City of Corpus Christi
Proposal No. 325-85026-A1
• Full Service - We routinely perform geotechnical engineering and construction
materials testing from our South Texas offices, which are supported by 125
offices across North America. Should special needs arise, we also provide
consulting services in the Environmental Consulting, Facilities and Roofing
Consulting, Specialty Engineering and Testing, and Industrial Hygiene Services.
As proud Coastal Bend residents, we consider development and growth in this area a
key part of our quality of life.
REQUESTED SCOPE OF SERVICES
Project information used to prepare this proposal was obtained during a site visit by PSI
personnel with Mr. Mike Lawrence, P.E., of PGAL, on August 12, 2008. Representatives
of the Corpus Christi International Airport were also present during the site visit. Mr.
Lawrence took PSI personnel to the site and identified the location of the proposed
concrete pavement removal and replacement, and the location of the proposed new
concrete pavement road area.
Mr. Lawrence requested coring of the existing concrete pavements and performance of
soil test borings within the existing concrete pavement areas. If possible, the
approximately four (4) inch diameter concrete cores were to be tested for compressive
strength. Soil test borings were also requested in the proposed new concrete pavement
area.
Mr. Lawrence requested that soil test borings in existing pavement areas and in the
proposed new pavement area extend to a depth of approximately ten (10) feet below
existing site grade. In addition, Mr. Lawrence agreed to allow one (1) of the proposed
borings in the existing pavement area (the boring is also adjacent to the existing
building) to extend to a depth of approximately 50 feet below the existing concrete
pavement surface of the site. A total of four (4) soil test borings are planned.
We have assumed that each of the test borings will be staked by the City of
Corpus Christi and/or by PGAL. PSI has not included a separate cost for staking
of the 22 soil test borings.
The information obtained from the deeper boring can be used to prepare foundation and
floor slab recommendations for construction of an addition to the existing structure if this
work-is-planned If~n addition is planned, a deep foundation system consisting of drilled
piers or auger cast-in-place piles will reportedly be used. The existing structure has
steel and masonry framing.
We were also requested to provide concrete pavement design recommendations for the
site of the proposed ARFF Station Improvements. PSI has prepared this proposal based
on the assumption that the design of the pavements can be performed based on an
assumed California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value of two (2) which is based on our prior
experience with the existing Fat Clay soils at the site.

PROJECT INFORMATION
City of Corpus Christi
Proposal No. 325-85026-A7
Based on the information provided to PSI, we understand that current plans are to
remove and replace some of the existing concrete pavements at the ARFF Station.
Truck traffic is expected for the proposed replacement and new concrete pavements.
We also understand that an addition to the ARFF Station building may be constructed at
the site. In addition, a planned 25 foot to 30 foot wide new concrete road pavement will
also be constructed at the site. If performed, the proposed building addition will match
that of the existing structure. However, specific information regarding the loads on the
walls and columns of the addition has not been provided to PSI at the time this proposal
was prepared. The topographic plan and the Finished Floor Elevation (FFE) were not
provided to PSI. However, the site is fairly level and It is understood that the pavements
and the floor slab will be located at or slightly above the final site grade. Pavements will
include concrete pavements. Concrete pavements will require a prepared sub-grade
and/or required base materials below the pavements.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our proposal for this study will include the following services:
Drilling will include a total of two (2) exploratory test borings in the
existing concrete pavement area and two (2) exploratory test
borings in the proposed concrete road pavement area.
The proposed pavement boring located adjacent to the possible
building area addition will be drilled to a depth of about 50 feet below
the existing pavement surface, and the other pavement borings will
be drilled to a depth of about ten (10) feet below the existing
pavement or ground surface.
PSI will contact a utility clearance group by calling an (800) or (888)
telephone number and providing the location of the proposed
borings.
• It should be noted that this proposal was prepared based on the four
(4) test borings and an assumed CBR value of two (2). If additional
test borings or CBR testing are required, the fees for PSI to perform
- - ~>~rk will- need to be increased on a unit price basis. Additional
costs will be addressed in a Change Order and submitted to the City
of Corpus Christi for approval prior to performing the additional
drilling and CBR testing.
• Sampling the subsurface materials and limited observation of
groundwater conditions in each test boring.

