Corrosivity (pH, resistivity, sulfates, chlorides)..................220.00 Organic Content, ASTM D2974.........................................100.00 Conditions: Unit rates presented on this fee schedule are for routinely performed geotechnical laboratory tests. Numerous other earth material physical tests can be performed in our geotechnical laboratories, including rock core, soil cement and soil lime mixture tests. Tests not listed can be quoted upon request. This fee schedule is valid through December 31, 2022.
Prices are based on the assumption that samples are uncontaminated and do not contain heavy metals, acids, carcinogens and/or volatile organics which can be measured by an organic vapor analyzer or photoionization detector with a concentration greater than 50 parts-per-million (ppm). Quoted testing fees are based on the assumption that no protective clothing will be required to handle samples. If Level D protective clothing will be required during handling of samples (as defined in Federal CFR Part 1910.120), then a 40% increase in fees presented in this schedule will be applied. Level C protective clothing will be a 60% increase in fees. Converse will not handle samples that require either Level B or Level A protection in our geotechnical laboratories.
Contaminated samples will be returned to the client. Uncontaminated samples will be disposed of 30 days after presentation of test results. The client must disclose the source of samples. Samples imported from out of state will be incinerated after testing in accordance with requirements of the United States Department of Agriculture. Soil samples obtained within the State of California currently designated quarantine areas will also be incinerated in accordance with the requirement of the State of California, Department of Food and Agriculture, Division of Plant Industry, Pest Exclusion. A $5.00 incineration fee will be added to each sample that is required to be incinerated in accordance with State and Federal law.
Test results requiring plots will be presented in a publishable format generated from computer programs. Otherwise, raw test numbers will be presented. A minimum laboratory fee of $50.00 will be charged to present and mail test results. Beyond the standard U.S. Mail delivery, specialized transmittal will be charged at additional cost (e.g., Federal Express, UPS, etc.). Geotechnical testing does not include engineering and/or geologic review and analysis.
Typical turnaround for geotechnical laboratory testing is two weeks (or roughly ten working days). To expedite test turnaround to five working days, a 50% increase in the fees in this schedule will be applied. Many geotechnical tests require at least one week to perform in accordance with ASTM or other standard specifications. Fees presented in this schedule for relatively undisturbed direct shear, consolidation or expansion pressure tests are based on the assumption that 2.416-inch inside diameter brass ring samples will be provided to the geotechnical laboratory for testing. Remolded specimens will be compacted in standard 2.5-inch outside diameter brass rings for direct shear, consolidation and expansion pressure tests. All fees presented in this schedule are based on the assumption that the client will deliver samples to our laboratory at no additional cost to Converse.
Invoices will be issued monthly and are payable on receipt unless otherwise agreed upon. Interest of 1.5% per month (but not exceeding the maximum allowed by law) will be payable on any amount not paid within thirty days; payment thereafter to be applied first to accrued interest and then to the principle unpaid amount. The Client shall pay any attorneys' fees or other costs incurred in collecting any delinquent amounts.

SCOPE OF WORK AND FEE ESTIMATE
The purpose of this document is to provide scope of work and fee estimate to amend the original Agreement, dated July 30, 2022, between the City of Twentynine Palms (City) and Carollo Engineers, Inc. (Consultant) for developing a Conceptual Design Report (CDR), assistance with procurement of a DesignBuilder, and project controls initiation for the City’s new wastewater treatment facility (WWTF). The City intends to deliver the new WWTF utilizing Progressive Design-Build and is planning to initiate procurement of a Design-Builder in Quarter 1 of 2024.
Background
Currently, most of generated wastewater within Twentynine Palms is disposed through individual onsite septic tanks. The City is planning to transition from existing septic tanks to a centralized system, by collecting and conveying the generated wastewater to a new WWTF. As a part of early tasks, a CDR is needed to establish the design criteria and requirements for the WWTF. The CDR will serve as the technical documentation provided to prospective Design-Builders for the purpose of preparation of proposals and for serving as the “bridging documents” that will inform the selected Design-Builder’s design and cost development. Preparation for procurement of a Design-Builder includes procurement planning and development of procurement documentation. Project controls initiation is required to establish the approach and systems to manage documents, schedule, cost and risks during the Progressive Design-Build delivery.
