Based on information provided to us, we understand that the project includes stormwater retention <br />swales along portions of the subject roadway that will be paved in the near future. Shallow soil stratigraphy <br />and an estimate of the normal seasonal high groundwater table level are needed for the design of the swales. <br />The following <br />summarizes our proposed <br />scope of work and associated fees for conducting <br />the subject <br />exploration. <br />and organic <br />contents). <br />estimate of the normal seasonal <br />FIELD EXPLORATION <br />As discussed, our field exploration program will consist of performing four auger borings to a depth of <br />approximately 2 to 3 feet below the encountered groundwater table or to a maximum depth of 6 feet below <br />ground surface, whichever is encountered first. The borings will be conducted using a 3 -inch diameter hand <br />(bucket) auger in the vicinity of the locations selected by the client. Each sample will be removed from the <br />auger in the field and then examined and visually classified by our field personnel. Representative portions <br />will be sealed and packaged for transportation to our laboratory for further analysis as required. Water level <br />observations will be made in the boreholes during the drilling operation. The boreholes will be backfilled with <br />soil cuttings upon completion of the field program. <br />LABORATORY TESTING <br />Routine laboratory <br />visual classification will be <br />performed <br />along with specific classification tests deemed <br />necessary (i.e., sieve analysis, Atterberg limits <br />and organic <br />contents). <br />ENGINEERING ANALYSIS AND REPORT <br />All data obtained will be made to evaluate general subsurface <br />conditions. The data developed <br />during the <br />exploration will be submitted in a <br />written report upon conclusion <br />of the exploration. We will also <br />provide an <br />estimate of the normal seasonal <br />high groundwater table level at <br />the boring locations. <br />Miami.. Orlando.
