PROJECT DESCRIPTION 
 
The Property is developed with the City of El Mirage City Hall. The Property is described by 
the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office as Parcel No. 501‐45‐019M. The City Hall is a two‐
story structure, approximately 21,700 square feet in size, with an estimated construction 
date of 1991. This asbestos survey will be limited to materials directly associated with the 
City Hall structure, materials associated with the surrounding parking lot, landscaping areas, 
or walkways areas will not be included. 
 
2.0 
PURPOSE 
 
 
The purpose of this Project is to report the location, condition, and quantity of asbestos 
containing materials (ACM) identified in the structure on the Property. 
 
3.0    SCOPE OF SERVICES 
 
The asbestos survey will generally follow the sampling guidelines of the Asbestos Hazard 
Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) as established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency 
(USEPA). 
 
3.1    Asbestos Inspection and Sampling 
 
WT will assign USEPA‐accredited asbestos inspectors to perform the building inspection and 
collect samples. The inspectors will identify suspect ACMs and record their location using 
functional  space  designations  for  the  rooms  within  the  structure.  The  friability  and 
condition of each suspect ACM will be evaluated by the inspectors using visual observation 
and physical contact with the materials. WT will estimate the quantity of the identified 
suspect ACMs in square feet except for thermal system insulation, which will be expressed

City of El Mirage, Public Works Department

in linear feet. 
 
Friable surfacing materials will be randomly sampled according to the quantity of material 
following the 3/5/7 rule, and other materials will be sampled at least three times. 
 
For this project, we have budgeted for collection of 87 samples. The collected samples will 
be  documented  with  a  chain‐of‐custody  record.  The  presence  of  asbestos  in  suspect 
materials may be assumed or presumed in some cases without bulk samples being taken 
or  analyzed  if  sampling  would  result  in  objectionable  damage  to  surfaces  or  where 
institutional barriers preclude access. 
 
  
WT will record our observations on field forms to describe the suspect ACMs, give their 
location by functional space, indicate the friability and the condition of each suspect ACM, 
estimate the approximate quantity of each material, and document the locations of the 
collected samples. 
 
3.2    Microscopic Analysis 
 
The collected samples will be submitted to an analytical laboratory for microscopic analysis 
using  polarized  light  microscopy  (PLM)  methods  for  asbestos.  Samples  with  a  visual 
estimation of less than or equal to 1% asbestos will automatically undergo a point count 
analysis. A single vinyl floor tile sample, from each type of vinyl floor tile, with a visual 
estimation  of  less  than  or  equal  to  1%  asbestos  will  undergo  further  analysis  using 
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods of asbestos. The selected laboratory will 
be a participant in the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). The 
standard analytical turnaround time is 1 to 3 days. 
 
Materials  with  one  sample  that  exhibits  a  result  of  greater  than  1%  asbestos  will  be 
considered an ACM. Materials with all samples reported as “no asbestos detected” will be 
considered non‐asbestos containing. 
 
 
3.3    Data Evaluation 
 
Once the test results are available, WT will evaluate the information obtained during the 
survey to: 
 
 
   
• 
Identify the ACMs from the test results, 
 
 
   
• 
Describe each ACM as friable or non‐friable, 
 
 
   
• 
Categorize  each  ACM  as  a  surfacing  material,  thermal  system  insulation,  or  as 
miscellaneous material, 
 
 
   
• 
Categorize each ACM as Regulated ACM (RACM), Category I Non‐Friable Material 
(CAT I) or Category II Non‐Friable Material (CAT II), and

City of El Mirage, Public Works Department 
October 27, 2020 
Ref. No. 2180PC449 
Page 3 
 
 
   
• 
Indicate the class of work for abatement of the identified ACMs as established by 
OSHA. 
 
3. 4    Summary Report 
 
WT  will  provide  a  draft  report,  in  portable  document  format  (PDF),  describing  the 
inspection  methods,  listing  the  ACMs  identified  from  the  results,  indicating  the  OSHA 
classifications and NESHAP categories of the ACMs, and giving the location, condition, and 
quantity of these materials. The report will include supporting documentation such as site 
drawings,  pictures,  bulk  asbestos  analytical  reports,  field  forms,  and  chain‐of‐custody 
records. The draft report may complete the agreed scope of services, or WT can finalize the 
report following Client review and comment. WT will also provide tables, in Microsoft Excel 
format (XLS), of homogenous materials by function space and figures, in Microsoft Word 
format (DOC), of functional space and ACM location diagrams. 
 
4.0    SCHEDULE 
 
 
WT  will  initiate  these  services  after  receipt  of  authorization  to  proceed.  Work  will  be 
conducted Monday through Thursday after 5 pm or during normal business hours on Friday. 
The Client will provide WT with  structure access and, if necessary, adequate escorts to

submitted by June 30, 2021. 
 
5.0 
STIPULATIONS 
 
The following stipulations were made by WT in establishing the work scope and costs for this 
project: 
 
•  Variable Sample Quantities – There is no way to accurately predict the number of 
samples  which  will  be  necessary  for  a  survey.  The  actual  number  of  samples  will 
depend on the total number of homogeneous materials and periods of construction 
actually identified within the survey area. 
 
•  Hidden or Obscured Materials – Suspect materials that are hidden or obscured from view 
may not be identified during normal survey procedures, and as a result, may not be 
sampled. 
 
•  Damage  from  Sampling  –  Sampling methods will  result in  some  disturbance and/or 
damage to building materials. This Proposal/Agreement does not contain provisions for 
the  repair  of  such  disturbance  and/or  damage.  Client  acknowledges  that  WT  is  not 
responsible for the repair of damage from sampling. Client will provide a certified roofing 
subcontractor to make repairs after WT has sampled roofing materials. 
 
•  Special Equipment – The Property is readily accessible to inspectors, and there is safe 
access to all areas of the building on the Property. Special equipment required for access 
to parts of the building, such as scaffolding, man lifts, platforms, or other equipment, will

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The Agreement between Western Technologies Inc. (“WT”) and Client shall 
include and be subject to WT’s Proposal and these Standard Terms and 
Conditions. The terms of the Agreement shall prevail over any different or 
additional terms contained in any document to which WT’s work relates. WT’s 
commencement of work shall constitute Client’s acceptance of the Agreement.
1. SERVICES
1.1	 WT agrees to render such services requested in writing by Client that are 
stated in the Scope of Services or similar written agreement. WT shall have no 
responsibility to perform services beyond such requests, and none shall be 
imputed or implied.
1.2	 The services rendered by WT are for the benefit of Client alone and relate 
only to conditions observed at specified locations at the time WT’s work is 
performed. There are no intended third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement, 
and nothing herein shall create a contractual relationship with or claim or cause 
of action in favor of a third party against WT.
1.3	 The presence of WT’s field technicians or representatives, if called for in 
the Agreement, is for the provision of services hereunder, and does not include 
supervision or direction of the work of Client or its subcontractors. Neither the 
presence of, nor any observation or testing by WT personnel shall excuse Client 
or its subcontractors from any deficiencies in their work.
1.4	 When performing its work, WT will take reasonable precautions to avoid 
damage or injury to subterranean structures or utilities. Client shall indemnify, 
defend, and hold WT harmless from and against any damages to such structures 
and utilities that are not called to WT’s attention and correctly shown on the 
plans furnished to WT. It is Client’s obligation to contact appropriate utility 
companies and/or private utility locators for information regarding buried 
utilities, mark such utilities, and take other precautions to prevent damage 
or injury.
1.5	 Client agrees that if Client commences litigation, mediation, arbitration, 
or any such proceeding against WT, WT shall have the right to withdraw and 
terminate ongoing work and services conducted for Client on any contract and 
project, in which event Client shall pay WT for work and services performed up 
to the time of termination.
2. PAYMENT
2.1	 WT will invoice Client monthly for services performed. Client shall pay 
such invoices upon receipt without deduction for retention or offset. Failure 
to pay within 60 days of invoice shall operate to release WT from any and 
all claims that Client may have; Client further shall have no right to use or 
rely on any report prepared by WT, and shall return all such reporting to 
WT. Furthermore, WT shall have the right to immediately terminate and cease 
performance of all services then being performed for Client on any contract 
and project until all amounts owed are received by WT. Interest shall accrue on 
the unpaid balance of any invoice not paid in full within 30 days at the rate of 
1.5% per month. Collection agency fees, attorneys’ fees, and associated costs 
that are incurred by WT to collect past-due invoices (including post-judgment 
fees and costs) shall be payable by Client.
2.2	 Estimates of fees are only estimates and shall not be regarded as “lump 
sum” or “fixed price” or “guaranteed maximum” compensation. Client remains 
obligated to pay WT’s invoices for actual work performed, whether or not the 
fee estimate is exceeded. For work requested by Client that is additional to or 
outside the written Scope of Services and/or written service request, Client 
shall sign such documentation requesting such work or services and process 
and pay WT’s invoices.
3. STANDARD OF CARE
3.1	 The services referred to herein will be performed in accordance with 
the general standard of care practiced locally by providers of such services, 
and relate only to the conditions observed or samples tested at the time and 
place reported. WT makes and intends no other warranty or representation, 
express or implied. WT shall not be responsible for any consequences due 
to changed conditions or for the failure of any person or entity to perform or 
install work in accordance with the plans and specifications.
3.2	 Soil, subsurface, and groundwater conditions can vary between and 
among sampling points and with time. WT makes no representation that the 
points selected for sampling are in any way representative of the entire site or 
project. Unless circumstances have changed justifying an earlier expiration 
of validity, geotechnical and earthwork reports are valid for a period of one 
year from the date of issuance; all other reports, including Phase I reports, 
are valid for a period of 180 days from the date of issuance.
3.3	 Where WT’s services involve geotechnical evaluations or field observation 
of earthwork, grading, filling, or compaction, Client agrees:
3.3.1	 WT is not responsible for the manner in which such work is performed;
3.3.2	 WT is not responsible for any work performed at any time when WT was 
not physically present and observing that specific work; and
3.3.3	 For continuous observations, Client shall not allow grading, filling, or 
compaction to be performed at any time that WT is not physically present at 
the site, and shall restrict the amount and extent of such grading, filling and 
compaction to that which can be observed by WT at the site.
3.4	 WT has no right, duty, or obligation to stop Client’s or any of Client’s 
subcontractor’s work.
3.5	 Client agrees and acknowledges that WT makes no recommendation or 
opinion other than those set forth in writing and contained in WT’s reporting; 
WT makes no oral recommendations or opinions. Field and lab technicians are 
not engineers. Client acknowledges and agrees that it has no right to rely on, 
and that there will be no, express or implied recommendations or opinions of 
any sort from field or lab technicians.
3.6	 Client is obligated to, and shall, directly and specifically notify WT as and 
when Client wants WT to perform services hereunder. WT shall be subject 
to no implied duties to observe or test, or to provide reports, other than the 
actual observation, testing, and reporting performed.
3.7	 “Certification” means and implies the expression of professional opinion. 
It is not a warranty or guaranty.
4. INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE
4.1	 NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT, 
WT PROVIDES NO INDEMNITY, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, 
TO CLIENT OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY.
4.2	 Client shall be adequately insured. Client and its insurers jointly and 
severally waive subrogation against WT and its insurers.
5. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
Client and WT recognize the relative risks and benefits of this Agreement, and 
agree to the fair allocation of risk between them as follows:
5.1	 NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WT’S 
TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY, INCLUDING CLIENT, ON 
ANY CLAIM, ACTION OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND OR BASIS WHATSOEVER, IN ANY 
MANNER ARISING OUT OF THE WORK DONE BY WT SHALL BE STRICTLY LIMITED TO 
THE GREATER OF $50,000 OR THE FEE CHARGED FOR WT’S SERVICES HEREUNDER.
5.2	 WT shall not be liable for loss of profit, delay, or for any special, 
incidental, indirect, or consequential damages of any kind, nature or 
description, from any cause whatsoever.
5.3	 No proceeding, action or claim of any kind whatsoever, whether in law 
or equity, may be brought against WT regarding any work performed by WT, 
more than four years after the cessation of WT’s work.
5.4	 EXCEPT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES THAT SPECIFICALLY INCLUDE AN 
INDOOR MOLD SURVEY, NO ACTION OR CLAIM OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER MAY 
BE BROUGHT AGAINST WT ARISING OUT OF THE PRESENCE OR EXISTENCE OF 
MOLD. ALL SUCH ACTIONS ARE ABSOLUTELY BARRED AND CLIENT ABSOLUTELY AND 
IRREVOCABLY RELEASES WT FROM ALL SUCH CLAIMS AND LIABILITIES.
5.5	 No officer, director, principal, employee, or agent of WT shall ever be 
personally sued, joined, liable, or responsible regarding any claim whatsoever.
ALL SUCH ACTIONS ARE ABSOLUTELY BARRED AND CLIENT ABSOLUTELY AND 
IRREVOCABLY RELEASES SUCH INDIVIDUALS FROM ALL ACTIONS, CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, 
AND RESPONSIBILITY.
6. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND OTHER SITE CONDITIONS

PROJECT DESCRIPTION 
 
The Property is developed with a City of El Mirage Customer Service facility. The Property 
is described by the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office as  Parcel No.  501‐29‐032A.  The 
Customer Service facility is a single‐story structure, approximately 2,100 square feet in size, 
with  an  estimated  construction  date  of  1991.  This  asbestos  survey  will  be  limited  to 
materials directly associated with the Customer Service structure, materials associated with 
the surrounding parking lot, landscaping areas, or walkways areas will not be included. 
 
