Drive, Ste. 200 T919.827.0864 Cary. NC 27511 TRCcompanies.com Dear Mr. King: Ont behalf of TRC Companies, Inc (TRC), thank you for allowing us the opportunity to present our proposal to the Town of Princeton (Town) for providing professional engineering services for the development of plans, scope, technical specifications, and all required permitting documentation necessary for vegetative debris removal, bank stabilization for the Beaver Dam Creek Rehabilitation project. This proposal also includes all necessary bid administration, construction administration, grant administration, and limited construction observation services. Our understanding of the project is based upon on observations at the site and several discussions with Town staff. The Beaver Dam Creek serves as the primary outfall for much of the drainage on the northern half of Town. Named and unnamed storms have introduced sediment, vegetative, and other debris to the drainage channel. Continued flooding has eroded the stream bank adjacent to the headworks of the wastewater treatment plant. Utilizing funds recently secured through a StRAP Grant, the Town desires to remove debris and sediment from Beaver Dam Creek, as well as stabilize the bank adjacent to the wastewater treatment plant. This project is dual phased - the first phase will remove vegetative and miscellaneous hazardous debris from the channel and secure itto! banks such thati it cannot reenter the creek. The second phase will remove accumulated sediment from the channel, as well as stabilize the bank adjacent to the wastewater treatment plant's headworks. The attached Our proposed, scope of services has been prepared in general accordance with the engineering standards of I.
