Re: Proposal for Construction Materials Testing Services
2014 State -Aid Street Overlays
SAP 113 - 109 -006
38th Ave., 39th Ave., & Stinson Boulevard
Columbia Heights, Minnesota
Dear Ms. Young:
Proposal QTB007123
We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal for construction materials testing services for the
2014 State -Aid Streets Overlay Project for the City of Columbia Heights.
Our Understanding of Project
This project will include minor aggregate base placement, with the majority of work being mill and
general bituminous overlays, concrete sidewalk, pedestrian ramps, curb and gutter, and catch basin
improvements. The project is located on 38th Avenue, 39th Avenue, Stinson Boulevard, 44 1/2 Avenue,
and Grand Avenue. Approximately two blocks on Stinson Boulevard will be full depth reclaimed.
This proposal is based on our review of the documents described below. If the project changes from the
information provided in these documents, we may have to submit a revised scope of services and cost.
■ Request for Proposal E -mail dated June 24, 2014.
■ Plans prepared by the City of Columbia Heights dated May 1, 2014 (Digital).
■ Addendum Number One prepared by the City of Columbia Heights (Digital).
This project is a City of Columbia Heights project with State -Aid funding. Projects that are constructed
with State -Aid funding are required to perform Quality Control and Quality Assurance (QC /QA) testing in
accordance with the Minnesota Department of Transportation's (MnDOT's) Schedule of Materials
Control. Personnel with MnDOT certifications must complete the monitoring and testing. Braun Intertec
will perform the QA field testing on the project for the items listed in our scope and as shown on our
construction materials testing cost estimate. The contractor will be responsible for performing all of the
required QC testing and submitting all the documentation upon completion of the project. An audit of
the project could be conducted upon completion by the funding agency. The audit may include reviewing
tests and paperwork provided by your QC /QA representative.

The Braun Intertec Difference
At Braun Intertec we strive to not only provide the essential services required to meet the minimum
project requirements, but to add measureable value in assisting the client to deliver a high quality project
in a timely manner. We recognize the need to provide more than solely field testing on projects in order
to verify that the project requirements have been met and that the project will be audited successfully.
To reach this end Braun Intertec has the largest pool of experienced certified technicians in Minnesota,
knowledgeable project managers specialized in Federal, State, and State -Aid projects, and a culture of
customer service. This allows us to meet and exceed client expectations, verify complete and
competent testing is performed, and provide a final report which includes the information necessary to
successfully complete a project audit is produced. Braun Intertec has a dedicated team of expert
certified staff with the experience and knowledge necessary to perform and verify compliance with the
Schedule of Materials Control.
Experienced Personnel
At Braun Intertec we have a group of knowledgeable staff who understand how to perform the necessary
tests and are MnDOT certified in each specialized field. Our extensive pool of certified employees and
numerous office locations allows us to be responsive to project needs and flexible regarding project
scheduling. Technicians in our metro offices have the following MnDOT certifications:
• Aggregate Production
• Grading & Base I
• Grading & Base II
• Concrete Field I
• Concrete Field 11
• Concrete Plant I
• Concrete Plant 11
• Bituminous Plant I
• Bituminous Plant 11
Knowledgeable Project Managers
We have a number of experienced project managers who specialize in State -Aid and Federal Projects.
Their knowledge of the material certification process, MnDOT's Schedule of Material Control, required
documentation, and the audit process is a valuable resource toward meeting project requirements. Our
project managers are responsible for communicating test results quickly, submitting required
documentation which include the preliminary and final grading and base reports, and weekly concrete
reports. As a result of past work our project managers have a working relationship with MnDOT staff and
are able to get timely responses to questions and resolve issues to keep the project on schedule. Their
specialized expertise is vital to the successful completion of the project and verifying the requirements of
the project are met.
Customer Service
On any project, communication and establishing expectations are key to achieving customer satisfaction.
