AMERICAN <br />ENGINEERING <br />TESTING, INC. <br />PROPOSAL FOR PROJECT TESTING SERVICES <br />AET PROPOSAL No. 26-20557 <br />March 30, 2021 <br />American Engineering Testing, Inc. (AET) has been requested to provide a proposal for Project Testing <br />Services for the referenced project by Brandon Wisner from City of Elk River and Engineers on March 22, <br />2021. <br />Project: Fire Station Building 93 <br />Address: 9921 191st Ave NW <br />Elk River, Minnesota <br />Our Client: City of Elk River <br />Address: 13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br />Project Mgr: Brandon Wisner <br />Telephone: (763) 635-1054 <br />PROJECT INFORMATION <br />The project will include a one -level fire station building with a mezzanine level inside of it. The building will <br />have approximate overall dimensions of 136 feet by 150 feet. Finished floor elevation will be 928.75. The <br />building will have above grade CMU walls with a steel truss roof system with composite concrete/metal <br />decking elevated mezzanine. The structure will be supported by conventional spread footings designed using <br />an allowable soil bearing pressure of 3,000 pounds per square foot (psf). <br />GEOTECHNICAL INFORMATION <br />Previously, a geotechnical exploration program was performed at the project by Chosen Valley Testing. <br />The results were presented in their Geotechnical Evaluation Report, dated July 28, 2020, (CVT Project No. <br />13739.18MNS). A brief summary of that report includes recommendations, that the topsoil and fill are not <br />suitable for building support and should be completely removed from the building area and replacing these <br />soils as needed with engineered fill. At the locations explored, up to 6 '/2 or removal would be expected. <br />For planning purposes, we recommend assuming that all "possible fill" must be removed, subject to closer <br />geotechnical review during construction. Reference should be made to that report for more details <br />regarding site conditions and recommendations. <br />SCOPE OF SERVICES <br />AET's anticipated scope of services for City of Elk River will be performed according to the project plans and <br />specifications provided to us. The services provided by AET will be performed on a will -call basis, when <br />notified by City of Elk River Brunton field personnel. Our anticipated scope of services will include the <br />following: <br />
