Dear Mr. Clifford:
Per request, TerraPacific Consultants, Inc. (TCI) has reviewed the above referenced plan
for subgrade densification and slab re -leveling at the subject building within the Legacy
Villas at La Quinta Homeowners Association (HOA) and prepared this response to address
additional comments (number 4 and 6) on the City of La Quinta Design & Development
Department correction list from the geotechnical perspective. TCI performed a limited
geotechnical evaluation at the site at the request of the HOA, including the two
condominium units in the subject building, which had been impacted by an apparent earth
fissure after a flash flood event that occurred on September 8, 2014. Our evaluation was
limited to visual reviews and comparative manometer (floor -level) surveys performed on
two occasions in October 2014 and January 2016. No subsurface exploration was
conducted at the subject building by TCI to expose the as -built foundation and underlying
supporting soil conditions.

URETEK Solutions: A Better Fit for the Environment
URETEK Environmental Advantages to Traditional Repair Methods
• Minimal to no I ndfill us: URETEK processes use small, 5/8" drilled holes to inject structural polymer through the
concrete foundation into the weak soil strata. URETEK polymers are specifically formulated to cure to 90% strength
within 15 minutes or less of injection, URETEK operators have surgical control on the volume of material being
installed. There is little to no wasted polymer that goes into our landfill system.
• Smaller, Effuceent, Operation: With over 20 years in the structural polymer business, URETEK methods and
processes have been advanced and modified to meet extreme efficiency, both for our business and the client.
Modifications include utilizing higher efficiency pumping equipment, low emission generators and gas powered tools,
and an overall experience factor that allows us to complete the project faster, avoiding additional transit costs, burning
less fuels, minimizing drains on natural resources.
• Restore. Preserve. and Extend the Useful Lifg of Concrete: Avoiding a complete break out and replacement of
the concrete, preserves, restores, and extends the useful life of the concrete that would have been broken out and
place in a landfill. Typically, URETEK can realign and stabilize most concrete foundations and structures experiencing
settlement. Additionally, URETEK's soil stabilization avoids large excavation and any potential hazards to the local
environment.
• • URETEK material is specifically formulated not to mix with
outside liquids during and after injection/curing. Injecting URETEK polymers is safe to use around residential
subdivisions, buildings, and virtually any populated area where water is present in the soil.

1.0 Background CI f1OF LA
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
In general, TCI is of the opinion that the fissure impacting the subject building is a large-
scale subsidence feature that extends well beyond the limits of the HOA. The feature is
likely due to groundwater withdrawal from the Coachella Valley, which is a phenomenon
that has been monitored since 1996 and is discussed in much greater detail within
published United States Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2014-5075,
which was prepared in cooperation with the Coachella Valley Water District.
The fissure appears to project beneath the subject building and has created voids in the
supporting subgrade soils, likely contributing to the approximate 2 inches of floor
differential inside the building (2.8 inches including garage stem walls). TCI performed
comparative manometer (water level) surveys on the slab -on -grade floor in both units of
the building since the fissure initially developed and found essentially no change in the
overall floor differential, i.e. measurements were within the repeatability of the manometer
instrument in October 2014 and January 2016.
2.0 Geotechnical Opinion
Based on our limited evaluation, TCI recommended the voids created by the fissure be
filled and the HOA consider various options for dealing with the measured floor differential,
ranging from underpinning the structure to bedrock (estimated to be 50 feet and deeper),
to localized grade beam/foundation augmentation, to performing cosmetic repairs and
monitoring. It is our opinion the proposed subgrade densification by Eaglelift with the
proprietary foam, Uretek, is a reasonable approach to filling the subgrade voids and re -
leveling the structure. We understand that helical piers being installed are to assist in the
re -leveling process and allow Eaglelift to provide an extended warranty for the re -leveling
procedure that cannot be offered with the use of Uretek alone.
3.0 Limitations
It should be understood that the proposed subgrade densification and re -leveling approach
proposed does not address the root cause of the subsidence because it is a large-scale
phenomenon affecting the earth beyond the limits of the HOA and cannot be addressed
from just the subject building. Regardless of the approach taken, some risk will remain and
as such, the site conditions should be periodically monitored and reassessed to determine if
additional measures are required.

4.0 Drainage
Proper site drainage is an integral part to any repair approach. Ponded surface water
should be avoided in the vicinity of the subject building. This can be accomplished by
installing roof gutters with downspouts, sloping the ground surface away from the
perimeter of the building, and directing surface drainage to the yard drain system.
Additionally, adequate clearance between the bottom of the stucco weep screed and
adjacent grades should be checked to provide a minimum of 2 or 4 inches between
impervious or earthen areas, respectively.
Irrigation should be monitored in the vicinity of the building to verify that the duration and
cycling is limited to only what is required to sustain the landscaping. Drip irrigation is
recommended instead of spray heads.
5.0 Closure
It is difficult, in a single report, to address all of the items associated with the varying
conditions. As such, we expect questions may arise that are not covered herein. We
consider it part of our assignment to address any unresolved issues. Our investigation was
performed using the skill and degree of care ordinarily exercised, under similar
circumstances, by reputable soils engineers and engineering geologists practicing in this or
similar localities. Since geotechnical engineering is based in part on experience and
judgment, other consultants could arrive at different conclusions. Since TCI was not
involved in the original design or construction of the project, no warranty either expressed
or implied is provided for the site. ,

