Sam Houston Parkway North, Suite 119 | Houston, Texas 77043 | p. 713.973.8400 | www.ninyoandmoore.com September 3, 2021 Project No. 701236001 Ms. Jennifer Lee City of Pearland 3519 Liberty Drive, Suite 300 Pearland, Texas 77581 Subject: Construction Materials Testing and Observation Services West Lea Subdivision Drainage Improvements for City of Pearland Manvel Road and West Lea Lane Pearland, Texas Dear Ms. Lee: We are pleased to present this proposal to provide materials testing services at the subject site. In preparation of this proposal, we have reviewed the provided plans and specifications. The project will consist of the construction of drainage improvements for the existing West Lea Subdivision. This proposal was prepared without the benefit of a construction schedule and is based on our assumptions as to the needed materials testing. Based on conversation with you, we are estimating 4 to 6 drive repairs per day. We have also assumed that some of the asphalt repairs will be performed concurrently during installation of underground utilities, therefore, we will already be on site for testing. Ninyo & Moore’s Houston laboratory is supervised by registered civil engineers and meets the requirements of the ASTM E329, ASTM C1077, and ASTM D3740. Ninyo & Moore’s testing equipment is calibrated annually by representatives utilizing equipment traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and regularly participates in Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL) and AASHTO’s Material Reference Laboratory (AMRL) reference testing. In addition, we are accredited by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA). A list of our scope of accreditation can be found at the A2LA website (www.a2la.org). SCOPE OF SERVICES x Perform field observation and in-place density testing during utility trench backfill and asphaltic pavement section construction operations. x Perform field observation and testing of concrete for driveways and slope paving. Ninyo & Moore | West Lea Subdivision Drainage Improvements, Pearland, Texas | 701236001 | September 3, 2021 2 x Perform laboratory testing of soil materials such as Moisture-Density Relationships (Proctor), Atterberg Limits (PI), 200 Wash, and Asphalt pavement. Maximum density of asphaltic pavement will be determined by Hveem test method. x Perform laboratory testing to evaluate the compressive strength of concrete cylinders and cement stabilized sand samples. x Consultation and project management. ESTIMATED FEE We propose to provide our services on a time-and-materials basis accrued in accordance with the attached cost estimate. We estimate the fee for our services to be approximately $99,380 (Ninety-Nine Thousand Three Hundred Eighty Dollars). Our estimated fee does not include overtime, stand-by time or costs associated with retesting or re-inspecting materials that were found not to be in compliance with the project plans or specifications. Any additional services requested and not part of the cost estimate will be charged in accordance with our attached Schedule of Fees. A breakdown of our fee is presented in the attached Table 1. To authorize our services, please provide an Authorization Agreement. We look forward to working with you.
