PROPOSAL FOR ENOTNEFEANG OBSERVATIOI ()1
EARTHWORK
• FERNSIDE EOULEVARE EXTENSION
Alameda, California.
Asrequested, we are planning to. proviie engineering.
observation services in connection. with the earthwork scheduled
for the extension of Fernside:Boulevard in Alameda, California.
We will serve as your consultant, observing the grading opera-
tions and gathering data .as needed. to evaluate whether there
has been reasonabfe•compliance with the project specifications
and the recommendations of our geOtechnical report.
During the earthwork construction, we expect that our .presence
at the jobsite will be required every day that grading. work is
in progress; however, time .spent on the job will vary from day
to day depending on the progress of the work. During the
course of the work, • we Would advise you of pur opinions regard-
i1 g. 011'/ deficiencies in the work of the contractor.
Based. on. the job specifiCations and the recommendations of our
geotechnichl report for the project„ we proposa to provide the
followano services:
1. Aaaeas the suiLability of efb;avuted ohssite macerial
for reuse as engineered fill.
2, TesC and. assess the quality oroimport fill
materials.

3. Observe the stripping and site preparation
operations.
4. Observe the sifte excavation and. filling. operations
to develop the roadway embankment including
placement of the aggregate base rock.
Observe the placement of backfill behind
retaining walls.
b. Conduct compaction tests in fills, o required,
to supplement our field observations,,
7. Provide consultation, as requesfedt.during the
earthwork. phase.
8. Conduct compaction. tests in utility trench
backiill as requested..
9. Prepare a report covering our field observations
and tests after cbMpletion o the earthwork
operations. In addition, we will issuestO you,
on a daily basis, results of field density tests.
Our charges will be based on our standard hourly rates for the
time spent by our engineering and oLhco technical personnel,
and on our standard unit rates for field and laboratory tests
performed. Charges, terms and. conditions for our services will
he in accordance with the attached 1981 Schedule of Charges and
Conditions.
IP is difficult for us to ehtilmate the cost of our services
hinge our fees will vary• accoltding to the Contractor's speed of
operation, the quality of his work, climatic conditions, and
the extent of„any constluct.isn protdssns, A well organized
tawahO.chis with nominal job deficiencies and problems will

The method or establishing the fee for our services is as set forth in Manual no. 45c of the
American Society of Civil Engineers. 8 new schedule of charges is issued at the beginning of each
year. Unless other arrangements have been made, charges for all work including projects initiated
in the prior year will be based on new schedule o r charges, Our charges arc di v iu n into four
categories: Personnel, Outside Services, Equipment Rental, and Tests.
PERSONNEL: Personnel charges are for technical work. Charges are made for technical typing as in
the preparation of reports and for the time and costs of printing as in the production of rconrtn,
Direct charges are not made for secretarial service, office management, accounting, and maintenance
since these items are included in overhead. Charges are computed by multiplying salary cost by two
and one-half. Salary cost includes direct payroll costs, Payroll taxes, vacation,- holidays, sick
7eove, retirement, and employee insurance, For technical typing, printing, laboratory, and graph-
ics, averages for each group are used instead of individual saloriey. For all others, individual
salaries an used. Current personnel rates are as follows:

For all unionized engineering tochniciuns, hourly salary cost rates are derived from salaries paid
as for all other personnel described above. These salary cost rates are then multiplied by two and
one-half. Hourly salary costs are $17.70.
Time spent in travel in the interest of the client will be charged at hourly rates except that no
more than 8 hours of travel time will be charged in any day. When it is necessary for an employee
to be away from the office overnight, actual ccsts of, or a negotiated rate for, living expenses
