RE Revised Cost Estimate for Geotechnical Evaluation
and Construction Materials Testing
Proposed Southeast Yardley Stormwater Upgrades
Spokane Valley, Washington
Dear Mr. Brodwater:
As you requested, we are pleased to provide you with this revised cost estimate for a
geotechnical evaluation and construction materials testing services for the above -
referenced project in Spokane Valley, Washington. The purpose of the geotechnical
evaluation is to assist in the design of the stormwater management facilities. The
proposed construction materials testing services are to assist in the construction of the
proposed improvements.
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
We understand that the proposed project will consist of the placement of storrnwater
catch basins along the Southeast Yardley roadways. The upgrade of these catch
basins will also include the addition of new stormwater pipe lines leading to new
stormwater swales with type B drywells. A retaining wall will be constructed within the
limits of the improvements. ALLWEST anticipates that our geotechnical services will
include field exploration, laboratory testing, and research and analysis. The
construction materials testing services will include soil density testing, concrete
sampling and testing, drywell installation observations, asphalt density testing and the
associated laboratory testing services.
In order to clearly define the scope of services and costs for this project, we have
broken this proposal into two sections, although the costs and invoicing will be
combined for your convenience.

QUALIFICATIONS AND PERSONNEL
ALLWEST employs a staff of qualified engineers, inspectors and technicians in our four
offices located in Hayden, Meridian and Lewiston, Idaho and Spokane, Washington.
These include five registered professional engineers and over twenty inspectors and
technicians, Our Spokane office maintains a national accreditation through the
American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA — http://www.A2LA.org/
Scopepdf/2491-01.pdf) and state accreditation through the Washington Association of
Building Officials (WABO — http://www.wabo.org/index.php?page=allwest-testing).
ALLWEST employs ICC and WABO certified technicians and inspectors. Additionally,
our inspectors and technicians maintain WAQTC and ACI certifications. We also
provide Non -Destructive Testing (NDT) services to Level II and 111 ASNT practices.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
GEOTECHNICAL CONSULTING SERVICES:
Geotechnical Field Exploration
Our field exploration will consist of observing approximately three (3) test pits. The test
pits will extend to depths of up to fifteen (15) feet below the existing ground surface
unless refusal due to very dense soils or bedrock is encountered. The depth and
number of test pits may be changed based on the conditions encountered. The
purpose of the test pits is to obtain soil samples for laboratory testing to provide soil
engineering characteristics data for retaining wall analysis and stormwater management
facilities.
Reconnaissance: The site reconnaissance will be performed by and ALLWEST Testing
and Engineering (ALLWEST) geologist or geotechnical engineer, who will.wall the site
to observe surface conditions. The purpose of this reconnaissance will be to collect
information regarding any features that could affect the proposed construction. We will
record our observations by means of notes, sketches, and/or photographs.
Field Coordination: Upon arrival at the site, we assume our crew will be given ready
access to the work locations and that any necessary permits or rights -of -entry will have
been obtained in advance by you, We will stake the proposed test pit locations and
conduct the utility locate as required by law.

Geotechnical Laboratory Testing
We propose to conduct a series of geotechnical laboratory tests on selected soil
samples obtained from our explorations in order to evaluate the engineering and index
properties of the site soils. These tests may include particle size distribution tests or
other tests as deemed necessary and appropriate based on the soils encountered. We
will store all samples for sixty days after the report has been issued and then discard
them, unless prior arrangements are made for longer-term storage.
Full -Scale Drywell Testing
We propose to perform a full-scale drywell test on the existing drywell at the project site.
The results of the test will provide a more direct and accurate drywell infiltration rate to
assist in the design of the stormwater facilities. The drywell test will be performed in
accordance with the Spokane Regional Stormwater Manual Appendix 4B procedures.
We will analyze the test data and provide information summarizing the test results and
provide the measured outflow rate for the drywell.
Geotechnical Research and Analysis
To supplement our field exploration and laboratory testing programs, we propose to
review various sources of geotechnical information concerning the project site. Such
sources will likely include geologic maps and other published documents. Available soil
logs and laboratory test results associated with previous subsurface explorations
performed on or near the site will also be reviewed. We will subsequently analyze field
exploration data and laboratory testing data in order to develop conclusions and
recommendations concerning the geotechnical aspects of the project.
Geotechnical Report Preparation
After analyzing the site conditions and the laboratory test results, we will prepare and
submit to you two copies of our Geotechnical Evaluation Report for the project site. Our
report will include the following specific items:
• Site plan showing approximate exploration locations;
• Descriptive logs of our subsurface explorations;
• Results of our field and laboratory tests;
• Description of subsurface, soil, and groundwater conditions;
• Recommendations for site preparation;
• Rill -scale drywall testing;
• Stormwater drainage (if applicable);
• Recommendations for construction observations;
• Explanation of report limitations;
• Recommendations for further geotechnical study, if necessary.

• Observations of drywell excavations and installation during placement:
2. Concrete Testing:
We will provide an engineering technician to test concrete during placement. Our
services will include the following:
• Verification of mix specifications including slump, air content, unit weight,

• Obtain bulk samples for testing of approved mix parameters.
ESTIMATED COSTS
GEOTECHNICAL CONSULTING SERVICES:

evaluation scope of services for a lump sum fee. We propose to complete the
engineering field services and engineering analysis scope for a fee of $2,500.00. This
fee includes the subcontracted services of a backhoe and operator to excavate and
backfill the test pits. If we become aware of conditions that may affect our scope of
services or our fee, we will notify you immediately. Project meetings, design revisions,