Subject:
Limited Geotechnical Evaluation of Earth Fissure
October 24, 2014
File No. 29106.3
Legacy Villas at La Quinta HOA
Retention Basin No. 5 and 48-785 through 48-809 Legacy Drive
La Quinta, California
Dear Ms. Saldivar:
Per the request of the HOA, TerraPacific Consultants, Inc. (TCI) has completed a limited
geotechnical evaluation of the earth fissure at the Legacy Villas project. The feature was
clearly visible across the west side of Basin No. 5 and caused separations and cracks in
adjacent HOA common area surface improvements. The earth fissure and related distress
was reported after a thunderstorm/flash flood that occurred at the site on September 8,
2014. Understanding surface manifestations of the fissure also developed more than 900
feet to the south within and adjacent Eisenhower Drive, it is our opinion the feature was
likely a result of large-scale subsidence. The most likely causes are due to groundwater
withdrawal or consolidation within the alluvial or lake deposits at depth. With this in mind,
we have completed this preliminary evaluation in order to map the approximate extent of
the surface manifestation of the fissure on -site, determine if adjacent private residential
foundations have been adversely impacted, and to provide preliminary recommendations
and concepts for repairs.
1.0 EARTH FISSURE OBSERVATIONS
Surface manifestations of the earth fissure were observed by our office during site visits
between September 11, 2014 and October 1, 2014. The approximate locations of the
observed manifestations are presented on the Geotechnical Plan, Plate 1 in Appendix A.
The following paragraphs provide descriptions of the observed features.
The largest surface expression transected the west side of Basin No. 5, generally in a
north -south direction, in the form of a depression/opening a maximum of approximately 3
to 8 feet wide near the surface, before bridging with soil typically by a depth of 5 feet.
The contractor working on basin drainage improvements at the time of the flood, Maco
Equipment Rentals, Inc. (Maco), began a temporary repair of the depression/opening on
September 17, 2014 due to a weather forecast indicating the potential for additional flash
flooding. TCI did not observe the operation firsthand, but did provide Maco with
temporary repair recommendations, which included cleaning and roughly squaring out a
trench along the sides and bottom of the fissure, lining the sides and bottom with filter
fabric, and then backfilling with an imported clay layer and on -site soil. Figures 1 and 2 in
Appendix A depict photographs of the location of the fissure across the west side of Basin
No. 5 prior to and after backfilling.
4010 Morena Boulevard, Suite 108 • San Diego, CA 92117 • (858) 521-1 190 - (858) 521-1 199 fax • terrapac.net
Roughly in line with the depression/opening within the basin, three smaller surface voids
off the southeast corner of 48-805 Legacy Drive (Unit 189) were noted. The two features
closest to the residence were noted during our initial review on September 11, 2014 and
measured less than 3 feet in length and approximately 4 to 6 inches wide at the surface,
with depths of approximately 10 to more than 22 feet (limit of tape measure). The third
feature was reported to have opened up sometime during the weekend after the temporary
basin repair, and was measured less than 5 feet in length and up to approximately 2 feet
wide and 8 feet deep. Figures 3 and 4 in Appendix A include photographs of the surface
voids south of the residence.
Further north, the fissure appears to project between 48-805 and 48-809 Legacy Drive, as
numerous separations and displacement of hardscape and separations of the soil and
footings in planter areas between the residences were observed. On the north side of 48-
809 Legacy Drive, the fissure appears to jog northeast underneath the corner of the
building across the driveway and then under the southeast corner and along the east side
of 48-785 Legacy Drive before apparent surface manifestations could no longer be
detected. Figures 5 and 6 show example photographs of the features observed in these
areas.
2.0 VISUAL INSPECTIONS AND MANOMETER SURVEYS OF PRIVATE RESIDENCES
On October 1, 2014 a total of seven of the eight residences within the four buildings
adjacent the west side of Basin No. 5 were visually inspected for evidence of foundation
level movement due to their proximity to the fissure. In addition, manometer (floor -level)
surveys were conducted on the concrete slab -on -grade floors and stem walls of the
residences to measure overall floor differential/tilt in the buildings. The floor -level survey
uses a manometer, which is a simple water -level device used to measure points of relative
elevation on the slab. The survey points are corrected for thickness of floor coverings and
then graphically contoured to illustrate the shape of the slab surface.
Most new floor slabs are built to within approximately '/2 to 3A inches of level. Levels of
unevenness due to construction practices may be even higher. However, for most
practical purposes, floor tilt in excess of 1-inch usually indicates post -construction
foundation movement.
An important aspect used when analyzing floor deformation is the tilt ratio. The tilt ratio is
typically defined as the greatest vertical elevation differential taken over a 20-foot
horizontal distance. Most Geotechnical Engineers agree that damages will often begin to
manifest when tilt ratios exceed 1-inch of vertical differential over a 20-foot horizontal
distance, which represents a 1:240 tilt ratio. Results of the manometer surveys and
significant distress features observed that appeared newer and possibly related to the earth
fissure are described in the following sections.

