delay in the work or in the construction of the Owner or of separate contractors, while allowing sufficient time in the Design Professional's professional judgment to
permit adequate review. Review of such submittals is not conducted for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of other details such as dimensions
and quantities or for substantiating instructions for installation or performance of equipment or systems designed by the Contractor, all of which remain the
responsibility of the Contractor to the extent required by the Contract Documents. The Design Professional's review shall not constitute approval of safety precautions
or, unless otherwise specifically stated by the Design Professional, of construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. The Design Professional's
approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component. When professional certification of performance characteristics

requirements of the Contract Documents.
2.6.15 The Design Professional shall interpret and provide recommendations on matters concerning performance of the Owner and Contractor under the requirements

Re: Proposal Geotechnical Exploration
Morse Street Expansion and Overlay
Morse Street, between Loop 288 and Mayhill Road
Denton, Texas
ALPHA Proposal No. 64388-rev1
ALPHA TESTING, INC. (hereinafter “ALPHA”) is hereby pleased to submit toBurgess & Niple - Fort Worth (hereinafter
“Client”)the following proposal for a Geotechnical Exploration on the project referenced above. We understand ALPHA
has been selected to perform professional services for this project based solely on our qualifications and that the client is
currently negotiating work scope and fee exclusively with ALPHA at this time.
Project Information
We understand the project consists of adding additional lanes to the south side of Morse Street between Kimberly Road and
Mayhill Road. The new lanes will be paved with asphalt concrete pavement. The existing portion of Morse Street between
Loop 288 and Morse Street will be improved with a new asphalt overlay. In addition, a new parking lot may be constructed
to the east of the existing building located on the southeast corner of Kimberly Drive and Morse Street. The purpose of the
geotechnical study will be to provide information for use in design of typical pavement sections for the proposed lane
additions and recommendations for the asphalt overlay of the existing pavement. If applicable, recommendations for new
parking lot pavement will also be provided.
Scope of Work
This study will include the following evaluations:
Subsurface soil, rock and groundwater conditions on the site to depths that would be significantly affected by
foundations.
Engineering characterization of the subsurface materials encountered.
Typical pavement sections for the proposed expansion in accordance with City of Denton Transportation Criteria
Manual.
Typical pavement sections for the proposed parking lot.
Recommendations regarding earthwork, including grading and excavation, backfilling and compaction, the
treatment of in-place soils for the support of pavement and possible construction problems reasonably to be
expected.
As requested, we will explore the subsurface soil and/or rock conditions at the site by drilling test borings along Morse Street
on a 500 ft interval. This equates to a minimum of four (4) test borings. As an option, a single boring can also be drilled in
the proposed parking lot location, as requested. It is estimate the necessary information will be provided by drilling the test
borings to a depth of 10 ft each. At the completion of drilling operations, boreholes will be backfilled and plugged with soil
cuttings, and any pavement that is penetrated will be patched with similar material. Settlement of boreholes may occur over
time. ALPHA shall not be responsible for any settlement of boreholes that may occur after initial backfilling. The number
and depth of the test borings required to obtain the necessary field data may vary depending on the actual soil and/or rock
conditions encountered. If unusual subsurface conditions are encountered and alternate field work is indicated, we will
consult with the client prior to initiating any additional services. Please note, regardless of the number of borings performed
subsurface conditions between borings may vary.
The study will also include laboratory tests to evaluate the classification, gradation and certain physical characteristics of the
subsurface soils. The specific types and quantities of tests will be determined based on soil/rock conditions encountered in
the borings. Our laboratories are fully equipped with modern equipment for soil and rock testing and tests are performed by
trained qualified technicians in compliance with the applicable specifications. Field exploration programs are conducted with
drilling equipment operated by experienced and reliable drillers. All field and laboratory staff are supervised by professional
Dallas • Fort Worth • Houston • San Antonio

engineers.
Results of the field exploration and laboratory tests will be utilized in the engineering analysis and the formulation of our
recommendations. Results of our study, including the substantiating data and our recommendations, will be presented in a
written report prepared by a Licensed Professional Engineer.
Costs and Schedule
Our fee for performance of the geotechnical study on the site described will be as noted below. We guarantee not to exceed
this figure without your approval. Boring operations would commence within about nine (9) working days from your
notification to proceed. The complete written report would be electronically sent to you within about ten (10) working days
following completion of the boring operations.
