Bolton & Menk, Inc. <br />Proposal QTB175606 <br />April 4, 2023 <br />Page 3 <br />Site Access <br />Based on aerial photographs and a site visit, it appears that the site will require an all -terrain vehicle <br />(ATV), core -mounted drill rig. We assume there will be no cause for delays in accessing the exploration <br />locations. We are not including tree clearing, debris or obstruction removal, grading of navigable paths, <br />or snow plowing. <br />Depending on access requirements, ground conditions or potential utility conflicts, our field crew may <br />alter the exploration locations from those proposed to facilitate accessibility. <br />Our drilling activities may also impact the vegetation and may rut the surface to access boring locations. <br />Restoration of vegetation and turf is not part of our scope of services. <br />Staking <br />We will stake prospective subsurface exploration locations, as selected by Braun Intertec in conjunction <br />with Bolton & Menk, Inc., and obtain surface elevations at those locations using GPS technology. For <br />purposes of linking the GPS data to an appropriate reference, we request that you provide CAD files <br />indicating location/elevation references appropriate for this project. <br />Utility Coordination <br />Prior to drilling or excavating, we will contact Gopher State One Call and arrange for notification of the <br />appropriate utility vendors to mark and clear the exploration locations of public underground utilities. <br />You, or your authorized representative, are responsible to notify us before we begin our work of the <br />presence and location of any underground objects or private utilities that are not the responsibility of <br />public agencies. <br />Penetration Test Borings <br />We propose to drill 69 standard penetration test (SPT) borings for the project to nominal depths of 15 to <br />20 feet below existing surface grade. We will perform standard penetration tests at 2 1/2-foot vertical <br />intervals to a depth of about 15 feet, and at 5-foot intervals at greater depths. The figure below shows an <br />illustration of our proposed boring locations, with the orange borings being general site borings and the <br />green borings being roadway borings. <br />BRAUN <br />INTERTEC <br />
