5.2 Records/Audit. Records of Consultant’s direct personnel payroll, reimbursable expenses
pertaining to this Agreement and records of accounts between City and Consultant must be
kept on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and must be made available to
City and its auditors for up to three years following City’s final acceptance of the services
under this Agreement (this requirement is increased to five years if construction of this
project is federally funded). City, its authorized representative, or any federal agency,
reserves the right to audit Consultant’s records to verify the accuracy and appropriateness of
all cost and pricing data, including data used to negotiate this Agreement and any
amendments. City reserves the right to decrease the total amount of Agreement price or
payments made under this Agreement or request reimbursement from Consultant following
final Agreement payment on this Agreement if, upon audit of Consultant’s records, the audit
discloses Consultant has provided false, misleading, or inaccurate cost and pricing data.
Consultant will include a similar provision in all of its Agreements with subconsultants who
provide services under the Agreement to ensure that City, its authorized representative, or
Project Name: ARMSTRONG WAY AND HAMILTON STREET IMPROVEMENTS
Page 4
Project No.: ST2301.201
Rev. 11/10/22
the appropriate federal agency, has access to the subconsultants’ records to verify the
accuracy of all cost and pricing data. City reserves the right to decrease Agreement price or
payments made on this Agreement or request reimbursement from Consultant following
final payment on this Agreement if the above provision is not included in subconsultant
agreements, and one or more subconsultants refuse to allow City to audit their records to
verify the accuracy and appropriateness of all cost and pricing data. If, following an audit of
this Agreement, the audit discloses Consultant has provided false, misleading, or inaccurate
cost and pricing data, and the cost discrepancies exceed 1% of the total Agreement billings,
Consultant will be liable for reimbursement of the reasonable, actual cost of the audit.
5.3 Alteration in Character of Work. Whenever an alteration in the character of work results
in a substantial change in this Agreement, thereby materially increasing or decreasing the
scope of services, cost of performance, or Project schedule, the work will be performed as
directed by City. However, before any modified work is started, a written amendment must
be approved and executed by City and Consultant. Such amendment must not be effective
until approved by City. Additions to, modifications, or deletions from this Agreement as
provided herein may be made, and the compensation to be paid to Consultant may
accordingly be adjusted by mutual agreement of the Parties. It is distinctly understood and
agreed that no claim for extra services or materials furnished by Consultant will be allowed
by City except as provided herein, nor must Consultant do any work or furnish any materials
not covered by this Agreement unless such work is first authorized in writing. Any such work
or materials furnished by Consultant without prior written authorization will be at
Consultant’s own risk, cost, and expense, and Consultant hereby agrees that without written
authorization Consultant will make no claim for compensation for such work or materials
furnished.
5.4 Termination. City and Consultant hereby agree to the full performance of the covenants
contained herein, except that City reserves the right, at its discretion and without cause, to
terminate or abandon any service provided for in this Agreement, or abandon any portion of
the Project for which services have been performed by Consultant. In the event City abandons
or suspends the services, or any part of the services as provided in this Agreement, City will
notify Consultant in writing and immediately after receiving such notice, Consultant must
discontinue advancing the work specified under this Agreement. Upon such termination,
abandonment, or suspension, Consultant must deliver to City all drawings, plans,
specifications, special provisions, estimates and other work entirely or partially completed,
together with all unused materials supplied by City. Consultant must appraise the work
Consultant has completed and submit Consultant’s appraisal to City for evaluation. City may
inspect Consultant’s work to appraise the work completed. Consultant will receive
compensation in full for services performed to the date of such termination. The fee will be
paid in accordance with Section Ill of this Agreement, and as mutually agreed upon by
Consultant and City. If there is no mutual agreement on payment, the final determination will
be made in accordance with the "Disputes" provision in this Agreement. However, in no event
may the fee exceed the fee set forth in Section Ill of this Agreement nor as amended in
accordance with Section "Alteration in Character of Work." City will make the final payment
within 60 days after Consultant has delivered the last of the partially completed items and
the Parties agree on the final fee. If City is found to have improperly terminated the
Agreement for cause or default, the termination will be converted to a termination for

Rev. 11/10/22
convenience in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
5.5 Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law, the Consultant ("lndemnitor") must
indemnify, save and hold harmless City and its officers, officials, agents and employees
("lndemnitee") from any and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses or expenses
(including court costs, attorneys' fees and costs of claim processing, investigation and
litigation) ("Claims") caused or alleged to be caused, in whole or in part, by the wrongful,
negligent or willful acts, or errors or omissions of Consultant or any of its owners, officers,
directors, agents, employees, or subconsultants in connection with this Agreement. This
indemnity includes any claim or amount arising out of or recovered under workers'
compensation law or on account of the failure of Consultant to conform to any federal, state
or local law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or court decree. Consultant must indemnify
lndemnitee from and against any and all Claims, except those arising solely from
lndemnitee's own negligent or willful acts or omissions. Consultant is responsible for primary
loss investigation, defense and judgment costs where this indemnification applies. In
consideration of the award of this Agreement, Consultant agrees to waive all rights of
subrogation against lndemnitee for losses arising from or related to this Agreement. The
obligations of Consultant under this provision survive the termination or expiration of this
Agreement.
