SCST Proposal No. 15-0201
Subject: PROPOSAL FOR GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
WATER SERVICE LEAK
2415 LA COSTA AVENUE UNIT C
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
Dear Mr. Jacobs:
In accordance with your request, Southern California Soil & Testing, Inc. (SCST) is pleased to
submit this proposal to perform a geotechnical investigation for the subject project. The site is
located in front of 2415 La Costa Avenue, Unit C, which is located near the northwest corner of the
condominium complex. The water service is located beneath the paved driveway within the
complex, east of Unit C. The water service leak was reported on Monday, May 6, 2015, but may
have occurred earlier. Based on our meeting at the site this morning, we propose to drill three
borings downhill and down gradient from a recent water service leak to evaluate the subsurface
moisture and groundwater conditions. This proposal contains our proposed scope of work, fee and
schedule.
SCOPE OF WORK
Our scope of work will consist of preparing a geotechnical investigation. Our services will consist
of:
• Review geologic maps, topographic maps, prior geotechnical reports, and other readily
available literature pertinent to the geotechnical conditions at the site.
• Coordinate with Underground Service Alert to mark existing underground utilities at the boring
locations.
• Drill three borings with a truck mounted hollow stem auger drill rig to approximately 1 0 feet
below adjacent grade.
• Log the materials encountered in the borings and obtain samples for examination and
laboratory testing.
• Perform laboratory tests to evaluate the moisture and density of the subsurface material.
• Prepare a report presenting our findings, conclusions and recommendations.
FEE
We propose to provide the outlined scope of work on a Time and Materials Basis with an estimated
fee of $4,800. The fee is based on our attached 2015 Schedule of Fees and the understanding that
this project is subject to prevailing wages law. Work beyond the scope outlined in this proposal will

SCST Proposal No. 15-0201P
Page2
be performed on a time and expense basis using the rates in our fee schedule. An estimated cost
of additional work will be prepared for review if needed.
SCHEDULE
We have marked the boring locations and notify Underground Service Alert (USA) within 1 day of
notice to proceed. USA requires a 48-hour notice before subsurface exploration can start. We
anticipate that the field work can be completed within two days of the notice to proceed. Laboratory
testing can be finished within one week of completing the field work. The final report can be
submitted within one week of completing the laboratory test program. Therefore, our services are
estimated to be completed within 3 weeks from notice to proceed.
CLOSURE
We appreciate the opportunity to prepare this proposal and look forward to working with you on this
project. If you have any questions regarding this proposal or if we may be of further service, please
contact me at 619-280-4321. Otherwise, please send your contract documents for signature or sign
the attached Professional Services Agreement.
