Subject Budget Estimate for Construction Materials Testing Proposed Clermont Community Center Clermont, Lake County, Florida Dear Mr. Fox: Ardaman & Associates, Inc. Is pleased to present this budget estimate to provide construction materials testing services on the above referenced project. It is our understanding that the proposed project will include the construction of an approximate 10,000 square foot 1 -story building with associated paved parking/drive areas and utility systems. The scope of our work will include performing laboratory testing of existing soils (Proctors, Limerodc Bearing Ratio and classification testing), in -place density testing of soils during backfill, fill and compaction operations, and compressive strength testing of concrete. We have also induded provisions for inspecting structural weld and bolted connections. We have assumed that we will provide the testing services on a "will call" basis. That is, we will respond to spedfic requests for testing made by your designated representative. Based on our experience with similar projects, we estimate a cost of $7,630.00 for construction materials testing. A summary of our testing estimate is attached. We believe that we have proposed an adequate budget to provide the needed services. However, the total cost for the testing services will be a function of the actual quantities of work performed in accordance with the attached fee schedule. Any testing not identified on the attached scope that is required on the protect will be charged according to the unit rates presented on the attached fee schedule. However, the total estimated cost will not be exceeded without your prior authorization. We appreciate the opportunity to submit this estimate and look forward to working with you on this project. If this estimate meets your approval, please indicate your acceptance by completing the attached Project Acceptance Sheet and /or providing us with written authorization to proceed. Please call if you have any { questions or require additional information. Respectfully, ARDAMAN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
