This proposal includes a brief review of the project information provided to us, the proposed scope of services and schedule, and our estimated fees. PROJECT INFORMATION As we understand it, the project will consist of building a concrete block and structural steel building that will be two-story on the southern side of the building and single-story with a basement on the northern side of the structure. The second story slab will have steel decking and light weight concrete flooring. SOILS Northern Colorado Geotech will provide an engineering technician on a part time basis to perform field density testing of the compacted fill for pad construction, utility trench backfill, sidewalk and pavement subgrade and base course placement. Laboratory testing that will be performed in conjunction with the density testing may include moisture-density relationship (proctor), gradation and Atterberg limits (classification). Additional observations of excavations will be performed prior to forming foundation elements to verify subgrade soils. CONCRETE Northern Colorado Geotech will provide an engineering technician on a part time basis to perform testing of the concrete for the anticipated footings and pads, foundation walls and concrete slabs. Additionally, testing of the exterior exercise yard concrete slab will be provided. The concrete testing will include slump, air content, temperature, unit weight and 5 cylinders that will be field cured for one day and then returned to our laboratory to cure. The concrete cylinders will be tested for compressive strength at 7 days (2 cylinder) and 28 days (2 cylinders). The fifth cylinder will be held in the event that additional testing is required for unforeseen circumstances. We suggest testing the concrete at approximate intervals of 1 test per 50 cubic yards or part thereof. 2002-1801 Proposal for Construction Materials Testing Weld County Law Enforcement Administration Northern Colorado Geotech Proposal No. P02011c Northern Colorado Geotech will also perform various observations for reinforcing rebar prior to the placement of concrete in footings and walls. STRUCTURAL STEEL Inspex ndt, a subcontractor of Northern Colorado Geotech will provide an AWS certified inspector for observation of steel erection,joist and girder connection and deck installation. MASONRY Northern Colorado Geotech will provide masonry construction observation on a part time basis to verify proper placement of rebar, lintels, bond beams and grouting of cells. Additionally, Northern Colorado Geotech will provide masonry, grout and masonry prism testing in general accordance with the specifications called out in Sections 4100 and 4200 of the project specifications. ESTIMATED COST The following cost estimate is based on estimates obtained from job specifications and plans. The total number of tests needed will be influenced by contractor and subcontractor schedules and performance. Therefore, the final number of tests may vary from the estimated values proposed below. Also, we have not included estimates for mortar and/or grout testing due to the uncertainty of requiring testing. Please see our attached Standard Fee Schedule for per unit prices for these tests. Soils • Estimate 150 field densities for pad construction, utility backfill, subgrade and base course @ $18/density $2,700.00 • Estimate 2 standard proctors @ $110/test $220.00 • Estimate 2 excavation observations @ $75/each $ 150.00 Concrete • Estimate 50 concrete tests @ $150/test $7,500.00 • Estimate 10 reinforcing rebar observations @ $75/each $750.00 Structural Steel • Estimate 20 hours @ $65/hour $ 1,300.00 Masonry • Observation estimate 40 hours @ $65/hour $2,600.00 • Mortar cubes estimate 5 sets @ $150/set $750.00 2 Proposal for Construction Materials Testing Weld County Law Enforcement Administration Northern Colorado Geotech Proposal No. P02011c • Grout cylinders estimate 5 sets @ $150/set $750.00 • Mortar Prisms estimate 5 sets @ $350/set $ 1,750.00 Estimated CMT Total $18,470.00 AUTHORIZATION We appreciate the opportunity of submitting this proposal, and are available to discuss the details with you.