2.0 
PURPOSE 
 
 
The purpose of this Project is to report the location, condition, and quantity of asbestos 
containing materials (ACM) identified in the structure on the Property. 
 
3.0    SCOPE OF SERVICES 
 
The asbestos survey will generally follow the sampling guidelines of the Asbestos Hazard 
Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) as established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency 
(USEPA). 
 
3.1    Asbestos Inspection and Sampling 
 
WT will assign USEPA‐accredited asbestos inspectors to perform the building inspection and 
collect samples. The inspectors will identify suspect ACMs and record their location using 
functional  space  designations  for  the  rooms  within  the  structure.  The  friability  and 
condition of each suspect ACM will be evaluated by the inspectors using visual observation 
and physical contact with the materials. WT will estimate the quantity of the identified 
suspect ACMs in square feet except for thermal system insulation, which will be expressed

City of El Mirage, Public Works Department 
October 27, 2020 
Ref. No. 2180PC450 
Page 2 
 
in linear feet. 
 
Friable surfacing materials will be randomly sampled according to the quantity of material 
following the 3/5/7 rule, and other materials will be sampled at least three times. 
 
For this project, we have budgeted for collection of 108 samples. The collected samples will 
be  documented  with  a  chain‐of‐custody  record.  The  presence  of  asbestos  in  suspect 
materials may be assumed or presumed in some cases without bulk samples being taken 
or  analyzed  if  sampling  would  result  in  objectionable  damage  to  surfaces  or  where 
institutional barriers preclude access. 
 
  
WT will record our observations on field forms to describe the suspect ACMs, give their 
location by functional space, indicate the friability and the condition of each suspect ACM, 
estimate the approximate quantity of each material, and document the locations of the 
collected samples. 
 
3.2    Microscopic Analysis 
 
The collected samples will be submitted to an analytical laboratory for microscopic analysis 
using  polarized  light  microscopy  (PLM)  methods  for  asbestos.  Samples  with  a  visual 
estimation of less than or equal to 1% asbestos will automatically undergo a point count 
analysis. A single vinyl floor tile sample, from each type of vinyl floor tile, with a visual 
estimation  of  less  than  or  equal  to  1%  asbestos  will  undergo  further  analysis  using 
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods of asbestos. The selected laboratory will 
be a participant in the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). The 
standard analytical turnaround time is 1 to 3 days. 
 
Materials  with  one  sample  that  exhibits  a  result  of  greater  than  1%  asbestos  will  be 
considered an ACM. Materials with all samples reported as “no asbestos detected” will be 
considered non‐asbestos containing. 
 
 
3.3    Data Evaluation 
 
Once the test results are available, WT will evaluate the information obtained during the 
survey to: 
 
 
   
• 
Identify the ACMs from the test results, 
 
 
   
• 
Describe each ACM as friable or non‐friable, 
 
 
   
• 
Categorize  each  ACM  as  a  surfacing  material,  thermal  system  insulation,  or  as 
miscellaneous material, 
 
 
   
• 
Categorize each ACM as Regulated ACM (RACM), Category I Non‐Friable Material 
(CAT I) or Category II Non‐Friable Material (CAT II), and

City of El Mirage, Public Works Department 
October 27, 2020 
Ref. No. 2180PC450 
Page 3 
 
 
   
• 
Indicate the class of work for abatement of the identified ACMs as established by 
OSHA. 
 
3. 4    Summary Report 
 
WT  will  provide  a  draft  report,  in  portable  document  format  (PDF),  describing  the 
inspection  methods,  listing  the  ACMs  identified  from  the  results,  indicating  the  OSHA 
classifications and NESHAP categories of the ACMs, and giving the location, condition, and 
quantity of these materials. The report will include supporting documentation such as site 
drawings,  pictures,  bulk  asbestos  analytical  reports,  field  forms,  and  chain‐of‐custody 
records. The draft report may complete the agreed scope of services, or WT can finalize the 
report following Client review and comment. WT will also provide tables, in Microsoft Excel 
format (XLS), of homogenous materials by function space and figures, in Microsoft Word 
format (DOC), of functional space and ACM location diagrams. 
 
4.0    SCHEDULE 
 
 
WT  will  initiate  these  services  after  receipt  of  authorization  to  proceed.  Work  will  be 
conducted Monday through Thursday after 5 pm or during normal business hours on Friday. 
The Client will provide WT with  structure access and, if necessary, adequate escorts to 
complete the survey in a timely manner. All invoices and final reports will be completed and 
submitted by June 30, 2021. 
 
5.0 
STIPULATIONS 
 
The following stipulations were made by WT in establishing the work scope and costs for this 
project: 
 
•  Variable Sample Quantities – There is no way to accurately predict the number of 
samples  which  will  be  necessary  for  a  survey.  The  actual  number  of  samples  will 
depend on the total number of homogeneous materials and periods of construction 
actually identified within the survey area. 
 
•  Hidden or Obscured Materials – Suspect materials that are hidden or obscured from view 
may not be identified during normal survey procedures, and as a result, may not be 
sampled. 
 
•  Damage  from  Sampling  –  Sampling methods will  result in  some  disturbance and/or 
damage to building materials. This Proposal/Agreement does not contain provisions for 
the  repair  of  such  disturbance  and/or  damage.  Client  acknowledges  that  WT  is  not 
responsible for the repair of damage from sampling. Client will provide a certified roofing 
subcontractor to make repairs after WT has sampled roofing materials. 
 
•  Special Equipment – The Property is readily accessible to inspectors, and there is safe 
access to all areas of the building on the Property. Special equipment required for access 
to parts of the building, such as scaffolding, man lifts, platforms, or other equipment, will

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The Agreement between Western Technologies Inc. (“WT”) and Client shall 
include and be subject to WT’s Proposal and these Standard Terms and 
Conditions. The terms of the Agreement shall prevail over any different or 
additional terms contained in any document to which WT’s work relates. WT’s 
commencement of work shall constitute Client’s acceptance of the Agreement.
1. SERVICES
1.1	 WT agrees to render such services requested in writing by Client that are 
stated in the Scope of Services or similar written agreement. WT shall have no 
responsibility to perform services beyond such requests, and none shall be 
imputed or implied.
1.2	 The services rendered by WT are for the benefit of Client alone and relate 
only to conditions observed at specified locations at the time WT’s work is 
performed. There are no intended third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement, 
and nothing herein shall create a contractual relationship with or claim or cause 
of action in favor of a third party against WT.
1.3	 The presence of WT’s field technicians or representatives, if called for in 
the Agreement, is for the provision of services hereunder, and does not include 
supervision or direction of the work of Client or its subcontractors. Neither the 
presence of, nor any observation or testing by WT personnel shall excuse Client 
or its subcontractors from any deficiencies in their work.
1.4	 When performing its work, WT will take reasonable precautions to avoid 
damage or injury to subterranean structures or utilities. Client shall indemnify, 
defend, and hold WT harmless from and against any damages to such structures 
and utilities that are not called to WT’s attention and correctly shown on the 
plans furnished to WT. It is Client’s obligation to contact appropriate utility 
companies and/or private utility locators for information regarding buried 
utilities, mark such utilities, and take other precautions to prevent damage 
or injury.
1.5	 Client agrees that if Client commences litigation, mediation, arbitration, 
or any such proceeding against WT, WT shall have the right to withdraw and 
terminate ongoing work and services conducted for Client on any contract and 
project, in which event Client shall pay WT for work and services performed up 
to the time of termination.
2. PAYMENT
2.1	 WT will invoice Client monthly for services performed. Client shall pay 
such invoices upon receipt without deduction for retention or offset. Failure 
to pay within 60 days of invoice shall operate to release WT from any and 
all claims that Client may have; Client further shall have no right to use or 
rely on any report prepared by WT, and shall return all such reporting to 
WT. Furthermore, WT shall have the right to immediately terminate and cease 
performance of all services then being performed for Client on any contract 
and project until all amounts owed are received by WT. Interest shall accrue on 
the unpaid balance of any invoice not paid in full within 30 days at the rate of 
1.5% per month. Collection agency fees, attorneys’ fees, and associated costs 
that are incurred by WT to collect past-due invoices (including post-judgment 
fees and costs) shall be payable by Client.
2.2	 Estimates of fees are only estimates and shall not be regarded as “lump 
sum” or “fixed price” or “guaranteed maximum” compensation. Client remains 
obligated to pay WT’s invoices for actual work performed, whether or not the 
fee estimate is exceeded. For work requested by Client that is additional to or 
outside the written Scope of Services and/or written service request, Client 
shall sign such documentation requesting such work or services and process 
and pay WT’s invoices.
3. STANDARD OF CARE
3.1	 The services referred to herein will be performed in accordance with 
the general standard of care practiced locally by providers of such services, 
and relate only to the conditions observed or samples tested at the time and 
place reported. WT makes and intends no other warranty or representation, 
express or implied. WT shall not be responsible for any consequences due 
to changed conditions or for the failure of any person or entity to perform or 
install work in accordance with the plans and specifications.
3.2	 Soil, subsurface, and groundwater conditions can vary between and 
among sampling points and with time. WT makes no representation that the 
points selected for sampling are in any way representative of the entire site or 
project. Unless circumstances have changed justifying an earlier expiration 
of validity, geotechnical and earthwork reports are valid for a period of one 
year from the date of issuance; all other reports, including Phase I reports, 
are valid for a period of 180 days from the date of issuance.
3.3	 Where WT’s services involve geotechnical evaluations or field observation 
of earthwork, grading, filling, or compaction, Client agrees:
3.3.1	 WT is not responsible for the manner in which such work is performed;
3.3.2	 WT is not responsible for any work performed at any time when WT was 
not physically present and observing that specific work; and
3.3.3	 For continuous observations, Client shall not allow grading, filling, or 
compaction to be performed at any time that WT is not physically present at 
the site, and shall restrict the amount and extent of such grading, filling and 
compaction to that which can be observed by WT at the site.
3.4	 WT has no right, duty, or obligation to stop Client’s or any of Client’s 
subcontractor’s work.
3.5	 Client agrees and acknowledges that WT makes no recommendation or 
opinion other than those set forth in writing and contained in WT’s reporting; 
WT makes no oral recommendations or opinions. Field and lab technicians are 
not engineers. Client acknowledges and agrees that it has no right to rely on, 
and that there will be no, express or implied recommendations or opinions of 
any sort from field or lab technicians.
3.6	 Client is obligated to, and shall, directly and specifically notify WT as and 
when Client wants WT to perform services hereunder. WT shall be subject 
to no implied duties to observe or test, or to provide reports, other than the 
actual observation, testing, and reporting performed.
3.7	 “Certification” means and implies the expression of professional opinion. 
It is not a warranty or guaranty.
4. INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE
4.1	 NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT, 
WT PROVIDES NO INDEMNITY, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, 
TO CLIENT OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY.
4.2	 Client shall be adequately insured. Client and its insurers jointly and 
severally waive subrogation against WT and its insurers.
5. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
Client and WT recognize the relative risks and benefits of this Agreement, and 
agree to the fair allocation of risk between them as follows:
5.1	 NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WT’S 
TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY, INCLUDING CLIENT, ON 
ANY CLAIM, ACTION OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND OR BASIS WHATSOEVER, IN ANY 
MANNER ARISING OUT OF THE WORK DONE BY WT SHALL BE STRICTLY LIMITED TO 
THE GREATER OF $50,000 OR THE FEE CHARGED FOR WT’S SERVICES HEREUNDER.
5.2	 WT shall not be liable for loss of profit, delay, or for any special, 
incidental, indirect, or consequential damages of any kind, nature or 
description, from any cause whatsoever.
5.3	 No proceeding, action or claim of any kind whatsoever, whether in law 
or equity, may be brought against WT regarding any work performed by WT, 
more than four years after the cessation of WT’s work.
5.4	 EXCEPT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES THAT SPECIFICALLY INCLUDE AN 
INDOOR MOLD SURVEY, NO ACTION OR CLAIM OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER MAY 
BE BROUGHT AGAINST WT ARISING OUT OF THE PRESENCE OR EXISTENCE OF 
MOLD. ALL SUCH ACTIONS ARE ABSOLUTELY BARRED AND CLIENT ABSOLUTELY AND 
IRREVOCABLY RELEASES WT FROM ALL SUCH CLAIMS AND LIABILITIES.
5.5	 No officer, director, principal, employee, or agent of WT shall ever be 
personally sued, joined, liable, or responsible regarding any claim whatsoever.
ALL SUCH ACTIONS ARE ABSOLUTELY BARRED AND CLIENT ABSOLUTELY AND 
IRREVOCABLY RELEASES SUCH INDIVIDUALS FROM ALL ACTIONS, CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, 
AND RESPONSIBILITY.
6. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND OTHER SITE CONDITIONS
WT does not create, generate, arrange for or transport, dispose, own, or store 
hazardous materials or operate any such facility in the performance of its 
work. Client shall maintain possession of and be responsible for the removal

electronic form or format of such document.
7.4	 Client shall not assign this Agreement, any of WT’s reporting or work 
product, or any legal or equitable claim involving WT, without the prior express 
written consent of WT. Any purported assignment without the prior express 
written consent of WT shall be null and void.
8. TERMINATION
In addition to termination otherwise authorized by law and equity, this 
Agreement may be terminated by either party upon providing written notice 
of termination.
9. WT NOT BOUND
WT shall not be bound by: any provision incorporating by reference any contract 
or term of any contract unless the term or terms incorporated by reference are 
specifically furnished to WT and are expressly agreed to in a writing signed by 
WT; any provision or agreement providing for or imposing liquidated damages 
however described or denominated; any provision waiving any right to a

