RE: Proposal and Fee Schedule for Testing-and Inspection of
MacArthur / Samuel Drainage Project
DR 00 -01
Coppell, Texas
Dear Ms. Taylor
Terra -Mar Inc., (TMI) is very pleased to be selected for the construction materials
testing and inspection services for the MacArthur / Samuel Drainage Project, located in
Coppell, Texas. Our scope of services is based on our understanding of the project
plans.
In addition to specific information provided, TMI has made some estimates regarding the
duration of the construction period in order to prepare the cost estimate. Therefore, we
request that you carefully review the on -site duration and frequency of testing to
compare with your estimated construction schedule. As you know, our cost is directly
dependent upon the time duration and construction methodology utilized.
Scope of Services
TMI proposes to provide the following Construction Materials Testing Services for the
MacArthur / Samuel Drainage Project as required by the project plans and
specifications.
Earthwork
TMI will provide a soils technician to collect on -site soil samples for proctor compaction
tests of different soil types to be used for the utility trench backfill. Soils technician will
perform inspection of materials being placed and will utilize a nuclear density gauge to
perform in -place density and moisture content test.
Concrete
TMI will provide a full time concrete technician during concrete placements. This
includes paving replacement, manholes and drop inlets. The project superintendent will
be notified of any discrepancies noted during visual observation. Concrete samples will
be taken at appropriate intervals as determined by the project specifications. Concrete

samples will be tested for temperature, entrained air content, slump, and compressive
strength.
Project Management
A Project Manager will be assigned to oversee testing and inspection for the project.
The project manager will perform site visits during each phase of construction, and
attend any meetings that require TMI to be present. The Project Manager will also
review the project reports prior to submittal to all involved parties.
Cost Estimate
Presented on Table 1 (attached) is our detailed fee costs to perform the construction
materials testing required for this project. The actual total cost of the testing program
may increase or decrease depending on specific job -site conditions. TMI will track and
provide notification of accumulated cost on a regular basis. TMI will require prior
authorization of any work that will exceed our estimate. In any case, we will honor the
prices shown on of this proposal, and will invoice on a unit rate basis for only the
services rendered.
Schedule
Terra -Mar is prepared to begin work immediately upon notification to proceed from the
project representative. We are prepared to respond to your needs with due diligence in
a timely fashion, as well as establish a level of communication and common sense,
which facilitates progress.
