Subject. Proposal to Provide for Geotechnical Observation and Testing Services, Los Rios Park and
Parking Lot Improvements, 31790 Los Rios Street, City of San Juan Capistrano,
California
Introduction
Lawson & Associates Geotechnical Consulting, Inc. (LGC) is pleased to submit this proposal and cost
estimate to provide geotechnical observation and testing services during the proposed Los Rios Park and
Parking Lot Improvements located at 31790 Los Rios Street in the city of San Juan Capistrano, California.
Based on our preliminary review of the plans, we anticipate that our services will include backfill
observation and compaction testing for import fills, storm drain, sewer, and water trenches; and observation
and compaction testing for sidewalk, curb and gutter, street subgrade, and asphalt paving. Laboratory testing
will also be performed to confirm the validity of our previous geotechnical recommendations. As of the date
of this proposal, a construction schedule was not available. As a result, we have estimated the duration based
on similar projects.
Assumptions and Scone ofServices
• Attend project pre-construction/coordination meeting(s).
• Our observation and testing services for trench backfill and subgrade are based on 4 hours per day (part-
time).
• Our observation and testing services for import fill placement and asphalt pavement is based on 8 hours
per day (full-time).
No geotechnical design or analysis work is included in this contract.
• It has been assumed that import soils will be delivered to the site at a sufficient rate so that our field
technician can remain onsite on a full-time basis to observe fill placement.
• Irrigation service line will not require geotechnical observation and testing during backfill.
• Geotechnical laboratory testing includes laboratory compaction and R -value. We have estimated three
maximum density tests, and one R -Value test for subgrade soils (to confirm street section design).
• Only one final report will be required, documenting all results of our observation and testing. If extra
reports are required, these will be charged on a time -and -materials basis in accordance with our attached
2007 Professional Fee Schedule.
