GILLEN, RE,, P.P. BRUCE M. KOCH, P.E., P.P. BEHRAM TURAN, P.E. TREVOR J. TAYLOR, RE., P.P. LOUIS J. PLOSKONKA, P.E. Thank you for the opportunity to present this fee estimate for Professional Geotechnical Engineering Services relative to the NJSP Marine Barracks. It is our understanding that the proposed project will consist of a 62 feet wide by 80 feet long one -story structure comprising of a footprint area of approximately 4,960 sq. ft., and appurtenant parking area comprising approximately 37,900 square feet. Based upon our review of published geological literature, and our experience in the area, the subsurface conditions are expected to consist of granular historic fills underlain by upper glacial drift soils consisting of fine grained silt and clay with varying percentages of sand and gravel extending to a depth of approximately 25 feet. The upper glacial drift grades with depth into a compact to very compact glacial till consisting also of fine grained silts and clays with varying percentages of gravel and sand, and possibly containing cobbles and boulders. At a depth of approximately 40 feet, very dense sands are expected to occur below the glacial deposits. Our proposed scope of services is as follows: — To retain a drilling contractor in order to advance a total of two (2) test borings within the proposed building area. — To provide full -time controlled observation of the work of the drilling contractor. — To perform laboratory testing in order to evaluate index properties and compressibility coefficients of the soils encountered. is SACarteretTroposalst2012 -033 - NJSP Marine Barracks 3- 1- 12.doc CONSULTING AND hM10'AL ENGWEQS 1460 ROUTE 9 SOUTH, HOWELL, NEW JERSEY 07731— (732) 4627400 — FAX: (732) 4090756 John P.

All test borings will be performed utilizing standard drilling techniques under the full -time controlled observation of a representative of CME Associates. Test borings will be advanced utilizing Hollow Stem Auger and /or Mud Drilling techniques. Soil samples will be obtained from within the borehole by means of a two -inch outside diameter split spoon sampler driven in accordance with ASTM Designation D -1586 for the Standard Penetration Test. Soil samples will be obtained continuously within the upper twelve feet and at five foot intervals thereafter. All soil samples will be classified in the field in accordance with the Burmister Soil Identification System. All soil samples will then be transported to a reputable soil mechanics laboratory for further evaluation and testing. The results of the field explorations and laboratory testing will provide the basis for the preparation of final boring logs and subsequent evaluations and analyses. The analyses will be performed utilizing accepted industry standards under the direction of a licensed geotechnical engineer. The results of our explorations and analyses will be submitted in the report. Estimated Fee For Services ........................................... ............................... $8,500.00 General Conditions of Services Right of Entry The client shall provide for right -of -entry for all CME Associates (CME) personnel and equipment necessary to perform the intended scope of services.

Inferred Conditions The client understands that actual subsurface conditions may vary from those which are encountered at the locations of borings, test pits, or other such subsurface explorations. CME will base`interpretations and recommendations upon conditions inferred from the conditions encountered. Client recognizes that any future determination of conditions different than those which were encountered at the sampling locations may significantly impact the interpretations and recommendations provided by CME. Any such variation of conditions should be brought to the prompt attention of CME to assess the impact of the variations on the previously provided interpretations and recommendations. CME will take no responsibility for any interpretation or recommendation others may make based upon subsurface data provided by CME.

Discovery of Unanticipated Hazardous Materials Hazardous materials or certain types of hazardous materials may exist at the site where there is no reason to believe they could or should be present. CME and client agree that the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials constitutes a changed condition mandating a renegotiation of the scope of work or termination of services. CME and client also agree that the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials will make it necessary for CME to take immediate measures to protect human health and safety, and /or the environment. CME agrees to notify client as soon as practically possible should unanticipated hazardous materials or suspected hazardous materials be encountered.
