O. Box 9277 Corpus Christi,Texas 78469-9277 Attn: Ms. Marisa Alaniz, E.I.T. MarisaAlacctexas.com Ref: Proposal for Geotechnical Engineering Services South Oso Parkway—S. Staples St.to South Oso Parkway (18040A) Corpus Christi, Texas Task Order# 19— 17101T TWE Proposal No.: P19-0052 Dear Ms.Alaniz, Tolunay-Wong Engineers, Inc. (TWE) is pleased to submit this proposal to provide geotechnical engineering services for the referenced project. This proposal presents a general description of the project, our proposed scope of services to be provided and the estimated cost for completion of our services associated with the project. Project Overview We understand that the project will involve construction of a new roadway extension from existing South Oso Parkway to existing S. Staples Street in Corpus Christi, Texas with either a flexible (asphalt) or rigid (concrete) pavement section as well as possible addition of underground utilities. The site is about 700 feet long, undeveloped, flat, and covered with grass and weeds. Two material stockpiles are present near the north end of the site. We understand that the new roadway will receive a mixture of mostly residential vehicular traffic and that the results of a traffic count of all vehicles on the existing segment of South Oso Parkway leading up to the project location will be provided in the future. New traffic signal foundations will be included as part of the project. Scope of Services We will provide the personnel, equipment and materials necessary to complete the requirements of our scope of services. Our scope of services can be categorized into three major areas: field program, laboratory testing and engineering analysis/report preparation. The purpose of our geotechnical engineering services will be to provide the geotechnical information needed to assist the Client in the design and construction of a new roadway cross section(s)and signal foundations. Field Program The subsurface conditions along this extension of South Oso Parkway will be explored by performing a total of three (3) test borings, spaced about 250 to 300 feet apart, as requested. The proposed exploratory depths are one (1) test boring to a depth of 25-ft and two (2) test borings to depths of 5-ft below existing grade. A boring location plan with proposed locations is attached to the proposal. It is planned that the borings will be drilled with truck mounted drilling equipment.

April 12,2019 g TWE Proposal No.P19-0052 Since this project does not involve an existing roadway segment,traffic control will not be needed. The test boring locations will be identified by TWE and surveyed using a hand-held global positioning system(GPS) device. This proposal does not include pricing for professional surveying services to provide precise coordinates and elevations of the test boring locations. If necessary, pricing for these services can be provided upon request by the Client. Once the test boring locations are identified within the project site, we will notify the Texas 811 One Call System prior to the commencement of our field program for clearance of subsurface utilities and/or pipelines within the project site. Our field personnel will have the appropriate safety training and will be equipped with the appropriate personal protective equipment for work on an active City street. Our geotechnical services will be under the direction of a Professional Engineer experienced in geotechnical engineering. Our test borings will be logged by an experienced geotechnician. We will dry-auger the test borings until groundwater is observed or until borehole conditions require the use of wash-rotary drilling methods. When groundwater is encountered,the level will be allowed to stabilize for about ten(10)minutes to fifteen(15)minutes prior to completing the test borings. Geotechnical drilling and sampling will be performed in accordance with ASTM International standards. Samples will be obtained continuously to a depth of 12-ft, at the 13-ft to 15-ft depth and at 5-ft depth intervals thereafter until the boring completion depth is reached. Fine-grained, cohesive soils will be sampled using pushed, thin-walled Shelby tubes with an inside diameter of 2.87-in. Our geotechnician will conduct field strength measurements using a pocket penetrometer or hand torvane device on each cohesive soil sample recovered. The samples will be wrapped in foil, placed in labeled moisture sealed plastic bags, and placed in core boxes to minimize disturbance prior to transport to our laboratory. Where coarse-grained, cohesionless and semi-cohesionless soils are encountered, sampling will be performed using standard penetration test (SPT) methods. Our geotechnician will monitor the driving resistance and record blow counts while performing the SPTs. The disturbed samples from the SPT sampling will be placed in labeled moisture sealed plastic bags and delivered to our laboratory. The boreholes will be backfilled with soil cuttings and, as needed, imported backfill materials upon completion of drilling and sampling. Excess soil cutting will be spread around the boring location. Laboratory Testing Selected samples from the test borings will be used for laboratory testing. Our laboratory testing program will include properties such as moisture content, unit weight, unconfined compressive strength, unconsolidated-undrained triaxial compressive strength, Atterberg Limits and grain size distribution including percent passing No. 200 sieve. Engineering Analysis/Report Preparation Engineering analysis will be conducted utilizing the information collected during our field program and laboratory testing services. We will provide geotechnical design and construction recommendations for the proposed roadway construction. We will present the results and findings of Exhibit A Page 2 of 6 Houston • Dallas • Corpus Christi • La Porte • Beaumont • Lake Charles • Baton Rouge • New Orleans Page 2 of 5 • Tolunay-Wong April 1 ,2019 Engineers,Inc. TWE Proposal No.P19-0052 our geotechnical services in a final written report. Electronic and hard copies of our final report will be issued to the Client as requested. Our final report will include the following: a. Discussion and conclusions of findings including: • Summary of field and laboratory tasks; • Existing project site conditions; • Subsurface soil and groundwater conditions; • Boring logs presenting tabulated field and laboratory test results; b. Geotechnical design recommendations for the proposed roadway construction in accordance with the AASHTO Guide for Design and Pavement Structures including suitable flexible and rigid pavement sections for a 30-year service period, layer material types, layer material thicknesses and subgrade support characteristics. Several thickness combinations of each pavement component will be considered as well as options for either lime stabilization or the use of geogrid as a substitute for lime stabilization. A locally available crushed concrete will be considered as a substitute for crushed limestone as flexible base material; c. Geotechnical design recommendations for proposed signal pole foundations including drilled shaft foundation type, diameter and embedment length based on results of the test borings; d. Geotechnical design recommendations for the proposed underground utility installations including OSHA soil classifications and soil design parameters for trench excavation and braced excavation design;and, e. Geotechnical construction considerations including site and subgrade preparation, in-place soil stabilization, fill and backfill placement, compaction requirements, foundation installation and overall quality control inspection, monitoring and testing guidelines. Schedule Upon notice to proceed, our field program can typically commence within about five (5)working days depending on our current field schedule, site access, weather contingencies and location of subsurface utility and/or pipelines within the project alignment. We anticipate our field program will take one(1) day to complete with laboratory testing beginning as soil samples are returned to the laboratory. We anticipate that laboratory testing will be completed within one (1) week once assignments are submitted. Preparation of our final report will require two (2) weeks after all laboratory testing is completed. We anticipate an overall project duration of four (4) to five (5) weeks from notice to proceed to completion of our final report. During this time, we will communicate with the Client and provide preliminary geotechnical information as needed to avoid delays in the overall project schedule.
