Dear Mr. Dugger:
In accordance with your recent request, Solutient GeoSciences, Inc. (Solutient) is pleased to

consultant relative to all landfill groundwater monitoring, data review, reporting, and general
geological and hydrogeological services, as needed, for the above referenced facility.
Scope of Services
As we understand it, the work will consist of conducting quarterly and semi-annual
groundwater monitoring events and reporting in accordance with the existing Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) approved Groundwater Sampling and
Analysis Plan (GWSAP) and 30 TAC, Chapter 330, Subchapters F and J. The following
discussion provides a detailed explanation of the services to be provided.
C Hydrogeological Consulting - includes 1) generation and on-going maintenance
of existing groundwater analytical data base, 2) management and direct
supervision of groundwater monitoring events, 3) review of analytical data, 4)
preparation of annual groundwater monitoring reports, including groundwater
contour maps and semi-annual statistical evaluations, 4) evaluation and submittal

C Analytical Services - includes sampling and analysis of groundwater samples
collected at landfill facility in accordance with the TCEQ-approved GWSAP. A
total of twenty groundwater monitoring wells, which comprise the facility (MSW
Permit No. 1590A) groundwater monitoring system, will be gauged, purged, and
sampled using dedicated, low-flow pumps and a Well Wizard micropurge®
system. The wells will be sampled semi-annually for detection monitoring
constituents, which are presented in Table 5-1, GWSAP. Also included in the
work plan is a provision for up to two verification re-sampling/assessment
monitoring events at up to three monitoring wells per year. Assessment samples
would be analyzed for 40 CFR Part 258 Appendix II constituents. Lastly, four
leachate samples will be collected and analyzed for necessary pre-treatment
constituents, as required by the waste water treatment plant and the landfill re-
circulation requirements. All analyses will be performed using EPA-approved
methods by Ana-Lab Corporation.
C Sanitas™ for Ground Water Maintenance Agreement - provides for annual
upgrades and software support of Sanitas™, a statistical analysis software
package used to perform statistical evaluation of groundwater quality data.
C Annual Detection Groundwater Monitoring Report - includes preparation of
annual detection and assessment groundwater monitoring report.
C Background Statistical Evaluation Report - perform evaluation of most recent 2-
year period of analytical data in 2018 and incorporate into background data, as
appropriate.
C Contingency Funding - includes a provision for contingency funds for the
possibility of additional wells to be included for assessment monitoring in the
event any facility well enters assessment monitoring as per recent regulatory
requirements and implementation procedures.
All services provided will be coordinated and performed under the direct supervision of Mr.
Leslie A. Jeske, P.G., Hydrogeologist. Mr. Jeske has served as the primary groundwater
consultant at the facility since 1999.
Low-flow purging and sampling activities will be conducted using instruments and
equipment owned and maintained by the City. In the event the instruments are found in need
of repair, the City will be promptly notified to insure minimal delays in completing the
scheduled monitoring events. The City will be responsible for all costs associated with
repairs and on-going maintenance.

Based upon the above scope of services and our understanding of the project, we have
prepared the attached Probable Cost Estimate which shows the estimated quantities of work
and unit fees. It is estimated that the total amount of this contract for October 1, 2016 -
September 30, 2019 should not exceed $ 304,961.00. In the event additional services are

required beyond those detailed in this contract, such will be performed on a time and
materials basis at the unit rate as shown on the Probable Cost Estimate.
You will be notified if unforeseen conditions are encountered or there is a necessity to
change the scope of work. Additional work will not be performed without first obtaining

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Denton (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to
you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your DocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly,
and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of
this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
