November 13, 2024
UES Professional Solutions 44, LLC (UES), formerly Alpha Testing, LLC., is pleased to submit this proposal for
providing Construction Materials Testing (CMT) and related quality control services for the referenced project.
UES has integrated the resources of Alpha Testing, Riner Engineering, Rock Engineering and Testing and In -
Control Technologies to form the largest geotechnical engineering, materials testing, special inspection and
environmental services firm in the North Texas region. Our personnel and equipment resources are unmatched
and we have the experienced staff to perform the necessary CMT services in accordance with the project
requirements. In the Dallas/ Fort Worth area, UES meets the requirements of ASTM E329. We also participate in
Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL) and AASHTO re:source proficiency sampling programs.
For the purpose of this proposal, we have estimated quantities and tests per our experience, with the information
provided. The actual costs for CMT services can decrease or increase with changes in the scope of work and are
heavily dependent on the contractor's work methods, production, and sequencing. This is only an estimate for
budgetary purposes and UES's total fee will be based on the actual amount of time and laboratory testing required
for the project. These services will be performed on a unit price basis in accordance with the attached Schedule of
Services and Fees. UES is willing to re-evaluate our budget once a formal construction schedule is finalized.
UES utilizes a proprietary electronic laboratory data management and report generation system. CMT reports
prepared in Adobe PDF format are emailed to the Client and their designees. Report turnaround time is typically
one day. UES also provides an extranet where CMT reports can be accessed by the Client at any time. CMT
reports are automatically posted to our extranet when they are emailed. Our system is designed to provide high
quality, real-time information.
By execution of this proposal, the undersigned Client acknowledges and agrees that the document entitled "Terms
and Conditions" has been provided or made available to Client and Client agrees that such Terms and Conditions
shall be applied to the present Proposal and shall be fully binding upon Client. The Terms and Conditions are fully
incorporated into this Proposal by reference as if set forth at length.

hours from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM ES shall not be held responsible for tests not performed as a result of a failure to schedule our
services or any subsequent damage caused as a result of a lack of testing.
UES requests that Client arranges for a coordination/scheduling meeting at the onset of each major work task (e.g., Earthwork -
Buildings, Foundations, Concrete - Buildings) to verify testing and inspection scope, schedule, and assumptions.
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 UES will estimate the project based on comparable project production rates and typical industry
standards. UES is willing to re-evaluate our budget once a formal construction schedule is finalized.
All time is for a minimum of four hours or as noted and is charged Portal to Portal from LIES's Fort Worth offices. Overtime rates will be
applicable for services performed in excess of 8 hours per day and on Saturdays and Sundays. Services performed on holidays will be
billed at 2.0 times the regular hourly rate.
Estimate is valid for 90 days from the proposal date shown above.
The contractor shall be responsible for providing a protected storage container for concrete cylinders at a point on the job site mutually
agreeable with UES for the purpose of storing concrete cylinders until they are transported to the Laboratory. The container shall be
constructed and equipped to maintain the environment specified for initial curing in ASTM C31 (section 10.1.2).
Measurement uncertainty is not taken into account by UES when issuing statements of conformity as to whether tested items pass or
fail specified values (ISO 17025-17, 7.1.3).
Project Engineering services on materials engineering and testing, for consultation, analysis, report preparation and review, and
supervision and scheduling of field and laboratory personnel will be charged on a "per report" basis.
UES utilizes a proprietary electronic laboratory data management and report generation system. CM eports prepared in Adobe PDF
format are emailed to the Client and their designees. UES also provides an extranet where CM eports can be accessed by the Client
at any time. CMT reports are automatically posted to our extranet when they are emailed.
