Ramsey Business Park 95 Infrastructure Replacement December 9, 2020 <br />Project #: 17624.20.MNS Page - 2 <br />Design Phase Geotechnical Report <br />Proposed Business Park 95 Infrastructure Improvements <br />McKinley St. NW, Radium St NW., Unity St. NW 140th Ave NW. <br />Ramsey, Minnesota <br />CVT Project Number: 17624.20.MNS <br />Date: December 9, 2020 <br />A. Introduction <br />The intent of this report is to present our findings and describe the means used to collect the data. The data <br />was collected for a specific purpose and may not be suitable for other purposes. We should be consulted <br />before attempting to use the data for other uses. A complete and thorough review of the entire document, <br />including its assumptions and its appendices, should be undertaken immediately upon receipt. <br />A.1. Purpose <br />This geotechnical report was prepared to assist planning for proposed infrastructure improvements of <br />McKinley St. NW, Unity St. NW, Radium St, NW., 140th St NW in Ramsey, Minnesota. Our services <br />were authorized by Mr. Joe Feriancek from The City of Ramsey. <br />A.2. Scope <br />To obtain data for analysis, a total of 8 penetration test borings were performed. The borings were drilled <br />to depths of about 10 feet. Our engineering scope consisted of providing this report of our findings and <br />including geotechnical recommendations for construction and design of potential utility replacements and <br />paved areas. <br />A.3. Boring Locations and Elevations <br />The preferred boring locations were indicated to Chosen Valley Testing (CVT) on a site plan provided by <br />the city. Several of the borings were relocated due to the proximity of utilities. The Boring Location <br />Sketch in the Appendix shows the approximate locations as drilled on aerial imagery using Google Earth <br />software. Ground surface elevations were estimated using MnTOPO software from the Minnesota DNR <br />and are indicated on the Log of Boring sheets in the Appendix. The elevations should be considered <br />approximate. <br />A.4. Geologic Background <br />A geotechnical report is based on subsurface data collected for the specific structure or problem. Available <br />geologic data from the region can help interpretation of the data and is briefly summarized in this section. <br />Geologic maps indicate the soils in the area are dominated by terrace deposited sands. Bedrock is <br />commonly more than 50 feet below the surface and is not a consideration for this project. <br />MINNESOTA <br />IOWA WISCONSIN <br />