5.6 Insurance Requirements. Consultant must procure insurance under the terms and
conditions and for the amounts of coverage set forth in Exhibit “C” against claims that may
arise from or relate to performance of the work under this Agreement by Consultant and its
agents, representatives, employees, and subconsultants. Consultant and any subconsultant
must maintain this insurance until all of their obligations have been discharged, including any
warranty periods under this Agreement. These insurance requirements are minimum
requirements for this Agreement and in no way limit the indemnity covenants contained in
this Agreement. City in no way warrants that the minimum limits stated in Exhibit “C” are
sufficient to protect Consultant from liabilities that might arise out of the performance of the
work under this Agreement by Consultant, Consultant’s agents, representatives, employees,
or subconsultants. Consultant is free to purchase such additional insurance as may be
determined necessary.
5.7 Cooperation and Further Documentation. Consultant agrees to provide City such other
duly executed documents as may be reasonably requested by City to implement the intent
of this Agreement.
5.8 Successors and Assigns. City and Consultant each bind itself, its partners, successors,
assigns, and legal representatives to the other party to this Agreement and to the partners,
successors, assigns, and legal representatives of such other party in respect to all covenants
of this Agreement. Neither City nor Consultant may assign, sublet, or transfer its interest in
this Agreement without the written consent of the other party. In no event may any
contractual relation be created between any third party and City.
5.9 Disputes. In any dispute arising out of an interpretation of this Agreement or the duties
required not disposed of by agreement between Consultant and City, the final determination
at the administrative level will be made by City Engineer.

5.10 Completeness and Accuracy of Consultant’s Work. Consultant must be responsible for
the completeness and accuracy of Consultant’s services, data, and other work prepared or
compiled under Consultant’s obligation under this Agreement and must correct, at
Consultant’s expense, all willful or negligent errors, omissions, or acts that may be discovered.
Correction of errors disclosed and determined to exist during any construction of the project on
architectural or engineering drawings and specifications must be accomplished by Consultant.
The cost of the design necessary to correct those errors attributable to Consultant and any
damage incurred by City as a result of additional construction costs caused by such engineering
or architectural errors will be chargeable to Consultant and will not be considered a cost of the
Work. The fact that City has accepted or approved Consultant’s work will in no way relieve
Consultant of any of Consultant’s responsibilities.
5.11 Reporting. Written monthly reports, along with updated work schedules, will be made by
Consultant in the format prescribed by City. These reports will be delivered to City per schedule.
When requested by City, Consultant will attend Council meetings and provide finished documents
including correspondence for Council action, supporting charts, graphs, drawings and colored
slides of same.
5.12 Withholding Payment. City reserves the right to withhold funds from Consultant’s
payments up to the amount equal to the claims City may have against Consultant until such
time that a settlement on those claims has been reached.
5.13 City's Right of Cancellation. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement is subject to
cancellation by City under the provisions of Section 38-511, Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.).
5.14 Independent Consultant. For this Agreement Consultant constitutes an independent
contractor. Any provisions in this Agreement that may appear to give City the right to direct
Consultant as to the details of accomplishing the work or to exercise a measure of control
over the work means that Consultant must follow the wishes of City as to the results of the
work only. These results must comply with all applicable laws and ordinances.