2.1 48-785 and 48-789 Legacy Drive
The building containing these residences (Units 193 and 194) exhibited a maximum floor
differential of 1.9 inches (2.8 inches including garage stem walls). The high points are
located along the west side of the building in Unit 193 and low points are in the hall
bathroom, along the east wall of the middle bedroom and southwest garage stem wall in
Unit 194. The corresponding maximum overall tilt ratio is approximately 1:171, with
locally higher ratios of approximately 1:147 measured across shorter horizontal distances.
The contoured results of the manometer survey are presented on Figure 7 in Appendix A.
In general, distress features observed in the building that may be attributable to the recent
earth fissure were fairly limited. Features included a few minor drywall cracks inside Unit
194 and some stucco cracking along the garage walls at both units. In addition, the owner
of Unit 194 reported a new slab crack up to approximately 1/32-inch wide at the southeast
corner of the garage. The approximate locations of these features are also presented on
Figure 7 in Appendix A.
2.2 48-793 and 48-797 Legacy Drive
The building containing these residences (Units 191 and 192) exhibited a maximum floor
differential of 0.9-inch (including garage stem walls). The high points are located inside
the half and full bathrooms of Unit 192 and the low point is located in the hallway of Unit
191. The corresponding maximum overall tilt ratio is approximately 1:533, with locally
higher ratios of approximately 1:300 measured across shorter horizontal distances. The
contoured results of the manometer survey are presented on Figure 8 in Appendix A.
In general, no distress features were observed in the building that appear to be related to
the recent earth fissure. Some fine drywall and stucco cracks were observed at the units;
however, the features were considered minor and likely due to material shrinkage and/or
normal foundation adjustments.
2.3 48-801 and 48-805 Legacy Drive
The building containing these residences (Units 189 and 190) exhibited a maximum floor
differential of 1.2 inches (1.3 inches including garage stem walls). The high point is
located on the west wall of the master bedroom of Unit 189 and the low points are along
the east side of Unit 189. The corresponding maximum overall tilt ratio is approximately
1:398, with locally higher ratios of approximately 1:228 measured across shorter
horizontal distances. The contoured results of the manometer survey are presented on
Figure 9 in Appendix A.

In general, no distress features were observed in the building that appear to be related to
the recent earth fissure. Some fine drywall and stucco cracks were observed at the units;
however, the features were considered minor and likely due to material shrinkage and/or
normal foundation adjustments. It should be noted, there were the exterior features (i.e.
separations and displacement of hardscape and soil) along the east side of Unit 189
described in Section 1.0 above.
2.4 48-809 Legacy Drive
TCI was only able to survey Unit 188 of the building, as access to Unit 187 was not
obtained during our site visit on October 1, 2014. Unit 188 exhibited a maximum floor
differential of 1.9 inches (including garage stem walls). The high point is located at the
northwest corner of the residence and the low points are located at the southern portion of
the residence in the master bedroom. The corresponding maximum overall tilt ratio is
approximately 1:590, with locally higher ratios of approximately 1:175 measured across
shorter horizontal distances. The contoured results of the manometer survey are presented
on Figure 9 in Appendix A.
In general, distress features observed in Unit 188 that appear to be related to the recent
earth fissure were fairly limited. Features included a few fine drywall cracks inside the unit
near the northwest corner and some stucco cracking at the west side of the garage. In
addition, there was a relatively wide crack (3/32-inch or greater) in the tile flooring, concrete
slab in the hallway and middle bedroom with some vertical displacement. However, there
were no drywall cracks in the hall and bedroom area adjacent the slab crack and it is
unknown if the slab crack was present prior to the earth fissure developing. The
approximate locations of these features are also presented on Figure 10 in Appendix A. It
should be noted, there were the exterior features (i.e. separations and displacement of
hardscape and soil) along the west side and driveway in front of the unit described in
Section 1.0 above.
3.0 DISCUSSION
The earth fissure that was discovered after the flash flood event of September 8, 2014 is
most likely caused by large-scale subsidence due to groundwater withdrawal and/or
consolidation of alluvial soils or lake deposits at depth. The United States Geological
Survey (USGS) has been monitoring large scale subsidence associated with groundwater
level declines in the Coachella Valley since 1996. USGS Scientific Investigations Report
2014-5075, prepared in cooperation with the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD),
presents the results of subsidence monitoring in three areas of the Coachella Valley
between 1995 and 2010. The Legacy Villas project is situated along the northern flank of
an area identified as the La Quinta area, which experienced approximately 2 feet of land
subsidence over the measured time period.

