Re: Proposal for Geotechnical Investigation
Bayland Park Marina
Boat Channel Markers
Baytown, Texas
Dear Mr. Contella:
We are pleased to submit this revised proposal for a geotechnical investigation
related to the above referenced project. The purpose of this revision is to reduce the
scope of the project. We understand that the existing channel markers are leaning badly.
It is not known whether this is the result of being hit or because of insufficient
embedment.
Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this study is to investigate the subsurface conditions at selected
locations and to develop geotechnical recommendations for the design of new channel
markers. These recommendations will include lateral earth pressure curves which can be
used by your structural engineer to calculate the required embedment once the pile size
and anticipated loads are determined.
The geotechnical study will consist of the following:
I. Drilling and sampling three -40 -foot borings below the water surface for a
total depth of 120 feet. We understand the borings initially will be located
relative to existing features and will be more accurately located by others.
2. Performing laboratory tests on soil samples recovered from the borings.
EXHIBIT A
Mr. Carl J. Contella, P.E. Proposal No. 1140128199
Page 2 Revised
September 14, 1998
3. Performing engineering analyses to develop geotechnical recommended
criteria to be used to design the markers.
4. Prepare a Geoteclvlical Investigation Report including geotechnical
parameters and recommendations.
Project Schedule
We should be able to start field work within two (2) weeks after receiving your
written authorization. It is estimated that the field work can be completed in about three
(3) days, barring bad weather.. The laboratory tests will be completed in about two (2)
weeks. The preliminary design information can be provided to you as it becomes
available. The final report, which will include field and laboratory data and design
recommendations, will be submitted in about five to eight weeks after receiving your
notice to proceed.
Cost
Based on the scope of work outlined above, the cost of the field investigation,
laboratory testing and engineering analyses, including a Geotechnical Report will be a
lump sum of $12,627.50. The details of cost breakdown are given in Attaclunent Nos. 1
through 5. 1 `
We appreciate the opportunity to present this proposal� Formal authorization is
required. It may be provided by signing in the space below and returning a copy for our
files. Should you have any questions, we will be pleased to discuss them with you.
Very truly yours,
