Proposal for Construction Materials Testing Services
Creek Bend Extension
Round Rock, Texas
Introduction
We are pleased to submit this proposal for providing on-site construction materials testing
services for the above referenced project. Project plans and specifications were available for our
review. In addition, Fugro provided geotechnical design services on this project (refer to Fugro
Report No. 04.30111086, dated July 14, 2014).
In general, the project includes construction of a bridge over Brushy Creek (463 ft long),
an extension of Creek Bend Blvd (3,838 ft long), new retaining walls, utilities and associated
appurtenances. The project is located between the south end of the existing Creek Bend Blvd
and the intersection of existing Brightwater Dr. and Wyoming Springs Dr. in Round Rock, Texas.
In this proposal we present a scope of services, a fee estimate and unit price schedules.
Scope of Services
Based upon our knowledge of the project, and our past experience with similar projects,
we present our proposed scope of services in the following paragraphs. We anticipate that our
scope of services will consist of:
■ Earthwork Testing;
■ Drilled Pier Observation;
■ Concrete Reinforcing Steel Observation;
■ Anchor Bolt Inspection;
■ Concrete Testing;
A member of the Fugro group of companies with offices throughout the world.

■ Asphalt Testing.
For placement and compaction of fill, backfill, natural subgrade, and pavement base
material, we will provide a soil technician when requested to perform required field density tests
to monitor the contractor's compliance with specifications. Laboratory tests will consist of
Atterberg limits, gradation analyses, and moisture density relationships.
For drilled pier or foundation construction, our technician will verify that the piers or
footings have been installed to the required penetration of the proper bearing stratum. He will
also verify that the excavation(s) has been properly cleaned, that piers are within plumbness
requirements, and that casing is used, if required.
When requested, we will observe the concrete reinforcement prior to structural concrete
placements. Bar size, spacing, splicing, cleanliness, and cover will be examined for compliance
with the approved structural drawings. Post tension strand location, spacing, drape, and
anchorage will also be inspected if applicable.
When requested, we will observe the placement of embedded bolts in concrete. For bolts
that are drilled and epoxied in place, we will inspect the drilled holes for length, diameter, and
cleanliness in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements. If requested, we are also
available to perform pull tests on completed bolts.
When requested, our duties for cast-in-place concrete monitoring will be slump testing,
molding compression test cylinders, and concrete compression testing. Concrete will be
observed for slump at the point of placement, and one set of concrete cylinders will be cast at the
specified frequency. Air content will be tested for concrete exposed to weather. Our fees do not
include control or documentation of the initial field-curing environment of the compressive
strength test cylinders.
When requested, our technicians will also perform laboratory testing on the hot mix
asphaltic concrete (HMAC). We will cut cores for determining field density and in-place
thickness. Laboratory testing will include molding of test specimens, laboratory densities, voids in
mineral aggregate, determination of maximum theoretical density, asphalt content, and gradation.

Our Project Manager will attend the preconstruction meeting, be available for review of
geotechnical and construction materials related submittals, provide consultation regarding any
observed non-conformances, provide technical oversight of our services, and prepare the Special
Inspection letter(s) at the conclusion of the project.
Our field technician(s) will immediately report results of field observations directly to the
on-site job superintendent and owner's representative. We will assist the superintendent in
identification and correction of any observed non-compliances with project specifications. In no
case will our technician direct the contractor's operations, waive specifications, or make final
acceptance of the contractor's work. Written reports will be transmitted electronically.
The scope of services and estimated fee proposed herein does not include:
■ Environmental or geologic oversight, including mitigation of any exposed voids, caves,
karst features, groundwater, or cave invertebrate habitat;
• Inspection of any items at off-site suppliers and fabrication plants; it is assumed that
suppliers and fabrication plants employed by the contractor have their own QA/QC
program to satisfy the project requirements.
• Standby time, trips to site for cancellations without notice, retesting, reinspection, or
testing services for the contractor's convenience or internal Quality Control.
• Identification, investigation, or mitigation of any hazardous materials, buried waste, buried
structures, or other unknown substances or appurtenances found during construction.
• Overtime (see footnotes of Schedule CMT-2014 for definition).
Terms and Conditions
Our general conditions for materials engineering and technical services are presented on
Schedule 40.01. Construction materials testing fees are included on Fee Schedule CMT-2014.
Both schedules are attached. The project will be billed monthly on the basis of this fee schedule.
Materials testing services are for quality control purposes only. In no way are our
personnel responsible for the job site safety of others, nor do they have stop-work authority.
However, our personnel will conduct their work in a safe, workman-like manner, and will observe
work-site safety requirements.

work does not include the investigation, detection, or design related to the presence of any
Biological Pollutants. The term "Biological Pollutants" includes, but is not limited to, mold, fungi,
spores, bacteria, and viruses, and the byproducts of any such biological organisms.
Proposed Fees
Testing costs will vary depending on the construction schedule, project sequencing,
overlapping of work, weather, and other factors. Our services will be provided on a call-out basis
and will be billed in accordance with the attached fee schedule. For budgeting purposes, we
estimate that our fees will be approximately as detailed in the attached breakdown. Upon
