Project Approach and Understanding project. The time for each activity will be assessed and the coordination and selection of the resources and technical staff will be performed. Terracon understands that an important element for controlling costs is good planning. Terracon will comply with local regulations to request a utility location service through Sunshine State One Call. We will consult with the owner/client regarding potential utilities, or other unmarked underground hazards. Based upon the results of this consultation, we will consider the need for alternative subsurface exploration methods, as the safety of our field crew is a priority. We will apply for right-of-way (ROW) permits with the City/County Operation f Center, setup maintenance of traffic (MOT) with certified subcontractors. Once all the permits and clearances are in place, subsurface explorations will be performed using applicable ASTM methods. Terracon has one of the largest and most diverse fleets of drilling equipment in Florida. By having this equipment in-house, we can ensure quality control (QC) and quick turnaround in collecting subsurface samples. Our drill rigs are equipped with automatic hammers and include truck -mounted, ATV mudbug, track - mounted (hydraulic mini -rig) with safety hammer, plus portable drilling tripods for extremely tight access conditions and 1 20 -ton CPT rig. Once the field exploration is completed, the soil/rock samples will be transported to our local Miami Lakes office which has a fully accredited laboratory by CMEC and Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The soil samples will be classified by a geotechnical engineer and necessary laboratory testing will be assigned. The laboratory testing will include and is not limited to moisture content, organic content, grain size analysis, Atterberg limits and corrosion potential (pH, sulfates, chlorides and resistivity). All tests will be performed in accordance with ASTM/AASHTO methods. Based on the field exploration and laboratory results Terracon will provide geotechnical recommendations for the proposed construction. Our geotechnical reports will address the type of materials that can be used for backfill, the compaction requirements for backfill, foundations, slabs, subgrade and base below pavements. In addition, it is important to the contractor to identify if any hard material is anticipated while performing excavations. We will ensure that sufficient information is provided to the contractor in order for them to design the excavations in accordance with OSHA requirements and ensure that they use proper equipment. Terracon will also provide soil/rock parameters that will assist in design of any excavations with sheet piling. In addition, in the predominantly urbanized City, impacts of vibrations and noise levels on adjoining structures and utilities as well as the impacts of dewatering on adjacent properties will be considered while providing recommendations. Terracon will provide information with regards to groundwater conditions on the site and predicted seasonal high-water levels within the area which will assist in determining the dewatering requirements. 1relrmcon City of Sunny Isles Beach — RFQ No. 20-07-011 Continuing Professional Consulting Services (CCNA) 10
