Dear Mr.James Wang:
Following our recent telephone conversation with Mr. Thamby Kumaran, your architect, we understand that you
have_retained_the_services of another firm to perform geotechnical services during construction at your site; located at
22080 San Fernando_Cou�i,?Cupertino. To this end, we would like to clarify GEI position with respect to inspection
section of GEI report as follows:
This section of GEI report is a disclosure to clients that in the event that another consultant performs inspection
and testing during construction of your project, then GEI would not be responsible for the outcome. It is the standard of
profession that the consultant who has prepared the soil report also reviews the plans and would perform inspection
during construction. This is logical because they are the ones that are most familiar with site condition and have prepared
and signed the report.
For your information,we have done work for cities, counties, attorneys and even superior court
judges and no one has raised any questions/switched to another consultant. Furthermore, please note
that you have already had a contract with GEI in accordance with your authorization of March 9,2011
of GEI proposal dated March 8,2011.
The client is always free to retain another geotechnical consultant. However, the new
geotechnical consultant must confirm in writing that he has reviewed the design level geotechnical
investigation report and does or does not concur with the recommendations contain therein (if not, the
revised/alternative recommendations must be clearly outlined and justified; and that
The new geotechnical consultant would now be the "geotechnical consultant of record" and as such
assumes full responsibility for the geotechnical aspects of the project.
Very truly yours,
Geotechnical Engineering,Inc.