Geotechnical Fee for Morse Street Improvements$4,000.00
Geotechnical Fee for the Proposed Parking Lot$2,200.00*
*This fee includes a separate mobilization and report.
The above cost estimate is valid for 90 days and is based on Client providing suitable access and entry to test boring locations
during normal business hours. Client represents that it has full authority from the current landowner to engage ALPHA to
perform this study. The pricing provided above assumes test boring locations can be accessed using standard, truck-mounted
drilling equipment. Surveying of boring locations and elevations is not included in the cost estimate, but can be provided if
needed upon request. If difficult site conditions are encountered, alternate pricing may be provided using an All-Terrain
Drilling Unit or other portable equipment. The existing road appears to consist of asphalt. Drilling through concrete, if
present below the asphalt, will be charged at an additional $ 85.00/hole.
Prior to start of drilling, ALPHA will contact Texas One-Call utility clearance (Texas811) to mark and clear utilities at the
boring locations. The Client shall provide any known site specific utility information upon acceptance of this proposal.
ALPHA is not responsible for damage to any below grade utilities of which we are not made aware. Traffic control, if
needed, is not included in the scope of work, but can be provided upon request for a fee.
Please note: Our field equipment may rut the site during drilling operations. A concerted effort will be made to minimize
such problems, however, ALPHA is not responsible for re-grading or repairing rutted areas if they develop.
The scope of work for this study does not include stability analysis for any slopes either to be constructed or which may exist
on the site. If the final grading plans indicate significant slopes (over about 3 ft high) will exist, it is recommended the client
have slope stability analysis conducted. Further, the scope of work proposed herein does not include design parameters for
retaining walls nor does it include global stability of the same. If a slope stability analysis and/or a retaining wall analysis is
desired, upon request, ALPHA will provide a separate Proposal for such analysis.
If this Proposal is acceptable, please have an authorized officer sign in the space provided below in theProposal Acceptance
Form and return a signed copy via either email or fax, or the signed original to our office. We will consider receipt of a
signed original or copy of this Proposal as our Notice to Proceed. Work cannot be initiated prior to receiving a signed copy
of this Proposal. If a copy is e-mailed or faxed, client consents to such copy of a signature, or electronic signature, as serving
as an original signature. Unless prior arrangements are agreed to in writing, payment for services described in this Proposal
is due within 30 days of invoice date. Payment of the invoice is not contingent on Client’s agreement or acceptance of
ALPHA’s design recommendations or report discussion. If CLIENT objects to any portion of an invoice or report, it shall
notify ALPHA in writing within ten (10) days from the date of actual receipt of the invoice of the amount and nature of the
dispute, and shall timely pay undisputed portions of the invoice.
By execution of this Proposal, the undersigned Client acknowledges and agrees that the attached “Terms and Conditions”
have been provided or made available to Client and Client agrees that such Terms and Conditions shall be applied to the
present Proposal and shall be fully binding upon Client. The “Terms and Conditions” are attached to this proposal as
“Exhibit A” and are fully incorporated into this Proposal by reference as if set forth herein.

