<p> SECTION 02010</p><p>GEOTECHNICAL DATA</p><p>PART 1 - GENERAL</p><p>1.1 SUMMARY</p><p>A. Section Includes: 1. Soils Investigation Data: Soil and subsurface investigations conducted at site by an independent testing laboratory and report with log of borings prepared. 2. Report obtained for Architect and Engineer design use only. 3. Copy of report follows this Section. </p><p>1.2 INVESTIGATION DATA</p><p>A. Soil and subsurface investigations were conducted at site. Investigation results are documented in letter from (note here Geotechnical Engineer and date of report).</p><p>B. Interpretation: 1. Soils investigation data are available for information and convenience of Bidders, and is not warranted to indicate actual conditions. 2. Owner, Architect, and Engineers do not assume responsibility for variations in kind, depth, quantity, and condition of soils. Owner, Architect, and Engineers disclaim responsibility for accuracy, true location, and extent of soils investigation prepared by others; and further disclaim responsibility for interpretation of soils investigation data by Bidders such as projecting soil bearing values, rock profiles, soil stability, and presence, level, and extent of underground water. 3. Soils investigation report and data are not part of Contract Documents. 4. Report any variances from Geotechnical Report in writing to the Owner’s Representative.</p><p>1.3 BIDDER INVESTIGATION</p><p>A. Bidder shall visit site and become familiar with site conditions.</p><p>B. Bidder may, at Bidder's own expense and prior to bidding, make soil surveys and investigations Bidder considers necessary.</p><p>C. Bidder assumes risk that soil and underground conditions may be other than that indicated in soil investigation data.</p><p>D. Procedure:</p><p>02010 - 1 LK 00000 1. Obtain authorization from Owner prior to start of borings or subsurface investigations. 2. Immediately upon completion of Bidder subsurface investigation, return site areas affected by investigations to condition existing prior to start of Bidder subsurface investigations as directed by Owner.</p><p>1.4 CLAIMS</p><p>A. Claims for conditions found to be not as indicated in soil investigation data not permitted, unless otherwise indicated in Owner/Contractor agreement.</p><p>PART 2 - PRODUCTS</p><p>Not Used</p><p>PART 3 - EXECUTION</p><p>Not Used</p><p>END OF SECTION</p><p>02010 - 2 LK 00000</p>