5.15 Project Staffing. Prior to the start of any work under this Agreement, Consultant must
submit to City detailed resumes of key personnel that will be involved in performing services
prescribed in the Agreement. City hereby acknowledges its acceptance of such personnel to
perform services under this Agreement. At any time hereafter that Consultant desires to
change key personnel while performing under the Agreement, Consultant must submit the
qualifications of the new personnel to City for prior approval. Key personnel include, but are
not limited to, principals-in-charge, project manager, and project Consultant. Consultant will
maintain an adequate and competent staff of qualified persons, as may be determined by
City, throughout the performance of this Agreement to ensure acceptable and timely
completion of the Scope of Services. If City objects, with reasonable cause, to any of
Consultant’s staff, Consultant must take prompt corrective action acceptable to City and, if
required, remove such personnel from the Project and replace with new personnel agreed to
by City.
5.16 Consultants or Subconsultants. Prior to beginning the work, Consultant must furnish City
Project Name: ARMSTRONG WAY AND HAMILTON STREET IMPROVEMENTS
Page 7
Project No.: ST2301.201
Rev. 11/10/22
for approval the names of consultants or subconsultants to be used under this Agreement.
Any subsequent changes are subject to City’s written prior approval.
5.17 Force Majeure. If either party is delayed or prevented from the performance of any act
required under this Agreement by reason of acts of God or other cause beyond the control
and without fault of the Party (financial inability excepted), performance of that act may be
excused, but only for the period of the delay, if the Party provides written notice to the other
Party within ten days of such act. The time for performance of the act may be extended for a
period equivalent to the period of delay from the date written notice is received by the other
Party.
5.18 Compliance with Federal Laws. Consultant understands and acknowledges the
applicability of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Immigration Reform and Control Act
of 1986 and the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1989 to it. Consultant agrees to comply with these
laws in performing this Agreement and to permit City to verify such compliance.
5.19 No Israel Boycott. By entering into this Agreement, Consultant certifies that Consultant
is not currently engaged in, and agrees for the duration of the Agreement, not to engage in a
boycott of Israel as defined by state statute.
5.20 Legal Worker Requirements. A.R.S. § 41-4401 prohibits City from awarding an Agreement
to any consultant who fails, or whose subconsultants fail, to comply with A.R.S. § 23-214(A).
Therefore, Consultant agrees Consultant and each subconsultant it uses warrants their
compliance with all federal immigration laws and regulations that relate to their employees
and their compliance with § 23-214, subsection A. A breach of this warranty will be deemed a
material breach of the Agreement and may be subject to penalties up to and including
termination of the Agreement. City retains the legal right to inspect the papers of any
Consultant’s or subconsultant’s employee who provides services under this Agreement to
ensure that Consultant and subconsultants comply with the warranty under this provision.
5.21 Lawful Presence Requirement. A.R.S. §§ 1-501 and 1-502 prohibit City from awarding an
Agreement to any natural person who cannot establish that such person is lawfully present
in the United States. To establish lawful presence, a person must produce qualifying
identification and sign a City-provided affidavit affirming that the identification provided is
genuine. This requirement will be imposed at the time of Agreement award. This requirement
does not apply to business organizations such as corporations, partnerships, or limited
liability companies.
5.22 Covenant Against Contingent Fees. Consultant warrants that no person has been
employed or retained to solicit or secure this Agreement upon an agreement or
understanding for a commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee, and that no
member of the Chandler City Council, or any City employee has any interest, financially, or
otherwise, in Consultant’s firm. For breach or violation of this warrant, City may annul this
Agreement without liability or, at its discretion, to deduct from the Agreement price or
consideration, the full amount of such commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee.
5.23 Non-Waiver Provision. The failure of either Party to enforce any of the provisions of this
Project Name: ARMSTRONG WAY AND HAMILTON STREET IMPROVEMENTS
Page 8
Project No.: ST2301.201
Rev. 11/10/22
Agreement or to require performance of the other Party of any of the provisions hereof must
not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions, nor must it affect the validity of this
Agreement or any part thereof, or the right of either Party to thereafter enforce each and
every provision.
5.24 Disclosure of Information Adverse to City’s Interests. To evaluate and avoid potential
conflicts of interest, Consultant must provide written notice to City, as set forth in this Section,
of any work or services performed by Consultant for third parties that may involve or be
associated with any real property or personal property owned or leased by City. Such notice
must be given 7 business days prior to commencement of the services by Consultant for a
third party, or 7 business days prior to an adverse action as defined below. Written notice
and disclosure must be sent in accordance with Section 6.7 above. An adverse action under
this Agreement includes, but is not limited to: (a) using data as defined in the Agreement
acquired in connection with this Agreement to assist a third party in pursuing administrative
or judicial action against City; or (b) testifying or providing evidence on behalf of any person
in connection with an administrative or judicial action against City; or (c) using data to produce
income for Consultant or its employees independently of performing the services under this
Agreement, without the prior written consent of City. Consultant represents that except for
those persons, entities, and projects identified to City, the services performed by Consultant
under this Agreement are not expected to create an interest with any person, entity, or third
party project that is or may be adverse to City’s interests. Consultant’s failure to provide a
written notice and disclosure of the information as set forth in this Section constitute a
material breach of this Agreement.
