Oslo Road Paving and Parking Lot October 30, 2009 Universal Proposal Number 1930, 1009, 00001 2 SCOPE OF SERVICE The subsurface exploration will be performed to determine the subsurface soil and groundwater conditions and to provide design parameters for the design of the new complex . Based on the information provided by Indian River County , Universal proposes the following field services to obtain the information regarding the subsurface conditions at the site . The field services will include the following tasks : Field Services • Drill six ( 6 ) Standard Penetration Test ( SPT ) borings within the existing unpaved roadway to a depth of 7 feet and 15 feet below existing land surface ( bls ) . • Drill one ( 1 ) Standard Penetration Test ( SPT ) boring within the proposed parking lot area to a depth of 20 feet bls . • Drill six ( 6 ) Hand Auger ( HA ) borings with Dynamic Cone Penetrometer Tests ( DCP ) within the proposed dry retention swales and wet detention lake footprint to a depth of 5 feet bls . • Collect six ( 6 ) Shelby tube samples along the south side of the existing unpaved roadway at depths just above the current ground water levels . • Install a temporary location marker ( surveyor' s lath ) at each of the boring locations , leave the boring holes open , and obtain groundwater level readings a day after conducting the borings . All SPT borings will be drilled in accordance with ASTM D 1586 ( Standard Method for Penetration Test and Split- Barrel Sampling of Soils ) procedures . The SPT borings will be sampled continuously at 1 & inch intervals from ground surface to a depth of 7 feet bls . The SPT borings will be performed using a CME drilling rig using either rotary mud techniques or continuous flight augers to termination depth . Each recovered soil sample will be visually classified in the field and a geologic log prepared for each soil boring . Groundwater depths and any unusual subsurface conditions will be recorded on the boring logs . Representative portions of the recovered soil samples from each boring location will be sealed and packaged for transportation to our laboratory for a more detailed analysis , as required . All soil samples will be classified in general accordance with ASTM D 2487 ( Standard Classification of Soils for Engineering Purposes ( Unified Soil Classification System ) ) guidelines . Laboratory Services Universal will select representative soil samples from the soil borings for gradation analysis to provide a more detailed classification of the soil types encountered at the site and better define their engineering properties . Universal estimates that six ( 6 ) samples will be required for analysis . The samples will be tested according to the procedures listed ASTM D 1140 ( Standard Test Method for Amount of Material in Soils Finer than the No . 200 Sieve ) . In part , ASTM D 1140 requires a thorough mixing the sample with water and flushing it through a No . 200 sieve
