In this proposal we present a description of our understanding of the project, an outline of the scope of services we are to provide, and a fee schedule and estimate of charges for these services. Project Description Ten new light standards are to be constructed around athletic fields which will be built in the park. Grading of the park will include revising the existing shoreline of the pond/wetlands. The grading plan indicates that there would be filling along the west shoreline to permit construction of one of the athletic fields, and excavation of the shoreline in the southeast corner of the pond. The general area of the athletic fields is a filled-in marsh, as identified on the Soil Conservation Service Soil Survey map for Hennepin County. Thus, we anticipate relatively poor soil conditions. These conditions would be important relative to the design of the foundations for the light standards. Although the light standards do not have an extremely heavy downward axial loads, the horizontal shear and overturning moments can be fairly significant. A common type of foundation used for these light standards, if the soil conditions are suitable, is a straight shaft drilled pier. Alternatively, a spread footing could be used, or driven piles could be used. Field Exploration Because of the anticipated deep organic soils and shallow groundwater on this site, we believe that driven pile foundations may be required, and the field exploration should be oriented towards this design. GEOTECHNICAL • MATERIALS* ENVIRONMENTAL SOILS WILLIAM C. KWASNY, P.E. THOMAS P VENEMA, P.E. KENNETH J. LaFONO, P.E. WILLIAM E. BLOEMENDAL, P.E. An Equal Opportunity Employer Mr. Mark Hanson 2 May 25, 1990 Further, the design of the fill on the west side of the pond must take into consideration the possibility of shear failure of the organic soils under the weight of the fill. The grading plan indicates that as much as 6 to 8 feet of fill would be required in a small bay on the west side of the pond. This weight of fill would be sufficient to fail weak organic soils in shear, causing movement of the fill and mud waves in the bottom of the pond. Consequently, we anticipate the need for relatively deep borings, penetrating through the organic soils and at least 30 feet into suitable non-organic soils. You requested that we drill at three of the light standard locations. At the location farthest to the southeast, we would be able to drive an all-terrain drill rig relatively close to the proposed location. This area will eventually be filled in, but as of the date of this proposal, it is part of the open marsh and we would not be able to drive into the standing water of the marsh to drill. Because of the absence of horizontal control on the site, we would ask that a BRA survey crew locate the borings; we assume that the survey crew could also determine surface elevations at the borings. If borings for the light standards were located in non-organic soils, we would drill to depths of 20 feet. Because of the organic soils on this site and the distinct possibility that deep foundations would be needed, we recommend drilling at least 30 feet into non-organic soils, in anticipation of presenting recommendations for driven pile foundations. While relatively light pile capacities would probably be suitable (possibly on the order of 10 tons per pile), we still recommend drilling at least 30 feet into the non-organic soils. We plan to use a CME 750 all-terrain rig for the borings. Our crew will keep logs noting methods of drilling and sampling, along with Standard Penetration Values, preliminary soil classifications, and observed water levels. Representative portions of recovered samples will be sealed in jars and returned to our laboratory for final examination and classification by a Geotechnical Engineer. The boreholes will be backfilled with cuttings after drilling. Geotechnical Report In our laboratory, a Geotechnical Engineer will examine and classify the samples and prepare the boring logs and report. We will describe the soil and groundwater conditions and present recommendations for feasible methods of foundation earthwork design and construction. We will evaluate whether straight shaft drilled piers or spread footing foundations would be suitable for the light towers. If these do not appear to be suitable, and if the alternative for driven piles appears feasible, we will present recommendations for pile types, estimated capacities, and estimated depths of driving. We will also discuss the estimated parameters for determining the lateral capacity of the piles. Mr. Mark Hanson 3 May 25, 1990 We will discuss the effects of placement of additional side of the pond, relative to the shear strength of which the f ill is to be placed. The report will discussion of construction considerations related to earthwork on this site. Estimate of Charges fill on the west the soils over conclude with a foundations and Based on the scope of services outlined above (3 borings, 120 lineal feet of drilling, preparation of geotechnical report for tower foundations and fill placement, - organic soils), we estimate the charges for our services woul pe $1,920. "� If the organic soils are J iE not excessively deep and our borl not have to extend to the planned 40 feet each, our charges would be less. If deeper borings or additional borings are needed, we would contact you to discuss the reasons