If the subauAece cbndiUona <br /> encountered durinp construcUon are aipniftcanUy diHeront from thoae obaerved (n our exploraUons, <br /> we should be advised at once so that we can review thsae condiUons and reconsider our <br /> recommendatlans where neceasary. Unanticipated soil condiUone are commonly encountered on <br /> constructlon sftes and cannot be fully anUGpated by meroly tak(ng aoil samplea in tast holes. <br /> Subsu�tace condiUons can also vary between exploradon IocaUons. Such unexpeded condiUons <br /> irequenGy require makinp addi8onal expendituree to eltefn a properfy constructed project It is <br /> recommended that th� ovmer consider providing a contlnpancy fund to accommodate auch <br /> potenUai exUa costs and risks. This is a stendard recommendaUon for all projects. <br /> This report has been prepared for the excfusive uae of the Thomas Jones and hia ropresenteUvea <br /> for specific applicaGon to this proJect and site. Our recommendaUons and conclu�fona are baaed <br /> on obaerved site materials, end selective laboratory tseUng and enpineariny analyses. Our <br /> conclusions and recommendatlona are profeas(onal opiniona derived in accordancs w(th current <br /> standards of pracUce within the scope of our services and with(n budpet and tlme consVaints.

We recommend Includiny this roport, In ita entlrety, in ths <br /> project conUact documents so the contractor may be aware of our findings. <br /> ADDITIONAL SERVICES <br /> In addition to reviewing the tinal plans, Geotech Consultants, Inc. should be retained to prov(de <br /> geotechnical consultatlon, testlng, and observaUon services during constructfon. This ia to conflrtn <br /> that subsuAace conditlons are consistent with those fndicated by our expioratlon, to evaluste <br /> whather earthwork and foundaUon consWctlon activitles comply with the (ntent of contract plana <br /> and specifications, and to provfde i�ecommendatlons tor design changes (n the event aubsurfacs <br /> conditions diBer from those andcipated prior to the start of consWctlon. However, our work would <br /> not include the supervision or direcLon of the actual work of the contractor and ita employses or <br /> agents.
