Dear Mr. Paris:
GFA is pleased to submit this addendum to AM Engineering geotechnical report No.
PSL2536-1 dated June 23, 2011, for the referenced project. The testing, borings, and other
services performed for this project were under the supervision of the author of this report
Donald W. Moler, P.E. while employed at A.M. Engineering (now GFA International). GFA
was contacted to provide adjustments to the report.
The fist paragraph of the report states "This report was prepared in general accordance with
Chapter 18 of the 2007 Florida Building Code." This sentence should have said "This report
was prepared in accordance with Chapter 18 of the. Florida Building Code (latest addition)." .
The remaining recommendations from the original report (site preparation, etc.) are valid and
remain unchanged and should be followed.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you on this project and look forward to a
continued association. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or
comments, or if we may further assist you as your plans proceed.

Project No. PSL2536-1
Ladies and Gentlemen:
A. M. Engineering and Testing, Inc. is pleased to submit this geotechnical exploration report for
the referenced project. This letter describes the project, explains our services and findings, and
presents our conclusions and recommendations for the foundation of the proposed additions. This
report was prepared in general accordance with Chapter 18 of the 2007 lorida Building Code.
-� EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The subsurface soil conditions encountered at the site are suitable for the proposed construction.
The top 2 feet of soil below stripped surface and below all footings should be densified and
compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM
D1557). Some areas of the site have shallow silty and clayey soils that may not be compactable.
These soils may have to be removed from beneath the footings (undercut) and replaced with
clean sand fill to obtain compaction. All fill (including stemwall backfill) should be densified
and compacted to at least 95 percent density. We recommend a "jumping jack" type compactor
for footing bottom compaction.
The foundation pad should consist of compacted lifts of suitable soil. The soil density should be
tested before placing steel for the footings. The proposed addition can be supported on shallow
foundations proportioned using a maximum bearing capacity of 2,500 psf.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Based on a site plan (reproduced as the Boring Location Plan attached to this report) and
conversations with the client, the project consists of constructing a one and two-story attached
addition with a footprint on the order of 15,000 square feet (sf) at the northeast side of the
A. M. ENGINEERING AND TESTING, INC.
Geotechnical Exploration:
Proposed PGA Clubhouse Additions
Port St. Lucie, Florida
Project No. PSL2536-1
clubhouse building, a one-story attached addition with a footprint on the order of 2,000 sf at the
central north side of the existing clubhouse building, and a detached addition with a footprint on
the order of 5,000 sf near the east side of the existing clubhouse building. Shallow foundation
systems are planned. We have not received any information regarding structural loads. For the
foundation recommendations presented in this report we assumed the maximum column load
will be 150 kips and the maximum wall loading will be 5 kips per linear foot. We estimate the
majority of the locations of the additions are at or near final grade, but in some areas up to 1 foot
of fill will be required to achieve final grade.
If any of the above information is incorrect, A. M. Engineering should be advised promptly so
that we can review our recommendations and revise them if necessary.
FIELD EXPLORATIONS
The subsurface conditions at the project site were explored on June 21, 2011 with nine (9)
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings. The upper 4 feet of the SPT borings were drilled with a
hand auger in order to avoid damaging utilities. The SPT borings were performed in general
compliance with ASTM D 1586, "Penetration Test and Split -Barrel Sampling of Soils" and the
auger borings in general compliance with ASTM D 1452, "Practice for Soil Investigation and
Sampling by Auger Borings". Hand Cone Penetrometer (HCP) tests were conducted at one -foot
intervals in the auger borings. The HCP test, in conjunction with information about the soil type,
is empirically correlated to the relative density of subsurface soils.
The approximate locations of the borings are noted on the Boring Location Plan. The borings
were located based on the provided plans and measured distances to distinguishable landmarks.
GPS coordinates obtained at boring locations are included on the logs. The depths on the boring
logs are below the ground surface at the time the borings were completed.
FINDINGS
The project site was generally flat. The site was grassy with palm trees and miscellaneous
landscaping. A one-story clubhouse building occupied the site, with several ancillary buildings
and the golf course surrounding the clubhouse.
The subsurface soils encountered in the borings generally consisted of fine sand with occasional
silty and clayey sand layers to the boring termination depths of 15 and 20 feet. The HCP values
and SPT N-values (blow counts) generally indicated that the soils were medium dense from the
ground surface to a depth of 10 feet, and then loose to the boring termination depths of 15 and 20
feet.

