September 15,2018 <br /> Proje�t 18-412 <br /> Shovel Ready Proje�t Site <br /> Pequot Iakes,Minnesota <br /> rainfall,temperature,spring thaw and other factors not evident at the time of our investigation. <br /> Mottled soils were not observed. Mottled soils are a historical indication of a temporarily or <br /> seasonally saturated soil condition. Grey soils were also not observed. Grey soils are an <br /> indication of a permanently saturated soil condition. <br /> C. Engineering Review <br /> Discnssion• <br /> Based on our findings,the site appears to be very well suited for the anticipated building and site <br /> improvements. The native,poorly graded sands(SP),poorly graded sands with silt(SP-S1Vn and <br /> silty sands(S1Vn are excellent material for building support. They aze also excellent for pavement <br /> support. <br /> We assume the buildings built on these lots will be one-story,slab-on-grade,steel&amed or <br /> ma�onry wall structures on standard spread footings. We assume exterior footings will be placed <br /> at 1 to 5 fe�t below existing ground level and interior columns at depths of 1 to 2 feet above or <br /> below existing grade. Malumum foundation loads could be expected to be in the range of 5 to 6 <br /> kips per linear foot for strip footings and 200 to 250 kips for column pads. Groundwater will not <br /> have an impact on construction. The soils on this site are suitable for infiltration for stormwater <br /> management. <br /> D.�Recommendations <br /> The following r�ommendations are based on oar nnderstanding of the prnpos�l pro3ect. If onr <br /> nnderstanding of the project is not accurate,or if changes are made to the project scope,please <br /> inform ns so that our recommendat3ons can be amended,if necessary. We have incladed <br /> recommendations regarding earthwork and constractlon th�t may help in cost esdmates and aid in <br /> d�ign. We should be allowed to review the proposed constrnction plans to provide farther detailed <br /> recommendal3ons,if necessary. R'ithout the opportan�ty to review the 8nal constrnctiiton plans,the <br /> recommend�tions made�tn this report may ao longer be valid. <br /> 5ite Grading• <br /> We recommend the topsoil be stripped from the entire building and pazking lot areas prior to <br /> beginning construction. The topsoil should be removed from the site or stockpiled for re-use as <br /> landscape material. <br /> Page 4 <br />
