RE: EXHIBIT A -1 — SCOPE OF WORK
Geotechnical Services
Mansfield Connection Project
Mansfield Avenue and Pines Road
Spokane Valley, Washington
Dear Mr. Fisch:
Strata, A Professional Services Corporation (STRATA) appreciates the opportunity to
continue our working relationship with the City of Spokane Valley (City) and provide this revised
proposal to perform geotechnical services for the proposed Mansfield Connection project in Spokane
Valley, Washington. We revised this proposal based on City review and scope adjustments arising
from recent stormwater testing the City conducted on -site. STRATA proposes to provide our services
to explore subsurface soil, accomplish geotechnical analyses and provide recommendations to assist
project planning and design. The following paragraphs describe our project approach, project
understanding, service scope, and estimated schedule and fees.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Proposed Construction
The project comprises reconstructing Mansfield Avenue from the concrete intersection with
Pines Road, east to Houk Road where a connection is planned through an existing private residential
property to connect with the existing 3 -lane Mansfield Avenue. We understand the City is currently in
the process of acquiring the residential property to accommodate the project. The roadway will be
constructed using a fully reconstructed pavement section consisting of asphalt concrete pavement
(ACP) and crushed surfacing top course and stormwater improvements are planned for the project.
The roadway section will include a bike lane and sidewalks on both the north and south sides to
match the existing Mansfield construction located east of the residence. We understand the City will
reference our recommendations for stormwater disposal and asphalt pavement section to help
develop their construction documents.
Final site grades are expected to remain primarily unchanged from the existing grades with
the exception of the area where the existing residence will be demolished. Up to 4 feet of fill will likely
be placed in this area to achieve site grades. Stormwater disposal improvements for the project
include 2 stormwater swales; one located southwest of the intersection of Mansfield and Houk and
one located north of the existing residence. Each swale will likely include a drywell for subsurface
stormwater disposal. Stormwater systems will be designed in accordance with the Spokane Regional
Stormwater Manual (SRSM).

Existing Site Conditions and Anticipated Subsurface Conditions
Mansfield Avenue is a two -way street with 2 traffic lanes and no traffic striping east of the
newly constructed Pines intersection. The roadway currently traverses east from Pines and turns
south at the residential property being acquired. East of the residential property, Mansfield continues
east as a 2 -way street with center turn lane. The existing roadway section is surfaced with ACP and
bituminous surface treatment of unknown thickness.
STRATA observed bedrock outcrops and evidence of large boulders and gravel soil in the
project's immediate vicinity. This area of the Spokane Valley is characterized by typical "Spokane
Valley" gravel and due to its proximity to the hills north of the site, there is the potential to encounter
relatively shallow bedrock. Furthermore, gravels deposited at the valley's periphery, such as near the
site, have the potential to contain large boulders and coarse gravel and cobbles. Each of these
geologic conditions could result in exploration difficulties and /or refusal. While hollow -stem auger
(HSA) exploration is preferred due to its ability to economically gather subsurface samples, HSA
exploration may be refused due to bedrock and /or boulders. An alternative to HSA exploration is air
rotary exploration, which can penetrate bedrock and boulders. STRATA outlined exploration
limitations and provided two subsurface exploration options in our March 1, 2013 proposal, and we
understand, after reviewing prior utility cuts and excavations on -site, the City requested subsurface
exploration be conducted with the HSA method. This revised proposal assumes subsurface
exploration will be performed with the HSA method.
PROJECT APPROACH
We propose to explore the site using a series of borings to evaluate the subsurface conditions
and to obtain soil samples. We intend to explore the site after morning traffic, but before the late
afternoon commute (9 am to 3 pm). STRATA will subcontract certified traffic control services and will
submit a traffic control plan for City review.
You requested STRATA accomplish 5 exploratory borings at the project site. We understand
however, exploration cannot occur in the residence area until the private residence is acquired. Due
to funding processes, design must progress concurrently with property acquisition and final
geotechnical information is necessary to allow for design to progress as a parallel path. Therefore,
you requested STRATA advance accessible exploration locations immediately (4 of the 5 locations)
to provide design recommendations and a final report. Following property acquisition, we will
supplement our report with additional exploration (1 additional location) and issue a revised report or
addendum. Therefore, we propose to accomplish our services as 2 primary tasks:
Task 1: Geotechnical Engineering Evaluation — This task will include accomplishing 4 borings to a
depth of approximately 6.5 feet to gather pavement subgrade support information. We will accomplish
laboratory testing including 1 subgrade resilient modulus test and accomplish ACP design to provide
recommendations for an asphalt pavement section via a written report.
