Freese. Nichols PSI Proposal Number: 312-087 August 11, 1997 Page Two of Seven As requested by Les Boyd of Freese. Nichols, iUs anticipated that 24 borings will be drilled for this project. The borings will be drilled at 1000 foot intervals along the sewerline route. In addition, borings will be necessary at lift station locations and at any creek. river or railroad crossings. Boring depths are anticipated to average between 15 and 2S feet. Deeper borings will be necessary at the lift station and crossing locations. The subsurface exploration will include laboratory testing of the samples obtained to evaluate the classification, strength, plasticity, grain size and other characteristics of the subsurface materials involved. The results of the field exploration and laboratory tests will be used in the engineering analysis and in the fonnulation of the recormnendatioDS. Tbe results of the subsurface exploration, including the reconunendations and the data on which they are based, will be presented in a written report prepared by a professional engineer. PSI is familiar with local subsurface conditions and has participated in the planning, development and execution of subsurface evaluations in the project area. In addition, PSI engineers have provided recommendations for foundation design criteria and construction considerations for projects similar to the one proposed. PSI laboratories are equipped with modem soil and rock testing apparatus, and field exploration programs are conducted with modern drilling equipment. Field and laboratory testIng is perfonned by trained, qualified technicians under the guidance and supervision of professional engineers. It is proposed that the fee for the perfonnance of the above outlined services be determined on a unit price basis, in accordance with the attached Schedule of Services and Fees, and that the work be performed pursuant to the PSI General Conditions. Copies of the PSI Schedule of Services and Fees and General Conditions are enclosed herewith and incorporated into this proposal. On the basis of the estimated quantities and the Schedule of Services and Fees, it is estimated that the total fee will be on the order of $17,000.00. A Project Cost Breakdown is attached. Our estimate covers the work needed to complete the requested Geotechnical Scope of Work and to present our findings and recommendations in a report form. Not included are reviews of construction drawings, preparation of construction specifications, special conferences and any other work requested after submittal of our report. The cost also does not include any surveying to obtain ground surface elevations at the boring locations.
