Dear Mr. Hayes:
As requested, ECS Southwest, LLP (ECS), is pleased to be selected for this project and providing the
following lump sum scope and fee for subsurface exploration and geotechnical engineering services for
the above-mentioned project. Our understanding of the project is based on our review of the available
geological and geotechnical information in our files in vicinity of the site and Request for Geotechnical
Proposal (prepared by Garver, LLC., dated March 2, 2026) and geotechnical exhibit – Taxiway A (prepared
by Garver, LLC., dated September 2025) in the email dated March 16, 2026. This scope and fee outlines
our understanding of the project, the proposed scope of services, activity schedule, fees, and
authorization requirements.
PROJECT BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Existing Site Conditions
The project site is located at 5000 Airport Road in Denton, Denton County, Texas (GPS: 33.1986 N, 97.1967
W). ECS did not visit the site prior to preparing this scope and fee. Based on Google Earth aerial maps, the
site is developed with structures and pavements. The existing Taxiway A pavement are constructed from
asphalt. Based on the information provided by the client, distresses including fatigue cracking, longitudinal
and transverse cracks and block cracking were observed on the site.
Project Description
Based on the information and plan provided, we understand the proposed project will include the
reconstruction of Taxiway A. The taxiway and apron will be used by aircraft having gross weights of 60,000
lbs or more. Based on the information provided in Request for Geotechnical Proposal, final grade of new
pavement will roughly match existing pavement grades to promote surface drainage from the taxiways to
the turfed areas adjacent to the taxiways.

Please note that a topographic drawing and grading plan were not available at the time of this scope and
fee. ECS should be provided with topographic drawings and a grading plan prior to initiating our services
to review our proposed depth of borings regarding actual cut/fill depths and make changes to our
proposed scope and fee as necessary.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our integrated services will include drilling borings by drilling crews based on instructions provided by
ECS. Our services will also include laboratory testing of representative soil samples, and engineering
analyses presented in a site-specific engineering report.
Utility Clearance
Per state law, we will contact Texas 811 the public utility to locate underground utilities at the site.
Typically, Texas 811 will not locate utilities beyond the point of distribution (meters or gauge points) on
private property. The risk of hitting utilities that Texas 811 did not mark can be reduced by engaging a
private utility locating service. The risks include hitting gas lines, electrical lines, fiber optic lines, and many
other utility service lines. This can result in electrocution, gas leaks or explosions, loss of services to
businesses as well as tremendous costs for lost business, interruption of service, and repair along with
potential legal liability.
We have included the cost of a private utility line locator in our “Base Services”. Private utility locator
services can aid in identifying utilities that incorporate significant iron content in the conduit materials.
However, utilities without significant ferrous (iron) content are more difficult to detect. These include
most sanitary sewer alignments, copper or PVC water lines, fiber optic lines without tracer ribbons, copper
electric lines with no surface exposure, drainage tiles/pipes, irrigation lines, etc.
Using a private utility locator does not guarantee that all utilities will be identified. However, this service
lowers the risk and potential liability of the client while also protecting the safety of our field exploration
crews.
We will coordinate our exploration locations around marked utilities and utilities pointed out to us by the
owner/client. However, we will not be responsible for any utilities not marked or not pointed out to us by
the landowner or client.
Site Access
Based on our review of available aerial photographs, the site appears to be accessible to a truck-mounted
drilling rig.
Regarding site access, we have made the following assumptions:
• This scope and fee assume that no special permits will be required. The pavement coring and
drilling will take place during nighttime (10 pm to 6 am).
• Landowner notification will be provided by the client. ECS will work with the project team in
providing site access diagrams for the drill rig as needed, but actual coordination with
landowners to obtain access permission will be provided by the client.
• Taxing within the work areas will be blocked off prior to our arrival. ECS cannot be held
responsible for damage to, nor the cleanliness of, vehicles not moved from the work area.

Field Exploration
ECS proposes to perform the following in general accordance with the local standards and practices listed:
a. Field locate the test locations by handheld GPS unit / taping and pacing from existing site features /
available plans. Elevations will be interpolated from the plans provided/or referenced from published
topographical maps.
b. Obtain a public utility locate ticket for location of underground lines. See further information in the
Utility Clearance section above.
c. Private utility locate service to clear the boring locations.
d. Mobilize a pavement coring crew and core the pavement in twenty-nine (29) locations as requested.
e. Mobilize a truck mounted drilling rig to the site.
f. As requested, twenty-nine (29) borings will be drilled on the project site. These boring locations will
be cored and drilled within the taxiway areas to a depth of 10 feet below the existing grades. The
approximate locations are shown in the figure below.
g. Perform testing and sampling in general accordance with ASTM standards and local practices.
h. Measure the depth of groundwater within each exploration location at the time of drilling and prior
to backfilling.
i. Obtain bulk samples of auger cuttings from select borings for laboratory testing.
The explorations will be extended to the depths listed above or to mechanical refusal (shallow rock or
other impenetrable obstructions), whichever occurs first.
Site Departure Conditions
Upon completion of subsurface exploration, we will backfill each of the locations with the soil removed
and mound the excess spoils back up over the test location. In pavement areas, we will patch the asphalt
or concrete surface with cold mix asphalt patch or quick setting concrete of an equivalent or greater

thickness. Some post drilling settlement of the boreholes should be expected and may require future
maintenance to repair any settlement and prevent a tripping hazard. This maintenance is not included in
our scope of services or fees. No other restoration will be provided. ECS will not be responsible for
restoration of, but not limited to the following: grass, shrubs, trees, flower beds, or ruts caused by drilling
operations. The client must communicate areas that must not be disturbed in advance of field operations.
Typically, we will not provide site repairs beyond what is outlined above unless specifically contracted.
Alternatively, we will remove excess spoils from job sites and dispose of them in an approved manner for
a negotiated fee.
Please note that some disturbance to off-pavement, gravel-covered, grass-covered areas, including the
possible cutting of trees, or running over of brush and understory in wooded areas might occur. We will
attempt to limit such disturbance; however, we have not budgeted for site repairs including filling of tire
ruts, seeding of lawn areas, replacement of bushes or the planting of trees, etc. If necessary, additional
site repairs can be provided at an additional cost.
Laboratory Testing
Upon completion of field exploration operations, the samples will be returned to our laboratory for
further identification, visual classification, and testing. Laboratory testing may include the following:
LABORATORY TEST
Natural Moisture Content
Gradation Analysis
Atterberg Limits
Standard/Modified Proctor
California Bearing Ration (CBR)
Swell Test
Unconfined Compressive Strength of Soil
Sulfate Content, pH, Organic content
Lime pH Series
Engineering Report
Upon completion of the field exploration, laboratory testing, and engineering analyses, we will prepare a
written engineering report that will include:
a. A review of published soils mapping and/or geologic information.
b. Observations from our site reconnaissance and personnel on the drill rig, including current site
conditions, surface drainage features, and surface topographic conditions, and/or available satellite
imagery.
c. A description of the field exploration and laboratory tests performed.
d. A site location diagram and a field exploration diagram.
e. Final logs of the soil borings in accordance with industry standard practices for geotechnical
engineering. Elevations will be interpolated from civil drawings or referenced from topographic
information that you supply.
f. Photographs with a visual scale indicating pavement thickness for all pavement cores.
g. The results of the laboratory tests will be plotted on the final exploration logs and/or included on
separate test report pages.
h. Discussion of the subsurface materials encountered along with groundwater conditions observed.

FEE
ECS will provide the services outlined in this scope and fee for a lump sum fee of $75,800.00.
Our fee assumes that the site is accessible based upon our assumptions detailed in this document. If
additional services are requested or required based on differing site conditions, we will contact you for
verbal and written authorization to proceed with the additional services.
SCHEDULE
Our ability to access the site and perform the field exploration may be impacted by precipitation, excessive
temperatures, or other atmospheric conditions. Field exploration will be performed during nighttime (10
pm to 6 am) Monday through Friday.
We have assumed that the client will assist in accessing the site (with the current site owners/occupants).
We anticipate being able to mobilize to the site within approximately 2 to 3 weeks after receiving
authorization to proceed, notification that on-site personnel if any has been made, and upon clearing
utilities.
We anticipate that the drilling operations will require about 3 to 4 nights, and that the laboratory testing,
will require about 7 to 14 days, followed by our engineering analyses. For time budget purposes, the entire
scope should take about 6 to 8 weeks from initial authorization through final report submission. If there
is a specific due date for the report, please let us know. Verbal comments on findings can be provided
within 7 days of completion of the borings, if requested.
CLOSING
If other services are required because of unexpected field conditions, or because of a request for
additional services, they will be invoiced in accordance with a negotiated fee. Before modifying or
expanding the extent of our exploration program, we will contact you for your review and authorization.
Our insurance carrier requires that we receive written authorization prior to initiation of work, and a
signed contract prior to the release of any work product. This letter is the agreement for our services.

