We wili obtain a geotechnical consultant to perform borings and studies necessary to determiiie the slope stability, bearing capacity, and other relevant parameters for design. V1%e will do the topographical surveying necessary to lay out the extent and shape of the existing failure. We will analyze two (2) preliminary repair concepts and prepare comparative cost estimates and we will design the selective alternative. Our fee includes preliminary coordination with the US Army Corps of Engineers to determine their involvement in the project. If a full preconstruction notice for a Nationwide Permit becomes necessary or if an individual permit is required we will provide these services at the additional Iiourly rates contained in Appendix A of our contract. For your information 1 have prepared a preliminary estimate of construction costs based upon gabions, without extensive additional Corps requirements, of $150,000. A key element for the project will be the contractor's ability to access the site and stage construction operations. If we could locate and provide to the contractor a work area near the project it could be very beneficial for project costs. We are prepared to begin immediately upon your authorization and will complete the project as promptly as possible corresponding to the level of coordination which may be required with the Corps. Our fee for the above services would be: • Geotechnical Studies $8,000 • Surveying, Engineering Design, and Preliminary Coordination $12,400 TOTAL $20,400 We appreciate this opportunity to be of service to the City of Paris.
