September 21, 2011 Mr. Chad M. Smitley, PE BSA Life Structures 9365 Counselors Row Indianapolis, Indiana 46240 RE: Proposal for Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Investigation Proposed Development at Ignition Park South Bend, Indiana ATC Proposal No. 023G -2011 -0176 Dear Mr. Smitley: www. atcassoci ates. corn 2224 Industrial Drive, Suite A Highland, IN 46322 Phone: 219- 922 -7235 Fax: 219- 922 -7243 As per your request, ATC Associates Inc. (ATC) is pleased to submit the following proposal for conducting a geotechnical investigation for the subject project. ATC is a nationwide engineering consulting firm that specializes in geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, construction materials testing and inspection services. For detailed company information, please visit our web site at www,atcassociates.com. PROJECT INFORMATION We understand that the Ignition Park, which covers approximately 80 acres of vacant land, will be developed in South Bend, Indiana. No detailed layout of the proposed development is available at this time. We have been informed that the proposed development will likely have one to two story office buildings with no basements. For the purpose of the proposal, we assume that the proposed buildings will be supported on shallow foundations. In the absence of any loading information, we assume that the wall and column loads will reportedly not exceed about 5 kips per lineal ft and 200 kips per column, respectively. The finished ground floors will presumably be at or near the existing ground surface. The site is currently a vacant lot that was reportedly developed in the past. No information regarding the past development was provided. The purpose of this investigation is to obtain preliminary information regarding the subsurface soil and groundwater conditions noted at 12 selected boring locations. Once the layout of the development is finalized, additional soil borings and analysis will be required to develop final geotechnical recommendations. SCOPE OF WORK 1. ATC will prepare a health and safety plan (HSP) prior to any field activities. The drawings provided to us will be utilized to determine the boring locations at the site. We request that an existing ground surface topographic map be provided to estimate the ground surface elevations for each boring location. No surveying is included in the proposal.
