PROPOSAL FOR SUBSURFACE SOIL EXPLORATION AND
GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING CONSULTING
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY LANDFILL IMPROVEMENTS
PROPOSED HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE FACILITY
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA
AACE Proposal No. P20-1772
(November 2, 2020)
December 17, 2020 (Rev2)
As requested, Andersen Andre Consulting Engineers, Inc. (RACE) is pleased to present this proposal
for preparing a subsurface exploration and geotechnical engineering evaluation for the above referenced
project. The purpose of the exploration is to obtain general subsurface soil information so that
recommendations can be provided for site preparation procedures, foundation design, and other
geotechnical aspects of the proposed development project. Additionally, as requested, pre -construction
materials testing services will be performed as part of a fill stockpiling process.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Based on our review of the forwarded project information prepared by Kimley-Horn, we understand
that it is proposed to construct a single -story ±29,000SF prefabricated metal building ("Household
Hazardous Waste Facility") with a column spacing of about 75'x40', maximum column loads of 45 kips
(gravity) and 60 kips (uplift), and maximum wall loads of 1 KLF.
Further, as part of a pre -construction fill selection process, we understand that the County is proposing
to stockpile suitable fill materials as they are being hauled to the landfill from various construction sites
around the county. As part of that process, AACE is being requested to periodically visit the landfill and
inspect/sample ±160CY stockpiles on an estimated 22 occasions for the purpose of rendering an
opinion relative to the suitability of each stockpile for use as either roadway construction, landscape fill(').
material, or mass site and pad fill for the new facility.
Note (1): With respect to landscape fill, AACE will simply provide information relative to organic content and percent fines
of the materials; no nutrient testing will be performed.
GEOTECHNICAL FIELD EXPLORATION PROGRAM
Based on our understanding of the project, and our experience with subsurface conditions in the site
vicinity, and on the request of Kimley-Horn, we propose to perform eight (8) Standard Penetration Test
(SPT) borings (ASTM D1586) to depths of 30 feet below the existing ground surface. In addition, as
requested, we proposed to complete two (2) Double Ring Infiltrometer tests (ASTM D3385) and two
(2) 6 -ft deep in-situ borehole permeability tests.

General Comments
Page -2-
Our field work will be completed using truck -mounted drilling equipment and support trucks. An
AACE field engineer will oversee all drilling/field work operations. AACE will take reasonable efforts
to reduce damage to property, such as rutting of the ground surface. However, it should also be
understood that in the normal course of our work some such disturbance could occur. We have not
budgeted to restore the site beyond backfilling our boreholes with accumulated soil cuttings. If there
are any restrictions or special requirements regarding this .site or exploration, these should be known
prior to commencing the field work.
Safe
AACE has a commitment to safety of all its employees. As such, and in accordance with out 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 State One -Call Center (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,
if deemed necessary, 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.
In addition to notifying Sunshine 811, we have included a budget for a private utility locate company
.(GeoTek Services, LLC) who will scan the boring locations using Ground Penetrating Radar and
Electromagnetic Induction. -
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.
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, foundation design,
and any other pertinent geotechnical engineering aspects of the project. Our recommendations will be
presented in a written report upon conclusion of the study, along with all data developed during the
exploration and our laboratory testing.

PROPOS[{D RECYCLING FACILITY
AACE PROPOSAL No. P20-1772
SCHEDULE
Weather condition permitting, we will mobilize our crews and drilling equipment within 3 to 5 business
days. We preliminarily estimate that AACE's field work will have a duration of 2 to 3 days. Our
laboratory testing and report preparation will require an additional 7 to 10 business days to complete,
however, verbal recommendations can be provided shortly after the completion of the field and
laboratory exploration program.
COST ESTIMATE
Based on our knowledge of the project to -date, the attached summary of services and corresponding
fees will be necessary to meet our goals. We expect that the total fee for our services will not exceed
$23,542.00.. Should we encounter conditions on the site that warrant more investigative effort than
anticipated, we will inform you immediately. AACE will not proceed with additional work without your
approval. Charges will be made for the work actually performed using the unit fees given in the attached
"Project Services and Fees" which are included in our Continuing Services Contract with Indian River
County.
TERMS & CONDITIONS
This proposal is subject to the following terms and conditions: (1) the site is accessible to our field
crews and equipmentl, (2) we have right of entry onto the site, (3) the requested number of boxings and
the boring depths will be sufficient for our analysis, (4) AACE will contact the Sunshine 811 and
coordinate the location of underground utilities through them. We cannot take responsibility for
damages to underground structures and/or services which do not subscribe to "Sunshine"; their
locations are to be provided by the client prior to commencement of the field work.
CLOSURE
We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to present this proposal. If the terms above are acceptable to
you, please sign and return the attached Professional Services Agreement as an indication of your
acceptance and authorization to proceed with the work. Please contact us if you should have any
questions concerning this cost estimate.
