SUBJECT: PROPOSAL TO PERFORM A SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION, LABORATORY
TESTING PROGRAM,AND PROVIDE GEOTECHNICAL RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR THE PROPOSED
JFK CAUSEWAY ACCESS ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
Corpus Christi,Texas
Bond 2018 Street Projects,Project Number 18034A
RETL Proposal Number: P032219A(Revision 1)
Dear Ms. West,
Rock Engineering and Testing Laboratory, Inc. (RETL) (TBPE Firm No. 2101) is pleased to submit the
following proposal to provide a subsurface investigation, laboratory testing, and a Geotechnical
recommendations report to be used during the design of the proposed JFK Causeway Access Road
improvements located in Corpus Christi,Texas.
Based on information provided to RETL,the project will include the improvement of the east bound J-hook
by widening PR 22 from the bridge abutment to the exit. The proposed improvements would require
modifications to the existing embankment.Improvements to the west bound exit approach will only require
restriping of the existing pavements.
Based on the information provided by the City of Corpus Christi's Engineering Services Department,RETL
will locate and perform three pavement cores, one boring at the crest of the embankment to a termination
depth of 45-feet, one boring at the toe of the embankment to a termination depth of 30-feet and one boring
to a termination depth of 5-feet within the existing pavements near the exit. In addition, RETL proposes to
perform two Cone Penetrometer Test Soundings,one to a depth of 45-feet and one to a depth of 30-feet,or
refusal,at the crest and toe of the embankment respectively. (Total number of Borings: 3; Total linear feet
of Drilling: 80 LF and Total number of Soundings: 2; Total linear feet of Soundings: 75 LF). RETL will
obtain pavement cores and sample, identify and measure the pavement constituents at the boring locations
if performed within the existing pavement materials.

Attn:Ms. Sarah West,P.E. RETL Proposal No.:P032219A(Revision 1)
Additionally, RETL will perform the following:
• Evaluate the subsurface soils within the limits of the proposed roadway improvement project by
obtaining information on the in-situ soils and groundwater conditions and to provide flexible
pavement sections suitable for 30-year pavement designs.
• Provide a Global Stability Analysis considering the proposed modifications to the existing
embankment.
• Provide soil parameters, trench excavation design parameters, OSHA soil type classification and
recommendations needed by the contractor/engineer to design braced excavations for installation
of underground utilities.
The scope of work is outlined below.
Scope of the Proposed Subsurface Investigation
• RETL will mark or stake the boring/core/sounding locations in the field prior to the field investigation.
• Coordination with Texas One Call will be performed by RETL to identify underground utilities in the
proximity of the boring/core/sounding locations. The borings/cores will be relocated if necessary.
• RETL will provide proper traffic control and traffic control devices as required by the City of Corpus
Christi during our field investigation.
• The borings will be sampled every 2.5-feet to a depth of 15-feet and at 5-foot intervals thereafter to the
termination depth of the borings.
• Groundwater readings will be obtained during drilling and immediately upon completion of the drilling
operations.
• After obtaining the delayed groundwater readings, the open boreholes will be backfilled with excess
soils obtained during the drilling operations, the base material will be replaced in the boreholes and
patched with cold mix, where applicable. Any excess material from the boring operations will be
disposed of by RETL.
Scope of Laboratory Testing Program
• Supplementary Visual Classification(ASTM D2487)
• Water Content Tests (ASTM D2216)
• Atterberg Limits Tests (ASTM D4318)
• Unconfined Compression Tests(ASTM D2166)
• Percent passing No. 200 (ASTM Dl 140)
• Consolidated Undrained Triaxial Compression Test(ASTM D4767)
The preceding test methods may be performed on selected samples, depending on the actual subsurface
conditions encountered. All phases of the laboratory testing program will be performed in general
accordance with applicable ASTM Specifications. All laboratory test results will be provided in the report
or included on the boring/sounding logs.

The responsibility to substantiate a claim rests with the party making the claim.

negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence.
ARTICLE 13. EXTENT OF AGREEMENT
13.1 This Agreement, including Exhibit"A" and these Terms and Conditions, represents the entire Agreement between
City and Lab and supersedes all prior negotiation, representations or agreements, written or oral. This Agreement

13.2 In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement are for any reason held invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the remaining terms will be in full effect and this Agreement will be
construed as if the invalid or unenforceable matters were never included in this Agreement. No waiver of any
default will be a waiver of any future default.
13.3 Neither party will assign this Agreement without the express written approval of the other, but Lab may
subcontract laboratory procedures as Lab deems necessary to meet the obligations of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 14. SAFETY
City and Lab agree that, in accordance with the generally accepted construction practice, the Project's general contractor
will be solely and completely responsible for working conditions on the Project, including safety of all persons and property
during the performance of the work and for compliance with all municipal, state and federal laws, rules and regulations,
including OSHA. The duty of Lab in providing services is not, therefore, to include any review of, or responsibility for, the
adequacy of the Project's general contractor's safety measures in, on or near the Project site.
