M. Engineering Project No. PSL1825- 1 <br /> Ladies and Gentlemen : <br /> A. M. Engineering and. Testing, Inc. is pleased to submit this geotechnical exploration report for <br /> E <br /> the referenced project . These services were performed in general accordance with our proposal <br /> dated March 8 , 2007 , and your authorization to proceed. After a brief executive summary, this <br /> letter presents our understanding of the project, a description of the explorations, a summary of <br /> the site and subsurface conditions, and our conclusions and recommendations for the foundations <br /> and pavements of the proposed construction . <br /> EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br /> Portions of the southwest quadrant of the site were not accessible due to dense vegetation . <br /> Additional borings should be performed when the site has been cleared to verify the uniformity <br /> of the soil conditions in the previously unexplored area. <br /> Based on the available data from the borings the soils at the project site are generally suitable for <br /> supporting the proposed structures on conventional shallow foundations proportioned using a <br /> maximum bearing capacity of 2 ,500 psf. <br /> The project site requires standard site preparation including clearing, proof-rolling and surface <br /> compaction prior to constructing the foundation pads. As much as 2 feet of soils with significant <br /> amounts of organics will need to be stripped in some areas of the site. The foundation pads <br /> should consist of compacted lifts of suitable soil . The soil density should be tested before placing <br /> steel for the foundation. <br /> Additional details are provided in the body of the report. <br /> PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br /> The project site is an approximately 4 % acre tract in the southwestern quadrant of Section 33 , <br /> Township 31 S , Range 39E. The east end is bounded by the lateral ` G ' canal and the south end by 1 <br /> 77`h Street. <br /> 1 <br /> t <br /> 3 <br />