for modifying the scope of work and receive authorization to proceed. Final charges will be based on the scope of services required and authorized, extended at the unit prices shown on the enclosed fee schedule. Because we expect buried organic soils over most of the site, it is our opinion that two borings would be sufficient. Our cost estimate for drilling two borings to 40 feet and preparing the soil report, would be $1,590. Closure We are submitting this proposal in two copies for acceptance. When it is accepted, we ask that one copy be signed by an authorized representative of the party responsible for payment for these services, and that this copy be returned to us as our authorization to proceed. We will schedule the subsurface exploration upon receiving a signed copy of this proposal. We have enclosed our General Conditions with this proposal as part of our contract for professional engineering services. Acceptance of this proposal by the authorized signature or verbal authorization to proceed, indicates understanding and acceptance of these conditions. We also recommend that you review the enclosure from the Association of Soil and Foundation Engineers, presenting information regarding Geotechnical Engineering Proposals. During our site visit for preparation of this proposal, we observed that fill has been placed over the original wetlands. The fill appears to consist of miscellaneous materials including clay, gravel, and sand, with occasional large pieces of concrete. This proposal is not submitted for conducting an environmental assessment of the site or analyzing the environmental effects of previous fill placement. If you wish to have us prepare an environmental assessment for this project, we would be pleased to do so. Mr. Mark Hanson 4 May 25, 1990 Tf you have any questions regarding this proposal, or if we can be of further assistance to you, please contact us. sincerely, GME CONSULTANTS, INC. William C.

(hereinafter called GME) shall perform the services defined in this contract, and shall invoice the client for those services at the rates shown on the attached FEE SCHEDULE, Any estimate of cost to the Client as stated in this contract shall not be considered as a firm figure, but only as an estimate, unless otherwise specifically stated in the contract. GME will provide additional services under this contract, as required to complete the engineer- ing assignment, and /or as authorized by the Client and requested by the Client with charges for those' additional services at the stated rates. 11. Soil Boring Locations and Elevations It is desirable for GME to use its expertise in determining the number, depth, and locations of borings. However, it is understood that the Client may specify the number, location, or depth of borings. GME agrees to follow the Client's specifications to the extent practical. If the Client specifies the number, depth or locations of borings, Client agrees to accept the risk associated therewith, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless GME from the claims of others arising therefrom. To the extent that the Client does not specify the number, locations or depth of borings, such will be selected by GME personnel. GME will determine the ground surface elevations at the boring locations. If a bench mark is not available on the site, the elevations may be estimated from the topographic map (if one is provided). In using survey data provided by the Owner (for horizontal and vertical control), GME assumes no liability or responsibility to verify the accuracy of the survey data; we assume the survey data and /or bench mark elevations are correct as given. When GME uses a bench mark provided by the local municipality, county, or the state, we likewise assume no liability or responsibility in verifying the correctness of the elevation. Since GME Consultants does not practice in the profession of land surveying, boring locations will be located in the field within the accuracy feasible. When the property lines are not surveyed and staked it may be necessary to approximately locate the borings by reference to available landmarks and landforms. In some cases, GME will request the Owner to either survey the boring locations before drilling starts, or after the completion of drilling. Such surveying will be carried out at no cost to GME. The boring locations shown on the Soil Boring Location Diagram are to be construed as approximate locations only. Ill. Access to Site Unless otherwise agreed, the Client will furnish GME with right -of- access to the site in order to conduct the planned exploration or field service. GME will take reasonable precautions to minimize damage due to its operations. GME has not included in the estimated charges the cost of restoration of any damage resulting from the operations, and will not be liable for such damage. If the Client directs, GME will restore the site and add the cost of restoration to the charges in accordance with personnel and equipment rates indicated on the FEE SCHEDULE. IV. Samples All samples remaining after tests are conducted will be discarded 30 days after submission of the report unless the Client advises GME, in writing, to the contrary. Upon request, the sample will be delivered or shipped at the Client's expense. V. Reports GME will furnish` three (3) copies of each report to the Client. The Client will be billed for additional copies