SECTION 00320 - GEOTECHNICAL REPORT
1.1 SUMMARY
A. A geotechnical report was prepared by Kleinfelder. The report was entitled: “Geotechnical Investigation,
Federal express Sort Building, Federal express Terminal, Oakland, California”; dated August 23, 2011.
B. Geotechnical report information represents only the conditions found during the exploration and does not
constitute a representation, either expressed or implied, that the conditions indicated are typical of those
throughout the Project site or any part of the Project site. The information is available to assist the
Contractor in evaluating the extent and complexity of the Work. Design recommendations which may
appear in the soil consultant's report are made only for evaluation purposes and are not in any manner a
part of the Contract Documents or of the Contract between the Contractor and the Owner.
C. Without cost to the Owner, the Contractor may request permission to make additional soil borings or other
explorations necessary to further determine the Project site conditions. Coordinate additional exploratory
work with the Owner so as not to interfere with Owner's use of the Project site.
D. Upon completion of additional exploratory work, backfill the test holes and pits using removed material. If
removed material is not sufficient, provide additional compactable material of character similar to the native
soil. Compact the backfill to same density as adjacent soil.
E. The Contractor shall be fully responsible for any deductions or conclusions made on the basis of information
contained in the appended report and findings of additional explorations.
F. All Geotechnical information is provided as an attachment to this specification.
