DocuSign Envelope ID:90883988-076D-486D-B746-055E86E2D681 Proposal for CMT and Special Inspections Services Proposal Number:T19-0043 Detention Center, EAC and POB (Northern Campus Expansion) September 18, 2019 Hillsborough, North Carolina Overall, we understand that construction will primarily consist of: utility installation and re-location, earthwork grading,temporary storm basins and SCM construction,typical shallow foundations, reinforced cast-in-place concrete, structural masonry, structural steel framing, site paving and site work and hardscapes. We understand the contractor has received/or will receive NTP in September 2019 and construction will continue through to substantial completion in March 2021. We anticipate being onsite on a continuous to periodic basis during construction, as dictated by the project plans and specifications and Statement of Special Inspections,to perform the required observation and testing services. If any of our scheduling assumptions need to be altered, we will adjust accordingly based on a Time and Materials basis. SCOPE OF SERVICES Our scope of services is described below and provides the basis of our fee estimate. It should be noted our services will exclude: (1) supervision, direction, or acceptance of the contractor's work; (2) interpretation or modification of the project plans or specifications; (3)submittal of test results or reports to any regulatory agency (unless specifically requested by client in writing); or (4) job site safety. The following tasks outline our proposed scope of services for this project. Pre-Construction Meeting and Review of Project Documents Summit's Project Manager and supporting team members will attend a pre-construction meeting alongside the owner's representative, general contractor, and design team members to review requirements for the project prior to beginning construction activities. We have reviewed the project plans from a geotechnical perspective for conformance with recommendations provided in the final geotechnical report for the project. Geotechnical &Soils Observation and Testing Services Summit will provide a Special Inspections Agent or senior engineering technician working under the supervision of a registered engineer to observe proofrolls,subgrade preparation,footing installation,and to perform compaction testing services during onsite grading activities. We anticipate that the following observations and testing will be required during earthwork and associated construction for the following: • Site work and grading; • Utility trench backfill in structural areas; • Proofrolling operations; • Foundation observations and testing; • Subgrade preparation and compaction for grade slabs; and • Compaction testing of backfill material. Compaction testing following grading will be performed in general accordance with the project's geotechnical report and project documents. We anticipate we will be required to perform field density testing using American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) procedures. Our personnel will sample on-site and imported materials used as fill and transport these samples to our laboratory for testing.
