Phase 5 – Construction Contract Administration

Under this phase, Bohler Engineering will provide construction administration services for the proposed
improvements addressed above. During the construction process, we will provide Civil Engineering
services to review shop drawings, answer “requests for information”, conduct periodic site visits to clarify
construction issues, and provide the appropriate construction details as needed. For clarity purposes, we
will identify a listing of shop drawings which are to be reviewed by Bohler Engineering on the construction
documents. In addition, since the level of effort required for conducting construction administration services
is unknown at this time, we have developed the fee structure presented below predicated on site
construction taking approximately twelve (12) months. During this construction period, the following
allowances in our budget;
• Four (4) site visits ($750/visit)
• twenty (20) request for information ($250 each)
• twenty (20) shop drawing reviews ($250 each)
• twelve months of project team coordination including, weekly conference calls, coordination
with the Architect, GC, Fire Department and other team members as necessary ($1,500/month)

Based on our previous experience with site construction operations, we believe that this level of effort will
be sufficient to provide construction observation services for the scope of work identified. However, should
additional services be required, a revised scope of work will be submitted.

ADDITIONAL BELOW THE LINE SERVICES:

Geotechnical Engineering Investigation:

A. Geotechnical Investigation & Estimated Seasonal High Groundwater Evaluation – This phase
will include a subsurface soils investigation and prepare a summary report of findings that will
include recommendations for foundation and floor slab design, earthwork, and pavement
considerations. Additionally, test pits will be performed to determine estimated seasonal high
groundwater levels and potential restrictive zones. Specifically, the proposed investigation and
summary report will include the following:

• drilling up to 4 borings to a depth of up to 25 feet below ground surface (fbgs), or refusal,
in accessible areas within the proposed building expansion footprint;
• drilling up to 6 borings to depths of five fbgs to 10 fbgs, or refusal, in accessible areas of
proposed pavement;
• excavating up to 3 soil profile pits within areas designated by Bohler (assumed to be
existing landscaped areas) to a depth of 12 fbgs, or refusal;
• texturally classifying the soils encountered within the soil profile pits per the USDA textural
classification system and identifying indications of seasonal high groundwater such as soil
mottling as well as potential restrictive zones within the test areas;
• identifying pertinent physical and engineering characteristics of the subsurface materials
encountered during sampling and testing;
• laboratory analyses of representative soil samples specified upon evaluating the conditions
encountered and most likely including washed gradations, Atterberg limits determinations,
and moisture content tests;
• providing recommendations for the type (or types) of foundation suitable for the proposed
structure including design bearing capacity, seismic Site Class based on Standard
Penetration Testing, liquefaction potential, bearing depths and settlement estimates;
