Dear Ms. Laugen;
This letter is submitted, as requested, that provides reliance to Lighthouse Homes, LLC with respect to
the geotechnical exploration report completed for the above referenced project.
Project and Background
In January 2018, Haugo GeoTechnical Services, LLC (HGTS) completed a Geotechnical Exploration for
construction of the proposed development. Our work was performed in accordance with our contract
with Civil Site Group, Inc and in accordance with our Scope of Services and the HGTS General
Conditions which were a part of that contract. The Geotechnical Exploration Report presented the
results of eight (8) soil borings and provided recommendations for foundation design and construction.
Procedures, results, conclusions and recommendations were presented in our report dated January 5,
2018 under HGTS project number 17-1039.
Reliance
Lighthouse Homes, LLC may rely on the Geotechnical Exploration Report in accordance with our
contract with Civil Site Group, Inc and under the same terms, conditions, and circumstances; please
note, however, that the contract may contain a limitation of our total liability. If so, such limitations will
apply to all others receiving this permission.
HGTS has not completed any additional geotechnical explorations since completion of the Geotechnical
Exploration Report dated January 5, 2018. There have been no amendments or addendums to the
documents referenced herein. Please also note that our contract with Civil Site Group, Inc does not
provide for any continued monitoring of the Site beyond the date and circumstances described in those
documents.
You are advised that site soil and groundwater conditions can change over time. In addition, relevant
regulations, standards of assessment, and other factors affecting the information, conclusions, and
recommendations contained in our referenced documents may change over time.