5.25 Data Confidentiality and Data Security. As used in the Agreement, "data" means all
information, whether written or verbal, including plans, photographs, studies, investigations,
audits, analyses, samples, reports, calculations, internal memos, meeting minutes, data field
notes, work product, proposals, correspondence and any other similar documents or
information prepared by, obtained by, or transmitted to Consultant or its subconsultants in
the performance of this Agreement. The Parties agree that all data, regardless of form,
including originals, images, and reproductions, prepared by, obtained by, or transmitted to
Consultant or its subconsultants in connection with Consultant’s or its subconsultant’s
performance of this Agreement is confidential and proprietary information belonging to City.
Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Consultant or its subconsultants must not
divulge data to any third party without City’s prior written consent. Consultant or its
subconsultants must not use the data for any purposes except to perform the services
required under this Agreement. These prohibitions do not apply to the following data
provided to Consultant or its subconsultants have first given the required notice to City: (a)
data which was known to Consultant or its subconsultants prior to its performance under this
Consultant or its subconsultants by a third party, who to the best of Consultant’s or its
subconsultants’ knowledge and belief, had the legal right to make such disclosure and
Consultant or its subconsultants are not otherwise required to hold such data in confidence;
or (c) data which is required to be disclosed by virtue of law, regulation, or court order, to
which Consultant or its subconsultants are subject. In the event Consultant or its
subconsultants are required or requested to disclose data to a third party, or any other
information to which Consultant or its subconsultants became privy as a result of any other
Agreement with City, Consultant must first notify City as set forth in this Section of the request
Project Name: ARMSTRONG WAY AND HAMILTON STREET IMPROVEMENTS
Page 9
Project No.: ST2301.201
Rev. 11/10/22
or demand for the data. Consultant or its subconsultants must give City sufficient facts so
that City can be given an opportunity to first give its consent or take such action that City may
deem appropriate to protect such data or other information from disclosure. All data must
continue to be subject to the confidentiality agreements of this Agreement. Consultant or its
subconsultants assume all liability to maintain the confidentiality of the data in its possession
and agrees to compensate City if any of the provisions of this Section are violated by
Consultant, its employees, agents or subconsultants. Solely for the purposes of seeking
injunctive relief, it is agreed that a breach of this Section must be deemed to cause irreparable
harm that justifies injunctive relief in court. Consultant agrees that the requirements of this
Section must be incorporated into all subagreements entered into by Consultant. A violation
of this Section may result in immediate termination of this Agreement without notice.
5.26 Personal Identifying Information-Data Security. Personal identifying information,
financial account information, or restricted City information, whether electronic format or
hard copy, must be secured and protected at all times by Consultant or its subconsultants. At
a minimum, Consultant or its subconsultants must encrypt or password-protect electronic
files. This includes data saved to laptop computers, computerized devices, or removable
storage devices. When personal identifying information, financial account information, or
restricted City information, regardless of its format, is no longer necessary, the information
must be redacted or destroyed through appropriate and secure methods that ensure the
information cannot be viewed, accessed, or reconstructed. In the event that data collected or
obtained by Consultant or its subconsultants in connection with this Agreement is believed
to have been compromised, Consultant or its subconsultants must immediately notify City
contact. Consultant agrees to reimburse City for any costs incurred by City to investigate
potential breaches of this data and, where applicable, the cost of notifying individuals who
may be impacted by the breach. Consultant agrees that the requirements of this Section must
be incorporated into all subcontracts entered into by Consultant. It is further agreed that a
violation of this Section must be deemed to cause irreparable harm that justifies injunctive
relief in court. A violation of this Section may result in immediate termination of this
Agreement without notice. The obligations of Consultant or its subconsultants under this
Section must survive the termination of this Agreement.
5.27 Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement is made under and must be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Arizona without regard to the
conflicts or choice of law provisions thereof. Any action to enforce any provision of this
Agreement or to obtain any remedy with respect hereto must be brought in the courts
located in Maricopa County, Arizona, and for this purpose, each Party hereby expressly and
irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction and venue of such court.
