Maser Consulting P.A. is pleased to submit this proposal to provide professional services for a
proposed OEM building in the Borough of Carteret, Middlesex County, New Jersey. The property
in question is located at the intersection of Pershing Avenue and Sharot Street. The property is
currently developed with a one -story structure and parking lot.
The proposed development consists of rehabilitating the existing structure, adding a second story
and a new entry vestibule. Additionally, various site improvements may be required as part of this
project. Since this project is for the Borough, it is considered a capital improvement project and
Planning or Zoning Board review is not required.
This proposal is divided into four sections as follows:
Section I — Scope of Services
Section II — Business Terms and Conditions
Section III — Technical Staff Hourly Rate Schedule and Reimbursable Expenses
Section N — Client Contract Authorization
The following scope of services has been separated htto phases so that it may be more easily
reviewed. The order in which the phases are presented generally follows the sequence in which
the project will be accomplished; however, depending on the project, the various authorized
services contained in this proposal may be performed in a sequence as deemed appropriate by
Maser Consulting to meet project schedules.

Mr. John DuPont
MC Proposal No. 16001904P
Revised Atrgrs130, 2016

SECTION I — SCOPE OF SERVICES
Based on our conversations and information noted above, we propose to complete the following:
PHASE 1.0 BOUNDARY AND TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY
Maser Consulting P.A. will prepare a Boundary Survey of Block 5805, Lots 18 & 19 in the
Borough of Carteret, Middlesex County, NJ, in accordance with the standards set forth in the Laws
of the State of New Jersey Statutory Reference NJSA 45:8 -28(e) and more specifically, the
administrative rules and regulations promulgated by the State Board of Professional Engineers and
Land Surveyors and contained in N.J.A.C. 13:40 -5.1.
The basis for the location survey will be the cover deed(s) of record of the subject properties and
the adjacent parcels present cover deeds of record along with the physical evidence recovered in
the field.
The quoted fee is based on the assumption that the deed(s) for the properties mathematically close,
that there are no title problems, that there are no overlaps or gores with adjoining properties and
that extraordinary research and analysis is not required. In the event that any of these issues occur
during the performance of our work, we will discuss any additional work that may be required and
related costs with you before the work is performed.
Included in this phase of work are the following tasks:
• Public records research and pre -field records review;
• Field traverse, location survey and data collection;
• Field survey data reduction and computation;
• Boundary analysis and survey calculations.
The client should furnish the surveyor with the following information /documents before we initiate
work on the project:
a.) A copy of the property deed(s) of record.
b.) A copy of the property title binder.
c.) A copy of all adjoining deeds and reference filed maps. (MC can obtain this information
for you if you are unable to through our subcontractor. This fee will be passed onto you
as a reimbursable expense).
d.) A corner marker waiver form (unless corner markers are desired to be set for which there
is an additional fee).
e.) A statement in writing of the person or persons to be named in the certification of survey
(form available).
In addition to the Boundary Survey, Maser Consulting will perform a Topographic Survey of Lots
18 & 19. We will prepare a topographical survey map that is a graphic pictorial representation of
the above ground features within the project area. For the purposes of this project, the
topographical mapping will be 30 scale with one foot contours. The contouring information will
Nh•. John DuPont
MC Proposal No. 16001904P
Revised Augtsl 30, 2016
Page 3 of 11
be generated through ground survey work and include the area within the boundaries of Lots 18 &
19 with a 25 foot overlap onto adjacent properties and a half width of the road frontages. The
survey will include contours, spot elevations and locations of buildings, driveways, curbing,
sidewalks, ramps, parking areas, striping, signs, etc. We will survey finished floor elevations at all
doorways and the height (parapet and roof) of the onsite building, and the finished floor elevation
of the adjacent building to the north. We will locate accessible above - ground visible utilities
including utility poles, roof leaders, storm structures, sanitary manholes, water valves, hydrants
and other identifiable utilities within the project area. Invert elevations of the accessible storm and
sanitary structures will be measured. Two (2) onsite benchmarks will be set.
Although we will survey visible evidence of existing utilities, we may not be able to confirm the
existence, or actual position of all underground utilities which may be running through, or
servicing the subject property. The NJ One Call System prohibits the use of its service for
surveying and mapping of subsurface utilities for engineering design purposes. If requested we
can enlist the set-vices of our subsurface utility group to investigate and mark the approximate
location of subsurface utilities that may exist on the site. The fee for this additional service will be
negotiated at the time of the request.
The primary survey control will be established using GPS. The horizontal control points will be
tied to the New Jersey State Plane Coordinate System, North American Datum (NAD) 1983, and
the vertical control points will be tied to North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88).
Phase IAA Lump Sum Fee for Boundary Survey
Phase LOB Lump Sunr Fee for Topographic Survey
$2,250.00
$2,000.00
PHASE 2.0 STRUCTURAL INSPECTION OF EXISTING RETAINING WALL
Maser Consulting will visit the site, and visually inspect the subject retaining wall. The structural
inspection will consist of performing a comprehensive visual inspection. The scope of this
inspection is to report the general condition of the retaining wall and make a recommendation of
repair /reface or replace.
The inspection will be conducted in accordance with generally accepted practices of the
engineering industry. All accessible areas of the wall will be inspected for overall integrity and
condition. The inspection will be by non - destructive, non - invasive means with no demolition or
removal of enclosed items. No special equipment is included in this proposal.
All findings, pertinent information, and recommendations will be put in a letter form. The
inspection will be performed by a licensed Professional Structural Engineer, who has performed
numerous structural inspections for various clients of Maser.

improvements. The plan will show proposed site modifications and existing conditions to

A utility design is not included since it is anticipated that utilities will be connected internally.
The client and /or the Project Architect will be responsible for providing user specific design
parameters. These include building footprhrts, minimum /maximum slopes and relation of the

services if required.
• The project is not anticipated to add impervious cover. The vestibule will be added to an area
that is already impervious. Therefore, stormwater management analysis and /or design is not