Ground water was encountered 23/4 to 5 feet below existing grade at the completion of the
borings. The water table will fluctuate seasonally depending on local rainfall and nearby drainage
features. The rainy season in South Florida is normally between May and October.
FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS
After the project site has been prepared as outlined below, the proposed additions can be
supported on conventional stem wall footings, shallow spread footing, thickened -edge monolithic
slabs. The footings can be proportioned using a maximum net soil bearing pressure of 2,500
pounds per square foot (psf). Although computed footing dimensions may be less, we
recommend minimum widths of 16 inches for strip footings and 24 inches for square footings.
The bottom of the footings should bear at least 1 foot below the adjacent exterior grade.
Conventional slab -on -grade can be used for the ground floors of the structures. The floor slabs
should have a minimum thickness of 4 inches. A moisture barrier is recommended beneath the
floor slabs to reduce moisture migration from the underlying soil resulting in dampness of the
slabs.
For the loads indicated in the Project Information section, we anticipate that the total settlement
will be less than 1 inch, and the differential settlement between adjacent similarly loaded footings
will be less than '/z inch. Because of the granular nature of the subsurface soils, the majority of
the settlement due to the dead loads should occur during construction and post -construction
settlement should be minimal.
Please be aware that differential settlement between existing and new structures is to be
expected. A construction joint between the existing and new structures should be considered.
SITE PREPARATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Stripping and Surface Compaction
Foundations and any below grade remains of any structures that were previously within the
footprint of the proposed construction should be removed. Existing utilities should be located,
properly capped at the property line and removed or rerouted around the footprint of the proposed
construction. Trees within the footprint of the proposed construction will have to be removed and
the tree holes should be backfilled with thin lifts of compacted soil.
The footprints of the addition areas should be stripped of all surface vegetation, trees, roots, and
other deleterious matter within and at least 5 feet beyond the perimeter of the proposed additions.
The areas should be proofrolled and compacted with a 5 to 10-ton vibratory (or static if vibration
is of concern) roller operating at a "slow walk" speed. Proofrolling helps to detect any soft or
loose zones and buried debris. If unstable areas are encountered, the project engineer or the
.3
A. M. ENGINEERING AND TESTING, INC..
Geotechnical Exploration:
Proposed PGA Clubhouse Additions
Port St. Lucie, Florida
Project No. PSL2536-1
geotechnical consultant should be advised, the matter investigated and the problem resolved.
Because the initial proof -rolling is very critical, we recommend that a representative of A. M.
Engineering and Testing, Inc. monitor the operation.
4
The areas should be compacted until the upper 2 feet of soil achieve a density of at least 95
percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557). A representative of
A. M. Engineering and Testing, Inc. should check the compaction with field density tests prior to
placing any fill.
If the addition will be attached to an existing structure, using vibratory rolling compaction
equipment at this site may damage the existing and nearby structures (generally within 40 feet).
We recommend using a `jumping jack' type compactor for compaction of the subgrade after
static roller proofrolling, or alternative equipment such as front-end loaders with buckets filled
with soil, has been used successfully to attain the required compaction. If unstable areas are
encountered during stripped surface compaction, the project engineer or the geotechnical
consultant should be advised, the matter investigated and the problem resolved.
If the addition will be detached, a vibratory roller may be used for stripped surface and fill
compaction if existing structure(s) are of sufficient distance (generally 40 feet) away from the
vibratory roller so that the structure(s) are not damaged by vibrations. If not, the proofrolling
should be performed with a static roller. Prior to beginning compaction operations, photographs
of nearby structures can be taken to document the condition and visible cracking for claim
purposes. Alternative equipment, such as front-end loaders with buckets filled with soil, has been
used successfully to attain the required compaction without the problem of vibration.
Earthwork Recommendations
Fill should be "clean" sand with less than 5 percent fines (percent of dry weight passing a U.S.
No. 200 sieve). Higher fine contents can be used but more construction control is necessary.
Backfill behind walls should be very pervious, with no more than 3 percent fines. Hand operated
equipment should be used when in close proximity to walls or other structures that could be
adversely affected by vibrations or heavy equipment.
Where fill is to be placed on the existing ground, the surface must be prepared as indicated in the
previous section. The outer edges of the fill should extend sufficiently beyond the building to
provide slopes with a minimum horizontal to vertical ratio of 4(H): I (V) from approximately five
feet outside the building perimeter to the existing grade.
4
A. M. ENGINEERING AND TESTING, INC.
Geotechnical Exploration:
Proposed PGA Clubhouse Additions
Port St. Lucie, Florida
Project No. PSL2536-1
The fill (and all stemwall backfill) should be placed in 12-inch thick compacted lifts with each
lift compacted to at least 95 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D
1557). The compaction should be checked with field density tests.
Fill that is placed in confined areas such as utility trenches or holes should be compacted in 6 to 8
inch thick lifts to at least 95 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D
1557).
Footing Subgrade Preparation
After the footings have been excavated, a representative of A. M. Engineering and Testing, Inc.
should evaluate the bottom of the footings with respect to the boring data and assess if a suitable
bearing layer is present. The upper 2 feet of soil below the bottom of footing must be
compacted. Our representative should perform density tests to confirm that the density of the
upper 2 feet of soil in the bottom of the footings is compacted to at least 95 percent of the
modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557). We recommend a "jumping jack" type
compactor for footing bottom compaction.
If the soils cannot be compacted due to persistent wetness or the water table near the bottom of
the footing excavation, or due to subgrade `pumping' due to silty and clayey soils, we
recommend undercutting below bottom of footing and replacement with No. 57 stone, or
rock/sand fill for subgrade that cannot be compacted per specifications (upper 2 feet). The
rock/sand fill should be compacted and tamped into the excavation. Excavation and placement
must be inspected and verified by a representative of A. M. Engineering and Testing, Inc., and
tested with hand cone penetrometers, probe rods, or density tests.

KEY TO SOIL CLASSIFICATION
CLASSIFICATION OF SOIL CONSTITUENTS
BY PARTICLE SIZE ASTM D 2487 and 2488
Category
Particle Diameter
Silt and Clay
Soil passing a No. 200 (75- m) sieve
Fine — Particles of rock passing the No. 40 (425-µm) sieve and
retained on the No. 200 (75-µm) sieve
Sand
Medium — Particles of rock passing the No. 10 (2.00-mm) sieve and
retained on the No. 40 (425-µm) sieve
Coarse — Particles of rock passing the No. 4 (4.75-mm) sieve and
retained on the No. 10 (2.00-mm) sieve
Fine - Particles of rock passing the 3/4-in. (19-mm) sieve and
Gravel
retained on the No. 4 (4.75-mm) sieve
Coarse — Particles of rock passing the 3-in. (75-mm) sieve and
retained on the 3/4-in. (19-mm) sieve
Cobbles
Particles of rock passing 12-in. square opening and
retained on a 3-in. (75-mm) sieve
Boulders
Particles of rock that will not pass a 12-in. square opening
AMOUNT OF CONSTITUENTS IN SOIL*
COARSE AND FINE GRAINED SOILS