Section 6: Confidentiality
All data, forms, software, or any other materials developed by ALPHA pursuant to the performance of Services under this Agreement, or supplied to or
obtained by ALPHA from CLIENT, or generated by ALPHA or its subcontractors is confidential (the “Confidential Material”) and will be afforded
Confidential Treatment by ALPHA, its employees, agents, affiliates, and subcontractors. Proprietary concepts and systems of ALPHA, and ideas developed
by ALPHA during the performance of the Services shall remain the sole property of ALPHA (“Alpha Intellectual Property”). Confidential Treatment
includes the following: (i) The Confidential Material will be available only to employees of ALPHA; and (ii) Confidential Material will not be disclosed to
any third party without the prior authorization of CLIENT. Upon completion of the Services or other termination of this Agreement, any Confidential
Material retained by ALPHA not previously provided to third parties pursuant to Client authorization shall be retained by ALPHA for a period of at least 60
days, during which time period, such Confidential Material will be returned to CLIENT upon request by CLIENT. After this time period, ALPHA shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to destroy such Confidential Material, thus terminating its confidentiality obligations. If Confidential Material is retained by
ALPHA past such time period, the obligations stated in this Section 5 shall survive until the earliest of the following occur: (i) Confidential Material has
become available to the general public through no fault of ALPHA; or (ii) Confidential Material is received by ALPHA from others who are in lawful
possession of such and who by such disclosure are not breaching any obligation to CLIENT.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any confidential information supplied by ALPHA to CLIENT, as well as any ALPHA Intellectual Property (collectively,
“ALPHA Confidential Information”), embody proprietary technology and valuable trade secrets of ALPHA, which are vital to the business of ALPHA, and
whose value depends upon them not being generally known. CLIENT shall hold the ALPHA Confidential Information in strict confidence and take all
necessary steps to ensure that access to any portion of the ALPHA Confidential Information is not provided to any person or entity other than CLIENT
without the express written permission of ALPHA. CLIENT expressly agrees that if the ALPHA Confidential Information is improperly disclosed ALPHA
will be irreparably damaged. In such event, ALPHA shall be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies,
including injunctive relief, with respect any breach(es) of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity. In addition,
CLIENT’s officers, directors, employees and affiliates will protect the confidentiality of the ALPHA Confidential Information with the same degree of care
as CLIENT affords its own confidential information (but in no event less than the degree of care that would be taken by a reasonable person), and shall not
disclose such information to any third party; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to information that (a) is now or hereafter becomes
publicly known due to no fault of CLIENT or (b) is disclosed to CLIENT by a third party without any breach of an obligation of confidentiality.
Section 7: Sample Disposal
Samples of soil, rock, water, waste or other materials contaminated by hazardous substances, including asbestos, obtained from the Project site are and
remain the property of the CLIENT. ALPHA shall retain such samples for no longer than fourteen (14) calendar days after the issuance of any document that
includes the data obtained from them, unless other arrangements are mutually agreed upon in writing. It is CLIENT’s responsibility to select and arrange for
lawful disposal procedures that encompass removing the contaminated samples from ALPHA’s custody and transporting them to a suitable disposal site.
Accordingly, unless CLIENT indicates otherwise within the fourteen (14) day period referenced above, CLIENT hereby instructs ALPHA to make
arrangements, as CLIENT’s agent and at CLIENT’s cost, for proper transportation and disposal of contaminated samples with appropriate licensed parties.
Due to the risks to which ALPHA may be exposed during transportation and disposal of contaminated samples, CLIENT waives any claim against ALPHA,
and shall defend, indemnify, and hold ALPHA harmless from any claim or liability for injury or loss, including costs of defense and attorneys’ fees, arising
from ALPHA’s service as CLIENT’s agent in arranging for proper transportation and disposal of contaminated samples. There are extra costs involved in
this disposal by ALPHA of samples contaminated with highly toxic and/or hazardous substances (i.e. PCBs, Dioxins, Cyanide, Pesticides, etc.). In this case,
the CLIENT shall pre-pay all transportation and disposal costs or ALPHA will return the samples to the project site for proper disposal by the Client.
Section 8: Construction Monitoring
ALPHA shall have no authority to reject or terminate the work of any agent or contractor of CLIENT. No action, statements, or communications of ALPHA,
or ALPHA’s site representative, can be construed as modifying any agreement between CLIENT and others. ALPHA’s presence on the Project site in no
way guarantees the completion or quality of the performance of the work of any party retained by CLIENT to provide construction related services. Neither
the professional activities of ALPHA, nor the presence of ALPHA or its employees, representatives, or subcontractors on the Project Site, shall be construed
to impose upon ALPHA any responsibility for methods or quality of work performance, sequencing of construction, or safety conditions at the Project site.
CLIENT acknowledges that CLIENT or its general contractor is solely responsible for job site safety, and warrants and agrees that such responsibility shall
be made evident in the Project owner’s agreement with the general contractor. CLIENT shall make ALPHA an additional insured under any general
contractor’s general liability insurance policy.
In the event ALPHA expressly assumes any health or safety responsibilities for hazardous materials or other items as further set forth in this Agreement, the
acceptance of such responsibility shall not be deemed acceptance of responsibility for any other health or safety requirements, including but not limited to
those responsibilities or requirements relating to excavation, trenching, drilling or back filling.
