RE: Proposal for Geotechnical Services
Kirkwood Ave/Stonegate 1st Addition Street Improvements
Lake Elmo, Minnesota
Dear Mr. Stempski:
Per your request, we are submitting this proposal to conduct the following scope:
Scope:
Fieldwork
• Drill and sample 10 standard penetration test borings in the two project areas to depths of
6 feet.
• Clear underground public utilities through the Gopher State One Call system.
• Measure and document the final boring locations. Measuring the surface elevations is not
planned.
Laboratory
• Visually-manually classify the soils per the Unified Soil Classification System.
• Conduct water content tests on cohesive samples retrieved.
• Conduct unit price soil index testing ($600 unit price budget, allowing for six sieve
analysis tests).
Deliverables
• Prepare an engineering report, which will include:
o Logs of the test borings, including N-values and laboratory results.
o Descriptions of the drilling, sampling, testing, and classification methods.
o Review of soil and ground-water conditions encountered.
o Recommendations for roadway subgrade preparation, estimated R-value, and
comments on design sections.

explore for the presence or extent of environmental contamination at the site. However, we will
note obvious contamination encountered.
Fee:
Our services will be performed on a time-and-materials basis per the attached fee schedule. For
the scope described, we will establish$4,800 as a not-to-exceed fee.
Terms/Conditions:
Our services will be performed per the Contract Agreement Between the City of Lake Elmo and
American Engineering Testing, Inc.for Professional Services, dated July 20, 2010.
