Report on Subsurface Conditions. A report on subsurface investigations shall be obtained for all sites unless the work is limited to remodeling of, or construction of betterments to, the interior of an existing structure. The Design Professional must coordinate the work of the structural engineer and the geotechnical engineer, as well as any testing laboratory pertaining to the scope of the investigations that these experts recommend in order to complete these documents. The geotechnical engineer should prepare the report on subsurface conditions. In general, the report should cover a test boring program, seismic exploration (if appropriate), a laboratory testing program, and electrical resistivity testing. After the initial results of the subsurface report (Stage One Statement) are complete, the structural engineer should complete the preliminary design of the foundations and subsurface structures. This design should be provided to the geotechnical engineer, who shall then conduct such additional subsurface investigations as the geotechnical engineer shall deem appropriate. Upon completion of the Stage One Statement, the structural engineer shall make such changes to the structural design as the structural engineer deems appropriate, subject to the approval of the Design Professional. regarding unsuitable fill or rock, the Design Professional should give immediate notice in writing to the Using Agency and Owner. The Design Professional should include as a separate line item in its Statement of Probable Construction Cost the cost to remove and replace the fill or rock, and should make provisions in the Contract for the CM/gc to include in its base price an amount to remove the estimated quantities. The unit prices established should be based upon the Design Professional’s experience in the area and verified by communicating with local contractors. The Design Professional should also compute, to the best of its professional abilities and judgment, the amount of unsuitable conditions probable to be found, and obtain from the geotechnical engineer the following opinion: Based upon an analysis of test borings made at the site in a reasonable number to permit the forming of a judgment and resolving doubtful signs of rock in favor of the assumption that all signs of rock represent actual conditions, it is (my) (our) opinion and best judgment that the following quantity of rock will be encountered: [amount to be inserted by registered geotechnical engineer]. The Design Professional must include language in the Supplementary General Conditions putting the proposer on notice of the existence of such unsuitable conditions. The following is sample language that should normally be used when the Design Professional has knowledge of unsuitable subsurface conditions: The following is sample language for rock:

The Design Professional must include language in the Supplementary General Conditions putting the proposer on notice of the existence of such unsuitable conditions. The following is sample language that should normally be used when the Design Professional has knowledge of unsuitable subsurface conditions: Proposers are to include in the base price the cost of excavating cubic yards of unsuitable fill material. Payment will be made for all unsuitable fill material in excess of cubic yards at the net unit price of per cubic yard, which includes all overhead and profit. In the event that it is necessary to excavate less than cubic yards of unsuitable fill material, the Owner will take a credit of per cubic yard. The unit price of per cubic yard shall include the excavation, haul off, and disposal of all unsuitable fill material. The Design Professional shall be responsible for calculating the amount of all unsuitable fill material removed. Measurement of unsuitable fill material shall be calculated on the basis of in-place compacted fill material and not expanded hauled fill material. Proposers are to include in the base price the cost of importing cubic yards of additional fill material to the site. Payment will be made for all fill material in excess of cubic yards at the net unit price of per cubic yard, which includes all overhead and profit. In the event it is necessary to haul in less than cubic yards of fill material, the Owner will take a credit of per cubic yard. The unit price of per cubic yard shall include the haul in, placement, and compaction of fill material in accordance with the project specifications for fill material. The Design Professional shall be responsible for calculating the amount of all fill material brought to the site. Measurement of cubic yards of fill material or excavation shall be calculated using compacted in-place fill material and not expanded hauled fill material. The following is sample language for rock:: Proposers are to include in the base price the cost of excavating cubic yards of [RIPPABLE] [MASS] [TRENCH] [CAISSON] rock. Payment will be made for all [RIPPABLE] [MASS] [TRENCH] [CAISSON] rock in excess of cubic yards at the net unit price of per cubic yard, which includes all overhead and profit.
