Re: Proposal for Geotechnical Engineering Services
Town Ditch Trail Pedestrian Bridge
Pearland,Texas
Dear Mr. Bradford:
On the basis of the documents received by our office from you via electronic-mail attachment on Monday,
June 11, 2018, Raba Kistner Consultants, Inc. (RKCI) is pleased to submit this proposal to provide
Geotechnical Engineering Services to ARKK Engineers, Inc. (CLIENT)for the above-referenced project. The
broad objectives of our study will be to determine subsurface conditions at the subject site and to provide
design and construction recommendations for the proposed pedestrian bridge. Described in this
contract are:
• our understanding of currently perceived project characteristics;
• our proposed scope for field and laboratory study;
• our proposed scope for engineering evaluation and reporting;
• our tentative project schedule;and
• our project lump sum fee.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
We understand that the proposed project consists of the design and construction of a pre-manufactured
truss style pedestrian bridge across Town Ditch, between SH 35 and Old Alvin Road in Pearland, Brazoria
County,Texas(Key Map 615 J).
The proposed pedestrian bridge is expected to create relatively moderate loads to be carried by the
foundation system, which is anticipated to consist of a deep foundation such as straight sided drilled
shafts.
FIELD STUDY
On the basis of the boring locations and depths provided by the CLIENT, we propose to conduct two (2)
80-ft deep borings, one boring at each end of the proposed pedestrian bridge.
RKCI will perform the necessary One-Call notifications prior to beginning the field drilling activities. The
borings will be located in the field using recreational grade GPS and/or by pacing distances from known
landmarks or reference points. Our scope of services and cost do not include surveying of the boring

Proposal No. PHA18-078-00 2
June 12,2018
locations. However, RKCI recommends that the final boring locations be surveyed in the field by the
CLIENT or their representative.
Samples will be taken using conventional split-spoon and/or Shelby tube sampling techniques in general
accordance with applicable American Society for Testing and Materials(ASTM) standards.Soil samples will
be collected at continuous 2-ft intervals to a depth of 10-ft and at 5-ft intervals after that. Representative
portions of the samples will be sealed, identified, packaged, and transported to our laboratory for
subsequent testing and classification.
Immediately following completion of drilling activities, water level readings, if applicable, will be recorded
for the open boreholes and the boreholes will be backfilled using the auger cuttings generated during the
drilling operations.
LABORATORY STUDY
Upon completion of the subsurface exploration,a general testing program will be designed to define the
moisture condition, classification, strength, and shrink/swell characteristics of the subsurface soil
samples. The laboratory testing program is anticipated to include moisture content determinations,
Atterberg Limits, percent passing No. 200 sieve, grain size analyses, unit dry weights, and shear strength
tests (unconfined compression and unconsolidated-undrained triaxial compression). However, the
actual type and number of laboratory tests will be based on the subsurface conditions encountered in
the borings. The laboratory testing will be performed in general accordance with applicable ASTM
standards and samples will be kept for 90 days upon submittal of the final report.
ENGINEERING ANALYSIS AND REPORT
The field and laboratory phases of the study will be reviewed by our staff of engineers and geologists.
The results of our review, together with the supporting field and laboratory data, will be presented in a
written engineering report. Included therein will be recommendations concerning the design and
construction of the foundation system for the proposed pedestrian bridge.
The Geotechnical Engineering Report may include the following information and recommendations, if
applicable:
• A summary of the field and laboratory sampling and testing program;
• Boring logs and laboratory testing results;
• A review of the general site conditions including a description of the site, the
subsurface stratigraphy, groundwater conditions, and the presence and
condition of fill materials, if encountered.
- allowable axial compressive capacities for drilled shafts;
- drilled shaft lateral response for bending moment and
shear for shaft head deflections of ",Y2",%"and 1";
- settlement estimations; and,
- groundwater considerations.
• Foundation construction considerations, including:
RABAKISTNER
Proposal No. PHA18-078-00 3
June 12,2018
— site drainage;
— site preparation;
— deep foundation excavations;
— drilled shaft installation guidelines,
— potential reuse of on-site materials;
— excavation considerations;and
— fill placement and compaction.
Our scope of work does not include a geologic fault study nor does it include conducting test pits at the
site. Since site grading plans can result in changes in the foundation conditions, final site grading plans
will be helpful information in the preparation of engineering recommendations. In the absence of final
site grading information, we will prepare recommendations based on the existing ground surface
elevations.
The final report will be reproduced electronically with printed and bound copies available at additional
cost.
TENTATIVE PROJECT SCHEDULE
Based on our present workload and weather permitting, it is anticipated that the field exploration phase of
this study can begin within five working days of receiving written authorization to proceed, provided that
the site is accessible to buggy-mounted drill rigs and the CLIENT has supplied us with all available
information regarding existing utilities and below-grade structures on site (if any). The field exploration
and laboratory testing phases of the study are expected to take approximately seven working days to
complete. The engineering report will be submitted within an additional five working days following
completion of the laboratory testing. The above schedule does not account for delays due to inclement
weather. We will be pleased to provide the design team with verbal design information as the data
becomes available.
LUMP SUM COST
The total lump sum cost for the study outlined herein is$6,200.00. Should unusual subsurface conditions
be encountered in the field indicating the desirability of significantly broadening the scope of the study,we
will contact you to receive written authorization before proceeding with any additional work. Additional
services will be billed on a unit basis in accordance with our standard fees as indicated on the attached
Schedule of Fees for Professional Services.
RKCI has been provided with a layout of the project site by the CLIENT illustrating the location of the
proposed pedestrian bridge and the proposed boring locations and depths. It is our understanding that
access to the boring locations for a conventional, buggy-mounted drilling rig and underground utility
clearance will be provided by the CLIENT prior to our field exploration services.
Historically, the cost of our field services is about 45 percent of our total fee. These services are
predominantly provided by subcontractors. In order to promptly pay our subcontractors and continue to
RABAKISTNER
Proposal No. PHA18-078-00 4
June 12,2018
be able to respond to your needs, we will send you an interim invoice for 45 percent as soon as the field
exploration phase of our study is complete.
It should be noted that our study scope (and project cost) do not include plan review or earthwork and
foundation excavation observations during the construction of the project. However, plan review and
construction observation costs should be included in the project budget.
It should also be noted that our study scope (and project cost) do not include professional time or travel
expenses for participation in design team meetings. If these services are required,they will be billed at
our standard billing rates for professional time plus expenses.
ACCEPTANCE
We appreciate the opportunity of submitting this proposal and look forward to working with you in the
development of this project, which will be carried out accordance with this letter and the following
