Village of Glencoe
26-011 2026 Glencoe Golf Club Driving Range Protective Netting
Addendum 1
The attached geotechnical report was completed in 2023 by Construction & Geotechnical
Material Testing, Inc. for the design and construction of the new Glencoe Golf Club Clubhouse.
Bidders should coordinate with their licensed engineer to determine if the information
provided in the report is adequate for the design and calculations for the driving range netting
pole and foundations. The Village does not have any additional soil information available. Any
further soil investigations warranted should be included in the price of your proposal.
Written acknowledgment of this addendum will be required to be submitted with the sealed
bid/proposal.

Report of Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Services, Proposed
New Clubhouse, 621 Westley Road, Glencoe, Illinois
Dear Ms. Nanos:
CGMT, Inc. has completed the subsurface exploration and geotechnical engineering analyses for the proposed New
Clubhouse to be located at 621 Westley Road, in Glencoe, Illinois. This report describes the subsurface exploration
procedures, laboratory testing, and geotechnical recommendations for project construction. A Boring Location Plan is
included in the Appendix of this report along with the Boring Logs performed for the exploration.
We appreciate this opportunity to be of service to the Village of Glencoe | Glencoe Colf Club during the design phase of
this project. If you have any questions with regard to the information and recommendations presented in this report, or
if we can be of further assistance to you in any way during the planning or construction of this project, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
Respectfully,
CONSTRUCTION AND GEOTECHNICAL MATERIAL TESTING, INC.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Construction & Geotechnical Material Testing, Inc. (CGMT) has completed your subsurface exploration and geotechnical
engineering project. The subsurface conditions encountered during our exploration and CGMT’s conclusions and
recommendations are summarized below. This summary should not be considered apart from the entire text of the report with
all the qualifications and considerations mentioned herein. Details of our conclusions and recommendations are discussed in
the following sections and in the Appendix of this report.
The project site is located at 621 Westley Road in Glencoe, Illinois. A total of twelve (12) exploratory borings, B-1 through B-
7 and P-1 through P-5, were performed for this project. The soil conditions encountered at the borings performed at the site
are summarized as follows.
The surface materials were underlain by dark brown and brown, very stiff to hard silty clay fill soils that extended to depths of
approximately 3½ to 8½ feet below the existing ground surface. Beneath the clay fill, Borings B-4, B-5, B-6, P-4, and P-5
encountered brown, loose to medium dense sand that extended to depths of approximately 6 feet below existing grade. The fill
soils were underlain mainly by natural, stiff to hard silty clay soils that extended to depths of approximately 25 feet below the
existing ground surface. Within the clay profile, Borings B-1, B-3, B-4, B-6, P-3, and P-4 encountered 1½ to 6½ feet thick layers
of medium dense silt between depths of approximately 8½ to 25 feet below the existing ground surface.
If available, records of compaction obtained during the mass earthwork phase of the project should be provided to CGMT for
our review. However, if records are not available, the existing fill soils appear to have been placed with some measure of control
of moisture content and density and it should be feasible to support floor slabs, pavements, and new fill.
If the Village of Glencoe is willing to accept some risk of total and differential settlement and associated long term maintenance,
the existing fill material similar to those encountered in the borings extending to depths of approximately 3½ to 8½ feet below
the surrounding grade may remain in place below floor slabs and pavements but the subgrade must pass a proofroll under the
observation of a CGMT geotechnical engineer or soils technician. However, if the Village of Glencoe is unwilling to accept the
risk, then the existing fill soils should be completely removed and replaced with new engineered fill.
Based on the anticipated structural loading and subsurface conditions, conventional shallow foundation systems consisting of
spread and/or continuous footings, extended through existing fill soils (encountered in the borings to depths of 3½ to 8½ feet
below the existing ground surface) bearing on the natural, stiff to hard silty clay, medium dense silt soils, or new properly
compacted engineered fill is considered feasible and appropriate to support the proposed clubhouse improvements. For
footings, extended through existing fill soils, bearing at depths of at least 3½ feet below grade on natural, stiff to hard silty clay,
medium dense silt soils, or new, properly compacted engineered fill, we recommend a maximum net allowable soil bearing
pressure of 3,000 psf be used to proportion the footings.
Existing fill soils were encountered to depths of approximately 3½ to 8½ feet below the existing ground surface. Complete
removal and replacement discussed above may not be economical due to high construction cost. As an alternative, for ground
improvement techniques and construction of conventional shallow foundations, the use of compacted/rammed aggregate piers,
similar to Geopier® rammed aggregate piers and Vibro Piers can be considered for support of foundations for the new
clubhouse. It is our opinion that foundations supported on compacted/rammed aggregate piers or Vibro Piers as discussed
above will likely permit proportioning foundations for a net allowable soil bearing capacity of 3,000 psf, though this must be
verified by the rammed aggregate piers or Vibro Piers installer.
We recommend that the excavation of building foundations be monitored full-time by a CGMT geotechnical engineer or his
representative to verify that the exposed subgrade materials and the soil bearing pressure will be suitable for the proposed
structure.