List of Assumptions
For developing the scope of work and fee estimate, the following assumptions are made:
The CDR will be prepared at a conceptual level, i.e., up to 5 to 10 percent of overall design completion.
Scope is limited to treatment plant - wastewater conveyance, and solids and recycled water disposals are not included.
Plant effluent will meet requirements for “Disinfected Tertiary Recycled Water” in California Title 22 Code of Regulations.
Influent flow raw data will be provided by others.
In absence of influent wastewater characteristics, Consultant will determine constituents’ concentrations based on reasonable assumptions.
No geotechnical investigations or site survey activities are included. No funding or environmental documentation support services are included. Work will be performed starting in February 2023 and by March 1 2024 (approximate 12-month duration).
Design-Build contractual terms and conditions, and contractual documentation will be developed by City’s legal counsel. Consultant will coordinate with City’s legal counsel and provide technical input into contractual documents and develop scope and technical exhibits that accompany the DesignBuild Agreement. Client reviews of documents will be provided within two weeks (ten working days)

Mayor and Council
I am excited to present the City of Twentynine Palm’s two-year Strategic Plan. This plan will serve as the roadmap that guides staff in recommendations for resource allocations. With the guidance and leadership from the Mayor and Council, and outstanding participation from our community, the following goals have been identified which create the foundation for the strategic plan. In addition to the top ten goals, the staff understands the overarching strategic goals are public safety, fiscally sound government, improved infrastructure, and quality of life. Below is the list in no particular order.
1. New Shelter / Animal Control
2. Addition of a Sheriff Detective
3. Ballfield Lights
4. Theatre29 Expansion
5. Housing and Homeless Advisory Committee
6. Events
7. IT Improvements
8. Debt Financing to pay for major improvements
9. Revenue Augmentation to pay for debt financing
10. Emergency Response Plan
Throughout the development of the strategic plan, we received tremendous support and input from the Council and Community. The Council over a two-day period went over a variety of topics to stimulate discussion. As the staff implements the various projects, programs, and policies outlined in the strategic plan, staff will work diligently to build upon the available resources we have in our community.
To summarize the strategic priorities
• The Current Animal Shelter/Animal Control buildings are old steel buildings built by the staff and the community in the early 90s, however they have exhausted their useful life;
• With the volume of service calls and the subsequent case load of the detectives, there is a need to increase staffing in the detective bureau to more effectively investigate and solve crimes;
• Luckie Park has 24 wood ballfield lights, most of these wood poles have exceeded their life, and the remaining are at the end of life. This safety project has added benefits with installing LED lights as well that have energy savings; • Theatre 29, our local performing arts facility which is a partnership with a nonprofit has a need to expand their capacity from 90 sets to 150. It is a City owned building;
• Due to the current need to add inventory to our housing stock, and very specifically affordable housing and, in part, connected to the homeless problem, Council wants to stand up an advisory committee to review and suggest solutions to the Housing and Homeless problem;
• Event (Art, Culture, Music, and other) development, utilizing our current organizations and potentially new organizations to enhance culture and our destination;
• Very specifically the Animal Shelter and Theatre 29 expansion will exceed the ability for the City to build with a “pay as you go” approach. The City will need to augment our revenues and then leverage that revenue with a financing mechanism to build these facilities.
• To be prepared for natural and man-made disasters, the City needs to be prepared to react to these disasters to protect and inform our residents.
Special thanks to all the participants involved in this process for their time and input.
Their contributions, and the entire staff, have been, and will continue to be invaluable as we work together to accomplish the many objectives and strategies identified in the Strategic Plan.
Sincerely,
Frank J. Luckino
