L�Apez geoscience inc. 6th SYreet & 24ih Street Improvements Pavement, Paris, Texas <br />Geotechnical Pave�nent Evaluation Proposa! No. P1301-022 <br />Most paving designs are based on a Califomia Bearing Ratio (CBR) value. The client has not <br />requested a subgrade CBR test for paving, and it is not included in the fees proposed herein. <br />Therefore, Apex will provide an estimated CBR value for paving recommendations, based on <br />other physical properties and correlations with published values. <br />For evaluation of sub-grade for design of pavement sections, California Bearing Ratio (CBR) <br />tests will be conducted. We anticipate conducting one (1) of these tests, on raw sub-grade. A soil <br />moisture versus density (Proctor) test is also required for each CBR. The Proctor test results may <br />be useful during construction as part of the quality control program. <br />Report - Results of the field exploration and laboratory tests will be used in the engineering <br />analysis and in the formulation of the recommendations. These will be presented in a bound <br />engineering report. The report will document the subsurface conditions encountered, the results <br />of all tests perfortned, and provide design and construction recommendations for pavements. <br />General comments regarding site development and earthwork will be included, if appropriate. <br />The report will be prepared and sealed by a Registered Professional Engineer trained and <br />experienced in the practice of geotechnical engineering. <br />FEES <br />Based on the above-described program, a lump sum fee of THREE THOUSAND 1vINE <br />HUNDRED NINETY DOLLARS ($3,990.00) is proposed. This lump sum price is based on <br />performing only the scope of drilling and laboratory tests listed above. Fees for the performance <br />of all other services will be determined on a unit price basis, in accordance with the attached <br />Rate Schedule. <br />Our invoice will be submitted upon completion of services. Should subsurface conditions be <br />encountered which, based on our professional judgement, warrant significant revisions in the <br />scope of work and/or result in stgnificantly higher costs, we will contact you prior to initiating <br />this additional work. <br />CONDITIONS <br />The Client agrees to provide right-of-entry to conduct the exploration, and to indemnify Apex <br />against reasonable damage(s) which occur in the normal course of our services on behalf of the <br />Client. Traffic control is to be provided by the CiTy of Paris or the Client. Client also agrees to <br />notify Apex of any known subsurface utilities, structures, or other objects existing on the site. If <br />there are any other restrictions, unusual circumstances, or special requirements regarding the site <br />or this proposed investigation, Client shall communicate these to Apex prior to commencing <br />fieldwork. Also attached are our General Conditions, which are to be considered a part of this <br />proposal. T'his proposal is valid far 90 days. <br />The above lump sum covers the work needed to present our findings and recommendations in a <br />report form. Not included are reviews of pavement drawings, preparation of construction <br />specifications, special conferences, and any other work requested after submittal of our report. <br />Such consultations are encouraged to ensure that the intent of our recommendations are properly <br />implemented by the design team, and that construction costs are minimized by fully considering <br />available options involving earthwork and structural concepts. It is recommended that Apex be <br />retained after completion of the subsurface investigation to provide these services. <br />page 3 <br />
