Project No. 091072-01
Subject: Proposal to Provide Geotechnical Observation and Testing Services during Trunk Line
Sewer and Storm Drain Construction, Alipaz Street and Camino Del Avion, 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 construction of the proposed trunk
line sewer and storm drain along Alipaz Street and Camino Del Avion in the City of San Juan Capistrano,
California. Based upon our review of the construction plans prepared by Hall & Foreman, Inc., we
understand that that the project will include the construction of approximately 2,400 feet of sewer along
Alipaz Street, and approximately 110 feet of storm drain along Camino Del Avion. The average depth of the
sewer line is approximately 16 feet below the existing ground surface and the average depth of the storm
drain line is approximately 4 feet below the existing ground surface. An anticipated construction schedule
was not available at the time this proposal was prepared.
The purpose of our geotechnical services during construction will be to provide observation and testing of
the sewer and storm drain excavation bottom and backfill, and paving. Our services will also include
laboratory testing of the encountered soil material for maximum dry density and optimum moisture content.
Scone of Geotechnical Services
Services provided during construction of the sewer and storm drain lines will include the following:
Familiarization with the Specifications and Contract Documents package (including current geotechnical
report) for the subject site, provided by you.
Observation and testing of excavation bottoms and subsequent trench backfill operations. Our field
representatives will be on site on a part-time, on-call basis.
Laboratory testing during construction, including maximum dry density and optimum moisture content.
Observation and testing of asphalt paving upon completion of trench backfill operations. Our field
representatives will be on site on a full-time basis during paving operations.
1319 Calle Avanzado . San Clemente • CA 92673-6351 • (949) 369-6141 • Fax (949) 369-6142
i
Preparation of one "As -Built' geotechnical report at the conclusion of construction. Information
contained in this report will include a summary and description of our observations, field and laboratory
test results, and the geotechnical conditions encountered during construction operations at the site.
Note: Our services will only address the geotechnical issues associated with the site and will not address
any environmental issues.
Cost Estimate
Our cost estimate is based upon information provided by you. Since no construction schedule was available
at this time, we have estimated a construction duration based on our experience with similar projects. We
anticipate that each working day will be comprised of four hours for the part-time portion of the construction,
and 8 hours for the full-time portion of the construction.

We propose to perform the above -listed geotechnical services on a time -and -materials basis in accordance
with our attached 2007 Professional Fee Schedule for an estimated amount of Eleven Thousand One
Hundred Seventy Dollars ($11,170.00). Our fees are based upon our estimation of the geotechnical services
needed for project completion. Fees for field observations and field density testing may be subject to change
due to factors beyond our control including (but not limited to) contractor schedule, governmental agency
requirements, weather conditions, and type of material used for backfill.
Assumptions
Please note that the following assumptions have been made in preparation of this proposal and cost estimate:
1. The estimate above is based on an assumed number of days it will take for the contractor to complete
each phase of the project and is highly dependant on the type of equipment and method of backfilling
used. If the construction schedule varies from the duration estimated above, our fees are subject to
modification as required;
2. Contractor will provide shoring and other necessary means of protection, as required, when entry to the
sewer trench is required for observation and testing;
3. Contractor may not proceed with pipe placement until the bottom of the excavation has been approved
by our field representative; and
Project No. 091072-01 Page 2 August 27, 2009
i
4. Construction operations will be performed during normal working hours, Monday through Friday,
between 7:00 am to 4:00 pm. Our cost estimate does not included fees for overtime work (more than 8
hours per day) or for work performed on weekends and holidays.
Our fees and scope of services shall be adjusted accordingly if any of the above assumptions are invalid for
the proposed project.
Closure
Our geotechnical services will be performed to the general standard of care of geotechnical consulting in
Southern California; no other warranty is expressed or implied.
If this proposed meets with your approval, please provide us with the necessary work authorization. We will
be prepared to start work upon signing a mutually agreeable contract.
The opportunity of submitting this proposal is sincerely appreciated. If you should have any questions, please
do not hesitate to contact our office.

Subject.. Proposal to Provide Geotechnical Observation and Testing Services during Trunk Line
Sewer and Storm Drain Construction, Ahipaz Street and Camino Del Avion, 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 construction of the proposed trunk
line sewer and storm drain along Alipaz Street and Camino Del Avion in the City of San Juan Capistrano,
California. Based upon our review of the construction plans prepared by Hall & Foreman, Inc., we
understand that that the project will include the construction of approximately 2,400 feet of sewer along
Alipaz Street, and approximately 110 feet of storm dram along Camino Del Avion. The average depth of the
sewer line is approximately 16 feet below the existing ground surface and the average depth of the storm
drain line is approximately 4 feet below the existing ground surface. An anticipated construction schedule
was not available at the time this proposal was prepared..
The purpose of our geotechnical services during construction will be to provide observation and testing of
the sewer and storm drain excavation bottom and backfill, and paving. Our services will also include
laboratory testing of the encountered soil material fbr maximum dry density and optimum moisture content.
Scone of Geotechnical Services
Services provided during construction of the sewer and storm drain lines will include the following:
Familiarization with the Specifications and Contract Documents package (including current geotechnical
report) for the subject site, provided by you.
• Observation and testing of excavation bottoms and subsequent trench backfill operations. Our field
representatives will be on site on a part-time, on-call basis.
Laboratory testing during construction, including maximum dry density and optimum moisture content:
Observation and testing of asphalt paving upon completion of trench backfill operations. Our field
representatives will be on site on a full-time basis during paving operations.
1319 Calle Avanzado • San Clemente • CA 92673-6351 • (949) 369-6141 • Fax (949) 369.6142
Preparation of one "As -Built' geotechnical report at the conclusion of construction. Information
contained in this report will include a summary and description of our observations, field and laboratory
test results, and the geotechnical conditions encountered during construction operations at the site.
Note: Our services will only address the geotechnical issues associated with the site and will not address
any environmental issues.
Cost Esthnate
Our cost estimate is based upon information provided by you. Since no construction schedule was available
at this time, we have estimated a construction duration based on our experience with similar projects. We
anticipate that each working day will be comprised of four hours for the part-time portion of the construction,
and 8 hours for the full-time portion of the construction.

We propose to perform the above -listed geotechnical services on a time -and -materials basis in accordance
with our attached 2007 Professional Fee Schedule for an estimated amount of Eleven Thousand One
Hundred Seventy Dollars ($11,170.00). Our fees are based upon our estimation of the geotechnical services
needed for project completion. Fees for field observations and field. density testing may be. subject to change
due to factors beyond our control including (but not limited to) contractor schedule, governmental agency
requirements, weather conditions, and type of material used for backfill.
Assumptions
Please note that the following assumptions have been made in preparation of this proposal and cost estimate:
1. The estimate above is based on an assumed number of days it will take for the contractor to complete
each phase of the project and is highly dependant on the type of equipment and method of backfilling
used. If the construction schedule varies from the duration estimated above, our fees are subject to
modification as required;
2. Contractor will provide shoring and other necessary means of protection, as required, when entry to the
sewer trench is required for observation and testing;
3. Contractor may not proceed with pipe placement until the bottom of the excavation has been approved
by our field representative; and
