Seismic Values higher than what RAM calculates

$

We've got a soils report that uses site specific procedures to calculate the seismic values. It looks like RAM uses Chp. 12 from ASCE 7-10. What is the best way to increase the seismic to what the soils report requires?

RAM is giving me values of Sds = 1.758, Sd1 = 0.859

Values from the soils report are as listed:

Ss = 2.637g

S1 = 0.991g

Site Class C Fa = 1.0 Fv = 1.3

Seismic Design Category E

Sms = 3.030g

Sm1 = 1.490g

Sds = 2.02g

Sd1 = 0.990g

MCEg PGA = 1.100g
