Dublin,California 94568
SUBJECT: Revised Geotechnical Construction Observation and Testing Services
Phase 1 of the Emerald Glen Park Aquatic Center
4201 Central Parkway
Dublin,California
Dear Mr. Rooney:
a
BSK Associates (BSK) is pleased to submit this revised proposal to provide geotechnical observation and testing I
services during construction of the referenced project. Our services will be performed to monitor and test
conformance of the geotechnical aspects of the construction operations with the foundation and grading/earthwork
plans,specifications,and the geotechnical recommendations contained in the April 16,2014 geotechnical report'for
the project. Provided BSK is retained by the City to perform the geotechnical services described in this proposal,
including formal review of the geotechnical report and the civil and structural plans, we will assume the role of
Geotechnical Engineer-of-Record for the project.Our original proposal was issued on April 16, 2015 and has been
revised at your request so that we could incorporate the current project schedule (dated April 7, 2015) into our
estimated number of site visits during construction.
We understand that a general contractor has already been selected for the project and grading activities were due to
start this week. We have based our construction observation and testing estimate on the April 7, 2015 project
schedule,the approved construction plans dated February 10,2015 provided byyou,our brief review of the April 16,
2014 geotechnical report, and our past experience with similar projects.
Project Description
The project will include construction of an aquatics building,an outdoor sports pool,an outdoor play pool,an interior
pool,pool decks,a deck storage building,water slides,exterior concrete flatwork,parking lots,and driveways.Other
improvements will include light poles, sign posts, a score board, retaining walls, underground utilities, and bio-
detention basins. The upper 12 to 18 inches of the subgrade for the aquatics building pad, the pool decks, and
exterior concrete flatwork(including the trash enclosure apron)will be lime-treated.

Phase 1 of the Emerald Glen Aquatic Center BSK Proposal GL15-116323
4201 Central Parkway April 21, 2015
Dublin,California Page 2
Grading for the project is expected to include up to 5+ feet of cuts and 2 feet of fills to reach finished design
elevations. Three large existing earth mounds consisting of undocumented fill will be off hauled from the site.
According to the civil plans,these mounds are up to about 12 feet in height by 370 feet long by 200 feet wide.
A second phase of construction(not covered by this proposal or the April 16,2014 geotechnical report),will include
construction of a preschool building between the west side of the deck storage building and a future gymnasium.The
new gymnasium will be located between the deck storage building and the northwest wing of the aquatics building.
We anticipate earthwork operations for construction will include the following:
1. Off haul of the three existing large earth mounds;
2. Demolition of existing site improvements, including excavation and removal of several hundred
lineal feet of underground utility lines;
3. Clearing/stripping of vegetation,tree roots,and other deleterious matter;
4. Mass grading to grade the site to drain, including excavation of outdoor and indoor pools;
5. Lime-treatment of the subgrade for the aquatics building pad,the pool decks,and exterior concrete
flatwork;
I
6. Excavation of foundations for the aquatics building,outdoor play pool,water slides,retaining walls,
light poles,sign posts,score board,trash enclosure walls,and other structures;
7. Placement of backfill for retaining walls;
8. Installation of thousands of lineal feet of new underground utility lines,including trench excavation
and backfill;
9. Placement of aggregate base(AB)for exterior concrete flatwork;and
10. Subgrade preparation and placement of aggregate base(AB)for asphalt concrete(AC)pavement.
if the actual project differs significantly from that described above,specifically if the grading differs from that we
assumed,we should be contacted to review and, if needed, revise our scope of work for applicability.
Scope of Services and Fee Estirnate
Our anticipated scope of services and fee estimate listed below are based on part-time observation and testing
services during construction as noted below.We will provide our services on a time and materials,and on-call basis
in accordance with our Basis of Charges and Schedule of Fees included with this proposal.We will require 24-hour
notice for scheduling our observation and testing visits. Note that for on-call services,we rely on the Client or its
representatives(i.e.,IOR,construction manager,contractor,etc.)to schedule our visits.We have assumed that each
site visit by our soils representatives will be approximately 4 or 8 hours long(including travel)and will be carried out
during weekdays only.The minimums listed in our attached Basis of Charges will apply.If site visits are longerthan 8
hours and/or weekend/holiday work becomes necessary due to the contractor's schedule,overtime rates will apply

and engineering time would be per the fee schedule and billed forthe number of tests accomplished and the number
of hours provided.Any services required in addition to those listed would be in accordance with our current fee
schedule.We have assumed that there is no Project Labor Agreement in-place for this project.We understand that
California Prevailing Wages will apply to the project and we are a registered contractor with the California
Department of Industrial Relations(DIR).
For the scope of work outlined above,we anticipate an estimated total fee of$91,190 for geotechnical construction
observation and testing.Should the construction schedule or your requested site visits require a lesser or greater
amount of service than that estimated herein,our fees would vary accordingly.Our fee estimate does not include a
contingency for retesting or re-inspection of failing tests or unsatisfactory work by the contractor.The actual cost of
our services will depend largely on the contractor's actual schedule and progress, as well as possible impacts of
weather,work stoppages, and quality of material used,all of which are beyond our control. Proficient contractor
2 Laboratory tests are an estimate of those needed.More or less testing may be required depending on the variety of the
soils encountered,lime-treatment performed,and imported material used at the site.
BSK
Phase 1 of the Emerald Glen Aquatic Center BSK Proposal GL15-116323

performance reduces the number of test and inspection visits required,consequently resulting in lower total fees.
We are not in control of such events, nor how and when construction activities are completed,and as a result,we
can only approximate our estimates for your use.To account for such uncertainties,we suggest that a contingency
budget of at least 20 percent of the above estimated fee for construction be set aside for our services.
It is our practice to notify you if it appears our fees will exceed our estimate,but due to the timing and nature of our
services and to make sure that your project is not delayed,this may not always be possible.Our invoices however will
serve as an update of our progress as well as fees charged versus our estimate.Invoices are payable upon receipt and
deemed delinquent if not paid within 60 days. Delinquent invoices may be subject to interest/service charges,and
collection expenses including attorney's fees, at our election.
General Conditions and Agreement
6
If the above proposed scope of services meets with your agreement,please send us a City work order to our existing
on-call contract with the City or a new contract for our review and signature.
4
Acceptance of this proposal will indicate that the Client has reviewed the scope of services and determined that they
do not need or want more services than are being proposed at this time. If there is a need for any change in the
scope of services or schedule described in the proposal or in the standard contract, please call us immediately.
Changes may require revision of the estimated fees.
This proposal presents our understanding of your current needs for geotechnical observation and testing services
during construction of this project. BSK is committed to providing quality service to its clients,commensurate with
their wants and needs.If a portion of this proposal does not meet your needs,or if those needs have changed,BSK is

professionals.Modifications such as changes in scope,methodology,scheduling,and contractterms and conditions
may result in changes to the risks assumed by the Client as well as adjustments to our fees.
i
Limitations
As our Client,please recognize that construction monitoring is a technique employed to reduce the risk of problems
arising during construction. Provision of construction monitoring by an engineer is not insurance, nor does it
constitute a warranty or guarantee of any type. Even with diligent construction monitoring, some construction
defects may be missed. In all cases, the contractor shall retain responsibility for the quality of the work and for
adhering to plans and specifications and for repairing defects regardless of when they are found. We do not
undertake the guarantee of construction nor production of a completed project conforming to the project plans and
specifications.
BSK will perform its services consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by other consultants
practicing in the same discipline and locale at the time the services are performed. No other warranties, either
express or implied are provided. If changes occur in the design of the project, BSK should be notified in writing.
