Laboratory examination (classification) of the material samples and physical property <br /> tests of same to establish their plasticity, gradation, organic content , moisture content, <br /> LBR and corrosion potential . Consolidation testing; may be performed on soft <br /> cohesive soils should they be identified in the borings conducted in the unimproved <br /> roadway section. <br /> Reporting <br /> L Preparation and submittal of a report that presents results for the roadway soil survey <br /> and structures investigation as detailed in Chapter 9 of FDOT's Soils and Foundation <br /> Handbook (2006) . The report will address plastic and/or organic soils (limits and <br /> volume), if present, projected water table levels, and design/constiuction options to <br /> deal with plastic/organic soils and perched water (e. g. , medians) . The report will <br /> include cross-sectional profiles of the subsurface conditions with soil classifications. <br /> Our geotechnical budget does not include costs for rental of earth moving equipment to access <br /> heavily vegetated or un-level terrain areas. Our intent will be to adjust the boring locations so as <br /> to avoid. the need for clearing activities. <br /> Where necessary, we assume that access to the roadway aligrunent through private properties <br /> will be coordinated by the County. <br /> We strongly recommend that the �roject surveyor survey the horizontal uric/ vertical positions <br /> of the borings and piezoineters. This data (elevations) is key to establishing cut depths for <br /> unsuitable soils and alae seasonal /high ground;vater levels (elevations). <br /> SCHEDULE <br /> Following receipt of your written authorization to proceed, we estimate that aur schedule for the <br /> geotechnical work will be as follows: <br /> • Projectstart=up, boring layout and utility clearance — 1 week <br /> • Field exploration-2 weeks <br /> • Laboratory testing — 2 -to 3 weeks <br /> • <br /> . Engineering analysis, ,preparation and submittal of draft report — 2 weeks <br /> • Finalize report - 1 week <br /> SCHEDULE TOTAL : 8 to 9 weeks <br /> Dunkelberger <br />
