THIS PROPOSAL IS AN EXTENSION TO THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL P-EE1925811- G DATED 11/22/2019. The scope of our services is presented below: \u2022 Drilling, sampling (3) borings to a depth of 20-feet in the additional detention pond. \u2022 Obtaining continuous soil samples to a depth of 12 feet, and then at five (5) foot intervals thereafter to the borings\u2019 termination depths. \u2022 Earth Engineering will perform granular soil sampling utilizing the Standard Penetration Test (split spoon sampler) by driving. Blow counts will be recorded as produced by a 140-pound weight falling 30 inches (ASTM D-1558). Cohesive soils will be sampled using a thin-walled sampler (Shelby Tube) hydraulically pushed into the soil (ASTM D-1587). \u2022 Performing laboratory tests on selected representative soil samples to develop the engineering properties of the soil. These tests may include pocket penetrometers, unconfined compression, present moisture content, percent passing 200 sieves, dry densities, Atterberg Limits, and swell tests, as deemed appropriate. \u2022 Utilizing the results of observations both in the field and in limited laboratory tests, Earth Engineering will author a report that will include the following subjects:\n1. soil stratigraphy: soil encountered up to 20 feet\n2. groundwater conditions and groundwater control during construction\n3. boring log information will include all laboratory test results and field observations", "hash": "315bac00aad4b44c42472ba266e73f12", "id": 6}, {"size": 2, "samples": [{"hash": "j4qEwqBLOfb", "uri": "/contracts/j4qEwqBLOfb#outfall", "label": "Agreement for Professional Engineering Services", "score": 24.9685147159, "published": true}, {"hash": "iZPv9gcZywy", "uri": "/contracts/iZPv9gcZywy#outfall", "label": "Professional Services", "score": 24.6112251882, "published": true}], "snippet_links": [{"key": "to-the-client", "type": "clause", "offset": [138, 151]}, {"key": "construction-of", "type": "clause", "offset": [157, 172]}, {"key": "additional-service", "type": "definition", "offset": [204, 222]}, {"key": "geotechnical-exploration", "type": "definition", "offset": [430, 454]}, {"key": "drainage-improvements", "type": "definition", "offset": [482, 503]}, {"key": "scope-of", "type": "definition", "offset": [570, 578]}, {"key": "our-work", "type": "clause", "offset": [579, 587]}, {"key": "in-general", "type": "clause", "offset": [596, 606]}, {"key": "geotechnical-guidelines", "type": "definition", "offset": [640, 663]}, {"key": "review-of-plans-and-specifications", "type": "clause", "offset": [739, 773]}, {"key": "final-design", "type": "clause", "offset": [787, 799]}, {"key": "the-project-site", "type": "clause", "offset": [801, 817]}, {"key": "located-in", "type": "definition", "offset": [821, 831]}, {"key": "caused-by", "type": "clause", "offset": [930, 939]}, {"key": "ground-surface", "type": "definition", "offset": [1046, 1060]}, {"key": "water-lines", "type": "definition", "offset": [1142, 1153]}, {"key": "the-area", "type": "clause", "offset": [1340, 1348]}, {"key": "the-site", "type": "clause", "offset": [1352, 1360]}, {"key": "report-of", "type": "clause", "offset": [1413, 1422]}], "snippet": "(Optional) We understand a 48-inch diameter outfall with a depth less that 10-ft be constructed at Fulshear Creek Tributary #2.

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.
