4. Assumes twelve moisture densities, seven plasticity indices (Atterberg Limits), seven fine sieve analysis, seven unconfined compression tests, two Resistance (R)-Value, and two corrosion tests (to be by CERCO Analytical on behalf of the City). SCHEDULE The Schedule to mobilize into the field will depend partially on the availability of the drill rig upon receipt of project approval from the City of Redwood City. Typically, we can mobilize within about 2 weeks of receiving authorization to proceed. We anticipate that the laboratory testing will be completed within about one week after the field investigation is finished. Our written report will be available approximately two to three weeks after the laboratory testing is completed. We anticipate that a e-mail of initial findings can be provided within two weeks after completion of drilling to discuss key findings if needed. PREVAILING WAGE The California Prevailing Wage Law requires payment of a local "prevailing wage" to workers on publicly funded construction projects. This includes projects "paid for in whole or in part out of public funds" and has been expanded to include various types of payments, credits and monetary equivalents provided by the State or public entity. The Prevailing Wage Law extends to geotechnical engineering consultants, their soils/material testing and building inspection personnel. Services subject to prevailing wage are typically non-professional field services and are applicable during design as well as construction. The law significantly increases employee wages for qualified activities on publicly funded projects. Based on our understanding that this project is a prevailing wage project, fees associated with prevailing wage projects have been included in this proposal. If this is not a prevailing wage project, please notify us immediately in order for us to adjust our fees. AUTHORIZATION We have assumed that we will be able to agree on terms using a Contract prepared by the City of Redwood City. LIMITATIONS Kleinfelder offers a range of engineering services to suit the varying needs of our clients. Although risk can never be eliminated, more detailed and extensive investigations yield more information, which may help better understand and manage the degree of risk. Since more detailed services involve greater expense, our clients should participate in determining the level of our services that provides adequate information for their purposes at acceptable levels of risk. Our work will be performed in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by other members of Kleinfelder's profession practicing in the same locality, under similar conditions and at the date the services are provided. Our conclusions, opinions and recommendations will be based on a limited number of observations and data. It is possible that conditions could vary between or beyond the data evaluated.
