Bell Avenue He. Clarksville, Indiana 47129 Y. Attention: Mr. Josh Hillman tog n in SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION PROPOSAL s Proposed Utica Pike Sewers and Pump Stations a" Utica Pike Jeffersonville, Indiana CS Proposal No. 11G -6116a C,) a Dear Mr. Hillman: 1.4 to We are pleased to present this proposal for a subsurface exploration at the referenced site in Z Jeffersonville, Indiana. This proposal includes our understanding of the project information, 0 the proposed scope of services, a fee estimate, and a projected schedule. H S PROJECT INFORMATION a Project information was provided by you in an electronic transmission on June 14, 2011. We #)h j",;, received a plan of the proposed force main extending approximately 8,400 feet from the site Z lir of a proposed pump station location south of the intersection of Utica Pike and Allison Lane 03 v� a., to the site of another proposed pump station location just south of' the intersection of Utica FH=t L eai Pike and Six Mile lane and extending further to the existing pump station located at the west comer of the intersection of Utica Pike and Port Road. The plan depicted the proposed alignment with boring locations that were assigned by you. A total of eleven borings with the a proposed advancement depth were noted. You also noted that two of the borings shall be [• converted to monitoring wells upon completion. co) SCOPE OF WORK 0 It is our intent to conduct a subsurface exploration in order to obtain information about subgrade support conditions and depths to rock at the site of the proposed structures. This c exploration is not designed to produce information concerning contamination or other a o _ environmental conditions. <_ s cc_ Boring locations were designated by you and will be located in the field using standard taping 33 procedures and available fixed structures. No surveying equipment will be utilized in this � 8 exploration. At the time of the exploration, a truck- mounted drill rig will be mobilized to the project site. (Weather conditions may delay mobilization during periods of prolonged precipitation). The drill rig apparatus will he used to advance a total of eleven (11) borings to depths designated www.construct-solutions.com Proposed Utica Pike Sewers and Pump Stations Jeffersonville, Indiana June 16, 2011 by you on the plan you provided. If refusal is encountered above boring termination depth in the borings, rock coring will be performed to reach the boring termination depth. If boring information varies significantly, additional borings will be advanced. These additional borings will not be started without your prior approval. Standard penetration testing will be performed at the ground surface and at depths of 1.5 feet, 4.0 feet, 6.5 feet, 9.0 feet, and every five (5) feet thereafter, where possible until boring termination depth is reached. Splitspoon samples will be obtained at each test interval. The samples will be classified in the field by an engineer from our firm and will be placed in sealed jars and retuned to the laboratory for testing. Rock samples will be placed in core boxes and returned to the laboratory for classification and testing. Groundwater levels will be recorded at boring termination in all of the borings. All borings will be backfrlled upon completion. Two borings will be converted to a well in order to obtain long -term groundwater information. If, at any lime during field activities, unanticipated subsurface conditions that could lead to significant design or construction difficulties are encountered, you will be notified. Laboratory testing of soil samples will include the following tests: 6 Moisture Content Profiles ( -35 tests) 2 Atterberg Limits Test After field testing is complete, the subsurface information will be reviewed and evaluated and a written report of our findings will be issued. The report will include: -a description of the exploratory methods used - descriptions of subsurface conditions encountered -a summary of published geologic information - preliminary design recommendations, including: - design bearing pressure - additional design parameters, including: estimated c and (I) values moist and saturated unit weights lateral earth pressure coefficients - construction considerations, including: backfill placement drainage excavation shoring and stability - groundwater considerations - a Boring Location Plan -Boring Logs If, at any time during the project, unexpected or unusual conditions or information are identified, the scope of work will be reviewed to confinn that it is still appropriate and adequate. If additional exploration and/or testing are necessary, you will be notified, and the added tasks will he submitted for your approval. Proposed Utica Pike Sewers and Pump Stations Jeffersonville, Indiana June 16, 1011 SCHEDULE Based on our current workload, the subsurface exploration can be started within seven to 10 days of authorization, weather permitting. It is anticipated that exploratory activities can be completed in two to three working days. As was previously noted, if, at any time during field activities, unanticipated soil conditions that could lead to significant design or construction di0iculties are encountered, you will be notified. A verbal report can be submitted within four working days of the completion of field activities. A written report of the work can be submitted within ten working days of the completion of field activities. If significant project delays are experienced, you will be contacted to discuss the revised schedule. FEE ESTIMATE The scope of work provided in this proposal can be performed for the lump sum fee of $10,300.00 (ten thousand three hundred dollars). Our fee is based on one drill rig mobilization, a total of 164 feet of soil test drilling, a total of 15 feet of rock coring, and installation of two groundwater monitoring wells. This fee also is based on the assumption that the site will he accessible to truck - mounted drilled equipment at the time of the subsurface exploration. If additional exploration or testing activities are deemed necessary, a revised fee schedule will he provided for your approval. No additional fees will be incurred without your prior approval. If, at the client's request, at any time after the start of this project and prior to the completion of this project, the project is terminated, a prorated fee will be calculated based upon the work completed up to the point that the project is terminated.
