RVC Homes <br /> Project BABX-01-0124 <br /> April 12, 2001 <br /> Page 12 <br /> between these borings, the nature and extent of which do not become evident until additional <br /> exploration or construction is conducted. A reevaluation of the recommendations in this report should <br /> be made after performing on-site observations during construction to note the characteristics of any <br /> variations. The variations may result in additional grading or foundation costs, and it is suggested that <br /> a contingency be provided for this purpose. <br /> It is recommended that we be retained to perform the observation and testing program for the site <br /> preparation phase of this project. This will allow correlation of the soil conditions encountered during <br /> construction to the soil borings, and will provide continuity of professional responsibility. <br /> F.2. Review of Design <br /> This report is based on the design of the proposed house as related to us for preparation of this report. <br /> It is recommended that we be retained to review the geotechnical aspects of the designs and <br /> specifications. With the review, we will evaluate whether any changes in design have affected the <br /> validity of the recommendations, and whether our recommendations have been correctly interpreted and <br /> implemented in the design and specifications. <br /> F.3. Groundwater Fluctuations <br /> We made water level observations in the borings at the times and under the conditions stated on the <br /> boring logs. These data were interpreted in the text of this report. The period of observation was <br /> relatively short, and fluctuations in the groundwater level may occur due to rainfall, flooding, <br /> irrigation, spring thaw, drainage, and other seasonal and annual factors not evident at the time the <br /> observations were made. Design drawings and specifications and construction planning should <br /> recognize the possibility of fluctuations. <br /> F.4. Use of Report <br /> This report is for the exclusive use of RVC Homes to use to design the proposed house and prepare <br /> construction documents. In the absence of our written approval, we make no representation and <br /> assume no responsibility to other parties regarding this report. The data, analyses and <br /> recommendations may not be appropriate for other structures or purposes. We recommend that parties <br /> contemplating other structures or purposes contact us. <br />
