SUBSURFACE SOIL EXPLORATION AND GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING EVALUATION Page -2- 32ND AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS AACE PROPOSAL No. P25-3124 Safety AACE has a commitment to safety of all its employees. As such, and in accordance with our safety culture, we will prepare a "Pre -Task Plan" to identify the potential site safety and job hazards associated with the proposed scope of work. Prior to commencement, and during on-site activities, we will re- evaluate potential job hazards and appropriate safe working procedures. At this time, we anticipate that a United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Level D work uniform consisting of hard hats, traffic vests, safety glasses, protective gloves, and steel -toed boots will be required by all personnel in the work area. Underground Utility Location Services Florida Statute 240, Section 556.101 through 556.111 established a state-wide service, whereby persons or companies who plan to excavate the earth may advise Sunshine 811 of the location, date and other operation particulars, to allow affected utility companies the opportunity to mark the location of their buried lines prior to excavation. The statute provides for fines and other sanctions to be imposed in the event that such notification is not given. To comply with this statute, representatives of AACE will notify Sunshine 811 of our proposed explorations. In addition, non- participating utility companies, as identified by us, will be notified of our proposed explorations. This service will require a lead time of between 2 and 5 business days, prior to the mobilization of exploration equipment, to comply with Sunshine 811 operation procedures. LABORATORY TESTING PROGRAM AACE's project engineer will perform visual classification on the recovered samples and will coordinate a suitable laboratory testing program of select samples. Laboratory testing may include grain size, Atterberg limits, organic content, moisture content, etc. Further, four LBR tests will be performed. ENGINEERING ANALYSIS & REPORT AACE will perform engineering analysis of all data obtained to evaluate general subsurface conditions and to develop engineering recommendations to guide site preparation procedures, pavement design, and any other pertinent geotechnical engineering aspects of the project. Our recommendations will be presented in a written report (PDF/email) upon conclusion of the study, along with all data developed during the exploration and our laboratory testing. SCHEDULE Following written authorization to proceed, we can mobilize our crews and drilling equipment within 7 to 10 business days (allowing for the Sunshine 811 response). We preliminarily estimate that our field work will have a duration of 1 to 2 days. Our laboratory testing and report preparation will require an additional 5 to 7 business days to complete, however, verbal recommendations can be provided shortly after the completion of the field and laboratory exploration program.
