Geotechnical Drilling and Sampling Services, Hemlock Dam, Sauk County Wisconsin

We are submitting this proposal in response to the request of Mr. Adam Schneider, P.E, of Ayres Associates, Inc. on May 9, 2022.  The requested work scope is to drill and sample one 20 foot soil boring, or to auger refusal is encountered shallower than the scheduled soil boring depth.  The soil boring location is anticipated to require the use of an off-road drilling rig. 

The scope of work is summarized as follows. 

•  Mobilize on rubber track drilling rig.
•  Drill and sample one 20-foot soil boring, with sampling at 2.5 foot intervals. 
•  Collect one bulk sample of soil from the auger cuttings.
• Bentonite backfill the borehole.
• Contact Diggers Hotline for public utility locating and marking
•  This-spread the soil cuttings at the soil boring location.
•  Laboratory testing of soils for hydrometer and Proctor values.
•  Laboratory classification of the soils and preparation of a computer-generated soil boring log. 
•  Summary report with the laboratory test results and soil boring log.

Surveying for the soil boring location and ground elevation will be provided by Ayres Associates, Inc.

The total estimated charge for the one 20-foot soil boring and the requested laboratory testing in $2,010.00, excluding engineering analyses.  We will charge for the total footage drilled and sampled for the soil boring. 

We will adjust the soil boring location as needed to avoid marked utility lines, trees, guy wires, landscaping, and other obstructions; and taking into account accessibility with the drilling rig.

The total estimated charge does not include private utility locate, site surveying, encountering contaminated soil or groundwater, roadway or occupancy permits, traffic control, pavement coring, drilling through concrete, snow plowing or removal, tree cutting or removal, providing or setting matting for equipment access over soft or landscaped ground, crane rental, working at night or on weekends, crop damage payments, repair of damage to landscaping or the ground surface by the drilling equipment, laboratory testing, drilling inside of structures, nor engineering analysis or a report.  Our crew will leave the soil cuttings generated from the soil boring at the drilling site.
