DocuSign Envelope ID: AFOFC7DF- FDAD- 4E58- A786- 72F744EA8560 <br />June 22, 2018 ECS Southeast, LLP <br />Since clearing of site vegetation is required to access some of the proposed boring locations, please note <br />that minimum 10 -foot wide cleared paths will result. We will attempt to minimize disturbance, but <br />felled trees and cleared underbrush should be anticipated in cleared paths. Our Cost Estimate does not <br />include any restoration of cleared areas, moving /chipping of felled trees, etc. If there are any areas <br />where clearing is not to be performed (such as in Resource Protection Areas (RPA) or other areas), those <br />areas must be clearly marked on plans provided to us and should be delineated in the field with flagging <br />prior to our mobilization to the site. ECS cannot be responsible for disturbance of sensitive or restricted <br />areas not identified in this manner. <br />SCHEDULE <br />In preparing this proposal, we have assumed that the client will assist in the coordination of our access <br />to the site with the current site owners /occupants. We anticipate being able to mobilize to the site <br />within approximately 7 days after authorization to proceed and notification that the appropriate on -site <br />personnel have been informed. <br />We anticipate that the drilling operations will require about 2 days, and that the laboratory testing, after <br />drilling is completed, will require about 3 days. Therefore, for time budget purposes, the entire scope <br />should take about 4 weeks from initial authorization through final report submission. Verbal comments <br />on findings can be provided within three days of completion of the borings, if requested. <br />Phase 2 — Supplemental Geotechnical Exploration <br />The supplemental geotechnical exploration for the proposed development will be performed, if <br />required, once the final site layout has been established. The following scope may need to be revised <br />based on the soil conditions encountered during the initial exploration. <br />Field Exploration <br />a. Field locate borings by using hand -held GPS unit, referencing existing site features, and using <br />available plans. <br />b. Clear paths through wooded areas using hand operated equipment to provide drill rig access to <br />the borings locations. <br />C. Mobilize an All- Terrain Vehicle (ATV) mounted drilling rig to the site. <br />d. Perform up to 5 borings to a maximum depth of 20 feet at locations that will be determined at a <br />later date. The borings will be extended to the proposed depths below the existing ground <br />surface, unless auger refusal causes them to be terminated at a more shallow depth. Hollow <br />stem auger drilling techniques are proposed. <br />e. Perform Standard Penetration Test (SPT) tests at standard intervals within the borings for <br />engineering analysis. <br />ECS Proposal No: 06:20895 <br />Page 15 gi_ <br />A <br />
