City of Arden Hills <br />Project B2502087 <br />June 13, 2025 <br />Page 20 <br />E.1.b. Groundwater Levels <br />We made groundwater measurements under the conditions reported herein and shown on the <br />exploration logs, and interpreted in the text of this report. Note that the observation periods were <br />relatively short, and project planning can expect groundwater levels to fluctuate in response to rainfall, <br />flooding, irrigation, seasonal freezing and thawing, surface drainage modifications and other seasonal <br />and annual factors. <br />E.2. Continuity of Professional Responsibility <br />E.2.a. Plan Review <br />We based this report on a limited amount of information, and we made a number of assumptions to help <br />us develop our recommendations. We should be retained to review the geotechnical aspects of the designs <br />and specifications. This review will allow us to evaluate whether we anticipated the design correctly, if any <br />design changes affect the validity of our recommendations, and if the design and specifications correctly <br />interpret and implement our recommendations. <br />E.2.b. Construction Observations and Testing <br />We recommend retaining us to perform the required observations and testing during construction as part <br />of the ongoing geotechnical evaluation. This will allow us to correlate the subsurface conditions exposed <br />during construction with those encountered by the borings and provide professional continuity from the <br />design phase to the construction phase. If we do not perform observations and testing during construction, <br />it becomes the responsibility of others to validate the assumption made during the preparation of this <br />report and to accept the construction-related geotechnical engineer-of-record responsibilities. <br />E.3. Use of Report <br />This report is for the exclusive use of the addressed parties. Without written approval, we assume no <br />responsibility to other parties regarding this report. Our evaluation, analyses and recommendations may <br />not be appropriate for other parties or projects. <br />E.4. Standard of Care <br />In performing its services, Braun Intertec used that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised under <br />similar circumstances by reputable members of its profession currently practicing in the same locality. <br />No warranty, express or implied, is made.
