DocuSign Envelope ID: B01E86EC-6FC1-43CE-8E90-79CF68C52249 <br /> ECS Southeast, LLP <br /> within approximately 2 weeks after authorization to proceed and notification that the appropriate on- <br /> site personnel have been informed. <br /> We anticipate that the drilling operations will require about 1 week, and that the laboratory testing, <br /> after drilling is completed, will require about 2 weeks. Therefore, for time budget purposes, the entire <br /> scope should take about 6 weeks from initial authorization through final report submission. Verbal <br /> comments on findings can be provided within 3 days of completion of the borings, if requested. <br /> EXCLUDED GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES <br /> Without attempting to provide a complete list of all or potential geotechnical services performed by ECS <br /> that will be excluded from this proposal, the following are specifically excluded. ECS can perform these <br /> services; however, the proposed fees do not cover any of these services. We would be pleased to <br /> provide you with a separate proposal for additional geotechnical services if these services are <br /> determined to be beneficial to the project. <br /> • Private utility locator. <br /> • Measurement of the ground surface elevation at the boring locations using an <br /> instrument(e.g., automatic level or survey grade GPS unit) accurate to the nearest tenth <br /> of a foot. <br /> • Infiltration rate testing. <br /> • Pressuremeter testing. <br /> • Shear wave velocity measurements for seismic site class determination (ReMi). <br /> • Seismic refraction testing <br /> • Geotechnical exploration and recommendations for deep foundations, such as piles or <br /> drilled shafts. <br /> • Geotechnical exploration and recommendations for site retaining walls. <br /> • Global stability analysis of site retaining walls. <br /> • Design of site retaining walls. <br /> • Geotechnical exploration and recommendations for off-site and/or public (NCDOT) <br /> roads or roadway improvements. <br /> • Development of allowances, including quantity estimates, such as those used for <br /> unsuitable soils and rock excavation for classified excavation construction contracts. <br /> • Review of project drawings and specifications for adherence to and implementation of <br /> geotechnical recommendations. <br /> CLOSING <br /> If other items are required because of unexpected field conditions or because of a request for additional <br /> services, they would be invoiced in accordance with our current Fee Schedule. Before modifying or <br /> expanding the extent of our exploration program, you would be informed of our intentions for both <br /> your review and authorization. <br /> Our "Terms and Conditions of Service," which are included as an attachment to this letter, is an integral <br /> part of our proposal. These conditions represent the current recommendations of the Geoprofessional <br /> Business Association, the Consulting Engineers' Council, and the Geo-Institute of the American Society of <br /> Civil Engineers. <br /> ECS Proposal No:06:21174 <br /> Page 16 <br />
