Indian River County Engineering Division Proposal File No . 06-64-3054 -2- We recommend that the project surveyor locate our borings horizontally and vertically (i . e . ; determine the elevation of the ground surface at the boring locations) . This information will increase the accuracy of the data obtained and will be especially useful in estimating the normal seasonal high groundwater table . LABORATORY TESTING Routine laboratory visual classification will be performed along with specific classification tests deemed necessary ( i . e . , sieve analysis , Atterberg limits and organic contents) . ENGINEERING ANALYSIS AND REPORT Engineering analysis of all data obtained will be made to evaluate general subsurface conditions and to develop general engineering recommendations . Our findings together with all data developed during the exploration , will be submitted in a written report upon conclusion of the study. We will provide a discussion of the encountered soil types and recommendations to guide site preparation and roadway construction as they relate to the proposed roadway improvements. If unsuitable material (i . e. organic muck) is encountered during performance of the borings , we will provide recommendations to guide removal and replacement of such material with suitable and compacted fine sand soils within the project limits. SCHEDULE Based on our current work schedule , we can begin with in 1 to 2 days upon receiving written authorization to proceed . We anticipated the field work will require approximately 1 to 2 weeks to complete . The actual duration of the project, however, will depend on the progress of the drilling and laboratory testing . Our report will be prepared and issued within approximately one week following completion of the field and laboratory programs. COST ESTIMATE The cost associated with the aforementioned tasks is summarized below. Unit rates were obtained from the continuing service contract between Indian River County and Ardaman & Associates , Inc.
