PSI Proposal No.: 0337-161336
Dear Mr. Clements;
Professional Service Industries, Inc. (PSI) is pleased to have been selected on the basis of qualifications in
accordance with the Professional Services Procurement Act, Article 2254.004 of the Texas Government
Code to provide Construction Materials Testing and Observation Services on the project referenced above.
In accordance with that act, we are now submitting our proposed estimate and fee schedule as the second
step of the negotiation phase of the contracting process.
PSI has the technical capabilities, personnel and equipment resources, and local expertise to provide you
with superior testing and observation services. We are consistently ranked by Engineering News Record
magazine as one of the nation's largest consulting engineering firms and PSI is considered the leading
firm of our type in the engineering and construction industry. PSI has licensed, registered, and certified
professionals, and offers the comfort of using one of America's largest and respected engineering
companies.
PSI proposes to provide experienced, technical personnel to perform testing services as requested in general
accordance with sections of the project specifications as referenced in our"Proposal Assumptions and Basis
for Estimate" section of this proposal. In accordance with our assumptions, we have prepared a budget
estimate. However, we propose to accomplish the work on a unit fee basis in accordance with the unit rates
provided herein. All work will be performed pursuant to the professional service agreement which will be
executed between PSI and the City of Fort Worth. PSI's fees will be determined by the actual amount of
technical time expended on the project and the amount of laboratory testing performed. Services are for the
typical Quality Control Services and do not include"Special Inspections". Special Inspection Services may
be provided for the owner or the owner's representative. However, the Building Code specifically excludes
the performance of Special Inspections as an agent for the contractor.
Please note that the fees for our services are directly related to the contractor's schedule, the quantity of
service requests, the quantity and frequency of failed tests / retests, construction delays and other issues
outside the control of PSI. We will work with your firm in order to control the budget for our services;
however invoices will be based on the actual services rendered.

to our clients. You will have 24 hour access to your reports on this website from any internet enabled
device with a web browser. Construction Hive TM has powerful report viewing, retrieval and searching

11. Rates involving mileage (including vehicle charge and cylinder/sample pick-up) are subject to change
based upon fluctuations in the national average gasoline price. A fuel surcharge may be applied to
invoices to offset the increase in fuel prices for a gallon of regular gasoline. Changes may be made at
intervals not less than monthly
12. An engineering review charge to schedule and supervise personnel and evaluate and review reports
will be billed at 0.5 hours per single technician half day and 1.0 hours per single technician full day for
field testing services. Laboratory test reports will be billed at 0.4 hours for each test report excluding
laboratory moisture density curves, sieve analysis, lime series and drilled concrete cores for
compressive strength which will be billed at 0.9 hours per test report
13. Invoices will be billed on a monthly basis. Invoices will be mailed on or about the third business day
after the month to which services were rendered.
14. Concrete test cylinder sizes will be in accordance with ASTM C31 and AGI 318.
15. ACI 301-10 section 1.6.2.2.d, states that the contractor is responsible for"[providing] space and source
of electrical power on the project site for facilities to be used for initial curing of concrete test specimens
as required by ASTM C31/C31 M, for the sole use of the Owner's quality assurance testing agency." PSI
understands the term"space"to mean "an environmentally controlled and secure space"for initial curing
in the field, and the contractor is required to provide electricity and security of the space. Accordingly,
this proposal does not include provisions or the associated fee for PSI to provide this service. The initial
curing box can be provided by PSI at the project site for additional fees which shall include the daily
rental cost and associated mobilization cost of the curing box. In the event the curing box is stolen or
damaged as the site security is the responsibility of the contractor, PSI shall invoice our client the cost of
the same at cost plus 15%
16. The services proposed herein are conventional in nature and do not include any special services that
may lessen the risk of conditions that can contribute to moisture, mold or other microbial contaminate
amplification in buildings. You may be aware that mold is abundant throughout nature and is
comprised of a wide variety of microscopic fungi. Due to its nature, the potential for mold infestations
cannot be completely eliminated. However, PSI offers a wide array of professional Moisture,
Waterproofing, Roofing and Indoor Air Quality/Mold Consulting services that can help minimize the
likelihood of future occurrences. PSI is interested in discussing these service options with you to suit
your specific needs and project objectives. If requested, PSI will submit a proposal for these
additional services under a separate cover for your review and authorization
