Subject: Proposal Subsurface Exploration
Little Muskego Lake
Muskego, Wisconsin
M.E.S. Proposal No. 7-2081
Dear Mayor Salentine,
Per our recent discussions and the May 28, 1992 site visit made
by Richard Eberhardt of Ruekert fi Mielke, John Loughney of the
City of Muskego and Matthew Henderson of Midwest Engineering
Services, Inc., we are pleased to submit this revised proposal
project. A brief description of our understanding of the to provide geotechnical engineering services for the referenced
project and a discussion of the scope of services to be
provided are included in the following paragraphs.
Proiect Backaround
The site is located on the south side of Little Muskego Lake
between Kingston Drive and Janesville Court. An existing
concrete spillway is located on the east side of the site and
consists of a concrete box about 15' wide and approximately 40'
long. The top of the spillway is at Elevation 792 .O with a
bottom elevation on the downstream side of about El. 175 +/-.
The diversion channel transverses through a residential area
and eventually into Big Muskego Lake.
The area of the project is located along the shoreline and
includes eleven (11) residential properties about 1000 feet
west of the spillway. The ground surface elevation along the
crest of the shoreline ranges from El. 192.5+/- .at the west
side to El. 794.5 +/- at the east side. The original plans for
the spillway and embankment specified that the embankment area
be raised to El. 796.0. The spillway was constructed but the
filling along the shoreline was not performed.
MES Proposal No. 7-2081
Little Muskego Lake
Muskego, Wisconsin
Page 2
The purpose of this investigation is to determine if the
existing embankment is stable with respect to slope stability
considerations. It is proposed by Ruekert h Mielke to maintain
the shoreline at El. 794.0 with compacted fill (where required)
used in conjunction with sheet piling. This will provide a
spillway that is about 1,200 feet long to be utilized during a
significant rain event. A breach analysis of the spillway
structure was performed by Ruekert h Mielke and indicated that
most of the properties along the shoreline in question would
experience some flooding during a significant rain event and/or
failure of the spillway structure.
Scope of Services
It is proposed to drill nine (9) borings for this project, to a
depth of approximately 15 to 30 feet below the existing ground
surface.
The elevations of the ground surface at the test boring
techniques referred to the top of the existing spillway.
locations will be determined by conventional leveling
The number, location, and depth of the test borings will be
dependent on the actual subsurface conditions encountered, and
may therefore vary from that anticipated. Where a significant
alteration to the workscope may be warranted, prior
authorization from the client will be obtained, and any
additional work will be charged at the unit rates shown on the
accompanying Standard Fee Schedule.
The subsurface exploration will be performed with a
truck-mounted drill rig, utilizing continuous flight hollow
stem auger to advance the test holes. Soil samples will be
secured by the Standard Penetration Test method at two and
one-half foot intervals, except that the sampling frequency may
be increased in zones of foundation influence, or where erratic
soil conditions are encountered. Groundwater level
observations will be noted during the drilling activities, and
classification and other testing will be performed to determine
in the open bore holes upon completion. Laboratory visual
the behavioral characteristics of the subsurface materials
encountered. Upon completion of drilling activities, the
boreholes will be filled with bentonite chips.
The results of the subsurface exploration and laboratory
testing will be utilized in an engineering evaluation and
analysis, and presented in a written report which 'will include
the following:
-Determination of soil and groundwater conditions
within the influence zone of the embankment.
MES Proposal No. 7-2081
Little Muskego Lake
Muskego, Wisconsin

-Provide recommendations for the type of sheet piling
suitable for the proposed structure, if required.
-Guidelines for subgrade preparation and placement of
structural fill in these areas.
-Construction considerations relating to fill
placement and subgrade preparation, site drainage and
groundwater control, and excavations.
-Provide computer generated slope stability analysis
for the existing and proposed embankment
configurations.
- Fee
Midwest Engineering Services, Inc. proposes to perform the
services on a unit charge basis, in accordance with the
Standard Fee Schedule and pursuant to the General Conditions,
both of which are enclosed herein. As requested by Attorney
the General Conditions have been deleted and the following
Dan Molter, representing the City of Muskego, Items 8 and 9 of
paragraph inserted. 0 Items 0 and 9
"LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY AND INSURANCE COVERAGE. The
liability of MES to the City of Muskego growing out of
this contract for MES's service, their negligence
growing out of this contract or allegedly arising from
MES's professional acts, errors and omissions shall be
limited to the amount of insurance coverage for said
acts. MES represents that the company maintains
general liability and property damage insurance
coverage, motor vehicle insurance coverage and
professional liability coverage, the limits of which
are at least $1,000,000 per incident and umbrella
coverage of an additional $3,000,000 which is, at the
least, additional coverage over and above the
insurance for general liability and motor vehicle
insurance. MES's employees are covered by worker's
compensation insurance. MES warrants and represents
that it shall maintain the coverages stated above so
that the coverage will be in effect as to any claim

the contract. Certificates of Insurance will be
provided to any additional insured upon request."

In addition, the following conditions were also added to
protect the property owners:
"All concrete and asphalt driveways or patios will
have planks placed over them before MES operates on
them and plywood sheets shall be placed upon all grass
areas to prevent ruts before MES operates on them."
"If MES is to operate upon property owned by persons
other than the City in performing this contract, they
shall not do so, except if they have given the
property owner or owners in questions three (3) days
prior notice before starting operations upon said
property. I'
The City will cooperate with MES in attempting to work
with the property owners to locate sprinkler systems
prior to commencement of the work."
and electrical lines on the property in questions
A summary of the anticipated cost for the outlined services is
shown on the attached Estimate Worksheet, and will be on the
order of $8,500.00 to $9,500.00. Final compensation will
depend upon the actual number and depth of borings drilled,
laboratory tests performed, and required engineering time. Any
beyond the control of our personnel, will be considered as
special equipment required for site access, and any delays
additional costs.
An analysis of the hydrology of the surrounding area and the
hydraulic capabilities of the spillway and diversion channel
are beyond the scope of this study.
Midwest Engineering will proceed with the work on the basis of
written authorization. Please sign in the acceptance block
below, and return one copy of this proposal for our files.
Should you have any questions regarding this proposal, or if we
could be of any other assistance, please call at any time. We
are looking forward to working with you on this project.
Sincerely yours,
