Subject: Proposal for Geotechnical Study
NC-PEM-4005 — Robeson County NC Southern Advantage
Robeson County, North Carolina
F&R PROPOSAL NO. 1364-01OG
Mr. Wortham,
Pursuant to your email dated April 4, 2012, Froehling and Robertson, Inc. (F&R) is pleased to
submit this proposal to perform a geotechnical study for the subject project in Robeson County,
North Carolina. This proposal presents our understanding of the project, our proposed scope of
services and costs to perform these services.
1.0 PROJECT INFORMATION
Our understanding of this project is based on information provided by Mr. Tom Wortham of The
Hollingsworth Companies and our experiences with similar projects. Included in the provided
information were drawings that portrayed the site and location of the building. The project site is
located approximately 3 miles southeast of Pembroke, NC on the east side of Deep Branch Road
and south of Comtech Drive. The site is 17.69 acres in area. According to Google Earth image
taken in December 2011, the site at that time was cleared of heavy vegetation and was used as
farmland.
The provided drawing indicates that the proposed project will consist of an approximate 360 feet
by 300 feet building with parking and driveways to the west and north of the planned building. No
structural information has been provided at this time; however, we have assumed that the
building will be a single -story warehouse type building with maximum column loads and
continuous wall loadings on the order of 100 kips and 4 kips per linear foot, respectively.
Based on elevation data obtained from Google Earth, existing site grades appear to be relatively
level; thus we have assumed that mass grading will be minor cuts and fills to develop the site
grades.

Should any of this information be incorrect or if additional information becomes available,
please contact us so we may review the proposed scope of services and make any appropriate
changes.
2.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES
The purposes of our involvement on the project would be as follows: 1) provide general
descriptions of the subsurface soil conditions encountered at the locations explored, 2) provide
foundation design recommendations, and 3) comment on other geotechnical aspects of the
proposed development. In order to accomplish the above objectives, we propose to undertake
the following scope of services.
2.1 Field Exploration
F&R proposes to evaluate foundation support conditions with a total of 6 sail test borings.
Four of the borings will be drilled within the footprint of the building to depths of 25 feet each
and the remaining borings will be drilled to depths of 10 feet below the exiting ground surface.
Should it be necessary to extend the borings to a greater depth to (1) further evaluate possible
deep foundation support, we will notify you of this need at the time of the exploration or (2)
should you need the site's seismic classification, we can extend one of the borings in
accordance with 2010 NC Building Code.
For the purpose of this proposal, 120 linear feet of drilling are considered for our exploration
unless it is necessary to extend the borings deeper as stated above. If the prescribed
termination depth does not encounter suitable soils, we propose to extend the borings deeper
until suitable soils are encountered. Groundwater levels will be taken shortly after drilling is
completed and a temporary piezometer may be installed in one of the borings to obtain
stabilized groundwater readings, if shallow water table is encountered.
At this time, we would not propose to obtain undisturbed samples for consolidation testing or
the use of specialized equipment such as dilatometer testing that would be required to perform
detailed evaluations of shallow foundation support. Should such testing and analyses be
warranted by encountering softer or loose subsurface soils than anticipated, we would notify
you of such conditions during the progress of the exploration.
Standard Penetration Resistances and split -spoon soil samples will be obtained in the soil test
borings at designated intervals in general compliance with ASTM standards. The Standard
Penetration Resistances will be evaluated with regard to foundation capacity, soil strength and
density, and the split -spoon samples utilized for engineering classification and laboratory
testing.
Prior to beginning field operations, we will contact the local utility locators (North Carolina One
Call) to mark the existing public underground utility lines but private underground lines will not
be marked. Please note that NC One Call requires a minimum of 48 to 72 hours' notice to mark
The Hollingsworth Companies 2 Robeson County NC Southern Advantage
F&R Proposal No. 1364-OIOG April S, 2012
utilities prior to inception of drilling work. F&R cannot be responsible for damage to any
existing underground utility lines that are not marked or marked incorrectly during our drilling
operations.
We anticipate that the site will be readily accessible to our truck or ATV mounted drilling
equipment (including proper overhead clearance) and that no dozer clearing or site leveling will
be required. By the nature of the work to be performed, our drilling activities may result in
disturbances to the site. Reasonable efforts will be made to reduce disturbance; however,
remediation of the site to a pre -explored condition is not included. Completed boreholes will be
backfilled with auger cuttings (soil), but may open sometime following our work. Grouting or
otherwise sealing the upper portion of the boreholes can be performed if requested for a per -hole
fee.
