Thompson <br /> Orange County Asset Management & Purchasing <br /> 131 W. Margaret Lane <br /> P.O. Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br /> RE: Proposal for Geotechnical Services and Phase I ESA <br /> Orange County Jail Site <br /> SE Churton (Hwy 86) & Interstate 85 <br /> Hillsborough, Orange County, North Carolina <br /> ECS Proposal Number 06:17061 <br /> Dear Mr. Thompson: <br /> ECS Carolinas, LLP (ECS) is pleased to provide Orange County Asset Management & <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 /> We understand the subject property will be developed, but at this time, no design has been <br /> performed. We also understand our services are requested as part of the Due Diligence <br /> process prior to development. ECS has not visited the site; however, based on the information <br /> provided by you, and review of local aerial photos and the Orange County GIS website, we <br /> understand the 6.8-acre site is part of a larger parcel and is relatively wooded. The site (PIN# <br /> 9873080559) is located at SE Churton (Hwy86) and interstate 85, in Hillsborough, North <br /> Carolina. We understand preliminary geotechnical services and a Phase I Environmental Site <br /> Assessment are requested for this site. <br /> SCOPE OF'SERVICES <br /> Geotechnical Services <br /> The purpose of this exploration is to explore the site subsurface conditions and provide <br /> preliminary geotechnical recommendations for foundation systems and site grading procedures <br /> for construction of the proposed facility. To accomplish this, ECS proposes to explore the site <br /> with soil test borings as described below. This information should be used by the design <br /> engineers and architects to formulate the individual component designs. <br /> Field Exploration and Laboratory Services <br /> Our services will include drilling a total of five exploratory soil test borings to depths of 20 to 40 feet <br /> below the existing ground surface or auger refusal, testing of the recovered samples, as required, <br /> and preparing an engineering report. One boring will be advanced to a depth of 40 feet below <br /> existing ground surface or auger refusal for seismic site classification purposes and the remaining <br /> four borings will be advanced to depths of 20 feet below existing ground surface or auger refusal. <br /> 9001 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh, NC 27617-7505 • T: 919-861-9910 .
