City of Ramsey — Ramsey Water Treatment Plant <br />AET Proposal No. P-0021454 <br />April 10, 2023 <br />Page 2 of 8 <br />ENGINEERING rEsTiNG <br />AVAILABLE BID INFORMATION <br />Project documents provided to assist us in preparing this proposal included the following: <br />• Project Architectural, Structural, and Civil Plans, dated January 2023 <br />SCOPE OF SERVICES <br />Based on discussions with the city, and our review of the available plans and <br />specifications, our anticipated scope of services is outlined below. <br />Excavation Observations and Soil Testing <br />During excavation for the building and parking lots, a Staff Engineer I from our firm will <br />visit the site on an on -call basis to perform the following services: <br />• Observe the soils in the bottoms of the excavations completed at that time. <br />• Perform shallow hand auger borings in the excavations. <br />• Perform hand cone penetrometer (HCP) probes in the excavations. <br />• Evaluate the suitability of the soils present in the excavations to support the <br />anticipated fill, structural loads and pavements. <br />• Document the elevations at various locations at the bottoms of the excavations. <br />• Document that adequate oversizing of the excavations is provided to support lateral <br />loads from the footings through the fill. <br />During placement of fill in the building excavations, pavement excavations, and utility <br />trench excavations, an experienced Engineering Technician II will visit the site on an on - <br />call basis to test the compaction of the fill. The technician will perform the following <br />services: <br />• In -place field density tests to evaluate the compaction of the fill soils using the nuclear <br />density gauge method. <br />• Standard Proctor tests for each different type of fill encountered at the test locations. <br />• Obtain samples of sand fill and/or aggregate base materials for sieve analysis tests. <br />We estimate 6 trips will be required by the Staff Engineer I to complete the <br />observations. We estimate 12 trips will be required by the Engineering Technician II <br />to perform the compaction testing of the fill soils. <br />
