DocuSign Envelope ID: B01E86EC-6FC1-43CE-8E90-79CF68C52249 ECS Southeast, LLP Utility Clearance We will contact North Carolina One Call to locate underground utilities at the site; however, our experience indicates that North Carolina One Call will not locate utilities beyond the point of distribution (meters or gauge points) on private property. We will coordinate our test boring/pit locations in order to avoid any underground utilities indicated by the North Carolina One Call locating system. However, we will not be responsible for any private utilities not pointed out to us by the land owner or client prior to drilling activities. Site Restoration Upon completion of subsurface exploration drilling, we will backfill each of the boreholes with the drill cuttings and mound the excess spoil back up over the test location. Typically, we will not provide site restoration beyond what is outlined above unless specifically contracted to do so. Alternatively, we can remove excess spoils from job sites and dispose of them in an approved manner for a negotiated additional fee. Please note that some disturbance to off-pavement surface areas, including the possible rutting of lawns, cutting of trees, running over of brush and understory in wooded areas might occur. We will attempt to minimize such disturbance; however, we have not budgeted for site restoration of the site including filling of tire ruts, seeding of lawn areas, or the planting of trees. If necessary, additional site restoration can be provided at an additional cost. Since clearing of site vegetation is required to access the proposed boring locations, please note that minimum 10-foot wide cleared paths will result. We will attempt to minimize disturbance, but felled trees and cleared underbrush should be anticipated in cleared paths. Our Cost Estimate does not include any restoration of cleared areas, moving/chipping of felled trees, etc. If there are any areas where clearing is not to be performed (such as in Resource Protection Areas (RPA) or other areas), those areas must be clearly marked on plans provided to us and should be delineated in the field with flagging prior to our mobilization to the site. ECS cannot be responsible for disturbance of sensitive or restricted areas not identified in this manner. FEE ECS will provide the proposed scope of services outlined in this proposal for a lump sum fee of$24,500. Our fee assumes that the proposed site is reasonably accessible based upon our assumptions detailed in this proposal. If any additional services are requested or required based on differing site conditions, we will contact your office (or assigned representative) for verbal and written authorization for additional services. Any additional services will be performed in accordance with our project unit rates on a time and material basis. SCHEDULE In preparing this proposal, we have assumed that the client will assist in the coordination of our access to the site with the current site owners/occupants. We anticipate being able to mobilize to the site ECS Proposal No:06:21174 Page 15 ffi-
