EXHIBIT B - SCOPE OF SERA/ICES
Our proposed Scope of Services consists of field exploration, laboratory testing, and
engineering/project delivery. These services are described in the following sections.
Field Exploration
Our field exploration work includes the drilling and sampling of exploratory soil borings.
CoFW requested one boring near the proposed loading dock, office building, and shop building:
The following boring schedule is planned based on the site plan provided:
Number of Borings Planned Boring Depth (feet) Planned Location
10 feet penetration into bedrock or 25 Loading dock/Office building/Shop
3 feet max-,whichever occurs first Building
1. Below ground surface.
Boring Layout and Elevations: We will use handheld GPS equipment to locate borings with an
estimated horizontal accuracy of +/-20 feet. Field measurements from existing site features may
be utilized. If available, approximate elevations will be obtained by interpolation from a site
specific, surveyed topographic map.
Subsurface Exploration Procedures: The borings will be sampled using split spoon sampling
devices and thin walled sampling devices. Sample intervals will be as necessary to collect the
required data for design, but in no case greater than 5 feet on center. The load carrying capacity
bedrock (if encountered) will be evaluated in the field using the Texas Department of
Transportation's (TxDOT) Cone Penetration Test.
The field exploration will also include observations for groundwater. This will occur during the
exploration program while the borehole is being advanced. No provisions have been made to
collect water level data other than the observations made during the advancement of the borings.
Our exploration team will prepare field boring logs as part of standard drilling operations including
sampling depths, penetration distances, and other relevant sampling information. Field logs include
visual classifications of materials encountered during drilling, and our interpretation of subsurface
conditions between samples. Final boring logs, prepared from field logs, represent the
Geotechnical Engineer's interpretation, and include modifications based on observations and
laboratory tests.
Property Disturbance: We will backfill borings with auger cuttings upon completion. Pavements
will be patched with ready mixed concrete, as appropriate. Our services do not include repair of

the site beyond backfilling our boreholes and patching existing pavements. Excess auger cuttings
will be dispersed in the general vicinity of the borehole. Because backfill material often settles
below the surface after a period, we recommend boreholes to be periodically checked and
backfilled, if necessary. We can provide this service, or grout the boreholes for additional fees, at
your request.
Safety
Terracon is not aware of environmental concerns at this project site that would create health or
safety hazards associated with our exploration program; thus, our Scope considers standard
OSHA Level D Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) appropriate. Our Scope of Services does
not include environmental site assessment services, but identification of unusual or unnatural
materials encountered while drilling will be noted on our logs and discussed in our report.
Exploration efforts require borings (and possibly excavations) into the subsurface, therefore
Terracon will comply with local regulations to request a utility location service Texas811. We will
consult with the owner/client regarding potential utilities, or other unmarked underground hazards.
Based upon the results of this consultation, we will consider the need for alternative subsurface
exploration methods, as the safety of our field crew is a priority.
Private utilities should be marked by the owner/client prior to commencement of field exploration.
Terracon will not be responsible for damage to private utilities not disclosed to us. If the
owner/client is unable to accurately locate private utilities, Terracon can assist the owner/client
by coordinating or subcontracting with a private utility locating services. Fees associated with the
additional services are included in our current Scope of Services. and will be forwarded to our
client for approval prior to initiating. The detection of underground utilities is dependent upon the
composition and construction of the utility line; some utilities are comprised of non-electrically
conductive materials and may not be readily detected. The use of a private utility locate service
would not relieve the owner of their responsibilities in identifying private underground utilities.
Site Access: Terracon must be granted access to the site by the property owner. By acceptance
of this proposal, without information to the contrary, we consider this as authorization to access
the property for conducting field exploration in accordance with the Scope of Services.
Laboratory Testing
The project engineer will review field data and assign laboratory tests to understand the
engineering properties of various soil and rock strata. Exact types and number of tests cannot be
defined until completion of field work. The anticipated laboratory testing may include the following:
■ Water (Moisture) Content of Soil
■ Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index of Soils
■ Standard Test Method for Particle Size Analysis

September 3, 2019 ■ Terracon Proposal No. P95195141
■ Unconfined Compressive Strength of Cohesive Soils
Material Finer than 75-pm (No. 200) Sieve
Absorption Swell Tests
Our laboratory testing program often includes examination of soil samples by an engineer. Based
on the material's texture and plasticity, we will describe and classify soil samples in accordance
with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).
Engineering and Project Delivery
Results of our field and laboratory programs will be evaluated by a professional engineer. The
engineer will develop a geotechnical site characterization, perform the engineering calculations
necessary to evaluate foundation alternatives, and develop appropriate geotechnical engineering
design criteria for earth-related phases of the project.
Your project will be delivered using our GeoReport®system. Upon initiation, we provide you and
your design team the necessary link and password to access the website (if not previously
registered). Each project includes a calendar to track the schedule, an interactive site map, a
listing of team members, access to the project documents as they are uploaded to the site, and a
collaboration portal. The typical delivery process includes the following:
■ Project Planning — Proposal information, schedule site visit, stake borings, and the
anticipated exploration plan will be posted for review and verification
■ Site Characterization — Findings of the site exploration (Drilling summary and laboratory
testing)
■ Geotechnical Engineering — Recommendations and geotechnical engineering report
When utilized, our collaboration portal documents communication, eliminating the need for long
email threads. This collaborative effort allows prompt evaluation and discussion of options related
to the design and associated benefits and risks of each option. With the ability to inform all parties
as the work progresses, decisions and consensus can be reached faster. In some cases, only
minimal uploads and collaboration will be required, because options for design and construction
are limited or unnecessary. This is typically the case for uncomplicated projects with no anomalies
found at the site.
When services are complete, we upload a printable version of our completed geotechnical
engineering report, including the professional engineer's seal and signature, which documents
our services. Previous submittals, collaboration and the report are maintained in our system. This
allows future reference and integration into subsequent aspects of our services as the project
goes through final design and construction.
The geotechnical engineering report will provide the following:

In addition to the services noted above, the following are often associated with geotechnical
engineering services. Fees for services noted above do not include the following:
Perform Environmental Assessments: Our Scope for this project does not include, either
specifically or by implication, an environmental assessment of the site intended to identify or
quantify potential site contaminants. If the client/owner is concerned about the potential for such
conditions, an environmental site assessment should be conducted. We can provide a proposal
for an environmental assessment, if desired.
