1 <br /> review our interpretations and recommendations and provide written modifications or confirmation, as <br /> appropriate. <br /> Subsurface Conditions can Change <br /> ' This geotechnical or geologic report is based on conditions that existed at the time the study was performed. <br /> The findings and conclusions of this report may be affected by the passage of time, by manmade events such <br /> as construction on or adjacent to the site, or by natural events such as floods, earthquakes, slope instability <br /> or groundwater fluctuations. Always contact GeoEngineers before applying a report to determine if it remains <br /> applicable. <br /> Most Geotechnicai and Geologic Findings are Professional Opinions <br /> Our interpretations of subsurface conditions are based on field observations from widely spaced sampling <br /> locations at the site. Site exploration identifies subsurface conditions only at those points where subsurface <br /> tests are conducted or samples are taken. GeoEngineers reviewed field and laboratory data and then applied <br /> our professional judgment to render an opinion about subsurface conditions throughout the site. Actual <br /> subsurface conditions may differ, sometimes significantly, from those indicated in this report. Our report, <br /> conclusions and interpretations should not be construed as a warranty of the subsurface conditions. <br /> Geotechnical Engineering Report Recommendations are not Final <br /> Do not over-rely on the preliminary construction recommendations included in this report. These <br /> recommendations are not final, because they were developed principally from GeoEngineers' professional <br /> ' judgment and opinion. GeoEngineers' recommendations can be finalized only by observing actual subsurface <br /> conditions revealed during construction. GeoEngineers cannot assume responsibility or liability for this <br /> report's recommendations if we do not perform construction observation. <br /> ' Sufficient monitoring, testing and consultation by GeoEngineers should be provided during construction to <br /> confirm that the conditions encountered are consistent with those indicated by the explorations, to provide <br /> ' recommendations for design changes should the conditions revealed during the work differ from those <br /> anticipated, and to evaluate whether or not earthwork activities are completed in accordance with our <br /> recommendations. Retaining GeoEngineers for construction observation for this project is the most effective <br /> method of managing the risks associated with unanticipated conditions. <br /> A Geotechnical Engineering or Geologic Report Could Be Subject To Misinterpretation <br /> ' Misinterpretation of this report by other design team members can result in costly problems. You could lower <br /> that risk by having GeoEngineers confer with appropriate members of the design team after submitting the <br /> report. Also retain GeoEngineers to review pertinent elements of the design team's plans and specifications. <br /> Contractors can also misinterpret a geotechnical engineering or geologic report. Reduce that risk by having <br /> GeoEngineers participate in pre-bid and preconstruction conferences, and by providing construction <br /> observation. <br /> Do Not Redraw the Exploration Logs <br /> ' Geotechnical engineers and geologists prepare final boring and testing logs based upon their interpretation of <br /> field logs and laboratory data. To prevent errors or omissions,the logs included in a geotechnical engineering <br /> or geologic report should never be redrawn for inclusion in architectural or other design drawings.
