JN 98313 <br /> Stef(en Jacobson Page 10 <br /> August 17. 1998 <br /> Ideally, structural fill that will be placed in wet weather should consist of a coarse, granuiar soil with <br /> a silt or clay content of no more than 5 percent. The percentage of particles passing the No. 200 <br /> sieve should be measured from that portion of soil passing the three-quarter-inch sieve. <br /> LIMITATIONS <br /> The analyses, conclusions, and recommendations contained in this report are based on site <br /> conditions as they existed at the time of our exploration and assume that the soil encountered in <br /> the test pits is representative of subsurface conditions on the site. If the subsurface conditions <br /> encountered during construction are significantly different from those observed in our explorations, <br /> we should be advised at once so that we can review these conditions and reconsider our <br /> recommendations where necessary. Unanticipated soil conditions are commonly encountered on <br /> consiruction sites and cannot be fully anticipated by merely taking soil samples in test pits. <br /> Subsurface conditions can also vary between exploration locations. Such unexpected conditions <br /> frequently require making additional expenditures to attain a properly constructed project. It is <br /> recommended that ihe owner consider providing a contingency fund to accommodate such <br /> potentiai e:ctra costs and risks. This is a standard recommendation for all projects. <br /> This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Steffen Ja�obson, and his representatives, <br /> for specific application to this project and site. Our recommendations and conciusions are based <br /> on observed site materials, and selective laboratory testing and engineering analyses. Our <br /> conclusions and recommendations are professional opinions o=rived in accordance with current <br /> standards of practice within the scope of our services and within budget and time constraints. No <br /> warranty is expressed or implied. The scope of our services doEs not include services related to <br /> construction safety precautions, and our recommendations are not intended to direct the <br /> contractor's me!hods, techniques. sequences, or proced�res, except as specifically described in <br /> our report for consideration in design. We recommend including this report, in its entirety, in the <br /> project contract documents so the contractor may be a�vare of our findings. <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 intent of contract plans <br /> and specifications. and to provide recommendations for design changes in ?he event subsurface <br /> conditions differ from those anticipated prior to the start of construction. �iowever, our work would <br /> not include the supervision or direction of the actual v+ork of the contractor and its employees or <br /> agents. Also, job and site safety, and dimensional measurements, will be the responsibility of the <br /> contractor. <br /> The scope of our work did not include an environmental assessment, but we can provide this <br /> service, if requested. <br /> The (ollow�ng plates are attached and complete tn;s report: <br /> arorrcn co�sui.r:��i<.i�c <br />
