-2- <br /> 3. Excavate a series of test pits with a backhoe provided and <br /> operated by City personnel . <br /> 4. Observe test pit excavations and maintain continuous logs of <br /> soil and groundwater conditions encountered. Obtain represen- <br /> tative samples of major soil types, and return samples to our <br /> laboratory. <br /> 5. Test selected soil samples to determine moisture content, gra- <br /> dation, and compaction characteristics. <br /> 6. Based on field and laboratory test results, and our experi- <br /> ence, complete geotechnical analyses and develop design recom- <br /> mendations regarding: <br /> - temporary and permanent cut and fill slope configurations <br /> - site grading, including suitability of on site-soils for <br /> use in various fill areas of the project, expected need for <br /> moisture conditioning of soil prior to placement as fill , <br /> compaction requirements, shrink and bulk factors, expected <br /> settlement of fills, gradation for imported soil materials, <br /> and subsurface drains <br /> - suitable foundation types for park structures, maximum al - <br /> lowable design bearing pressures, and estimated associated <br /> settlements <br /> - lateral soil resistance values for design of light pole <br /> foundations <br /> - lateral earth pressures against retaining walls, and drain- <br /> age requirements <br /> - flexible pavement design sections for parking areas <br /> 7. Prepare six copies of a geotechnical design report (one report <br /> addressing both sites) summarizing the results of the field <br /> exploration, laboratory testing, analyses, and design recom- <br /> mendations. <br />
