A. Ne pAOGFi/Il't January 17, 1968 Mr. Jack McDaniel Director of Public Works P. O. Box 1622 Corpus Christi, Texas 78403 Dear Mr. McDaniel: In accordance with your request we submit this proposal for per- forming engineering services in connection with modifications to the wet well at the Westside Sewage Treatment Plant. The existing wet well has deteriorated, due to attack by sulfuric acid formed from hydrogen sulfide gas, to a point where it is becoming structurally unsound. Remedial measures of some kind will be required. We propose to study the situation and make recommendations and prepare preliminary plans as to the best and most practical solution to the problem, including the possibility of the construction of a new wet well, and then, upon approval of these recommendations and preliminary plans by the City, to prepare the necessary detailed plans and specifica- tions for the proposed work in connection with the wet well. Our services during the Preliminary and Design phases of this work would include the following: A. PRELIMINARY PHASE: 1. Participation in preliminary conferences with representatives of the City regarding the project; 2. Preparation of preliminary engineering studies directly related to, and part of, the design work being considered; 3. Preparation of three copies of preliminary layouts and report together with recommendations; Page 2 Mr. Jack McDaniel January 17, 1968 4. Preparation of preliminary cost estimates of proposed con- struction. B. DESIGN PHASE: _1 Establishing the scope of any soil and foundation investigations, or any investigations of the condition and strength of existing concrete, and tests of same if necessary; and arranging for such work to be done at the expense of the City. 2. Furnishing to the City where applicable the necessary data for applications for routine permits required by local, state and federal authorities. Our presumption here is that this will not include applications for grants -in -aid. 3. Preparation of detailed contract drawings and specifications for construction as authorized by the City. 4. Preparation of detailed cost estimates and bidders proposal forms for authorized construction. 5. Furnishing five copies of plans and twenty -five copies of speci- fications, proposal forms and contract documents. Additional copies to be furnished at cost plus 157o. 6. Assistance to the City, in securing bids. 7. Assistance in the tabulation and analysis of bids and furnishing recommendations on the award of construction. For the above engineering services our fee will be $4, 300. 00, thirty percent, or $1, 290. 00, payable upon completion and submission of the work under the preliminary phase and the remaining $3, 010. 00 payable upon completion and acceptance of work performed under the Design Phase. This proposal does not include any services to be performed under the Construction Phase. Should the City desire at a later date, we will be happy to render a proposal covering the Construction Phase and /or the detailed supervision•of construction. In our preliminary conferences and studies, we will endeavor to fix upon a general scheme which appears to be satisfactory to the City's Page 3 Mr. Jack McDaniel January 17, 1968 liaison representatives, and will prepare the preliminary plans ac- cordingly. In the event the City then desires to make major alterations of the preliminary plan, or wishes us to prepare preliminary plans along more than one general scheme, or to make final plans containing more than one scheme for alternate bidding, we will perform such additional work on a per diem basis, at salary cost times a multiplier Of 2, plus invoice cost plus 15% for other direct expenses. We will secure your approval before proceeding on any such additional work. We trust this proposal meets with your approval. Very truly yours, REAGAN /& MMcCAUGHAN F. A. McCaughan, P. E.
