PROPOSAL FOR GEOTECHNICAL STUDY
SANITARY SEWER AND LIFT STATION
SAM HOUSTON P ARKW A Y Al~""D
STATE IDGHWAY 288
PEARLAND,TEXAS
Dear Mr. Wallick:
We appreciate the opportunity to submit our proposal to conduct a geotechnical study for the referenced
sanitary sewer project. The project consists of approximately 8400 If of sanitary sewers and a lift station
site located in Pearland, Texas. The project alignments were provided in an e-mail transmittal dated
March 20, 2007. We prepared our proposal using the site layout provided and our site reconnaissance on
March 22, 2007.
We understand that pipe sizes will vary generally between 6-in. and lO-in. diameter and invert depths will
vary generally between 6-ft and 34-ft, but typically within the upper 6-ft to 20-ft depths. Tunneling
methods may be used to construct portions of the alignment. The lift station will bear at about 35-ft to
36-ft depth.
Based on field observations, most of the alignment located east of the drainage ditch may be accessed
through Tom Bass Park, with portions of the alignment requiring clearing or offsetting boring locations.
Access to boring locations on the western side of the drainage ditch (located east of State HWY 288)
could not be established. TWEI requests assistance with right-of-entry for the locations west of the
drainage ditch. Buggy-mounted drilling equipment will be required because of access restrictions along
the drainage ditch, rough teITain, and to mitigate multiple mobilizations.
Scope of Services
Our scope of services covered in the geotechnical portion of this proposal will consist of field exploration
(prior to drilling equipment mobilization and after drilling equipment mobilization), laboratory testing,
and the preparation of a geotechnical engineering report.
Field Exploration. We propose to drill eighteen (18) soil borings along the utility alignments to evaluate
the soil and groundwater conditions. TWEI requests that the centerline of the alignment or the boring
locations be marked prior to mobilizing drilling equipment to the site and that site access be provided.
TWEI requests that the actual invert depths, pipe sizes, construction methods, and other pertinent design
data be provide as soon as it is available. The following table presents a breakdown of the proposed soil
borings and depths. A total of 520 f1 of drilling is included.

We will transport representative portions of the recovered samples to our soil mechanics laboratory for
testing. We will backfill the open boreholes, after obtaining water level readings, on the day following
drilling. In addition to the requested boring program, we will install four (4) piezometers along the
alignment for extended groundwater monitoring. Water level readings in piezometers will be taken at one
day and 30 days after initial installation.
Laboratorv Testin!l. We will perform soil mechanics laboratory tests to measure physical and
engineering properties of selected representative soil samples. The testing will generally include
measurement of the shear strength, total unit weight, in situ moisture content, plasticity characteristics of
the soils, and amount of material finer than the No. 200 sieve. All laboratory tests will be perfonned in
general accordance with appropriate ASTM standards. We will keep the samples for 30 days after the
fmal report is issued. We will discard the samples after that time.
Engineering Report. We will prepare an engineering report that will present our findings and provide
you with geoteclmical design recommendations including:
.
General geology of the site,
General geologic faulting in the area, and a recommendation for additional geologic studies
(Phase I and/or Phase II), if required,

Fee
Our fee to provide geoteclmical engineering services is $30,995.00 and will not be exceeded without your
prior authorization. We will invoice our services monthly according to the percentage completed. The
fee assumes that Pate will provide a site map with the alignments clearly marked and that TWEI and Pate
will select the boring locations prior to mobilization of drilling equipment, Pate will provide right-of-
entry, buggy-mounted drilling equipment will be used to access the boring locations, and mobilizing to
the job site one time. If underground obstructions are encountered and consequently stand by time (crew
time and vehicle time), and soil sampling is required, or if additional rig mobilizations are required.

additional fees will be added. The fee does not include environmental screening of the recovered samples
or environmental sampling or testing protocol.
Schedule
We can typically mobilize our field crew within four to five work days after authorization to proceed is
received, the boring locations or centerline have been marked, and the underground utilities have been
cleared. We can complete the field work in about six to seven work days. Laboratory testing will take
about fifteen work days to complete. We will issue our geotechnical report about forty-five work days
after field operations are completed, provided we have all necessary design information. We will work
with you and your design team to provide timely information to permit design to proceed.

