Re: SUE for-Flstrr Road,full depth repair—E15110
Corpus Christi
Dear Mr.Hale,
CobbFendley is pleased to provide this scope and fee estimate for the Subsurface Utility Engineering(SUE)investigation services
associated with the project referenced above. The proposed Scope of Services and Basis of Compensation arc outlined below.
This proposal is based on a site visit and information obtained during our meeting on August 12,2016.
Scope of Services
The purpose of this SUE investigation is to assist the City of Corpus Christi and CH2MHILL in determining the presence and
location of subsurface utilities as part of the full depth repair design proposed on Flato Rd. For scope limits: see plan attached.
CobbFendley will use a phased approach:
- Perform Level B SUE to accurately identify and verify utility locations,then
- Perform Level A SUE to obtain utility depth information and resolve potential conflicts.
When performing this type of work,CobbFendley typically follows ASCE 38-02"The Standard Guidelines for the Collection
and Depiction of Existing Subsurface Utility Data"-see below.
Utility Quality Levels arc defined in cumulative order(least to greatest):
Quality Level D-Existing Records: Utilities are plotted from review of available existing records
Quality Level C - Surface Visible Feature Survey: Quality Level "D" information from existing records is correlated with
surveyed surface-visible features.
Quality Level B-Designate: Two-dimensional horizontal mapping. This information is obtained through the application and
interpretation of appropriate non-destructive surface geophysical methods. Utility indications may be referenced to established
survey control. Additional description of services,methodology and equipment is below.
Quality Level A - Locate (Test Hole): Three-dimensional mapping and other characterization data. This information is
obtained through exposing utility facilities through test holes and measuring and recording (to appropriate survey control)
utility/environment data

Utility Designating(Level B)
1. Coordinate with City of Corpus Christi to schedule work. The City will provide permission or permits to perform work,
or right of entry to property and any utility easements. The cost of permits is not included in this proposal.
2. CobbFendley will perform Record Research to request utility information not already obtained by CH2MHILL. This
will assist CobbFendley in identifying utilities and marking them in the field.
3. CobbFendley will designate (mark and record) the horizontal location of the existing tone-able utility facilities using
non-destructive surface geophysical techniques. Tone-able utilities are typically utilities that are conductive or internally
accessible with a traceable fish tape or sonde. Water and communication vaults can typically be investigated from above
ground. CobbFendley does not enter buried power vaults or manholes.
4. Under ideal circumstances,nonconductive buried lines can be investigated successfully with Ground Penetrating Radar
(GPR). Soil conditions in Texas are, however,generally not suitable for GPR. CobbFendley has had success using
GPR for SUE work,but non-conductive features can remain undetected.
5. A non-water base paint, utilizing the APWA color code scheme and pin flags will be used on all surface markings of
underground features. CobbFendley will provide a field sketch of designated utilities.
G. CH2MIHILL will survey SUE field markings and above ground utility features,tie to existing project survey control and
plot on project base topo map. CobbFendley will review this utility map and compare with as-built information and
field work. Discrepancies will be resolved using professional judgement. Comments will be provided to CH2hIHILL.
7. Provide letter report summarizing work performed.
8. Based on the Level B SUE information and proposed designs, CobbFendley can assist CH2MHILL and the City of
Corpus Christi in determining utility conflict locations and appropriate locations for vacuum excavation test holes to
assist in resolving these potential conflicts.
Vacuum Excavation(Level A)
After the Level B information has been provided, CobbFendley can assist in determining the need for Quality Level A. In
locations where the depth of identified buried utilities is required,CobbFendley can perform FHWA Level A vacuum test holes.
Holes are excavated using a nondestructive compressed air vacuum excavation truck. Vacuum excavation is performed as
follows:
1. Comply with regulations, and/or policies for the prevention of underground utility damage (i.e., one-call system).
Coordinate with Development Services to schedule work. The City of Corpus Christi will obtain permission and permits
to perform work. The cost of permits is not included in this proposal.
2. Vacuum excavate to measure and record the depth and location of found items. CobbFendley accepts no responsibility
for contaminated soils should they be encountered during excavation. CobbFendley does not take ownership of any
excavated material.
3. Record depth of the utility,line size,line material,condition of the line,type of soil around the line. Provide markers
at each utility location.
4. Backfill the hole.Compact in lifts.Restore pavement.
5. Survey of utility test hole locations will be provided by CH2MHILL. Survey will be tied to existing project survey
control.
EXHIBIT"A"

Chris Hale,P.E.
Page 3 of 5 AEI' CobbFendley
6. CobbFendley will provide drafting to produce test hole data sheets showing utility depth, size and line material,
condition of the line,type of soil for each test hole location surveyed. Test hole data sheets include a"snapshot"from
the CAD file showing test hole location and photographs of test hole and found utilities. Test hole data sheets will be
signed by a Texas P.E.
It is not anticipated that traffic control will be required for SUE Level B;however,depending on the location of test holes on
this project,it may be required for Level A work. Standard traffic control is performed by CobbFendley and is included in our
standard rates. Standard traffic control can be described as short term lane closure necessary to access utility features located in
the roadway. Should `non-standard' traffic control be required (lane closures, police officer present, arrow board, etc.) these
services will be considered extra.

Level A (test hole) services can be provided using the rates below. The table shows the estimated daily rate for vacuum
excavation work. Depending on site conditions, depth of utility, traffic control and restrictions on when excavation can be
performed,Cobbfendley crews often excavate 2 holes per day if locations are in the street and have restrictions on access. Or
3-4 holes can often be performed per day,if the hole locations are easier to excavate.
