Cost Estimate No: 97460-22-49 #NL PROJECT INFORMATION It is our understanding that a new two story building with concrete paving is to be constructed in Aledo, Texas. We understand that water lines, sanitary sewers, and storm drains will be installed at the proposed development. It is anticipated that a suspended slab on carton forms with straight shaft piers foundation will be utilized to support the given structure. In this cost estimate, we are providing our estimate of the testing anticipated based on our understanding of the project information provided in the contract documents: preliminary civil plans dated: 04/13/2023; preliminary structural plans dated: 04/13/2023; Along with the applicable city standards for the City of Aledo, Texas and the geotechnical report by Alpha Testing dated: 11/3/2021. Addendum 1 dated: 4/19/2023 Note: This cost estimate does not include full time IBC special inspection of structural steel, cold formed steel, fireproofing, exterior insulation finish systems, or masonry. Should these item be required, this cost estimate may be revised upon request. Note: During the time of this cost estimate no construction schedule was available for estimating purposes. The construction schedule is a critical item in determining a precise cost estimate for construction materials testing. In lieu of a defined construction schedule Alpha Testing will estimate the project based comparable project production rates and typical industry standards. We will finalize our proposal once a construction schedule becomes available. SITE PREPARATION. FILLING. BACK FILLING It is estimated that an engineering technician could be required on site for about 27 hours to perform field density tests. In addition, the technician could obtain approximately 3 soil samples for laboratory proctor analysis. UTILITIES We estimate that approximately 373 linear feet of storm drains, 494 linear feet of water lines, and 309 linear feet of sanitary sewers will be placed. We have estimated that our engineering technician will be required on site for approximately 36 hours to perform field density tests. It is estimated that approximately 300 linear feet of utilities lines will be placed per day. In addition the technician could obtain approximately 1 soil sample for laboratory proctor analysis. PIER INSTALLATION MONITORING It is our understanding that approximately 67 piers will be drilled. We estimate that the contractor could complete approximately 10 piers per working day. It is estimated that an engineering technician could be required on site for about 7 working days during the pier drilling operations. CONCRETE TESTING Based on information provided, it is our understanding, approximately 1,410 cubic yards of concrete will be placed. It is estimated that an engineering technician could be required on site for an estimated 112 hours to mold approximately 135 test cylinders. STRUCTURAL STEEL It has been estimated that an engineering technician could be required for approximately 14 hours to visually observe the structural steel placed. Should non-destructive testing on full penetration welds be required, additional hours would be charged. MORTAR. GROUT & MASONRY UNITS It is our understanding that mortar and grout placed on the project would be tested. We have estimated that our engineering technician could be required on site for approximately 18 hours to cast an estimated 8 grout or mortar specimens for compressive strength testing in the laboratory. Cost Estimate No: 97460-22-49 4 #X SCOPE OF SERVICES Note: This proposal excludes testing and inspection of public developments, the scope of testing may change based on the final construction plans, in which case this proposal could be revised upon request. SITE PREPARATION, FILLING, BACK FILLING ALPHA must be provided with an industrv-standard comaaction soecifr'catlon conformina to ASTM, TXDOT AASHTO or USACE reauirements to ,provide field compaction testina. Building Structures: 1 FDT each 2,500 square feet and 6 inch lift Paving: 1 FDT each 5,000 square feet and 6 inch lift Wall Backfill: 1 FDT each 150 linear feet and 6 inch lift All areas supporting slab foundations, flatwork, pavement or areas to receive new fill should be properly proof -rolled, compacted and tested. Note: This cost estimate assumes 2 ft moisture conditioning with 1 ft select fill cap in areas of building structures. Should actual pad preparation differ from this, this cost estimate could be revised upon request. Note: This proposal excludes testing of water intrusion and air barrier, but can be revised upon request. UTILITIES ALPHA must be arovided with an industrv-standard comaaction saecifi'cation conformina to ASTM, TxDOT, AASHTO or USACEreauirements to arovide field comaaction testina. Trench Back -fill: 1 density test for every 300 linear feet each 6 inch lift. Trench backfill for utilities should be properly placed and compacted in accordance with requirements of local City standards Note: Pot Hole testing will not be an acceptable method of testing. PIER INSTALLATION MONITORING 7 days of drilling with 1 technician with 1 drilling Rigs 1 set of 5 test cylinders to be obtained per day While on site, the technician would verify the depth to the bearing stratum, total pier depth*, reinforcing steel placed, as well as mold approximately test cylinders of concrete placed in piers. Should temporary casing be required due to water seepage, drilling operations would be slower and therefore additional testing costs would be applicable. Cost Estimate No: 97460-22-49 #NL CONCRETE TESTING Slab: 1 set of 5 test cylinders every 100 cubic yards. Paving: 1 set of 5 test cylinders every 100 cubic yards. Grade Beams: 1 set of 5 test cylinders every 100 cubic yards. Footings: 1 set of 5 test cylinders every 50 cubic yards. Hardscapes or Sidewalks: 1 set of 5 test cylinders every 40 cubic yards. STRUCTURAL STEEL 1 trip every 5,000 square feet MORTAR, GROUT & MASONRY UNITS Mortar: 1 set of 6 test cubes every 10,000 (wall) square feet. Grout: 1 set of 4 test prisms every 10,000 (wall) square feet. Moisture Density Gauge Direct Transmission Sioshold Gauge Surlaaa � i]eteckors I Cost Estimate No: 97460-22-49 6 #NL ESTIMATED TESTING SCHEDULE The following is our estimate of the number, type and cost of anticipated construction materials testing for the project referenced previously. This estimate of the expected testing was developed based on project plans and information as provided by the client. It should be recognized that variations in construction schedules, weather, amount of re -testing, additional testing requested by our client, etc., could result in differences between the actual and estimated testing costs. Although efforts will be made to maintain the testing costs within the estimated amount, charges will be computed based on actual services rendered. Testing services proposed herein do not include full-time personnel on site nor any form of project supervision. It is our understanding that testing will be scheduled by the client or his designated representative, and ALPHA TESTING, LLC. does not assume the responsibility for assuring all required tests are performed. If desired, ALPHA could monitor testing frequencies and locations during the progress of the work to assure the required testing is performed, at an additional cost. I.
