Geotechnical Laboratory Testing Matrix will subcontract and arrange for appropriate geotechnical laboratory tests on selected representative soil samples recovered during the field operations. We anticipate performing geotechnical laboratory tests for moisture content, grain size analysis, and Atterberg limits (plasticity indices) to determine the engineering index characteristics of the soils. Engineering Evaluation Matrix will evaluate the field and laboratory data to determine the impact of subsurface conditions on the planned construction. Reporting Matrix will prepare a geotechnical report of the investigation which will include: • Boring location plan • Boring logs including descriptions of the subsurface materials, standard penetration test data • Description of subsurface conditions • Laboratory testing results • Recommendations for excavation and controlled fill • Recommended geotechnical design parameters • Foundation recommendations PROJECT COST AND SCHEDULE The total cost to conduct the above tasks for the Site is $22,260.
