Gentlemen:
The following is a report of the soil investigation for the proposed structure on the above
referenced site. The testing is in accordance with accepted Engineering practice and
certain requirements of chapter 18 of the 2017 Edition of the Florida Building Code.
A total of two Penetration. Tests were advanced at finished grade to the depth and at the
location as noted on the attached boring logs.
As can be seen from the attached soil boring logs, the majority of the foundation soils
consists of a Grey and Brown Fine Sand, trace of marl and surficial roots (topsoil).
The water table was noted as occurring approximately 3.5 feet below the existing ground
elevation immediately upon completion of the borings.
Based on the "blow count" of the Penetration Tests, the foundation soils are generally in
a "very loose to medium" state of relative density. Due to the relative density of the
foundation soils, the following recommendations are made to achieve a minimum soil
bearing value of 2,500#/ft.2.
1. Complete normal clearing and grubbing operations over the entire
building pad area. (The building pad area is defined as a minimum of
five feet beyond the proposed building lines).
2. At this elevation, apply a heavy, smooth -drum vibratory roller with a
minimum of four overlapping passes.
3. If required, using a clean, suitable fill material, fill the building pad
area in one -foot lifts to the finished pad elevation using the same
compactive effort noted above. FILE COPY

4. Test the completed building pad area to ensure a minimum density of
95% of the modified proctor.
Following the above procedures, a minimum soil bearing value of 2,500#/ft.2 can be
anticipated for the proposed structure. This value is based on a footing width of 16" to
36 with the bottom of footing located a minimum of 8" to 24" below the finished pad
elevation or standard monolithic slab construction.
Note should be made that this investigation may not depict variations that possibly exist
intermediate of the attached test boring locations, or in untested areas of the property.
Should variations become evident, this office must be contacted to re-evaluate our
recommendations based upon on -site inspection and/or testing of the variant conditions.
It shall be the responsibility of the owner or contractor to maintain the building pad in a
manner that will preclude soil erosion.
Note should be made that "proper consideration by the owner or contractor shall be
given for the protection of the adjoining buildings and properties, prior to the
commencement of work." -
This investigation was for structural purposes only. Environmental conditions and/or
water quality are not part of this investigation.