at the rate of $25.00; per copy. All reports, borings, logs, field 'data, field notes, laboratory test date, calculations, estimates, and other documents prepared; by GME, as instructions of service, shall remain the property of GME. Client agrees that all reports and other work furnished to the Client or his agents which are not paid for, will be returned !upon demand and will not be used by the Client for any purpose whatsoever. GME will retain all pertinent records relating to the services performed for a period of five years following submission of the report, during which period the records will be made available to the Client at all reasonable times. VI. Invoices will be submitted monthly. Payment is due upon receipt of invoice. Interest will be added beginning 30 days after the date of the invoice at the rate of 1' /2%' per month, but not to exceed the maximum rate by law. For extended projects, the bilking rates as described in this contract may be increased on each anniversary of the date of this Contract at an annual rate not to exceed 10 %. V11. GME is protected by Workers' Compensation Insurance (and /or employer's liability insurance) and by public liability insurance for bodily injury and property damage, and will furnish certificates of insurance upon request. If the Client requests increased insurance coverage, GME will take' out additional insurance, if obtainable, at the Clients expense, but shall have no liability beyond the limits and conditions of the insurance coverage. Vill. Limitation of Liability The Client recognizes the inherent risks connected with construction and the potential for variations in subsurface conditions. In performing it's professional services, GME will use not less than that degree of care and skill ordinarily; exercised, under similar circumstances, by reputable members of its profession practicing in the 'same or similar locality. No other warranty,; express or implied, is made or intended by the proposal for consulting services or by furnishing oral or written reports or the finding made, and this statement may not be modified except in writing by authorized signature. GME CONSULTANTS, INC. Vlll. limited Liability (continued) In the event that GME would be held liable for damage due to professional negligence, such liability will be limited to an amount not to exceed $20,000 or the fee, whichever is greater. In the event that Client does not wish to limit GME's i professional liability, GME agrees to waive this limitation upon written notice from the Client received within five (5) days iafter the date this agreement is fully executed, and the Client agrees to pay an additional consideration equiva- lent to ten percent (10 %) of the total fee, said consideration to be called "Waiver of Limitation of Professional Liability Charge." This charge will in no way be construed as being a charge for insurance of any type but will be increased consideration for greater risk involved in performing work for which there is no limitation of liability. Further, Client agrees to notify any contractor or subcontractor who may perform work in connection with any design, report or study prepared by GME of such limitation of professional liability, and to require as a condition to their' performing their work, a like indemnity or limitation on their part as against GME: In the event the Client fails to obtain a like limitation of liability, client agrees to indemnify GME for any excess liability to any third person. Under no circumstances shall GME be liable for extra costs or other consequences due to "changed conditions" or for costs related to the failure of others to install materials or perform work in accordance with the plans and specifica- tions IX. Hazardous Waste Indemnification For services' involving or relating to hazardous waste elements of this Agreement, it is agreed that the Owner shall indemnify and hold' harmless GME Consultants, Inc. and its agents and employees from and against all claims, damages, losses, and expenses, direct and indirect, or consequential damages, including but not limited to fees and charges of attorneys and court and arbitration costs, arising out of or resulting from the performance of the work by GME, or claims against GME arising from the work of others, related to hazardous waste. The above indemnification provision extends to claims against GME consultants, Inc. which arise out of, are related to, or are based upon, the dispersal, discharge', escape, release or saturation of smoke, vapors, soot, fumes, acids, alkalis, toxic chemicals, liquids, gases or any other' material, irritant, contaminant or pollutant in or into the atmosphere, or on, onto, upon, in or into the surface or surfaces (a) soil, (b) water or watercourses, (c) objects, or (d) any tangible or intangible matter, whether sudden or not. X: Lien Rights GME hereby gives notice that it retains the right to submit alien against the subject property in the event of non- payment of invoices. The lient will be prepared and filed in accordance with pertinent laws of the state. XI GME Consultants, Inc. is an equal opportunity employer. XII Tax on Services The amount of any excise, VAT, or gross receipts tax (local, state or federal) that may be imposed, shall be additional compensation to the actual billings for service, and the client agrees that he shall pay the full amount of billings plus the tax.

