Margaret Lane <br /> PO Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Reference: Proposal for Geotechnical Services and Phase I ESA <br /> Proposed Library Site <br /> 203 South Greensboro Street <br /> Carrboro, Orange County, North Carolina <br /> ECS Proposal Number 06:19462 and 06:19463 <br /> Dear Mr.Thompson: <br /> ECS Carolinas, LLP (ECS) appreciates this opportunity to provide Orange County Asset Management & <br /> Purchasing with general guidelines and a fee estimate for performing Geotechnical Services and a Phase <br /> I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the above-referenced property. This proposal contains a <br /> summary of relevant information as ECS understands it, a project schedule and the estimated costs for <br /> completion of the proposed work. <br /> PROJECT UNDERSTANDING <br /> ECS understands the subject property will be developed with a 1-to 2-story library/retail structure with <br /> an integrated split-level parking lot. The site (PIN# 9778857932) is located at 203 South Greensboro <br /> Street in Carrboro, North Carolina. Based on the available information and review of local aerial photos <br /> and the Orange County GIS website, we understand that the 0.89-acre site consists of one parcel that <br /> was previously occupied by Andrew-Riggsbee Hardware Store which has since been demolished. The <br /> site is currently being used as a passenger vehicle parking lot with the asphalt parking areas, slab on <br /> grade, and presumably foundations associated with the past development still in place. ECS <br /> understands that geotechnical services and a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment are requested for <br /> this site. <br /> SCOPE OF SERVICES <br /> Geotechnical Services <br /> The purpose of this exploration is to determine the site subsurface conditions and provide geotechnical <br /> recommendations for foundation systems and site grading procedures for construction of the proposed <br /> structure. To accomplish this, ECS proposes to explore the site with soil test borings as described below. <br /> This information should be used by design engineers and architects for the above-referenced project to <br /> formulate the individual component designs. <br /> Field Exploration and Laboratory Services <br /> ECS' services will include drilling a total of six (6) exploratory soil test borings to depths of 20 to 50 feet <br /> below the existing ground surface or auger refusal, testing of the recovered samples, as required, and <br /> preparing an engineering report. One boring will be advanced to a depth of 50 feet below existing <br /> ground surface or auger refusal for seismic site classification purposes and five borings will be advanced <br /> to a depth of 20 feet below existing ground surface or auger refusal. Coring will be required within <br /> 9001 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh, INC • 27617-7505 • T: 919-861-9910 • F: 919-861-9911 • www.ecslimited.com <br /> ECS Capitol Services,PLLC • ECS Carolinas,LLP• ECS Central,PLLC • ECS Florida,LLC • ECS Mid-Atlantic,LLC • ECS Midwest,LLC • ECS Southeast,LLC • ECS Texas,LLP <br />
