The additional services include Level A SUE utility location along Meacham Boulevard to determine exact locations of existing utilities that may conflict with proposed storm drain improvements. The scope of work includes approximately 14 borings to locate existing gas, electric, water, telephone and fiber optic utilities. The total for the proposed services is $16,170 including administration fees. This brings the total contract amount to $255,045. Please find attached proposal for additional services. Please contact me directly at 817-735-7460 if you require additional information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Scott Berman, Project Manager [FTW07397]TAContract\Contract amend#2 Cover L.etter.docx r r Gorrondona & Inc. October 5,2009 REVISED November 16,2009 I Scott Berman,P._.. Freese and Nichols,Inc. 4055 International Plaza Suite 200 Fort Worth,Texas 76109 RE: Meacham Boulevard Test Holes Dear Mr. Berman: Gorrondona and Associates,Inc. (G&AI)is pleased to submit a cost proposal for Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) required for the above referenced project. This proposal is based on information contained in your email to Truett Wilson dated October 1,2009. Introduction G&AI will perform the SUE work required for this project in general accordance with the recommended practices and procedures described in ASCE Publication CIlASCE 38-02 (Standard Guidelines for the Collection and Depiction of Existing Subsurface Utility Data). As described in the publication, four levels have been established to describe the quality of utility location apd attribute information used on plans. The four quality levels are as follows: • Quality Level D (QL"D")—Information derived from existing utility records; • Quality Level C (QL"C') - QL"D" information supplemented with information obtained by surveying visible above-ground utility features such as valves, hydrants, meters,manhole covers,etc. • Quality Level B (QU B")—Two-dimensional (x,y) information obtained through the application and interpretation of non-destructive surface geophysical methods. Also known as "designating" this quality level provides the horizontal position of subsurface utilities within approximately one foot. • Quality Level A (QL"A') — Three dimensional (x,y,z) utility information obtained utilizing non-destructive vacuum excavation equipment to expose utilities at critical points which are then tied down by surveying. Also known as `locating", this quality level provides precise horizontal and vertical positioning of utilities within approximately 0.05 feet. It is the responsibility of the SUE provider to perform due-diligence with regard to records research (QL "D'I and acquisition of available utility records. The due-diligence provided for this project will consist of visually inspecting the work area for evidence of utilities and reviewing the available utility record information. Utilities that are not identified through 6707 Brentwood Stair Road•Suite 50•Fort Worth,Texas 76112-817.496.1424•Fax 817.496.1768-www.ga-inc net these efforts will be here forth referred to as "unknown" utilities. G&AI personnel will scan the defined work area using electronic prospecting equipment to search for "unknown" utilities. However, G&AI is not responsible for designating and locating these "unknown" utilities. Scone of Work Based on information provided by Freese and Nichols, Inc. (F&N), G&AI has developed a preliminary scope for the SUE work required for this project. The scope of work may be modified, with F&N's concurrence, during the performance of the SUE fieldwork if warranted by actual field findings. The scope of this proposal includes Quality Level "A" test holes on utilities located along Meacham Boulevard. Five test holes will be excavated on a 30-inch diameter water line running along the south side of Meacham Boulevard. The purpose of the test holes is to locate the low point in the water line where it crosses under the existing stone drain culverts. A sixth test hole will be excavated on a 16-inch diameter gas line that is also located on the south side of Meacham Boulevard. The test hole locations are depicted in an exhibit provided by F&N. The test holes for this project will be surveyed by G&AI personnel utilizing survey control provided by F&N. Locating Procedures G&AI will utilize its utility designating marks and the proposed utility alignments to layout the test hole locations. GAI will establish routine/ordinary traffic control (signs, cones) wheneN er required as part of our standard pricing. If non-routine traffic control measures are required (flagman, arrowboard. barricades, etc.), these services will be considered extra and will be invoiced at our cost. G&AI will attempt to place the test holes outside of paved areas wherever possible. G&AI will utilize non-destructive vacuum excavation equipment to excavate test holes at the required locations. Once each utility is located. GAI will record the utility type, size, material, depth to top, and general direction. Each test hole will be assigned a unique ID number and will be marked with rebar/cap, nail disk, or chiseled X, as appropriate. The test hole 1D number and other pertinent utility information will be placed at each test hole location. The excavations will be backfilled with appropriate material and the original surface will be restored. The backfill will be compacted in lifts by mechanical means to prevent future settlement. Deliverables G&AI will prepare a test holes summary sheet along with the horizontal and vertical survey data. Schedule Field work can CDmmence within approximately five (5) days after receipt of Notice To Proceed (NTP) from F&N. G&AI estimates that the test holes can be completed in four (4) days. Test hole summary sheet along with the survey data can be prepared and delivered within five(5) days after completion of the field work. Estimated Fees G&AI proposes to perform the work as described herein, on a Unit Rate basis as follows: Test Holes: 0—5 feet= $ 850.00 (assume 5 test hole) 5— 8 feet= $1,050.00 (assume 4 test holes) 8— 12 feet = $1,250.00 (assume 5 test holes) The estimated cost to complete the 14 requested test holes at the depths indicated on the provided profile sheet is fourteen thousand, seven hundred & 00/100 dollars ($14,700.00). We look forward to working with you on this project. If you have any questions or require additional inform4tion, please contact me at(817) 496-1424. Sincerely, Gorrondona&Associates, Inc.