PROJECT DESCRIPTION 
 
The Property is developed with a City of El Mirage Fire Station. The Property is described by 
the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office as Parcel No. 501‐36‐283F. The Fire Station is a 
single‐story  structure,  approximately  13,500  square  feet  in  size,  with  an  estimated 
construction  date  of  2012.  This  asbestos  survey  will  be  limited  to  materials  directly 
associated  with  the  Fire  Station  structure,  materials  associated  with  the  surrounding 
parking lot, landscaping areas, or walkways areas will not be included. 
 
2.0 
PURPOSE 
 
 
The purpose of this Project is to report the location, condition, and quantity of asbestos 
containing materials (ACM) identified in the structure on the Property. 
 
3.0    SCOPE OF SERVICES 
 
The asbestos survey will generally follow the sampling guidelines of the Asbestos Hazard 
Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) as established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency 
(USEPA). 
 
3.1    Asbestos Inspection and Sampling 
 
WT will assign USEPA‐accredited asbestos inspectors to perform the building inspection and 
collect samples. The inspectors will identify suspect ACMs and record their location using 
functional  space  designations  for  the  rooms  within  the  structure.  The  friability  and 
condition of each suspect ACM will be evaluated by the inspectors using visual observation 
and physical contact with the materials. WT will estimate the quantity of the identified 
suspect ACMs in square feet except for thermal system insulation, which will be expressed

City of El Mirage, Public Works Department 
October 27, 2020 
Ref. No. 2180PC451 
Page 2 
 
in linear feet. 
 
Friable surfacing materials will be randomly sampled according to the quantity of material 
following the 3/5/7 rule, and other materials will be sampled at least three times. 
 
For this project, we have budgeted for collection of 87 samples. The collected samples will 
be  documented  with  a  chain‐of‐custody  record.  The  presence  of  asbestos  in  suspect 
materials may be assumed or presumed in some cases without bulk samples being taken 
or  analyzed  if  sampling  would  result  in  objectionable  damage  to  surfaces  or  where 
institutional barriers preclude access. 
 
  
WT will record our observations on field forms to describe the suspect ACMs, give their 
location by functional space, indicate the friability and the condition of each suspect ACM, 
estimate the approximate quantity of each material, and document the locations of the 
collected samples. 
 
3.2    Microscopic Analysis 
 
The collected samples will be submitted to an analytical laboratory for microscopic analysis 
using  polarized  light  microscopy  (PLM)  methods  for  asbestos.  Samples  with  a  visual 
estimation of less than or equal to 1% asbestos will automatically undergo a point count 
analysis. A single vinyl floor tile sample, from each type of vinyl floor tile, with a visual 
estimation  of  less  than  or  equal  to  1%  asbestos  will  undergo  further  analysis  using 
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods of asbestos. The selected laboratory will 
be a participant in the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). The 
standard analytical turnaround time is 1 to 3 days. 
 
Materials  with  one  sample  that  exhibits  a  result  of  greater  than  1%  asbestos  will  be 
considered an ACM. Materials with all samples reported as “no asbestos detected” will be 
considered non‐asbestos containing. 
 
 
3.3    Data Evaluation 
 
Once the test results are available, WT will evaluate the information obtained during the 
survey to: 
 
 
   
• 
Identify the ACMs from the test results, 
 
 
   
• 
Describe each ACM as friable or non‐friable, 
 
 
   
• 
Categorize  each  ACM  as  a  surfacing  material,  thermal  system  insulation,  or  as 
miscellaneous material, 
 
 
   
• 
Categorize each ACM as Regulated ACM (RACM), Category I Non‐Friable Material 
(CAT I) or Category II Non‐Friable Material (CAT II), and

City of El Mirage, Public Works Department 
October 27, 2020 
Ref. No. 2180PC451 
Page 3 
 
 
   
• 
Indicate the class of work for abatement of the identified ACMs as established by 
OSHA. 
 
3. 4    Summary Report 
 
WT  will  provide  a  draft  report,  in  portable  document  format  (PDF),  describing  the 
inspection  methods,  listing  the  ACMs  identified  from  the  results,  indicating  the  OSHA 
classifications and NESHAP categories of the ACMs, and giving the location, condition, and 
quantity of these materials. The report will include supporting documentation such as site 
drawings,  pictures,  bulk  asbestos  analytical  reports,  field  forms,  and  chain‐of‐custody 
records. The draft report may complete the agreed scope of services, or WT can finalize the 
report following Client review and comment. WT will also provide tables, in Microsoft Excel 
format (XLS), of homogenous materials by function space and figures, in Microsoft Word 
format (DOC), of functional space and ACM location diagrams. 
 
4.0    SCHEDULE 
 
 
WT  will  initiate  these  services  after  receipt  of  authorization  to  proceed.  Work  will  be 
conducted Monday through Thursday after 5 pm or during normal business hours on Friday. 
The Client will provide WT with  structure access and, if necessary, adequate escorts to 
complete the survey in a timely manner. All invoices and final reports will be completed and 
submitted by June 30, 2021. 
 
5.0 
STIPULATIONS 
 
The following stipulations were made by WT in establishing the work scope and costs for this 
project: 
 
•  Variable Sample Quantities – There is no way to accurately predict the number of 
samples  which  will  be  necessary  for  a  survey.  The  actual  number  of  samples  will 
depend on the total number of homogeneous materials and periods of construction 
actually identified within the survey area. 
 
•  Hidden or Obscured Materials – Suspect materials that are hidden or obscured from view 
may not be identified during normal survey procedures, and as a result, may not be 
sampled. 
 
•  Damage  from  Sampling  –  Sampling methods will  result in  some  disturbance and/or 
damage to building materials. This Proposal/Agreement does not contain provisions for 
the  repair  of  such  disturbance  and/or  damage.  Client  acknowledges  that  WT  is  not 
responsible for the repair of damage from sampling. Client will provide a certified roofing 
subcontractor to make repairs after WT has sampled roofing materials. 
 
•  Special Equipment – The Property is readily accessible to inspectors, and there is safe 
access to all areas of the building on the Property. Special equipment required for access 
to parts of the building, such as scaffolding, man lifts, platforms, or other equipment, will

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The Agreement between Western Technologies Inc. (“WT”) and Client shall 
include and be subject to WT’s Proposal and these Standard Terms and 
Conditions. The terms of the Agreement shall prevail over any different or 
additional terms contained in any document to which WT’s work relates. WT’s 
commencement of work shall constitute Client’s acceptance of the Agreement.
1. SERVICES
1.1	 WT agrees to render such services requested in writing by Client that are 
stated in the Scope of Services or similar written agreement. WT shall have no 
responsibility to perform services beyond such requests, and none shall be 
imputed or implied.
1.2	 The services rendered by WT are for the benefit of Client alone and relate 
only to conditions observed at specified locations at the time WT’s work is 
performed. There are no intended third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement, 
and nothing herein shall create a contractual relationship with or claim or cause 
of action in favor of a third party against WT.
1.3	 The presence of WT’s field technicians or representatives, if called for in 
the Agreement, is for the provision of services hereunder, and does not include 
supervision or direction of the work of Client or its subcontractors. Neither the 
presence of, nor any observation or testing by WT personnel shall excuse Client 
or its subcontractors from any deficiencies in their work.
1.4	 When performing its work, WT will take reasonable precautions to avoid 
damage or injury to subterranean structures or utilities. Client shall indemnify, 
defend, and hold WT harmless from and against any damages to such structures 
and utilities that are not called to WT’s attention and correctly shown on the 
plans furnished to WT. It is Client’s obligation to contact appropriate utility 
companies and/or private utility locators for information regarding buried 
utilities, mark such utilities, and take other precautions to prevent damage 
or injury.
1.5	 Client agrees that if Client commences litigation, mediation, arbitration, 
or any such proceeding against WT, WT shall have the right to withdraw and 
terminate ongoing work and services conducted for Client on any contract and 
project, in which event Client shall pay WT for work and services performed up 
to the time of termination.
2. PAYMENT
2.1	 WT will invoice Client monthly for services performed. Client shall pay 
such invoices upon receipt without deduction for retention or offset. Failure 
to pay within 60 days of invoice shall operate to release WT from any and 
all claims that Client may have; Client further shall have no right to use or 
rely on any report prepared by WT, and shall return all such reporting to 
WT. Furthermore, WT shall have the right to immediately terminate and cease 
performance of all services then being performed for Client on any contract 
and project until all amounts owed are received by WT. Interest shall accrue on 
the unpaid balance of any invoice not paid in full within 30 days at the rate of 
1.5% per month. Collection agency fees, attorneys’ fees, and associated costs 
that are incurred by WT to collect past-due invoices (including post-judgment 
fees and costs) shall be payable by Client.
2.2	 Estimates of fees are only estimates and shall not be regarded as “lump 
sum” or “fixed price” or “guaranteed maximum” compensation. Client remains 
obligated to pay WT’s invoices for actual work performed, whether or not the 
fee estimate is exceeded. For work requested by Client that is additional to or 
outside the written Scope of Services and/or written service request, Client 
shall sign such documentation requesting such work or services and process 
and pay WT’s invoices.
3. STANDARD OF CARE
3.1	 The services referred to herein will be performed in accordance with 
the general standard of care practiced locally by providers of such services, 
and relate only to the conditions observed or samples tested at the time and 
place reported. WT makes and intends no other warranty or representation, 
express or implied. WT shall not be responsible for any consequences due 
to changed conditions or for the failure of any person or entity to perform or 
install work in accordance with the plans and specifications.
3.2	 Soil, subsurface, and groundwater conditions can vary between and 
among sampling points and with time. WT makes no representation that the 
points selected for sampling are in any way representative of the entire site or 
project. Unless circumstances have changed justifying an earlier expiration 
of validity, geotechnical and earthwork reports are valid for a period of one 
year from the date of issuance; all other reports, including Phase I reports, 
are valid for a period of 180 days from the date of issuance.
3.3	 Where WT’s services involve geotechnical evaluations or field observation 
of earthwork, grading, filling, or compaction, Client agrees:
3.3.1	 WT is not responsible for the manner in which such work is performed;
3.3.2	 WT is not responsible for any work performed at any time when WT was 
not physically present and observing that specific work; and
3.3.3	 For continuous observations, Client shall not allow grading, filling, or 
compaction to be performed at any time that WT is not physically present at 
the site, and shall restrict the amount and extent of such grading, filling and 
compaction to that which can be observed by WT at the site.
3.4	 WT has no right, duty, or obligation to stop Client’s or any of Client’s 
subcontractor’s work.
3.5	 Client agrees and acknowledges that WT makes no recommendation or 
opinion other than those set forth in writing and contained in WT’s reporting; 
WT makes no oral recommendations or opinions. Field and lab technicians are 
not engineers. Client acknowledges and agrees that it has no right to rely on, 
and that there will be no, express or implied recommendations or opinions of 
any sort from field or lab technicians.
3.6	 Client is obligated to, and shall, directly and specifically notify WT as and 
when Client wants WT to perform services hereunder. WT shall be subject 
to no implied duties to observe or test, or to provide reports, other than the 
actual observation, testing, and reporting performed.
3.7	 “Certification” means and implies the expression of professional opinion. 
It is not a warranty or guaranty.
4. INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE
4.1	 NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT, 
WT PROVIDES NO INDEMNITY, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, 
TO CLIENT OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY.
4.2	 Client shall be adequately insured. Client and its insurers jointly and 
severally waive subrogation against WT and its insurers.
5. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
Client and WT recognize the relative risks and benefits of this Agreement, and 
agree to the fair allocation of risk between them as follows:
5.1	 NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WT’S 
TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY, INCLUDING CLIENT, ON 
ANY CLAIM, ACTION OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND OR BASIS WHATSOEVER, IN ANY 
MANNER ARISING OUT OF THE WORK DONE BY WT SHALL BE STRICTLY LIMITED TO 
THE GREATER OF $50,000 OR THE FEE CHARGED FOR WT’S SERVICES HEREUNDER.
5.2	 WT shall not be liable for loss of profit, delay, or for any special, 
incidental, indirect, or consequential damages of any kind, nature or 
description, from any cause whatsoever.
5.3	 No proceeding, action or claim of any kind whatsoever, whether in law 
or equity, may be brought against WT regarding any work performed by WT, 
more than four years after the cessation of WT’s work.
5.4	 EXCEPT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES THAT SPECIFICALLY INCLUDE AN 
INDOOR MOLD SURVEY, NO ACTION OR CLAIM OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER MAY 
BE BROUGHT AGAINST WT ARISING OUT OF THE PRESENCE OR EXISTENCE OF 
MOLD. ALL SUCH ACTIONS ARE ABSOLUTELY BARRED AND CLIENT ABSOLUTELY AND 
IRREVOCABLY RELEASES WT FROM ALL SUCH CLAIMS AND LIABILITIES.
5.5	 No officer, director, principal, employee, or agent of WT shall ever be 
personally sued, joined, liable, or responsible regarding any claim whatsoever.
ALL SUCH ACTIONS ARE ABSOLUTELY BARRED AND CLIENT ABSOLUTELY AND 
IRREVOCABLY RELEASES SUCH INDIVIDUALS FROM ALL ACTIONS, CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, 
AND RESPONSIBILITY.
6. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND OTHER SITE CONDITIONS
WT does not create, generate, arrange for or transport, dispose, own, or store 
hazardous materials or operate any such facility in the performance of its

