Re: Proposed Work Scope, Budget, and Schedule
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
Texas 35 at Magnolia Street Water Line Replacement
Pearland,Texas
HTS Proposal No.: HRG-3049
Dear Mr. Sparks:
1.0 INTRODUCTION
In response to your request,HTS,Inc. Consultants (HTS) is pleased to submit this proposal
to conduct a phase I environmental site assessment (ESA) for the above referenced site.
The proposed improvements will include the construction of approximately 2,500 1.f. of 16-
inch diameter water line with an invert depth of about 5 feet below the ground surface in
Pearland, Texas (see Key Map 615 Square T). This letter presents HTS' proposed work
scope, budget, and schedule to conduct a phase I ESA for the proposed site.
The scope of work for this phase I ESA has been developed so as to comply with the "due
diligence" requirements of the City of Pearland using City of Houston Department of
Public Works and Engineering (COH-DPWE), ECRE Standard Practice for conducting
phase I ESAs on right-of-way, and the 2005 American Society for Testing and Materials
Standard E 1527-2005 entitled "Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments:
Phase I Environmental Site Assessments Process". If the ESA satisfies "due diligence"
requirements, COH-DPWE should be able to develop the site with full knowledge of the
environmental liabilities pertaining to the proposed site.
2.0 SCOPE OF WORK
HTS proposes that the scope of work for the phase I ESA be as follows:
•Gootechnical Engineering•Materials Testing and Inspection•Environmental Site Assessments•Geosynthetics and Construction QANQC
Serving the Construction, Petroleum and Waste Industries
HR Green,Inc.
May 26,2011
Page 2 of 3
• Examine aerial photographs, City Directories,Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, and other
records available from governmental and private agencies and interview persons from
the private and public sector in order to determine the potential presence of on-site
wastes or other suspect activities on and adjoining right-of-ways.
• Obtain historical data and information from appropriate governmental agencies and
evaluate the data/information in order to assess the potential for on-site flooding and
the site past releases of petroleum products and/or hazardous substances.
• Conduct a preliminary fault screening by examining aerial photographs, reviewing
available fault maps, analyzing topographic maps, and observing the land surface
features at the site and the site vicinity.
• Conduct an on-site reconnaissance for the purpose of identifying the potential presence
of on-site wastes and other potential environmental hazards such as oil/gas wells, oil/gas
pipelines, aboveground storage tanks, underground storage tanks, dry cleaning
facilities, and pole mounted electrical transformers. Photographs will be taken of the
study area in order to document study area conditions.
• Prepare a Phase I ESA report that:
- describe the subject right-of-way,
- characterize the physical setting including topography, flood potential, and soil
types,
- identify potential areas of contamination,
- report the findings and rate potential environmental risks,
- identify recognized environmental conditions in accordance with ASTM Standard
Practice E 1527-2005 and the ECRE Standard Practice(latest edition), and
- include recommendations for a Phase II ESA, as appropriate, to further assess and
delineate contamination in the area of recognized environmental conditions.
• Submit 1 draft copy,3 final copies, and 1 electronic copy of a report of the phase I ESA.
3.0 COST AND SCHEDULE
HTS' proposed lump sum cost to complete the scope of work as defined in Section 2.0 of
this proposal is $3,903.00. We estimate that about 4 weeks will be required to complete the
phase I ESA. A preliminary letter report will be issued after the site reconnaissance is
performed and most of the historical data is reviewed, which typically takes about 2 weeks.
The$3,903.00 lump sum cost is itemized as follows:

Dear Mr. Sparks:
1.0 INTRODUCTION
HTS, Inc. Consultants (HTS) appreciates the opportunity to present this proposal to HR
Green, Inc. to conduct a geotechnical investigation for the referenced project in Pearland,

• Drill and sample a total of 3 geotechnical borings to a depth of 10 feet along the route of
the proposed water line.
• Measure the depth to groundwater during drilling and after the completion of drilling.
• Backfill the borings with soil cuttings after the completion of the groundwater
measurements.
• Perform field tests during drilling and obtain both disturbed and relatively undisturbed
soil samples from the borings with continuous samples being taken from the ground
surface to a depth of 10 feet.
• Prepare boring logs for the borings drilled based upon visual soil classifications and the
results of laboratory tests.
• Complete engineering analyses for the purpose of developing and providing
recommendations for excavation,bedding,and bacld;ll for the water line.
• Complete engineering analyses as necessary to develop recommendations pertaining to
dewatering requirements for excavations, trench shoring and bracing requirements,
OSHA soil type classifications pertinent to trench shoring and bracing design, and
utility excavation/bedding/backfill requirements.
• Submit 5 copies of a report that presents the results of the geotechnical investigation.

Re: SH 35(South Main Street)Waterline Project
Pearland, Brazoria County, Texas
Dear Mr. Golden,
This letter is our proposal to provide surveying and mapping services in connection with the
design of +/- 1,850 L.F. of waterline on the west side of SH 35 (South Main Street) in Pearland,
Brazoria County, Texas. Based on our discussions, the information you furnished and a visit to
the site, The Wilson Survey Group(WSG) proposes the following.
Project Limits: The project will commence approximately 25-feet south of the intersection of
the south line of Magnolia Boulevard and the west line of SH 35. The project will follow along
the westerly side of SH 35 and will terminate approximately 1,850 L.F. south of the
commencing point. The area to be surveyed will be limited to the area between the westerly
right-of-way line of SH 35 and the westerly edge of pavement of the southbound lanes of SH 35.
1. Establish horizontal control based on the Texas Coordinate System of 1983, South
Central Zone, NAD83 (Geoid 09)
2. Establish vertical control based on the current City of Pearland monumentation -
NGVD29, 1987 Adjustment. A minimum of three (3) vertical control points (TBM's) will
be established along the project route.
3. Perform records research to obtain information to be used to re-establish the location of
the existing westerly right-of-way line of SH 35 within the project area.
4. Recover sufficient right-of-way monumentation within the project area to re-establish the
westerly right-of-way line of SH 35.
5. Contact One Call to have the underground routing of private utilities and pipelines
marked within the project area We understand that the City of Pearland will assist by
marking the underground locations of existing waterlines.
6. Horizontally locate all visible improvements within the project area, including. but not
limited to structures, signs, bridges, manholes, inlets, valves, fire hydrants, meters,
pavement, curbs, fences, power poles, culverts, driveways, drainage structures,
landscaped areas, marks placed by One Call and the City of Pearland indicating the
location of utilities, etc.
7. Establish elevations at 100-foot intervals and at all breaks in grade within the project
area. Top of inlets and manholes elevations will be established. Flowline elevations will
be established for all manholes, inlets and culverts.

8. Prepare a 2-D plan map with the surface TIN created showing the results of the
topographic survey using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2011. Two (2) hardcopies and the digital
.DWG files will be provided.
The cost to provide the outlined services will be $7,400 00 including all labor, materials and
expenses. We anticipate the project will take approximately twenty (20) working days to
complete. WSG will work with HR Green and the City of Pearland to establish timelines for
delivery of the final survey.
Invoices will be submitted monthly based on a percentage of completion of the surveying tasks
Payment is expected within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice.
Mr. Golden, I appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal and look forward to working with
you on this project. I understand that a fully executed contract will serve as our written
authorization to proceed. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions.4Y rs truly, l�'�J'S
