Inwood 10 LLC <br />Project B14-08413 <br />December 3, 2014 <br />Page 6 <br />commercial developments, multiple commercial and multi-family residential structures, and stormwater <br />ponds. <br />Per conversations with Rick Schreier of Inwood 10 LLC, this preliminary geotechnical evaluation will be <br />utilized by the project design team to assist in developing plans and specifications for the project, <br />specifically related to site grading. Existing grades, in the commercial development area as shown on the <br />sketch in the Appendix, range between 1003 and 1031. <br />We have attempted to describe our understanding of the proposed construction to the extent it was <br />reported to us by others. Depending on the extent of available information, assumptions may have been <br />made based on our experience with similar projects. If we have not correctly recorded or interpreted the <br />project details, we should be notified. New or changed information could require additional evaluation, <br />analyses and/or recommendations. <br />D.Recommendations <br />Based on the soil borings, we anticipate that the site would be prepared typical to similar commercial <br />buildings, namely: <br />Site grading will likely include stripping the vegetation and topsoil and any very loose sands <br />or soft clays. <br />Surface compaction within the building pads once stripping is complete for areas to be filled. <br />Cutting to grade or filling with suitable soils. A majority of material below the topsoil is <br />anticipated to be considered suitable for engineered fill, though it should be noted moisture <br />conditioning may be needed. <br />In our judgment, the on-site clays could be reused as engineered fill, but will require drying so <br />compaction can be achieved. To dry these soils, extensive farming of these clays will likely be required <br />and is easier to accomplish in the drier months of June to September. If site grading is done in the spring <br />or fall, on-site drying of these soils may not prove to be feasible and the importing of drier soils may be <br />required. If time or space is not available to dry these soils, then drier soils may need to be imported. The <br />reuse of these materials should be discussed at the bidding stages of the project.