1.0 
PROJECT DESCRIPTION 
 
The Property is developed with a former City of El Mirage Fire Station. The Property is 
described by the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office as Parcel No. 501‐36‐283E. The former 
Fire Station is a single‐story structure, approximately 4,800 square feet in size, with an 
estimated construction date of 1998. This asbestos survey will include materials associated 
with the surrounding parking lot, landscaping areas, and walkways areas. 
 
2.0 
PURPOSE 
 
 
The purpose of this Project is to report the location, condition, and quantity of asbestos 
containing materials (ACM) identified in the structure on the Property. 
 
3.0    SCOPE OF SERVICES 
 
The asbestos survey will generally follow the sampling guidelines of the Asbestos Hazard 
Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) as established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency 
(USEPA). 
 
3.1    Asbestos Inspection and Sampling 
 
WT will assign USEPA‐accredited asbestos inspectors to perform the building inspection and 
collect samples. The inspectors will identify suspect ACMs and record their location using 
functional  space  designations  for  the  rooms  within  the  structure.  The  friability  and 
condition of each suspect ACM will be evaluated by the inspectors using visual observation 
and physical contact with the materials. WT will estimate the quantity of the identified 
suspect ACMs in square feet except for thermal system insulation, which will be expressed 
in linear feet.

City of El Mirage, Public Works Department 
October 27, 2020 
Ref. No. 2180PC452 
Page 2 
 
 
Friable surfacing materials will be randomly sampled according to the quantity of material 
following the 3/5/7 rule, and other materials will be sampled at least three times. 
 
WT  has  reviewed  a  prior  asbestos  survey  report  regarding  the  Property  prepared  by 
Builders Enviro Services, Inc (BES). The report was titled Comprehensive Asbestos Survey, 
City of Fire Department Annex, 13513 N. El Mirage Road, El Mirage, AZ 85335, dated May 
8, 2013. WT, if possible, will identify and locate homogeneous materials sampled by BES 
from that report and will not resample those materials. 
 
For this project, we have budgeted for collection of 96 samples. The collected samples will 
be  documented  with  a  chain‐of‐custody  record.  The  presence  of  asbestos  in  suspect 
materials may be assumed or presumed in some cases without bulk samples being taken 
or  analyzed  if  sampling  would  result  in  objectionable  damage  to  surfaces  or  where 
institutional barriers preclude access. 
 
  
WT will record our observations on field forms to describe the suspect ACMs, give their 
location by functional space, indicate the friability and the condition of each suspect ACM, 
estimate the approximate quantity of each material, and document the locations of the 
collected samples. 
 
3.2    Microscopic Analysis 
 
The collected samples will be submitted to an analytical laboratory for microscopic analysis 
using  polarized  light  microscopy  (PLM)  methods  for  asbestos.  Samples  with  a  visual 
estimation of less than or equal to 1% asbestos will automatically undergo a point count 
analysis. A single vinyl floor tile sample, from each type of vinyl floor tile, with a visual 
estimation  of  less  than  or  equal  to  1%  asbestos  will  undergo  further  analysis  using 
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods of asbestos. The selected laboratory will 
be a participant in the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). The 
standard analytical turnaround time is 1 to 3 days. 
 
Materials  with  one  sample  that  exhibits  a  result  of  greater  than  1%  asbestos  will  be 
considered an ACM. Materials with all samples reported as “no asbestos detected” will be 
considered non‐asbestos containing. 
 
NOTE: If vermiculite insulation is identified within the masonry walls of structures, WT will 
request  additional  funds  as  a  pass‐through  cost  for  analysis.  Laboratory  analysis  of 
vermiculite  by  PLM  with  CARB  435  prep  (milling)  Level  A  for  0.25%  target  analytical 
sensitivity is $120 per sample with an analytical turnaround time of 3 days. 
 
 
3.3    Data Evaluation 
 
Once the test results are available, WT will evaluate the information obtained during the 
survey to:

5.0 
STIPULATIONS 
 
The following stipulations were made by WT in establishing the work scope and costs for this 
project: 
 
•  Variable Sample Quantities – There is no way to accurately predict the number of 
samples  which  will  be  necessary  for  a  survey.  The  actual  number  of  samples  will 
depend on the total number of homogeneous materials and periods of construction 
actually identified within the survey area. 
 
•  Hidden or Obscured Materials – Suspect materials that are hidden or obscured from view 
may not be identified during normal survey procedures, and as a result, may not be 
sampled.

The  fee  for  our  services  will  be  on  a  time  and  materials  basis  and  will  not  exceed 
$3,321.00. This fee is valid for 90 calendar days after which time a review by WT will be 
required. Additional work, which might be indicated by the discovery of unanticipated 
conditions in the field, will be performed only with your authorization and as part of 
subsequent studies in accordance with our current fee schedule attached hereto. 
 
NOTE: If vermiculite insulation is identified within the masonry walls of structures, WT will 
request additional funds as a pass‐through cost for analysis. Laboratory analysis of 
vermiculite by PLM with CARB 435 prep (milling) Level A for 0.25% target analytical 
sensitivity is $120 per sample with an analytical turnaround time of 3 days.

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The Agreement between Western Technologies Inc. (“WT”) and Client shall 
include and be subject to WT’s Proposal and these Standard Terms and 
Conditions. The terms of the Agreement shall prevail over any different or 
additional terms contained in any document to which WT’s work relates. WT’s 
commencement of work shall constitute Client’s acceptance of the Agreement.
1. SERVICES
1.1	 WT agrees to render such services requested in writing by Client that are 
stated in the Scope of Services or similar written agreement. WT shall have no 
responsibility to perform services beyond such requests, and none shall be 
imputed or implied.
1.2	 The services rendered by WT are for the benefit of Client alone and relate 
only to conditions observed at specified locations at the time WT’s work is 
performed. There are no intended third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement, 
and nothing herein shall create a contractual relationship with or claim or cause 
of action in favor of a third party against WT.
1.3	 The presence of WT’s field technicians or representatives, if called for in 
the Agreement, is for the provision of services hereunder, and does not include 
supervision or direction of the work of Client or its subcontractors. Neither the 
presence of, nor any observation or testing by WT personnel shall excuse Client 
or its subcontractors from any deficiencies in their work.
1.4	 When performing its work, WT will take reasonable precautions to avoid 
damage or injury to subterranean structures or utilities. Client shall indemnify, 
defend, and hold WT harmless from and against any damages to such structures 
and utilities that are not called to WT’s attention and correctly shown on the 
plans furnished to WT. It is Client’s obligation to contact appropriate utility 
companies and/or private utility locators for information regarding buried 
utilities, mark such utilities, and take other precautions to prevent damage 
or injury.
1.5	 Client agrees that if Client commences litigation, mediation, arbitration, 
or any such proceeding against WT, WT shall have the right to withdraw and 
terminate ongoing work and services conducted for Client on any contract and 
project, in which event Client shall pay WT for work and services performed up 
to the time of termination.
2. PAYMENT
2.1	 WT will invoice Client monthly for services performed. Client shall pay 
such invoices upon receipt without deduction for retention or offset. Failure 
to pay within 60 days of invoice shall operate to release WT from any and 
all claims that Client may have; Client further shall have no right to use or 
rely on any report prepared by WT, and shall return all such reporting to 
WT. Furthermore, WT shall have the right to immediately terminate and cease 
performance of all services then being performed for Client on any contract 
and project until all amounts owed are received by WT. Interest shall accrue on 
the unpaid balance of any invoice not paid in full within 30 days at the rate of 
1.5% per month. Collection agency fees, attorneys’ fees, and associated costs 
that are incurred by WT to collect past-due invoices (including post-judgment 
fees and costs) shall be payable by Client.
2.2	 Estimates of fees are only estimates and shall not be regarded as “lump 
sum” or “fixed price” or “guaranteed maximum” compensation. Client remains 
obligated to pay WT’s invoices for actual work performed, whether or not the 
fee estimate is exceeded. For work requested by Client that is additional to or 
outside the written Scope of Services and/or written service request, Client 
shall sign such documentation requesting such work or services and process 
and pay WT’s invoices.
3. STANDARD OF CARE
3.1	 The services referred to herein will be performed in accordance with 
the general standard of care practiced locally by providers of such services, 
and relate only to the conditions observed or samples tested at the time and 
place reported. WT makes and intends no other warranty or representation, 
express or implied. WT shall not be responsible for any consequences due 
to changed conditions or for the failure of any person or entity to perform or 
install work in accordance with the plans and specifications.
3.2	 Soil, subsurface, and groundwater conditions can vary between and 
among sampling points and with time. WT makes no representation that the 
points selected for sampling are in any way representative of the entire site or 
project. Unless circumstances have changed justifying an earlier expiration 
of validity, geotechnical and earthwork reports are valid for a period of one 
year from the date of issuance; all other reports, including Phase I reports, 
are valid for a period of 180 days from the date of issuance.
3.3	 Where WT’s services involve geotechnical evaluations or field observation 
of earthwork, grading, filling, or compaction, Client agrees:
3.3.1	 WT is not responsible for the manner in which such work is performed;
3.3.2	 WT is not responsible for any work performed at any time when WT was 
not physically present and observing that specific work; and
3.3.3	 For continuous observations, Client shall not allow grading, filling, or 
compaction to be performed at any time that WT is not physically present at 
the site, and shall restrict the amount and extent of such grading, filling and 
compaction to that which can be observed by WT at the site.
3.4	 WT has no right, duty, or obligation to stop Client’s or any of Client’s 
subcontractor’s work.
3.5	 Client agrees and acknowledges that WT makes no recommendation or 
opinion other than those set forth in writing and contained in WT’s reporting; 
WT makes no oral recommendations or opinions. Field and lab technicians are 
not engineers. Client acknowledges and agrees that it has no right to rely on, 
and that there will be no, express or implied recommendations or opinions of 
any sort from field or lab technicians.
3.6	 Client is obligated to, and shall, directly and specifically notify WT as and 
when Client wants WT to perform services hereunder. WT shall be subject 
to no implied duties to observe or test, or to provide reports, other than the 
actual observation, testing, and reporting performed.
3.7	 “Certification” means and implies the expression of professional opinion. 
It is not a warranty or guaranty.
4. INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE
4.1	 NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT, 
WT PROVIDES NO INDEMNITY, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, 
TO CLIENT OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY.
4.2	 Client shall be adequately insured. Client and its insurers jointly and 
severally waive subrogation against WT and its insurers.
5. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
Client and WT recognize the relative risks and benefits of this Agreement, and 
agree to the fair allocation of risk between them as follows:
5.1	 NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WT’S 
TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY, INCLUDING CLIENT, ON

1.0 
PROJECT DESCRIPTION 
 
The Property is developed with a City of El Mirage Library. The Property is described by the 
Maricopa County Assessor’s Office as Parcel No. 501‐33‐013E and ‐013G. The Library is a 
single‐story  structure,  approximately  2,700  square  feet  in  size,  with  an  estimated 
construction  date  of  1997.  This  asbestos  survey  will  be  limited  to  materials  directly 
associated with the Library structure, materials associated with the surrounding parking lot, 
landscaping areas, or walkways areas will not be included. 
 