PROPOSAL FOR ENVIRO~1\1ENTAL SERVICES
SA<~ITARY SEWER AND LIFT STATION
SAM HOUSTON PARKWAY AND
STATE HIGHWAY 288
PEARLAND, HAURIS COUNTY, TEXAS
Dear Mr. Wallick,
Tal LlI1ay- Wong Engineers, Inc., (TWEl) is pleased to submit the following proposal to
provide environmental services for the above-referenced project.
Backg."ound
The project consists of new sanitary sewers and a !in station site located in Pearland,
Harris County, Texas. The project alignments were provided in an e~mail transmittal dated
March 20, 2007. \V c prepared our proposal using the site layout provided and our site
reconnaissance on March 22,2007.
We understand that pipe sizes \\'ill vary generally between 6-in. and 10-in. diameter and
invert depths will vary generally between 6-ft and 34-ft, but typicaUy within the upper 6-ft to 20-
ftt depths. Tmmeling methods may be \.lsed to construct p0l1ions of the alignment. The lift
station will bear at about 35-ft to 36-ft depth.
Based on field observations and information provided by Pate Engineers, most of the
alignment is located east of the westernmost drainage ditch located in Tom Bass Park and
traverses through Tom Bass Park. The westem portion of the alignment is situated west of the
westernmost drainage ditch, parallels State Highway 288, and crosses State Highway 288 in the
area north of Clear Creek and south of ihe Sam Houston Parkway. TWEI requests assistance
with right-of-entry for the locations west of the drainage ditch.

Objective
The objective of this investigation is to discover, document and r:::port potential environmental
concerns regarding the subject alignment by providing a Phase I ES,A, with an optional Wetlands
and Water Bodies Determination.
Scope of Work
Task 1 - Phase I Environmental Site Assessment. TWEI will provide the necessary personnel
and equipment to successfully conduct a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment according to
the ASTM 1527-05 standard and other applicable guidelines:
1. A historical review of prior owners of the alignment and surrounding properties. A
review of records available from past and current landO\vners and interviews with
pertinent individuals,
2. A historical review of land use, including review of city directories, fire insurance
maps, historical aerial photographs, soil conservation maps, or other available
historical data to determine if their land usage or business practices could have
contributed to a negative environmental impact along thl;: alignment.
3. Contact Federal, State and Local regLllatory agencies to identify records that could
indicate negative environmental impact along the alignment. Agencies that may be
contacted include the Texas Railroad Commission, EPA, TCEQ, local fire
dcpartrnent(s), and Harris COlmty Pollution Control Division.
4. Conduct interviews with owners or oCCllpants adjacent to the alignment including
commercial businesses that typically use hazardous chemicals or petroleum
substances, selected or representative commercial establishments that do not typically
use hazardous chemicals or petrolelLm substances, facJities identified in regulatory
records, and industrial facilities.
5. Site reconnaissance to evaluate topography and visibly observe conditions along the
alignment and surrounding properties that may suggest recognized environmental
conditions (REes); drums with unlmown contents, underground storage tanks, waste
dump areas, stained areas, stressed vegetation, etc.
6. Upon completion of information gathering and review of other applicable data, TWEI
will prepare a report stating the findings of the Phase I ESA. Included in the report

will be conclusions and recommendations as to the evidence of the potential for
recognized environmental conditions along the alig;rrrnent at the time of the
investigation.
The Phase I ESA will not include sampling for potential asbestos containing building
materials (ACBM), lead-based paint, soils, groundwater, chain-of-title searches, or a Phase I
Fault Study.
Task 2 - Wetlands and Water Bodies Determination (Optional). TWEI will conduct a
wetlands and water bodies determination (preliminary JUllsdictional Determination) to defme the
locations of wetlands and water bodies within and adjacent to the alignment. A site
reconnaissance will be performed to identify plant species, soil types, and hydrology that may
indicate the presence of wetlands. We will conduct shovel tests to identify hydric soil indicators
and evidence of soil saturation, and will document plant species: soil data, and hydrology on
wetland data sheets. During this phase, we will provide a map of sllspected wetlands areas along
with estimated acreage, as applicable. If water bodies are crossed, we will inspect for indicators
of the ordinary high water mark to estimate this value. We will also query HCFCD, FEMA, and
TSARP data sources. The Wetlands and Water Bodies Deterrnination will be submitted as a
separate report.
Task 3 - Reportin~. Upon completion of information gathering and interpretation of the
applicable data, TWEI will prepare a report(s) stating the findings of the various tasks. The
report will summarize the findings and conclusions of supporting reports that must also be
developed as standalone documents, such as the Wetlands and Water Bodies Detelmination
Report. Included in the report will be conclusions and recommendations as to the evidence of or
the potential for environmental impairment ofthe alignment.
Schedule:
TWEI can begin work on this project within two days following authOlization to proceed.
We can complete the tasks stated in the Scope of Work within 30 to 35 workin2 davs after
receiving a clearance to proceed.
Proposed Project Costs:
TWEI proposes to successfully complete the non-optional tasks for a lump sum price of
$5,500.00. If the optional task is included, the price for the optional task is $2,500.00. The cost
breakdown for each service item is as follows:
