City of Arden Hills <br />2028 Pavement Management Project <br />Proposal QTB221496 <br />September4, 2025 <br />We also understand from conversations with Bolton & Menk, Inc. that Shoreline Lane is experiencing <br />settlement around the utility manhole structures. Depending on soil boring exploration, a M&O or FDR may <br />not be suitable, and a full reconstruction may be needed to correct either soft, loose or compressible soils. <br />Purpose <br />The purpose of our geotechnical evaluation will be to characterize subsurface geologic conditions at <br />selected exploration locations, evaluate their impact on the project, and provide geotechnical <br />recommendations for the design and construction of the 2028 Pavement Management Project. <br />Scope of Services <br />We propose the following tasks to help achieve the stated purpose. If we encounter unfavorable or <br />unforeseen conditions during the completion of our tasks that lead us to recommend an expanded scope of <br />services, we will contact you to discuss the conditions before resuming our services. <br />Site Access <br />Based on aerial photographs, it appears that the site is accessible to a truck mounted drill rig for soil borings <br />and a pick-up truck mounted with a coring machine for the pavement cores. We assume there will be no <br />cause for delays in accessing the exploration locations. We are not including debris or obstruction removal, <br />grading of navigable paths, or snow plowing. <br />Depending on access requirements, ground conditions or potential utility conflicts, our field crew may alter <br />the exploration locations from those proposed to facilitate accessibility. <br />Staking <br />We will stake prospective subsurface exploration locations, as selected by Braun Intertec, and obtain surface <br />elevations at those locations using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology. In order to link the GPS data <br />to an appropriate reference, we request that you provide CAD files indicating location/elevation references <br />appropriate for this project, or give us contact information for the consultant that might have such <br />information. <br />Utility Clearance <br />Prior to drilling or excavating, we will contact Gopher State One Call and arrange for notification of the <br />appropriate utility vendors to mark and clear the exploration locations of public underground utilities. You, or <br />your authorized representative, are responsible to notify us before we begin our work of the presence and <br />Location of any underground objects or private utilities that are not the responsibility of public agencies. <br />ROW Permit and Work Hours <br />We will obtain a right-of-way (ROW) permit through the City of Arden Hills (City) prior to beginning our <br />fieldwork. We assume the City will waive permit fees as we will be completing the work for them. We assume <br />Braun Intertec Page 2 <br />
