Excerpt from Proposal for Subsurface Investigation, Geotechnical Engineering Services, and Environmental Site Assessment: Chinatown Parcel B, Boston, Ma, December 13, 1990 In preparation of this proposal we have visited the site and researched the subsurface conditions prevalent in the immediate area to define the scope of services in terms of boring depth requirements and site accessibility. Based upon our research, we anticipate fill potentially underlain by organic deposits to depths of 10 to 20 feet. Stiff clays gradually becoming softer with depth will likely underlie the organic deposits and fill for depths of up to 100 feet or more prior to encountering dense granular deposits and/or bedrock. Due to these conditions, undisturbed Shelby tube sampling techniques in the clayey soils, to facilitate laboratory strength and consolidation testing, and rock core will be required to define the subsurface conditions.
