Box 1070 3289 Cooley Mesa Road Gypsum, CO 81637 Attn: Ms. Ellie Caryl SUBJECT: Proposal for Construction Observation Services, ECO trails Phase 2 Retaining Walls, Avon, Colorado. Dear Ms. Caryl: As requested, Michael W. West & Associates, Inc. (MWW &AI) is providing this proposal for engineering observation during construction of retaining walls for Phase 2 of the upcoming ECO Trails construction. We envision our services during construction consisting of reviewing contractor submittals, reviewing quality assurance test results, and providing a staff level engineer or Principal from Michael W. West & Associates for periodic visits during construction of retaining walls. • He or she will prepare daily reports describing the work performed and conditions encountered. These records will be available to ECO Trails at completion of construction. • We expect our visits to occur approximately weekly, and initially more often during construction of the "double wall" portions of Phase 2. • We expect our attention will focus on installation of initial shoring and micropiles. • In addition, we expect to observe initial excavation of all wall segments to verify, to the extent practical that exposed ground conditions are consistent with findings and assumptions included in our previous investigation and work on the project. • We generally do not expect to observe construction of conventional MSE walls (following initial excavation), but will be available to respond if questions or issues arise. • We understand that ECO Trails will retain a separate firm for construction quality assurance testing of soils (including MSE backfill), concrete, grout and any other materials associated with the walls. We expect to review the results of this testing program. • Based on our experience and the available plans, we estimate that about 8 visits, 'h day to a full day in length, will be required. 11 • In addition, we expect that a Principal (Harrison) will spend up to about 16 hours on phone calls, review of submittals, questions, meetings, or extra visits during this period. • Allowing for incidentals (including expenses) plus a contingency allowance of approximately 10 %, we estimate fees of $8,900 for these services. Invoicing will be based on the attached fee schedule. • In addition, meetings, phone conversations and reviews associated with the pre -award bidding and negotiation phase of the project were performed at a cost of $2,560.00 and are included in the fee quoted below. The total fee for the work is $11,460.00. The estimated cost will not be exceeded without justification and prior approval. If this proposal is satisfactory, please send us an authorization to proceed. Professional engineering fees and expenses are payable on presentation and will be invoiced monthly and on completion of the work. If you have any questions concerning the proposed scope of services or costs, we would be pleased to discuss them with you. Thank you for considering Michael W. West & Associates, Inc. for the proposed work. We look forward to working with you on this interesting and challenging project. Sincerely, Micha • 1 W. West & A ociates, Inc. .P2 Francis E.
