(AET) is pleased to offer Special Inspection and <br />Construction Testing Services to the City of Orono (hereafter referred to as the Client) for <br />the referenced project. This proposal has been prepared in response a recent RFP and <br />describes our understanding of the project, our anticipated scope of services, our unit <br />rates, and an estimated total fee to perform these services. <br />GEOTECHNICAL INFORMATION <br />We performed a geotechnical exploration and analysis for this project. The results were <br />presented in our Report of Geotechnical Exploration and Review, March 22, 2022 (AET <br />Report No. P-0008741). In the report, the site soil profile is generalized as topsoil and fill <br />underlain by natural glacial till. We recommended in the report that the proposed building <br />be supported by conventional spread footings after corrective earthwork to remove the <br />existing topsoil and fill to the underlying naturally deposited till soils. Refer to that report <br />for more details regarding site conditions and recommendations. <br />PROJECT INFORMATION <br />We understand the proposed construction will be a new public works facility. We further <br />understand the building will: <br /> <br /> Have one above-grade level with mezzanines. <br /> Have a first-floor elevation range from 90’-0” to 100’-0”. <br /> Have approximate overall plan dimensions of 540 feet by 140 feet. <br /> Be supported by conventional spread footings designed using an allowable soil <br />bearing pressure of 4,000 pounds per square foot (psf). <br /> Have bottom-of-footing elevations ranging from 85’-0” to 95’-0” for the perimeter <br />footings.
