1. INTRODUCTION <br />1.1 Project Location <br />The borings were completed along Oneka Lake Boulevard from Goodview Avenue North to 157th Street <br />North and along Harrow Avenue North from 157th Street North to 165th Street North. The approximate <br />soil boring locations can be found on the Soil Boring Exhibit in Appendix A. <br />1.2 Project Description <br />It is proposed to complete culvert replacements along the roadway, as well as possibly extend the water <br />and sanitary sewers from Goodview Avenue to Greene Avenue. The pavement section will be reclaimed. <br />We understand that 3 foot shoulders will be added to the roadway, and the road will remain a rural <br />design. <br />Culvert inverts will likely be within 5 feet of existing road grade, and watermain and sanitary sewer inverts <br />are assumed to be between 8 and 13 feet below existing grade. <br />WSB has developed recommendations for this project in consideration of the proposed layout and <br />configurations as understood at this time. When the additional information is developed about final <br />design, configuration, or other significant factors, the recommendations presented herein may no longer <br />apply. WSB must be made aware of the revised or additional information in order to evaluate the <br />recommendations for continued applicability. <br />1.3 Purpose and Project Scope of Services <br />Mark Erichson with WSB authorized this work. In order to assist the design team in preparing plans and <br />specifications, we have developed recommendations for installation of underground utilities and <br />pavement reclamation design. As such, we have completed a subsurface exploration program and <br />prepared a geotechnical report for the referenced site. This stated purpose was a significant factor in <br />determining the scope and level of service provided. Should the purpose of the report change the report <br />immediately ceases to be valid and use of it without WSB's prior review and written authorization shall be <br />at the user's sole risk. <br />Our authorized scope of work has been limited to: <br />1. Mobilization / Demobilization of a Truck Mounted Drill Rig. <br />2. Clearing underground utilities utilizing the Gopher State One Call. <br />3. Drilling 19 standard penetration borings to about 14 1/2 foot depths. <br />4. Sealing the borings per Minnesota Department of Health procedures. <br />5. Perform soil classification and analysis. <br />6. Review of readily available project information and geologic data. <br />7. Providing this geotechnical report containing: <br />a. Summary of our findings. <br />b. Discussion of subsurface soil and groundwater conditions and how they may affect the <br />proposed pavements and utility installations. <br />c. Estimated R -value of the subgrade soils. <br />d. Recommended pavement reclamation section. <br />e. A discussion of soils for use as structural fill and site fill. <br />Geotechnical Report <br />Oneka Lake Boulevard and Harrow Avenue Improvements <br />Hugo, Minnesota <br />WSB Project No. 010893-000 <br />Page 1 <br />
