Job Order No.: 17-3815
Permit No.:
In accordance with your request, we have observed the general site conditions for the above
reference construction area(s). The site consists of naturally occurring soils and/or added
fill and is sufficiently free of deleterious materials. We have performed density tests, last
test dated November 21, 2017, on the above mentioned soils as applicable.
Based on our observations and the above mentioned tests, site preparation procedures were
in general accordance with the specifications set forth by the latest edition of the Florida
Building Code Chapter 18 as it pertains to the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and ASTM
Standards. The procedures also comply with the approved plans, specifications,
county/municipality codes, and our foundation recommendations as described in the subsoil
investigation report dated December 16, 2016.
Based on the above mentioned observations and tests/reports, this letter certifies that the
construction area(s) can provide the design pressure of 2,000 psf (pounds per square foot) as
required on the client provided plans. If the proposed 2-story residence is designed for
2,000 psf, then the construction area(s) will support the foundation without settlement
detrimental to the structure placed upon it.
Sincerely,®®®�®�IIIIIVia�`'�/�,
