IRC PROTECT No. IRC -1817
FDOT FM No. 444269-1-54-01
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA
As requested, Andersen Andre Consulting Engineers, Inc. (AACE) is pleased to present this cost estimate for limited
construction materials testing services relative to the above -referenced County project. Based on our review of the
Contract Plans for the project prepared by Kimley Horn (dated October 2024), we understand that the project consists
of improvements to approximately 1.7 miles of Indian River Boulevard. The construction duration is 640 days.
Based on our cursory review of the plans, the project entails roadway widening, milling -and -resurfacing, sidewalk
construction and significant drainage improvements. We understand that the selected contractor will retain the services
of a testing firm to provide Quality Control (QC) services; the purpose of our involvement will be to serve in a "reduced
scope" Verification Testing (VT) capacity. As requested by the County, AACE will provide limited testing services on
an "on-call" basis.
Based upon our understanding of the project plans and our prior experience with projects similar to this one, we
estimate the cost of the services will be approximately $55,605.00. The actual cost of AACE's testing services will be
a function of work actually performed in accordance with the attached unit fee schedule (in accordance with the
continuing service contract between Indian River County and AACE, Contract #2023061). Contractor efficiency,
methodology and changes in testing frequencies may affect the testing cost. We will notify you in advance if it appears
that the cost estimate will be exceeded.
To authorize us to proceed with this project, please execute and return to us a copy of the attached Professional Services
Agreement form or a Purchase Order number. If you have any questions or if we can provide any additional
information, please feel free to contact us at your convenience.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(1) Unit rates apply to standard working days, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m. Testing and hourly rates will be
increased by 50% for weekend, holiday or after-hours services (i.e., services performed before 7:00 am or after 7:00 pm).
Our man-hour rates as presented herein are based on day -time testing only. No allowances for nighttime work are reflected
in our fee.
(2) The contractor (or County personnel) should contact Andersen Andre Consulting Engineers, Inc. at (772) 807-9191 a
minimum of 24 hours prior to any testing and 48 hours prior to weekend and evening work.
(3) If our testing estimate for a specific work element is insufficient for that particular activity, resources from another work
element can be used without prior authorization from the client as long as our total cost estimate is not exceeded. We will
notify you in advance if it appears that the cost estimate presented in the attached unit fee schedule will be exceeded.
(4) AACE has not been provided with the selected Contractor's proposed schedule. Therefore, man-hours and associated
testing quantities are based on our experience with similar projects. It is possible that our testing budget may require
revision based on contractor efficiency, methodology and scheduling.
(5) Soil sample and concrete cylinder pickup for laboratory testing (e.g., Proctor, LBR testing, compressive strength, etc.) will
be billed at $68.00/hour if not scheduled with other work.

that may be required for this project.

RACE representative on-site nor the observation and testing performed by our firm implies AACE's responsibility for
defects discovered in the construction work.
(8) AACE will not be responsible for job or site safety for this project; job site safety will be the sole responsibility of the
contractor.
(9) AACE will not have stop -work authority. Should our representatives encounter materials or workmanship that, either based
on direct testing or on our experience with similar projects, does not appear to meet the engineering plans and
specifications, we will notify Indian River County immediately. Results will not be relayed to the Contractor without prior
consent of the County.
(10) We understand that an FDOT Earthwork/Density Log Book will be prepared for the project by the QC firm; RACE will
not be required to prepare the log book, nor will AACE be required to enter test results into either the log book or the