2.0 
PURPOSE 
 
 
The purpose of this Project is to report the location, condition, and quantity of asbestos 
containing materials (ACM) identified in the structure on the Property. 
 
3.0    SCOPE OF SERVICES 
 
The asbestos survey will generally follow the sampling guidelines of the Asbestos Hazard 
Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) as established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency 
(USEPA). 
 
3.1    Asbestos Inspection and Sampling 
 
WT will assign USEPA‐accredited asbestos inspectors to perform the building inspection and 
collect samples. The inspectors will identify suspect ACMs and record their location using 
functional  space  designations  for  the  rooms  within  the  structure.  The  friability  and 
condition of each suspect ACM will be evaluated by the inspectors using visual observation 
and physical contact with the materials. WT will estimate the quantity of the identified 
suspect ACMs in square feet except for thermal system insulation, which will be expressed

City of El Mirage, Public Works Department 
October 27, 2020 
Ref. No. 2180PC453 
Page 2 
 
in linear feet. 
 
Friable surfacing materials will be randomly sampled according to the quantity of material 
following the 3/5/7 rule, and other materials will be sampled at least three times. 
 
For this project, we have budgeted for collection of 84 samples. The collected samples will 
be  documented  with  a  chain‐of‐custody  record.  The  presence  of  asbestos  in  suspect 
materials may be assumed or presumed in some cases without bulk samples being taken 
or  analyzed  if  sampling  would  result  in  objectionable  damage  to  surfaces  or  where 
institutional barriers preclude access. 
 
  
WT will record our observations on field forms to describe the suspect ACMs, give their 
location by functional space, indicate the friability and the condition of each suspect ACM, 
estimate the approximate quantity of each material, and document the locations of the 
collected samples. 
 
3.2    Microscopic Analysis 
 
The collected samples will be submitted to an analytical laboratory for microscopic analysis 
using  polarized  light  microscopy  (PLM)  methods  for  asbestos.  Samples  with  a  visual 
estimation of less than or equal to 1% asbestos will automatically undergo a point count 
analysis. A single vinyl floor tile sample, from each type of vinyl floor tile, with a visual 
estimation  of  less  than  or  equal  to  1%  asbestos  will  undergo  further  analysis  using 
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods of asbestos. The selected laboratory will 
be a participant in the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). The 
standard analytical turnaround time is 1 to 3 days. 
 
Materials  with  one  sample  that  exhibits  a  result  of  greater  than  1%  asbestos  will  be 
considered an ACM. Materials with all samples reported as “no asbestos detected” will be 
considered non‐asbestos containing. 
 
 
3.3    Data Evaluation 
 
Once the test results are available, WT will evaluate the information obtained during the 
survey to: 
 
 
   
• 
Identify the ACMs from the test results, 
 
 
   
• 
Describe each ACM as friable or non‐friable, 
 
 
   
• 
Categorize  each  ACM  as  a  surfacing  material,  thermal  system  insulation,  or  as 
miscellaneous material, 
 
 
   
• 
Categorize each ACM as Regulated ACM (RACM), Category I Non‐Friable Material 
(CAT I) or Category II Non‐Friable Material (CAT II), and

City of El Mirage, Public Works Department 
October 27, 2020 
Ref. No. 2180PC453 
Page 3 
 
 
   
• 
Indicate the class of work for abatement of the identified ACMs as established by 
OSHA. 
 
3. 4    Summary Report 
 
WT  will  provide  a  draft  report,  in  portable  document  format  (PDF),  describing  the 
inspection  methods,  listing  the  ACMs  identified  from  the  results,  indicating  the  OSHA 
classifications and NESHAP categories of the ACMs, and giving the location, condition, and 
quantity of these materials. The report will include supporting documentation such as site 
drawings,  pictures,  bulk  asbestos  analytical  reports,  field  forms,  and  chain‐of‐custody 
records. The draft report may complete the agreed scope of services, or WT can finalize the 
report following Client review and comment. WT will also provide tables, in Microsoft Excel 
format (XLS), of homogenous materials by function space and figures, in Microsoft Word 
format (DOC), of functional space and ACM location diagrams. 
 
4.0    SCHEDULE 
 
 
WT  will  initiate  these  services  after  receipt  of  authorization  to  proceed.  Work  will  be 
conducted Monday through Thursday after 5 pm or during normal business hours on Friday. 
The Client will provide WT with  structure access and, if necessary, adequate escorts to 
complete the survey in a timely manner. All invoices and final reports will be completed and 
submitted by June 30, 2021. 
 
5.0 
STIPULATIONS 
 
The following stipulations were made by WT in establishing the work scope and costs for this 
project: 
 
•  Variable Sample Quantities – There is no way to accurately predict the number of 
samples  which  will  be  necessary  for  a  survey.  The  actual  number  of  samples  will 
depend on the total number of homogeneous materials and periods of construction 
actually identified within the survey area. 
 
•  Hidden or Obscured Materials – Suspect materials that are hidden or obscured from view 
may not be identified during normal survey procedures, and as a result, may not be 
sampled. 
 
•  Damage  from  Sampling  –  Sampling methods will  result in  some  disturbance and/or 
damage to building materials. This Proposal/Agreement does not contain provisions for 
the  repair  of  such  disturbance  and/or  damage.  Client  acknowledges  that  WT  is  not 
responsible for the repair of damage from sampling. Client will provide a certified roofing 
subcontractor to make repairs after WT has sampled roofing materials. 
 
•  Special Equipment – The Property is readily accessible to inspectors, and there is safe 
access to all areas of the building on the Property. Special equipment required for access 
to parts of the building, such as scaffolding, man lifts, platforms, or other equipment, will

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The Agreement between Western Technologies Inc. (“WT”) and Client shall 
include and be subject to WT’s Proposal and these Standard Terms and 
Conditions. The terms of the Agreement shall prevail over any different or 
additional terms contained in any document to which WT’s work relates. WT’s 
commencement of work shall constitute Client’s acceptance of the Agreement.
1. SERVICES
1.1	 WT agrees to render such services requested in writing by Client that are 
stated in the Scope of Services or similar written agreement. WT shall have no 
responsibility to perform services beyond such requests, and none shall be 
imputed or implied.
1.2	 The services rendered by WT are for the benefit of Client alone and relate 
only to conditions observed at specified locations at the time WT’s work is 
performed. There are no intended third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement, 
and nothing herein shall create a contractual relationship with or claim or cause 
of action in favor of a third party against WT.
1.3	 The presence of WT’s field technicians or representatives, if called for in 
the Agreement, is for the provision of services hereunder, and does not include 
supervision or direction of the work of Client or its subcontractors. Neither the 
presence of, nor any observation or testing by WT personnel shall excuse Client 
or its subcontractors from any deficiencies in their work.
1.4	 When performing its work, WT will take reasonable precautions to avoid 
damage or injury to subterranean structures or utilities. Client shall indemnify, 
defend, and hold WT harmless from and against any damages to such structures 
and utilities that are not called to WT’s attention and correctly shown on the 
plans furnished to WT. It is Client’s obligation to contact appropriate utility 
companies and/or private utility locators for information regarding buried 
utilities, mark such utilities, and take other precautions to prevent damage 
or injury.
1.5	 Client agrees that if Client commences litigation, mediation, arbitration, 
or any such proceeding against WT, WT shall have the right to withdraw and 
terminate ongoing work and services conducted for Client on any contract and 
project, in which event Client shall pay WT for work and services performed up 
to the time of termination.
2. PAYMENT
2.1	 WT will invoice Client monthly for services performed. Client shall pay 
such invoices upon receipt without deduction for retention or offset. Failure 
to pay within 60 days of invoice shall operate to release WT from any and 
all claims that Client may have; Client further shall have no right to use or 
rely on any report prepared by WT, and shall return all such reporting to 
WT. Furthermore, WT shall have the right to immediately terminate and cease 
performance of all services then being performed for Client on any contract 
and project until all amounts owed are received by WT. Interest shall accrue on 
the unpaid balance of any invoice not paid in full within 30 days at the rate of 
1.5% per month. Collection agency fees, attorneys’ fees, and associated costs 
that are incurred by WT to collect past-due invoices (including post-judgment 
fees and costs) shall be payable by Client.
2.2	 Estimates of fees are only estimates and shall not be regarded as “lump 
sum” or “fixed price” or “guaranteed maximum” compensation. Client remains 
obligated to pay WT’s invoices for actual work performed, whether or not the 
fee estimate is exceeded. For work requested by Client that is additional to or 
outside the written Scope of Services and/or written service request, Client 
shall sign such documentation requesting such work or services and process 
and pay WT’s invoices.
3. STANDARD OF CARE
3.1	 The services referred to herein will be performed in accordance with 
the general standard of care practiced locally by providers of such services, 
and relate only to the conditions observed or samples tested at the time and 
place reported. WT makes and intends no other warranty or representation, 
express or implied. WT shall not be responsible for any consequences due 
to changed conditions or for the failure of any person or entity to perform or 
install work in accordance with the plans and specifications.
3.2	 Soil, subsurface, and groundwater conditions can vary between and 
among sampling points and with time. WT makes no representation that the 
points selected for sampling are in any way representative of the entire site or 
project. Unless circumstances have changed justifying an earlier expiration 
of validity, geotechnical and earthwork reports are valid for a period of one 
year from the date of issuance; all other reports, including Phase I reports, 
are valid for a period of 180 days from the date of issuance.
3.3	 Where WT’s services involve geotechnical evaluations or field observation 
of earthwork, grading, filling, or compaction, Client agrees:
3.3.1	 WT is not responsible for the manner in which such work is performed;
3.3.2	 WT is not responsible for any work performed at any time when WT was 
not physically present and observing that specific work; and
3.3.3	 For continuous observations, Client shall not allow grading, filling, or 
compaction to be performed at any time that WT is not physically present at 
the site, and shall restrict the amount and extent of such grading, filling and 
compaction to that which can be observed by WT at the site.
3.4	 WT has no right, duty, or obligation to stop Client’s or any of Client’s 
subcontractor’s work.
3.5	 Client agrees and acknowledges that WT makes no recommendation or 
opinion other than those set forth in writing and contained in WT’s reporting; 
WT makes no oral recommendations or opinions. Field and lab technicians are 
not engineers. Client acknowledges and agrees that it has no right to rely on, 
and that there will be no, express or implied recommendations or opinions of 
any sort from field or lab technicians.
3.6	 Client is obligated to, and shall, directly and specifically notify WT as and 
when Client wants WT to perform services hereunder. WT shall be subject 
to no implied duties to observe or test, or to provide reports, other than the 
actual observation, testing, and reporting performed.
3.7	 “Certification” means and implies the expression of professional opinion. 
It is not a warranty or guaranty.
4. INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE
4.1	 NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT, 
WT PROVIDES NO INDEMNITY, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, 
TO CLIENT OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY.
4.2	 Client shall be adequately insured. Client and its insurers jointly and 
severally waive subrogation against WT and its insurers.
5. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
Client and WT recognize the relative risks and benefits of this Agreement, and 
agree to the fair allocation of risk between them as follows:
5.1	 NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WT’S 
TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY, INCLUDING CLIENT, ON 
ANY CLAIM, ACTION OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND OR BASIS WHATSOEVER, IN ANY 
MANNER ARISING OUT OF THE WORK DONE BY WT SHALL BE STRICTLY LIMITED TO 
THE GREATER OF $50,000 OR THE FEE CHARGED FOR WT’S SERVICES HEREUNDER.
5.2	 WT shall not be liable for loss of profit, delay, or for any special, 
incidental, indirect, or consequential damages of any kind, nature or 
description, from any cause whatsoever.
5.3	 No proceeding, action or claim of any kind whatsoever, whether in law 
or equity, may be brought against WT regarding any work performed by WT, 
more than four years after the cessation of WT’s work.
5.4	 EXCEPT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES THAT SPECIFICALLY INCLUDE AN 
INDOOR MOLD SURVEY, NO ACTION OR CLAIM OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER MAY 
BE BROUGHT AGAINST WT ARISING OUT OF THE PRESENCE OR EXISTENCE OF 
MOLD. ALL SUCH ACTIONS ARE ABSOLUTELY BARRED AND CLIENT ABSOLUTELY AND 
IRREVOCABLY RELEASES WT FROM ALL SUCH CLAIMS AND LIABILITIES.
5.5	 No officer, director, principal, employee, or agent of WT shall ever be 
personally sued, joined, liable, or responsible regarding any claim whatsoever.
ALL SUCH ACTIONS ARE ABSOLUTELY BARRED AND CLIENT ABSOLUTELY AND 
IRREVOCABLY RELEASES SUCH INDIVIDUALS FROM ALL ACTIONS, CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, 
AND RESPONSIBILITY.
6. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND OTHER SITE CONDITIONS
WT does not create, generate, arrange for or transport, dispose, own, or store

1.0 
PROJECT DESCRIPTION 
 
The Property is developed with a City of El Mirage Police Station. The Property is described 
by the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office as Parcel No. 501‐45‐944. The Police Station is a 
single‐story  structure,  approximately  22,800  square  feet  in  size,  with  an  estimated 
construction  date  of  2013.  This  asbestos  survey  will  be  limited  to  materials  directly 
associated with the Police Station structure, materials associated with the surrounding 
parking lot, landscaping areas, or walkways areas will not be included. 
 
