PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2
We understand that the proposed project consists of the design and construction of two precast
concrete arch bridge structures (similar to the bridge located on Whitecap Boulevard) to be
located along the existing alignment of Park Road 22 (South Padre Island Road). The proposed
bridges will be located along Park Road, approximately 3,000 ft south of its intersection with
Commodores Drive in Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas. We understand the bridges will
include pedestrian traffic crossing in a west to east direction off Park Road 22 and it will support
vehicular traffic over a channel which is anticipated to promote water exchange between the east
and west subdivisions on Park Road 22. We understand that the materials to be
excavated /dredged in order to accommodate the water exchange channel are preferred to be
used as general fill materials for the construction of its retaining walls. We further understand that
the project will also include the design and construction of an approximately 20 -ft deep lift station
to be located along the west side of Park Road 22, approximately 1,400 ft south of its intersection
with Commodores Drive.
FIELD STUDY
To assess subsurface conditions at the subject site, we propose to conduct the following drilling
scheme.

* below the existing ground /pavement surface elevation, or auger refusal, whichever occurs first.
We respectfully request that each boring location be established in the field by Urban
Engineering, and that horizontal and vertical control information be provided to R -K, based on a
known benchmark located close to the project site. R -K will place warning signs and cones
along the shoulders during the duration of the drilling operations, since the drilling will be
conducted on the median and off the road shoulders.
With the exception of the samples associated with the bridge and channel borings, samples will be
taken using conventional split -spoon and/or Shelby tube sampling techniques in general
accordance with applicable American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards.
Subsurface information for the bridge and channel borings will also be obtained by using Texas
Cone Penetration (TCP) techniques in general accordance with the TxDOT Geotechnical Manual,
dated August 2006. Typically, drilling will cease if five consecutive TCP test results of 100 blows
for less than 4 in. are recorded. In order to collect samples from these borings for laboratory
testing purposes, split -spoon or Shelby tube sampling techniques will be used in between each
TCP sampling event. Samples will also be obtained near the bottom of the proposed channel for
Exhibit A

Proposal No. PCA11- 010 -00
August 29, 2011
scour analyses. Representative portions of the samples will be sealed, identified, packaged, and
transported to our laboratory for subsequent testing and classification.
Upon completion of drilling activities, water level readings, if applicable, will be recorded in the
open boreholes and the boreholes will be backfilled using the auger cuttings generated during the
drilling operations. The upper six inches of each boring will be patched with a cement - aggregate
mixture and flushed with the adjacent ground /pavement surface elevation.
LABORATORY STUDY
Upon completion of the subsurface exploration, a general testing program will be designed to
define the classification and shrink/swell characteristics of the subsurface conditions. The testing
program is anticipated to include water content determinations, Atterberg limits (plasticity) tests,
unconfined compressive strengths, dry unit weight determination, consolidation tests,
Consolidated- Undrained (CU) triaxial tests, and grain size analyses. The laboratory testing will be
performed in general accordance with applicable ASTM standards..
In addition to the above - described testing program, representative surficial specimens will be
obtained from the borings drilled within the pavement areas and will be subjected to a California
Bearing Ratio (CBR) test. The CBR testing will provide information regarding the inundated
strength and swell characteristics of the surficial subgrade soils for direct use in pavement
design analyses. We anticipate that one CBR test will be required for this project.
ENGINEERING ANALYSIS AND REPORT
The results of the field and laboratory phases of the study will be reviewed by our staff of
engineers. The results of our review, together with the supporting field and laboratory data, will
be presented in a written, engineering report. Included therein will be recommendations
concerning the design and construction of the foundation and pavement systems for the
proposed arch bridge, water exchange channel retaining walls, lift station structure, and road
alignment. The Geotechnical Engineering Report may also include the following information
and recommendations:
• A summary of the field and laboratory sampling and testing program;
• Boring logs and laboratory testing results;
• A review of the general site conditions including a description of the site, the
subsurface stratigraphy, groundwater conditions, and the presence and
condition of fill materials, if encountered.
• Foundation design considerations and recommendations, including:
- expansive, soil- related movements using an empirical
method for predicting Potential Vertical Rise (PVR)
developed by the Texas Department of Transportation
(TxDOT);
- shallow and/or deep foundation recommendations;
- available soil - bearing pressures;
- settlement estimations, where applicable;
- lateral earth pressures;
- global stability analyses; and
Exhibit A
Pa e3of6

