City of Orono – Orono Public Works Facility, Orono, MN AET Proposal No. P-0012042 September 15, 2022 Page 2 of 10  Have reinforced masonry block walls; cast-in-place concrete walls; precast concrete wall panels; a metal deck roof supported by steel joists.  Be able to tolerate normal amounts of settlement for this type of structure (up to 1- inch total and ½-inch differential, and up to 1-inch differential between the original building and new construction).  Have pavements on the E,W,N sides of the structure consisting of 4 inches of bituminous over 8 inches of Class 5 aggregate base. AVAILABLE BID INFORMATION Project documents provided to assist us in preparing this proposal included the following:  Project Architectural, Structural, and Civil Plans, dated 4/4/2022  Project Manual, dated 4/4/2022 SCOPE OF SERVICES Based on discussions with Thomas Stromsodt, and our review of the available plans and specifications, our anticipated scope of services is outlined below. Excavation Observations and Soil Testing During excavation for the building and parking lots, an Engineering Assistant from our firm will visit the site on an on-call basis to perform the following services:  Observe the soils in the bottoms of the excavations completed at that time.  Perform shallow hand auger borings in the excavations.  Perform hand cone penetrometer (HCP) probes in the excavations.  Evaluate the suitability of the soils present in the excavations to support the anticipated fill, structural loads and pavements.  Document the elevations at various locations at the bottoms of the excavations.  Document that adequate oversizing of the excavations is provided to support lateral loads from the footings through the fill. During placement of fill in the building excavations, pavement excavations, and utility trench excavations, an experienced Engineering Technician II will visit the site on an on- call basis to test the compaction of the fill. The technician will perform the following services:  In-place field density tests to evaluate the compaction of the fill soils using the nuclear density gauge method.  Standard Proctor tests for each different type of fill encountered at the test locations.  Obtain samples of sand fill and/or aggregate base materials for sieve analysis tests.
