(RETL) (TBPE Firm No. 2101) is pleased to submit the following proposal to perform a subsurface investigation and laboratory testing program and provide geotechnical recommendations for the proposed slope stability analysis to be done at Doddridge Park located in Corpus Christi,Texas. Based on information provided to RETL, the project will include a slope stability analysis at Doddridge Park in Corpus Christi,Texas. It should be noted that preliminary loads and other design details have not been provided. If this information becomes available, it should be forwarded to RETL so we might refine the scope of work. As directed by HDR Engineering, Inc., RETL will perform 1 boring to a termination depth of 50-feet within the slide area and install an inclinometer observation well and 1 boring to a termination depth of 70-feet uphill of the slide area and install a piezometer within the upper 30-feet (Total Number of Borings: 2; Total Linear Feet of Drilling: 120 LF). The scope of work is outlined below. ROCK ENGINEERING&TESTING LABORATORY,INC.

The borings will be relocated if necessary. • A truck mounted drilling rig will be utilized to access the boring locations. If an all-terrain vehicle is required,RETL should be notified to provide a revised scope of work and associated fee. • An experienced soil technician will log the borings in the field full-time during the drilling operations. • Soil samples will be obtained at predetermined depths, unless subsurface conditions warrant additional sampling. • The 50-foot boring will be sampled continuously to a depth of 25-feet and at 2.5-feet intervals thereafter to termination depth. • The 70-foot boring will be sampled every 2.5-feet to a depth of 15-feet and at 5-foot intervals thereafter to termination depth. • Disturbed soil samples will be obtained employing split-barrel sampling procedures in general accordance with the procedures for "Penetration Test and Split-Barrel Sampling of Soils, (ASTM D1586)." • Undisturbed soil samples will be obtained using thin-wall tube sampling procedures in accordance with"Thin Walled Tube Sampling of Soils, (ASTM D1587)"where applicable. • The shear strength of cohesive soils, if present, when sampled using an undisturbed Shelby tube, will be estimated using a hand penetrometer. • Standard penetration tests(SPT)will be recorded in granular soils where applicable. • The borings will be advanced to the depth specified above. • GPS coordinates, obtained in the field at the boring locations, will be recorded using a commercially available Garmin handheld GPS model Etrex Venture using NAD 83 map datum. • Groundwater readings will be obtained during drilling and immediately upon completion of the drilling operations. • After completion of drilling operations, piezometer and inclinometer observation wells shall be built at the boring locations. • Inclinometer observations will be made twice a month for six months. Piezometer Installation: • The well screen for the piezometers will be constructed of 1-inch I.D. flush-threaded Schedule 40 PVC pipe with 0.010-inch factory mill slots. The casing will be capped at the upper end with a 1-inch well seal.The bottom of the screen will connect to a 1-inch diameter PVC bottom cap. ROCK ENGINEERING&TESTING LABORATORY,INC.

It is understood that the actual screened interval may vary depending on field conditions encountered during drilling activities. • A graded filter pack will be placed in the annular space around the screen to a level of at least one-foot but not more than two-feet above the top of the screen. The filer pack will consist of 20/40 mesh high silica filter sand. • An annular seal, consisting of bentonite pellets, will be placed in the annular space above the filter pack between the well casing and borehole. • The bentonite seal will be comprised of%-inch diameter bentonite pellets. • The client or a representative of the client will perform development/purging of the piezometers. • RETL will abandon the piezometers in accordance with state regulations when directed by the client. Scope of Laboratory Testing Program • Supplementary Visual Classification(ASTM D2487) • Water Content Tests(ASTM D2216) • Atterberg Limits Tests(ASTM D4318) • Unconfined Compressive Strength Tests(ASTM D2166) • Percent Material Finer Than The#200 Sieve Tests(ASTM D1140) • Direct Shear Test(ASTM D3080)(3 Points) • Consolidated-Undrained Triaxial Compression Test for Cohesive Soils (CU Test) (ASTM D4767) (With Pore Pressure)(3 Points) • Unconsolidated-Undrained Triaxial Compression Test(UU Test) (ASTM D2850)(One Point) All phases of the laboratory testing program will be performed in general accordance with applicable ASTM Specifications.
