Common use of Outfall Clause in Contracts

Outfall. (Optional) We understand a 48-inch diameter outfall with a depth less that 10-ft be constructed at Fulshear Creek Tributary #2. According to the client, the construction of this outfall may be considered additional service; therefore, it is considered optional. This proposal is divided into three sections. Each section will be discussed and estimated separately. These sections are as follows: o Desktop Geologic Fault Study. o Geotechnical Exploration Study for the pavement and drainage improvements. o Geotechnical Exploration Study for the Outfall (Optional). The scope of our work will be in general accordance with Fort Bend County Geotechnical Guidelines Draft, May 2021. We understand that the scope of our work will not include review of plans and specifications prior to the final design. The project site is located in Fort Bend County, Texas. Geologic faults are scattered throughout Houston. In general, faults are caused by groundwater and oil removal from the underlying surface. Faults originate several thousand feet below the ground surface and can often cause displacement of the ground surface, causing broken pavement, water lines, and damage to residential and commercial structures. A Desktop Geologic Fault Study will be conducted. A desktop fault study will include a study of published data on surface faults in the area of the site from the Geotech Engineering and Testing Library. A report of our findings will be provided.
