Legend for Elevation:
PR = Proofroll 1,2,3 = 1st, 2nd, 3rd Lift
SL = Springline FL = Final Lift
SG = Subgrade BG = Below Grade
BC = Basecourse BOF = Bottom of Footing
TOP = Top of Pipe FG = Finished Grade
Area Tested:Perimeter Around Pad 2002-0055
Notes:The compaction results were performed within the foundation footprint of this project.The above results meet or
exceed the requirements of the FHA Design manual for Compaction along with the current edition of the Florida Building Code.
Contractor is responsible to maintain the tested area in the condition that FET completed the indicated passed compaction
test.FET is not responsible if the tested area has been altered from the approved inspected condition after test was
performed.

This is a Compaction Test only on the top 12" of the pad and is not a verification of Soil Bearing Capacity.
As a mutual protection to clients,the public and ourselves,all reports are submitted as the confidential property of clients,and authorization for publication of statements,
conclusions or extracts from or regarding our reports is reserved pending our written approval.A density test determines the degree of compaction of the tested layer of material
only.A density does not replace a soil bearing capacity determination.These density tests do not certify the underlying soil materials below the proposed structure.The results do
not preclude or guarantee that future settlement and cracking will not occur.A soil boring test is required to certify that the underlying soils will support the proposed structure
without settlement.If no soil borings have been performed to verify the underlying soils,we recommend that soil borings be performed to evaluate the suitability of the underlying
soil to support the proposed structure. After laying dormant for a period of 90 days or after heavy rain/storms, retesting must be performed on this work.

Compacted Soils Method D-6938 Disclaimer
Pursuant to your request, Federal Engineering & Testing, Inc. (FET) has performed a compaction test at the referenced project
on the reverse side.The purpose of our test was to determine the degree of compaction of the tested layer of material only.In
no way shall a compaction test replace a soil bearing capacity determination.A soil boring test must be performed by the client
prior to construction to verify subsoil conditions.Our scope of services only included testing the top 12"of added fill material.
FET was not contracted to perform supervision of the building pad preparation.This testing of the added fill material does not
include an analysis of the underlying soil materials to determine if they are capable of supporting the proposed structure
without settlement.This density compaction test does not warranty any underlying soil materials or conditions below the
tested top 12 inches of material.If no soil borings have been performed in the location of the proposed structure,we
recommend performing soil borings below all foundation areas of the proposed structure to verify the underlying soil
conditions.
Environmental analysis of the soil materials is not part of the scope of services.If environmental analysis of the soils is
required,we can provide a proposal for performing an environmental analysis of the soil materials.The scope of services is for
determination of the degree of compaction of the tested layer of material only. No other analysis is implied or warranted.
Job project specifications were not available at the time the work was performed.Determination of the pass/fail compaction
results are based on current common industry requirements of 95%of the ASTM D-1557 standard for building foundations and
98%of the AASHTO T-180 standard for paved areas such as roadways and parking lots.If different specifications are
required, Federal Engineering & Testing, Inc. shall be notified.
Our findings are relative to the date and areas of our site work and should not be relied upon to represent conditions on other
areas or dates.Any subsequent site disturbances due to water erosion,rain waters,construction activities,utility or footing
excavations,overgrown vegetation,traffic and other disturbances will void this test and the site must be re-compacted and re-
tested prior to construction.
As a mutual protection to clients,the public and ourselves,all reports are submitted as the confidential property of our client
and authorization for use,publication of statements,conclusions or extracts from or regarding our reports is reserved pending
our written approval.
It has been a pleasure working with you and we look forward to doing so in the near future.
