Hubner Engineering Company, hereinafter called "Engineer", agree as foliows I SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED The Engineer hereby agrees at his ows expen a to perform an inspection B and condition survey of the seawall from the ArtMuseum of South Texas to Holiday Inn - Emerald Beach and prepare an engineering report outlining specific maintenance and repair requirements and estimated costs of this work. 11 SCOPE OF SERVICES The scope of services for this project, for which the Engineer agrees to perform professionals services, is as follows: 1 Stationing along the s awall far location reference of all inspection information. Elevation Reference Datum will be Mean Sea Level and tied to the City bench marks in the seawall vicinity. 2 Soundings along the face of the s awall and along a line 15 feet seaward of the seawall. Intervals of sounding along the face of the wall will be at 40 feet typically. The intervals will be reduced to 10 feet or less In areas where abrupt bottom changes are anticipated or discovered. Underwater inspection of the outside face of the seawall from the mudlone up will be a "Level I - General Inspection" as described III Attachment "A" of this proposal Areas of distress in the steel sheet poling and the cap sections will be located relative to the stations established. At each of the storm drain outfall structures, a more detailed Inspection will be made. Bottom conditions will be checked by probing the bottom to a depth of four feet m The purpose will be to locate any horizon of flan bottom material rounder the soft slit deposit. "Level II" Inspections, as described in Attachment "A", moll be conducted ats ix locations where oresevere o s 5 c lly trated conditions ofdeterioration are found. Voidsbehindthe bulkhead I the vicinity of corrosion penetrations will be probed at these locations to provide estimates of size and extent of material loss. "Level III" Inspections, as described in Attachment "A" will be conducted at the same six locations at which the Level II inspections are made. Excavations will be made to provide access for inspection of the sheet pile fora depth of two feet below the present mudline.
