Subject: Proposal for Additional Geotechnical Exploration and Engineering Services
Pilot Facility at CCUA Mid-Clay WWTF—Stormwater Pond
Green Cove Springs, Clay County, Florida
MAE Proposal No. 013722
Dear Ms. Kumar:
MESKEL&ASSOCIATES ENGINEERING, PLLC(MAE) is pleased to present this proposal to provide the additional
geotechnical services for the subject project. Based on the information contained in your proposal request
email of March 25, 2022, we understand that a stormwater maintenance pond is now being designed at
the project site. Furthermore, we understand the existing ground surface in the pond area (TOB) is at
approximate elevation EL 64.5 feet and the bottom of the pond (BOT)will be at approximate elevation EL
58 feet.
The objective of the geotechnical exploration is to provide site and subsurface information to evaluate
the subsurface conditions at the site for the proposed construction. Based on the provided information,
to we understand the following field services are requested:
Test Location Test No. &Type Test Depth
ft below ground surface
1 SPT* 16
Pond Area
1 Field Permeability Test 6.5 to 8.5
*Standard Penetration Test(SPT) boring sampled continuously to its termination depth.
In accordance with Florida law, we will attempt to locate existing underground utilities at the site by
utilizing the Sunshine State One-Call (SSOC) system.Any private utilities not included in the SSOC system
will need to be located by the property Owner. Once the SPT boring and permeability tests are complete,
they will be backfilled with soil cuttings. We will take all reasonable precautions to prevent damage to
property and will reasonably restore the site to the condition existing prior to the start of our fieldwork.
In accordance with Florida law, we will attempt to locate existing underground utilities at the site by
utilizing the Sunshine State One-Call (SSOC)system. We will also coordinate with the CCUA representative
for the Mid-Clay facility to locate any utilities not included in the SSOC system. We will not mobilize our
equipment to the site until all utilities within the project area are located and marked.
The recovered soil samples will be described in the field by the field crew. The field log and samples will
be delivered to our laboratory where the log will be reviewed and the samples classified by a geotechnical
engineer. Laboratory classification and index property tests will be performed as necessary on selected
soil samples to confirm the soil classification and provide engineering characteristics to estimate
compressibility.
A geotechnical engineer, licensed in the State of Florida, will direct the geotechnical exploration and
provide an engineering evaluation of the subsurface conditions encountered at the boring location. The
results of the exploration and engineering evaluation will be documented in a report that will include the
following:
• Our understanding of the planned construction,
• The observed site conditions, such as topography, surface vegetation, etc. as they relate to the
anticipated construction,
• The field and laboratory test procedures used and the results obtained,
• The encountered subsurface conditions, including subsurface profiles, measured groundwater
levels, and estimated geotechnical engineering properties, as necessary,
• The in-situ soil hydraulic conductivity rates (vertical/horizontal) at a test depth range of
approximately two feet below the planned pond bottom, and
• A geotechnical engineering evaluation of the site and subsurface conditions with respect to the
anticipated construction.
Based on the scope of the services outlined above, we propose to complete our work for a lump sum fee
of$4,500.00.This fee includes submittal of an electronic copy of the report. Bound, paper copies can be
provided at an additional cost of $50 per copy. We will contact you immediately if we encounter
subsurface conditions that could require the borings to be advanced to deeper depths,and/or if additional
engineering analysis/evaluation outside the scope of this proposal is necessary.
A returned copy of the attached authorization sheet will authorize our work. Our work will be performed
to in accordance with our General Conditions,a copy of which is attached to and made a part of this proposal.
Once authorization is received, a utility locate request will be submitted. We will mobilize our field crew
to the site within 4 to 6 weeks once the utilities have been marked and located. We anticipate that the
field work will take one day to complete. Laboratory testing will take up to 3 days depending on the
amount of lab testing assigned.We expect to submit our geotechnical report 2 weeks after completion of
the field and laboratory testing.
We appreciate this opportunity to provide this proposal for your project. If you have any questions
concerning this proposal, or if we can serve you in any other way, please contact me.
Sincerely,
MESKEL&ASSOCIATES ENGINEERING,PLLC