2.2 Laboratory Examination and Testing
At the completion of the fieldwork, representative soil samples will be transported to our office for
visual examination and classified by a member of our professional staff, and samples will be
selected for laboratory testing to assist in the classification of the soils. Laboratory testing will
include percent fines, Atterberg limits, and water contents. Should additional testing such as
consolidation testing be needed to evaluate the compressibility of soft soils, we will obtain your
approval before any additional work is performed.
2.3 Engineering Analyses and Report
At the completion of the drilling operations, the findings of our field exploration and laboratory
testing will be analyzed by our engineering staff to determine the appropriate foundation type
to support the building. The results of our exploration and engineering evaluation will be
presented to you in our Geotechnical Report. This report will include, but will not be limited to,
the following:
• Site & Boring Location Plans;
• Boring Logs including a chart illustrating the soil classification criteria and
terminology and symbols used on the boring logs, profiles of the existing
soils;
• Laboratory test results;
• Discussion of subsurface soil and groundwater conditions encountered;
• A general description and evaluation of the site considering the proposed
project;
• Recommendations for the design and construction of a shallow foundation
system for the support of the structure;
The Hollingsworth Companies 3 Robeson County NCSouthern Advantage
F&R Proposal No. 1364-OIOG April 5, 2012
• Estimated post -construction settlements both total and differential for
shallow spread foundation types;
• Recommendations for site preparation, compacted fill placement and
subgrade preparation.
• Recommendations for difficult excavation, groundwater control and
dewatering, if required;
• Recommendations for the design of flexible and concrete pavement
structures based on an assumed California Bearing Ratio (CBR) data to
include thickness of asphalt and concrete, and base courses;
• Other design considerations we believe may impact the construction phase
of the project.
Optional Recommendations, if desired
Provide seismic site classification based on averaged N-values and/or recommended
spectral accelerations with evaluation of seismic hazards i.e. liquefaction potential and
mitigations
Our scope of services does not include survey services, quantity estimates, preparation of plans
or specifications, formal slope stability analyses, detention pond considerations, evaluations of
earthquake motions, or the identification and evaluation of wetland or other environmental
aspects of the project site. We note that F&R provides a full range of Construction Materials
Testing services and is available to discuss these as the project moves into its construction
phase.
3.0 FEES
We propose a Lump Sum Fee of $3,635.00 for the base scope of services outlined above. Our
services will be performed in accordance with the above provided scope and fee(s). Should
unforeseen conditions require additional services, these services would not be performed without
your authorization.
No site leveling or other services not discussed herein are included in the provided Lump Sum fee.
If needed, the fees for services beyond our proposed scope would be in accordance with our
prevailing unit fee schedule or as negotiated at that time. Requested geotechnical consultation
after issuance of the completed subsurface exploration and geotechnical evaluation report,
attendance to meetings, or other requested services not included in the provided base scope and
fee, will be charged in accordance with our prevailing unit fee schedule.
4.0 SCHEDULING
Based on our present workload, F&R should be able to initiate the field exploration within 7
working days after receiving written authorization to proceed and clearing of utilities by others.
It is anticipated that the drilling will take 1 to 2 days to complete. Provided that no laboratory
The Hollingsworth Companies 4 Robeson County NC Southern Advantage
F&R Proposal No. 1354-010G April S, 2012
testing is required beyond the typical classification tests, we should be able to issue a final
report within 1 to 2 weeks following completion of the laboratory testing. Additionally, we can
provide verbal recommendations for support of the building within 3 to 4 days of completion of
the exploration.
4.0 AUTHORIZATION
In order to perform the proposed services, we would ask that you please execute and return a
copy of the attached Agreement for Engineering Services; your signature of acceptance would
formally authorize F&R to perform the work. Any exceptions to our proposal or special
requirements not covered in said proposal should be listed on the Agreement.
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions regarding this proposal or if
you need additional information and/or assistance. We look forward to, once again, working
with you on this new project.