BLOEMENDAL, RE. An Equal Opportunity Employer IMP INFO ABOUTYOU GEOTEC More construction problems are caused by site subsurface conditions than any other factor. As troublesome as sub- surface problems can be, their frequency and extent have been lessened considerably in recent years, thanks to the Association of Soil and Foundation Engineers (ASFE). When ASFE was founded in 1969, subsurface problems were frequently being resolved through lawsuits. In fact, the situation had grown to such alarming proportions that consulting geotechnical engineers had the worst profes- sional liability record of all design professionals. By 1980, ASFE- member consulting soil and foundation engineers had the best professional liability record. This dramatic turn -about can be attributed directly to client acceptance of problem - solving programs and materials developed by ASFE for its mem- bers' application. This acceptance was gained because clients perceived the ASFE approach to be in their own best interests. Disputes benefit only those who earn their living from others' disagreements. The following suggestions and observations are offered to help you reduce the geotechnical- related delays, cost -over- runs and other costly headaches that can occur during a construction project. A GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT IS BASED ON A UNIQUE SET OF PROJECT - SPECIFIC FACTORS A geotechnical engineering report is based on a subsurface exploration plan designed to incorporate a unique set of project- specific factors. These typically include: the general nature of the structure involved, its size and configuration; the location of the structure on the site and its orientation; physical concomitants such as access roads, parking lots, and underground utilities, and the level of additional risk which the client assumed by virtue of limitations imposed upon the exploratory program. To help avoid costly prob- lems, consult the geotechnical engineer to determine how any factors which change subsequent to the date of his report may affect his recommendations. Unless your consulting geotechnical engineer indicates otherwise, your geotechnical engineering report should not be used: • When the nature of the proposed structure is changed, for example, if an office building will be erected instead of a parking garage, or if a refriger- ated warehouse will be built instead of an unrefrig- erated one; • when the size or configuration of the proposed structure is altered; • when the location or orientation of the proposed structure is modified; • when there is a change of ownership, or • for application to an adjacent site. A geotechnical engineer cannot accept responsibility for problems which may develop if he is not consulted after factors considered in his report's development have changed. •:�; Site exploration identifies actual subsurface conditions only at those points where samples are taken, when they are taken. Data derived through sampling and subsequent laboratory testing are extrapolated by the geotechnical engineer who then renders an opinion about overall sub- surface conditions, their likely reaction to proposed con- struction activity, and appropriate foundation design. Even under optimal circumstances actual conditions may differ from those opined to exist, because no geotechnical en- gineer, no matter how qualified, and no subsurface explo- ration program, no matter how comprehensive, can reveal what is hidden by earth, rock and time. For example, the actual interface between materials may be far more gradual or abrupt than the report indicates, and actual conditions in areas not sampled may differ from predic- tions. Nothing can be done to prevent the unanticipated, but steps can be taken to help minimize their impact. For this reason, most experienced owners retain their geotechnical consultant through the construction stage, to identify variances, conduct additional tests which may be needed, and to recommend solutions to problems encountered on site. i CHANG Subsurface conditions may be modified by constantly - changing natural forces. Because a geotechnical engineer- ing report is based on conditions which existed at the time of subsurface exploration, construction decisions should not be based on a geotechnical engineering report whose adequacy may have been affected by time. Speak with the geotechnical consultant to learn if additional tests are advisable before construc- tion starts. Construction operations at or adjacent to the site and natural events such as floods, earthquakes or groundwater fluctuations may also affect subsurface conditions and, thus, the continuing adequacy of a geotechnical report. The geotechnical engineer should be kept apprised of any such events, and should be consulted to determine if additional tests are necessary. REP REPOK17 IS SUB O NUSINTE Costly problems can occur when other design profession- als develop their plans based on misinterpretations of a geotechnical engineering report. To help avoid these prob- lems, the geotechnical engineer should be retained to work with other appropriate design professionals to explain relevant geotechnical findings and to review the adequacy of their plans and specifications relative hu8eotechnkca| REPORT Final boring logs are developed by the ge6technical en- gineer based upon his interpret dcmof8eld|ogs(aayen+ b|edbyoiteperonnel)and|abomtoryeva|uadonoffie|d samples. Only final boring logs customarily are included in 8emtechnica| engineering reports. The logs should not under any circumstances 6o redrawn for inclusion in architectural or other design drawings, because drafters may commit errors or omissions in the transfer process. Although photo- graphic reproduction eliminates this problem, it does nothing to minimize the possibility of contractors misin- terpretating the logs during bid preparation.