Denton, Denton County, Texas
Dear Mr. Hayes:
As requested, ECS Southwest, LLP (ECS), is pleased to be selected for this project and providing the
following lump sum scope and fee for subsurface exploration and geotechnical engineering services for
the above-mentioned project. Our understanding of the project is based on our review of the available
geological and geotechnical information in our files in vicinity of the site and Request for Geotechnical
Proposal (prepared by Garver, LLC., dated March 2, 2026) and geotechnical exhibit – Taxiways H, J and M
(prepared by Garver, LLC., dated September 2025) in the email dated March 2, 2026. This scope and fee
outlines our understanding of the project, the proposed scope of services, activity schedule, fees, and
authorization requirements.
PROJECT BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Existing Site Conditions
The project site is located at 5000 Airport Road in Denton, Denton County, Texas (GPS: 33.2000 N, 97.1938
W). ECS did not visit the site prior to preparing this scope and fee. Based on Google Earth aerial maps, the
site is developed with structures and pavements. The existing Taxiways H, J, and M pavement are
constructed from asphalt. Based on the information provided by the client, distresses including fatigue
cracking, longitudinal and transverse cracks, and PCC shoving down the entire length of the taxiway were
observed on the site.
Project Description
Based on the information and plan provided, we understand the proposed project will include the
reconstruction of Taxiways H, J and M. The taxiway and apron will be used by aircraft having gross weights
of 60,000 lbs or more. Based on the information provided in Request for Geotechnical Proposal, final

grade of new pavement will roughly match existing pavement grades to promote surface drainage from
the taxiways to the turfed areas adjacent to the taxiways.
Please note that a topographic drawing and grading plan were not available at the time of this scope and
fee. ECS should be provided with topographic drawings and a grading plan prior to initiating our services
to review our proposed depth of borings regarding actual cut/fill depths and make changes to our
proposed scope and fee as necessary.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our integrated services will include drilling borings by drilling crews based on instructions provided by
ECS. Our services will also include laboratory testing of representative soil samples, and engineering
analyses presented in a site-specific engineering report.
Utility Clearance
Per state law, we will contact Texas 811 the public utility to locate underground utilities at the site.
Typically, Texas 811 will not locate utilities beyond the point of distribution (meters or gauge points) on
private property. The risk of hitting utilities that Texas 811 did not mark can be reduced by engaging a
private utility locating service. The risks include hitting gas lines, electrical lines, fiber optic lines, and many
other utility service lines. This can result in electrocution, gas leaks or explosions, loss of services to
businesses as well as tremendous costs for lost business, interruption of service, and repair along with
potential legal liability.
We have included the cost of a private utility line locator in our “Base Services”. Private utility locator
services can aid in identifying utilities that incorporate significant iron content in the conduit materials.
However, utilities without significant ferrous (iron) content are more difficult to detect. These include
most sanitary sewer alignments, copper or PVC water lines, fiber optic lines without tracer ribbons, copper
electric lines with no surface exposure, drainage tiles/pipes, irrigation lines, etc.
Using a private utility locator does not guarantee that all utilities will be identified. However, this service
lowers the risk and potential liability of the client while also protecting the safety of our field exploration
crews.
We will coordinate our exploration locations around marked utilities and utilities pointed out to us by the
owner/client. However, we will not be responsible for any utilities not marked or not pointed out to us by
the landowner or client.
Site Access
Based on our review of available aerial photographs, the site appears to be accessible to a truck-mounted
drilling rig.
Regarding site access, we have made the following assumptions:
• This scope and fee assume that no special permits will be required. The pavement coring and
drilling will take place during nighttime (10 pm to 6 am).
• Landowner notification will be provided by the client. ECS will work with the project team in
providing site access diagrams for the drill rig as needed, but actual coordination with
landowners to obtain access permission will be provided by the client.

• Taxing within the work areas will be blocked off prior to our arrival. ECS cannot be held
responsible for damage to, nor the cleanliness of, vehicles not moved from the work area.
Field Exploration
ECS proposes to perform the following in general accordance with the local standards and practices listed:
a. Field locate the test locations by handheld GPS unit / taping and pacing from existing site features /
available plans. Elevations will be interpolated from the plans provided/or referenced from published
topographical maps.
b. Obtain a public utility locate ticket for location of underground lines. See further information in the
Utility Clearance section above.
c. Private utility locate service to clear the boring locations.
d. Mobilize a pavement coring crew and core the pavement in ten (10) locations as requested.
e. Mobilize a truck mounted drilling rig to the site.
f. As requested, ten (10) borings will be drilled on the project site. These boring locations will be cored
and drilled within the taxiway areas to a depth of 10 feet below the existing grades. The approximate
locations are shown in the figure below.
g. Perform testing and sampling in general accordance with ASTM standards and local practices.
h. Measure the depth of groundwater within each exploration location at the time of drilling and prior
to backfilling.
i. Obtain bulk samples of auger cuttings from select borings for laboratory testing.
The explorations will be extended to the depths listed above or to mechanical refusal (shallow rock or
other impenetrable obstructions), whichever occurs first.
Site Departure Conditions
Upon completion of subsurface exploration, we will backfill each of the locations with the soil removed
and mound the excess spoils back up over the test location. In pavement areas, we will patch the asphalt

