(ASE) is pleased to submit this estimate of costs to provide Geotechnical Observation and Testing Services during the excavation and backfill testing phase of the proposed construction of the Marina Drive Storm Drain Improvements. This proposal includes a cost estimate for the field, laboratory and office services required to provide geotechnical observation and testing services. It is understood by ASE that this project is subject to prevailing wage and therefore our estimated costs for field testing are based on prevailing wage rates and regulations, according to the labor laws of the State of California. CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION &TESTING Based on information provided by you, it is ASE's understanding that it is proposed to provide observation and testing services during the excavation and backfill of the storm drain trench during construction. For the purpose of preparing this proposal, ASE has assumed that the trench backfill compaction operation would require 45 days with our technician being onsite for U of each day (4 hrs/clay) for observation and testing, laboratory testing incidental to compaction testing and provide a final compaction report at the completion of the operation. 1. Scope of Services It will be necessary to provide observation and testing services during excavation and grading to comply with generally accepted specifications. ASE would provide the following services during the mainline utilities and pavement construction phase: a. Preconstruction meeting, initial site sampling and consultation, as needed. b. Observation and testing during excavation and backfill compaction. For the purpose of this proposal, we have assumed the backfill operation will require 45 trips to the site for our technician at 4 hours per trip. Laboratory work incidental to compaction testing including maximum density of the native soils and CMB. d. At the completion of grading, ASE will prepare a final report (if required) for the project summarizing the geotechnical services performed. 2 Estimated Fees The cost of these services depends mainly on the number of required trips to the site, the number of retests necessary due to initial inadequate compaction, the pace and performance of the contractor, the time span needed to complete the entire project and the number of compaction reports required. The assumed hours listed below are based on your estimated number of trips to the site (45 trips @ 4 hrs/trip). Field Technician rates are inclusive of all necessary testing equipment, mileage and transportation. For the purpose of this proposal we have assumed normal workday hours of Monday through Friday and between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM.

Additional services required beyond the above scope would be billed as an extra cost item. Conversely, if the services required are less than anticipated above, billing would be less as we only charge for services performed. • ti y City of Seat Beach November 30, 2012 i`S';5E Proposal No. P12-t79 Page 2 SOILS ENGINEERING, INC.
