Proposal for Geotechnical Services,Phase 1 ESA and Database Review <br /> 2.57 Acres Site- <br /> Highway U.S.70A and Meadowland Drive,Hillsborough,North Carolina <br /> ECS Proposal Number 06P:16687-16689 <br /> with the attached Fee Schedule. Before modifying or expanding the extent of our exploration <br /> program, you would be informed of our intentions for both your review and authorization. <br /> Task 2 - Phase I ESA <br /> Based on the above outlined scope of services, ECS can perform the Phase I ESA for a lump sum <br /> fee of$1,800.00 <br /> Task 3— Database Review <br /> Based on the above outlined scope of services, ECS can perform the Database Review for a lump <br /> sum fee of$800.00. <br /> Preliminary Items <br /> Existing utilities must be addressed before beginning on-site exploratory work, as follows: <br /> • ECS will contact the public utility locator service, North Carolina One-Call Center, to request <br /> that utilities be marked prior to performing exploratory work (digging, drilling, etc.). The <br /> North Carolina One-Call Center then contacts the utility companies typically known to have <br /> utilities located in the vicinity of the project site. Normally, this includes water, gas, sewer, <br /> electrical power, telephone, and cable. The individual companies mark their utilities using <br /> spray paint, but only extend to the meter. It is the client's responsibility to identify other <br /> utilities. <br /> • ECS herein asks that the client notify us of all utilities located on-site, particularly those <br /> utilities beyond the meter or private utilities that are not identified by the North Carolina One- <br /> Call Center. While ECS will take precautions to avoid utilities that the owner notifies ECS of, <br /> ECS is not responsible for utilities that the North Carolina One-Call Center does not mark. <br /> • Hiring Private Locator services is beyond the scope of this proposal and not included. <br /> However, for an additional fee, ECS can retain a private locator to locate utilities beyond the <br /> meters and private utilities. If this is needed on this project, please identify this on the <br /> attached "Proposal Acceptance Form." <br /> SCHEDULE OF WORK <br /> We will begin the above scope of work immediately after receiving your written authorization to <br /> proceed. Our work starts with our contacting the public utility locator service, but we cannot <br /> begin work on-site until they have completed their location work, usually within 48 hours, <br /> excluding weekends and holidays. <br /> Based on current availability and weather permitting, we anticipate that the field work will begin <br /> within 3 to 5 business days of written authorization to proceed. We anticipate that the field work <br /> will take about 2 business days to complete, and the reports will be provided within 15 business <br /> days after receiving written authorization to proceed. In order to maintain this schedule, it is <br /> critical that we receive your written authorization, special instructions and distribution list in a <br /> timely manner. <br /> 4 <br />