The excavator must be prepared to adapt his procedures, equipment, and materials to the type of project, to weather conditions, and the structural requirements of the architect and engineer. Methods and materials used in summer may not be applicable in winter;,fill used in dry excavations may not be suitable in wet excavations or during periods of precipitation; proposed fill soil may require wetting or drying for proper placement and compaction. Conditions may also vary during the course of a project or in different areas of the site. These needs should be addressed in the project drawings and specifications. It is common to have to excavate and replace unsuitable soils below the water table for site correction. As a general rule of prudent construction technique, we recommend that excavation /backfill below the water table not be permitted, unless the excavation is dewatered. Numerous problems can develop when this procedure is attempted without dewatering. — Inability of the equipment operators and soil technicians to observe that all unsuitable soil /materials have been removed from the base of the excavation. — Inability to observe and measure that proper lateral oversizing is provided. — Inability to prevent or correct sloughing of excavation sidewalls, which can result in unsuitable soils trapped within the select backfill — Inability of the contractor to adequately and uniformly compact the backfill. — Possibility of disturbance of the suitable soils at the base of the excavation. The dewatering methods, normally chosen at the contractor's option, should follow prudent construction practice. Excavations in clay can often be dewatered with sump pits and pumps; this technique would not be applicable for excavation extending into permeable granular soil, especially for depths significantly below the water table. Dewater- ing granular soils should normally be done with well points or wells. When dewatering is needed, we strongly recommend that the procedures be discussed at pre -bid or pre- construction meetings. The dewatering technique chosen by the contractor should be reviewed by the architect and engineer before construction starts; it should not be left until excavation is under way. The selection of proper backfill materials is important when working in dewatered excavations. Even with dewatering, the base is usually wet and the contractor must be careful not to disturb the base. We recommend that the first lifts of backfill be a clean medium to course grain sand with less than 5% passing the #200 sieve. The use of silty sand, clayey sand, or cohesive /semi- cohesive soils is not recommended for such situations. The excavator should be required to submit samples of the proposed material(s) he plans to use as backfill before the fill is hauled to the site, so that it can be tested for suitability. Winter earthwork presents its own range of problems which must be overcome; the situation may be complicated by the need for dewatering discussed above. During freezing conditions, the fill used must not be frozen when delivered to the site. it also must not be allowed to freeze during or after compaction. Since the ability to work the soil while keeping it from freezing depends in part on the soil type, the specifications should require the contractor to submit a sample of his proposed fill before construc- tion starts, for laboratory testing. If the soil engineer and structural engineer determine that it is not suitable, it should be rejected. In general, silty sand, clayey sand, and cohesive /semi - cohesive soils should not be used as fill under freezing conditions. All frozen soil of any type should be rejected for use as compacted fill. It is important that compacted fill be protected from freezing after it is placed. The excavator should be required to submit a plan for protecting the soil. The plan should include details on the type and amount of material (straw, blankets, extra loose fill, topsoil, etc.) proposed for use as frost protection. The need to protect the soil from freezing is ongoing throughout construction and applies both before and after concrete is placed, until backfilling for final frost protection is completed. Foundations placed on frozen soil can experience heaving and significant settlement, rota- tion, or other movement as the soil thaws. Such movement can also occur if the soil is allowed to freeze after the concrete is placed and then allowed to thaw. The higher the percentage of fines (clay and silt, P -200 material) in the fill, the more critical is the need for protection from freezing. G E CONSULTANTS, INC. The