Dear Randy:
We are pleased to present to you this proposal for consulting design services covering the
structural engineering for this project. The scope of the work is as described in your email of
July 26th. The scope includes
The design of a new 6,400 square foot Public Works building. The construction is
anticipated to be of masonry load bearing walls and a wood trussed roof.
The construction budget is estimated at $1.25M.
As a design-based consulting firm, it is our desire to create structures that work in harmony
with the architecture. For this project, we propose to provide the following services as a portion
of the basic design contract:
1.
Assist in development of appropriate and acceptable structural systems for the
proposed building during the schematic and design development phases.
2.
During the design development and construction document phases, prepare all
required structural drawings and details to be incorporated in the final project
set. This includes the General Structural Notes, plans, sections, and details, in
conformance with all relevant codes, ordinances and guidelines.
The construction documents will be produced using Revit software.
4.
During the construction document phase, prepare all final Structural design
calculations reflecting the final design.
5.
Include electronic plotting as required for necessary coordination. Progress and
Final drawings will be submitted via first generation pdfs as agreed upon with
Architect. Prepare electronic copies of calculations and review architect-created
specifications as required by reviewing jurisdiction.

clarification sketches, coordinated with Architect.
Currently excluded from this scope are:
1. Reimbursable expenses, which will be billed in conjunction with our current schedule.
2. Construction site services.
3. Special Structural Inspections – we will provide an estimate for this service.
The items currently excluded from this proposal may be included under a separate contract or
as an addendum to this proposal.
For the scope of project, as described above, we propose a fixed fee of $10,400 (Ten
Thousand and Four Hundred Dollars).
It is typically the policy that invoices are paid within 15 days of corresponding payment from
the owner. A fee of 1.5% per month will be applied to late payments that go uncollected for
more than 90 days, calculated from the invoice date.
Limitation of liability: In recognition of the relative risks and benefits of the Project to both the
Client and Consultant, the risks have been allocated such that the Client agrees, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, to limit the liability of the Consultant to the Client for any and all claims,
losses, costs, damages of any nature whatsoever or claims expenses from any cause or
causes, including attorneys’ fees and costs and expert-witness fees and costs, so that the total
aggregate liability of the Consultant to the Client shall not exceed the Consultant’s total fee for
service rendered on this Project.. It is intended that this limitation apply to all liability or cause
of action however alleged or arising, unless otherwise prohibited by law.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Based on information provided, the proposed development will consist of an approximately
6,400 square‐foot single‐story, slab‐on‐grade office structure using masonry and/or frame
construction. Maximum wall and column loads are assumed to be 3 klf and 50 kips,
respectively. We anticipate no extraordinary slab‐on‐grade criteria and that ground floor level
will be within a few feet of existing site grade. On‐site asphalt paved areas for parking and
driveways and rigid pavement sections for loading/unloading and dumpster areas will be
constructed. Surface stormwater retention basins may also be constructed. Any off‐site
improvements have not been included as part of this evaluation. The Client will notify WT
should any of our information or assumptions not be correct.

PURPOSE
The purpose of our geotechnical engineering services will be to evaluate the subsurface
conditions to provide recommendations and/or discussion for the following:
Foundation design parameters, including footing types, depths, allowable bearing
capacities, and estimated settlements
Lateral earth pressures
Earthwork, including site preparation, fill placement, and suitability of existing soils for fill
materials
Drainage
Seismic considerations
Corrosivity
Excavation conditions
Geologic hazards

