Dear Sir:
We are pleased to submit our proposal for testing laboratory services to
be performed during construction of the above referenced projects.
We propose to furnish testing services for this project in accordance with
the normal ratio of testing established by the Department of Engineering
Services. Total charges for this service will be $7,400.00. This will be
billed at the rate of $1,480.00 per month, with the first billing to be
for services performed up to and including October 31, 1973.
During construction, if job conditions require additional testing above
your normal ratio of tests, our firm will absorb a 5% average at no addi-
tional charge. Any average•above 5% will be charged at our regular fee
for each unit of test.
Attached to this proposal is a resume of our professional employees and
laboratory personnel who will be directing and performing testing services
for this project.
If there are any questions pertaining to this proposal, we would appreciate
the opportunity of discussing it with you.
Respectfully submitted,
TRINITY TESTING LABORATORIES, INC.
Exe Nicks
