Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Terracon) appreciates the opportunity to submit this proposal to
provide a Construction Review Services (CSR) for the above referenced project as requested
by the City of Waterloo.
A. PROJECT INFORMATION
The City of Waterloo, Iowa (City) prepared Plans, Specifications and Form of Contract for the
above referenced project with sealed proposal due to the City on February 13, 2025. The
extent of work involved is the demolition and plugging of the existing north relief well at the
Hawthorne Avenue storm sewer lift station and the installation of a new replacement north
relief well. We understand that the City has selected Cahoy Pump Service, Inc. (Cahoy) as
the Contractor for the project.
Terracon's subsurface exploration and engineering recommendations were utilized for the
support of the design of a new relief well to replace the existing North Relief well at the
Hawthorne Avenue Pumping Station site. Terracon also prepared a Drilling Program Plan
(DPP) dated May 20, 2022 for the new relief well that details the well installation
documentation and testing required. This plan was approved by the United States Army Corp
of Engineers (USACE) on June 1, 2022.
The City of Waterloo has requested that Cahoy work with Terracon to submit a completed
DPP to the USACE for their approval before beginning construction.

Terracon
B. SCOPE OF SERVICES
Based upon these understandings, Terracon proposes the following scope of services.
Task 1 - Drilling Program Plan
Terracon will meet with Cahoy to review the previously approved DPP and incorporate updated
information provided by Cahoy into a revised DPP for the project for USACE approval.
Task 2 - Project Support
Terracon will provide construction review services as noted in the DPP to include the
following:
■ Terracon will provide an Iowa DNR Certified Well Contractor to observe Cahoy's
installation and development of the north replacement relief well along with the
abandonment of the existing north relief well. Note, this does not replace Cahoy's
Iowa DNR Certified Well Contractor responsibilities.
■ Terracon will provide an on -site field engineer during the relief well installation. The
relief well boring shall be logged from cuttings by the on -site field engineer. During
the borehole drilling, disturbed samples from drilling cuttings will be obtained to
confirm physical soil characteristics. In the event the subsurface conditions vary from
those anticipated, drilling and sampling will proceed as planned until a termination
depth has been decided upon by the Geotechnical Engineer and the on -site Engineer
or Geologist. The on -site Engineer/Geologist will add notes to the as -built drawings
and will forward the drawings and field log to the Geotechnical Engineer for review.
Prior to installing the well, hydrofracture calculations will be updated by the
Geotechnical Engineer, if necessary, and the Geotechnical Engineer will communicate
the revised installation procedure to the on -site Engineer/Geologist and the
Contractor.
■ Terracon personnel will also be on -site to document/observe relief well development
activities and relief well capacity testing.
Upon project completion, Terracon will submit all relief well installation and development
documentation, well diagrams with subsurface soil data and layering, and results of pumping
tests to the City of Waterloo to be submitted to the USACE.
Construction material testing (ie. compaction testing) is not included in this scope of service. If
the City of Waterloo requests these services a Change Order will be provided.
Site Access and Safety
Terracon will be responsible for supervision and site safety measures for its own employees
and will not be responsible for the supervision or health and safety precautions for any third
parties, including contractors, subcontractors, or other parties present at the site.