5.28 Survival. All warranties, representations, and indemnifications by Consultant must
survive the completion or termination of this Agreement.
5.29 Modification. Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, no supplement,
modification, or amendment of any term of this Agreement will be deemed binding or
effective unless in writing and signed by the Parties.
5.30 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application to any person or
Project Name: ARMSTRONG WAY AND HAMILTON STREET IMPROVEMENTS
Page 10
Project No.: ST2301.201
Rev. 11/10/22
circumstance may be invalid, illegal or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this
Agreement and the application will not be affected and will be enforceable to the fullest
extent permitted by law.
5.31 Integration. This Agreement contains the full agreement of the Parties. Any prior or
contemporaneous written or oral agreement between the Parties regarding the subject
matter is merged and superseded.
5.32 Time is of the Essence. Time of each of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this
Agreement is hereby expressly made of the essence.
5.33 Date of Performance. If the date of performance of any obligation or the last day of any
time period provided for should fall on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday for City, the obligation
will be due and owing, and the time period will expire, on the first day after which is not a
Saturday, Sunday or legal City holiday. Except as may otherwise be set forth in this
Agreement, any performance provided for herein will be timely made if completed no later
than 5:00 p.m. (Chandler time) on the day of performance.
5.34 Third Party Beneficiary. Nothing under this Agreement will be construed to give any
rights or benefits in the Agreement to anyone other than City and Consultant, and all duties
and responsibilities undertaken pursuant to this Agreement will be for the sole and exclusive
benefit of City and Consultant and not for the benefit of any other party.
5.35 Conflict in Language. All work performed must conform to all applicable City of Chandler
codes, ordinances, and requirements as outlined in this Agreement. If there is a conflict in
interpretation between provisions in this Agreement and those in Exhibit "A", the provisions
in this Agreement prevail.
5.36 Document/Information Release. Documents and materials released to Consultant,
which are identified by City as sensitive and confidential, are City’s property. The

Re:
Proposal for Geotechnical Subsurface Exploration
Armstrong Way and Hamilton Street Improvements
Chandler, Arizona
ATEK Engineering Consultants, LLC (ATEK) is pleased to present this proposal to perform a
geotechnical subsurface exploration at the above referenced site. This proposal is based on a
request for proposal received via email on November 28, 2022.
ATEK is committed to providing a high level of service to its clients, commensurate with their
wants and needs. If a portion of this proposal does not meet your needs, or if those needs
have changed, ATEK will consider appropriate modifications, subject to the standards of care
to which we adhere as professionals. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The proposed project consists of a geotechnical exploration to determine the surface and
subsurface soil conditions for street improvements in Chandler, Arizona. The road
improvements for Armstrong Way start from approximately 1,400 feet to 2,600 feet west of
McQueen Road. The road improvements for Hamilton Street start from approximately 900
feet to 1,350 feet south of Willis Road. The road improvements include asphalt pavement,
curb, gutter, sidewalk, streetlight, and watermain extension. The road improvements will
grant access from intersection of Willis Road and Arizona Avenue to the intersection of
Armstrong Way and McQueen Road.
COST AND SCHEDULE
ATEK proposes to provide the geotechnical services as detailed below on a lump sum basis.
This fee also assumes that one (1) color PDF report will be provided. Extra ‘hard copy’ reports
will be provided if requested prior to the initial report printing.
Services will be scheduled upon receipt of your authorization to proceed. We understand that
the Client will provide access to the property through an encroachment permit. ATEK will
apply for encroachment permit. We estimate that our geotechnical scope of services will be
complete within twenty-five to thirty (25 to 30) calendar days from notice to proceed to close
out of scope of services. If necessary ATEK can adjust the geotechnical exploration schedule
to accommodate project requirements.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
A geotechnical subsurface exploration is required to develop information relative to existing
site soil. ATEK proposes to provide the following scope of services:

•
Perform a review of pertinent documents provided by the client regarding
geotechnical information associated with the property.
•
Perform a geotechnical site reconnaissance.
•
Review available construction information for the proposed structure as it relates to
the geotechnical characteristics of the site.
