professional organization with a substantial investment in its business and that it
maintains its own offices and staff which it will use in performing under this Agreement.

Subject: Cost Estimate and Fee Schedule for Materials Testing and Special
Inspection Services during Completion of the City of Ukiah
Wastewater Treatment Plant, 300 Plant Road, Ukiah, California
Dear Jason Benson:
SHN is pleased to provide the following fee schedule and cost estimate for materials testing and special
inspection services during the thickening and dewatering improvements at the City of Ukiah Wastewater
Treatment Plan located at 300 Plant Road in Ukiah, California. This estimate was based on the plan set
provided by West Yost(dated July 2023 with job number 592-50-22-14)and project specifications.
We have reviewed the construction plan set and specifications provided by West Yost,and our
understanding is that the anticipated scope of work necessary to complete this project includes
installation of new concrete slabs(subgrade, rebar, and concrete included), anchor bolts, and minor
sidewalk work. Costs for sampling and testing structural concrete, in-place density testing of aggregate
base for new walkways and sitework improvements, and material thickness testing of the currently
installed structural steel members is included. During the installation of these new construction
materials,we have anticipated the following items that will require special inspection,testing,and
documentation: structural concrete for new slabs, and equipment pads,welding and post-installed
anchors for equipment and pipe support fastening.
Because the nature of construction scheduling is subject to change based on field conditions,we
propose that SHN provides these services on an on-call basis, under the direction of your project
manager.This means that, if we provided an estimated number of hours for an inspection task, and that
task is completed in fewer hours than what was estimated,we will only charge for the time associated
with the work you have requested. We have based the following cost and schedule on our
understanding that the materials testing work will be subject to California Department of Industrial
Relations Prevailing Wage Rates.
The following rates will be associated with this project.
• Project Manager: $165/hour
• Laboratory Engineering Manager: $125/hour
• Prevailing Wage Field Technician: $195/hour-$205/hour
• Non-Prevailing Wage Technician: $105-$135/hour

Concrete for sitework improvements, and mechanical equipment pads will require sampling and testing.
Samples will be collected during placement for structural features. Concrete samples will be stored
onsite for the initial curing time,then delivered to the laboratory the following day for final curing and
testing. If requested, SHN can also review and provide comments for concrete mix design submittals.
We have estimated up to 10 concrete sampling events for the project. Each sampling event will take up
to 4 hours onsite and require one set of samples for compression testing.
