A. Introduction A.1. Situation Mr. Sam Roberto is coordinating the development of a vacant lot on Rose Place, just east of Savage Lane, in Little Canada. The development will likely be limited to a single - family residence. A.2. Project Goals Our goals included characterizing subsurface conditions in that portion of the lot most likely to be developed, and providing Mr. Roberto with an opinion regarding the suitability of the lot for development, anti recommendations for building subgrade preparation and the design of foundations and slabs. A.3. Scope of Services Our scope of services was outlined in an April 3, 2001, Cost Estimate to Mr. Roberto, who provided written authorization to proceed on May 10, 2001. Our scope of services was performed under the terms of our February 1, 1996, General Conditions, and was limited to the tasks described below. To obtain information for our evaluation, we drilled two penetration test borings at locations selected by Mr. Roberto. The approximate locations of our borings are shown in Figure 1, in the Appendix. Figure 1 is a partial tracing of an untitled, undated property boundary plan provided by Mr. Roberto, superimposed with measurements taken by our drill crew upon drilling the borings. Both our borings were terminated at a depth of 20 feet. Penetration resistance tests were performed as each boring was advanced. The depths at which the tests were performed, and the results of the tests are shown on the attached Log of Boring sheets. Penetration resistances, measured in blows -per -foot (BPF), provide an empirical means of estimating relative material density, consistency, strength and compaction.
