All reports, drawings, specifications, computer files, field data, notes, and other
documents and instruments prepared by the CONSULTANT as instruments of service shall
become property of the CITY upon payment for those documents by the CITY to the
CONSULTANT, and shall remain the property of the CITY.
ARTICLE IV. STANDARD OF CARE
The standard of care applicable to CONSULTANT's services will be the degree of skill
and diligence normally employed by professional consultants or consultants performing the
same or similar services at the time said services are performed. CONSULTANT will re-perform
any services not meeting this standard without additional compensation.
ARTICLE V. OPINIONS OF COST, FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS, AND
SCHEDULES
In providing opinions of cost, financial analyses, economic feasibility projections, and
schedules for the PROJECT, CONSULTANT has no control over cost or price of labor and
materials; unknown or latent conditions of existing equipment or structures that may affect
operation or maintenance costs; competitive bidding procedures and market conditions; time or
quality of performance by operating personnel or third parties; and other economic and
operational factors that may materially affect the ultimate project cost or schedule. Therefore, it
is understood between the parties the CONSULTANT makes no warranty the CITY's actual
project costs, financial aspects, economic feasibility, or schedules will not vary from
CONSULTANT's opinions, analyses, projections, or estimates.
ARTICLE VI. RECORD DRAWINGS
Record drawings, if required, will be prepared, in part, on the basis of information
compiled and furnished by others. CONSULTANT is not responsible for any errors or omissions
in the information from others the CONSULTANT reasonably relied upon and are incorporated
into the record drawings.
ARTICLE VII. CITY RESPONSIBILITIES
The CITY shall furnish, at the CONSULTANT’s request, such information as is needed by
the CONSULTANT to aid in the progress of the PROJECT, providing it is reasonably obtainable
from City records.
To prevent any unreasonable delay in the CONSULTANT’s work, the CITY will examine
all reports and other documents and will make any authorizations necessary to proceed with
work within a reasonable time period.

ARTICLE VIII. TIME OF COMPLETION
The work to be performed under this AGREEMENT shall be commenced and the work
completed within the time limits as agreed upon in the CONSULTANT’s Proposal.
The CONSULTANT shall perform the services under this AGREEMENT with reasonable
diligence and expediency consistent with sound professional practices. The CITY agrees the
CONSULTANT is not responsible for damages arising directly or indirectly from any delays for
causes beyond the CONSULTANT’s control. For the purposes of this AGREEMENT, such causes
include, but are not limited to, strikes or other labor disputes, severe weather disruptions or other
natural disasters, failure of performance by the CITY, or discovery of any hazardous substances
or differing site conditions. If the delays resulting from any such causes increase the time
required by the CONSULTANT to perform its services in an orderly and efficient manner, the
CONSULTANT shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in schedule.
While CONSULTANT has made reasonable efforts to incorporate into their plan for the
PROJECT any known current project impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, CONSULTANT has
not accounted for, and is not responsible for, unknown future changes due to the COVID-19
pandemic, including, without limitation, additional restrictions by government agencies or others
(such as the availability of the site for access or the availability of CITY or CONSULTANT staff
or others) to the extent they delay or otherwise impact the PROJECT. In that event,
CONSULTANT will notify CITY and work in good faith to equitably address any unexpected
impacts therefrom.

Re: Proposal for Providing Settlement Monitoring
Proposed Rural Detention Basin II
Clairville Road
Oshkosh, Wisconsin
Dear Mr. Gierach:
Professional Service Industries, Inc. (PSI), an Intertek company, is pleased to present this proposal for providing
settlement monitoring services associated with the proposed Rural Detention Basin II located along the west
side of Clairville Road in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. We have prepared this proposal based on the following:
• PSI Geotechnical Report No. 00941986, dated September 13, 2023
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
It is understood that the proposed project will consist of the construction of future developments, including
various structures, pavements, utilities, and other associated items. The project site is approximately 1,450 feet
wide and 2,600 feet long. No design information for the future developments (number of buildings, location of
buildings, size and number of stories) was available. It is understood that approximately 1,100,000 cubic yards
(about 12 to 22 feet) of fill will be placed to raise grades on the site prior to construction. It is understood that
the fill will be “borrowed” from a nearby site where a detention basin will be constructed by the City of Oshkosh.
SCOPE OF WORK
Based on a review of the information provided and PSI’s experience on similar projects, it is anticipated the
following testing services will be required.
• Installation of settlement monitoring plates at 8 to 10 locations spaced relatively uniformly across the
site. The settlement monitoring plates should be installed on the top of the existing subgrade prior to
placing any new fill.
• Installation of settlement monitoring surface monuments. The monuments should be installed on the
top of the final grades after completion of all new fill. At least 18 to 20 surface monuments should be
installed at locations near the settlement plates, as well as uniformly scattered across the overall site. A
settlement monitoring surface monument is also recommended at the location of each settlement plate.
The surface monuments should be installed to depths exceeding the frost line.
• Record elevations of settlement monitoring plates on a monthly basis.

