QuEST Report No. J-17225.002
Dear Mr. Rubin:
As requested, Quest Engineering Services & Testing, Inc. (QuEST) has completed a
subsurface study at the subject site. The fieldwork involved the drilling, of three auger borings
to a depth of 7 feet below existing grade. The.approximate boring locations are indicated on the
attached Boring Location Plan. The attached boring logs, indicate the. types of materials
encountered, the results of the field tests and the measured groundwater depths.
PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
The subject project site is located at 1491 NW Wild Olive Court in Palm City, Florida. We
understand that plans are to construct a garage addition. We understand that the existing SF
residence on site is supported on shallow foundations. This geotechnical exploration was
required to determine the suitability of the foundation soils in the addition area to support the
planned construction. Owing to access difficulties for our drill rig, the field work consisted of
drilling three hand auger borings to a depth of 7 feet below grade, at the locations indicated on
the attached Boring Location Plan.
STRATIGRAPHY
The stratification of the profile components as shown on the boring logs represents the
:subsurface conditions at the actual boring locations. Variations may occur within a short
distance from the borings. Lines of demarcation represent the approximate boundary between
the types.of,materials encountered, but the transition may be gradual, or not clearly defined.
The! borings disclosed the soil profile .at the subject site consists of sand to the terminal limits of
the exploration at 7 feet below grade. Hand held penetrometer tests done in the upper four feet
of the subsurface.profile indicate the soils to be in a loose to medium dense state.
Groundwater
The ground water table was encountered in the borings at a depth of about 4.4 feet below
grade. In the absence of other data, we suggest assuming that a 12 to 18-inch rise in the water
table could occur during periods of prolonged rainfall and at the peak of the wet hydroperiod,
which typically occurs in the Fail.

QuEST Report No. J-17225:042
DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the results of our field tests, we believe that the, site soils can safely support shallow
foundations designed for an allowable bearing pressure of 2,500 pounds per square foot (psf)
provided the earthwork recommendations given in this report are followed. To provide an
adequate factor of safety against a bearing capacity failure, the new footings should bottom a
minimum of 24 inches below the lowest adjacent grade. Continuous stem wall or monolithic
footings should have a width of at least 24 inches and isolated footings 36 inches. Footings
should also be reinforced adequately. Such footings are estimated to sustain maximum total
settlements of about 1 % inches and differential settlements of about 5/8 inch.
The slab may be ground supported. A vapor barrier (preferably 1.0-mil thick) should .be placed
over the building pad fill, prior to placement of concrete for -the floor slab. This will minimize the
entrance of subgrade moisture :into the slab.
CONSTRUCTION RECOMMENDATIONS
Prior to beginning of construction activities, all topsoil, vegetation, roots, uncontrolled fill, and
other deleterious material should be removed from the addition footprint area plus a 5-foot wide
.perimeter area. Buried structures/utilities (if any) should be removed in their entirety.
The stripped building addition area should be compacted to the degree specified above. The
:addition area may then be filled to the required slab subgrade elevation. The fillfbackfill soils
:should comprise of clean granular soils having no particle size larger than 3 inches, The
fillfbackfill should also not have more than 10% fines {material passing the U.S_ No. 200 Sieve).
The fill should be placed in 12-inch thick (loose measure) lifts. Each lift of fill should be
compacted to 95% of the ASTM D-1557 maximum dry density.
Care should be taken to ensure that compaction operations do not cause any distress to nearby
structures (existing residence and swimming pool). Likewise, when addition area excavations,
including, footing excavations, are made adjacent to the existing building, care should be
exercised to ensure that the existing structure's foundations are not undermined. This may
require the use of sheet piling along the existing building's perimeter areas that are adjacent to
the new construction area.
When footing trenches are excavated, the excavation bottoms should .be examined. If any
organic, soft or fine-grained soils are encountered in the footing bottoms, they should be
"removed in their entirety and replaced with compacted fill. The footing subgrade as -well as the
slab subgrade soils should be compacted to 95% of the ASTM D-1557 maximum dry density.
LIMITATIONS OF STUDY
The recommendations submitted for the proposed construction are based on the available
subsurface information gathered and the information provided. Any revision in the plans for the
.proposed .structure from those enumerated in this report should be brought to the attention of
the soils engineer so that the may determine if changes in the. foundation recommendations are
required. If variations from the indicated design assumptions or deviations from the noted
:subsurface conditions are encountered .during construction, they should also be brought to the
attention of the soils engineer so that he may evaluate them in light of the foundation design
:recommendations and make appropriate modifications, if deemed necessary.

QuEST Report No. J-17225.002
The soils engineer warrants that the findings, recommendations, specifications, or professional
advice contained herein, have been promulgated after being prepared in accordance with
generally accepted professional engineering practice in the field of foundation engineering, soil
mechanics and engineering geology. No other warranties are implied or expressed.
After the plans and specifications are more complete, it is recommended that the soils and
foundation engineer be provided the opportunity to review the .final design and specifications, in
order that the earthwork and foundation recommendations may be properly interpreted and
implemented. At that time, it may be necessary to submit supplementary recommendations.
Monitoring and testing :should also be performed to verify that suitable materials are used for
foundation and building construction.
QUEST appreciates the opportunity to be of service. if we may answer any additional questions
.or be of further service, please call.