To that end, our testers and project managers communicate regularly with the inspectors and project
engineers. In our experience it is important to communicate material certification and testing on an
City of Columbia Heights
Proposal QTB007123
July 7, 2014
Page 3
ongoing basis. It is vital that information be quickly communicated to verify that all of the required
testing has been completed prior to that portion of the work being completed to avoid materials
exceptions at the end of the project. Braun Intertec also uses advanced technology, such as our cell
phone and laptop based Metafield° program, to improve the material testing communication process.
Using these tools we are able to record and report testing information quickly back to our office so that
the information can be reviewed and sent to the client in a timely manner. This process allows us to
provide the client with the most current information as to our compliance with the MnDOT's material
certification program and project requirements.
Final Materials Certification Report
As the project progresses, our experienced transportation project managers compile the project
documentation into a final report designed to meet the requirements of an audit. Braun Intertec has
been successfully audited numerous times on state and federally funded projects in the past and
received positive feedback regarding our process. Our experience with these audits has led us to develop
the format for our final report in order to provide a clear and simple document that provides the
necessary information. In our experience, having our final report on file reduces the amount of time
needed to satisfy the audit requirements, presents all the materials information in a single well
organized document, and minimizes any audit related costs or potential loss of funding for the owner.
As documented in the yearly audit results failure to adequately complete or document testing and
material certification can result in significant funds being withheld. Our report includes the following
items:
■ Copies of Certification Cards for Braun Intertec employees conducting testing on this project.
■ Completed MnDOT Materials Certification Exceptions Summary for items tested by
Braun Intertec.
■ Completed Preliminary and Final Grading and Base Report.
■ All Moisture, Density, DCP, Proctor and Gradation test reports.
■ Concrete mix designs.
■ Weekly concrete reports.
■ Concrete compressive strength results.
■ Bituminous mix designs.
■ Bituminous verification test results.
■ Bituminous Contractor's summary sheets.
■ Completed Density Incentive /Disincentive worksheets.

■ Copies of concrete and bituminous plant certifications.
Scope of Services
Testing services will be performed on an on -call, as- needed basis as requested and scheduled by you or
your onsite project personnel. Based on our understanding of the project, we propose the following
services:
Soils
The soil testing for this project will consist of the following:
■ Perform Standard Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) tests on aggregate base and full depth
reclaimed material.
■ Perform moisture content tests at time of compaction on all backfill materials.
■ Perform gradation tests on aggregate base and full depth reclaimed materials.
■ Assemble the preliminary and final grading and base report along with assembling the
random sampling locations report for the aggregate base and shouldering according to
MnDOT Specifications.
Concrete
The concrete testing for this project will consist of the following:
■ Perform slump, temperature and air content tests on the plastic concrete prior to placement.
■ Cast 4 -inch by 8 -inch cylinders for compressive strength testing.
■ Laboratory compressive strength testing of cylinders.
■ Develop the Weekly Concrete Reports for the Project Engineer's review and their submittal
to MnDOT's Concrete Office.
Bituminous
The bituminous testing and monitoring for this project will consist of the following:
■ Collect one verification sample per mix per day of production. Perform quality assurance tests
on these samples which include rice specific gravity, asphalt content, extracted aggregate

Page 5
■ Observe the contractor coring and core testing in accordance with MnDOT's specifications, which
include watching quality control personnel weigh the cores at their laboratory.
Reporting and Project Management
Test results will be issued for the project as the various tasks are performed. If, at any time, there are
failing tests or we observe construction processes which do not appear to be in accordance with the
plans and specifications or MnDOT's Schedule of Materials Control, we will notify the engineer's
representative and any others that we are directed to notify.
Scheduling Assumptions
Based on our understanding of the project and the available project information, we assume the work for
this phase of the project will proceed according to the following schedules:
■ Standard DCP's will be performed for the aggregate base and full depth reclaimed materials, a
minimum of two DCPs will be conducted each trip with two trips assumed.
■ Bituminous paving will be completed in three days for this project.
■ Three sets of concrete tests are assumed to complete this project.
■ We assume MnDOT's Metro Inspections Group is performing the Concrete and Bituminous Batch
Plant observations and testing for this project.
