Re: Barry University Parking Lot
Limerock Density Testing
Dear Mr. Esher:
HARPER PARTNERS, INC.
It is our understanding that the Village is requiring a letter from the Engineer -of-
Record verifying that the limerock based used in the construction of the subject
parking lot was compacted in accordance with the Village approved permit
drawings. This letter is being issued in response.
Random testing for the required compaction was conducted by Eastcoast Testing
& Engineering, Inc. on April 26, 2002. The report issued by Eastcoast is attached
herewith (including an enlarged copy of the actual test results that is clearer than
the original fax).
The permitted construction documents required a minimum of 98% compaction
based on a Modified Proctor. All six tests conducted by Eastcoast exceeded 100%
of the compaction achieved under laboratory methods for a Modified Proctor.
These test results provide substantial evidence that the compaction of the limerock
base is in accordance with permitted construction documents and, based on these
results, this Engineer has determined that the compaction is acceptable under the
permitted construction documents.
We hope that this letter satisfactorily addresses the request of the Village's
Building Department. Please feel free to call me directly should you have any
remaining concerns or comments.
