FORENSIC STUDIES
Alliance Geotechnical Group (Alliance) is pleased to submit this proposal for construction materials testing
for the above referenced project. We understand we have been selected based on the Professional
Services Procurement Act.
PROJECT INFORMATION
Based on our review of the project plans, specifications, and geotechnical report, we understand that the
project will consist of the following:
♦ Building
An approximately 28,000 square -foot, single -story, structural CMU masonry building
will be supported on straight -shaft foundation piers and an 8-inch-thick structural
slab.
♦ Paving and Earthwork:
This project will have driveway approaches, fire lanes, parking, and a dumpster and
generator enclosure.
Per the civil drawings, the approaches, fire lanes, and parking will all be supported on
lime -treated material
Approaches and Fire Lanes will have 8-inch paving, while the parking areas will consist
of 6-inch paving.

representative provide us with a 24-hour notice for scheduling purposes. As such, we agree to provide
the appropriate personnel to perform the below construction materials services.
Inspections and Testing for Earthwork
➢ Obtain and perform laboratory moisture/density relations (ASTM D698/D1557/D558, TEX-
113-E, TEX-114-E) and soil classification tests (liquid limit, plastic limit and percent finer than
no. 200 sieve analysis) for each soil type
➢ Perform in -place moisture/density tests at the rate of 1/ 10,000 square feet for paving areas,
1/2,500 square feet for building areas, 1/ 2,500 square feet for lime -treated, 1/75 linear feet
for utilities, 1/100 linear feet for beam and footing areas, with a minimum of 2 tests per lift
per area
Deep Foundation Elements and Footings
➢ AGG shall observe the installation of all deep foundation elements and/or footings and record
all information necessary for AGG to provide a reliable cost reconciliation by linear foot for
each type of deep foundation element and cubic yard of excavation and reinforced concrete
for footings.
■ Information to include elevation of the grade at the time of drilling, and elevation for the
bottom of steel casing, when casing is used.
■ Identification of bearing strata and elevation
■ Whether casing is required
Inspections and Testing for Concrete Construction
➢ Perform reinforcing steel inspection prior to concrete placement (generally the same day
unless scope of pour deemed too large by AGG) for conformance with project plans and
reviewed shop drawings
➢ During concrete pours, for each intended use, AGG shall sample concrete from the first
concrete truck on each day of concrete pouring and a minimum of one truck every 150 cubic
yards thereafter.
➢ Perform testing and inspections during concrete placements, which will include:
■ collect a copy of the batch ticket and verify mix design matches the reviewed submittal
■ collect a sample in accordance with ASTM C172
■ perform slump test in accordance with ASTM C143
■ perform air content test in accordance with ASTM C231 or ASTM C173
■ perform unit weight test in accordance with ASTM C138
■ record concrete temperature in accordance with ASTM C1064
■ fabricate cylinders molded and standard -cured in accordance with ASTM C31; either four
6"x12"or five 4"x8"
■ perform compression testing in accordance with ASTM C39

Inspections and Testing for Masonry Construction
➢ Perform testing for structural masonry work, which will include:
During the first day of masonry work, AGG is to observe mason mixing first batches of
mortar and grout, verifying:
■ Ingredients consistent with reviewed mix submittals
■ Volumetric proportions are consistent with the reviewed mix submittals
■ Containers of known volume are used when batching
Once every 5,000 square feet of structural masonry construction:
■ Inspect horizontal and vertical reinforcing
■ Inspect grout spaces
■ Sample grout and fabricate a set of three (3) grout prisms and test in accordance with
ASTM C1019
■ Perform slump determination
Inspections and Testing for Steel Construction
➢ Verification of welder qualifications
➢ Verify off -site fabrication occurred at AISC certified fabrication shop
➢ Inspection of structural steel members
➢ Inspection of at least 10% of welds that are not Full Penetration welds
➢ Visual inspection of all Full Penetration Welds
➢ Ultrasonic Testing of at least 10% of Full Penetration Welds
➢ Inspection of at least 10% of load -indicator type bolts
➢ Inspection of at least 10% of anchor bolts (non Overhead Adhesive Anchor Bolts)
➢ Inspection of installation of Overhead Adhesive Anchors, if any
➢ Metal Deck inspection, to include type, gauge, finish, weld pattern, and side lap connections
to conform with reviewed deck submittals
COMPENSATION
While testing is dependent on the construction sequence, contractor performance and efficiency, weather
conditions, and the actual testing performed, we suggest an estimated budget of $62,455.00. The
invoicing for this project will use the attached Fee Schedule and the actual quantity of work performed.
The estimated budget will not be exceeded without prior approval. The City of Fort Worth and Alliance
Geotechnical Group may subsequently agree in writing to provide for additional services to be rendered
under this agreement for additional, negotiated compensation. Services provided by Alliance will be
consistent with the engineering standards prevailing at the time and in the area that the work is
performed; no other warranty, express or implied, is intended.
Please indicate your approval of the proposal and the Alliance Geotechnical Group's General Conditions by
signing below acceptance form and returning. Any modifications of the attached language must be accepted
by both parties.
