City of Elk River -HRA – Main and Gates Redevelopment; Elk River, Minnesota AET Proposal No. P-0001445 April 12, 2021 Page 2 of 4 American Engineering Testing, Inc. We assume that the Client will backfill and repair any boreholes that may slough after our exploration is complete. AET cannot accept any liability associated with pedestrian injury after we leave the site. Based on our knowledge of the site we plan to drill the borings with a truck mounted drill vehicle. Accessing the boring locations may leave ruts in the ground. We assume that the Client will perform any site restoration work. We have not included a fee for site restoration in our cost estimate. Underground Utilities Before we drill, we will contact Gopher State One Call to locate public underground utilities. Gopher State One Call does not currently charge for this service, but they will not locate private underground utilities or structures. Examples of private utilities include, but are not limited to, propane lines, sewer laterals, sprinkler systems, site lighting, and electric and data lines between buildings. Gopher State One Call indicates that the property owner is responsible for locating all private underground utilities and structures. We request that you please coordinate this activity with the owner and AET prior to AET beginning any subsurface exploration. Also, please provide us with any maps, plans and records showing the location of all private utilities and structures. We can provide you with names and contact information for private utility locators. These companies usually charge a fee for their services. Also, please note that private locators cannot guarantee that all private utilities will be located. For the private locator to be accurate and effective, the property owner must provide maps, plans and records showing the location of all private utilities and structures. The property owner must also provide a knowledgeable site representative to meet with the private locator and AET personnel. AET shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy of all location information supplied by any source. We will not be responsible for any damages to underground utilities or structures not located or incorrectly identified by the property owner, any maps, plans or records, or public or private utility locator providers. Laboratory Testing We will initiate routine laboratory testing by reviewing each recovered soil sample to assess the major and minor soil components, while also noting the color, degree of saturation, and lenses or seams in the samples. If we encounter cohesive soil, we will test selected samples for moisture content. On completion of testing, we will visually/manually classify each sample on the basis of texture and plasticity in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System and prepare the boring logs. Report Following the field and laboratory services, the logs of the test borings, the laboratory test results will be provided.