Task 2: Additional Exploration — Upon direction from the City, STRATA will remobilize our staff and
drilling subcontractor to accomplish 1 additional exploration near the proposed stormwater swale
north of the residence to a depth of 20 feet to supplement our Task 1 data. STRATA will provide a
report addendum including the additional exploration information and stormwater disposal
recommendations for the project.
STRATA's pavement design approach will include working closely with the City during design
to discuss pavement input parameters and we intend on performing analyses using AASHTO design
methodology and a software program called DarWIN. We understand the City will provide equivalent

single -axle loads (ESALs) and desired pavement section design criteria. Our report will outline the
design input parameters we used and summarize our pavement section design findings and
earthwork recommendations.
SCOPE OF SERVICE
To develop this scope of service, we discussed the project with you, performed a site visit and
reviewed our prior services in the project area. Referencing the above project understanding and
approach, we propose the following scope of service:
Task 1 — Geotechnical Engineering Evaluation
1. STRATA will visit the site to establish exploration locations in areas acceptable to the City and
also to paint the proposed locations prior to utility locating. STRATA will contact a regional
utility notification service ( "One - Call ") prior to exploration for utilities within 50 feet of proposed
boring locations. STRATA cannot be responsible for damage or repair to improperly marked
utilities. Due to the potential for inclement weather, snow may mask utility markings and
require a flexible exploration schedule in the event utility marks are not visible.
2. STRATA will subcontract certified traffic control to divert and direct traffic during our work.
STRATA' subcontractor will provide signage, cones and flaggers during drilling and patching
activities that occur within the roadway. At least 5 business days prior to exploration, we will
provide a traffic control plan for City review and approval. We respectfully request the City
provide traffic control plan comments and approval at least 2 days prior to exploration. We
assume no City access permits are required for exploration.
STRATA will subcontract to advance 4 exploratory borings in locations as shown on your
proposed exploration plan provided February 21, 2013. Minor location alterations may occur
and we will meet on site to discuss these with you prior to marking locations in the field for
utility locating. We will advance 4 borings to a depth of 6.5 feet below the existing pavement.
We will cut asphalt to a larger dimension than the augers to prevent asphalt lifting from
subsurface cobbles. Select soil samples will be obtained. Borings will be backfilled using
granular soil and tamped using the drill augers and /or hand equipment. We will remove
excess cuttings from the site and sweep up excess soil from the boring area prior to patching.
Borings will receive a minimum 6 -inch thick quick- setting, high- strength grout patch finished
level with the existing asphalt surface. If bedrock or coarse conditions cause auger refusal up
to a depth of 4 feet, we will attempt to readvance the boring up to 2 more times in adjacent
locations. If we encounter refusal between depths of 4 feet and 6.5 feet, we will not re-
advance the boring, as a 4 foot depth is sufficient for our geotechnical analysis.
4. STRATA will complete the following laboratory testing program referencing ASTM
International test standards:
• 3 to 4 percent passing the No. 200 sieve tests
1 grain size distribution
1 Modified Proctor
• 1 to 2 Atterberg Limits tests
1 Resilient Modulus NO test (Per the City of Spokane Valley Resilient Modulus
Testing Protocol)
We will retain soil samples obtained during exploration for 90 days following submittal of our
final report unless we receive written notification to retain the samples for a longer time
period.

6 Additional Recommended Services
6. STRATA will prepare a geotechnical engineering evaluation report. The report will provide a
summary of exploration, outline the subsurface conditions encountered, present laboratory
test results, summarize our analyses and findings, and present our resulting geotechnical
opinions and recommendations. We propose to provide a site plan, exploratory boring logs
and design analysis software outputs. We will provide a draft report to the City for their
review. After receiving review comments and meeting with the City to discuss, we will provide
4 hard copies and 1 electronic copy of our report.
Task 2 — Additional Exploration
1. STRATA will visit the site to establish 1 additional exploration location in an area acceptable
to the City and also to paint the proposed location prior to utility locating. STRATA will contact
a regional utility notification service ( "One - Call ") prior to exploration for utilities within 50 feet
of proposed boring location. STRATA cannot be responsible for damage or repair to
improperly marked utilities. We do not propose to provide traffic control for this additional
boring, based on its anticipated location.
