Reference : Proposal for a Subsurface Exploration
Oslo Road Paving and Parking Lot
Oslo Road east of US - 1
Vero Beach , Indian River County , Florida
Universal Proposal Number 1930 . 1009 . 00001
Universal Docs No . 805168
Dear Mr. Weragoda :
Universal Engineering Sciences , Inc . ( Universal ) is pleased to submit this proposal to provide
geotechnical engineering services for the above - referenced project . This proposal includes a
scope of services and estimated costs for conducting a subsurface exploration and preparing a
geotechnical engineering report in accordance with generally accepted soil and foundation
engineering practices .
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Universal understands that the proposed project will include the construction of a paved parking
lot and associated drainage improvements to serve the existing boat ramp at the eastern
terminus of Oslo Road , along with paving approximately 1/2 - mile of Oslo Road , east of US - 1 to
the existing boat ramp at the Indian River Lagoon , in Indian River County , Florida . The parking
lot will be constructed on the south side of the roadway at the eastern terminus of Oslo Road .
Stormwater runoff from the new impervious surfaces will be collected and treated within dry
retention swales along the south side of Oslo Road ( if possible ) with the overflow conveyed to a
proposed wet detention lake located immediately south of the parking lot , within an existing
mosquito impoundment / conservation area .
We understand that only the existing roadway is accessible to our ATV mounted drilling rig .
Boring locations outside of the roadway will be accessed on foot and tests conducted with
portable equipment . Clearing costs are not included in this proposal .
Oslo Road Paving and Parking Lot October 30, 2009
Universal Proposal Number 1930, 1009, 00001 2
SCOPE OF SERVICE
The subsurface exploration will be performed to determine the subsurface soil and groundwater
conditions and to provide design parameters for the design of the new complex . Based on the
information provided by Indian River County , Universal proposes the following field services to
obtain the information regarding the subsurface conditions at the site . The field services will
include the following tasks :
Field Services
• Drill six ( 6 ) Standard Penetration Test ( SPT ) borings within the existing unpaved
roadway to a depth of 7 feet and 15 feet below existing land surface ( bls ) .
• Drill one ( 1 ) Standard Penetration Test ( SPT ) boring within the proposed parking lot area
to a depth of 20 feet bls .
• Drill six ( 6 ) Hand Auger ( HA ) borings with Dynamic Cone Penetrometer Tests ( DCP )
within the proposed dry retention swales and wet detention lake footprint to a depth of 5
feet bls .
• Collect six ( 6 ) Shelby tube samples along the south side of the existing unpaved
roadway at depths just above the current ground water levels .
• Install a temporary location marker ( surveyor' s lath ) at each of the boring locations ,
leave the boring holes open , and obtain groundwater level readings a day after
conducting the borings .
All SPT borings will be drilled in accordance with ASTM D 1586 ( Standard Method for
Penetration Test and Split- Barrel Sampling of Soils ) procedures . The SPT borings will be
sampled continuously at 1 & inch intervals from ground surface to a depth of 7 feet bls .
The SPT borings will be performed using a CME drilling rig using either rotary mud techniques
or continuous flight augers to termination depth . Each recovered soil sample will be visually
classified in the field and a geologic log prepared for each soil boring . Groundwater depths and
any unusual subsurface conditions will be recorded on the boring logs . Representative portions
of the recovered soil samples from each boring location will be sealed and packaged for
transportation to our laboratory for a more detailed analysis , as required . All soil samples will be
classified in general accordance with ASTM D 2487 ( Standard Classification of Soils for
Engineering Purposes ( Unified Soil Classification System ) ) guidelines .
Laboratory Services
Universal will select representative soil samples from the soil borings for gradation analysis to
provide a more detailed classification of the soil types encountered at the site and better define
their engineering properties . Universal estimates that six ( 6 ) samples will be required for
analysis . The samples will be tested according to the procedures listed ASTM D 1140 ( Standard
Test Method for Amount of Material in Soils Finer than the No . 200 Sieve ) . In part , ASTM
D
1140 requires a thorough mixing the sample with water and flushing it through a No . 200 sieve
Viera Medical Office Park October 1 , 2009
Universal Proposal Number 0330. 0909. 00012 3
until all of the particles smaller than the sieve size leave the sample . The percentage of
the
material finer than the No . 200 sieve helps determines the textural nature of the soil sample and
aids in evaluating its engineering characteristics .
Further, organic content tests will be performed in accordance with ASTM D 2974 ( Standard
Test Methods for Moisture , Ash , and Organic Matter of Peat and Other Organic Soils ) . We
estimate that three ( 3 ) samples will be required for this type of analysis .
Six ( 6 ) constant head permeability tests will be performed on soils sampled form the proposed
dry retention ( swale ) areas to determine the infiltration characteristics of the soil types .
Analysis and Engineering Report
Universal will prepare a geotechnical engineering report for the project , which will respond to the
proposed development . The report will be prepared under the direction of a professional
geotechnical engineer registered in the State of Florida who specializes in consulting
engineering . The report will summarize the field and laboratory services performed and provide
an engineering analysis of the site soil and groundwater conditions with special attention to
potential subsurface conditions that may hinder development . The final report will include the
following :
• Methodology and results of the field exploration
• Results of the laboratory testing program
• Estimates of the typical wet season groundwater level at the boring locations
• Recommendations concerning site preparation procedures and pavement design
parameters .
• General comments concerning the anticipated infiltration characteristics of the dry retention
basin subsoils and the possible usages of the wet detention lake subsoils as structural fill for
the proposed pavement areas .
SCHEDULING AND COST ESTIMATE
The field work can be scheduled to begin , based on our present schedule , within one week after
receiving the written authorization to proceed . Universal expects the field work to require one
week to complete . Our laboratory testing analysis and report preparation will require
approximately two weeks to prepare after completion of the field work . A final geotechnical
report should be submitted within four weeks from receiving the written authorization to proceed .
If this schedule needs to be amended or if special scheduling consideration is required please
advice us .
The fee for the subsurface exploration and geotechnical engineering report is $4 , 164 . 00 . This
estimate will not be exceeded without prior written authorization . For specific terms of the
proposed work , please refer to the attached Schedule of Services and Fees , and the General
Notes .
