TSITGEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING&CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL&TESTING& INSPECTION
A
PROJECT SCOPE
The project consists of the construction of a one-story addition to an existing building
which is believed to have been constructed with a drilled pier and slab-on-void foundation.
The structure will consist of a steel-framed building. The total building pad area is
approximately 1,700 sf. The building addition anticipates a drilled pier and structural slab
over carton void forms. Alternate recommendations for slab on grade construction is also
requested. (Concentrated column loads of 10 kips to 150 kips). The structure will be
located at 4932 Wilbarger Street Fort Worth, Texas. TSIT will need all boring locations
cleared for access on the day of drilling. A site plan has been provided with an
architectural layout plan shown for the building and proposed paving area. A geotechnical
investigation is required to aid the planning, design and construction teams for this project
site. A seismic site class of the soils has also been requested.
1 GEOTECHNICAL SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATIONS
1.1 Proposed Drilling and Sampling
In accordance with ASCE guidelines, TSIT proposes investigating the site by drilling a
total of two (2) building test borings and one (1)pavement boring as follows:
• Pad areas: two (2) soil borings to a minimum depth of 35 feet, assumed
limestone foundation depth to be 25 feet. There will be an additional charge of
$14.50 per lineal foot for boring depths below 35 feet. If the limestone strata is
encountered between 25 and 35, the borings will need to be extended to
provide 107f of boring below the top of limestone. If no rock is encountered by
35'the boring will be terminated.
• Pavement Area: One (1) boring to a depth of 5 feet.
Cohesive soils will be sampled with thin-walled tube samplers. Standard penetration tests
will be performed on very sandy or cohesionless soils. The sampling intervals will be at
each change in material or a maximum of 5 feet.
Any unweathered bedrock encountered will be evaluated by means of the Texas Highway
Department's Cone Penetrometer Test. All samples will be extruded in the field and
packaged to protect them from disturbance and preserve their in-situ moisture.
1.2 Utilities
TSIT assumes that you have the right of entry to the property and that the boring locations
are accessible to drilling equipment during normal working days. Items to be provided by
the client include the right of entry to conduct the exploration and an awareness and/or
location of any private subsurface utilities existing on the property. Client shall provide
documents i.e. surveys.
TSIT will request DIGTESS to clear public utilities (electric, water lines, sewer lines, fiber
glass, cable etc.) prior to our firm performing drilling services. This service may take 3
days or longer to have DIGTESS locaters clear the site.

TSIT will request DIGTESS to clear public utilities (electric, water lines, sewer lines, fiber
glass, cable etc.) prior to our firm performing drilling services. This service may take 3
days or longer to have DIGTESS locaters clear the site.
1.3 Laboratory Testing
Laboratory tests will be performed on representative samples to establish the pertinent
engineering properties of the various strata. We anticipate these tests will primarily
consist of moisture content and dry density determinations, Atterberg Limits, unconfined
compression tests and absorption swell tests. Laboratory testing of rock core will consist
primarily of unconfined compression testing.
1.4 Engineering Report
The results of all field and laboratory studies will be compiled into an engineering report
with our comments and recommendations on various appropriate design parameters and
construction procedures. Electronic PDF reports with original seals will be furnished. The
report will include the following:
1. Logs of borings, laboratory test results, and groundwater observations.
2. Recommended foundation types, depths and design parameters (e.g. bearing
capacities, skin friction values etc.)with alternatives if appropriate.
3. Recommendations for support of a structural slab over carton void forms and slab
on grade will be provided. Also, shallow foundation design parameters for
landscape elements and/or site walls will be provided.These will include estimated
post construction movements and methods to reduce these movements. Our
recommendations will only provide improvement to 1" or less of PVR as per the
standard TxDOT calculations utilized as the industry standard.
4. The presence of groundwater and its effect on foundation installation.
5. Pavement recommendations for the support of light and heavy duty vehicles. This
will include pavement thickness, compressive strength, and subgrade preparation.
6. Discussions and recommendations regarding site grading and drainage.These will
include the use of on-site materials as fill, fill placement and compaction, and
recommended requirements for off-site borrow.
TSIT will, of course, remain available throughout the project to consult on geotechnical
matters with you and other members of the design team.
1.5 Time Estimate
It is estimated that the project will require 10 to 15 working days to complete all field and
laboratory work and prepare the final report with our analyses and recommendations after
the samples are delivered to the laboratory. Normally there is a 3 to 7 day delay to allow
3
T. SMITH INSPECTION AND TESTING, LLC
TSITGEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING&CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL&TESTING&INSPECTION
Ad
for locate processing and typical driller backlog before we would obtain the samples. If
the weather condition is wet and muddy, the drillers anticipate a 1-2 week delay.
The estimated cost is based on TSIT staking the borings based on a site plan provided
with your authorization. The boring program is based on the assumption that soil
conditions will be relatively uniform across the site. Should unusual soil conditions be
encountered, we will call you with a recommendation and cost estimate to explore these
unusual conditions.
2 ESTIMATED BUDGET
The cost of performing the complete geotechnical subsurface Investigations
(Drilling, Sampling & Field Testing; Laboratory Testing; and Engineering Analysis
& Report) Is $ 3,200.00. The RFP requires estimation of depth to provide 10' of
boring below bottom of an assumed foundation member by TSIT calculations. If
L.S./shale is not encountered at 25' depth, an additional $14.50 111near foot will be
added for boring costs which shall not exceed$280. The total estimated budget for
initial services is not to exceed$3,480. Unit fees from the CFW CIP contract were
used in preparation for this proposal.
Our terms are net 30 days from the date of the invoice.
Any additional costs beyond this figure will be subject to approval by the client. This cost
is a budget figure and will not be exceeded, for the described scope of work,without prior
approval.
3 SOIL TEST BORINGS
All soil borings will be located within the proposed building footprints and may be staked
by TSIT at the client's request, per site layout upon receiving a site plan.
CLOSURE
If you approve of this proposal, please execute and return one copy to us as authorization
for our services and/or provide your contract as authorization. Please also have a copy
of the full site plan forwarded to our office. We appreciate this opportunity to provide our
services.

preparation recommendations for pavements.
We suggest that a minimum of two (2) borings be made at the locations indicated on the enclosed site
plan and at least one (1) (B-1) of the borings be into the primary bearing stratum at least 10 feet below
the bottom of the deepest anticipated foundation. The geotechnical engineer should estimate the depth
of the foundations, based on the loads listed above and his knowledge of site conditions, and determine
the required depths of borings before proceeding.
However, the final total quantity, depth and exact location of the borings shall be determined by the
geotechnical engineer based on his experience in the area and geological findings at the site. If, in the
opinion of the geotechnical engineer, additional borings or tests are required to properly evaluate and
analyze the subsurface conditions, the geotechnical engineer shall propose that such additional borings
and/or testing be provided.
Professional Liability Insurance
The geotechnical engineer should maintain an errors and omissions insurance policy, with an aggregate
limit of at least $1,000,000.00 per year and should submit a certificate of insurance for your file before
commencing with the work.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