Section 9: Ownership of Documents
All reports, boring logs, field data, field notes, laboratory test data, calculations, estimates and other documents prepared by ALPHA in connection with this
engagement, shall remain the property of ALPHA. CLIENT agrees that all reports and other material(s) furnished by ALPHA to CLIENT, or to CLIENT’s
agents, for which CLIENT has not paid will be returned to ALPHA upon demand and will not be used by CLIENT or others for any purpose whatsoever.
Unless otherwise required by law, ALPHA will retain all pertinent records relating to the Services performed for a period not exceeding five years following
submission of any report, as referred to herein, during which period the records will be made available to CLIENT at all reasonable times. After such five
year period, ALPHA shall have the right, but not the obligation, to, in its sole discretion, destroy any or all of such documents.
Section 10: Termination
This Agreement may be terminated without cause by either party upon ten (10) days’ written notice by the terminating party. This Agreement may also be
terminated for cause by the non-defaulting party if, after seven (7) days after written notice of a default in the performance of any material provision of this
Agreement, the defaulting party fails to cure or correct such default. In the event of termination, ALPHA will be paid for services performed through the date
of termination, plus reasonable termination expenses, including the cost of completing analysis, records, and reports necessary to document job status at the
time of termination.

Section 11: Risk Allocation and Limitation of Liability
The parties acknowledge that a variety of risks potentially affect ALPHA by virtue of entering into an agreement to perform the Services. The parties further
acknowledge and agree that there is no disparity in bargaining power between the parties.IN ORDER FOR CLIENT TO OBTAIN THE BENEFIT OF
A LOWER FEE THAN WOULD OTHERWISE BE AVAILABLE, CLIENT AGREES TO LIMIT ALPHA’S LIABILITY TO CLIENT, AND TO
ALL OTHER PARTIES, FOR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF ALPHA’S PERFORMANCE AND THE SERVICES. THE TOTAL AGGREGATE
LIABILITY OF ALPHA SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEE FOR THE SERVICES RENDERED ON THE PROJECT, OR $20,000,
WHICHEVER IS LOWER, FOR ANY LIABILITIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO NEGLIGENT PROFESSIONAL ACTS OR
ERRORS OR OMISSIONS, AND CLIENT AGREES TO INDEMNIFY ALPHA FOR ALL LIABILITIES IN EXCESS OF THE MONETARY
LIMITS ESTABLISHED.Client agrees that in no instance shall ALPHA be responsible, in total or in part, for the errors or omissions of any other
professional, contractor, subcontractor or any other third party. Client also agrees that ALPHA shall not be responsible for the means, methods, procedures,
performance, quality or safety of the construction contractors or subcontractors, or for their errors or omissions.
Section 12: Discovery of Unanticipated Hazardous Materials
CLIENT warrants that it has made reasonable efforts to inform ALPHA of known or suspected hazardous materials on or near the Project site. The parties
acknowledge that hazardous materials may exist at a site even if there is no reason to believe they are present. ALPHA and CLIENT agree that the discovery
of such unanticipated hazardous materials constitutes a changed condition that shall require either a re-negotiation of the scope of ALPHA’s Services or
termination of this Agreement without cause. CLIENT recognizes that the discovery of hazardous materials may necessitate immediate protective measures
to safeguard the public health and safety and shall compensate ALPHA for measures that, in ALPHA’s professional opinion, are necessary and justified to
preserve and protect the health and safety of site personnel and the public. CLIENT also shall compensate ALPHA for any equipment decontamination or
other costs incident to the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials. ALPHA shall notify CLIENT as soon as practicable should unexpected hazardous
materials be encountered at the site that pose a threat to human health, safety and the environment. CLIENT agrees that, in the event of the discovery of
hazardous materials at the site, it shall report such discovery to the proper authorities as required by Federal, State, and local regulations. CLIENT agrees to
make the required report at the recommendation of ALPHA, or, if unable to do so, authorizes ALPHA to make such report. CLIENT shall also inform the
Project site owner in the event that hazardous materials are encountered at the site.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, CLIENT waives any claim against ALPHA, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, agrees to
defend, indemnify, and save ALPHA harmless from any claim, liability and/or defense costs for injury or loss arising from the presence of hazardous
materials on the project site, including any costs created by delay of the project and any costs associated with possible reduction of the property’s value.
CLIENT is responsible for ultimate disposal of any samples secured by ALPHA that are found to be contaminated, at CLIENT’s cost.
