- A future RV and boat storage facility is to be constructed on University Parkway to the east of Runway 32. It is our understanding that proposed improvements consist solely of paved parking/storage areas and proposed stormwater management areas.
The proposal/fee herein does not include time for a representative of Tierra to be badged at the airport to provide escort services to project personnel. Escort services will be provided by Atkins, if required.
Based on a review of aerial photography, it appears that the proposed project location is accessible to our standard geotechnical equipment.
Scope of Services
The objective of our study will be to obtain information concerning subsurface conditions at the site in order to base engineering estimates and recommendations in each of the following areas:
- Feasibility of utilizing the in-situ soil for support of the proposed building structures, including the use of shallow foundations.
- Design parameters required for the proposed foundation systems, including allowable bearing pressures, foundation levels and subgrade recommendations.
- General location and description of potentially deleterious materials discovered in the borings including existing fills or surficial organics.
- Identification of groundwater levels and estimation of the Seasonal High Groundwater Table (SHGWT).
- Estimate in-situ coefficient of permeability for the near surface soils in the proposed pond locations.
- In order to meet the preceding objectives, we propose to provide the following services:
- Review published soils and topographic information. This published information will be obtained from the appropriate Florida Quadrangle Map published by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), as well as the Sarasota County Soil Survey of Florida, published by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
- Execute a program of subsurface exploration consisting of the following:
