PROJECT INFORMATION <br /> The west bank of the Red River of the North is experiencing slide activity in the subject area. The <br /> slide is occurring on the outside bend of the river and is threatening to encroach upon the nearby <br /> County Road. From photos sent us by Mr. Tom Soucy and a subsequent personal visit to the site, <br /> it is apparent that significant slide activity has occurred in the past and this is on-going. The county <br /> road past this area runs in the north-south direction, and the area west of the road, opposite the <br /> slide, is an open field. <br /> B. SCOPE OF SERVICES <br /> Due to the complexity of riverbank slides, you, Tom Soucy and I met on May 20th to discuss how <br /> to approach the geotechnical evaluation of the slide and subsequent solution options. It was <br /> agreed that the first step should be to characterize the soils by cone penetration test (CPT) <br /> soundings, combined with an initial survey of the area. This information would be evaluated, <br /> from which a scope of work would be developed to perform standard soil borings and obtain <br /> samples for laboratory testing. This second phase would be tailored from information obtained <br /> from the CPT phase, and would be brought to you for discussion and approval, prior to <br /> proceeding. The balance of this proposal will strictly deal with the CPT phase of our services for <br /> this project. <br /> MTL—A Terracon Company 4102 7th Avenue North Fargo, North Dakota 58102-2923 <br /> P [701]282 9633 F [701]282 9635 terracon.com <br /> Geotechnical • Environmental • Construction Materials • Facilities <br />