Section 13: Ground Water Contamination
CLIENT acknowledges that it is impossible for ALPHA to know the exact composition of a site’s subsurface, even after conducting a comprehensive
exploratory program. As a result, there is a risk that drilling and sampling may result in contamination of certain subsurface areas. Although ALPHA will
take reasonable precautions to avoid such an occurrence, CLIENT waives any claim against ALPHA for, and shall defend, indemnify and hold ALPHA
harmless from, any claim or liability for injury or loss which may arise as a result of subsurface contamination caused by drilling, sampling, testing or
monitoring well installation. CLIENT shall also adequately compensate ALPHA for any time spent and expenses incurred in defense of any such claim.
Section 14: Insurance
No insurance carried by ALPHA shall be deemed to limit in any way the responsibility of any contractor or subcontractor for damages resulting from their
services in connection with the Project. CLIENT shall include, or cause to be included, in the Project’s construction contract such requirements for insurance
coverage and performance bonds to be secured and maintained by the Project contractor as CLIENT deems adequate to insure and indemnify CLIENT and
ALPHA against claims for damages, and to insure compliance of work performance and materials with Project requirements.
Section 15: Indemnity
ALPHA and the Client shall each indemnify the other against claims for bodily injury or damage to tangible property resulting from: (a) negligent error,
omission or act of the indemnitor or the indemnitor’s officers, servants, employees or subconsultants in the performance of the work hereunder; or (b)
negligent failure of the indemnitor or the indemnitor’s officers, servants, employees or subconsultants to comply with laws or regulations; or (c) negligent
failure of the indemnitor to perform under any contract with any other party, its, officers, servants, employees, subconsultants or clients. This indemnity
obligation shall survive performance of the services hereunder.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, ALPHA WILL NOT INDEMNIFY CLIENT FOR ITS OWN NEGLIGENCE.
Section 16: Invoices and Payment Terms
In consideration for the performance of the Services, ALPHA shall be paid an amount and according to terms set forth in the Proposal (“Project Cost”);
however, if payment terms are not listed in the Proposal, payment for Services shall be payable within thirty (30) days of ALPHA’s invoice date (the
“Payment Due Date”). All payments must be paid by the Payment Due Date, and shall not be contingent upon CLIENT’s receipt of separate payment,
financing or closing on the project property, or other conditions whatsoever. If CLIENT objects to any portion of an invoice, it shall notify ALPHA in
writing within ten (10) days from the date of actual receipt of the invoice of the amount and nature of the dispute, and shall timely pay undisputed portions of
the invoice. Past due invoices and any sums improperly withheld by CLIENT shall accrue interest thereon at the rate of one percent (1%) per month, or the
maximum rate allowed by law, whichever is lower. CLIENT agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, incurred by
ALPHA should collection proceedings be necessary to collect on Client’s overdue account. Unless the Proposal specifies the Project Cost as not-to-exceed
or lump sum, CLIENT agrees that cost estimates and schedules are based upon ALPHA’s best judgment of Site conditions and other requirements at the
time of Proposal and should be used by CLIENT for planning purposes only. ALPHA will endeavor to perform the Services within the estimates but will
notify CLIENT if estimates are likely to be exceeded. In the event of changed site conditions or other conditions requiring additional time, CLIENT agrees
to pay the reasonable and necessary increases resulting from such additional time.
Unless otherwise specified in the Proposal, CLIENT will be solely responsible for all applicable federal, state or local duty, import, sales, use, business,
occupation, gross receipts or similar tax on the Services, and for any applicable duty, import sales, uses, business, occupation, gross receipts or tax and
shipping charges relating to equipment and repair parts furnished in connection with the Services. In the event ALPHA is required to respond to any
subpoena or provide testimony (as a fact or expert witness) related to the Services, CLIENT shall pay ALPHA for time and expenses in accordance with
ALPHA’s then current fee schedule.

