Re: 
Fee Proposal  
 
El Mirage Public Works Building, El Mirage, Arizona 
 
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.

6. 
Include all necessary documentation for permit submittal as required by 
reviewing jurisdiction. 
7. 
During the design development phase, review of relevant specifications 
generated by others. 
8. 
Review and coordinate between final Architectural drawings, as necessary, for 
accuracy and correctness. 
9. 
Review and address building department comments for building permit 
issuance, coordinate revisions with Architect, revise and digitally re-plot all 
drawings and calculations affected. 
10. 
General Construction Administration, including complete review of relevant shop 
drawings and material submittals, coordinated with Architect, for conformance 
with construction documents. 
11. 
Provide responses to construction-related questions and RFIs, including review 
and response to General Contractor change order requests (CORs), and provide 
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.

The standard of care for all professional services performed or furnished by Consultant under 
this Agreement will be the skill and care used by members of Consultant’s profession 
practicing under similar circumstances at the same time and in the same locality.  Consultant 
makes no warranties, express or implied, under this Agreement or otherwise, in connection 
with Consultant’s services. 
 
We have established our reputation for being a different kind of structural design firm - one that 
is creative, design based, cost-conscious and responsive.  All consulting engineering are 
provided with the consensus standard of care for the profession. 
 
Yours truly,

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.
