Fiveash, P.E., CPESC Patrick.Fiveash@greshamsmith.com Su bject: PROPOSAL FOR GEOTECHNICAL EXPLORATION AND DESIGN SERVICES N. Jackson Street Roadway Improvements Athens, Tennessee GEOServices Proposal No. 14‐22643 Dear Mr. Fiveash: GEOServices, LLC appreciates the opportunity to provide you with our proposal for geotechnical exploration and design services for the proposed improvements to N. Jackson Street located in Athens, Tennessee. The following pro posal outlines our understanding of the project requirements based on our recent site visit and the subsequent conversations. This proposal provides a general description of the project, the associated costs, and the proposed schedule. In addition, we have attached our Agreement for Services that establishes contractual arrangements. This atta chment should be completed and forwarded to our office. PROJECT DESCRIPTION GEOServices traveled to the site on November 30, 2022, to observe the distress within the eastern drive lane and shoulder area of N. Jackson Street in Athens, Tennessee. Based on our conversations, we understand the southern shoulder of N. Jackson Street has experience d distress for some time. N. Jackson Street in this area is located at the crest of a slope which measures approximately 30 feet in height at the highest point. The slope separates the railroad tracks below from the roadway. The roadway distress currently exists as longitudinal cracks that run par allel to the traffic on North Jackson Street. We understand that proposed plans include removing the shoulder and shifting the roadway to the north away from the crest of the slope. We have been asked to perform a geotechnical exploration to determine the general subsurface conditions and provide remedial re commendations for the slope/roadway as necessary. 97