Section 17: Non-Solicitation
During ALPHA’s performance on the Project and for a period of one (1) year after the Project is completed or otherwise terminated for any reason, CLIENT
shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other person, firm, partnership, corporation, or business entity of any type: (i) solicit, assist
or in any way encourage any current employee, contractor or consultant of ALPHA to terminate his or her employment relationship or consulting
relationship with or for ALPHA, nor will CLIENT solicit the services of any former employee or consultant of ALPHA whose service has been terminated
for less than six (6) months, or (ii) solicit to the detriment of ALPHA and/or for the benefit of any competitor of ALPHA, take away or attempt to take away,
in whole or in part, any customer of ALPHA or otherwise interfere with the ALPHA’s relationship with any of its customers. CLIENT understands and
acknowledges that ALPHA’s employees, contractors and consultants are a valuable resource to ALPHA, and often these persons hold confidential and or
trade secret information of ALPHA’s, including proprietary technology and valuable trade secrets of ALPHA, which are vital to the business of ALPHA and
whose value depends upon them not being generally known. CLIENT expressly agrees that, if ALPHA’s employees, contractors, and consultants are
solicited in contravention of this Non-Solicitation provision, that ALPHA will be irreparably damaged. In such event, ALPHA shall be entitled, without
bond, other security, or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect any breach(es) of this Agreement, including injunctive relief, in
addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.
Section 18: Resolution of Disputes
All claims, disputes, controversies or matters in question arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or any breach thereof, including but not limited to disputes
arising out of alleged design defects, breaches of contract, errors, omissions, or acts of professional negligence, (collectively “Disputes”) shall be submitted to
mediation before and as a condition precedent to pursuing any other remedy. Upon written request by either party to this Agreement for mediation of any dispute,
CLIENT and ALPHA shall select a neutral mediator by mutual agreement. Such selection shall be made within ten (10) calendar days of the date of receipt by the
other party of the written request for mediation. In the event of failure to reach such agreement or in any instance when the selected mediator is unable or
unwilling to serve and a replacement mediator cannot be agreed upon by CLIENT and ALPHA within ten (10) calendar days, a mediator shall be chosen as
specified in the Construction Industry Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect, or any other appropriate rules upon which the
parties may agree. Any disputes or controversies not resolved or settled by the parties hereto shall be submitted to arbitration. Demand for arbitration shall be
made by either party within ten (10) calendar days following termination of mediation. The date of termination of mediation shall be the date of written notice of
closing mediation proceedings issued by the mediator to each of the parties. Demand for arbitration shall be made by filing notice of demand, in writing, with the
other party and with the American Arbitration Association, under its Construction Industry Rules. The award rendered, if any, by the arbitrator(s) shall be final
and binding on both parties and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Section, in no event shall a demand for mediation or arbitration be made more than two (2) years from the date of the party making demand
knew or should have known of the dispute or five (5) years from the date of substantial completion of ALPHA’s Services, whichever date shall occur earlier. All
mediation or arbitration shall take place in Dallas County, Texas, unless CLIENT and ALPHA agree otherwise. The fees of the mediator and/or arbitrator(s), the
mediation and/or arbitration filing and proceeding fees, and other costs associated with the mediator or arbitrator(s) shall be apportioned equally between the
parties, subject to, in the case of arbitration, to adjustment by the arbitrator(s) as part of the award. The prevailing party in any arbitration proceeding shall be
entitled to recovery of its reasonable attorneys’ fees from the non-prevailing party, as determined by the arbitrator(s).
Section 19: Governing Law and Survival
The validity of this Agreement, these terms, their interpretation and performance shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of
the State of Texas without regard to its conflict of laws rules or similar principles which would refer to and apply the substantive laws of another jurisdiction, and
applicable international conventions and treaties. The parties hereto hereby consent and agree that venue of any arbitration action shall lie exclusively in Dallas
County, Texas, and the parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts located in Dallas County, Texas to hear and determine any claims,
disputes, or award between the parties arising out of such arbitration, or for any matter found to not arise under the parties’ arbitration agreement. The parties
hereto expressly submit and consent in advance to such jurisdiction and hereby waive any objection to such jurisdiction. If any of the provisions contained in this
agreement are held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be impaired.

RE: Subsurface Utility Engineering
Morse Street
Dear Mr. Wendland:
The Rios Group, Inc. (TRG) is pleased to submit a cost proposal for Subsurface Utility Engineering
(SUE) required for the above referenced project. This proposal is based on information contained in
your email dated May 3, 2018.
Introduction
TRG will perform the SUE work required for this project in general accordance with the
recommended practices and procedures described in ASCE Publication CI/ASCE 38-02 (Standard
Guideline for the Collection and Depiction of Existing Subsurface Utility Data). As described in the
mentioned ASCE publication, four levels have been established to describe the quality of utility
location and attribute information used on plans. The four quality levels are as follows:
Information derived from existing utility records;
-
surveying visible above-ground utility features such as valves, hydrants, meters, manhole
covers, etc.