Geotechnical Engineering ProposaMl
Participate in Development of the Subsurface
Exploration Plan
Geotechnical engineering begins with the creation of an effective sub-
surface exploration plan. This proposal starts the process by presenting
an initial plan. While that plan may consider the unique physical attri-
butes of the site and the improvements you have in mind it probably
does not consider your unique goals, objectives, and risk management
preferences. Subsurface exploration plans that are finalized without con-
sidering such factors presuppose that clients' needs are unimportant, or
that all clients have the same needs. Avoid the problems that can stem
from such assumptions by finalizing the plan and other scope elements
directly with the geotechnical engineer you feel is best qualified for the
project, along with the other project professionals whose plans are
affected by the geotechnical engineer's findings and recommendations.
If you have been told that this step is unnecessary; that client prefer-
ences do not influence the scope of geotechnical engineering service or
that someone else can articulate your needs as well as you, you have
been told wrong. No one else can discuss your geotechnical options
better than an experienced geotechnical engineer, and no one else can
provide the input you can. Thus, while you certainly are at liberty to
accept a proposed scope "as is," recognize that it could be a unilateral
scope developed without direct clienVengineer discussion; that authoriz-
ing a unilateral scope will force the geotechnical engineer to accept all
assumptions it contains; that assumptions create risk. Manage yourrisk.
Get involved.
Expect the Unexpected
The nature of geolechnical engineering is such that planning needs to
anticipate the unexpected. During the design phase of a project, more or
deeper borings may be required, additional tests may become neces-
sary, or someone associated with your organization may request a ser-
vice that was not included in the final scope. During the construction
phase, additional services may be needed to respond quickly to unantic-
ipated conditions. In the past, geotechnical engineers commonly did
whatever was required to oblige their clients' representatives and safe-
guard their clients' interests, taking it on faith that their clients wanted
them to do so. But some, evidently, did not, and refused to pay for legiti-
mate extras on the ground that the engineer proceeded without proper
authorization, or failed to submit notice in a timely manner, or failed to
provide proper documentation. What are your preferences? Who is per-
mitted to authorize additional geotechnical services on your project?
What type of documentation do you require? To whom should it be
sent? When? How? By addressing these and similar issues sooner
rather than later, you and your geotechnical engineer will be prepared for
the unexpected, to help prevent molehills from growing into mountains.
Have Realistic Expectations; Apply Appropriate
Preventives
The recommendations included in a geotechnical engineering report are
not final, because they are based on opinions that can be verified only
during construction. For that reason, most geotechnical engineering
proposals offer the construction observation services that permit the
geotechnical engineer of record to confirm that subsurface conditions
are what they were expected to be, or to modify recommendations when
actual conditions were not anticipated. An offer to provide construction
observation is an offer to better manage your risk. Clients who do not
take advantage of such an offer; clients who retain a second firm to
observe construction, can create a high -risk "Catch-22" situation for
themselves. The geotechnical engineer of record cannot assume
responsibility or liability for a report's recommendations when another
firm performs the services needed to evaluate the recommendations'
adequacy, The second firm is also likely to disavow liability for the rec-
ommendations, because of the substantial and possibly uninsurable risk
of assuming responsibility for services it did not perform. Recognize,
too, that no firm other than the geotechnical engineer of record can pos-
sibly have as intimate an understanding of your project's geotechnical
issues. As such, reliance on a second firm to perform construction
observation can elevate risk still more, because its personnel may not
have the wherewithal to recognize subtle, but sometimes critically impor-
tant unanticipated conditions, or to respond to them in a manner consis-
tent with your goals, objectives, and risk management preferences.
Realize That Geoenvironmental Issues Have Not
Been Covered
The equipment, techniques, and personnel used to perform a geoenvi-
ronmental study differ significantly from those used to perform a geo-
technical study. Geoenvironmental services are not being offered in this
proposal. The report that results will not relate any geoenvironmental
findings, conclusions, or recommendations, Unanticipated environmen-
tal problems have led to numerous project failures, If you have not yet
obtained your own geoenvironmental information, ask your geotechnical
consultant for risk management guidance. Do not rely on an environ-
mental report prepared for someone else.