2.0 
PURPOSE 
 
 
The purpose of this Project is to report the location, condition, and quantity of asbestos 
containing materials (ACM) identified in the structure on the Property. 
 
3.0    SCOPE OF SERVICES 
 
The asbestos survey will generally follow the sampling guidelines of the Asbestos Hazard 
Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) as established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency 
(USEPA). 
 
3.1    Asbestos Inspection and Sampling 
 
WT will assign USEPA‐accredited asbestos inspectors to perform the building inspection and 
collect samples. The inspectors will identify suspect ACMs and record their location using 
functional  space  designations  for  the  rooms  within  the  structure.  The  friability  and 
condition of each suspect ACM will be evaluated by the inspectors using visual observation 
and physical contact with the materials. WT will estimate the quantity of the identified 
suspect ACMs in square feet except for thermal system insulation, which will be expressed

City of El Mirage, Public Works Department 
October 27, 2020 
Ref. No. 2180PC454 
Page 2 
 
in linear feet. 
 
Friable surfacing materials will be randomly sampled according to the quantity of material 
following the 3/5/7 rule, and other materials will be sampled at least three times. 
 
For this project, we have budgeted for collection of 132 samples. The collected samples will 
be  documented  with  a  chain‐of‐custody  record.  The  presence  of  asbestos  in  suspect 
materials may be assumed or presumed in some cases without bulk samples being taken 
or  analyzed  if  sampling  would  result  in  objectionable  damage  to  surfaces  or  where 
institutional barriers preclude access. 
 
  
WT will record our observations on field forms to describe the suspect ACMs, give their 
location by functional space, indicate the friability and the condition of each suspect ACM, 
estimate the approximate quantity of each material, and document the locations of the 
collected samples. 
 
3.2    Microscopic Analysis 
 
The collected samples will be submitted to an analytical laboratory for microscopic analysis 
using  polarized  light  microscopy  (PLM)  methods  for  asbestos.  Samples  with  a  visual 
estimation of less than or equal to 1% asbestos will automatically undergo a point count 
analysis. A single vinyl floor tile sample, from each type of vinyl floor tile, with a visual 
estimation  of  less  than  or  equal  to  1%  asbestos  will  undergo  further  analysis  using 
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods of asbestos. The selected laboratory will 
be a participant in the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). The 
standard analytical turnaround time is 1 to 3 days. 
 
Materials  with  one  sample  that  exhibits  a  result  of  greater  than  1%  asbestos  will  be 
considered an ACM. Materials with all samples reported as “no asbestos detected” will be 
considered non‐asbestos containing. 
 
 
3.3    Data Evaluation 
 
Once the test results are available, WT will evaluate the information obtained during the 
survey to: 
 
 
   
• 
Identify the ACMs from the test results, 
 
 
   
• 
Describe each ACM as friable or non‐friable, 
 
 
   
• 
Categorize  each  ACM  as  a  surfacing  material,  thermal  system  insulation,  or  as 
miscellaneous material, 
 
 
   
• 
Categorize each ACM as Regulated ACM (RACM), Category I Non‐Friable Material 
(CAT I) or Category II Non‐Friable Material (CAT II), and

City of El Mirage, Public Works Department 
October 27, 2020 
Ref. No. 2180PC454 
Page 3 
 
 
   
• 
Indicate the class of work for abatement of the identified ACMs as established by 
OSHA. 
 
3. 4    Summary Report 
 
WT  will  provide  a  draft  report,  in  portable  document  format  (PDF),  describing  the 
inspection  methods,  listing  the  ACMs  identified  from  the  results,  indicating  the  OSHA 
classifications and NESHAP categories of the ACMs, and giving the location, condition, and 
quantity of these materials. The report will include supporting documentation such as site 
drawings,  pictures,  bulk  asbestos  analytical  reports,  field  forms,  and  chain‐of‐custody 
records. The draft report may complete the agreed scope of services, or WT can finalize the 
report following Client review and comment. WT will also provide tables, in Microsoft Excel 
format (XLS), of homogenous materials by function space and figures, in Microsoft Word 
format (DOC), of functional space and ACM location diagrams. 
 
4.0    SCHEDULE 
 
 
WT  will  initiate  these  services  after  receipt  of  authorization  to  proceed.  Work  will  be 
conducted Monday through Thursday after 5 pm or during normal business hours on Friday. 
The Client will provide WT with  structure access and, if necessary, adequate escorts to 
complete the survey in a timely manner. All invoices and final reports will be completed and 
submitted by June 30, 2021. 
 
5.0 
STIPULATIONS 
 
The following stipulations were made by WT in establishing the work scope and costs for this 
project: 
 
•  Variable Sample Quantities – There is no way to accurately predict the number of 
samples  which  will  be  necessary  for  a  survey.  The  actual  number  of  samples  will 
depend on the total number of homogeneous materials and periods of construction 
actually identified within the survey area. 
 
•  Hidden or Obscured Materials – Suspect materials that are hidden or obscured from view 
may not be identified during normal survey procedures, and as a result, may not be 
sampled. 
 
•  Damage  from  Sampling  –  Sampling methods will  result in  some  disturbance and/or 
damage to building materials. This Proposal/Agreement does not contain provisions for 
the  repair  of  such  disturbance  and/or  damage.  Client  acknowledges  that  WT  is  not 
responsible for the repair of damage from sampling. Client will provide a certified roofing 
subcontractor to make repairs after WT has sampled roofing materials. 
 
•  Special Equipment – The Property is readily accessible to inspectors, and there is safe 
access to all areas of the building on the Property. Special equipment required for access 
to parts of the building, such as scaffolding, man lifts, platforms, or other equipment, will

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The Agreement between Western Technologies Inc. (“WT”) and Client shall 
include and be subject to WT’s Proposal and these Standard Terms and 
Conditions. The terms of the Agreement shall prevail over any different or 
additional terms contained in any document to which WT’s work relates. WT’s 
commencement of work shall constitute Client’s acceptance of the Agreement.
1. SERVICES
1.1	 WT agrees to render such services requested in writing by Client that are 
stated in the Scope of Services or similar written agreement. WT shall have no 
responsibility to perform services beyond such requests, and none shall be 
imputed or implied.
1.2	 The services rendered by WT are for the benefit of Client alone and relate 
only to conditions observed at specified locations at the time WT’s work is 
performed. There are no intended third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement, 
and nothing herein shall create a contractual relationship with or claim or cause 
of action in favor of a third party against WT.
1.3	 The presence of WT’s field technicians or representatives, if called for in 
the Agreement, is for the provision of services hereunder, and does not include 
supervision or direction of the work of Client or its subcontractors. Neither the 
presence of, nor any observation or testing by WT personnel shall excuse Client 
or its subcontractors from any deficiencies in their work.
1.4	 When performing its work, WT will take reasonable precautions to avoid 
damage or injury to subterranean structures or utilities. Client shall indemnify, 
defend, and hold WT harmless from and against any damages to such structures 
and utilities that are not called to WT’s attention and correctly shown on the 
plans furnished to WT. It is Client’s obligation to contact appropriate utility 
companies and/or private utility locators for information regarding buried 
utilities, mark such utilities, and take other precautions to prevent damage 
or injury.
1.5	 Client agrees that if Client commences litigation, mediation, arbitration, 
or any such proceeding against WT, WT shall have the right to withdraw and 
terminate ongoing work and services conducted for Client on any contract and 
project, in which event Client shall pay WT for work and services performed up 
to the time of termination.
2. PAYMENT
2.1	 WT will invoice Client monthly for services performed. Client shall pay 
such invoices upon receipt without deduction for retention or offset. Failure 
to pay within 60 days of invoice shall operate to release WT from any and 
all claims that Client may have; Client further shall have no right to use or 
rely on any report prepared by WT, and shall return all such reporting to 
WT. Furthermore, WT shall have the right to immediately terminate and cease 
performance of all services then being performed for Client on any contract 
and project until all amounts owed are received by WT. Interest shall accrue on 
the unpaid balance of any invoice not paid in full within 30 days at the rate of 
1.5% per month. Collection agency fees, attorneys’ fees, and associated costs 
that are incurred by WT to collect past-due invoices (including post-judgment 
fees and costs) shall be payable by Client.
2.2	 Estimates of fees are only estimates and shall not be regarded as “lump 
sum” or “fixed price” or “guaranteed maximum” compensation. Client remains 
obligated to pay WT’s invoices for actual work performed, whether or not the 
fee estimate is exceeded. For work requested by Client that is additional to or 
outside the written Scope of Services and/or written service request, Client 
shall sign such documentation requesting such work or services and process 
and pay WT’s invoices.
3. STANDARD OF CARE
3.1	 The services referred to herein will be performed in accordance with 
the general standard of care practiced locally by providers of such services, 
and relate only to the conditions observed or samples tested at the time and 
place reported. WT makes and intends no other warranty or representation, 
express or implied. WT shall not be responsible for any consequences due 
to changed conditions or for the failure of any person or entity to perform or 
install work in accordance with the plans and specifications.
3.2	 Soil, subsurface, and groundwater conditions can vary between and 
among sampling points and with time. WT makes no representation that the 
points selected for sampling are in any way representative of the entire site or 
project. Unless circumstances have changed justifying an earlier expiration 
of validity, geotechnical and earthwork reports are valid for a period of one 
year from the date of issuance; all other reports, including Phase I reports, 
are valid for a period of 180 days from the date of issuance.
3.3	 Where WT’s services involve geotechnical evaluations or field observation 
of earthwork, grading, filling, or compaction, Client agrees:
3.3.1	 WT is not responsible for the manner in which such work is performed;
3.3.2	 WT is not responsible for any work performed at any time when WT was 
not physically present and observing that specific work; and
3.3.3	 For continuous observations, Client shall not allow grading, filling, or 
compaction to be performed at any time that WT is not physically present at 
the site, and shall restrict the amount and extent of such grading, filling and 
compaction to that which can be observed by WT at the site.
3.4	 WT has no right, duty, or obligation to stop Client’s or any of Client’s 
subcontractor’s work.
3.5	 Client agrees and acknowledges that WT makes no recommendation or 
opinion other than those set forth in writing and contained in WT’s reporting; 
WT makes no oral recommendations or opinions. Field and lab technicians are 
not engineers. Client acknowledges and agrees that it has no right to rely on, 
and that there will be no, express or implied recommendations or opinions of 
any sort from field or lab technicians.
3.6	 Client is obligated to, and shall, directly and specifically notify WT as and 
when Client wants WT to perform services hereunder. WT shall be subject 
to no implied duties to observe or test, or to provide reports, other than the 
actual observation, testing, and reporting performed.
3.7	 “Certification” means and implies the expression of professional opinion. 
It is not a warranty or guaranty.
4. INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE
4.1	 NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT, 
WT PROVIDES NO INDEMNITY, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, 
TO CLIENT OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY.
4.2	 Client shall be adequately insured. Client and its insurers jointly and 
severally waive subrogation against WT and its insurers.
5. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
Client and WT recognize the relative risks and benefits of this Agreement, and 
agree to the fair allocation of risk between them as follows:
5.1	 NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WT’S 
TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY, INCLUDING CLIENT, ON 
ANY CLAIM, ACTION OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND OR BASIS WHATSOEVER, IN ANY 
MANNER ARISING OUT OF THE WORK DONE BY WT SHALL BE STRICTLY LIMITED TO 
THE GREATER OF $50,000 OR THE FEE CHARGED FOR WT’S SERVICES HEREUNDER.
5.2	 WT shall not be liable for loss of profit, delay, or for any special, 
incidental, indirect, or consequential damages of any kind, nature or 
description, from any cause whatsoever.
5.3	 No proceeding, action or claim of any kind whatsoever, whether in law 
or equity, may be brought against WT regarding any work performed by WT, 
more than four years after the cessation of WT’s work.
5.4	 EXCEPT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES THAT SPECIFICALLY INCLUDE AN 
INDOOR MOLD SURVEY, NO ACTION OR CLAIM OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER MAY 
BE BROUGHT AGAINST WT ARISING OUT OF THE PRESENCE OR EXISTENCE OF 
MOLD. ALL SUCH ACTIONS ARE ABSOLUTELY BARRED AND CLIENT ABSOLUTELY AND 
IRREVOCABLY RELEASES WT FROM ALL SUCH CLAIMS AND LIABILITIES.
5.5	 No officer, director, principal, employee, or agent of WT shall ever be 
personally sued, joined, liable, or responsible regarding any claim whatsoever.

