(hereinafter"Fees") <br /> S&EC OPERATING GUIDELINES <br /> Soil&Environmental Consultants,PA(S&EC)is a professional environmental consulting firm that renders opinions in certain environmental <br /> matters. Rules governing most regulated issues(interpreted and governed by local,state and federal agencies)are evolving constantly,and in <br /> many cases, affected by the opinions of individuals employed by these governing agencies. Consequently, S&EC cannot guarantee that our <br /> opinions will be accepted or permitted by the governing agencies. <br /> Additional work may also be requested by local,state and federal agencies,even when S&EC believes the work previously performed should be <br /> sufficient. Such additional work will be billed at our hourly rates as indicated on our fee schedule(if it is beyond the scope of our initial work, <br /> and if authorized by the client). If the client fails to authorize additional work requested by the governing agencies,then it will be highly unlikely <br /> that permits or other approvals will be obtained. Even then, authorization of the additional work by the client does not imply or constitute a <br /> guarantee by S&EC that a permit(s)or approvals will be obtained. In all cases,authorization by the client for S&EC to begin work confirms the <br /> client's responsibility to pay all invoices for authorized work regardless of outcome of authorized work. <br /> Any and all subsurface utilities(water,sewer,cable,irrigation,power,telephone,etc.)are to be located by the client before S&EC's site work. <br /> The signer of this contract assumes all responsibility for any accidental damage that occurs if the locations of utilities are not clearly and <br /> accurately marked prior to commencement of our work. <br /> The time spent on a job will include mobilization,travel time to the site,field work,travel time back to the office,demobilization,report <br /> preparation,map preparation and correspondence. Mileage will be billed roundtrip from the nearest S&EC office that provides the type of work <br /> requested. <br /> The terms stated in this proposal are valid 90 days from the date of this agreement. <br /> PAYMENT TERMS <br /> (a) Invoices will be submitted monthly by S&EC for payment by Client or immediately upon completion of Services unless other <br /> invoicing and payment terms are agreed to in writing and signed by both the Client and S&EC. Payment is due upon receipt and is past due thirty(30) <br /> calendar days from date of invoice. If Client has any valid reason for disputing any portion of an invoice,Client will so notify S&EC within ten(10) <br /> business days of receipt of invoice by Client,and if no such notification is given,the invoice will be deemed valid. The portion of S&EC's invoice <br /> that is not in dispute shall be paid in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. <br /> (b) A finance charge of 1.5%per month on the unpaid amount of an invoice,or the maximum amount allowed by law,will be <br /> charged on past due accounts. Payments by Client will thereafter be applied first to accrued interest and then to the principal unpaid balance. Any <br /> attorney fees,court costs,or other costs incurred in collection of delinquent accounts shall be paid by Client. If payment of invoices is not current, <br /> S&EC may suspend performing further work. <br /> AUTHORIZATION <br /> Client(print): <br /> Billing Address: <br /> City: State: Zip: <br /> Phone Number: Fax Number: <br /> Mobile: Email address: <br /> I understand and agree to all terms of this PROPOSAL/AGREEMENT and hereby authorize S&EC to proceed <br /> with the Services as described above. <br /> Signature of Client Date <br /> As Client,I will require a Certificate of Insurance from Soil&Environmental Consultants,PA Yes No <br /> Client PO#(if applicable) <br /> S&EC Contact Name Deborah E.Shirley Project Number 13441 <br /> Project Name TilleV PropertV Date 09-11-18 <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