Obtain Professional Assistance To Deal
with Mold
Diverse strategies can be applied during building design, construction,
operation, and maintenance to prevent significant amounts of mold from
growing on indoor surfaces. To be effective, all such strategies should
be devised for the express purpose of mold prevention, integrated into a
comprehensive plan, and executed with diligent oversight by a profes-
sional mold prevention consultant, Becausejust a small amount of water
or moisture can lead to the development of severe mold infestations, a
number of mold prevention strategies focus on keeping building sur-
faces dry. While groundwater, water infiltration, and similar issues may
be addressed as part of the geotechnical engineering study described in
this proposal, the geotechnical engineer who would lead this project is
not a mold prevention consullanl; none of the services being
offered have been designed or proposed for the purpose of
mold prevention.
Have the Geotechnical Engineer Work with
Other Design Professionals and Constructors
Other design team members' misinterpretation of a geotechnical engi-
neering report has resulted in costly problems. Manage that risk by hav-
ing your geotechnical engineer confer with appropriate members of the
design team before finalizing the scope of geotechnical service (as sug-
gested above), and again, after submitting the report. Also retain your
geotechnical engineer to review pertinent elements of the design team
members' plans and specifications.
Reduce the risk of unanticipated conditions claims that can occur when
constructors misinterpret or misunderstand the purposes of a geotechni-
cal engineering report. Use appropriate language in your contract docu-
ments. Retain your geotechnical engineer to participate in prebid and
preconslruction conferences, and to perform construction observation.
Read Responsibility Provisions Closely
Clients, design professionals, and constructors who do not recognize
that geotechnical engineering is far less exact than other engineering
disciplines can develop unrealistic expectations. Unrealistic expectations
can lead to disappointments, claims, and disputes. To help reduce the
risk of such outcomes, geotechnical engineers commonly include a vari-
ety of explanatory provisions in their proposals. Sometimes labeled
"limitations." many of these provisions indicate where geotechnical
engineers' responsibilities begin and end to help others recognize their
own responsibilities and risks, thus to encourage more effective scopes
of service, Read this proposal's provisions closely. Ask questions. Your
geotechnical engineer should respond fully and frankly
Rely on Your ASFE-Member Geotechnical
Engineer for Additional Assistance

engineers to a wide array of risk management techniques that can be of
genuine benefit to everyone Involved with a construction project. Confer

are due upon receipt. All amounts unpaid 30 days after the
invoice date will include a late payment charge from the
date of the invoice, at the rate of 1-1/2% per month or the
highest rate permitted by law. Attorney's fees and other
costs incurred by Engineer in collecting past due amounts
shall be paid by Client.
4. STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE;
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
4.1. Level of Service. Engineer offers different levels
of engineering Services to suit the desires and needs of
different clients. Although the possibility of error can never
be eliminated, more detailed and extensive Services yield
more information and reduce the probability of error, but at
increased cost. Client must determine the level of Services
adequate for its purposes. Client has reviewed the SCOPE
OF SERVICES and has determined that it does not need or
want a greater level of Services than that being provided.
4.2. Standard of Care. In providing Services under
this Agreement, the Engineer will endeavor to perform in a
manner consistent with that degree of care and skill
ordinarily exercised by members of the same profession
currently practicing in the same locale as the Project and
under similar circumstances and at the same time the
Services were performed.
4.3. No Warranty. THERE ARE NO EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
NOT SPECIFIED HEREIN, RESPECTING THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE EQUIPMENT,
DOCUMENTATION, REPORTS, DESIGN PLANS,
DRAWINGS, SPECIFICATIONS, OTHER
DOCUMENTS AND SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED
HEREUNDER OR THE DELIVERY, USE OR
PERFORMANCE THEREOF.
5. ESTIMATE OF CONSTRUCTION COSTS
Client acknowledges that construction and Project
development are subject to many influences that are not
subject to precise forecasting and are outside of Engineer's
control. Client further acknowledges that actual costs
incurred may vary substantially from the estimates prepared
by Engineer and that Engineer does not warrant or guaranty
the accuracy of construction or development cost estimates.
6. CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES
When Engineer's SCOPE OF SERVICES includes
observation and/or testing during the course of construction
("Construction Phase Services"), the following clauses will
apply:
6.1. Construction Observation.
6.1.1. Site Meetings & Visits. Engineer will
participate in job site meetings as requested by Client, and,
unless otherwise requested by Client, visit the site at times
specified in the SCOPE OF SERVICES or, if not specified
in the SCOPE OF SERVICES, at intervals as Engineer
deems appropriate to the various stages of construction to
observe the geotechnical conditions encountered by
Contractor and the progress and quality of the geotechnical
and construction materials aspects of the Work. Based on
information obtained during such visits and on such
observations, Engineer may inform Client of the progress of
the geotechnical and construction materials aspects of the
Work. Client understands that Engineer may not be on site
continuously; and, unless expressly agreed otherwise,
Engineer will not observe all of the Work.
