i Jordan Construction � JN 00284 July 25, 2000 Page 9 Structural fill that will be placed in wet weather should consist of a coarse, granular soil with a silt or ciay content of no more than 5 percent. The percentage of particles passing the No. 200 sieve should be measured from that portion of soil passing the three-quarter-inch sieve. LIMITATIONS The analyses, conclusions, and recommendations contained in this report are based on site conditions as they existed at the time of our expioration and assume that the soil and groundwater conditions encountered in the test pits are representative of subsurface conditions on the site. If the subsurface conditions encountered during construction are significantiy different from those observed in our explorations, we should be advised at once so that we can review these ccnditions i and reconsider our recommendatiuns where necessary. Unanticipated soil conditions are � commoniy encountered on construction sites and cannot be fuliy anticipated by merely taking soil samples in test pits. Subsurface conditions can also vary between exploration locations. Such � unexpected conditions frequently require making additional expenditures to attain a properly � constructed project. It is recommended that the owner consider providing a contingency fund to accommodate such potential extra costs and risks. This is a standard recommendation for all projects. The recommendations presented in this report are �irected toward the protection of only the proposed residence from damage due to slope movement. Predicting the future behavior of steep slopes and the potential effects of development on their stability is an inexact and imperfect science that is currently based mostly on the past oenavior of siopes wiin simiiar ciiaracieristiCs. Landslides and soil movement can occur on steep siopes before, during, or after the development of property. At additional cost, we can provide recommendations for reducing the risk of future movement on the steep slopes, which could involve regrading the slopes or installing subsurface drains or costly retaining structures. However, the owner must ultimately accept the possibility that some slope movement -ould occur, resulting in possible loss of ground or damage to the facilities around the proposed building residence. This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Jordan Construction Company, and its representatives, for specific application to this project and site. Our recommendations and conclusions are based on observed site materials, and selective laboratory testing and engineering analyses. Our conclusions and recommendations are professional opinions derived in accordance with current standards of practice within the scope of our services and within budget and time constraints. No warranty is expressed or implied. The scope of our services does not include services related to construction safety precautions, and our recommendations are not intended to direct the coritractor's methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures, excep? as specifically described in our report for consideration in design. ADDITIONAL SERVICES In addition to reviewing the final plans, Geotech Consultants, Inc. should be retained to provide geotechnical consulta?ion, testing, and observation services during construction. This is to confirm that subsurface conditions are consistent with those indicated by our exploration, to evaluate whether earthwork and foundation construction activities comply with the general intent of the recommendations presented in this report, and to provide suggestions for design changes in t -� ��5 GEOTECH CONSULTANTS,INC.