Quality Level B Two-dimensional (x,y) information obtained through the
application and interpretation of non-destructive surface geophysical methods. Also known
designating
within approximately one foot.
Three dimensional (x,y,z) utility information obtained utilizing
non-destructive vacuum excavation equipment to expose utilities at critical points which are
locating
horizontal and vertical positioning of utilities within approximately 0.05 feet.
It is the responsibility of the SUE provider to perform due-diligence with regard to records research
available utility records. The due-diligence provided for this project
will consist of visually inspecting the work area for evidence of utilities and reviewing the available
utility record information. Utilities that are not identified through these efforts will be here forth

Scope of Work
Based on information provided by Burgess & Niple Inc. (B&N), TRG has developed a preliminary
scope for the SUE work required for this project. The scope of work may be modified, with B&N
concurrence, during the performance of the SUE fieldwork if warranted by actual field findings.
include gas, telecommunications, electric, traffic signals, storm, water and sanitary sewer.
Designating will be performed within the
Five (5
B&N assumed that all
designating marks and test holes will be surveyed as part of this scope.
Any necessary Right-of-Entry (ROE) permits will be provided by B&N prior to the start of TRG
field work.
Designating Procedures
work and available utility records. Once these initial reviews are complete, the field manager and
technicians will begin designating the approximate horizontal position of known subsurface utilities
within the specified project limits. A suite of geophysical equipment (electromagnetic induction,
magnetic) will be used to designate metallic/conductive utilities (e.g. steel pipe, electrical cable,
telephone cable). TRG will establish routine/ordinary traffic control (cones and free standing
signage, etc.) whenever required as part of our standard pricing. If non-routine traffic control
measures are required (barricades, flag person, changeable message board, etc.), these services will
be considered extra.
Accurate collection and recording of designated utilities is a critical component of the SUE process.
TRG utilizes a proven method of collecting and recording survey information once the utilities have
utility as well as relevant surface features such as roadways, buildings, manholes, fire hydrants,
utility pedestals, valves, meters, etc. Each utility will be labeled with a unique ID code. For
example, if two different water lines exist on the project, one will be labeled W1 and the other W2.
Paint and pin flags will be used to designate the utilities in the field. A labeled pin flag or paint
mark will be used to mark each location where a survey shot is required. The locations will be
numbered sequentially for each individual utility line. For example, if there are 10 shots required
on water line W1, the points will be numbered W1-1 through W1-10.
Locating Procedures
TRG will utilize non-destructive vacuum excavation equipment to excavate test holes at the required
locations. Due to the risk of damage, TRG will not attempt to probe or excavate test holes on
any AC water lines unless approval is obtained from the owner in advance. Once each utility is
located, TRG will record the utility type, size, material, depth to top, and general direction. Each
test hole will be assigned a unique ID number and will be marked with a nail/disk. The test-hole ID
number and other pertinent utility information will be painted at each test-hole location.

We have assumed that all test holes will be in areas that are accessible to truck-mounted equipment,
and that routine traffic control (cones and free standing signage, etc.) will be required during the
Deliverables
TRG will produce a utility file, in AutoCAD format, depicting the type and horizontal location of the
designated utilities. The size of each utility will be presented in the utility file if this information is
indicated on available record drawings. TRG will also provide a summary sheet of the test hole
coordinate data and depth information. B&N will provide TRG with base map/topographic files for
use in preparing the utility file.
Schedule
Field work can commence within approximately 2 weeks after receipt of NTP. TRG estimates that
the work can be completed in approximately 4 weeks.
Proposed Fees
TRG proposes to provide the services as described above for a cost of Sixteen Thousand Eight
Hundred Fifty Dollars & 00/100 ($16,850.00). A breakdown o
this proposal.
Please note that this estimate is based on an assumption of quantities. TRG will only invoice for
quantities actually performed. This is a not-to-exceed amount. If it appears that quantities will be
exceeded, TRG will notify B&N and request authorization to submit a supplemental agreement to
increase the fee prior to proceeding with additional work.
We look forward to working with you on this project. If you have any questions or require additional
information, please contact me.
Sincerely,
The Rios Group, Inc.
