ECS CAROLINAS, LLP "Setting the Standard for Service" <br /> Geotechnical • Construction Materials • Environmental • Facilities NC Registered Engineering Finn F-1078 <br /> June 11, 2013 <br /> Mr. Jeff Thompson <br /> Asset Management Services Director <br /> Orange County Government <br /> 131 W. Margaret Lane, PO Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278rginia 20175 <br /> RE: Proposal for Geotechnical, Phase I ESA and Database Review <br /> 2.57 Acres Site <br /> U.S. 70A& Meadowland Drive, Hillsborough, North Carolina <br /> ECS Proposal Number 06P:16687-16689 <br /> Dear Mr. Thompson: <br /> ECS Carolinas, LLP (ECS) is pleased to provide Orange County Asset Management and <br /> Purchasing with general guidelines and a fee estimate for performing Geotechnical Services <br /> and a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the above-referenced property. This <br /> proposal contains a summary of relevant information as ECS understands it, a project schedule <br /> and the estimated costs for completion of the proposed work. <br /> PROJECT UNDERSTANDING <br /> The client is looking to purchase the property for either a building expansion or a parking lot <br /> expansion. ECS has not visited the site; however, based on the information provided by you, <br /> and review of local aerial photos and the Orange County GIS website, we understand that the <br /> 2.57-acre site consist of residential rental homes. The site (PIN# 9874717383, 9874716466, <br /> and 9874715479) is located at Highway US-70A and Meadowland Drive in Hillsborough, North <br /> Carolina. We understand that Geotechnical services, Phase I Environmental Site Assessment <br /> and a Database Review are requested for this site. <br /> SCOPE OF SERVICES <br /> Task 1 - Geotechnical Services <br /> The purpose of this exploration is to explore the site subsurface conditions and provide <br /> geotechnical recommendations for site grading procedures for construction of the proposed <br /> storage area. To accomplish this, ECS proposes to explore the site with soil test borings as <br /> described below. This information should be used by the design engineers and architects to <br /> formulate the individual component designs. <br /> Field Exploration and Laboratory Services <br /> Our services will include drilling a total of 3 exploratory soil test borings to depths of 15 feet below <br /> the existing ground surface or auger refusal, whichever occurs first. The proposal assumes a total <br /> of 45 linear feet of drilling. According to the client, if adverse conditions are identified in the <br /> boring, additional borings may be requested to determine the extent of the material. If additional <br /> footage is required, it will be invoiced at an additional rate of $11.00 per linear foot. <br /> Standard Penetration Test (SPT) sampling will be performed in general accordance with ASTM <br /> D1586 at regular depth intervals in each soil test boring. If existing fill material is encountered, <br /> 9001 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh, NC 27617-7505 • T: 919-861-9910 • F: 919-861-9911 • www.ecslimited.com <br /> ECS Capitol Services,PLLC • ECS Carolinas,LLP • ECS Florida,LLC • ECS*idwest,LLC • ECS Mid-Atlantic,LLC • ECS Southeast,LLC • ECS Texas,LLP <br />
