Quality Assurance Testing Proposal <br />Lexington Avenue Sidewalk, Roseville, MN <br />February 5, 2026 <br />AET ProposalNo. P-0050437 <br />cylinders) are required once per every 300 cubic yards of each type of concrete placed each <br />day; the cylinders will be retrieved the following day for curing and testing in our laboratory.The <br />3 cylinders are to be tested at 28-days.We are proposing to cast sets of 5 cylinders, with <br />compressive strength testing as follows: 1 at 7 days, 3 at 28 days, and the 5th cylinder will be <br />held in reserve for future testing if the 28-day strength requirement is not met. <br />We have assumed Citypersonnel will be compiling the concrete batch tickets, certificates of <br />compliance, and AET’s field test results of the plastic concrete, which we will provide each day <br />we are on-site performing testing services. <br />REPORTING <br />AET staff will prepare reports for the Cityto review.These reports will include the results of our <br />field and laboratory testing as performed per the 2023 MnDOT SMCand testing frequencies <br />referenced in the project documents.AET will complete the Preliminary Grading and Base <br />Report and the Final Grading and Base Report,once provided with final project quantities.Daily <br />field reports will also be preparedand made available upon request. <br />ESTIMATED FEES <br />Our services will be provided on a unit cost basis according to the unit rates provided in the <br />attached Materials Testing Estimate.Our invoices will be determined by multiplying the number <br />of personnel hours or tests by their respective unit rates.The rates are from the annual fee <br />schedule for 2026projects. <br />We have estimated a “minimum required estimate” for the project which estimates the tests <br />needed to satisfy the requirements as defined in the 2023 MnDOT SMCand the project <br />documents.The “likely needed estimate” is the cost that we anticipate will be required to <br />complete the previously described testing services, based on our experience,and assumed <br />scheduling of the project.Therefore, we propose a budget cost estimate using the “likely needed” <br />estimate for the scope of services for the project as outlined in this proposal.Our “likely needed” <br />estimated fee is $6,555.00.We refer you to the attached Materials Testing Estimate as reference <br />to how we arrived at this estimated cost. <br />We caution that this is only an estimated cost. Often, variations in the overall cost of the services <br />occur due to reasons beyond our control, such as weather delays, changes in the contractor’s <br />schedule, unforeseen conditions,or retesting.These variations will affect the actual invoice <br />totals, either increasing or decreasing our total costs for the project from those estimated in this <br />proposal.If more time or tests are required, additional fees may be needed to complete the <br />Page 3of 5 <br />Qbhf!95!pg!2:7 <br /> <br />
