2.2 Scope of Services
The purpose of this report is to present a summary of our geotechnical exploration only and provide
generalized opinions and recommendations regarding the soil conditions and design parameters for this
individual project site. DTE’s report is not intended to provide information on slope stability,
environmental issues, or conditions of surrounding sites. DTE’s “scope of services” was limited to the
following:
Explore the main project site subsurface by means of two (2) standard penetration borings. Site
borings were to extend to a maximum depth of fifty (50) feet below ground surface to provide
soil samples to conduct laboratory test(s) for characterizing the index and engineering properties
of soils strata at site.
Prepare a report presenting our findings from our field exploration, laboratory testing, and
engineering recommendations for foundation types, footing depths, allowable bearing capacity,
estimated settlements, floor slab support, excavation, engineered fill, backfill, compaction and
potential construction difficulties related to excavation, backfilling and drainage, utility
installation, and pavements exploration program results.
