The scope of services proposed for <br /> this subsurface exploration and preliminary geotechnical engineering analysis is given in the following <br /> section. <br /> BASEI SCOPE i GE TECHNICAL SERVICES <br /> In establishing our current scope of services, we have evaluated the nearby boring data, in the context <br /> of your planned development, to determine the appropriate boring depths. <br /> Our integrated services will include drilling of soil borings, laboratory testing of representative soil <br /> samples for pertinent engineering properties, various engineering analyses, and preparation of a <br /> preliminary engineering report. The borings will be extended to the proposed depths below the existing <br /> ground surface, unless auger refusal causes them to be terminated at a more shallow depth. Upon <br /> completion of drilling operations, the samples will be returned to our laboratory in Raleigh, North <br /> Carolina for further identification and testing. Our proposed scopes of field and laboratory services are <br /> as follows: <br /> if iellld i,;:xpllls ration <br /> a. Field locate borings by using hand-held GPS unit, referencing existing site features, and using <br /> available plans. Elevations will be interpolated from civil drawings and/or referenced from <br /> published topographical maps. <br /> b. Clear paths through wooded areas using chainsaws and/or a skid steer mounted brush cutter or <br /> similar clearing equipment to provide drill rig access to the borings locations. <br /> c. Mobilize an ATV or track-mounted drilling rig to the site. <br /> d. Perform up to 12 borings to depths of 20 feet below existing grades and up to 3 borings to <br /> depths of 5 feet below existing grades within the existing pavement areas. <br /> e. Perform Standard Penetration Test (SPT) tests at standard intervals within the borings for <br /> engineering analysis. <br /> f. Measure depth of groundwater within each boring at time of drilling and prior to backfilling. <br /> Laboratory Testing <br /> a. Perform up to 2 natural moisture tests. <br /> b. Perform up to 2 gradation analysis tests(wash sieve). <br /> c. Perform up to 2 Atterberg Limit tests. <br /> Mnllll MiN <br /> 1 r II(, rar /r)',/i%—(;1' <br /> 4,,,,g„00 4Ni4Nil <br />
