The Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District, an agricultural improvement district organized and existing

Project: CUS BA UE CH RAY & DOBSON 12KV UNDERBUILD
CONV
Work Order #: T3585706
Location: RAY RD AND DOBSON RD, CHANDLER
Municipality Job #:
This Contract includes the attached Terms and Conditions, and describes the general obligations of SRP and the Municipality.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Contract, any changes, amendments or modifications to this Contract shall be in
writing and signed by both parties.
Municipality understands that SRP will not begin design until Municipality signs and returns this Contract. Upon receipt of the
signed Contract, SRP will commence design and defer collecting any design fees or costs until the parties execute a contract for
construction of the Project.
Upon completion of the job design, SRP shall provide to the Municipality a set of design drawings and a contract for construction
of the Project. If Municipality desires SRP to proceed with construction of the Project in accordance with the design drawings,
Municipality shall execute and return the Construction Services Contract and pay SRP the specified fees for construction of the
Project. Municipality acknowledges and agrees that the fees payable under the Construction Services Contract will include the
design fees and costs incurred by SRP under this Contract. If Municipality cancels the Project at any time, or if Municipality
fails to execute a contract with SRP for construction of the Project within 120 days after SRP delivers design drawings
for the Project to Municipality, Municipality agrees to reimburse SRP for the design fees and costs incurred by SRP
under this Contract. If the Contract is terminated, Customer may request in writing that SRP reschedule the Project, in which
case,  SRP may require a complete redesign, as well as a recalculation and repayment by Customer of CIAC. No credits will be
offered for prior design or construction work performed by SRP to the extent such prior work is not part of the scope of the revised
design or construction work.
Further, if the Customer does not execute this contract within ninety (90) days,  SRP reserves the right to revise the Conceptual
Project Estimate and issue an updated contract.  In addition, delays in the execution of the contract may cause construction
delays.
For informational purposes only, the following conceptual Project estimate is provided to the Municipality. This conceptual estimate
is non-binding.
Conceptual Project Estimate: $328,834.00
Comments:
Customer to install approximately 1,635 linear feet of trench & conduit. Customer responsible
for backfill and restoration. SRP to install approximately 4 three phase pad mounted device(s).
SRP to install approximately 1 riser(s). SRP to install approximately 9,081 feet of aluminum
conductor.
SRP shall not be required to perform inspections or begin any construction or installation work on the Project until Municipality (i)
approves and returns the signed Construction Services Contract that will be provided upon completion of this Design Services
Contract, (ii) accepts the completed design drawings by signing them, (iii) pays SRP the specified fees for construction of the
Project, (iv) provides SRP the approved Municipal permit(s) and (v) provides to SRP a copy of a deed or deeds evidencing
ownership of all the real property that is encompassed within or will be affected by the Project or other written documentation
acceptable to SRP that establishes Municipality’s authority in connection with the Project before SRP will begin any construction
or installation work under this Contract. If Municipality is unable to provide such documentation, and as a result SRP is required to
modify its designs for the Project, Municipality shall be responsible for paying additional costs of the redesign work. If Municipality
changes the Project, or if there is any change to the information regarding the Project provided by Municipality and relied upon by
SRP, SRP will charge Municipality and Municipality shall pay for any additional costs incurred by SRP, including but not limited to
redesign and engineering costs.
SRP's delivery of this Contract to Municipality constitutes an offer to perform the design services on the terms and conditions set
forth in this Contract. Municipality may accept this offer by signing this Contract (with no additions, deletions, or modifications) and
returning it to SRP. This offer shall expire if Municipality has not signed and returned this Contract to SRP within 120 days of the

the terms and conditions of this Contract.

bodies, its officers, agents and employees, for, from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, costs of defense, attorney's fees,

or damage to any installation prohibited by this Section 9, even if such damage was caused by the negligent or intentional act or
omission of SRP.
10. Municipality shall permit SRP to inspect, at any time, any Municipality provided facility. Any inspection by SRP shall not be deemed an
approval of any Municipality provided facility or a waiver by SRP of any right to enforce strict compliance with the terms and conditions
of this Contract.

grade due to Municipality requested changes in property lines, easement grade, and/or errors in staking, trenching, or survey.