1.0 
PROJECT DESCRIPTION 
 
The Property is developed with a City of El Mirage Public Works Facility. The Property is 
described by the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office as Parcel No. 501‐45‐016B and ‐016D. 
The Public Work Facility has several structures, only Buildings A and B are included in this 
scope of work. Building A is a single‐story structure, approximately 2,300 square feet in size, 
with  an  estimated  construction  date  of  1993.  Building  B  is  a  single‐story  structure, 
approximately 4,100 square feet in size, with an estimated construction date of 2002. This 
asbestos survey will be limited to materials directly associated with Buildings A and B, 
materials associated with the surrounding parking lot, landscaping areas, walkways areas, 
or other structures will not be included. 
 
2.0 
PURPOSE 
 
 
The purpose of this Project is to report the location, condition, and quantity of asbestos 
containing materials (ACM) identified in the structure on the Property. 
 
3.0    SCOPE OF SERVICES 
 
The asbestos survey will generally follow the sampling guidelines of the Asbestos Hazard 
Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) as established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency 
(USEPA). 
 
3.1    Asbestos Inspection and Sampling 
 
WT will assign USEPA‐accredited asbestos inspectors to perform the building inspection and 
collect samples. The inspectors will identify suspect ACMs and record their location using 
functional  space  designations  for  the  rooms  within  the  structure.  The  friability  and

City of El Mirage, Public Works Department 
October 27, 2020 
Ref. No. 2180PC455 
Page 2 
 
condition of each suspect ACM will be evaluated by the inspectors using visual observation 
and physical contact with the materials. WT will estimate the quantity of the identified 
suspect ACMs in square feet except for thermal system insulation, which will be expressed 
in linear feet. 
 
Friable surfacing materials will be randomly sampled according to the quantity of material 
following the 3/5/7 rule, and other materials will be sampled at least three times. 
 
For this project, we have budgeted for collection of 183 samples (81 for Building A and 102 
for Building B). The collected samples will be documented with a chain‐of‐custody record. 
The presence of asbestos in suspect materials may be assumed or presumed in some cases 
without bulk samples being taken or analyzed if sampling would result in objectionable 
damage to surfaces or where institutional barriers preclude access. 
 
  
WT will record our observations on field forms to describe the suspect ACMs, give their 
location by functional space, indicate the friability and the condition of each suspect ACM, 
estimate the approximate quantity of each material, and document the locations of the 
collected samples. 
 
3.2    Microscopic Analysis 
 
The collected samples will be submitted to an analytical laboratory for microscopic analysis 
using  polarized  light  microscopy  (PLM)  methods  for  asbestos.  Samples  with  a  visual 
estimation of less than or equal to 1% asbestos will automatically undergo a point count 
analysis. A single vinyl floor tile sample, from each type of vinyl floor tile, with a visual 
estimation  of  less  than  or  equal  to  1%  asbestos  will  undergo  further  analysis  using 
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods of asbestos. The selected laboratory will 
be a participant in the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). The 
standard analytical turnaround time is 1 to 3 days. 
 
Materials  with  one  sample  that  exhibits  a  result  of  greater  than  1%  asbestos  will  be 
considered an ACM. Materials with all samples reported as “no asbestos detected” will be 
considered non‐asbestos containing. 
 
 
3.3    Data Evaluation 
 
Once the test results are available, WT will evaluate the information obtained during the 
survey to: 
 
 
   
• 
Identify the ACMs from the test results, 
 
 
   
• 
Describe each ACM as friable or non‐friable, 
 
 
   
• 
Categorize  each  ACM  as  a  surfacing  material,  thermal  system  insulation,  or  as 
miscellaneous material,

City of El Mirage, Public Works Department 
October 27, 2020 
Ref. No. 2180PC455 
Page 3 
 
 
   
• 
Categorize each ACM as Regulated ACM (RACM), Category I Non‐Friable Material 
(CAT I) or Category II Non‐Friable Material (CAT II), and 
 
 
   
• 
Indicate the class of work for abatement of the identified ACMs as established by 
OSHA. 
 
3. 4    Summary Report 
 
WT  will  provide  a  draft  report,  in  portable  document  format  (PDF),  describing  the 
inspection  methods,  listing  the  ACMs  identified  from  the  results,  indicating  the  OSHA 
classifications and NESHAP categories of the ACMs, and giving the location, condition, and 
quantity of these materials. The report will include supporting documentation such as site 
drawings,  pictures,  bulk  asbestos  analytical  reports,  field  forms,  and  chain‐of‐custody 
records. The draft report may complete the agreed scope of services, or WT can finalize the 
report following Client review and comment. WT will also provide tables, in Microsoft Excel 
format (XLS), of homogenous materials by function space and figures, in Microsoft Word 
format (DOC), of functional space and ACM location diagrams. 
 
4.0    SCHEDULE 
 
 
WT  will  initiate  these  services  after  receipt  of  authorization  to  proceed.  Work  will  be 
conducted Monday through Thursday after 5 pm or during normal business hours on Friday. 
The Client will provide WT with  structure access and, if necessary, adequate escorts to 
complete the survey in a timely manner. All invoices and final reports will be completed and 
submitted by June 30, 2021. 
 
5.0 
STIPULATIONS 
 
The following stipulations were made by WT in establishing the work scope and costs for this 
project: 
 
•  Variable Sample Quantities – There is no way to accurately predict the number of 
samples  which  will  be  necessary  for  a  survey.  The  actual  number  of  samples  will 
depend on the total number of homogeneous materials and periods of construction 
actually identified within the survey area. 
 
•  Hidden or Obscured Materials – Suspect materials that are hidden or obscured from view 
may not be identified during normal survey procedures, and as a result, may not be 
sampled. 
 
•  Damage  from  Sampling  –  Sampling methods will  result in  some  disturbance and/or 
damage to building materials. This Proposal/Agreement does not contain provisions for 
the  repair  of  such  disturbance  and/or  damage.  Client  acknowledges  that  WT  is  not 
responsible for the repair of damage from sampling. Client will provide a certified roofing 
subcontractor to make repairs after WT has sampled roofing materials.

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The Agreement between Western Technologies Inc. (“WT”) and Client shall 
include and be subject to WT’s Proposal and these Standard Terms and 
Conditions. The terms of the Agreement shall prevail over any different or 
additional terms contained in any document to which WT’s work relates. WT’s 
commencement of work shall constitute Client’s acceptance of the Agreement.
1. SERVICES
1.1	 WT agrees to render such services requested in writing by Client that are 
stated in the Scope of Services or similar written agreement. WT shall have no 
responsibility to perform services beyond such requests, and none shall be 
imputed or implied.
1.2	 The services rendered by WT are for the benefit of Client alone and relate 
only to conditions observed at specified locations at the time WT’s work is 
performed. There are no intended third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement, 
and nothing herein shall create a contractual relationship with or claim or cause 
of action in favor of a third party against WT.
1.3	 The presence of WT’s field technicians or representatives, if called for in 
the Agreement, is for the provision of services hereunder, and does not include 
supervision or direction of the work of Client or its subcontractors. Neither the 
presence of, nor any observation or testing by WT personnel shall excuse Client 
or its subcontractors from any deficiencies in their work.
1.4	 When performing its work, WT will take reasonable precautions to avoid 
damage or injury to subterranean structures or utilities. Client shall indemnify, 
defend, and hold WT harmless from and against any damages to such structures 
and utilities that are not called to WT’s attention and correctly shown on the 
plans furnished to WT. It is Client’s obligation to contact appropriate utility 
companies and/or private utility locators for information regarding buried 
utilities, mark such utilities, and take other precautions to prevent damage 
or injury.
1.5	 Client agrees that if Client commences litigation, mediation, arbitration, 
or any such proceeding against WT, WT shall have the right to withdraw and 
terminate ongoing work and services conducted for Client on any contract and 
project, in which event Client shall pay WT for work and services performed up 
to the time of termination.
2. PAYMENT
2.1	 WT will invoice Client monthly for services performed. Client shall pay 
such invoices upon receipt without deduction for retention or offset. Failure 
to pay within 60 days of invoice shall operate to release WT from any and 
all claims that Client may have; Client further shall have no right to use or 
rely on any report prepared by WT, and shall return all such reporting to 
WT. Furthermore, WT shall have the right to immediately terminate and cease 
performance of all services then being performed for Client on any contract 
and project until all amounts owed are received by WT. Interest shall accrue on 
the unpaid balance of any invoice not paid in full within 30 days at the rate of 
1.5% per month. Collection agency fees, attorneys’ fees, and associated costs 
that are incurred by WT to collect past-due invoices (including post-judgment 
fees and costs) shall be payable by Client.
2.2	 Estimates of fees are only estimates and shall not be regarded as “lump 
sum” or “fixed price” or “guaranteed maximum” compensation. Client remains 
obligated to pay WT’s invoices for actual work performed, whether or not the 
fee estimate is exceeded. For work requested by Client that is additional to or 
outside the written Scope of Services and/or written service request, Client 
shall sign such documentation requesting such work or services and process 
and pay WT’s invoices.
3. STANDARD OF CARE
3.1	 The services referred to herein will be performed in accordance with 
the general standard of care practiced locally by providers of such services, 
and relate only to the conditions observed or samples tested at the time and 
place reported. WT makes and intends no other warranty or representation, 
express or implied. WT shall not be responsible for any consequences due 
to changed conditions or for the failure of any person or entity to perform or 
install work in accordance with the plans and specifications.
3.2	 Soil, subsurface, and groundwater conditions can vary between and 
among sampling points and with time. WT makes no representation that the 
points selected for sampling are in any way representative of the entire site or 
project. Unless circumstances have changed justifying an earlier expiration 
of validity, geotechnical and earthwork reports are valid for a period of one 
year from the date of issuance; all other reports, including Phase I reports, 
are valid for a period of 180 days from the date of issuance.
3.3	 Where WT’s services involve geotechnical evaluations or field observation 
of earthwork, grading, filling, or compaction, Client agrees:
3.3.1	 WT is not responsible for the manner in which such work is performed;
3.3.2	 WT is not responsible for any work performed at any time when WT was 
not physically present and observing that specific work; and
3.3.3	 For continuous observations, Client shall not allow grading, filling, or 
compaction to be performed at any time that WT is not physically present at 
the site, and shall restrict the amount and extent of such grading, filling and 
compaction to that which can be observed by WT at the site.
3.4	 WT has no right, duty, or obligation to stop Client’s or any of Client’s 
subcontractor’s work.
3.5	 Client agrees and acknowledges that WT makes no recommendation or 
opinion other than those set forth in writing and contained in WT’s reporting; 
WT makes no oral recommendations or opinions. Field and lab technicians are 
not engineers. Client acknowledges and agrees that it has no right to rely on, 
and that there will be no, express or implied recommendations or opinions of 
any sort from field or lab technicians.
3.6	 Client is obligated to, and shall, directly and specifically notify WT as and 
when Client wants WT to perform services hereunder. WT shall be subject 
to no implied duties to observe or test, or to provide reports, other than the 
actual observation, testing, and reporting performed.
3.7	 “Certification” means and implies the expression of professional opinion. 
It is not a warranty or guaranty.
4. INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE
4.1	 NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT, 
WT PROVIDES NO INDEMNITY, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, 
TO CLIENT OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY.
4.2	 Client shall be adequately insured. Client and its insurers jointly and 
severally waive subrogation against WT and its insurers.
5. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
Client and WT recognize the relative risks and benefits of this Agreement, and 
agree to the fair allocation of risk between them as follows:
5.1	 NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WT’S 
TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY, INCLUDING CLIENT, ON 
ANY CLAIM, ACTION OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND OR BASIS WHATSOEVER, IN ANY 
MANNER ARISING OUT OF THE WORK DONE BY WT SHALL BE STRICTLY LIMITED TO 
THE GREATER OF $50,000 OR THE FEE CHARGED FOR WT’S SERVICES HEREUNDER.
5.2	 WT shall not be liable for loss of profit, delay, or for any special,

1.0 
PROJECT DESCRIPTION 
 
The Property is developed with the City of El Mirage Senior Center & Courts buildings. The 
Property is described by the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office as Parcel No. 501‐33‐013E 
and ‐013G. The Senior Center is a single‐story structure, approximately 5,800 square feet in 
size, with an estimated construction date of 1973. The Courts building is a single‐story 
structure, approximately 4,900 square feet in size, with an estimated construction date of 
1973. This asbestos survey will be limited to materials directly associated with the Senior 
Center  &  Courts  buildings,  materials  associated  with  the  surrounding  parking  lot, 
landscaping areas, or walkways areas will not be included. 
 
