ATTACHMENT "A"
Alliance Geotechnical Group (AGG) is pleased to submit this proposal for geotechnical engineering
services for the project referenced above. We understand that we have been selected for this work
based on our qualifications in accordance with the Professional Services Procurement Act for
providing engineering services for public projects. This proposal includes a description of the project,
the scope of work, and the fee.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project will consist of constructing a new crime scene building with associated parking and drive
ways located at 2500 Brennan Avenue in Fort Worth, Texas. We understand that the proposed crime
scene building will have an approximate plan area of 2,400 sf and will be a lightly loaded structure. It
is further understood that the proposed structure will be supported by shallow foundation systems.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The geotechnical investigation performed for the referenced project will consist of field and
laboratory investigations, engineering analysis, and a report prepared by a Registered Professional
Engineer.
Field Investi�ation
The field investigation will consist of drilling five (5) test borings. Two (2) of the test borings will be
drilled within the vicinity of the proposed building and will be drilled to depths of 25 feet or until 5
feet of hard competent rock is penetrated, whichever is shallower. The other three (3) borings will
be drilled within the proposed pavement areas and will be drilled to depths of S feet below the
existing ground surface.

Proposed Crime Scene Building
Fort Worth, Texas
AGG Proposal No. P25-1003E
Page 2 of 3
Subsurface soil samples will be secured with thin-walled tube and/or split spoon samples depending
on soil type and consistency. Rock encountered in the borings will be evaluated using the Texas
Department of Transportation Penetrometer (TxDOT Cone). All samples will be properly logged,
packaged, sealed, and placed in a core box for transportation to the laboratory.
Alliance Geotechnical Group assumes that the client has the right-of-entry to the property and that
the boring locations will be accessible to our conventional truck mounted drilling equipment during
normal working hours. Should unusual soil conditions be encountered, AGG will provide you with a
recommendation and cost estimate to explore these unusual conditions.
AGG will contact Texas 811 and the City of Fort Worth's Water Department to have them locate
underground utilities. However, these utility locators will not mark underground utilities on private
property. Therefore, AGG will mark the proposed boring locations in the field and contact
maintenance personnel (contact provided by client) so they can clear all private utilities around our
boring locations. AGG is not responsible for damage to underground utility lines that are not
identified prior to drilling.
Laboratory Investi�ation
Laboratory tests will be conducted to classify the soil and to evaluate the volume change potential
and strength of the soil and rock present at the site. Soil classification tests will consist of Atterberg
limits (plasticity index), percent passing #200 sieve, moisture content, and dry unit weight. The
volume change potential of the soils will be evaluated by swell tests. The strength of the soil will be
estimated using hand penetrometer strength testing and unconfined compressive strength tests.
En�ineerin� Analvses
Results of field and laboratory investigations will be presented in an engineering report that is signed
and sealed by a Texas Registered Professional Engineer. The report will include our recommendations
to guide design and construction of the foundations and will include the following:
1. Plan of borings, boring logs, water level observations, and laboratory test results.
2. Shallow foundation recommendations for the proposed new structure.
3. Comments on the presence and effect of expansive soils on slab-on-grade construction will
be provided. Alternative methods of reducing any anticipated shrink/swell movements
associated with expansive clays will be included if applicable.
4. Pavement subgrade preparation and concrete pavement thickness recommendations.
5. Recommendations for site grading and compaction of earthwork will be presented.
