DocuSign Envelope ID:34CC7277-FDAE-4FDE-B006-5BD22283431D ECS SOUTHEAST, LLP Communications To expedite the timely distribution of our daily reports, our field personnel utilize wireless hand-held technology to collect, process, and return data to our Raleigh office. Our use of this powerful technology typically facilitates electronic distribution of our reports within approximately 24 hours. This enhanced reporting technology allows us to simultaneously communicate our testing data with all project team members. We anticipate our services will be needed on a full-time basis during earthwork and foundation installation and typically on an on-call basis thereafter. The appropriate contractor or owner representative should contact our scheduling coordinator to provide the appropriate level of staffing to meet the project requirements; the direct phone number is 919-861-9830.All scheduling requests must be made 24 hours in advance so that the proper personnel may be scheduled for the required inspection task. Each scheduling request will be assigned a work order number so that the scheduled testing and inspection is documented. We also ask that we be provided with one full set of up-to-date project drawings and specifications prior to starting work on this project. ECS will transmit reports by e-mail. Please list those to whom the reports should be sent and provide their e-mail on the attached Proposal Acceptance Form. FEES/COST OF SERVICES Based upon the scope of services and our fee schedule, ECS estimates that our services for this project will be on the order of $31,542.80. A cost estimate is attached. ECS will invoice Orange County Asset Mgmt. & Purchasing for our services on a unit-rate basis in accordance with the unit rates provided in the attached Project Fee Schedule. Invoices will be submitted on a monthly basis—typically on or about the 10th day of each month. Our estimated cost provided does not constitute a lump-sum or not-to-exceed price for our services. Additional visits, re-inspections and unanticipated scopes of services may be required and will be invoiced in accordance with the attached fee schedule. At the time of this proposal, a construction schedule was not available and this cost estimate is based on our assumption of the construction schedule considering the construction drawings and specifications provided. The actual cost may be more or less than our cost estimate and will depend on the duration of construction and the frequency of testing scheduled by the general contractor. Should a defined construction schedule and detailed scope of services become available, we would be happy to prepare a more defined cost estimate. Should the construction schedule change and/or change in the scope of services differ from the proposed schedule or supplied schedule and scopes, our estimate will be revised utilizing the enclosed unit rates within this proposal. ECS will invoice only the actual costs of services expended.
