EXHIBIT B - SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our proposed scope of services consists of field exploration, laboratory testing, and
engineering/project delivery. These services are described in the following sections.
Field Exploration
Based on our experience of the project site, the following field exploration is planned:
Number of Borings Planned Boring Depth (feet) I Planned Location
2 10 Bill Witt Park
2 10 Lyndale Park
2 10 Salinas Park
1 Below ground surface
Boring Layout and Elevations: We use handheld GPS equipment to locate borings with an
estimated horizontal accuracy of+/-15 feet. Field measurements from existing site features may
be utilized. If available, approximate elevations are obtained by interpolation from a site specific,
surveyed topographic map.
Subsurface Exploration Procedures: We advance soil borings with a truck-mounted drill rig
using continuous flight augers (solid stem and/or hollow stem, as necessary, depending on soil
conditions). Five samples are obtained in the upper 10 feet of each boring and at intervals of 5
feet thereafter. Soil sampling is typically performed using thin-wall tube and/or split-barrel
sampling procedures. In the thin-walled tube sampling procedure, a thin-walled, seamless steel
tube with a sharp cutting edge is pushed hydraulically into the soil to obtain a relatively
undisturbed sample. In the split barrel sampling procedure, a standard 2-inch outer diameter split
barrel sampling spoon is driven into the ground by a 140-pound automatic hammer falling a
distance of 30 inches. The number of blows required to advance the sampling spoon the last 12
inches of a normal 18-inch penetration is recorded as the Standard Penetration Test (SPT)
resistance value. The SPT resistance values, also referred to as N-values, are indicated on the
boring logs at the test depths. The samples are placed in appropriate containers, taken to our soil
laboratory for testing, and classified by a geotechnical engineer. In addition,we observe and record
groundwater levels during drilling and sampling.
Our exploration team prepares field boring logs as part of standard drilling operations including
sampling depths, penetration distances, and other relevant sampling information. Field logs include
visual classifications of materials encountered during drilling, and our interpretation of subsurface
conditions between samples. Final boring logs, prepared from field logs, represent the
geotechnical engineer's interpretation, and include modifications based on observations and
laboratory tests.

20117A-Splash Pads Geotech Testing - 19057D Task Order No. 3
Corpus Christi, Texas • November 25, 2019 •Terracon Proposal No. PCD195020
Property Disturbance: We backfill borings with auger cuttings after completion. Pavements are
patched with cold-mix asphalt and/or ready mixed concrete, as appropriate. Our services do not
include repair of the site beyond backfilling our boreholes, and cold patching existing pavements.
Excess auger cuttings are dispersed in the general vicinity of the borehole. Because backfill
material often settles below the surface after a period, we recommend boreholes are checked
periodically and backfilled, if necessary. We can provide this service, or grout the boreholes for
additional fees, at your request.
Laboratory Testing
The samples will be tested in our laboratory to determine physical engineering characteristics. An
experienced geotechnical engineer will review the field boring logs and samples. Laboratory tests
will be conducted on representative samples to evaluate the pertinent engineering properties of
the materials encountered. The laboratory testing is planned to include, but not limit to, visual
classification, water content, Atterberg limits and strength tests (unconfined
compression/calibrated penetrometer) as appropriate. All of the laboratory tests will be performed
in accordance with applicable ASTM standards.
Our laboratory testing program often includes examination of soil samples by an engineer. Based
on the material's texture and plasticity, we describe and classify soil samples in accordance with
the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).
Safety
Private utilities should be marked by the owner/client prior to commencement of field
exploration. Terracon will not be responsible for damage to private utilities that are not made
aware to us. If the owner/client is not able to accurately locate private utilities, Terracon can assist
the owner/client by coordinating or subcontracting with a private utility locating services. Fees
associated with the additional services are not included in our current scope of services and will
be forwarded to our client for approval prior to initiating. The detection of underground utilities is
dependent upon the composition and construction of the utility line; some utilities are comprised
of non-electrically conductive materials and may not be readily detected. The use of a private
utility locate service would not relieve the owner of their responsibilities in identifying private
underground utilities.
Site Access: Terracon must be granted access to the site by the property owner. By acceptance
of this proposal, without information to the contrary, we consider this as authorization to access
the property for conducting field exploration in accordance with the scope of services.
Engineering and Project Delivery
Results of our field and laboratory programs are evaluated by a professional engineer. The
engineer develops a geotechnical site characterization, performs the engineering calculations
