is often referred to as a Seismic Risk Analysis.
'' A Seismic Risk Analysis attempts to identify the level of risk of a
'h . particular building or structure with respect to its seismic
1`' environment. The analysis has two major components:
yt/, , 1. The seismicity of the given locale must be established in terms of
; %. the probability of occurrence, within a given time period, of
1,7 earthquakes which will yield specific ground motions at the given •
`i '} site. There are many variables which must be considered, including
, �'. relative locations of the site and affecting faults, length of
i''.
4•'a:
I J..

EXHIBIT "B"
`, N.J.Degenkoib Associates,Engineers
;!14-
active faults, historic rate of occurrence of earthquakes of
various sizes on those faults, geology between the faults and the
site and soil conditions at the site. The seismicity study
/1,0 identifies buildings response spectra for design or evaluation, in
addition to,projecting the probability of occurrence of earthquakes
yielding specific ground motion.
ktiA.; 2. The capacity of the given structure to resist earthquake-induced
.t j ' forces must be evaluated to establish significant response ,,levels,
w,'1 usually significant first yielding (the threshold of damage) and
then the estimated level of a collapse mechanism. There are many
til variables and many assumptions that enter into the evaluation
ab: process, which normally relates the structural capacity at those
•''`" defined levels to a peak ground acceleration.
>.: Given the results of the seismicity study and the seismic resisting
capacity of the structure, the two analyses can be combined to
yield the probabilities of the specific building suffering
r.•'r,
earthquake-induced damage or earthquake-induced collapse over a
given period of time.
Damage Prediction -
Damage prediction is becoming an important aspect of seismic evaluation.
%" '` rP
,Industrial complexes, large corporations, financial. institutions, and
P 8
various governmental agencies desire to know their exposure to damage in
order to properly evaluate the impact earthquakes will have on their
operations. While structural engineers generally are confident in
. p;% statements regarding life safety aspects of seismic evaluation, because
•'t: of observations of earthquake damage, we must maintain skepticism in our
•; ability to predict damage for the same reason. Despite the constant
advances in analytical techniques, the added insight from research work,
IV and the lessons learned from actual earthquakes, the structural
engineering community is still a long way from analytically correlating
the building damage observed with the earthquake characteristics
measured.
;,.f Damage prediction for a given facility is by far the most difficult task
of any seismic evaluation. In order to reduce the uncertainty as much
as possible, consideration must be given to the local site conditions,
proximity to active faults, effects of various source mechanisms,
{ effects of focusing, direction of the strong motion propagation, degree
of soil/structural coupling, as well as all the variables associated
'�. with structural response. The lack of correlation that exists between
# observed damage and damaged predicted by simple techniques demands
recognition that there is more to damage prediction than response
spectra, mode shapes and the allowable capacity of elements as we design
? them for new construction. A proper evaluation of performance of
.. existing structures requires consideration of the strength and toughness
of the available elements even if they are not permitted by the building
%i4 codes. Accuracy is often limited because of the lack of performance
information regarding outdated building materials and techniques.

SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE — STEEL FLUID STORAGE TANKS
Washwater Tank, Balboa Water Treatment Plant -
A.J. Degenkolb Associates was an integral part of the team which
evaluated the effects of the 1971 San Fernando Earthquake on the
Balboa Water Treatment Plant. The washwater tank, a steel tank 100
feet in diameter and 36 feet high, suffered buckling of portions of
-'%' the tank and anchor bolt failure. The damage resulted from the
vertical and horizontal forces induced by sloshing of the water
caused by the ground motion.
• Auxiliary Fuel Oil Storage Tank - Sandia National Laboratories, Livermore -
.�l
H.J. Degenkolb Associates prepared a report "The Effects of the
Livermore Earthquakes of January 1980 on Sandia Laboratories",
;;. which included evaluation of the performance of the auxiliary fuel
oil storage tank. The steel tank, 25 feet in diameter and 48 feet
high, developed a nearly complete "elephant's foot" buckle at the
base and suffered failure of all of the anchor bolts.
The firm subsequently prepared design documents and provided