•
Explore the existing subsurface conditions by drilling three (3) soil borings to a depth
of ten feet to determine information relative to subsurface soil conditions. The soil
test borings will be advanced using a hollow stem auger to the proposed depth or to
auger refusal, whichever occurs first. Representative soil samples will be obtained
between the surface and a depth of 2.5 feet, at 5 feet, and at 5-foot intervals
thereafter using standard sampling procedures.
•
To identify if groundwater is encountered during drilling of borings.
ASSUMPTIONS
Our proposed Scope of Services and cost estimate are based on the following assumptions:
•
The project owner will provide right-of-entry to all locations of the borings through an
approved encroachment permit.
•
Locations of the borings will be cleared by “Blue Stake”.
•
Traffic control will not be required.
•
CLSM is not required.
•
Boring will be advanced through a soil surface.
•
The Scope of Services included within our fee estimate does not include any services
in connection with the discovery of potential contamination during our drilling and
sampling operations. In the event that such material is suspected, we will notify you
immediately for direction before proceeding on any out-of-scope services.
•
All borings will be backfilled with excavated materials.
•
This proposal assumes that the site is accessible with a truck-mounted drill rig, under
its own power, without the need for towing or pushing.
•
This proposal includes drilling to a maximum depth of 10 feet below existing site
grade, if deeper borings are required, we will need to revise our Scope of Work and
fee estimate.
•
Any service or cost not specifically included in this proposal is not included in the
Scope of Services and associated fee. Costs generated from any services requested by
the client that are outside the above Scope of Services will be charged to the client.
At the completion of the fieldwork, representative samples will be sealed in plastic bags or
brass and plastic containers and transported to our laboratory. The samples will then be
classified in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and
reviewed by a geotechnical engineer. Field boring logs will be prepared presenting a
description of the soils encountered by the borings. Laboratory testing completed for this
Armstrong Way and Hamilton Street Improvements
November 29, 2022

Proposal 220265
Page 3 of 5
project will include natural moisture contents, percent passing a No. 200 sieve, Atterberg
limits, one dimensional consolidation tests, undisturbed ring densities, swell tests, sulfate
contents, chloride contents, sulfide, redox potential, pH and resistivity tests. All tests will be
performed in general accordance with applicable ASTM procedures.
Based upon our analyses, a geotechnical engineering report will be prepared and issued. The
following items will be included in the report:
•
A brief review of our field and laboratory procedures and all test results, including
boring logs;
•
A discussion of the general subsurface conditions including soil and groundwater
conditions;
•
A review of the proposed construction design conditions;
•
Any unsatisfactory soil conditions (if applicable) and recommended remedial
measures;
•
Design criteria related to the recommended design values for buried pipes;
•
Recommended pavement sections for the pavements (trench repairs);
•
Recommended construction procedures and quality control measures related to
foundations and earthwork;
•
A brief review of our field and laboratory procedures and all test results, including
boring location plan. All fourteen borings will be tested for corrosion using Table A.1
found in Appendix A of the American National Standard for Polyethylene Encasement
for Ductile-Iron Pipes Systems (ANSI/AWWA C105/A21.5-99), dated 1999, i.e. 10-point
system;
•
Recommended pavement sections.

Should caliche, tree roots, concrete, rocks in excess of 6” diameter, or other materials encumber vacuum
excavation, work will be halted for that test hole and referred back to Client for alternative solutions which may
include authorization to continue work at Hourly Rate.
Traffic control costs are included where applicable.
Expected Permitting/Bonding costs, if any, have been included in this proposal. Any out of ordinary costs
incurred due to governing agency requirements will be presented to Client for approval as additional fee
amount.
If excavation spoils are determined to be potentially hazardous waste by an enforcement agency having
jurisdiction, then the cost of testing and disposal will be passed through to client. Work will cease until Client
has been notified and agreement on how to proceed has been reached.
Safe Site will exercise due diligence in identifying and locating all utilities. However, due to factors beyond our
control including lack of maps, inaccuracy of maps, lack of aboveground indications of utilities, the presence
of unknown and non-electromagnetically conductive utilities and soil conditions being non-conducive to GPR
scans, Safe Site cannot guarantee that all utilities will be found.
Payment terms are Net 30 days unless other arrangements have been made.
New Customer Policy - Payment will be required by credit card for the first job completed or if the job is over
$1000, we will require a 35% retainer to be paid prior to commencement of work. We prefer payment is made
via ACH/Wire Transfer, otherwise credit card transactions would require an additional 3% Fee. After the first
job completed, invoicing terms will be standard Net 30 Days.
