II. SCOPE OF SERVICES
Services to be provided under this Agreement will include the preparation of the final construction plans
and related activities for the described project. It is anticipated that the final construction plans will be
combined into a single construction contract to be let through the Iowa DOT letting process. Changes in
the packaging of construction contracts will be considered as additional services to this scope. The scope
of services is described in more detail as follows.
Survey and Base Mapping
The tasks included under this category include supplemental field surveys and base mapping which are
required during the final design phase of the project.
Task 1 - Supplemental Design Survey. Additional design survey will be obtained for tie-in points at side
roads and for locating significant features which have changed since the preliminary design phase. The
extent of this survey will be the elements necessary for final design.
Task 2 - Locate Soil Borings. This task includes calculating the coordinates of soil borings based on the
station/offset information furnished by the geotechnical engineering firm. Soil borings will be located in the
field by conventional survey.
Task 3 - Base Mapping. This task consists of reducing the survey notes and entering the data into
the base map files. The additional survey data will be merged into the digital aerial mapping obtained
for this project.
Soil Borings and Geotechnical Engineering
The soil borings and geotechnical engineering activities will be completed byTerracon Consultants. The
scope of geotechnical engineering activities is intended to provide the necessary design recommendations
for the grading and paving for the project. The following tasks are included in this scope.
A=COM
Page 3
Task 4 - Soil Borings. Soil borings will be obtained to determine the subsurface conditions in the new
right-of-way areas beyond the existing highway. The number and depth of borings, as well as the number
and type of samples obtained, will be sufficient to complete the geotechnical engineering and
recommendations for the project.
Task 5 - Geotechnical Engineering, Report and Recommendations. The geotechnical engineering will
include the necessary laboratory testing, classifications and geotechnical engineering analysis required to
develop the final geotechnical engineering recommendations for the project.
The purpose of this task is to obtain data regarding the subsurface conditions relating to pavement
support, earthwork and subsurface drainage, and to analyze potential for low -impact drainage design. This
task will also include the final pavement thickness design and subgrade treatment recommendations for
U.S. 63 and the side streets. .
In addition to the soil borings and laboratory testing, the geotechnical engineering and CADD services
under this task will include:
• Computer -Generated Boring Logs
• Preparation of Recommendations for Subgrade Treatment
• Pavement Thickness Design and Subgrade/Subbase Preparation Recommendations
• One Report Summarizing the Information Reviewed, Conditions Encountered, Analyses
Performed and Recommendations
If safety allows, the boreholes will be left open for approximately 1 to 2 days after completion of drilling so
delayed water levels can be observed.
The client should understand that some settlement of the borehole backfill might occur. No future
maintenance or filling of the holes are included in this scope. This scope is also based on the field
exploration being performed without the need for personal protective equipment beyond Level D (hard hat,
steel -toe boots, safety glasses). If personal protective equipment or special borehole sealing procedures
become necessary, these tasks will be added by Supplemental Agreement.
Excluded from this estimate are borrow site selection and borrow design.
Deliverables will consist of a boring layout plan, boring logs and Geotechnical Engineering Report. The
final report will be sealed by an Iowa Licensed Professional Engineer.
Environmental assessment of the site or identification of contaminated or hazardous materials or
conditions is not included in this scope. Items to be provided by the client include the legal right -of -entry
(owner permission) to conduct the exploration. Terracon will contact Iowa "One Call" service to locate
public utilities.

Subsurface Exploration - Based on our understanding of the project, we anticipate our
scope of services will include performing twenty-five (25) borings at about 200 -foot intervals
staggered between north and south bound alignments, to depths of about 10 feet below
existing grades. Soil samples will be obtained using either a split -barrel sampler or thin-walled
tubes, as appropriate. During drilling, samples will be obtained at 21/2 -foot intervals. Bulk
samples will also be obtained from the auger flights. Once the samples have been collected
and classified in the field, they will be prepared and placed in appropriate sample containers for
transport to our laboratory.
Laboratory Testing - The samples will be tested in our laboratory to determine physical
engineering characteristics. Laboratory testing will be performed under the direction of a
geotechnical engineer and will include the following on appropriate portions of the samples
recovered:

Native soil samples will be visually classified in general accordance with the Unified Soil
Classification System (USCS). Additional testing could be performed, if requested.
Geotechnical Engineering Report — After the completion of the subsurface exploration and
laboratory testing, the data and conditions will be analyzed and a geotechnical engineering
report will be prepared by or under the supervision of a geotechnical engineer licensed by the
State of Iowa. We understand soil profiles and soil information on cross-sections are not required
for this project. The results of our subsurface exploration, laboratory testing, and analyses will be
summarized in a geotechnical engineering report, which will include and/or address the following:
Computer-generated boring Togs with soil stratifications based on visual soil classification,
sample intervals and recoveries, N -values, laboratory test results, boring elevations, boring
location descriptions, groundwater levels observed, date(s) of boring, and drilling method
• General project description
• Subsurface exploration procedures
• Site and soil conditions (existing)

• Suitability of existing soil types for use as structural and/or select fill
• Pavement thickness design recommendations
• Pavement construction considerations

Unless requested otherwise, four (4) originals and one electronic version of the geotechnical
engineering report will be provided to ATS.

lierracon
Schedule - We can generally begin the subsurface exploration program within about one to
two weeks after receipt of authorization to proceed. We estimate the geotechnical report can
be completed within about three weeks after completion of the field and laboratory testing. We
will endeavor to meet this schedule; however, conditions beyond our control such as weather
conditions and uncooperative land owners can affect site access and our ability to perform the
subsurface exploration. In situations where information is needed prior to submittal of our
report, we can provide verbal information or recommendations for specific project requirements
after we have completed our field and laboratory programs.
Conditions - Items to be provided by the client include the right of entry to conduct the
exploration and an awareness and/or location of any private subsurface utilities existing at the
sites. Because the existing residential structures will have been demolished prior to our
subsurface exploration, we anticipate that natural gas, electric, and communication
laterals/services will be disconnected or shut off for the majority of the boring areas. If there are
any other restrictions or special requirements regarding the site or subsurface exploration, these
should also be known prior to our commencing fieldwork. Terracon will contact the Iowa One Call
locating service to locate underground utilities in public easements, but Terracon will not be
responsible for underground utilities (public or private) incorrectly marked or not marked by others.
As part of our normal standard of care, the exploration at any boring location will be terminated
and our findings discussed with you if evidence of contamination is encountered. Should
personal protective equipment upgrades or special borehole sealing procedures become
necessary, our fee will be discussed with you prior to commencing further drilling. Our scope of
services does not include any level of environmental site assessment services, but identification
of unusual or unnatural materials encountered while drilling will be discussed on our logs and in
our report.
The borings will be backfilled after drilling with auger cuttings using normal care; however,
some settlement of borehole backfill may occur. Our scope of work does not include any
responsibility for future maintenance or backfilling of the boreholes. If this is a concern, the
borings can be backfilled with grout for an additional fee. Reasonable care will be taken to
minimize damage to the site, but it is generally not practical to estimate the cost to restore the
site to its original condition prior to performing the work. For this reason, this cost is not
included.
