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.

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.
