Pursuani to your request, Federal Engineering & Testing, Inc. (FET) has performed a compaction test at the referenced
project An the reverse side. The purpose of our test was to determine the degree of compaction of the tested layer of
material , nly. In no way shall a compaction test replace a soil bearing capacity determination. A soil boring test must be
performa d by the client prior to construction to verify subsoil conditions. Our scope of services only included testing the top
12" of a i ded fill material. FET was not contracted to perform supervision of the building pad preparation, This testing of
the addi:ld fill material does not include an analysis of the underlying soil materials to determine if they are capable of
supportiii " g the proposed structure without settlement. This density compaction test does not warranty any underlying soil
materialt or conditions below the tested top 12 inches of material. If no soil borings have been performed in the location of
the r , sed structure, we recommend performing soil borings below all foundation areas of the proposed structure to
verif� diunderlying soil conditions.
Environtental analysis of the soil materials is not part of the scope of services. If environmental analysis of the soils is
require provide a proposal for ng an environmental analysis of the soil materials. The scope of services is
for dete 1-nination of the degree of compaction of the tested layer of material only. No other analysis is implied or warranted.
Job proi ct specifications were not available at the time the work was performed. Determination ofthe pass/fail compaction
results z e based on current common industry requirements of 95% of the ASTM D-1557 standard for building foundations
and 98 ofthe AASHTO 7-180 standard for paved areas such as roadways and parking lots. |fdifferent specifications are
required, Federal Engineering &TeotinQ. Inc. ohe|i be notified.
