r„ KLEINFELDER <br /> nearly continuous basis to the maximum depth of exploration. Based on published correlations, <br /> the data obtained will be used to estimate stratigraphy, soil type, groundwater depth, and in situ <br /> soil parameters, such as undrained shear strength and standard penetration (l) values. <br /> 2. Laboratory Testing <br /> Laboratory tests will be performed in accordance with current ASTM standards on selected <br /> samples to evaluate the physical and engineering characteristics of the subsoils. We anticipate <br /> these tests may include moisture content, dry unit weight, Atterberg Limits, shear strength, and <br /> consolidation. We proposed to perform six to eight R-value tests on composite samples of the <br /> subgrade soils to evaluate pavement sections. In addition, two tests will be performed on near- <br /> r <br /> surface soil samples to evaluate the corrosivity of the soils to buried metals and concrete. The <br /> final selection of testing type and frequency will be selected based on the subsurface conditions <br /> encountered during the field exploration. <br /> 3. Report Preparation <br /> ` Results of our field explorations, laboratory testing and engineering analyses will be summarized <br /> in a report containing the following: <br /> • A description of the proposed project; <br /> • A description of the surface and subsurface site conditions encountered during our <br /> field explorations; <br /> • A description of our field and laboratory investigations <br /> L <br /> • A discussion regarding the geologic and seismic setting of the project area; <br /> L • Conclusions and preliminary recommendations related to the geotechnical aspects <br /> of: <br /> 1 <br /> 6. - General earthwork, including site stripping, subgrade preparation, temporary <br /> excavations, trench excavation and backfill, import fill, construction <br /> ` dewatering (if warranted), compaction criteria, and wet/soft soil <br /> construction; <br /> ` - Potential geologic hazards, including liquefaction, ground rupture, and <br /> strong ground shaking; <br /> `„ - Foundation design and construction, including allowable bearing capacities, <br /> lateral resistance, settlement, and foundation depth; <br /> 02001PROP.GBO/STO2P093 August 21,2002 <br /> ©2002 Kleinfelder,Inc.
