DocuSign Envelope ID: AFOFC7DF- FDAD- 4E58- A786- 72F744EA8560 <br />ECS Southeast, LLP <br />C. 5 gradation analysis tests (wash sieve). <br />d. 5 Atterberg Limit tests. <br />Report <br />Upon completion of testing and engineering analysis, we will prepare a geotechnical engineering report <br />that presents our findings and recommendations. The geotechnical engineering report will include the <br />following items: <br />a. Observations from our site reconnaissance including current site conditions, surface drainage <br />features, and surface topographic conditions. <br />b. A review of the published geologic conditions and their relevance to your planned development. <br />C. A subsurface characterization and a description of the field exploration and laboratory tests <br />performed. <br />d. Logs of the soil borings prepared in accordance with the standard practice for geotechnical <br />engineering. A boring location plan will be included, and the results of the laboratory tests will <br />be plotted on the final boring logs or included on a separate test report sheet. Elevations will be <br />interpolated from civil drawings and /or referenced from published topographical maps. <br />e. Recommended allowable soil bearing pressure(s) for conventional shallow foundations (spread <br />footings) and estimates of predicted foundation settlement. We will provide recommendations <br />for suitable intermediate foundations /ground improvement options in the event estimated <br />settlements of shallow foundations are not tolerable. <br />f. Recommendations for slab -on -grade design and construction, including recommendations for <br />subgrade materials and design modulus of subgrade reaction. <br />g. Design and construction recommendations for site retaining walls, including lateral earth <br />pressures. <br />h. Evaluation of the on -site soil characteristics encountered in the soil borings. Specifically, we will <br />discuss the excavatability of the on -site materials and the suitability of the on -site materials for <br />reuse as engineered fill. We will also include compaction requirements and suitable material <br />guidelines. <br />Recommendations for seismic site classification in accordance with the 2012 North Carolina <br />Building Code. <br />Recommendations for additional testing and /or consultation that might be required to complete <br />the geotechnical assessment and related engineering for this project. <br />ECS Proposal No: 06:20895 <br />Page 13 gi_ <br />A <br />