■ We assume the bituminous contractor will cut the bituminous cores as outlined in MnDOT's 2360
specification.
If the pace of construction is different than described above, this proposal should be revised.
Cost
We will furnish the services described herein for an estimated fee of $7,179. Our estimated costs are
based on industry averages for construction production. Depending on the contractor's performance
our costs may be significantly reduced or slightly higher than estimated. For the limits of this proposal
we have estimated the testing rate and contractor's production based off our experience and have
provided what we feel is a fair and realistic budget estimate. A tabulation showing our estimated hourly
and /or unit rates associated with our proposed scope of services is also attached.
We would be happy to meet with you to discuss our proposed scope of services further, clarify the
various scope components, and discuss how the scope may be adjusted to meet your projects
requirements.

Additional Services and Overtime
It is difficult to estimate all of the services, and the quantity of each service, that will be required for any
project. Our services are also directly controlled by the schedule and performance of others. For these
reasons, our actual hourly or unit quantities and associated fees may vary from those reported herein.
If the number of hours or units ultimately required exceed those assumed for purposes of this proposal,
they will be invoiced at the hourly or unit rates shown in the attached tabulation. If services are
ultimately required that have not been identified or described herein, they will be invoiced in accordance
with our current Schedule of Charges. Prior to exceeding our estimated fees, we will update you
regarding the progress of our work. Fees associated with additional services will be summarized in a
Change Order and submitted to you for review and authorization.
This proposal was developed with the understanding that the scope of services defined herein will be
required and requested during our normal work hours of 7:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
Services that we are asked to provide to meet the project requirements or a contractor's construction
schedule outside our normal work hours will be invoiced using an overtime rate factor. The factor for
services provided outside our normal work hours or on Saturday will be 1.25 times the normal hourly
rate for the service provided. The factor for services provided on Sunday or legal holidays will be 1.5
times the normal hourly rate for the service provided.
General Remarks
We appreciate the opportunity to present this proposal to you. It is provided in duplicate so the original
can be retained for your records and the copy can be signed and returned to us. Please return the
signed copy in its entirety.
The proposed fee is based on the scope of services described and the assumptions that our services will
be authorized within 30 days and that others will not delay us beyond our proposed schedule.

making specific reference to the provision
modified.
1.2 The words "you," "we," "us," and "our"
include officers, employees, and
subcontractors.
1.3 In the event you use a purchase order or
other form to authorize our services, any
conflicting or additional terms are not part of
our Agreement. Directing us to start work prior
to execution of this Agreement constitutes your
acceptance. If, however, mutually acceptable
terms cannot be established, we have the right
to withdraw our proposal without liability to
you or others, and you will compensate us for
services already rendered.
Section 2: Our Responsibilities
2.1 We will provide the services specifically
described in our Agreement with you. You
agree that we are not responsible for services
that are not fairly included in our specific
undertaking. Unless otherwise agreed in
writing, our findings, opinions, and
recommendations will be provided to you in
writing. You agree not to rely on oral findings,
opinions, or recommendations without our
written approval.
2.2 In performing our professional services,
we will use that degree of care and skill
ordinarily exercised under similar
circumstances by reputable members of our
profession practicing in the same locality. If you
direct us to deviate from our recommended
procedures, you agree to hold us harmless from
claims, damages, and expenses arising out of
your direction.
2.3 We will reference our field observations
and sampling to available reference points, but
we will not survey, set, or check the accuracy of
those points unless we accept that duty in
writing. Locations of field observations or
sampling described in our report or shown on
our sketches are based on information
provided by others or estimates made by our
personnel. You agree that such dimensions,
depths, or elevations are approximations unless
specifically stated otherwise in the report. You
accept the inherent risk that samples or
observations may not be representative of
things not sampled or seen and, further, that
site conditions may change overtime.
2.4 Our duties do not include supervising your
contractors or commenting on, overseeing, or
providing the means and methods of their
work, unless we accept such duties in writing.
We will not be responsible for the failure of
your contractors to perform in accordance with
their undertakings, and the providing of our
services will not relieve others of their
responsibilities to you or to others.
