Laboratory Testing Program The laboratory testing program will depend upon the type of soils encountered during our field exploration and the quality of samples obtained. Laboratory tests will include, but may not be limited to, the following: • In place moisture and density tests. • Collapse. • Expansion. • Chloride, sulfate, minimum electrical resistivity, and pH. • Sieve Analysis. • Modified Proctor. • Direct Shear. Data Analysis and Report Preparation Data obtained from the exploratory borings and the laboratory testing program will be evaluated. One (1) report will be prepared which will include the following items: • Project and site description. • Discussion on the field procedures used in the investigation. • A discussion of the materials encountered in the borings and their measured engineering properties. • Logs of the exploratory borings summarizing the subsurface conditions encountered, and a plan indicating the locations of the explorations. • Depth to groundwater (if encountered) and its impact on the proposed development. • Discussion on the laboratory test results. • Water infiltration rate Seismic design recommendation based on 2013 CBC. • Site grading recommendation. • Shrinkage and subsidence co -efficient associated with grading. • Allowable soils bearing pressure for foundation design. • Lateral earth pressures. • Foundation subgrade preparation recommendations. • Walkway subgrade preparation recommendation. Task 4 — Design Development Plan Based on the conceptual plan provided by the City, DEA will prepare a 50% design development package including landscape architectural, civil and electrical engineering plans, in addition to draft technical specifications and a preliminary cost estimate. Prior to moving forward with the 50% plans, DEA will collaborate with the city and obtain approval of the site plan to ensure our interpretation of the conceptual plan is in accordance with the overall design intent. We understand that while the conceptual plan that was included in the RFP included Orange County Flood Control Property, the final design will not encroach on Flood Control land. Deliverables: Preparation of design development level site plan for initial approval prior to commencing work with the remainder of the 50% complete PS&E package as described above. CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT PHASE Deliverables during the construction document phase are as follows: Two full sets of the construction documents for review at 90% in addition to one electronic PDF copy on CD in AutoCAD 2012 or 2015 (as desired). At 100% completion, DEA will provide two full sized sets of signed and sealed bond copies in addition to one electronic PDF copy. Technical specifications shall also be reviewed at 90% and 100% completion and prepared in accordance with City requirements. Two hard copies and two electronic copies (MS Word and PDF) will be provided at each of the 90% and 100% submittals.