Given the earth fissure is likely related to large-scale subsidence beyond the control of the
HOA, we have prepared the following recommendations to help mitigate adverse effects of
the fissure. The following recommendations are considered practical methods for
addressing the geologic phenomenon affecting the site. However, regardless of the
approach taken, some risk will remain and as such, the site conditions should be
periodically monitored and reassessed to determine if additional measures are required.
3.1 Fissure Repair
Regardless of which repair option presented below is selected, it should be understood that
the repair will not prevent additional subsidence and development of additional surface
manifestations of the fissure. The following options are intended to fill in the
openings/voids in order to minimize infiltration of surface run-off into the fissure. Prior to
enacting repairs, it is recommended that the displaced driveway panels between Units 188
and 193 be removed in order to better observe the subgrade soils for presence of fissure
openings/voids and provide additional access for grouting options presented below.
Replacement panels should match the existing driveway concrete thickness and
reinforcement size and spacing. Also, Unit 187 should be inspected and surveyed to
complete the building review. All surface area drain lines around the buildings should be
checked to see they are in working order. The approximate location of driveway panels
and drain lines are presented on the Geotechnical Plan, Plate 1 in Appendix A.
3.1.1 Option 1 — Comprehensive Grouting
This approach would involve grouting of the fissure zone at depth so that it can be
effectively treated from "the bottom up." In order to accomplish this goal, it is
recommended that an experience grouting contractor be contacted to determine an
effective means and method for filling the voids. It is our understanding, that a
representative from a contractor specializing in geotechnical repairs, Hayward Baker, has
already been contacted and visited the site. The information provided on Plate 1 in
Appendix A, may be used as a guide to determine the approximate limits of treatment. TCI
can provide additional geotechnical information, i.e. grading plans, soils reports, boring
logs, etc., that may be requested by the grouting contractor, if ultimately contracted by
the HOA.
3.1.2 Option 2 — Limited Grouting
Another option to minimize surface infiltration and fill voids is to grout "from the top
down" using a 2-sack sand -cement slurry. Essentially, where voids/separations exist at
the soil surface, i.e. south of Unit 189 and along the sides of Units 188, 189, and 194,
they should be cleaned of loose soil and roughly squared out to facilitate filling with slurry.
Limited Geotechnical Evaluation of Earth Fissure • Legacy Villas • File No. 29106.3 October 24, 2014

The slurry should be applied directly into the excavation/ground crack via gravity flow. A
similar option could be employed at other locations within the Legacy Villas HOA where
sinkholes or voids have locally formed since the flash flood, i.e. adjacent manhole near
southwestern most pool, in Legacy Drive near clubhouse, and adjacent the garage at 48-
660 Classic Drive.
Additionally, where separations between hardscape panels exist which are not elected for
replacement, they should be filled with an elastomeric sealant. Sealant should also be
applied along separations at the interface between planter walls and hardscape panels.
4.0 RESIDENTIAL REPAIRS
Based on the results of our manometer surveys, we measured elevation differentials in
Units 188, 189, 193, and 194 that indicate foundation slab movement potentially related
to the recent fissure development. However, resultant damages to the finishes in the
superstructure were mainly noted in Units 188 and 194 and appear to be relatively low-
level in magnitude at this time. In any case, there are multiple options to consider, which
ultimately will need to be based on the HOA's risk tolerance for future problems and cost
to implement.
Given the relatively limited distress at the residential buildings, it is our opinion a prudent
repair approach would be to enact the cosmetic repairs and monitoring as described in
Section 4.1 below. The following options are presented in order from the least expensive
and higher risk for future problems to the most expensive and lower risk for future
problems. Regardless of the repair approach, some level of risk will remain. This is always
the case.
4.1 Cosmetic Repairs and Monitoring
With this approach, finishes in the superstructure should be cosmetically repaired. Simple
cosmetic patching and painting should be avoided where more rigorous fixes are
appropriate, such as recurring cracks at re-entrant drywall corners. Slab cracks may be
treated with epoxy injection (i.e. Sikadur or similar) or localized saw cut strip replacement
(see Figure 11 in Appendix A). For example, cracked drywall could be removed to the
nearest stud or blocking (or blocking added) and replaced with a new panel section. Prior
to panel replacement, a metal tie could be mortised and screwed (not nailed) across the
framing joint at the crack location. Drywall panel joints should be taped with adhesive -
backed fiberglass (or similar) and joint compound applied in the normal manner before
repainting. Other details within the overall repair may include metal connectors, special
trim, elastic paint, or other items that will help resist or otherwise accommodate minor
movements. Ultimately, all cosmetic repairs should be detailed and implemented by an
experienced repair contractor.

-6-
Monitoring of the residences is also recommended via comparative manometer surveys and
visual reviews. It is recommended to perform surveys on affected units after any grouting
repairs to establish a baseline and at approximate 18 to 24-month intervals. If additional
movement is detected, one of the following options may need to be adopted.
4.2 Structural foundation Repairs
Another approach would be to structurally enhance the foundations of the affected units
(i.e. in the vicinity of the fissure zone). This would entail adding stiffening grade beams at
the building perimeters or full or partial replacement of the existing slabs with a thicker,
heavily reinforced mat slab. This would allow the residential foundations to essentially
span the fissure zone or otherwise minimize associated bending stresses caused by
additional subsidence. It is also possible the existing foundations may be underpinned into
the bedrock below the fill and alluvial soils at depth; however, the bedrock may be too
deep to make this repair cost effective. In any case, additional investigation to check as -
built foundation and underlying soil conditions in the area of repair would be required. In
addition, a Structural Engineer would need to be engaged to ultimately develop plans for
submittal to the local building jurisdiction. If the HOA elects to explore this option, a
proposal could be provided upon request.
4.3 Drainage
Regardless of the adopted repair scheme, the potential for future movement can be
reduced if excessive moisture is not allowed to infiltrate the ground. Basically, ponded
surface water should be avoided in the vicinity of the subject residences. This can be
accomplished by sloping the ground surface away from the perimeter of the building and
directing surface drainage to the yard drain system. Additionally, adequate clearance
between the bottom of the stucco weep screed and adjacent grades should be checked to
provide a minimum of 2 or 4 inches between impervious and earthen areas, respectively.
The project civil engineer should be consulted for drainage repair details.
5.0 CLOSURE
It is difficult, in a single report, to address all of the items associated with the varying
conditions. As such, we expect questions to arise that may not be covered herein. We
consider it part of our assignment to address any unresolved issues.
Our investigation was performed using the skill and degree of care ordinarily exercised,
under similar circumstances, by reputable soils engineers and engineering geologists
practicing in this or similar localities. Since geotechnical engineering is based in part on
experience and judgment, other consultants could arrive at different conclusions. Since
TCI was not involved in the original design or construction of the project, no warranty
either expressed or implied in provided for the site.

