from exposing pockets of unsuitable soil, the County requires the geotechnical
consultant to provide an increased level of testing and observation. Tc date, .
all discovered hidden soil conditions have been promptly evaluated by staff from
Harding Lawson Associates, thus allowing the County's Construction Manager to
instruct the contractor on corrective measures to be taken.
