RE: Subsurface Investigation &
Foundation Recommendations
Parcel #7
Caiinel, Indiana
Dear Mr. Olds:

Alt & Witzig Engineering, Inc. is pleased to submit our proposal to perfottu the
geotechnical investigation for the Parcel #7 Project. Since we are performing work on the Parcel #5
site, we are willing to perform services on Parcel #7 without a mobilization fee.
The purpose of our foundation investigation will be to provide information for use in
determining the most economical structurally sound foundations for the proposed structures.
Our subsurface investigation will include the following:
Determination of the general subsurface soil and groundwater
conditions at the site to the depths which may be significantly
affected by the foundations.
Determination of the engineering characteristics of the subsurface
materials encountered.
Detettnination of the type or types of foundations which may be
suitable for the support of the proposed buildings.
Providing data required for the design of possible foundation types. (
Providing recommendations regarding management of possible,
groundwater.
We propose to investigate the subsurface soil and groundwater conditions at each site by
drilling exploratory test borings. You have estimated 42 borings drilled to a depth of 35 feet each.

The foundation investigation will include laboratory testing to determine the classification,
strength, compressibility, and other characteristics of the foundation materials as necessary.
The results of our field exploration and laboratory testing would be utilized in performing
an engineering analysis in the formulation of our recommendations. The results of our foundation
investigation, including our recommendations and substantiating data, will be presented in a written
report prepared by a registered professional engineer.
It is proposed that our fee for the performance of the above outlined investigation be
determined on a lump sum basis in accordance with our Schedule of Services and Fees. Fees for
any additional services necessary would be in accordance with our Schedule of Services and Fees.
Our original proposal included a fee of $7.50 per foot of drilling. The following is an itemized
account of the estimated fees used to arrive at a lump sum figure:
Mobilization of Personnel and Equipment
(including clearing utilities and permits)
Drilling of Exploratory Test Borings 1470 lft @ $7.50
(including ASTM D -1586 soil sampling)
Laboratory Investigation
$No Charge
$11,025.00
$No Charge
Engineering Services $ 750.00
(analysis and report preparation)
Thus, a total fee of $11,775.00 is proposed to perform the above outlined services. We
guarantee not to exceed this amount without your prior approval. Again, should it be necessary to
perform additional borings, an additional fee of $7.50 per lineal feet (sampling included) would
be applicable.
Prior to commencement of drilling, the local utility companies will be contacted to provide
clearing of underground utilities. Additionally, Alt & Witzig Engineering representatives will meet
on -site in order to verify the existence of underground utilities. Thus, the boring locations will be
cleared of all underground utilities to the best of the geotechnical contractors' knowledge.
It is estimated that we could begin field operations three (3) working days after receiving
notice to proceed, weather dependent. This will allow time to clear utilities and obtain permits.
Since this is a local project and verbal recommendations are necessary soon after notice -to- proceed
is given, we propose to mobilize three drill rigs. A written report will follow fifteen (15) working
days after notice to proceed. However, if the information is needed more quickly, we are willing
to work with you to meet your needs.