6.1.2. Contractor's Performance. Engineer does
not, and cannot, warrant or guarantee that all of the Work
performed by Contractor meets the requirements of
Engineer's geotechnical recommendations or the plans and
specifications for the Work; nor can Engineer be
responsible for Contractor's failure to perform the Work in
accordance with the plans, specifications or the
recommendations of Engineer.
6.1.3, Contractor's Responsibilities. Engineer
will not supervise, direct or have control over the Work nor
will Engineer have authority over the responsibility for the
means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of
construction selected by Contractor for the Project; for
safety precautions and programs incident to the Work; nor
for any failure of Contractor to comply with all applicable
laws and regulations applicable to Contractor furnishing
and performing its Work.
6.1.4. Final Report. At the conclusion of
Construction Phase Services, Engineer will provide Client
with a written report summarizing the tests and
observations, if any, made by Engineer.
6.2. Review of Contractor's Submittals. If included
in the SCOPE OF SERVICES, Engineer will review and
take appropriate action on the Contractor's submittals, such
as shop drawings, product data, samples, and other required
submittals. Engineer will review such submittals solely for
general conformance with Engineer's design, and will not
include review for the following, all of which will remain
the responsibility of the Contractor: accuracy or
completeness of details, quantities or dimensions;
construction means, methods, sequences or procedures;
coordination among trades; or construction safety.
6.3. Tests. Tests performed by Engineer on finished
Work or Work in progress are taken intermittently and
indicate the general acceptability of the Work on a
statistical basis. Engineer's tests and observations of the
Work are not a guarantee of the quality of Work and do not
relieve other parties from their responsibility to perform
their Work in accordance with applicable plans,
specifications and requirements.

Robeson County, NC-PEM-4005
November 2012
Introduction
The NC-PEM-4005 project consists of construction of a 130,000+/- sf building and a 35
car parking lot along with related access drives. The entire site drains through various
storm water ditches surrounding the site and eventually into the Lumber River. The total
site acreage is approximately 17.7 acres. The total area disturbed for this project is
8.1+/- acres. The site is located on the northeast quadrant of the intersection of
Comtech Drive and Deep Branch Road in the Comtech Industrial Park. The site is made
up of Lynchburg, Rains and Goldsboro soil types. The soils information is included in
Appendix I.
The following procedure was used to design the basins:
1. Define the existing drainage areas and patterns and calculate the pre -
development runoff for the site.
2. Define the post -developed drainage areas and patterns based on the site plan
and calculate the post -developed runoff for the site. Determine the areas that will
drain directly off -site.
3. Determine a suitable method of treatment and design the drainage facilities
accordingly.
4. Compare the post -development peak discharge with the pre -developed
(allowable) peak discharge and determine detention basins locations.
5. Provide enough storage volume in each basin and design outlet structures that
provide adequate draw down time.
6. Design the emergency spillway to safely discharge the 100 year design storm
peak runoff (in case of outlet structure failure).
Methodology
The Simple Method (taken from the NCDENR Stormwater BMP Manual, Runoff Volume
Section 3.3) was used to calculate the pre -developed and post -developed runoff
volumes. The first volume calculation shown is using the runoff from the first 1.5" of
rainfall. The second volume calculation compares the volume difference between the
pre- and post -developed runoff from the 1-year, 24 hour rainfall event. The greater of
the two is what the BMPs are designed to accommodate.
Basin 1 located in Area 1 (See Drainage Area map in Appendix) will be over detaining to
accommodate a small portion of the driveway and front yard that will drain directly off
site and for Area 3 where no detention basin has been designed.

V = 4,620 ft3
Robeson County, NC-PEM-4005
November 2012
Conclusion
The volume for both areas is greater when using the pre- vs. post -development
comparison. Therefore the BMP in Areal will be designed to accommodate a volume of
30,480 ft3 and Area 2 will accommodate a volume of 4,620 U. See Appendix for
support data and Site Plans for BMP Designs.
