Indian River County Public Works Department January 27, 2006 1840 25`h Street Proposal No. P06- 11 -3037 Vero Beach, Florida 32960 Attention: Mrs. Terry Rauth. . . . viafacsimile (772-978-1806) Subject: Geotechnical Services Soil Borings and Field Permeability Tests Rebel Road at 43rd Avenue Indian River County, Florida Dear Mrs. Rauth : INTRODUCTION Pursuant to your request, we are pleased to submit this proposal to provide geotechnical services in connection with proposed development of the ±8-acre land parcel located along the north side of Rebel Road and just west of 43rd Avenue in Vero Beach (Indian River County), Florida. Presently, the property exists as a vacant, undeveloped land tract. PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS We understand that Indian River County is considering the subject parcel for construction of a pond. Based on our discussion with Mrs. Rauth and Mr. Diable (of Indian River County and Arcadis, respectively), it has not been determined if the pond will be constructed as a wet or dry pond. We understand that tree stumps may have been buried on the subject site. A preliminary subsurface study of the property is required at this time to aid the placement of the pond. SCOPE OF WORK The scope of work that we propose to undertake for the project will entail six (6) principal tasks: I . Review of the Soil Survey of Indian River County Area, Florida to identify the predominant soil types that have been mapped in the site area. 2 . Exploration of the subsurface conditions of the site with four (4) SPT borings. The SPT borings will be drilled to a depth of 25 feet below the existing ground surface using a truck-mounted drill rig and utilizing mud rotary procedures. 523A NW Enterprise Drive, Port St. Lucie, Florida 34986 • (772) 343-9787 • Fax (772) 343-9404 Indian River County Public Works Department Page 2 Proposal No. P06- 11 -3037 3 . Field testing of the site' s hydraulic conductivity by means of four (4) borehole permeability tests. Tests will be conducted within angered boreholes in accordance with the St. John' s River Water Management District testing procedures. 4. Laboratory testing of soil samples encountered in the borings for natural moisture content, organic content and/or particle-size distribution. 5 . Evaluation of the geotechnical engineering impact of the subsurface conditions upon the planned construction. 6. Submittal of a brief report, which furnishes our findings and conclusions regarding the soils encountered. SCHEDULE We expect to initiate the field exploration for the project within ten ( 10) days of receiving your written notice to proceed. Barring weather delays, we expect to complete the field exploration within fifteen ( 15) days of your written notice to proceed. The report of our findings, conclusions and recommendations will be submitted about five (5) business days thereafter. The overall time frame for our work will be about four (4) weeks. COMPENSATION Based upon our general knowledge of the subsurface conditions of the site area and an interpretation of your requirements, we are willing to provide the field and laboratory services previously outlined for a fixed fee of $5,200. A breakdown of the fee is given on Attachment A to this proposal. The proposed fee assumes that site access is sufficient to allow entry of a conventional, 4-wheel drive, truck-mounted drill rig. No budget allowance has been made for vegetation clearing, dozer assistance or other means to overcome difficult access. Should that become necessary, we would contact you immediately and revise our proposal accordingly. This work will be performed under our current Continuing Services Contract with Indian River County. The unit fees quoted herein are consistent with our Fee Schedule for the contract period of October 2005 through October 2006. 000 KAEET Indian River County Public Works Department Page 3 Proposal No. P06- 11 -3037 Thank you for considering DE&T for this assignment.
