PROPOSAL TO PERFORM A
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
AND PAVEMENT DESIGN '
Dear Ms. Lynaugh:
We are pleased to present herein. our proposal to perform a geotechnical
investigation and pavement design for the proposed memorial park restrooms.
The subject site is located on Stevens Creek Boulevard in Cupertino, California.
•
Representatives from United Soil Engineering, Inc. have visited the subject site
and vicinity for preliminary observations. We have performed various
geotechnical investigations on the vicinity of the subject site.
Based on past experience, we anticipate cost of the above mentioned
investigation to be $2,500.00 and will include the following:
•
A. SOIL INVESTIGATION
1 . Drilling of one exploratory boring to depths ranging from 3
to 35 feet below existing ground surface.
2. Sampling surface and subsurface soil (at 3 feet, 5 feet, and at
5 foot intervals thereafter) for laboratory analysis.

3. Determining groundwater level if it is within the depth of our
borings.
4. Sampling near-surface soil for laboratory analyses (Atterberg
Limits Tests, Compaction Test, and R-Value Test).
B. LABORATORY INVESTIGATION
1 . Determining moisture and density of relatively undisturbed
soil samples. If any soils are too dense or gravelly to
retrieve, the Standard Penetration Test will be substituted.
2. Determining strength of relatively undisturbed soil samples,
direct shear testing and/or unconfined compression test.
3. Performing Atterberg Limits Tests on the near-surface soil
• samples.
4. Performing compaction tests utilizing the ASTM D1557-91
procedure.
S. Performing R-Value Tests on the near-surface soil sample for
pavement design,
6. Performing gradation/sieve analysis on potentially liquefiable
samples, if encountered.
• 7. Performing consolidation tests on soft clayey strata, if
encountered.
The results of our investigation will be presented to you in a formal report
which will include the following:
C. FINAL REPORT
1 . Review existing data' pertaining to the subject site and
vicinity.
2. Site location and description (drainage pattern, existing
facility, old fill, debris, etc.).

3. General geology of the site and its vicinity, geologic hazard
assessment.
4. Recommendations for proper type of foundation and
allowable bearing values at various depths including
minimum foundation depth.
5. Recommended design for active and passive pressure for
soil retaining structures.
6. Overall recommendations for site preparation and foundation
structures, including, the import fill material specifications,
and soil compaction requirements.
7. Recommendations for concrete slab-on-grade including the
moisture barrier and base rock/drain rock specifications, if
required.
8. Recommendations for proper drainage.
9. Anticipated total and differential settlement for the proposed
structures, if required.
10. Treatment of expansive soils, if encountered.
11 . Grading specifications •including the backfill and compaction
of utility trenches and water well/monitoring well capping.
1 2. Shallow excavation recommendations.
13. Liquefaction potential.
14. Graphic presentationof boring logs, including soil •
classification, depth towater table, and location of the
borings on site plan.
1 5. Laboratory test data.
16. Rigid and/or flexible pavement design recommendation's:
a) Concrete (if required)
b) Asphalt Concrete •

We will inform the underground service alert for the location of public utility
lines. However, we will require that the owner to locate the private
underground utility lines for our reference prior to the commencement of
drilling operations.
Based on our extensive knowledge of the subsurface soil at the site and its
vicinity, we are confident that United Soil Engineering, Inc. can provide you with
premium service and quality work. If you have any questions or require
additional information, please feel free to contact our office at your
convenience.
Very truly yours,