2.5 We will provide a health and safety
program for our employees, but we will not be
responsible for contractor, job, or site health or
safety unless we accept that duty in writing.
2.6 You will provide, at no cost to us,
appropriate site safety measures as to work
areas to be observed or inspected by us. Our
employees are authorized by you to refuse to
work under conditions that may be unsafe.
2.7 Estimates of our fees or other project costs
will be based on information available to us and
on our experience and knowledge. Such
estimates are an exercise of our professional
judgment and are not guaranteed or warranted.
Actual costs may vary. You should allow a
contingency in addition to estimated costs.
Section 3: Your Responsibilities
3.1 You will provide us with prior
geotechnical and other reports, specifications,
plans, and information to which you have
access about the site. You agree to provide us
with all plans, changes in plans, and new
information as to site conditions until we have
completed our work.
3.2 You will provide access to the site. In the
course of our work some site damage is normal
even when due care is exercised. We will use
reasonable care to minimize damage to the
site. We have not included the cost of
restoration of normal damage in the estimated

3.3 If we notify you that radiographic or
gamma ray equipment or other nuclear testing
or measuring device will be used, you will be
responsible for the cooperation of your
employees and your contractors in observing all
radiation safety standards.
3.4 You will notify us of any knowledge or
suspicion of the presence of hazardous or
dangerous materials at the work site. If we
observe or suspect the presence of
contaminants not anticipated in our
Agreement, we may terminate our work
without liability to you or to others, and we will
be paid for the services we have provided.
3.5 The time our field personnel spend on the
job site depends upon the scheduling of the
work we are observing or testing. You agree
that any changes in scheduling may result in
additional costs and agree to pay for those
services at the rates listed in our cost estimate.
3.6 You agree to include us as an indemnified
party in your contracts, if any, for work by
others on the project, protecting us to the
same degree as you are protected. You agree to
list us as an Additional Insured under your
liability insurance policies and to require
subrogation be waived against us and that we
will be added as an Additional Insured on all
policies of insurance, including any policies
required of your contractors or subcontractors,
covering any construction or development
activities to be performed on the project site.
Section 4: Reports and Records
4.1 Unless you request otherwise, we will
provide our report(s) in an electronic format.
4.2 Our reports, notes, calculations, and other
documents and our computer software and
data are instruments of our service to you, and
they remain our property but are subject to a
license to you for your use in the related
project for the purposes disclosed to us. You
may not transfer our reports to others or use
them for a purpose for which they were not
prepared without our written approval. You
agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from
claims, damages, losses, and expenses,
including attorney fees, arising out of such a
transfer or use. At your request, we will provide
endorsements of our reports or letters of
reliance, but only if the recipients agree to be
bound by the terms of our Agreement with you
and only if we are paid the administrative fee
stated in our then current Schedule of Charges.
4.3 Because electronic documents may be
modified intentionally or inadvertently, you
agree that we will not be liable for damages
resulting from change in an electronic
document occurring after we transmit it to you.
4.4 If you do not pay for our services in full as
agreed, we may retain work not yet delivered
to you and you agree to return to us all of our
work that is in your possession or under your
control.
4.5 Electronic data, reports, photographs,
samples and other materials provided by you or
others may be discarded or returned to you, at
our discretion, unless within 15 days of the

GC -CMT Revised 9/1/2013 Page 1 of 2
Section 5: Compensation
5.1 You will pay for services as agreed upon
or according to our then current Schedule of
Charges if there is no other written agreement
as to price. An estimated cost is not a firm
figure. You agree to pay all sales taxes and
other taxes based on your payment of our
compensation. Our performance is subject to
credit approval and payment of any specified
retainer.
5.2 You will notify us of billing disputes within
15 days. You will pay undisputed portions of
invoices on receipt. You agree to pay interest
on unpaid balances beginning 30 days after
invoice dates at the rate of 1.5% per month, or
at the maximum rate allowed by law.
