unexpected site conditions are discovered, the scope of work may change.
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATIONS TESTING SERVICES

SMC will take reasonable precautions to minimize site
damage due to its operations, but has not included in
the fee the cost of restoration of any resulting
damage. SMC shall not be liable for damage or injury
due to encountering subsurface structures (pipes,
tanks, utilities or others) not called to SMC's attention
in writing or are not correctly shown on the drawings
furnished by client or client's representative. If the
client desires, SMC will restore any damage to the
site and add the cost of restoration to the fee.
Field work, laboratory testing and engineering
analysis will be performed in accordance with
generally accepted soil and foundation engineering
practices. Samples are retained in our laboratory for
30 days from date of report and then destroyed
unless other disposition is requested. The data
reported applies only to the soils sampled and the
conditions encountered at each boring location. This
does not imply or guarantee that soils between
borings will be identical in character. Isolated
inclusions of better or poorer soils can be found on
any site. SMC will not be liable for extra work or other
consequences due to changed conditions
encountered between borings.
Any exploration, testing and analysis associated with
the investigation will be performed by SMC for the
client's sole use to fulfill the purpose of this
Agreement. SMC is not responsible for use or
interpretation of the information by others. The client
recognizes that subsurface conditions may vary from
those encountered in borings or explorations.
Information and recommendations developed by SMC
are based solely on available information and for the
currently proposed improvement.
Client shall furnish SMC with at least one working day's notice on any
part-time (less than 8 hours /day) job when field personnel are requested.
SMC shall make reasonable effort to provide field personnel in a timely
manner but reserves the right to schedule field personnel as deemed
appropriate. Minimum charges will be billed when work cancellations are
received after field personnel have left for the project site.
SMC personnel will provide a professional service based on observations
and testing of the work of a contractor, subcontractor, or other
service /material provider, as specifically requested. SMC field personnel

material tests at various locations and the making of visual observations
relating to earthwork, foundations, and /or materials as specifically
requested by the client and agreed to by SMC, and will be limited to those
specifically agreed services. Such services will be performed by SMC
using that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised, under similar
circumstances, by reputable members of the profession practicing in this
or similar localities.
Observations and testing of soils and/or materials by SMC in no way
implies a guarantee or warranty of the work of the contractor,
subcontractor, or other service /material provider. SMC's work or failure to
perform same shall in no way excuse such contractor, subcontractor or
other service /material provider from liability in the event of subsequently
discovered defects, omissions, errors, deficiencies or failure to perform in
