October 8, 2010 Project Management Division Attn: Kathy Hurst Room 1C-4A Oklahoma Department of Transportation 200 NE 21st Street Oklahoma City, OK 73105 Re: EC-1321: Off-System Bridge Inspections EST, Inc. is interested in continuing to provide ODOT with Off-System Bridge inspections services for EC-1321. We look forward to continuing working with ODOT and providing all the necessary inspection services on this project. EST has multiple certified inspection teams capable of inspecting different areas of the state at the same time. Below are EST’s proposed Inspection Teams for these inspections: Our Bridge Inspection Division has five certified Professional Engineers and all have completed the required two week comprehensive training course for bridge inspection and the QC/QA training as required by ODOT. Additionally, several members have completed the training and certification required to perform fracture critical bridge inspection. Our Bridge Inspection Division has a vast amount of experience inspecting both on and off system bridges across the state and annually inspects around 1000 bridges.

Norman Moore Ardmore Stillwater Tulsa McAlester Lawton www.estinc.net

EST’s Bridge Inspection Division has inspected and rated several hundred bridges annually for numerous clients such as ODOT, Adair County, Canadian County, Cherokee County, Cleveland County, Okmulgee County, Sequoyah County and many other counties within the State of Oklahoma. EST’s Bridge Inspection Division also has experience working in other states as well as experience working on large high profile bridges. The staff of EST has experience conducting fatigue and fracture research for ODOT through Oklahoma State University. Additionally, EST has a large staff of designers regularly performing bridge design for numerous bridges across Oklahoma, and EST has a large staff of construction managers and inspectors working on numerous construction projects that often contain bridges. Combined, the staff of EST has over 100 years of bridge design, construction and inspection experience. EST’s experienced inspectors have provided services to multiple different clients across the State. The following individuals can be contacted to verify EST’s performance in providing inspection services:

• Bob Rusch, P.E. – ODOT Bridge Division Engineer • Walt Peters, P.E. – ODOT Assistant Bridge Division Engineer • Wes Kellogg, P.E. – ODOT Bridge Engineer

EST will approach this project with the same professionalism and tenacity that has led to our continuing success providing various municipalities and governmental entities with quality inspecting services. Currently our inspectors are finalizing several inspections for ODOT and are in a position to begin immediately on any project. Our combined teams’ knowledge and experience gives EST the most complete inspection team capable of providing the most accurate, efficient services on this project. Once again, we appreciate the opportunity to submit this Letter of Interest. EST will strive to maintain a good working relationship with ODOT by providing the absolute best engineering services that adhere to ODOT standards and requirements. We look forward to continuing our working relationship in the future by providing exemplary specialized engineering services. If you have any questions or would like to meet for a personal interview, please contact us at (405) 307-8378. Sincerely,

Michael Vahabzadegan, P.E. President
