Ramsey Tiger Street Infrastructure Replacement Project #: 17623.20. M NS Design Phase Geotechnical Report Proposed Tiger Street Infrastructure Improvements Tiger Street Ramsey, Minnesota CVT Project Number: 17623.20.MNS Date: December 11, 2020 A. Introduction December 11, 2020 Page - 2 The intent of this report is to present our findings and describe the means used to collect the data. The data was collected for a specific purpose and may not be suitable for other purposes. We should be consulted before attempting to use the data for other uses. A complete and thorough review of the entire document, including its assumptions and its appendices, should be undertaken immediately upon receipt. A.I. Purpose This geotechnical report was prepared to assist planning for proposed infrastructure improvements of Tiger Street in Ramsey, Minnesota. Our services were authorized by Mr. Joe Feriancek from The City of Ramsey. A.2. Scope To obtain data for analysis, a total of 10 penetration test borings were performed. The borings were drilled to depths of about 10 feet. Our engineering scope consisted of providing this report of our findings and including geotechnical recommendations for construction and design of potential utility replacements and paved areas. A.3. Boring Locations and Elevations The preferred boring locations were indicated to Chosen Valley Testing (CVT) on a site plan provided by the city. All the borings were relocated to the west side of the street due to the proximity of utilities. The Boring Location Sketch in the Appendix shows the approximate locations as drilled on aerial imagery using Google Earth software. Ground surface elevations were estimated using MnTOPO software from the Minnesota DNR and are indicated on the Log of Boring sheets in the Appendix. The elevations should be considered approximate. A.4. Geologic Background A geotechnical report is based on subsurface data collected for the specific structure or problem. Available geologic data from the region can help interpretation of the data and is briefly summarized in this section. Geologic maps indicate the soils in the area are dominated by terrace deposited sands. Bedrock is commonly more than 50 feet below the surface and is not a consideration for this project. B. Subsurface Data The borings were performed using penetration test procedures (Method of Test D1586 of the American Society for Testing and Materials). This procedure allows for the extraction of intact soil specimen from deep M I N N E S 0 T A 1 0 W A W I S C 0 N S I N
