Unless otherwise specified in soil and geological reports, no cut slopes should be <br />excavated higher or steeper than that allowed by the ordinances of controlling <br />governmental agencies. Additionally, short-term stability of temporary cut slopes is the <br />contractofs responsibility. <br />Erosion control and drainage devices should be designed by the project civil engineer and <br />should be constructed in compliance with the ordinances of the controlling governmental <br />agencies, and/or in accordance with the recommendations of the soil engineer or <br />engineering geologist. <br />COMPLETION <br />Observation, testing, and consultation by the geotechnical consultant should be conduded <br />during the grading operations in order to state an opinion that all cut and fill areas are <br />graded in accordance with the approved project specifications. After completion of <br />grading, and after the soil engineer and engineering geologist have finished their <br />observations of the work, final reports should be submitted subject to review by the <br />controlling governmental agencies. No further excavation or filling should be undertaken <br />without prior notification of the soil engineer and/or engineering geologist. <br />All finished cut and fill slopes should be protected from erosion and/or be planted in <br />accordance with the project specifications and/or as recommended by a landscape <br />architect. Such protection and/or planning should be undertaken as soon as practical after <br />completion of grading. <br />JOB SAFETY <br />General <br />At GSI, getting the job done safely is of primary concern. The following is the company's <br />safety considerations for use by all employees on multi-employer construction sites. <br />On-ground personnel are at highest risk of injury, and possible fatality, on grading and <br />construction projects. GSI recognizes that construction activities will vary on each site, <br />and that site safety is the prime responsibility of the contractor; however, everyone must <br />be safely conscious and responsible at all times. To achieve our goal of avoiding <br />accidents, cooperation between the client, the contractor, and GSI personnel must be <br />maintained. <br />In an effort to minimize risks associated with geotechnical testing and observation, the <br />following precautions are to be implemented for the safety of field personnel on grading <br />and construction projects: <br />Pacific Development Group <br />File:\se,venandree\4900497681.foundshopctr <br />Appendix F <br />Page 7
