Goldkamp Senior Civil Engineer Design and Construction Division City of Chula Vista 276 Fourth Avenue Chula Vista, California 92010 Subject: Proposal for Soi Is Investigation Improvement of "C" Street, East of T hi rd Avenue Chula Vista, California W.O. AO-045 Dear Mr. Goldkamp: We appreciate the opportunity of presenting to you, at your request, a proposal for the soils investigation for the improvements of "C" Street east of Third Avenue and west of Del Mar Avenue in Chula Vista, California. It is proposed to drill five test borings at the site to estimated depths of 15 to 30 feet to verify the character of fill soils and the depths where suitable natural soils exist. Also, the slope of the fill soils on natural ground will be recorded and the bedding planes of the natural formations. Sufficient exploration into these strata will be accomplished for stability analyses. The borings are to be drilled 24 to 30 inches in diameter with a truck- mounted rotary bucket-type drill rig. The soils encountered in the borings will be logged by our field geologist and undisturbed samples will be taken at intervals of 2 to 5 feet, in the gravel-free soils to the depths of exploration. The samples will be obtained by driving a special steel sampling tube, lined with 12 one-inch high by 2.42 inch inside diameter brass cylindrical liners into the soils ahead of drilling. The samples will be extracted from the borings with the soil still confined within the brass liners. A six-inch section of the center portion of the sample will be taken for laboratory tests in close-fitting waterproof containers in order to retain the field moisture until completion of the tests. Our field geologist will be lowered in each test boring, where safety permits, to determine the slope of the contact of fill on the natural soils and the bedding planes of the natural formations and to determine if any adverse oriented bedding planes exist. Loose bulk samples of representative fill soils will be obtained for laboratory compaction tests based on the A.S.T.M. D 1557-78 method. Laboratory tests will be performed on all of the undisturbed samples taken from the test borings to determine the field moisture and density. Also, shearing strength tests will be conducted (2-\\~si Mr. Kenneth J. Goldkamp Proposal for So ils Investi gation -2- February 25, 1985 on representative samples at field moisture and also under increased moisture conditions to simulate the possibility of the future intrusion of water from any source. Load-consolidation tests will be performed on representative samples of the soils taken below the proposed retaining footings. The data from these tests will be used to determine the allowable active, passive, and bearing capacities of the soils and the estimated settlements of retaining wall footings. Also, shearing resistance tests will be conducted on the fills remolded to 90 percent of maximum dry density, then saturated and drained and sheared at several normal loads, in order to provide data for the determination of the angles of internal friction and cohesion of the soils. The findings, test data and conclusions will be presented in a final report. These will include the recommended allowable bearing values, and design active and passive earth pressures for retaining wall design and grading procedures and specifications for placement of compacted filled ground; together with a suitable slope ratio for compacted filled ground. The estimated charges for the drill ing, logging, sampling, and testing and report preparation of five borings to estimated depths of 15 to 30 feet for the investigation are presented as follows: Engineering Charges Estimated Hours Field logging and sampling of 5 borings Laboratory testing Drafti ng Technical typing Office Engineering, including pre- paration of report by Registered Engineer Review by Principal Engineer 24 to 28 30 to 34 8 to 10 3 to 5 10 to 12 3 to 5 Rental of Drill Rig, etc. Drill Rig Rental Patch asphaltic concrete - 2 sites Barricades (for 2 days) 20 to 24 Hourly Estimated Rate Total Charges $ 40.00 $ 960 to $ 1120 $ 32.00 $ 960 to $ 1088 $ 28.00 - $ 224 to $ 280 $ 17.00 $ 51 to $ 85 $ 55.00 $ 550 to $ 660 $ 70.00 $ 210 to $ 350 Subtotal: $ 2955 to $ 3583 $ 88.00 $ 80.
