Dispute Resolution. Client shall not be entitled to assert a Claim against Consultant based on any theory of professional negligence unless and until Client has obtained the written opinion from a registered, independent, and reputable engineer, architect, or geologist that Consultant has violated the standard of care applicable to Consultant's performance of the Services. Client shall provide this opinion to Consultant and the parties shall endeavor to resolve the dispute within 30 days, after which Client may pursue its remedies at law. This Agreement shall be govemed by and construed according to Iowa law. 12. Subsurface Explorations. Subsurface conditions throughout the site may vary from those depicted on logs of discrete borings, test pits, or other exploratory services. Client understands Consultant's layout of boring and test locations is approximate and that Consultant may deviate a reasonable distance from those locations. Consultant will take reasonable precautions to reduce damage to the site when performing Services; however, Client accepts that invasive services such as drilling or sampling may damage or alter the site. Site restoration is not provided unless specifically included in the Services. 13. Testing and Observations. Client understands that testing and observation are discrete sampling procedures, and that such procedures indicate conditions only at the depths, locations, and times the procedures were performed. Consultant will provide test results and opinions based on tests and field observations only for the work tested. Client understands that testing and observation are not continuous or exhaustive, and are conducted to reduce - not eliminate - project risk. Client shall cause all tests and inspections of the site, materials, and Services performed by Consultant to be timely and properly scheduled in order for the Services to be performed in accordance with the plans, specifications, contract documents, and Consultant's recommendations. No claims for loss or damage or injury shall be brought against Consultant by Client or any third party unless all tests and inspections have been so performed and Consultant's recommendations have been followed. Unless otherwise stated in the Proposal, Client assumes sole responsibility for determining whether the quantity and the nature of Services ordered by Client is adequate and sufficient for Client's intended purpose. Client is responsible (even If delegated to contractor) for requesting services, and notifying and scheduling Consultant so Consultant can perform these Services. Consultant is not responsible for damages caused by Services not performed due to a failure to request or schedule Consultant's Services. Consultant shall not be responsible for the quality and completeness of Client's contractor's work or their adherence to the project documents, and Consultant's performance of testing and observation services shall not relieve Client's contractor in any way from its responsibility for defects discovered in its work, or create a warranty or guarantee. Consultant will not supervise or direct the work performed by Client's contractor or its subcontractors and is not responsible for their means and methods. The extension of unit prices with quantities to establish a total estimated cost does not guarantee a maximum cost to complete the Services. The quantities, when given, are estimates based on contract documents and schedules made available at the time of the Proposal. Since schedule, performance, production, and charges are directed and/or controlled by others, any quantity extensions must be considered as estimated and not a guarantee of maximum cost. 14. Sample Disposition, Affected Materials, and Indemnity. Samples are consumed in testing or disposed of upon completion of the testing procedures (unless stated otherwise in the Services). Client shall furnish or cause to be fumished to Consultant all documents and information known or available to Client that relate to the identity, location, quantity, nature, or characteristic of any hazardous waste, toxic, radioactive, or contaminated materials ("Affected Materials") at or near the site, and shall immediately transmit new, updated, or revised information as it becomes available. Client agrees that Consultant is not responsible for the disposition of Affected Materials unless specifically provided in the Services, and that Client is responsible for directing such disposition. In no event shall Consultant be required to sign a hazardous waste manifest or take title to any Affected Materials. Client shall have the obligation to make all spill or release notifications to appropriate govemmental agencies. The Client agrees that Consultant neither created nor contributed to the creation or existence of any Affected Materials conditions at the site and Consultant shall not be responsible for any claims, losses, or damages allegedly arising out of Consultant's performance of Services hereunder, or for any claims against Consultant as a generator, disposer, or arranger of Affected Materials under federal, state, or local law or ordinance. 15. Ownership of Documents. Work product, such as reports, logs, data, notes, or calculations, prepared by Consultant shall remain Consultant's property. Proprietary concepts, systems, and ideas developed during performance of the Services shall remain the sole property of Consultant. Files shall be maintained in general accordance with Consultant's document retention policies and practices. 16. Utilities. Client shall provide the location and/or arrange for the marking of private utilities and subterranean structures. Consultant shall take reasonable precautions to avoid damage or injury to subterranean structures or utilities. Consultant shall not be responsible for damage to subterranean structures or utilities that are not called to Consultant's attention, are not correctly marked, including by a utility locate service, or are incorrectly shown on the plans fumished to Consultant. 17. Site Access and Safety. Client shall secure all necessary site related approvals, permits, licenses, and consents necessary to commence and complete the Services and will execute any necessary site access agreement. Consultant will be responsible for supervision and site safety measures for its own employees, but shall not be responsible for the supervision or health and safety precautions for any other parties, including Client, Client's contractors, subcontractors, or other parties present at the site.