2. STRATA will subcontract to advance 1 additional exploratory boring near the proposed swale
north of the existing residence. Minor location alterations may occur and we will discuss these
with you prior to marking locations in the field for utility locating. We will advance the boring to
a depth of 20 feet below the existing ground. Select soil samples will be obtained. Borings will
be backfilled using granular soil and tamped using the drill augers and /or hand equipment.
We will remove excess cuttings from the site. If we encounter refusal up to a depth of 10 feet,
we will attempt to re- advance the boring up to 2 more times in adjacent locations. If we
encounter refusal at depths between 10 feet and 20 feet, we will not re- advance the boring.
3. STRATA will provide 1 report addendum including the additional boring information and
recommendations for the following:
d% Stormwater Disposal per the SRSM
• Allowable infiltration rate for swales
• Recommended infiltration soil
• Drywell outflow rate (if drywells are feasible)
• Stormwater disposal hazards and site drainage considerations
• Anticipated impacts to downgradient properties

Exhibit H
Title VI Assurances
During the performance of this AGREEMENT, the CONSULTANT, for itself, its assignees, and successors in
interest agrees as follows:
1. Compliance with Regulations: The CONSULTANT shall comply with the Regulations relative to non-
discrimination in federally assisted programs of the AGENCY, Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Part

Exhibit J
Alleged Consultant Design Error Procedures
The purpose of this exhibit is to establish a procedure to determine if a consultant's alleged design error is of a
nature that exceeds the accepted standard of care. In addition, it will establish a uniform method for the resolution
and/or cost recovery procedures in those instances where the agency believes it has suffered some material damage
due to the alleged error by the consultant.
Step 1— Potential Consultant Design Error(s) is Identified by Agency's Project Manager
At the first indication of potential consultant design error(s), the fist step in the process is for the Agency's
project manager to notify the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer regarding the potential
design error(s). For federally funded projects, the Region Highways and Local Programs Engineer
should be informed and involved in these procedures. (Note: The Director of Public Works or Agency
Engineer may appoint an agency staff person other than the project manager, who has not been as
directly involved in the project, to be responsible for the remaining steps in these procedures.)
Step 2 - Project Manager Documents the Alleged Consultant Design Error(s)
After discussion of the alleged design error(s) and the magnitude of the alleged error(s), and with the
Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer's concurrence, the project manager obtains more detailed
documentation than is normally required on the project. Examples include: all decisions and
descriptions of work; photographs, records of labor, materials and equipment.
Step 3 — Contact the Consultant Regarding the Alleged Design Error(s)
If it is determined that there is a need to proceed further, the next step in the process is for the project
manager to contact the consultant regarding the alleged design errors) and the magnitude of the alleged
error(s). The project manager and other appropriate agency staff should represent the agency and the
consultant should be represented by their project manger and any personnel (including sub - consultants)
deemed appropriate for the alleged design error(&) issue.
Step 4 — Attempt to Resolve Alleged Design Error with Consultant
After the meeting(s) with the consultant have been completed regarding the consultant's alleged design
error(s), there are three possible scenarios;
It is determined via mutual agreement that there is not a consultant design error(s). If
this is the case, then the process will not proceed beyond this point.
It is determined via mutual agreement that a consultant design Eror(s) occurred. If this
is the case, then the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, or their
representatives, negotiate a settlement with the consultant. The settlement would be
paid to the agency or the amount would be reduced from the consultant's agreement
with the agency for the services on the project in which
the design error took place. The agency is to provide H &LP, through the Region
DOT Revised 61059 EF Exhfblt J
Local Programs Engineer, a summary of the settlement for review and to make
adjustments, if any, as to how the settlement affects federal reimbursements. No
further action is required.
There is not a mutual agreement regarding the alleged consultant design error(s). The
consultant may request that the alleged design error(s) issue be forwarded to
the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer for review. If the Director of
Public Works or Agency Engineer, after review with their legal counsel, is not able
to reach mutual agreement with the consultant, proceed to Step S.
Step 5 — Forward Documents to Highways and Local Programs
For federally funded projects all available information, including costs, should be forwarded through the
Region Highways and Local Programs Engineer to H &LP for their review and consultation with
the FHWA. H &LP will meet with representatives of the agency and the consultant to review the
alleged design error(s), and attempt to find a resolution to the issue. If necessary, H &LP will
request assistance from the Attorney General's Office for legal interpretation. H &LP will also
identify how the alleged error(s) affects eligibility of project costs for federal reimbursement.