2.0 
PURPOSE 
 
 
The purpose of this Project is to report the location, condition, and quantity of asbestos 
containing materials (ACM) identified in the structure on the Property. 
 
3.0    SCOPE OF SERVICES 
 
The asbestos survey will generally follow the sampling guidelines of the Asbestos Hazard 
Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) as established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency 
(USEPA). 
 
3.1    Asbestos Inspection and Sampling 
 
WT will assign USEPA‐accredited asbestos inspectors to perform the building inspection and 
collect samples. The inspectors will identify suspect ACMs and record their location using 
functional  space  designations  for  the  rooms  within  the  structure.  The  friability  and 
condition of each suspect ACM will be evaluated by the inspectors using visual observation

City of El Mirage, Public Works Department 
October 27, 2020 
Ref. No. 2180PC456 
Page 2 
 
and physical contact with the materials. WT will estimate the quantity of the identified 
suspect ACMs in square feet except for thermal system insulation, which will be expressed 
in linear feet. 
 
Friable surfacing materials will be randomly sampled according to the quantity of material 
following the 3/5/7 rule, and other materials will be sampled at least three times. 
 
For this project, we have budgeted for collection of 231 samples (123 for the Senior Center 
and 108 for the Courts). The collected samples will be documented with a chain‐of‐custody 
record. The presence of asbestos in suspect materials may be assumed or presumed in 
some  cases  without  bulk  samples  being  taken  or  analyzed  if  sampling  would  result  in 
objectionable damage to surfaces or where institutional barriers preclude access. 
 
  
WT will record our observations on field forms to describe the suspect ACMs, give their 
location by functional space, indicate the friability and the condition of each suspect ACM, 
estimate the approximate quantity of each material, and document the locations of the 
collected samples. 
 
3.2    Microscopic Analysis 
 
The collected samples will be submitted to an analytical laboratory for microscopic analysis 
using  polarized  light  microscopy  (PLM)  methods  for  asbestos.  Samples  with  a  visual 
estimation of less than or equal to 1% asbestos will automatically undergo a point count 
analysis. A single vinyl floor tile sample, from each type of vinyl floor tile, with a visual 
estimation  of  less  than  or  equal  to  1%  asbestos  will  undergo  further  analysis  using 
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods of asbestos. The selected laboratory will 
be a participant in the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). The 
standard analytical turnaround time is 1 to 3 days. 
 
Materials  with  one  sample  that  exhibits  a  result  of  greater  than  1%  asbestos  will  be 
considered an ACM. Materials with all samples reported as “no asbestos detected” will be 
considered non‐asbestos containing. 
 
 
3.3    Data Evaluation 
 
Once the test results are available, WT will evaluate the information obtained during the 
survey to: 
 
 
   
• 
Identify the ACMs from the test results, 
 
 
   
• 
Describe each ACM as friable or non‐friable, 
 
 
   
• 
Categorize  each  ACM  as  a  surfacing  material,  thermal  system  insulation,  or  as 
miscellaneous material, 
 
 
   
• 
Categorize each ACM as Regulated ACM (RACM), Category I Non‐Friable Material

City of El Mirage, Public Works Department 
October 27, 2020 
Ref. No. 2180PC456 
Page 3 
 
(CAT I) or Category II Non‐Friable Material (CAT II), and 
 
 
   
• 
Indicate the class of work for abatement of the identified ACMs as established by 
OSHA. 
 
3. 4    Summary Report 
 
WT  will  provide  a  draft  report,  in  portable  document  format  (PDF),  describing  the 
inspection  methods,  listing  the  ACMs  identified  from  the  results,  indicating  the  OSHA 
classifications and NESHAP categories of the ACMs, and giving the location, condition, and 
quantity of these materials. The report will include supporting documentation such as site 
drawings,  pictures,  bulk  asbestos  analytical  reports,  field  forms,  and  chain‐of‐custody 
records. The draft report may complete the agreed scope of services, or WT can finalize the 
report following Client review and comment. WT will also provide tables, in Microsoft Excel 
format (XLS), of homogenous materials by function space and figures, in Microsoft Word 
format (DOC), of functional space and ACM location diagrams. 
 
4.0    SCHEDULE 
 
 
WT  will  initiate  these  services  after  receipt  of  authorization  to  proceed.  Work  will  be 
conducted Monday through Thursday after 5 pm or during normal business hours on Friday. 
The Client will provide WT with  structure access and, if necessary, adequate escorts to 
complete the survey in a timely manner. All invoices and final reports will be completed and 
submitted by June 30, 2021. 
 
5.0 
STIPULATIONS 
 
The following stipulations were made by WT in establishing the work scope and costs for this 
project: 
 
•  Variable Sample Quantities – There is no way to accurately predict the number of 
samples  which  will  be  necessary  for  a  survey.  The  actual  number  of  samples  will 
depend on the total number of homogeneous materials and periods of construction 
actually identified within the survey area. 
 
•  Hidden or Obscured Materials – Suspect materials that are hidden or obscured from view 
may not be identified during normal survey procedures, and as a result, may not be 
sampled. 
 
•  Damage  from  Sampling  –  Sampling methods will  result in  some  disturbance and/or 
damage to building materials. This Proposal/Agreement does not contain provisions for 
the  repair  of  such  disturbance  and/or  damage.  Client  acknowledges  that  WT  is  not 
responsible for the repair of damage from sampling. Client will provide a certified roofing 
subcontractor to make repairs after WT has sampled roofing materials. 
 
•  Special Equipment – The Property is readily accessible to inspectors, and there is safe

access to all areas of the building on the Property. Special equipment required for access 
to parts of the building, such as scaffolding, man lifts, platforms, or other equipment, will 
require an additional cost for the project. 
 
6.0    FEES 
 
 
The  fee  for  our  services  will  be  on  a  time  and  materials  basis  and  will  not  exceed 
$5,908.50. This fee is valid for 90 calendar days after which time a review by WT will be 
required. Additional work, which might be indicated by the discovery of unanticipated 
conditions in the field, will be performed only with your authorization and as part of 
subsequent studies in accordance with our current fee schedule attached hereto. 
 
7.0 
MANNER OF PAYMENT 
 
WT will invoice Client for total fees upon completion of services. Full payment for services 
is due upon receipt of invoice.

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The Agreement between Western Technologies Inc. (“WT”) and Client shall 
include and be subject to WT’s Proposal and these Standard Terms and 
Conditions. The terms of the Agreement shall prevail over any different or 
additional terms contained in any document to which WT’s work relates. WT’s 
commencement of work shall constitute Client’s acceptance of the Agreement.
1. SERVICES
1.1	 WT agrees to render such services requested in writing by Client that are 
stated in the Scope of Services or similar written agreement. WT shall have no 
responsibility to perform services beyond such requests, and none shall be 
imputed or implied.
1.2	 The services rendered by WT are for the benefit of Client alone and relate 
only to conditions observed at specified locations at the time WT’s work is 
performed. There are no intended third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement, 
and nothing herein shall create a contractual relationship with or claim or cause 
of action in favor of a third party against WT.
1.3	 The presence of WT’s field technicians or representatives, if called for in 
the Agreement, is for the provision of services hereunder, and does not include 
supervision or direction of the work of Client or its subcontractors. Neither the 
presence of, nor any observation or testing by WT personnel shall excuse Client 
or its subcontractors from any deficiencies in their work.
1.4	 When performing its work, WT will take reasonable precautions to avoid 
damage or injury to subterranean structures or utilities. Client shall indemnify, 
defend, and hold WT harmless from and against any damages to such structures 
and utilities that are not called to WT’s attention and correctly shown on the 
plans furnished to WT. It is Client’s obligation to contact appropriate utility 
companies and/or private utility locators for information regarding buried 
utilities, mark such utilities, and take other precautions to prevent damage 
or injury.
1.5	 Client agrees that if Client commences litigation, mediation, arbitration, 
or any such proceeding against WT, WT shall have the right to withdraw and 
terminate ongoing work and services conducted for Client on any contract and 
project, in which event Client shall pay WT for work and services performed up 
to the time of termination.
2. PAYMENT
2.1	 WT will invoice Client monthly for services performed. Client shall pay 
such invoices upon receipt without deduction for retention or offset. Failure 
to pay within 60 days of invoice shall operate to release WT from any and 
all claims that Client may have; Client further shall have no right to use or 
rely on any report prepared by WT, and shall return all such reporting to 
WT. Furthermore, WT shall have the right to immediately terminate and cease 
performance of all services then being performed for Client on any contract 
and project until all amounts owed are received by WT. Interest shall accrue on 
the unpaid balance of any invoice not paid in full within 30 days at the rate of 
1.5% per month. Collection agency fees, attorneys’ fees, and associated costs 
that are incurred by WT to collect past-due invoices (including post-judgment 
fees and costs) shall be payable by Client.
2.2	 Estimates of fees are only estimates and shall not be regarded as “lump 
sum” or “fixed price” or “guaranteed maximum” compensation. Client remains 
obligated to pay WT’s invoices for actual work performed, whether or not the 
fee estimate is exceeded. For work requested by Client that is additional to or 
outside the written Scope of Services and/or written service request, Client 
shall sign such documentation requesting such work or services and process 
and pay WT’s invoices.
3. STANDARD OF CARE
3.1	 The services referred to herein will be performed in accordance with 
the general standard of care practiced locally by providers of such services, 
and relate only to the conditions observed or samples tested at the time and 
place reported. WT makes and intends no other warranty or representation, 
express or implied. WT shall not be responsible for any consequences due 
to changed conditions or for the failure of any person or entity to perform or 
install work in accordance with the plans and specifications.
3.2	 Soil, subsurface, and groundwater conditions can vary between and 
among sampling points and with time. WT makes no representation that the 
points selected for sampling are in any way representative of the entire site or 
project. Unless circumstances have changed justifying an earlier expiration 
of validity, geotechnical and earthwork reports are valid for a period of one 
year from the date of issuance; all other reports, including Phase I reports, 
are valid for a period of 180 days from the date of issuance.
3.3	 Where WT’s services involve geotechnical evaluations or field observation 
of earthwork, grading, filling, or compaction, Client agrees:
3.3.1	 WT is not responsible for the manner in which such work is performed;
3.3.2	 WT is not responsible for any work performed at any time when WT was 
not physically present and observing that specific work; and
3.3.3	 For continuous observations, Client shall not allow grading, filling, or 
compaction to be performed at any time that WT is not physically present at 
the site, and shall restrict the amount and extent of such grading, filling and 
compaction to that which can be observed by WT at the site.
3.4	 WT has no right, duty, or obligation to stop Client’s or any of Client’s 
subcontractor’s work.
3.5	 Client agrees and acknowledges that WT makes no recommendation or 
opinion other than those set forth in writing and contained in WT’s reporting; 
WT makes no oral recommendations or opinions. Field and lab technicians are 
not engineers. Client acknowledges and agrees that it has no right to rely on, 
and that there will be no, express or implied recommendations or opinions of 
any sort from field or lab technicians.
3.6	 Client is obligated to, and shall, directly and specifically notify WT as and 
when Client wants WT to perform services hereunder. WT shall be subject 
to no implied duties to observe or test, or to provide reports, other than the 
actual observation, testing, and reporting performed.
3.7	 “Certification” means and implies the expression of professional opinion. 
It is not a warranty or guaranty.
4. INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE
4.1	 NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT, 
WT PROVIDES NO INDEMNITY, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, 
TO CLIENT OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY.
4.2	 Client shall be adequately insured. Client and its insurers jointly and
