Ms. Mary Saarion <br /> January 27, 1995 <br /> Page 2 <br /> We have visited the site and, assuming we do not receive a significant snowfall, we should <br /> able to gain access to representative test locations with a 4-wheel drive, one-ton truck drill rig. <br /> Scope of Services <br /> Fieldwork <br /> To evaluate the athletic field area, we propose to drill and sample three standard penetration test <br /> borings (ASTM:D 1586). Our proposal is based on a total boring lineal footage of 48 feet for <br /> these 3 borings, resulting in an average depth of 16'. The program may be altered depending on <br /> conditions encountered, although will plan to limit ourselves to 48 lineal feet to remain within <br /> budget. <br /> To aid your evaluation of the parking lot improvements, we propose to place two flight auger <br /> borings (ASTM:D 1452) to a depth of 4%' each. <br /> Our services will include arranging clearance of underground public utilities through the Gopher <br /> State One Call System. We will also document the boring locations and measure the surface <br /> elevation at each test location. <br /> Laboratory <br /> Our services will include mechanical laboratory testing of selected soil samples to aid in judging <br /> engineering properties of the soils. In this proposal, we have budgeted for $75 for geotechnical <br /> laboratory testing. If conditions are encountered which indicate the laboratory program should <br /> be expanded for proper evaluation, we will review the recommended tests and associated cost <br /> with you prior to proceeding. <br /> Engineering Report <br /> Following the field and laboratory work, a formal engineering report will be prepared and <br /> submitted. This report will include logs of the test borings, the laboratory test results, a review <br /> of engineering properties of the on-site soils, and our geotechnical engineering opinions and <br /> recommendations regarding the following: <br /> • Estimates of future settlements or heaves of the athletic field area <br /> • Grading procedures to correct the athletic field area if the future movements are <br /> anticipated to be excessive. <br /> • Parking lot subgrade preparation (if needed) <br /> • Estimated subgrade R-value <br />