PROPOSAL AND CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT (Home Improvement/Commercial/Industrial):
You are entitled to a fully executed copy of this agreement, signed by both you and the Contractor, before any
work is started.
1. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
EagIeLIFT (also referred herein as "Contractor") will furnish all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, and
contract administration to complete in a good and workmanlike manner the following: Alterations to structures
under the jurisdiction of Legacy Villas HOA (also referred herein as "Customer") located at address 193 and 194
Legacy Drive, La Quinta, CA 92253 (hereinafter the "Project" or "Work"), as described more fully in the scope of
work and drawings, pages S1 and S2, prepared by Dunn Savoie, Inc. dated March 3, 2017. By this reference,
equipment listed and those drawings are incorporated in and made a part of this Contract.
Contractor's scope of work under this Contract does not include any of the following items: Repair or replacement
of any flooring, hardscape or softscape, or any finish work that may be required when the lifting and leveling is
completed. All utilities that may be affected by the install or lift are the responsibility of the customer. Any existing
breaks in plumbing lines may result in polymer infiltration to which EagIeLIFT is not responsible. Water and Sewer
line inspection work starts is recommended.
2. DESCRIPTION OF SCOPE OF WORK, MATERIALS USED AND EQUIPMENT TO BE INSTALLED:
Install 20 Helical Piers in locations as indicated on design plans from DSI. Inject Uretek geopolymer
in locations indicated on DSI design plans to densify soils at depths of -5' and -10' below grade.
DEEP INJECTION:
Based off of the provided reports and/or inspection, Deep Injection Method should be used in attempt to
stabilize the structure. Deep Injections will be placed as noted on drawing to mitigate further settlement.
The injection locations will be placed on 5 foot centers per DSI design plans. The urethanes will be
installed at depths of -5' and -10' per DSI design plans, where the allowable soil bearing pressure is usually
greater than 1000 pounds per square foot. The yield compressive strength,of the URETEK polyurethane
486 is about 60 psi (8600psf), according to test results obtained using ASTM D 1621. The grout is much
lighter than soil, and generally weighs between about 3 and 5 Ibs per cubic feet. Therefore, settlement of
compressible soils below the grout generally does not occur. Typical allowable foundation bearing

pressures of soil range from about 1000 psf to 2000 psf, which is less than 33% of the compressive
strength of the grout.
The expansion of resins will consolidate base soils and underpin the immediate surrounding area to fill
voids and improve soil bearing capacity.
Helical Piers
Helical piles will be installed specifically based upon engineering and design. Engineering and geologist reports can only
determine an estimation of the final depth and torque. Actual depth can only be determined after a pull test is completed by
the installer. Therefore, all anchors may have a tendency to be driven farther than the depth estimated. Prior to signing this
proposal, please verify the estimated depths with us. Please note, any additional footage after the estimated scope per
contract will be an additional charge of 550.00 / foot.
Design:
install (20) helical pier anchors to 15 ft.
PRODUCT:
• 20 Ideal Group 1-1/2" RCS hot rolled -square Lead, 60" w 3/8" x 6"-8" helix, galv.
• 40 Ideal Group 1-1/2" x 60" RCS Extension, galy.
• 20 Ideal Group foundation brackets
INSTALLATION:
• Size & number of helical blades shall be determined by the Engineer of Record in order to achieve the required torque
and tensile/bearing capacity.
• Helical will be installed using Torque motor using a Drive tool.
• Constant axial force (crowd) shall be applied while rotating Helical anchors into the ground.
■ The Manufacturer's tensional strength rating of the Helical Anchor shall not be exceeded during installation.
• Bolt hole elongation due to torsion of the shaft of the Helical Anchor at the drive tool shall be limited to Y•". Helical
anchors with bolt hole damage exceeding this criterion shall be uninstalled, removed, and discarded.
■ When the Termination Criteria of a helical anchor is obtained, the Contractor shall adjust the elevation of the top end
of the shaft to the elevation shown on the drawings
• All helical anchor components including the shaft shall be isolated from making a direct electrical contact with any
concrete reinforcing bars or other non -galvanized metal objects since these may alter corrosion rates.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
• No Compression / Pull Test Included (Add $5,000.00 if necessary)
• Helical pile anchors are total of 15 LF in depth and will be installed at approximate 2 degrees off vertical.
• Install vertical helical piles as specified.
• Install pile shaft extensions to reach design depth and couple with manufacturer supplied hardware.
• Monitor and document installation torque for each pile. Installation torque is then used to estimate ultimate soil
capacity.
• Provide installation data for each pile, including correlation of torque to capacity, to the client.
• install all necessary threaded bar adaptors.
• No open trenches are allowed to be left open after close of work.
• If pile locations must be adjusted in the field, the new locations will be approved by the client prior to pile installation.