SCOPE OF SERVICES
3.1
Field Exploration
We will conduct the following subsurface exploration program that is based on the project
description and our knowledge of the general soil conditions in the area:
Building Areas ‐
Two test borings to depths of approximately 20 to 25 feet below the
existing site grades.
Pavement Areas ‐
Two test borings to depths of approximately 5 feet below the existing
site grades.
All explorations will be advanced to the depths outlined unless refusal to auger drilling is
encountered. A field engineer or geologist will log the borings, record blow counts of
penetration tests, and obtain undisturbed and representative samples of soils encountered
as conditions dictate.
If requested, WT will also perform infiltration tests in the proposed stormwater retention basin
at depths of up to 3 feet below the existing ground surface. The quantity of testes will be
determined by the Client. Test procedures will be in general accordance with the requirements
of the Maricopa County Drainage Policies and Standards utilizing ASTM D3385, Standard Test
Method for Infiltration Rate of Soils in Field Using Double‐Ring Infiltrometer. The fees for this
testing are provided below.
3.2
Laboratory Testing
A geotechnical engineer will examine the samples and field logs and assign the laboratory
tests. The following laboratory tests may be performed:
Field moisture content
In‐situ soil density
Swell potential
Maximum density‐optimum moisture relationship
Compression
Sieve analysis
Liquid Limit and Plasticity Index
Water soluble sulfate content
pH and minimum resistivity
3.3
Analyses and Report
We will prepare a geotechnical engineering report that includes a description of the project,
a discussion of the field and laboratory testing programs, a discussion of the subsurface
conditions, and design recommendations as required to satisfy the purpose previously
described.

SCHEDULE
We will proceed with geotechnical engineering services upon receipt of a signed contract
with an electronic (pdf) copy of our report submitted about 2 to 3 weeks after completion
of the field work. Verbal recommendations can be provided before the written report is
submitted. Please inform us if this schedule does not meet your requirements.
5.0
ASSUMPTIONS
The following assumptions were made in preparation of this proposal:
A scaled site plan will be supplied by the Client
Any necessary permits will be provided by the Client
The site is accessible to two‐wheel drive vehicles
Groundwater will not be encountered
The proposed borings will be used for geotechnical exploration and sampling only. No
environmental information or data will be gathered or generated
We will contact Arizona811 prior to mobilizing to the site. This service marks only the primary
utility lines in the roadway and dedicated utility easements and usually does not locate tributary
lateral lines on private property. WT requires the Client to provide all necessary information
and drawings identifying the location of any underground lines or structures that may be on the
subject property. The cost of repair of unknown, unmarked, or improperly marked utilities
damaged during the work, subsequent loss of service, and damage to WT equipment shall be
borne by the Client. A private utility locator can be retained if necessary and the costs of their
services invoiced in addition to the fee quoted herein.
WT assumes that the Client will obtain permission to enter onto the site for our drilling
equipment and personnel. Moving the drilling equipment around the site and drilling the
borings will leave some areas disturbed. While WT will try to limit site disturbance, our fee does
not include re‐landscaping or otherwise restoring the site to its original condition. WT’s services
will include backfilling the borings with the auger cuttings, unless otherwise directed or
required. Over time, some settlement of the backfilled material is normal and expected. Please
inform us if your requirements are any different.
6.0
FEES
The cost of our services, for the scope set forth herein, will be a lump sum fee of $3,350. Our
fee includes discussion and interpretation of our findings with other members of the design
team, but does not include meetings concerning construction or changes in design. Unless
you sign this contract before expiration, the lump sum fee noted above is valid for 90
calendar days, after which time a review by WT will be required.

Infiltration Testing Option
Infiltration tests may be required for the proposed retention basins using test method ASTM
D3385 Double‐Ring Infiltrometer. The number of tests required varies based on the size of
the basins. Assuming a maximum depth of three feet below the existing site grade, WT will
perform double‐ring infiltration tests in the location of the proposed basins. The costs for
this test are $1,250 for the first test, plus $750 for each additional test. The quantity and
locations of the tests will be determined by the client.
7.0
MANNER OF PAYMENT
WT will invoice Client for total fees upon completion of services. Full payment is due upon
receipt of our invoice and prior to the release of the report.
8.0
NOTICE TO PROCEED
We understand that returning this signed contract will constitute permission by the owner for
our entry onto the site. The “Standard Terms and Conditions” set forth in WTI Form No. 120
(attached) are applicable and are incorporated herein. The provisions set forth in this
Contract and in the Standard Terms and Conditions shall constitute the Contract between
Client and WT with respect to the services to be provided.