Waterloo, Iowa March 4, 2018 • Terracon Proposal No. P13185119 EXHIBIT A - PROJECT UNDERSTANDING lierracon Our Scope of Services is based on our understanding of the project as described by City of Waterloo and the expected subsurface conditions as described below. We have visited the project site to confirm the information provided. Aspects of the project, undefined or assumed, are highlighted as shown below. We request the design team verify all information prior to our initiation of field exploration activities. Site Location and Anticipated Conditions item ' ripti . Site Location The project is located on Dysart Road extending from Mills Road to Orange Road in Waterloo, Iowa. Latitude: 42.4326°, Longitude: -92.2979° (See Exhibit D) Existing Improvements Existing Portland cement concrete (PCC) roadway with underground utilities Current Ground Cover PCC pavement Existing Topography Based upon the plans provided by the City of Waterloo, ground elevations at the site range from about 915 feet near Orange Road to about 895 feet near Mills Road. Expected Subsurface Conditions Based upon the Robinson Engineering information on the plans provided, we anticipate the subsurface conditions consist of a few feet of existing fill underlain by cohesive soils with strengths increasing with depth. Planned Construction Project Description Road construction for Dysart Road extending about 2,300 feet from Mills Road to Orange Road is planned. Proposed Construction The existing PCC pavement is planned to be replaced with 10 inches of PCC pavement with dowels over 6 to 8 inches of aggregate subbase. The new pavement will be along the same or similar horizontal and vertical alignments. Responsive • Resourceful • Reliable EXHIBIT A -PROJECT UNDERSTANDING 1 of 1 Proposal for Geotechnical Engineering Services Dysart Road Reconstruction r Waterloo, Iowa March 4, 2018 Terracon Proposal No. P13185119 EXHIBIT B - SCOPE OF SERVICES lierracon Our proposed Scope of Services consists of field exploration, laboratory testing, and engineering/project delivery. These services are described in the following sections. Field Exploration Number of Bo nc 4 Planned Boring; Depth: (feet) 10 or auger refusal 1. Below ground surface. Planned Locatuon Dysart Road Boring Layout: Terracon determines the boring locations in the field using the site plan provided by the client. Distances from existing site features are measured using a tape or measuring wheel, while right angles are estimated. We also use handheld GPS equipment in the field to determine the latitude and longitude of the borings. Our GPS equipment has a minimum horizontal accuracy of about 20 feet. The locations of the borings should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by these methods. If more accurate boring locations are desired, we suggest a land surveying firm stake the boring locations and provide surface elevations at the boring locations to us. Subsurface Exploration Procedures: We advance the borings with a rotary drill rig using continuous flight augers. After penetrating the existing pavement with the auger, the pavement thickness will be measured with a tape. Soil sampling is performed using a split barrel sampler at intervals of 2.5 feet in the upper 10 feet of each boring. Bulk samples may also be obtained from the flight of the augers. In the split -barrel sampling procedure, a standard 2 -inch outer diameter split -barrel sampling spoon is driven into the ground by a 140 -pound automatic hammer falling a distance of 30 inches. The number of blows required to advance the sampling spoon the last 12 inches of a normal 18 -inch penetration is recorded as the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) resistance value. The SPT values, also referred to as N -values, are indicated on the boring logs at the test interval depths. We observe and record groundwater levels during and after drilling and sampling. Boreholes will backfilled upon completion and the pavement patched with commercially -available, pre -mixed cold patch asphalt. Terracon's exploration team prepares field boring logs as part of standard drilling operations. The field logs include sampling interval depths, penetration resistances, and other relevant drilling and sampling information. Our field logs also include visual descriptions of materials encountered during drilling and the drill crew's interpretation of subsurface conditions between samples. The samples are placed in appropriate containers and transported to our laboratory for further testing and classification. Responsive • Resourceful • Reliable EXHIBIT B -SCOPE OF SERVICES 1 of 4 Proposal for Geotechnical Engineering Services Dysart Road Reconstruction LI Waterloo, Iowa March 4, 2018 • Terracon Proposal No. P13185119 lierracon Our engineering staff and the drill crew communicate during the exploration. If the soil conditions encountered appear to be unfavorable or marginal, we modify our subsurface exploration while we are on site. If additional fees apply, we contact the client for authorization, prior to performing any additional services. Site Access and Property Disturbance: We considered that the site and boring locations can be accessed using our ATV -mounted equipment. Terracon personnel will take reasonable measures to limit the amount of damage to the property. However, some damage to pavements, rutting of the ground surface, and/or damage to landscape could occur. Please note that our scope of services and fee do not include services associated with site clearing, wet ground conditions, or reparations to, or for, damage to existing landscape. If such services are desired by the owner/client, we should be notified so we can adjust our scope of services. It is important that Terracon be granted access to the site (or legal right of entry) by the property owner. Please notify Terracon if arrangements have not been made for subsurface exploration on the property. At least 3 days advanced notice will be provided to the City