DocuSign Envelope ID: 3B7FF6D8-761 B-4C88-A691-9E7C554A969C <br /> January 7, 2016 ECS CAROLINAS, LLP <br /> • Special conditions encountered; <br /> • Site Seismic classification; <br /> • Site vicinity map; <br /> • Boring location plan; <br /> • Soil test boring logs; and <br /> • Summary of laboratory test results. <br /> ECS will transmit reports by e-mail (and up to three hard copies via U.S. Mail, if requested). Please list <br /> those to whom the reports should be sent and provide their e-mail addresses or mailing addresses, as <br /> appropriate, on the Proposal Acceptance Form. <br /> Phase I Environmental Site Assessment(ESA) <br /> The Phase I ESA will be prepared in general accordance with ASTM Standard E1527-13, Standard <br /> Practice for Phase I Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process. <br /> ECS reserves the right to adjust the quoted price for this Phase I ESA if supplemental investigation, <br /> additional lender requirements, or other services beyond the scope outlined in this proposal, are <br /> requested. <br /> In addition, the ASTM standard also requires a search for the existence of environmental liens and <br /> activity and use limitations (AULs)to be conducted in order to satisfy"All Appropriate Inquiry" in <br /> accordance with 40 CFR Part 312. If this information is not readily available, ECS can contract with a <br /> third party provider to conduct this search for an additional fee. It should be noted that failure to <br /> procure this information prior to acquisition of subject site (or contract for its attainment) may preclude <br /> your ability to qualify for certain liability protections. Please indicate on the attached authorization page <br /> if you would prefer ECS to obtain this information on your behalf. <br /> We have attached a User Questionnaire to assist Orange County Asset Management& Purchasing <br /> (User of the report) and the environmental professional (ECS) in gathering information from the User <br /> that may be material to identifying recognized environmental conditions with respect to the site. As the <br /> User of the report, please complete the attached User Questionnaire. In order to facilitate project <br /> completion, the User Questionnaire should be completed and returned to ECS at the same time this <br /> proposal is authorized. This Questionnaire will be included in the Phase I ESA Report and will assist in <br /> satisfying the "User's Responsibilities" portion of the ASTM Standard. <br /> In addition, we would appreciate receiving a current chain-of-ownership for the subject site back to at <br /> least 1940, if one is available from the Orange County Asset Management& Purchasing. If this <br /> information is not readily available, ECS can conduct a 50-Year Chain of Title search for an additional fee. <br /> The proper performance of"due diligence" in respect to environmental site assessments requires both <br /> an on-site evaluation and a careful review of available applicable local, state, and federal public records. <br /> It would expedite matters if your office could provide ECS with a site plan and a point of contact for site <br /> access. <br /> ECS has included provisions for visual evaluation of non-scope items (i.e. asbestos,wetlands, mold, etc.) <br /> which may pose a business environmental risk (BER)to the subject site. ECS will not collect samples or <br /> perform testing of items. <br /> a <br /> ECS Proposal Nos. 06:19464 and 06:19465 Page 14 <br /> O'" <br />