If mutual agreement is reached, the agency and consultant adjust the scope of work
and costs to reflect the agreed upon resolution. H &LP, in consultation with FHWA,
will identify the amount of federal participation in the agreed upon
resolution of the issue.
If mutual agreement is not reached, the agency and consultant may seek settlement
by arbitration or by litigation.
Exhibit K
Consultant Claim Procedures
The purpose of this exhibit is to describe a procedure regarding claim(s) on a consultant agreement. The following
procedures should only be utilized on consultant claims greater than $1,000. If the consultant's claim(s) are a total
of $1,000 or less, it would not be cost effective to proceed through the outlined steps. It is suggested that the
Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer negotiate a fair and reasonable price for the consultant's claim(s)
that total $1,000 or less.
This exhibit will outline the procedures to be followed by the consultant and the agency to consider a potential
claim by the consultant.
Step 1— Consultant Files a Claim with the Agency Project Manager
If the consultant determines that they were requested to perform additional seivices that were outside of the
agreement's scope of work, they may be entitled to a claim. The first step that must be completed is the
request for consideration of the claim to the Agency's project manager.
The consultant's claim must outline the following:
• Summation of hours by classification for each firm that is included in the claim;
• Any correspondence that directed the consultant to perform the additional work;
• Timeframe of the additional work that was outside of the project scope;
• Summary of direct labor dollars, overhead costs, profit and reimbursable costs associated with
the additional work; and
• Explanation as to why the consultant believes the additional work was outside of the
agreement scope of work.
Step 2 — Review by Agency Personnel Regarding the Consultant's Claim for Additional Compensation
After the consultant has completed step 1, the next step in the process is to forward the request to the
Agency's project manager. The project manager will review the consultant's claim and will met with
the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer to determine if the Agency agrees with the claim. If
the FHWA is participating in the project's funding, forward a copy of the consultant's claim and the
Agency's recommendation for federal participation in the claim to the WSDOT Highways and Local
Programs through the Region Local Programs Engineer. If the claim is not eligible for federal
participation, payment will need to be from agency funds.
If the Agency project manager, Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, WSDOT Highways and
Local Programs (if applicable), and FHWA (if applicable) agree with the consultant's claim, send a
request memo, including backup documentation to the consultant to either supplement the agreement,
or create a new agreement for the claim. After the request has been approved, the Agency shall write
the supplement and /or new agreement and pay the consultant the amount of the claim. Inform the
consultant that the final payment for the agreement is subject to audit. No further action in needed
regarding the claim procedures.
DOT Form sed 8 059 EF Exhibit K
If the Agency does not agree with the consultant's claim, proceed to step 3 of the procedures.
Step 3 —Preparation of Support Documentation Regarding Consultant's Claim(s)
If the Agency does not agree with the consultant's claim, the project manager shall prepare a summary
for the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer that included the following:
• Copy of information supplied by the consultant regarding the claim;
Agency's summation of hours by classification for each firm that should be included in the
claim;
• Any correspondence that directed the consultant to perform the additional work;
Agency's summary of direct labor dollars, overhead costs, profit and reimbursable costs
associated with the additional work;
• Explanation regarding those areas in which the Agency does /does not agree with the
consultant's claim(s);
• Explanation to describe what has been instituted to preclude future consultant claim(s); and
• Recommendations to resolve the claim.
Step 4 — Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer Reviews Consultant Claim and Agency
Documentation
The Director of Pubic Works or Agency Engineer shall revieNv and administratively approve or
disapprove the claim, or portions thereof, which may include getting Agency Council or
Commission approval (as appropriate to agency dispute resolution procedures). If the project
involves federal participation, obtain concurrence from WSDOT Highways and Local Programs
and FHWA regarding final settlement of the claim. If the claim is not eligible for federal
participation, payment will need to be from agency funds.
Step 5 — Informing Consultant of Decision Regarding the Claim
The Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer shall notify (in writing) the consultant of their final
decision regarding the consultant's claim(s). Include the final dollar amount of the accepted claim
(s) and rationale utilized for the decision.
Step 6 — Preparation of Supplement or New Agreement for the Consultant's Claim(s)
The agency shall write the supplement and /or new agreement and pay the consultant the amount of the
claim. Inform the consultant that the final payment for the agreement is subject to audit.
