Dear Mr. Jimeno:
Introduction
As requested Bureau Veritas, Testing Engineers-San Diego, has reviewed the
responses to our third-party review of the geotechnical documents for the subject
project. The responses were presented in references 1, 2 and 3 above. Our third
party review comments were presented in reference 4. The purpose of our review was
to provide an opinion on whether the geotechnical aspects of the project have been
identified and appropriately addressed in the project geotechnical documents. This
letter presents the results of our review of the responses. Our review is based on
geotechnical data presented in the project geotechnical documents and our
professional judgment. We have not performed subsurface investigation, laboratory
testing or independent geotechnical analysis for the project.
