Project: Proposed Residence, Lots 14A and 14B, Bighorn Fifth Addition, 4872 Meadow Lane, Vail,

Construction Activities Observed: Excavation for lower bench of Primary(southern) Duplex
Residence.
Equipment in Use:
H-P/Kumar's Site Activities: Excavation for lower bench was cut in multiple levels from about 3'
to about 20' below adjacent ground surface. Materials exposed in
the bottom of excavation consisted of dense silty sand and gravel
in the north area, and entryway had silty sand and gravel at
subgrade. West and southwest (lower) portion bench needed to be
deepened to sand and gravel soils due to low bearing clayey sand
soils. Lower east footing line was very moist to wet and also
needed removed. Seepage and entry at middle south area being
dewatered.

Weather: Clear, calm, dry Temperature: 64°F at 11:30 am
Construction Activities Observed: Site Meeting with Pat Brown of Beaumont Excavating for lower
level bench excavation of Primary Residence.
Equipment in Use:
H-P/Kumar's Site Activities: We met Pat Brown to discuss subxcavating of clayey sand areas.
The unsuitable areas were probed with a bar and penetrations of 6"
to 2 feet noted. It was recommended to lower the drain at the south
side, subexcavate to natural sandy gravels and replace with Class
2 aggregate base course. The west/southwest area excavation was
recommended to be deepened 1 to 2 feet to natural sandy gravels
and if groundwater not encountered, extend the footings down. If
groundwater was encountered, dewater and place Class 2 base
course. The on-site soils are unsuitable for below footing fill. A
return visit is scheduled for early the week of (8/27/18)to verify
soils and dewatering.
