WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, it is the intention of the Board to undertake the planning and construction of the Eagle County Criminal Justice Center located on approximately 29.23 acres of land north and east of the Town of Eagle, Colorado, along Eagle County Road No. S -35 in Tracts 61 and 69 of Sections 28 and 33, Township 5 South, Range 84 West of the Sixth P.M., County of Eagle, Colorado, hereinafter referred to as the "subject property "; and WHEREAS, as part of such planning and construction, the Board desires to contract for a subsurface soils investigation of the subject property; and WHEREAS, after the publication for the submittal of bids from qualified applicants and the review of such bids, the Board desires to enter into an agreement with Lincoln- DeVore for such subsurface soils investigation. NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants, conditions, and promises contained herein, the parties hereto agree hereby as follows: SECTION ONE SCOPE OF WORK Lincoln - DeVore shall perform a subsurface soils investigation of the subject property and prepare a comprehensive report relative thereto, in accordance with the following: 1. Borings. a. The drilling of eight (8) test borings shall be conducted on the subject property. The borings will be drilled throughout the proposed building location to develop an accurate cross section of the subsurface soils. The borings will be drilled to a depth of 25' or practical refusal. Sampling will be at 5' intervals or every major soil change. b. A number of shallow borings will be drilled in the parking areas to sample subgrade soils to be evaluated by the Hveem Carmany method of pavement design. C. If unusual conditions are encountered.including, but not limited to, unanticipated materials which cannot be penetrated by standard sampling equipment, Lincoln - DeVore shall immediately consult with the Board's Architect, W. C. Muchow and Partners, Inc.; Attention: Dave Swoboda; 1725 Blake Street, Denver, Colorado, 80202; (303)- 534 -5800, hereinafter referred to as "Architect." When requested by the Architect, core drill into the material as required to establish recommended footing elevations, which shall be additional work as provided in Section 3 hereinbelow. d. Lincoln- DeVore shall advise the Architect as to any further exploration and testing required to obtain information that Lincoln - DeVore requires for a professional interpretation of subsoil conditions at the building site and shall perform such additional work as authorized by the Board in writing after consultation with the Architect. The 2 extent of exploration undertaken shall be consistent with the scope of the work set forth in this Agreement and any drawings attached hereto. Sampling operations for both disturbed and undisturbed samples shall be in accordance with recommended ASTM and other procedures, and as necessary to produce the information required for the subsurface soils investigation report. 2. Drilling and sampling methods a. Drilling and sampling will be performed in accordance with current applicable ASTM and other standards, including, but not limited to, ASTM D1586, D1587 and D2113. Samples of soil shall be taken at the ground surface, at two feet below existing grade and at each change in soil stratification or soil consistency, but not further apart than five feet in each of the borings. Where clayey cohesive soils are encountered, thin - walled tube samples shall be taken of representative strata. Split -spoon samples shall be placed in sealed jars labeled with the following information: (1) boring number, (2) sample number, (3) sample depth, (4) blows per foot required to drive sample, (5) date, (6) Project name, and (7) the engineer's name. b. Rock cores shall be not less than 1 3/8" in diameter, and shall be placed in core boxes properly labeled as indicated above. C. The samples shall be preserved and field logs prepared either by a Soil Engineer or by an experienced Soil Technician acting under the supervision of a Soil Engineer. d. Lincoln - DeVore shall notify the Architect before drilling equipment is removed from the site and advise the Architect as to the field description of soil conditions encountered. Lincoln DeVore shall perform such additional 3 borings or other exploration as may be authorized by the Board in writing after consultation with the Architect. 3. Protection of Property. Lincoln- DeVore shall contact the Board and all utility companies for information regarding buried utilities and structures, shall take all reasonable precautions to prevent damage to property, visible and concealed, and shall reasonably restore the site to the condition existing prior to Lincoln- DeVore's entry, including, but not limited to, backfilling of borings, patching of slabs and pavements, and repair of lawns and plantings. Each boring should be plugged temporarily, pending additional ground water readings. At the completion of the ground water readings, the borings should be permanently plugged, including patching of slabs and pavements. 4. Field and Laboratory Report. a. Format. All segments of the report covering the investigation and analyses shall be made on white paper, 8 1/2 by 11 inches, suitable for photocopying and bound in booklet forms. If larger drawings are absolutely necessary, they shall be folded and bound into the booklet. Written reports and analyses shall be on Lincoln- DeVore's letterhead. Each drawing shall carry a title block which contains the Project name and name and address, the date of the date of the drawings, the charge of the crew making the the drafter, and the initials who is the responsible checke b. Reports. location, Lincoln- DeVore's the subsurface investigation, initials of the person in investigation, the initials of of the Professional Engineer r. i. All data required to be recorded according to the ASTM or other standard test methods employed M W w shall be obtained, recorded in the field and referenced to boring numbers; soil shall be classified in the field logs in accordance with current applicable ASTM and other standards, including, but not limited to, ASTM D2488, but the classification for final logs shall be based on the field information, plus results of tests, plus further inspection of samples in the laboratory by the Soil Engineer preparing the report. ii. Include with the report a chart illustrating the soil classification criteria and the terminology and symbols used on the boring logs. iii. Identify the ASTM or other recognized standard sampling and test methods utilized. iv. Provide a plot plan giving dimensional locations of test borings. v. Provide vertical sections for each boring plotted and graphically presented showing number of borings, sampling method used, date of start and finish, surface elevations, description of soil and thickness of each layer, depth to loss or gain of drilling fluid, hydraulic pressure required or number of blows per foot (N value), and, where applicable, depth to wet cave -in, depth to artesian head, ground water elevation and time when water reading was made (repeat observation after 24 hours), and presence of gases. Note the location of strata containing organic materials, wet materials or other inconsistencies that might affect engineering conclusions. vi. Decribe the existing surface conditions and summarize the subsurface conditions found to be present. vii. Provide a profile and /or topographic map of rock or other bearing stratum. F1 t viii. Analyze the probable variations in elevations and movements of subsurface water due to seasonal influences. ix. Report all laboratory determinations of soil properties. C. Disposition of samples.