- groundwater considerations.
Foundation construction considerations, including:
- site drainage;
- site preparation;
- select fill materials;
-- shallow and/or deep foundation excavations;
- potential reuse of on site materials as select fill
materials;
- excavation considerations; and
- fill placement compaction requirements.
Seismic region condition evaluations.

R -K will perform the pavement design services for this segment of Park Road 22, based on the
Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) data to be provided by TxDOT. The pavement borings will
be drilled along the shoulders and/or median to supplement the FWD data. The pavement
analyses will be conducted utilizing Flexible Pavement Design System (FPS) 19w software or
American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (ASSHTO) design methods
based on traffic loading conditions provided by TxDOT. Additionally, R -K will prepare a
pavement design report with the supporting information provided. Our scope of services and
cost assumes that the FWD data and traffic loading conditions will be provided to us by TxDOT.
Since site grading plans can result in changes in the foundation and pavement subgrade
conditions, final site grading plans will be helpful information in the preparation of engineering
recommendations. In the absence of final site grading information, we will prepare
recommendations based on the existing ground surface elevations. Also, specific information
concerning anticipated traffic loadings and frequencies for the pavement areas will be critical in
the preparation of pavement recommendations.
The final report will be reproduced in three, spirally -bound copies.
TENTATIVE PROJECT SCHEDULE
Based on our present workload and weather permitting, it is anticipated that the field exploration
phase of this study can begin within five working days of receiving written authorization to
proceed, provided that the site is accessible to our truck - mounted drill rigs and the CLIENT has
supplied us with all available information regarding existing utilities and below -grade structures on
site. The field exploration and laboratory testing phases of the study are expected to take
approximately twenty working days to complete. The engineering report will be submitted within
an additional thirty working days following completion of the laboratory testing. The above
schedule does not account for delays due to inclement weather. We will be pleased to provide
the design team with verbal design information as the data becomes available.

LUMP SUM COST
The total lump sum cost for the study outlined herein is $59,850.00. Should unusual subsurface
conditions be encountered in the field that indicate the desirability of significantly broadening the
scope of the study, we will contact you to receive written authorization before proceeding with any
additional work. Additional services will be billed on a unit basis in accordance with our standard
fees as indicated on the attached Schedule of Fees for Professional Services.
R -K requests to be provided with the site plan of the proposed bridge structures, water exchange
channel, and lift station locations. It is our understanding that access to all boring locations for a
conventional, truck - mounted drilling rig and underground utility clearance will be provided by the
CLIENT prior to our field exploration services.
We have also been asked by the CLIENT to provide an estimate for the Construction Quality
Assurance (CQA) services during the construction phase of this project. In order to establish
sufficient funds for conducting the CQA services during construction, R -K recommends to use
about 1 -112% to 2% of the estimated construction cost as a preliminary budget since the project
plans and specifications are in the process of being developed for the proposed project. Once the
project plans and specifications are finalized for the project, then we can review the requirements
of the project and provide the CLIENT with a revised estimate for the CQA services.
It should also be noted that our study scope (and project cost) do not include professional time
or travel expenses for participation in design team meetings. If these services are required,
they will be billed at our standard billing rates for professional time plus expenses.
ACCEPTANCE
We appreciate the opportunity of submitting this proposal and look forward to working with you in
the development of this project, which will be carried out accordance with this letter and the
following attachments:
