This letter transmits our work scope pr~posal to conduct a geotechnical investigation at the tower site. This proposal is based on the project information provided to us by HDRJShiner Moseley & Associates, a site visit on May 9, 2006, and our experience with the subsurface soil conditions in the vicinity of the site. Details of the proposed work scope and estimated cost of the investigation are described in Attachments A and B. If you should have any questions regarding these materials, please feel free to call me. We look forward to working with you and thank you for this opportunity. Sincerely, KLEINFELDER . ~PIQ~ pjJ(n!

The tower will be a three-legged, 120-foot tall, self-supported structure. The foundation loads associated with the tower were not available at this time, but are expected to be relatively light. The intent of this investigation as described herein is to provide the owner and their design consultants with infonnation about the geology and subsurface soil conditions, and to provide design recommendations for the tower foundation. Field Investigation: We propose to drill one [1 J soil boring at the site to a depth of 40 feet below existing grade. The borehole will be plugged with auger cuttings upon completion. We will make short-term observations for ground water during the drilling operations. This investigation in no way should be considered as a comprehensive ground water exploration. The soil boring will be drilled with our truck-mounted drill rig. We plan to recover undisturbed samples of cohesive clay soils. Standard Penetration tests (SPT) will be conducted in the event that non-cohesive soils are encountered. All recovered samples will be properly labeled, wrapped and sealed. All samples will be returned to the laboratory where they will be reviewed and representative samples selected for testing. Laboratory Testing: TIle recovered soil samples will be tested in the laboratory using the folJo\\mg tests mtended lU characl,:uL( ,lie SOl] phYSIcal propcnic:,. This inlorma;,ion \vill be used for analysis of the tower foundation. Atterberg Limits Tests (liquid limit, plastic limit and plasticity index) Percent Passing #200 Sieve Moisture Contents Unit Dry Weight Pocket Penetrometer Unconfined Compressive Strength Ebgineering Analysis, Recommendations and Report: Our project engineer will supervise the field and laboratory investigations and prepare the geotechnical engineering report. All the results of the field exploration and laboratory tests will be used in our analyses. We will provide the results of our investigation in a formal written report. It will include a boring location plan, boring logs and laboratory test results. The report will also describe our analyses and evaluations of the tower foundation based on the particular soil conditions encountered at the site. We will provide a total ofthree copies of the geotechnical report. 6)tY06PG053/CCH6P053 Copyright 2006, Klein[elder ,\FEU1ER 1.2 \rn! 1,,' Kli (", July 17, 2006 II :, I : :,.1 --l i :1' I HS--l---lCJ2--l tc1X ~,. .,- Attachment A, Page 2 Valenzuela Landfill/Airport Tower Corpus Christi, Texas Schedule: We are prepared to begin the work within one to two working days after receiving a notice to proceed assummg favorable weather conditions and the boring location is accessible to our truck mounted equipment. Prior 10 commencing the field work, locations of underground utilities, if any. below the project site should be determined. It should be noted that this process takes a mmimum of two i 2], but usually three [3]. working days to complete. Once underground utilities are located, we will begin the soil boring. The soil boring is expected to require one [1] day to complete. Laboratory testing will begin as the field work is completed, and we antiCIpate being able to complete all testing within 5 working days. Preparation of the reports will require one week to complete once all testing has been finished. From start to finish, we anticipate submittmg the reports to you within about two weeks after completing the field work. Estimated Cost: The total estimated cost of our work is $3000. We will complete our assignment, as we now understand the scope for this lump sum fee. We will not exceed this estimate total unless the project work scope changes and unless written authorization is received. If services beyond our above stated scope are requested, they will be performed at the unit rates contained in Attachment B. The estimated fee includes location of the boring in the field and seeking clearance of underground utilities, ~t'hich may be present at the soil boring location. Sarveying and Access to Boring Locations: The fee estimate above assumes that the site is accessible to our tnlck m,)unted drill rip Furthemlore, the fee estimate assumes that our drill rig and support vehicles can negotiate the SHe under their own power without assistance. 6JfY06PG053/CCH6P053 CoPyright 2006, Kleinfelder !iNFELDER ,iil)2\lllhas',irlmR()\ CorUli,,(f1r,"i r ~i)4](, \',1 HS,I,r",1 July 17, 2006 :1, I!