• An additional charge of 50 foot will be added if piles must be installed to a depth more than that specified in order
to achieve the specified capacity/torque.
• If any piles are needed beyond what is stated in this proposal or shown on the drawings, and additional charge will be
added per pier. Additional piers will only be installed following client approval.
• Install helical piles with a hydraulic -powered, rotary -torque drive unit to a torque of at least 2,000 ft-lbs.
• EagleLIFT reserves the right to revise the pile configuration and negotiate in good faith with the client for any change
in associated costs based upon the results of the load test.
Termination Criteria.
1. Axial capacity is verified by achieving the final installation torque as shown on the Drawings or as provided by the
Anchor Design Professional.
2. Minimum depth is obtained. The minimum depth shall be as shown on the drawings, that which corresponds to the
planned bearing stratum, or the depth at which the final installations torque is measured, whichever is greater. In
addition, Helical anchors shall be advanced until the average torque over the last three (3) feet equals or exceeds the
required final installation torque.
What if:
If the tensional strength rating of the Helical Anchor and/or the maximum torque of the installation equipment has
been reached or "Augering" occurs prior to achieving the minimum depth required, the Contractor shall have the
following options:
1. Terminate the installation at the depth obtained subject to the review and acceptance of the Engineer and State's
Representative.
2. Remove the Helical Anchor and install a new one with fewer and/or smaller diameter helical plates or with dual
cutting edge helical bearing plates. The new helical configuration shall be subject to review and acceptance of the
Engineer and acceptance of the Engineer and State's Representative.
3. Remove the Helical Anchor and pre -drill a 4-inch diameter pilot hole in the same location and reinstall the anchor.
This is an additional charge at $95.00 per work hour.
4. If obstruction is shallow, remove the Helical Anchor and remove the obstruction by surface excavation. Backfill and
compact the resulting excavation and reinstall the anchor.
5. Remove the Helical anchor and relocate 1-foot to either side of the installation location subject to the review and
acceptance of Engineer and State's Representative.
6. Reverse the direction of torque, back -out the Helical anchor distance of 1 to 2 feet and attempt to reinstall by
decreasing crowd and augering through the obstruction.
7. Remove the Helical anchor and sever the uppermost helical bearing plate from the lead section if more than one
helical bearing plate is in use, or reshape the helical bearing plate to create a special tapered edge by cutting with a
band saw. Reinstall the anchor with revised helical bearing plate configuration.

workmanlike manner, customer is responsible for any finish carpentry, painting, paneling, drywall, etc. that may be
required after our operations are completed. As this repair is a structured lift of settled property, it may cause
some interior/exterior cracks to appear/reappear, windows to crack, doors to misalign or utility lines to break.
These are to be expected and are not the responsibility of EagIeLIFT to repair. EagIeLIFT is not responsible for any
pipes the become damaged or broken through the installation process, the cleaning out of polyurethane, due to
product's intrusion into any broken or damaged pipes, any concrete replacement or finish work unless specified in
the project description.

EagIeLIFT is not responsible for any lateral movement on any of our completed scopes of work on any structure(s)-
The client has been informed and completely understands our 100% lateral movement exclusion and by initialing,
affirms and agrees. The technology used by EagIeLIFT deals only with the vertical movement of the structure
required to bring it back to or near original grade.
INITIAL
There remains a potential for future movement of the foundation after EagIeLIFT, Inc. has finished the work.
EagIeLIFT, Inc. is in no way responsible for such future movement and does not warrant the completed work
against such movement.
a) Areas of Structure Not Treated — Areas of the structure that have not been treated by EagIeLIFT may
experience movement in the future. These areas will be considered outside the scope of work and will be
considered a new scope of work.
b) Foundation Constructed on Dry Soils —All dry expansive clay soils are subject to uplift as the underlying
support soils take on moisture. This type of movement is usually caused by slow moisture migration and
often continues for 5-years, but may continue for as long as 10-years after new construction. A Soils test
is strongly recommended for any foundation less than 5-years old.
c) Foundations Repaired on Dry Soils — Foundations repaired on dry soils are subject to additional uplift as
the underlying soils take on moisture.
d) Foundations Constructed on Wet Soils — Foundations constructed on wet expansive clay soils will settle
when the soil begins to lose moisture through natural capillary and evaporative processes. This type of
movement may last several years.
e) Foundations Located on Seasonally Wet Soils — Foundations located on expansive clay soils are subject to
sub -surface moisture migration from uphill gradient, underground springs, water traps, fluctuating water
tables or improper grading and have a high potential for movement during seasonal moisture cycles.
These conditions may influence isolated areas or the entire foundation/slab structure.
f) Plants — Trees and large shrubbery, located near the foundation, often desiccate the soils under the
slab/foundation during periods of dry weather and may cause the interior floor slab or exterior
foundation to settle.
g) Plumbing Leaks — Plumbing leaks in expansive clay soils may cause the soils to swell and heave or lift the
slab/foundation. Wet expansive clay soils, caused by previous plumbing leaks, will often shrink after the
plumbing has been repaired and cause the slab/foundation to settle. Such shrinkage may occur over long
periods of time.
h) Improperly Compacted Fill Soils — Soils used as fill in order to provide a level building site should be
compacted in layers under the supervision of a Geotechnical Engineer and according to the procedure's
arrived at by laboratory tests. If these procedures are not followed, the foundation may be supported by
improperly compacted fill, and may allow the foundation to experience additional settlement.
i) Sandy, Silty Soils — Sandy, silty soils that overlay expansive clay may provide an avenue for rapid moisture
migration. Seasonal movement of the interior slab or seasonal uplift of the perimeter foundation beam
may occur.
j) The project work does not provide a remedy for the items a-h above. Additional work in the future
may be required and is not covered by any further warranty, express or implied, under the terms of this
contract.