or concrete surface with cold mix asphalt patch or quick setting concrete of an equivalent or greater
thickness. Some post drilling settlement of the boreholes should be expected and may require future
maintenance to repair any settlement and prevent a tripping hazard. This maintenance is not included in
our scope of services or fees. No other restoration will be provided. ECS will not be responsible for
restoration of, but not limited to the following: grass, shrubs, trees, flower beds, or ruts caused by drilling
operations. The client must communicate areas that must not be disturbed in advance of field operations.
Typically, we will not provide site repairs beyond what is outlined above unless specifically contracted.
Alternatively, we will remove excess spoils from job sites and dispose of them in an approved manner for
a negotiated fee.
Please note that some disturbance to off-pavement, gravel-covered, grass-covered areas, including the
possible cutting of trees, or running over of brush and understory in wooded areas might occur. We will
attempt to limit such disturbance; however, we have not budgeted for site repairs including filling of tire
ruts, seeding of lawn areas, replacement of bushes or the planting of trees, etc. If necessary, additional
site repairs can be provided at an additional cost.
Laboratory Testing
Upon completion of field exploration operations, the samples will be returned to our laboratory for
further identification, visual classification, and testing. Laboratory testing may include the following:
LABORATORY TEST
Natural Moisture Content
Gradation Analysis
Atterberg Limits
Standard/Modified Proctor
California Bearing Ration (CBR)
Swell Test
Unconfined Compressive Strength of Soil
Sulfate Content, pH, Organic content
Lime pH Series
Engineering Report
Upon completion of the field exploration, laboratory testing, and engineering analyses, we will prepare a
written engineering report that will include:
a. A review of published soils mapping and/or geologic information.
b. Observations from our site reconnaissance and personnel on the drill rig, including current site
conditions, surface drainage features, and surface topographic conditions, and/or available satellite
imagery.
c. A description of the field exploration and laboratory tests performed.
d. A site location diagram and a field exploration diagram.
e. Final logs of the soil borings in accordance with industry standard practices for geotechnical
engineering. Elevations will be interpolated from civil drawings or referenced from topographic
information that you supply.
f. Photographs with a visual scale indicating pavement thickness for all pavement cores.
g. The results of the laboratory tests will be plotted on the final exploration logs and/or included on
separate test report pages.

h. Discussion of the subsurface materials encountered along with groundwater conditions observed.
i. Subsurface cross sections/profiles may be included that graphically represent the subsurface
conditions.
j. Recommendations for preparation of subgrade for the reconstructed taxiway pavement (lime treated
subgrade, cement treated subgrade, cement treated base, etc.).
k. Recommendations regarding preparation of existing soils (native or otherwise) including
recommendations regarding undercut and backfill.
l. Pavement design value recommendations – ECS to provide k-value, CBR, resilient modulus, etc
recommended for pavement design. Garver will perform the pavement design based on the subgrade
recommendations. All paving materials will follow the FAA specification requirements for
construction.
m. Testing and recommendations for pavement design related to sulfates.
n. Recommendations regarding surface and subsurface drainage, during and after construction.
o. Recommendations for embankment design and construction, if required.
p. Recommendations for suitable configuration(s) of cut slopes, fill slopes, temporary excavations, if
required.
FEE
ECS will provide the services outlined in this scope and fee for a lump sum fee of $33,400.00.
Our fee assumes that the site is accessible based upon our assumptions detailed in this document. If
additional services are requested or required based on differing site conditions, we will contact you for
verbal and written authorization to proceed with the additional services.
SCHEDULE
Our ability to access the site and perform the field exploration may be impacted by precipitation, excessive
temperatures, or other atmospheric conditions. Field exploration will be performed during nighttime (10
pm to 6 am) Monday through Friday.
We have assumed that the client will assist in accessing the site (with the current site owners/occupants).
We anticipate being able to mobilize to the site within approximately 2 to 3 weeks after receiving
authorization to proceed, notification that on-site personnel if any has been made, and upon clearing
utilities.
We anticipate that the drilling operations will require about 1 to 2 nights, and that the laboratory testing,
will require about 7 to 14 days, followed by our engineering analyses. For time budget purposes, the entire
scope should take about 5 to 7 weeks from initial authorization through final report submission. If there
is a specific due date for the report, please let us know. Verbal comments on findings can be provided
within 7 days of completion of the borings, if requested.
CLOSING
If other services are required because of unexpected field conditions, or because of a request for
additional services, they will be invoiced in accordance with a negotiated fee. Before modifying or expanding the extent of our exploration program, we will contact you for your review and authorization.
Our insurance carrier requires that we receive written authorization prior to initiation of work, and a
signed contract prior to the release of any work product. This letter is the agreement for our services.

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Denton (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to
you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your DocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly,
and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of
this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
