Re: Proposal for Material Testing Services Proposed South American Exhibit Miller Park Zoo Bloomington, Illinois MET Proposal No. B22074

Dear Mr. Kerrick:

As requested, Midwest Engineering and Testing, Inc. (MET) is pleased to submit this proposal to provide material testing services for the above-referenced project. The objectives of our service are to conduct and interpret tests, and to report our findings as directed by your project personnel and/or project specifications.

Based upon the information provided, MET understands that the following material testing services may be required:

• Soil in connection with site grading

• Soil in connection with excavating for foundations

• Concrete in connection with interior slab and foundations

• Concrete masonry inspections

Supervision of the testing, observation and reporting is provided by a Registered Professional Engineer.

Reports will be issued on a weekly basis as work progresses. Invoices will be issued monthly, subsequent to the reporting period.

We propose to provide the required services on a unit price basis in accordance with the attached Standard Fee Schedule. We have also prepared a total budget estimate based upon an assumed number of site trips and laboratory tests. The budget is attached to this proposal. Because we have no control over the contractor’s schedule and production rate, this budget should be considered an estimate and not a guarantee of the fees required to complete the testing required by the project specifications.

Sincerely, Kelsey R. Tappendorf Project Engineer

Douglas P. Ramsey, P.E.

Principal Engineer
