SOIL ENGINEERING SERVICES
Gentlemen:
We propose to provide soil engineering services for the Gellert
Boulevard Extension Project. This proposal is based on the
scope of services determined necessary after discussing the project
and-reviewing preliminary plans with Mr. Tronoff. The proposed
extension is shown on drawing number Mi (Tronoff survey number 5906
dated 28 October 1970), entitled "Map Showing Boundaries of Gellert
Boulevard Extension Project Assessment District."
Our services will be in relation to the approximate 1,800 lineal
feet of roadway cons truction mainly within the lands of Callan
and situated primarily within the City of South San Francisco but
partly within the County of San Mateo. Grading for the roadway
improvement will involve a high cut slope along the westerly side
of the street and extensive filling beneath the northern portion.
We Understand that the proposed cut will r'esult in slope heights
up to a maximum of 110 feet. Filling at the north end will involVe
the placement of approximately 500,000 cubic yards of'fill up to
100 feet deep in an area presently occupied by previously placed
fill and soft silt deposits. We propose to provide services in
two phases as follows:
1. Investigation and Design Phase - Investigation for design of cut
slopes and fill foundations and consultation with the design engineers
to provide earthwork recommendations, criteria and specifications for
the project; preparation of specifications for street subgrade pre-
paration (including subdrainage if needed), utility trench back fill

and determination of an appropriate pavement section based upon
des i, gn parameters to be furnished by the City of South San Francisco-
and/or the .county of San Mateo.
2. Construction Phase - Observation and testing during grading and'
improvement construction including such items as:
a. observation of t~e cut~ areas during excavation;
b. '~ modify fill foundations as necessary to suit the
field conditions during construction;
c. testing of general fill compaction;
d. testing of subgrade compaction;
e. observation and testing of utility trench backfill with
the street right-of-way and
f. quality testing of the pavement, materials.
We propose to provide the services described for fees as follows'
A. A fixed fee of $10,000 for the investigative phaSe of the work
which may be further subdivided into' (1) $7,000 for.the investi-
gation of the cut slopes along the alignment of the road and (2)
$3~000 for the investigation of the fill area presently occupied by
the soft silt deposits and previously placed fill.
B. $24,000 for the engineering observation and testing during the
execution of the grading and improvements.
The quoted fee is based on the following assumed conditions'
1. Completion of design, grading and street improvements,
including underground utilities within a period of 6 months
or 120 working days, whichever is shorter within the calen-
dar year of 1972; and
2. That we will be provided with the necessary plans and
drawings for evaluation and review and that the final grad-
lng and improvement work will not differ substantially from
that indicated from the previously referenced preliminary
plans. Any substantial change in plans and deviation from
the above listed conditions will require an adjustment in the
fee
We propose the following Schedule of payments for soil engineering
services. $107000 due and payable upon submission of our Soil
Investigation Report and $4,000 due and payable 4 weeks after grad-
ing begins and each 4 weeks thereafter. In the event the work is
completed prior to the end of the sixth 4 week period (120 working
File No. H2-0064-F1

!
days), the remaining portion of the total fee will become due
and payable.
In the event that any phase of the work outlined in the above
paragraph 2 extends beyond the 6 months or 120 working day
period~ our charges for services after ~the 120 working day per-
iod would be baSed on our current Fee Schedule, attached. We
suggest 'that a contingency sum of $10,000 be set aside for this
eventual ity.
We will be able to provide preliminary recom~nendations to enable
the design and drawings to proceed within 3 weeks after receiving
authorization. Our final investigation report will be completed
about 6 weeks after authorization is received.
Agreement and authorization 'can be provided by signing and return-
ing one copy of this letter. Please let us know if you have any
questions concerning this proposal.
Very truly yours,

Gentlemen:
Further to our proposal letter of 27 April 1972, we under-
stand that the initial payment of $i0,000 cannot be made
until funds are avai'lable to the assessment district. We
agree that the inital payment will not be made until, f~mds
have been received by the district from sale of bonds or
cash payments by assessed owners.
We are prepared to begin work when authorized by responsible.
authority. We understand that such authorization ~ao'uld probably
take the form of a resolution by the city council naming Harian
Engineers as the soil engineers for the project.
Sincerely,