7. CONSUMER NOTICES AND DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS
A. Performance of Extra or Change Order Work Notice
1. Any additional material or work required beyond the original Scope of Work guidelines will result in a
change order, presented to customer for signed approval and payable upon completion of job.
2. A change order is not enforceable against a buyer unless the change order also identifies all of the
following in writing prior to any work covered by the new change order;
I. The scope of work encompassed by the order
II. The amount to be added or subtracted from the contract.
III. The effect the order will make in the progress payments or the completion date.
IV. Signatures of customer and contractor.
3. Contractor's failure to comply with the requirements of this paragraph does not preclude the recovery
of compensation for work performed based upon legal or equitable remedies designed to prevent
unjust enrichment.
B. Mechanics' Lien Warning
Anyone who helps improve your property, but who is not paid, may record what is called a mechanic's lien on your
property. A mechanic's lien is a claim, like a mortgage or home equity loan, made against your property and
recorded with the county recorder.
Even if you pay your contractor in full, unpaid subcontractors, suppliers, and laborers who helped to improve your
property may record mechanics liens and sue you in court to foreclose the lien. If a court finds the lien is valid, you
could be forced to pay twice or have a court officer sell your home to pay the lien. Liens can also affect your
credit.
To preserve their right to record a lien, each subcontractor and material supplier must provide you with a
document called a "20 day Preliminary Notice." This notice is not a lien. The purpose of the notice is to let you
know that the person who sends you the notice has the right to record a lien on your property if he or she has not
paid.
BE CAREFUL. The Preliminary Notice can be sent up to 20 days after the subcontractor starts work or the supplier
provides material. This can be a big problem if you pay your contractor before you have received the Preliminary
Notice. You will not get Preliminary Notices from your Prime Contractor or from laborers who work on your
project. The law assumes that you already know they are improving your property.
PROTECT YOURSELF FROM LIENS. You can protect yourself from liens by getting a list from your contractor of all
the subcontractors and material suppliers that work on your project. Find out from your contractor when these
subcontractors started work and when these suppliers delivered goods or materials. Then wait 20 days, paying
attention to the Preliminary Notices you receive.
PAY WITH JOINT CHECKS. One way to protect yourself is to pay with a joint check. When your contractor tells you
it is time to pay for the work of a subcontractor or supplier who has provided you with a Preliminary Notice, write
a joint check payable to both the contractor and the subcontractor or material supplier.
For other ways to prevent liens, visit CSLB's website at www.csib.ca.gov or call CSLB at 1-800-321-2752
Remember, if you do nothing, you risk having a lien placed on your home. This can mean that you may have to pay
twice, or face the forced sale of your home to pay what you owe.