REPORT DISTRIBUTION
PSI utilizes Construction Hive™ as an electronic
report distribution platform to provide a better
experience to clients. The Construction Hive™
system has powerful report viewing, retrieval
and searching capabilities that allow designated
users to find information in an efficient and
environmental-friendly manner.
Upon project set-up, Construction Hive™ will
electronically notify designated users when new
reports are posted so they can view, download
and forward relevant PSI test reports. In short, Sample Electronic Report
Construction Hive™ provides instantaneous access to reports from any internet web browser. Designated users
can specify how often they receive reports, can establish notification alerts, download reports, and forward
reports from Construction HiveTM.
A final summary report will be issued upon completion of the readings.
SCHEDULE
PSI is prepared to begin work within five (5) days upon receiving notice to proceed. We will remain available to
respond with at least 24 hours’ notice for any services required. While we will do our best to accommodate
shorter timeframes, it is not always feasible, especially during the busier summer and fall seasons. Our project
manager will work closely with the project team and the contractor to ensure the timeliness of our services.
QUALIFICATIONS
Local Presence / Global Resources
PSI maintains full-service engineering laboratory, inspection, and testing
offices throughout Wisconsin. These offices are very large and well
equipped with the necessary equipment and workspace to provide
comprehensive materials storage and testing for soils, aggregate,
concrete, masonry, fireproofing, steel, and related materials.
Further illustrating our depth of operations, PSI recently merged with
Intertek, a global provider of quality solutions. With a network of more
than 1,000 laboratories and offices in more than 100 countries, Intertek
provides auditing, inspection, testing, training, quality assurance and
certification by improving the quality and safety of products, assets and
processes.
PSI is also the largest construction testing firm in Wisconsin. We have the in-house qualifications and personnel
to provide the full range of services required for this project. This provides an added benefit to the project team
in that all services will be performed and managed by PSI, and we can immediately respond to any project needs.

Proposal Number: 0094-410014-R

With more than 100 offices nationwide, PSI can easily provide technical, personnel, and equipment resources to
projects. In addition, PSI’s laboratory facilities in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania have very extensive special testing
capabilities, and can test a wide variety of innovative or exploratory construction materials.
PROJECT FEE SUMMARY
It is proposed to accomplish the required work on a unit price basis in accordance with the Estimate Worksheet.
PSI's actual fees would be determined by the amount of technical time expended on this project and the
amount of laboratory testing performed. However, for budgeting purposes, we have prepared a preliminary
budget estimate for each phase of work requested.
Our construction materials testing services will be accomplished on a unit price basis in accordance with the
proposed scope of services and our Estimate Worksheet. Our estimate of scope and budget is based on the
information provided and our assumptions listed, including our assumption of the construction schedule. If more
detailed project information is available, we will be happy to review the additional data and work with you to
revise our estimates. Additional testing or other services may be required as the project proceeds. The actual
testing and services performed will be based on the project requirements and as requested and directed by the
Owner’s Representative or General Contractor. PSI’s fees will be determined by the actual amount of technical
time expended for this project and the amount of laboratory testing performed.
Please note that our services do not include supervision or direction of the actual construction process or work.
Also, be aware that neither the presence of our field representative nor the observation and testing by our firm
shall imply PSI's responsibility for defects discovered in the construction work. It should be understood that our
firm would not be responsible for job or site safety on this project. Job site safety will be the sole responsibility
of others. In this proposal, the words "inspection" and "verify" are used to mean observation of the work and
the conducting of tests by PSI to determine substantial compliance with plans, specifications, and design
concepts. The term “continuous”, as stated herein, shall mean the testing representative is on the site and in
the general work area during the activity requiring observation and inspection.
AUTHORIZATION
PSI will proceed with the work based on written authorization.
Respectfully submitted,
Professional Service Industries, Inc.
