Proposal for Geotechnical Services and Phase I ESA Orange County Jail Site Hillsborough,Orange County,North Carolina ECS Proposal Number 06:17061 prior to completion of the Phase I ESA, please notify us immediately so that ECS may determine if there are additional lender requirements over and above those specified in the ASTM Standard. ECS reserves the right to adjust its quoted price for this Phase I ESA if supplemental investigation or testing is necessary to satisfy requirements which may be more stringent than those described in this proposal. The proper performance of "due diligence" in respect to environmental site assessments requires both an on-site inspection and a careful review of available applicable local, state and federal public records. It would expedite matters if your office could provide ECS with a site plan and a point of contact for site access. In addition, we would appreciate receiving a current chain-of-ownership for the subject site back to at least 1940 if one is available. FEE ESTIMATE Geotechnical Services Based on the scope of services and drilling quantities outlined in this proposal, the lump sum fee for our services will be $4,000.00. Phase I ESA Based on the above outlined scope of services, ECS can perform the Phase I ESA for a lump sum fee of$2,000.00. The above fees and our schedule assume that the site is accessible to our ATV-mounted drilling equipment with dozer clearing. It also assumes that we have full access to the site and are not required to encounter standby time or wait on others to gain access to our drilling locations. if these problems are encountered, you will be charged the additional time plus the additional charges in accordance to our attached Fee Schedule. Provided conditions are as understood, and as assumed, we would expect the final costs to be as outlined above. Should conditions, sampling results or observations indicate that additional work is necessary or warranted, we would notify you of the additional costs before modifying or expanding the extent of our scope of services. If other items are required based on field conditions encountered in our field exploration program, they would be invoiced in accordance with the attached Fee Schedule. Before modifying or expanding the extent of our exploration program, you would be informed of our intentions for both your review and authorization. Optional Evaluation of Utility Capacity (water, sewer, gas, electricity, telecom, CATV) We will notify "One-Call' immediately. We will start our own independent research and field observation to locate the utility appurtenances. We will contact the various utility representatives for Duke Energy Progress, PSNC, AT&T, OWASA, Time Warner and others as needed to determined size, age, materials, locations, capacities, pressures and flow, if applicable, from record data. Estimated costs for performing these services is $1,600. Preliminary Items Existing utilities must be addressed before beginning on-site exploratory work, as follows: • ECS will contact the public utility locator service, North Carolina One-Call Center, to request that utilities be marked prior to performing exploratory work (digging, drilling, etc.). The North Carolina One-Call Center then contacts the utility companies typically known to have 3
