Based on the assumptions our total estimated fee to perform the aforementioned tests and services
is detailed above. It should be noted that this proposal is based on the estimated number of tests and
quantities mentioned in this proposal and not a lump sum price. The construction sequence or job
conditions may require more or fewer testing or observation. Only work which is actually performed
will be charged for and all charges will be in accordance with the corresponding unit fees quoted in
this proposal or our Schedule of Fees.
We understand we have been selected for this project and therefore,when providing this estimate,
we are not in violation of laws governing procurement of professional engineering services with
public entities.