5.3 If you direct us to invoice another, we will
do so, but you agree to be responsible for our
compensation unless you provide us with that
person's written acceptance of all terms of our
Agreement and we agree to extend credit to
that person and to release you.
5.4 Your obligation to pay for our services
under this Agreement is not contingent on your
ability to obtain financing, governmental or
regulatory agency approval, permits, final
adjudication of lawsuit in which we are not
involved, your successful completion of a
project, receipt of payment from another, or any
other event. No retainage will be withheld.
5.5 If you do not pay us within 60 days of
invoice date, you agree to reimburse our
expenses, including but not limited to attorney
fees, staff time, and other costs of collection.
5.6 You agree to compensate us in accordance
with our fee schedule if we are asked or
required to respond to legal process arising out
of a proceeding related to the project and as to
which we are not a party.
5.7 If we are delayed by factors beyond our
control, or if project conditions or the scope or
amount of work change, or if changed labor
union conditions result in increased costs,
decreased efficiency, or delays, or if the
standards or methods change, we will give you
timely notice and we will receive an equitable
adjustment of our compensation. If you and we
do not reach agreement on such compensation
within 30 days of our written application, we
may terminate without liability to you or
others.
5.8 If you fail to pay us within 60 days
following invoice date, we may consider the
default a total breach of our Agreement and, at
our option, terminate our duties without
liability to you or to others.
5.9 In consideration of our providing
insurance to cover claims made by you, you
hereby waive any right of offset as to fees
otherwise due us.
Section 6: Disputes, Damage, and Risk
Allocation
6.1 Each of us will exercise good faith efforts
to resolve disputes without litigation. Such
efforts will include, but not be limited to, a
meeting(s) attended by each party's
representative(s) empowered to resolve the
dispute. Before either of us commences an
action against the other, disputes (except
collections) will be submitted to mediation.
6.2 Neither of us will be liable for special,
incidental, consequential, or punitive damages,
including but not limited to those arising from
delay, loss of use, loss of profits or revenue,
loss of financing commitments or fees, or the
cost of capital.
6.3 We will not be liable for damages unless
suit is commenced within two years of the date
of injury or loss or within two years of the date
of substantial completion of our services,
whichever is earlier. We will not be liable unless
you have notified us of the discovery of the
claimed breach of contract, negligent act, or
omission within 30 days of the date of
discovery and unless you have given us an
opportunity to investigate and to recommend
ways of mitigating damages. You agree not to
make a claim against us unless you have
provided us at least 30 days prior to the
institution of any legal proceeding against us
with a written certificate executed by an
appropriately licensed professional specifying
and certifying each and every act or omission
that you contend constitutes a violation of the
standard of care governing our professional
services.
6.4 For you to obtain the benefit of a fee
which includes a reasonable allowance for risks,
you agree that our aggregate liability for all
claims will not exceed the fee paid for our
services or $50,000, whichever is greater. If you
are unwilling to accept this allocation of risk,
we will increase our aggregate liability to
$100,000 provided that, within 10 days of the
date of our Agreement, you provide payment in
an amount that will increase our fees by 10 %,
but not less than $500, to compensate us for
the greater risk undertaken. This increased fee
is not the purchase of insurance.
6.5 You agree to indemnify us from all liability
to others in excess of the risk allocation stated
above and to insure this obligation.
6.6 The prevailing party in any action relating
to this Agreement shall be entitled to recover
its costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorney fees, staff time, and expert witness
fees.
6.7 The law of the state in which our servicing
office is located will govern all disputes. Each of
us waives trial byjury. No officer or employee
acting within the scope of employment shall
have individual liability for his or her acts or
omissions, and you agree not to make a claim
against individual employees.
Section 7: General Indemnification
7.1 We will indemnify and hold you harmless
from and against demands, damages, and
expenses of others to the comparative extent
they are caused by our negligent acts or
omissions or those negligent acts or omissions
of persons for whom we are legally responsible.
You will indemnify and hold us harmless from
and against demands, damages, and expenses
of others to the comparative extent they are
caused by your negligent acts or omissions or
those negligent acts or omissions of persons for
