(TCHC) are seeking a soils, geotechnical and hydrological engineering consultant to
assist in seeking rezoning approvals for a bold new vision for Phases 4 & 5 of the Regent

require on site field work:
This Respondent must drill boreholes. (Respondent to determine

used as a minimum guide and does not alleviate the respondent of the
responsibility to also carry out other work according to conventional good and
current industry practices. Work items not included in this scope but