contractor should be required to adjust the moisture content of the soil to within a narrow range near the optimum moisture content (as defined by the applicable Proctor orAASHTO Test). In general, fill should be placed within about 2% of optimum. The need for moisture control is more critical as the percentage of fines increases. Naturally - occurring clayey sand or cohesive /semi- cohesive soil are often much wetter than the optimum. Placing and attempting to compact such soils to the specified density may difficult, or not possible. Even if compacted to the specified density, excessively wet soils may not be suitable as floor slab or pavement subgrades due to pumping under applied load. This is especially true when wet cohesive /semi - cohesive soil is used as backfill in utility trenches under streets. Excessively wet soil in thick fill sections may cause post - construction settlement beyond that estimated for fill placed at or near (±2 %) the optimum moisture content. An exception to this would be low permeability soil placed as a pond liner or for a dam. Such soil should usually be placed at 2% to 4% above the optimum moisture content, to provide for a lower insitu permeability. Also, shrinking/ swelling soils (expansive clay) should be placed at about 2% to 4% above` optimum` moisture to reduce the possibility of soil expansion. Clayey silt, silt, or very silty fine sand should be placed excessively dry. Such soils can undergo post - construction consolidation upon being wetted, even if the specified density had been achieved. This is caused by the collapse of flocculant soil particle arrangement, and can result in settlement of buildings or slabs constructed over the soil. Proper control of fill soil moisture is the responsibility of the excavator. The excavator should evaluate the need for wetting or drying the soils, based either on the data in the soil report, or his own site testing. If the excavator is bringing in off -site fill, it is also his responsibility to evaluate the moisture content of the soil, and the need for wetting or drying. We recommend that this matter be addressed in the project specifications. CONSTRUCTION ON COMPACTED SOIL After the select fill has been placed, compacted, and tested, it must be maintained and protected in order to properly support structures. The suitability of compacted fill soil can be greatly diminished if it is allowed to freeze, become saturated while unconfined (such as in footing excavations or at the surface of slab /placement subgrade), or disturbed by construction equipment. The responsibility for protecting the soil, or for correcting any disturbance, should be clearly defined in the specifica- tions. Soils which become wet and soft after compaction testing do not necessarily reflect inaccurate field density tests. Especially with non - expansive cohesive /semi - cohesive soils, saturation when unconfined can severely reduce the shear strength while the density remains adequate. The reduced shear strength can cause footings, floor slabs, or pavements to settle or fail under load. We strongly recommend that all pavement subgrade be test rolled (MN /DOT Specification 2111) immediately before paving to determine if the subgrade has not been protected and soft spots have developed. FLOOR SLAB SUBCRADE AND UTILITY TRENCHES This facet of construction presents special problems, especially if the slab subgrade is allowed to freeze. When the soil thaws, it undergoes a period of temporarily lower shear strength. Floor slabs should not be cast over soil in such a weakened or frozen condition (reference pertinent PCA and ACI publications). To do so can result in cracked and failing slabs. The time period to heat and thaw a building may place the construction schedule and /or costs in jeopardy. We strongly recommend that this matter be reviewed in pre -bid and pre - construction meetings. Backfilling of utility trenches in the floor slab subgrade can be difficult. If the soil is wet, compaction to the specified density may be difficult, or not possible. The narrowly cut trenches may preclude the use of proper compaction equipment. With the use of small equipment in confined areas, the contractor must place the soil in thin lifts (4 to 6 inches), with the soil at the proper moisture content. This work is typically carried out by contractors other than the mass grading or earthwork contractor. We strongly recommend that the responsibility to carry out the compaction be clearly detailed in the applicable section of the specifications, and reviewed with the appropriate contractor and subcontractor.