City of Corpus Christi
Proposal No. 325-85026-A7
• Visual classification by a technician, degreed geologist, or degreed
engineer of the subsurface materials encountered during sampling
and testing.
• Backfilling of boreholes with soil after groundwater observations are
performed for borings located in grass areas.
• Backfilling of boreholes with grout after groundwater observations
are performed for borings located in concrete pavement areas.
• Laboratory testing of selected soil samples obtained from the test
borings.
• Recommendations for the concrete pavement and provision of data
for use in pavement design and construction.
• Recommendations of the type or types of deep foundations that
would be suitable for the possible proposed building addition and
provision of data for use in foundation design and construction.
• Recommendations for preparing/constructing the possible addition
building pad to reduce potential soil-related movements.
• Recommendations for general rigid pavement thicknesses and
material specifications.
PROJECT APPROACH
The project approach presented herein is tailored specifically to the project described in
the preceding section. If any items such as underground structures, signs, retaining
walls, detention ponds, etc. will be a part of this project and are not discussed above,
please contact this office so that we can revise our proposed scope and cost to fit your
needs.
FIELD EXPLORATION
Based on the project description, site geology, and requested scope of services, the site
subsurface conditions will be evaluated by drilling the four (4) exploratory test borings.
Two (2) test borings will be drilled within the existing concrete pavement footprint area,
and two (2) test borings will be drilled within the planned concrete pavement area.
Three (3) of the borings will be drilled to depths of approximately ten (10) feet below
existing site grades. One (1) soil test boring will be drilled to about 50 feet below the
surface of the site.

Proposed ARFF Station Improvements City of Corpus Christi
Corpus Christi International Airport Proposal No. 325-85026-A1
Corpus Christi, Texas.
Soil samples will generally be obtained at the ground surface, strata changes, or at
maximum intervals of five (5) feet. Penetration resistance testing and undisturbed
sample collection will be performed in general accordance with the requirements of
ASTM Designations D 1586 and D 1587 respectively. Test borings will be located in the
field by PSI's drilling personnel by using the previously staked boring locations. All
samples will be sealed at the site to prevent loss of moisture and disturbance during
transportation to the laboratory for classification and a limited number of engineering
properties tests.
PSI will leave any soil cuttings not used for backfilling of the soil borings at the drilling
locations. PSI will not be responsible for the transportation, treatment, and/or disposal of
the materials generated from the drilling operations.
PSI will contact Digress or a similar company for public utility clearance prior to the
start of drilling activities. It is our experience that this service does not mark the
locations of privately owned utilities. Our proposal assumes that private utility lines and
other subsurface appurtenances will be located in the field by our client and/or the
property owner prior to our mobilization.
Some damage to the ground surface may result from the drilling operations near the
work areas and along ingress/egress pathways. We will attempt to limit such damage,
but no restoration other than soil backfilling is included. Though we will make every
effort to locate irrigation systems we assume no responsibility for broken irrigation lines,
heads, or associated equipment.
LABORATORY ANALYSIS
The nature and extent of the laboratory testing program will be dependent upon the
subsurface conditions observed during our field exploration operations, and may include
Atterberg limits determinations, unconfined compressive strength tests, concrete
compressive strengths, triaxial compressive strength tests, unit dry weights, sieve
analyses, and moisture content determinations as necessary to identify the engineering
characteristics of the soil.
ENGINEERING ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The results of the field exploration and laboratory testing will be used in the engineering
analysis and in the formulation of our recommendations. The results of the subsurface
exploration, including the recommendations and the data on which they are based, will
be presented in a written report. Our estimate covers the work needed to present our
findings and recommendations in a report form, to include:
~~~ Page 5 of 12
Proposed ARFF Station Improvements
Corpus Christi International Airport
Corpus Christi, Texas.
City of Corpus Christi
Proposal No. 325-85026-A1
• Logs of test borings and a plan showing the approximate locations of the test
borings.
• Description of the drilling and sampling program, description of the geology and
subsurface conditions encountered, observed/measured groundwater conditions,
and laboratory test results.
• Recommendations for general rigid pavement thickness and material
specifications.
• Possible recommendations for the proposed addition deep foundation types and
designs including the recommended bearing strata and net allowable soil bearing
pressures.
• Estimated settlement of the proposed building addition.
• Discussion of site soil conditions that may impact design and construction.
Three (3) copies and an e-mailed (PDF) copy of the final report will be provided. Not
included are reviews of pavement and foundation drawings, preparation of construction
specifications, special conferences, and any other work requested after submittal of our
report. PSI would, however, be pleased to provide additional services on a unit price
basis.
The services proposed herein are conventional in nature and do not include any special
services that may lessen the risk of conditions that can contribute to moisture, mold, or
other microbial contaminant amplification in buildings. Mold is abundant throughout
nature and is comprised of a wide variety of microscopic fungi. Due to its nature, the
potential for mold infestations cannot be completely eliminated. However, PSI offers a
wide array of professional Moisture, Waterproofing, Roofing and Indoor Air Quality/Mold
Consulting services that can help reduce the likelihood of future occurrences. PSI is
interested in discussing these service options with you to suit your specific needs and
project objectives. If requested, PSI will submit a proposal for these additional services
under a separate cover for your review and authorization.