EAGLELIFT LIMITED WARRANTY CERTIFICATE
This Limited Warranty is made in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied, and of all other obligations on the part of EagIeLIFT, Inc. (the "Contractor") the customer (the Customer")
and any subsequent purchaser(s) upon completion of the attached warranty transfer agreement, as this is a transferable warranty. There are no other verbal or written warranties. There are
no warranties which extend beyond the description on the face hereof, including no warranties of express or implied merchantability and no warranties of express or implied fitness for a
particular purpose, including foundation repair. This Warranty is in effect if the job has been completed, paid in full and proper drainage has been installed and maintained. Alternatively, this
Warranty is null and void if job is not completed, full payment is not received, nor proper drainage installed or maintained. Contractor does not warrant products not mentioned below, but
some of such products maybe covered by a manufacturer's warranty. All material used is warranted as specified on the proposal.
Foundation Piers -Contractor warrants that the foundation piers will stabilize the affected area(s) against further appreciable vertical settlement for a period of twenty-five (25) years
from the date of installation, or else Contractor will correct the problem at Contractor's expense. Contractor DOES NOT WARRANT, to close cracks, to render doors and windows operational
or to move walls back to their original position, but will do its best to achieve positive results in this regard. Some of the reasons Contractor cannot warrant to lift the area(s) in question are
as follows: 1) Skin Friction: The soil's tendency to cling to your foundation in its new settled position; 2) Obstructions; Items such as mortar, concrete or soil failing between the cracks or
behind the veneer which will physically prevent the wall or chimney from moving back to its original position; and 3) Brick or Stone Veneer: The veneer of the home or other building is not
part of the "structure" Contractor is attempting to affect, rather, it is merely a cosmetic covering similar to siding. Thus, a lifting operation on Customer's foundation mayor may not affect
the veneer of the structure. Customer should also know that the possibility of further damages exist during a lifting operation. Contractor IS NOT RESPONSIBLE for damages caused by the
lifting. All of the Contractor's efforts will be concentrated on obtaining the optimum results with a minimum of damage. Subsidence caused by extreme weather conditions like severe
drought and/or extreme rainfall, are not covered by the warranty.
Slab Piers -Contractor warrants that the slab piers will stabilize the affected area against further appreciable vertical settlement for a period often (10) years from the date of
installation, or the Contractor will correct the problem at Contractor's expense. Contractor DOES NOT WARRANT TO LIFT the slab back to its original position, but will do its best to achieve
positive results in the regard. Subsidence caused by extreme weather conditions like severe drought and/or extreme rainfall, are not covered by the warranty.
Crawlspace Stabilizers -contractor warrants that Stabilizers will, under normal use and service is free from defects in material and workmanship for ten (10) years from the date of
installation. Contractor cannot warranty any interior pier/post movement due to soils conditions out of Contractor's control, however Contractor can adjust interior piers/posts as needed
for $125 per adjustment with a minimum charge of $1,500.00. Subsidence caused by extreme weather conditions like severe drought and/or extreme rainfall, are not covered by the
warranty.
Wall Anchors - Contractor hereby warrants that the wall anchors will stop further appreciable inward horizontal movement of the wall(s) repaired for five (5) yea rs from the date of
installation, or else Contractor will provide the labor and materials, at no cost to Customer, to correct the problem with the wall anchors. Walls that are not anchored entirely from corner to
corner, by Contractor, are not warranted. Anchors are warranted only to stabilize the affected wall(s) and not straighten them. If Customer desires further movement in the wall(s)
repaired, Customer may tighten the installed anchors every 3-4 weeks during the dryer months of the year, which are typically July, August and September. Do not tighten the anchors in the
winter, when the ground is wet, or when the repaired wall is straight. When tightening anchors, settingfor a torque wrench should be BO lbs., for a block wall and 90lbs. for a poured wa ll.
Contractor recommends that Customer maintain the wall anchors annually as annual maintenance can prevent most foundation problems. The cost of maintenance is not included in the
proposal or Warranty, but maintenance is available from Contractor at an additional charge. When anchors are installed behind garage walls, saw cuts and expansion joints are sometimes
necessary to relieve pressure on the affected wall(s). Saw cuts and expansion joints are not warranted and may need to be repeated in the future if the joint compresses. Subsidence caused
by extreme weather conditions like severe drought and/or extreme rainfall, are not covered by the warranty.
Uretek Method/Deep Injection - The Contractor warrants that the injected URETEK materials will not shrink or deteriorate for a period of ten (10) years from the date of
completion. The Contractor will replentish, during the warranty period, by re -injection, any materials, which fail to perform as warranted. This limited warranty supersedes any other
warranties, expressed or implied. The Contractor guarantees, adjustments necessary due to the loss of the size stability or failure of the mechanical resistance of the injected material, in
the injected areas during two (2) years from the date of completion of the work. The Contractor will adjust the settled area, by re -injection, at no cost to the owner. Should the treated area
settle a second time, the Contractor will recommend that geotechnical testing be conducted as the problem is at a deeper depth in the sub grade. Further adjustments will not be at
the Contractor's cost should Client refuse the geotechnical testing. This guarantee does not include external causes not dependent on our material, for example, ground subsidence or
settlement of deeper soils, structural problems, dynamic or static load much higher than the design load at the time of URETEK intervention, damages caused by excavations, product
tampering, natural catastrophes such as storms, floods, drought, tides, earthquakes, explosions orfire. Subsidence caused by extreme weather conditions like severe drought and/or
extreme rainfall, are not covered by the warranty.
Proper drainage must be installed and/or maintained in order for the EagIeLIFT warranty to be enacted or remain in effect. Such
warranty is immediately effective once full payment is received and all funds cleared bank and proper drainage has been installed. EagIeLIFT does not provide drainage services. Customer
agrees to maintain positive drainage away from the wall(s), slab(s) repaired by foundation push piers or the Uretek process. If proper drainage is not installed within the first 60 day period
from the completion date, the warranty will be voided and unenforceable for any future dates. If proper drainage is installed within the first 60 day period from the date of completion, proof
of installation supplied to EagIeLIFT, the warranty will be considered as in force from the EagIeLIFT date of completion for the initial project. Especially when trenching or excavation is done
during structural repair, Contractor recommends a waterproofing membrane to be applied to exposed wall(s) to reduce the chance of water seepage into the basement if basement is
present. Water seepage into any area of the basement or foundation is NOT covered by this Warranty and may require a waterproofing system at an additional cost to Customer. EagIeLIFT's
only responsibility is for foundation lifting/leveling and/or soil densification and/or stabilization as stated in the designated scope of work described in Section 2 of our proposal/contract.
Any work outside of what is specifically listed in Section 2 is outside our scope of work, is not included in our scope of work and is excluded from our scope of work and warranty. Any
additional requirements called for by City Approved Plans and/or Engineering but are not specifically listed in Section 2, are outside our scope of work, are not included in our scope of work
and are excluded from our scope of work.
UnSupported Warranty Call Back - Should EagIeLIFT, Inc. be contacted to re -inspect for an alleged warranty service, company representative completes the call back service
and inspection reveals there has been,1. No change(s) to work area, 2. Change(s) caused by improper drainage, 3. Change(s) caused by a ny condition which is not covered under this
warranty, customer will be charged a $350 fee for our inspection services.
