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 />
