Proposal No. 04-6257
Dear Ms. Taylor:
Rone Engineers, Ltd. (Rone) understands that we have been selected based solely
on our qualifications and that the City of Coppell is currently negotiating scope and
fees with only Rone at this time for quality control services for the referenced
project. For the purpose of this proposal, we have estimated quantities and tests
that will be required in accordance with the Plans and Specifications. This is only
an estimate for budgetary purposes. The actual costs for CMT services can
decrease or increase with changes in the scope of work or with the contractor's
work method. Rone's total fee will be based on the actual amount of technician
time and laboratory testing required for the project. These services will be
performed on a unit price basis in accordance with the attached Schedule of
Services and Fees.
Rone meets the requirements of ASTM E329 and is an active participant in the
CCRL and AASHTO sample proficiency programs and is currently AASHTO
certified. Rone has experienced personnel to perform the necessary CMT services
in accordance with the project specifications.
By execution of this proposal, the undersigned Client acknowledges and agrees that
the document entitled "Terms and Conditions" has been provided or made available
to Client and Client agrees that such Terms and Conditions shall be applied to the
present Proposal and shall be fully binding upon Client. The Terms and Conditions
are fully incorporated into this Proposal by reference as if set forth at length.
We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal for CMT services and look
forward to working with you during the construction phase of this project. If there
are any questions concerning this proposal or if we can be of further assistance,
