Proposal for Geotechnical Study
Bayfront Development Plan Phase One
City of Corpus Christi Project No. 6279
Introduction
Fugro Consultants LP would like to thank the City of Corpus Christi for selecting us to provide
professional services on the Bayfront Development Plan Phase One project. As part of the cost
negotiation process, we are pleased to submit this proposal to perform a geotechnical study for the
proposed street and infrastructure demolition and realignment and proposed new construction
associated with the project This proposal provides a brief summary of our understanding of the
project and then describes our proposed scope of work, costs and terms, and anticipated schedule
for completing this study
Project Description
We understand that the City of Corpus Christi is planning to realign the northbound traffic lanes of
Shoreline Boulevard between the intersection with 1-37 and the South Texas Institute for the Arts in
order to develop a linear park along the Corpus Christi bayfront. We understand the project is to
Include demolition of a portion of the northbound lanes of Shoreline Boulevard and reconstruction
of those lanes further to the west; adjacent to the existing southbound lanes, slight realignment of
the southbound lanes to the west of their existing location, refurbishment of Resaca Street from
Shoreline Boulevard to Chapparal Street, extension of several lanes of Shoreline Boulevard
northward and westward around the Salena Auditorium to Water Street, and construction of new
structures, landscaping and amenities. Also included in the project will be construction of new and
replacement curb and gutter, new and replacement sidewalks and ADA ramps, and the repair,
replacement and/or new construction of various underground utilities and infrastructure within the
street rig ht-of -way.

Proposal No. 1601-06-005
Scope of Work
Our proposed scope of the geotechnical study for the project will consist of performing pavement
corings and soil borings along the existing roadway slated for removal to evaluate the existing
pavement and subsurface conditions, soil borings within the proposed new route of the roadway,
soil test boring at the locations of proposed significant new structures, laboratory evaluation of the
samples obtained to determine engineering characteristics of the subsurface soils pertinent to new
pavement design and construction utility trench backfill considerations and foundations fro new
structures, and a report prepared by a registered engineer detailing our findings, comments and
recommendations.
Based on the project requirements, information provided about the site, and our experience in the
area, we are proposing the following scopes of work.
1. Field Work
· mobilize the necessary equipment and personnel to the project site to core the existing
roadway at 30 locations and to drill 44 shallow (6 - 10' depth) borings along the existing
roadway and the proposed new roadway and underground utility alignments;
· drill 6 soil borings to a depth of 50 ft each at the locations of the proposed significant
new structures;
· measure thickness of asphalt and base material of existing pavement section at each
core location
· sample continuously to the boring completion depths of the shallow pavement related
borings, and continuously to 10 feet and at 5 foot interval below 10 feet in the deeper
structure related boringS ft and 1S ft;
· measure groundwater levels 10 open boreholes upon completion of drilling and, where
possible after a delay of 12 to 24 hours:
· backfill borings with soil and patch asphalt surface with asphalt "cold patch"; and
· transport collected samples to our laboratory for testing.
2. Lab Work will be comprised of
· soil classification tests including but not limited to: supplemental visual classification,
natural moisture content, % passing #200 sieve, and liquid and plastic limits; and
. strength tests including unconfined compression tests.

Proposal No. 1601-06-005
3. Engineering Analyses to include
· generalized existing pavement sections and shallow subsurface soil conditions at
existing roadway core locations.
· Subsurface soil conditions at proposed significant new structure locations;
· measured depth-to-water;
· recommended flexible pavement section for new asphalt paved roadways in
accordance with AASHTO design procedures and utilizing TxDOT and City of Corpus
Christi matenals specifications:
· foundation recommendations for proposed significant new structures;
· construction considerations including site preparation, soil stabilization, and soil
compaction, etc
Special Conditions and/or Assumptions
· two mob/demobs for field explorations are assumed, one for roadway fieldwork and one
for structures related soil borings;
· access and right-of-entry provided by Client prior to our field crew arrival;
· boring locations will be determined and marked by Fugro in consultation with the City.
However, surveyed locations and elevations will be determined by others and the data
obtained will be provided to Fugro for inclusion on logs of borings;
· Fugro will notify Texas One-Call of boring locations prior to commencing fieldwork;
· traffic control will be limited to traffic cones and vehicle(s) with yellow flashing warning
lights In oncoming traffic lanes at each location to protect Fugro workers and
equipment It is our understanding that a detailed traffic control plan submitted to and
approved by the City prior to commencing fieldwork is not required for this project;
· fieldwork will be performed In Modified Level 0 personal protective equipment (rubber
boots, hard hat, etc.)
Cost and Terms
· Services to be performed in accordance with our attached "General Conditions
for Technical Services" Schedule 40.01 (April 2005).
· We estimate the budget for this study will be about $32,360.00. This estimate is based
upon the scope of work as outlined in this proposal. In the event the planned scope of

work is increased or decreased, the reduction or increase to our fees will be according
to our unit rate fees. Our estimated budget for the geotechnical study for this project is
shown on Attachment I
· Three copies of final report to be issued.
Schedule of Work
· Field investigation to begin within 2 to 3 days following authorization. We anticipate
authorization of roadway related field work to occur first and a second authorization for
fieldwork related to the proposed significant new structures to follow at a later date
when structure details and locations are more firmly established. Field work for
roadways will take approximately two weeks to complete. Field work for the structures
will take approximately 2 days.
· Laboratory analyses for both the roadway and structures investigations are anticipated
to take approximately 7 to 10 working days following completion of their respective
fieldworks.
· We recognize the need to provide interim results. Therefore, we will make data and
results available on an interim basis to allow design to progress prior to final report
submittal.
· Final report(s) to be issued within five weeks following completion of fieldwork.
Closing
We appreciate the opportunity to prepare this proposal for the City of Corpus Christi and look
forward to working with you on this project. For further information or questions, please contact us
