BET will provide a technician(s) on a call-out basis, with visits based upon Client/contractor
requests for service. We will work closely with you and your representative to notify you as the
fees approach the estimated budget. Please note that CMT costs are completely dependent on
the contractor's schedule and the number of calls for service requested. In addition, the work
scope described below is not definite. The work scope is dictated by Client/contractor on a
continual basis, depending on your calls for service. BET does offer additional services that can
be described upon request.
BET personnel will not direct, layout, or supervise the construction operations for the project, nor
will we alter or change the project plans, specifications, or reports. We respectfully request a pre-
construction meeting with all parties involved.
Compaction Testing for Earthwork
BET will provide a technician(s) to implement appropriate field monitoring and testing programs
for quality assurance. This may include the following, as needed and requested:
• Review project specifications for percent compaction and soil moisture content requirements;
testing frequency; and subgrade, fill and base materials;
• Obtain sample(s) of proposed fill materials and perform laboratory evaluation;
• Perform laboratory analyses to determine moisture—density relationship;
• Observe and document subgrade conditions prior to fill/backfill placement;
• Perform appropriate field testing to determine in-place moisture/density conditions;
• Document field test locations;

billed hourly; rather, BET accounts for these services as a percent-markup to the invoice total for
field and lab services.
Engineering consultation and special administrative tasks are billed hourly.
Exclusions
The following services are specifically excluded in the scope of services at this time:
• Engineering review of Geotechnical Report, design drawings, and specifications;
• All required permitting activities, other than SWPPP;
• Implementation of the SWPPP to be conducted by the on-site general contractor and is not
included in our scope;
• Record or as-built drawings;
• All environmental services and all costs associated if hazardous materials are encountered.
Assumptions
• Required by Others
- Final site layout.
- Project drawings and specifications.
• Meetings: All meetings are assumed to be via conference call or at the project site;
therefore, no travel is anticipated for attending project meetings.
• Client will provide any other completed studies, reports, plans, plats, existing site
topographic information or data that may be of assistance or necessary for BET to perform
under this Agreement. BET has the right to rely on information contained in documents
provided by Client.
• Client will be responsible for all application and permit fees required by any agencies
involved. BET documents will be prepared with agency requirements in mind.
• BET will perform its services in a manner consistent with the standard of care and skill
ordinarily exercised by members of the profession practicing under similar conditions in the
geographic vicinity and at the time the services will be performed. No warranty or
guarantee, express or implied, is provided as part of the services offered by this proposal.
• Engineering services, meetings and consultation, as well as special administrative task
outside of the scope specifically addressed in the proposal above, are considered a
separate item to be charged at the appropriate professional staff rate.
• Safety in the Work Place: BET takes safety in the workplace very seriously. We will follow
Contractor's safety protocols as well as our own stringent safety program.
• BET will provide deliverables in electronic PDF format, unless hard copies are specifically
requested. We will not provide editable native electronic file formats such as CAD, Word,
Excel.
• Limitations to Construction Materials Testing Services: Construction testing and
observation are techniques employed to reduce the risk of problems arising during
construction. Provision of these services by BET is not insurance, nor does it constitute a
warranty or guarantee of any type. Even with diligent construction testing and observation,
some latent construction defects may be missed. In all cases, contractors shall retain
responsibility for the quality of their work, for adhering to plans and specifications, and for
repairing defects regardless of when they are found.
• BET offers a range of testing and observation services to suit the varying needs of our
clients. Although risk can never be eliminated, more detailed and extensive testing and
observations yield more information, which may help understand and manage the degree
of risk. Because such detailed services involve greater expense, our clients participate in

determining the level of service that will provide adequate information for their purposes at
an acceptable level of risk.
Proposed Fees
Time and Materials Estimated Fee $ 21,662.30
Estimate to be determined. Refer to BET's 2025 Schedule of Services and Fees for unit rates.
CMT services will be invoiced on a Time and Materials basis. BET will perform the CMT field
tasks listed above on an hourly and unit rate basis while on site. The actual costs will depend on
the amount of work requested and the contractor's schedule. Overtime rates apply for weekends