of Waterloo of our intent to notify Iowa One Call and perform the subsurface exploration. We will backfill borings with auger cuttings upon completion. Pavements will be patched with ready mixed concrete. Our services do not include repair of the site beyond backfilling our boreholes, and cold patching existing pavements. Excess auger cuttings will be dispersed in the general vicinity of the borehole. Because backfill material often settles below the surface after a period, we recommend boreholes to be periodically checked and backfilled, if necessary. We can provide this service, or grout the boreholes for additional fees, at your request. Safety: Terracon is currently not aware of environmental concerns at this project site that would create health or safety hazards associated with our field exploration program. Thus, the estimated fee includes our exploration team using standard Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) for geotechnical drilling including hard hats, safety glasses, hearing protection, high visibility vests, and steel -toed boots. Our scope of services does not include environmental site assessment services, but identification of unusual or unnatural materials encountered while drilling and/or sampling will be noted on our logs and discussed in our report. For the purpose of preparing our cost estimate, we considered that a right-of-way permit will be required to perform this work in the City of Waterloo and traffic control, consisting of signs and flagmen to allow one lane of the roadway to remain open, will be provided by Terracon. Terracon notifies Iowa One Call to request location and marking of public utilities at least 48 hours prior to performing borings/excavations. We consult with the owner/client regarding potential private utilities, or other underground hazards. Based on the results of this consultation, we consider the need for alternative subsurface exploration methods, as the safety of our exploration team members is a priority. Responsive • Resourceful • Reliable EXHIBIT B- SCOPE OF SERVICES 2 of 4 Proposal for Geotechnical Engineering Services Dysart Road Reconstruction u Waterloo, Iowa March 4, 2018 Li Terracon Proposal No. P13185119 lierracon Private utilities should be marked by the owner/client prior to commencement of subsurface exploration. Terracon will not be responsible for damage to utilities that are incorrectly marked or not made aware to us. The detection of underground utilities is dependent upon the composition and construction of the utility line; some utilities are comprised of non -electrically conductive materials and may not be readily detected. The use of a private utility locate service would not relieve the owner of their responsibilities in identifying private underground utilities. If there are any site restrictions or special site and/or exploration requirements, these should be made known to Terracon prior to commencement of field services. Laboratory Testing The project engineer will review field data and assign laboratory tests to aid in the evaluation of the engineering properties of various soil strata. Exact types and number of tests cannot be defined until completion of field work. The laboratory testing program may include the following: • Water Content • Atterberg limits Ea Standard `proctor' • Organic content Our laboratory testing program also includes observation of recovered soil samples by an engineer and/or a geologist. Based on the texture and plasticity of the soil, we describe and classify samples in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). Samples recovered during the subsurface exploration will be retained in our office for a period of 60 days after submittal of our geotechnical engineering report so that additional testing can be performed upon request. Engineering and Project Delivery Results of the field and laboratory programs are evaluated by a civil/geotechnical engineer licensed by the State of Iowa. The engineer develops a geotechnical site characterization, performs the engineering calculations necessary to evaluate foundation alternatives, and develops appropriate geotechnical engineering design criteria for earth -related phases of the project. Your project is delivered using our GeoReport system. Upon initiation, we provide you and your design team the necessary link and password to access the website (if not previously registered). Each project includes a calendar to track the schedule, an interactive site map, a listing of team members, access to the project documents as they are uploaded to the site, and a collaboration portal. A typical delivery process includes three basic stages: Responsive ■ Resource.fffl • Reliable EXHIBIT B -SCOPE OF SERVICES 3 of 4 Proposal for Geotechnical Engineering Services Dysart Road Reconstruction a Waterloo, Iowa March 4, 2018 a Terracon Proposal No. P13185119 • Project Planning ■ Site Characterization (Soil, Groundwater, and Lab Results) a Geotechnical Engineering lierracon When utilized, a collaboration portal documents communication, eliminating the need for long email threads. This collaborative effort allows prompt evaluation and discussion of options related to the design and associated benefits and risks of each option. With the ability to inform all parties as the work progresses, decisions and consensus can be reached faster. In some cases, only minimal uploads and collaboration will be required, because options for design and construction are limited or unnecessary. This is typically the case for uncomplicated projects with no anomalies found at the site. When services are complete, we upload a 'pdf' file of the geotechnical engineering report, including the geotechnical engineer's seal and signature, which documents our services. Previous submittals, collaboration, and the report are maintained in our system. This allows future reference and integration into subsequent aspects of our services, as the project goes through final design and construction.
