Kimley Horn -2- <br />Ardaman <br />2- <br />Ardaman Proposal No. 25-P-5721 <br />The auger borings will be drilled in the green areas using a hand-held 3 -inch diameter bucket <br />auger. Each sample will be removed from the auger in the field and then examined and visually <br />classified by our crew chief. Representative portions will be sealed and packaged for <br />transportation to our laboratory for further analysis as required. Water level observations will be <br />made in the boreholes during the drilling operation. It is noted that the hand augers may terminate <br />at depths shallower than 6 feet if refusal to penetration and/or borehole collapse during drilling. <br />The asphalt cores will be performed on the shoulders using a portable coring machine equipped <br />with a diamond -tipped core barrel. The locations of the cores will be selected by an Ardaman <br />engineer based on site observations. The thicknesses of the asphalt, base material, and stabilized <br />subgrade (if present) will be measured within the core holes and recorded by our field personnel. <br />Representative samples will be sealed and packaged for transportation to our laboratory for <br />further analysis as required. The core holes will be filled with cold -patch asphalt. We have <br />assumed that one day of Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) will be required for the job. <br />LABORATORY TESTING <br />Routine laboratory visual classification will be performed along with specific classification tests <br />deemed necessary (i.e., percent fines and organic content). We note that no asphalt content <br />testing, extraction/gradation testing or Limerock Bearing Ratio (LBR) tests are being proposed at <br />this time. All laboratory tests will be performed in general accordance with applicable ASTM <br />standards. <br />ENGINEERING ANALYSIS AND REPORT <br />Engineering analysis of all data obtained will be made to evaluate general subsurface conditions <br />and to develop engineering recommendations to guide site preparation within the proposed <br />sidewalk area. We will also provide the pavement core results. Our recommendations, together <br />with data developed during the exploration, will be submitted in a written report upon conclusion <br />of the study. <br />COST ESTIMATE <br />The costs associated with the aforementioned tasks will not exceed below estimates without prior <br />authorization from the client. <br />Subsurface Exploration $5,300.00 <br />Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) — 1 day (@ $2,000.00 $2,000.00 <br />Total $7,300.00 <br />CLOSURE <br />This proposal is subject to the following conditions: (1) access to boring locations is to be readily <br />available to our equipment and field personnel, (2) 1 day of MOT will suffice, (3) the proposed <br />number of borings and the boring depths will be adequate, (4) undisturbed samples and <br />consolidation tests on fine grained soils are not budgeted into the total cost, (5) Ardaman & <br />
