REV: 09-23-25 LF <br />EXHIBIT “A” <br />SCOPE OF SERVICES AND FEE <br />Scope of Services <br />Consultant shall provide as-needed, on-call geotechnical investigation, special inspection <br />and material testing professional services during the planning, analysis, design, and <br />construction of capital improvement projects and in support of ongoing operation and <br />maintenance of the existing water, groundwater, recycled water, sewer collection, <br />stormwater, flood resilience systems, Parks, facilities systems and infrastructure. <br />Upon written request through issuance of Task Order from the City Engineer or a Senior <br />Civil Engineer, the Consultant shall provide the following types of services: <br />A. Assist the City in obtaining all permits required to comply with applicable Federal, <br />State, and Local environmental laws and regulations. <br />B. Preparing and/or reviewing construction plans, specifications and project design <br />reports including slope stability analysis, sub-surface and surface drainage <br />reports, grading plans and structural design in accordance with current standards <br />developed by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation <br />Officials (AASHTO) and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). <br />C. Perform soil borings in locations as directed by the City. Each soil boring shall <br />include pavement cores to determine existing pavement thickness. This shall also <br />include coring through any concrete pavement or base that may be encountered. <br />Soil borings will extend to the depth indicated, as measured from the top of the <br />existing pavement. <br />D. Measure and record the boring logs of all pavement and aggregate base thickness. <br />The composition and description of the aggregate base shall also be reported on <br />the boring logs. Sufficient samples of aggregate base and sand subbase materials <br />shall be obtained in order to perform sieve analysis testing if requested by the City. <br />E. Measure and record the distance of the actual boring location from the nearest <br />curb line and from another roadway feature. Sampling locations will be marked in <br />the field by a representative of the City. Boing locations shall not be offset for <br />reasons other than avoiding conflicts with existing utilities, parked cars, trees, or <br />other unmovable obstacles. <br />F. Perform any laboratory testing required to provide comprehensive soil boring logs <br />and/or geotechnical reports. This shall include, at a minimum, visual engineering <br />classification of all samples (in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification <br />System, USCS) as well as moisture content and soil strength tests on cohesive <br />samples. All core thickness shall be measured in the laboratory to verify <br />ATTY/AGR.2025.215/Smith-Emery (On-Call Geotechnical Professional Services) (Page 12 of 19)
