DocuSign Envelope ID:254EEE07-4235-430E-AB86-8BA7FDCF270B <br /> November ECS Southeast, LLP <br /> • Maximum Column Load = 100 kips <br /> • Maximum Wall Loads= 2 kips per foot <br /> • Maximum Ground Floor Slab Load = 150 pounds per square foot(psf) <br /> The structural engineer should verifythese assumptions and notify ECS if the actual unfactored foundation <br /> design loads exceed or are significantly less than these assumed values. <br /> Design grades have not been provided to us. Based on existing site grades and our experience with similar <br /> projects, we assume that fill depths will be less than 5 feet and cut depths will be less than 5 feet for <br /> general site grading. Cuts of up to 5 feet are anticipated for the proposed stormwater control measure. <br /> Design traffic loading information for the pavements has not been provided to us. Based on our <br /> experience with similar projects,we assume that the proposed private pavements will be subjected to the <br /> average daily traffic, as given in the following table.This table also provides our estimates for 20-year 18- <br /> kip Equivalent Single Axle Loads (ESALS)for the assumed vehicle types and average daily traffic. <br /> Assumed Average Daily Traffic Loading <br /> Days Per Light Duty Pavement Heavy Duty <br /> Vehicle Week Pavement <br /> Passenger Cars 7 100 200 <br /> Pickups,Vans,SUVs 7 100 200 <br /> Dual Axle Trucks(NCDOT) 7 2 4 <br /> Garbage& Recycling Trucks 1 2 4 <br /> HS20,80,000-lb, 18-wheel <br /> Tractor-Trailer Truck with 7 0 2 <br /> tandem axles <br /> 20-year ESALS 11,000 56,000 <br /> The civil engineer, developer, owner, and/or user should verify these assumptions and notify ECS if the <br /> actual pavement design traffic loading conditions exceed or are significantly less than these assumed <br /> values. If the project will include any public pavements (NCDOT or local municipality), we need the <br /> projected average daily traffic, % dual axle trucks, and % tractor trailer trucks in order to provide <br /> recommended pavement sections for the public pavements. <br /> PROPOSED SCOPE OF SERVICES <br /> Based on the project information provided to and obtained by us, in addition to our experience with <br /> numerous similar types of projects and nearby sites, we propose the following scope of geotechnical <br /> engineering services for this project: <br /> Task 1—Geotechnical Exploration <br /> Field Exploration <br /> a. Field locate borings by using a hand-held GPS unit or cell phone,referencing existing site features, <br /> and using available drawings. <br /> b. Clear paths through wooded areas using hand equipment to provide drill rig access to the boring <br /> locations. <br /> C. Mobilize a drill rig and crew to the site. <br /> d. Perform soil test borings at the approximate locations shown in Figure 1: <br /> a <br /> ECS Proposal No:06:22345 <br /> Page 1 3 Eg_ <br />
