Proposal for Materials Testing Services Page 3 <br /> Old Dixie Highway Resurfacing ■ Indian River County, Florida <br /> March 2, 2016 ■ Terracon Proposal No. PHB161007 <br /> Contractor QC Testing of Asphaltic Concrete (AC) Pavement <br /> We understand that the Contractor is responsible for their own QC testing which shall <br /> include performing at least one set of asphalt laboratory tests per day to evaluate the <br /> materials and construction during paving. A minimum of three cores shall be cut by the <br /> Contractor on daily basis to evaluate the in-place (constructed) density of the structural <br /> course construction. The cores will be tested for bulk specific gravity, and the <br /> compaction will be evaluated based on the percentage of the bulk specific gravity over <br /> the maximum density determined in the plant on the bulk mix materials. As an option, <br /> the density (% compaction) of the wearing course construction may be evaluated using <br /> a calibrated nuclear gauge if a correction factor can be established using the core <br /> densities from the first day of wearing course paving <br /> Terracon will not be in the asphalt plant to perform any verification testing during asphalt <br /> production. <br /> Engineering & Reporting <br /> • Engineering oversight and review during the construction to coordinate the <br /> aforementioned test program, make site visits, and attend progress meetings. <br /> • Submittal of brief engineering reports documenting our findings and test results. <br /> Our materials testing services will be provided on an as-needed basis as dictated by the <br /> pace and methods of construction. <br /> C. COMPENSATION <br /> The material testing services provided will be billed in accordance with our current <br /> 2014-2016 Continuing Geotechnical Services Agreement the line item unit rates <br /> illustrated on the Projected Scope and Budget (Attachment A). As stated earlier a four <br /> test minimum charge per trip to the site will apply. Terracon proposes to complete the <br /> scope of services as described herein for an estimated fee of $37,860 and <br /> invoiced on a unit rate basis. If additional services outside the listed project services <br /> are required, Terracon will provide such under auspice of a Supplemental Proposal <br /> using the same line item unit rates as provided herein. <br /> The quantity of the work performed and factors beyond our control, such as weather <br /> and the contractor's schedule/efficiency, will affect the actual cost for our services. You <br /> will be invoiced at regular intervals but not less than monthly for services performed. <br /> lrerracon <br />
