Compass Health <br />June 26, 2019 <br />A 19178 <br />Page 15 <br />LIMITATIONS <br />The conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are based on site conditions as <br />they existed at the time of our exploration and assume that the soil and groundwater conditions <br />encountered in the test borings are representative of subsurface conditions on the site. If the <br />subsurface conditions encountered during construction are significantly different from those <br />observed in our explorations, we should be advised at once so that we can review these conditions <br />and reconsider our recommendations where necessary. Unanticipated conditions are commonly <br />encountered on construction sites and cannot be fully anticipated by merely taking samples in test <br />borings. Subsurface conditions can also vary between exploration locations. Such unexpected <br />conditions frequently require making additional expenditures to attain a properly constructed <br />project. It is recommended that the owner consider providing a contingency fund to accommodate <br />such potential extra costs and risks. This is a standard recommendation for all projects. <br />This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Compass Health and its representatives, for <br />specific application to this project and site. Our conclusions and recommendations are professional <br />opinions derived in accordance with our understanding of current local standards of practice, and <br />within the scope of our services. No warranty is expressed or implied. The scope of our services <br />does not include services related to construction safety precautions, and our recommendations are <br />not intended to direct the contractor's methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures, except as <br />specifically described in our report for consideration in design. Our services also do not include <br />assessing or minimizing the potential for biological hazards, such as mold, bacteria, mildew and <br />fungi in either the existing or proposed site development. <br />ADDITIONAL SERVICES <br />In addition to reviewing the final plans, Geotech Consultants, Inc. should be retained to provide <br />geotechnical consultation, testing, and observation services during construction. This is to confirm <br />that subsurface conditions are consistent with those indicated by our exploration, to evaluate <br />whether earthwork and foundation construction activities comply with the general intent of the <br />recommendations presented in this report, and to provide suggestions for design changes in the <br />event subsurface conditions differ from those anticipated prior to the start of construction. However, <br />our work would not include the supervision or direction of the actual work of the contractor and its <br />employees or agents. Also, job and site safety, and dimensional measurements, will be the <br />responsibility of the contractor. <br />During the construction phase, we will provide geotechnical observation and testing services when <br />requested by you or your representatives. Please be aware that we can only document site work <br />we actually observe. It is still the responsibility of your contractor or on -site construction team to <br />verify that our recommendations are being followed, whether we are present at the site or not. <br />The scope of our work did not include an environmental assessment, but we can provide this <br />service, if requested. <br />GEOTECH CONSULTANTS, INC. <br />
