Mezzina IE C Project Designer Subject: Proposal for Soil Borings and MAY 14 2008 Construction Materials Testing Services INDIAN FII COUNTY 1 " Road from 35" Avenue to32ntlAvenue ENGINES IN DIVISION Indian River County, Florida RECD BY: IRC Project # 0522 Dear Mr. Mezzina : As requested , we are pleased to present the following proposal for conducting soil borings for the subject project. Based on information provided to us , we understand that the project includes stormwater retention swales along portions of the subject roadway that will be paved in the near future. Shallow soil stratigraphy and an estimate of the normal seasonal high groundwater table level are needed for the design of the swales. The following summarizes our proposed scope of work and associated fees for conducting the subject exploration . FIELD EXPLORATION As discussed, our field exploration program will consist of performing four auger borings to a depth of approximately 2 to 3 feet below the encountered groundwater table or to a maximum depth of 6 feet below ground surface, whichever is encountered first. The borings will be conducted using a 3-inch diameter hand (bucket) auger in the vicinity of the locations selected by the client. Each sample will be removed from the auger in the field and then examined and visually classified by our field personnel . Representative portions will be sealed and packaged for transportation to our laboratory for further analysis as required . Water level observations will be made in the boreholes during the drilling operation . The boreholes will be backfilled with soil cuttings upon completion of the field program . 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 All data obtained will be made to evaluate general subsurface conditions . The data developed during the exploration will be submitted in a written report upon conclusion of the exploration . We will also provide an estimate of the normal seasonal high groundwater table level at the boring locations. COST ESTIMATE The costs associated with the aforementioned tasks are presented below. The total cost will not be exceeded without prior authorization . Our estimated services are itemized as follows : 460 Concourse Place Nw, Unit 1 , Port St. Lucie, Florida 34986, Phone (772; 878-0072 FAX (772) 878-0097 Offices in Bartow, Cocoa, Fort Myers, Miami..
