Excerpt from Proposal for Subsurface Investigation, Geotechnical Engineering Services, and Environmental Site Assessment: Chinatown Parcel B, Boston, Ma, December 13, 1990
In preparation of this proposal we have visited the site and researched the subsurface conditions prevalent in the immediate area to define the scope of services in terms of boring depth requirements and site accessibility. Based upon our research, we anticipate fill potentially underlain by organic deposits to depths of 10 to 20 feet. Stiff clays gradually becoming softer with depth will likely underlie the organic deposits and fill for depths of up to 100 feet or more prior to encountering dense granular deposits and/or bedrock. Due to these conditions, undisturbed Shelby tube sampling techniques in the clayey soils, to facilitate laboratory strength and consolidation testing, and rock core will be required to define the subsurface conditions.

Excerpt from Proposal for Subsurface Investigation, Geotechnical Engineering Services, and Environmental Site Assessment: Chinatown Parcel B, Boston, Ma, December 13, 1990
It is our understanding that the Parcel B development is being sponsored by the Asian Community Development Corporation (ACDC). The design, prepared by the architects Woo & Williams, proposes a central courtyard enclosed by residential structures of 10 stories on Washington Street and up to four (4) stories on Oak Street, Maple Place and the Parcel division line. Above-grade parking is currently planned off-site; however, if this plan proves not feasible, consideration would be given to a one-level below-grade parking garage.
The scope of services is described below followed by a presentation of the budget.
Subsurface Exploration
Utilizing our in-house drilling equipment, we propose a total of four (4) borings to depths of up to approximately 100 feet (two borings to 100 feet and two borings to 50 feet) at the locations shown on the attached Proposed Boring Location Plan. The actual depth of each borehole will be determined in the field by our resident engineer.
Drilling and sampling will be in accordance with all current applicable ASTM and professional standards. Where clayey, cohesive soils are encountered, thin-walled tube samples will be taken. Split-spoon samples will be taken at representative strata. Samples will be placed in sealed Jars and labeled showing the boring number, sample number, sample depth, number of blows per six-inch increment required to drive the split spoon sampler, and sample recovery. Rock core will be obtained in one (1) borehole if deemed appropriate and placed in core boxes. In addition, field vane shear tests will be performed to correlate laboratory-determined shear strength parameters if deemed appropriate in the cohesive strata.
