Prepare maps for field reconnaissance and analysis of residential properties. II. Perform field reconnaissance of all residential properties in the project area, estimated to be about 32 properties, with City of Bremerton (COB) and Parametrix team members. Walk top and bottom of bluff/slope to review bluff stability conditions with respect to siting of a grinder/pump facility at each property. Choose preliminary location for a boring at 5 backyard sites. III. Prepare informal maps and notes and meet with COB and Parametrix team members to discuss preliminary observations and opinions regarding feasibility of project. Make preliminary decisions about individual properties' feasibility related to sewer improvements. IV. Perform 5 borings to about 10 feet deep in selected residential backyards with portable drilling and soil sampling equipment. Subcontractor CN Drilling will perform the drilling and soil sampling for S&W, using portable drilling equipment. Accomplish utility checks in coordination with COB personnel. No monitoring wells will be installed. V. Analyze information gained from reconnaissance and borings to understand the stability conditions on individual and groups of properties. Develop ranking system from which to make recommendations regarding grinder/pump facilities, including approximate setback requirements, associated risks, and infeasible lots. Identify lots for which additional geotechnical explorations and/or analysis would be prudent during the design phase of the project. VI. Prepare draft report and meet with COB and Parametrix to discuss the results of the study. VII. Prepare final report after receiving comments from COB and Parametrix. VIII. Additional Services as required and as directed by the COB in writing. Assumptions: 1. The COB will obtain rights-of-entry and —exploration for the geotechnical work. ' 2. The COB will obtain permits for the geotechnical explorations, including shoreline permit or exemption. Shannon & Wilson will provide description of the work and equipment for the permit application. 3. Parametrix will provide up-to-date topographic maps with cultural features and detailed topography suitable for field mapping and slope stability evaluation. 4. Five portable borings are adequate to evaluate the marginally stable properties identified during reconnaissance. If not, as many as 10 additional portable borings would be drilled 21-1-20522-001 EXHIBIT A and sampled. A budget contingency will be prepared (per boring basis) for such additional work. This work is being performed to support a pre-design of the Washington Avenue sewer project, in which alternatives will be developed and evaluated based on capital and operation costs, and on impacts to the residences. Additional geotechnical exploration and evaluation may be necessary during ensuing preliminary and final design phases of the project. 21-1-20522-001 EXHIBIT B SCHEDULE Complete Review of Records and Field Reconnaissance 4 weeks from NTP Complete Preliminary Borings 6 weeks from NTP Submit Draft Report 8 weeks from NTP Finalize Report 2 weeks after final review 21-1-20522-001 EXHIBIT C EXPLORATIONS AND GEOTECHNICAL ANALYSIS 1.
