Observations/Finding

As requested, the site was visited by our AS Engineering and Consulting (ASEC) representative for the purpose of providing quality control inspection and testing services. Visual observation techniques were employed to verify compliance with project drawing/specifications, applicable codes, and materials
submittals. The following observations were observed on site this day.

Our ASEC representative was on site to observe the contractor (NG Grading) and for the observation/testing of the placement of fill/backfill.

The contractors continued placing GAB in the deceleration lane and on the road extension. During the excavation of soil in the road extension, a white pipe was exposed. This area was probed and was found to be very soft. It was recommended to remove approximately 2 ft x 2 ft x 100 ft long of the soft soils and replace with GAB. The contractors added water to the GAB and compacted the lifts with a smooth drum vibrating roller.

The grading crew began the excavation of retaining wall #1. The face of the wall appears to cross the LOD stakes and is within approximately 10 to 15 feet of a small tree on the outside of the property line. This was brought to the contractors and Mr. Woods attention. The grading crew only has one entrance to allow trucks down to the wall, which has extended the time it will take to load trucks and haul out the topsoil located along the footing. DCP testing will be performed once the footing has been excavated.

We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you on this project. If you have any questions regarding this report, please feel free to contact us. We will be more than happy to discuss it with you.
