File No. 20-3978-01.W 16 KLEINFELDER January 8, 1997 CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES AND ASSUMPTIONS > Atherton Kirk Development will assist Kleinfelder in obtaining access to the site and owner authorization for the proposed sampling. > Adequate work space and access will be provided. Kleinfelder will attempt to advance soil borings and collect samples at the proposed locations. If the drilling equipment cannot be positioned, alternative drilling locations or sampling methods should be investigated. > The borings are to be drilled with a truck mounted drill rig equipped with hollow stem augers, or sampled using a hand auger and slide hammer. If difficult drilling conditions are encountered, alternative sampling methods may be necessary. > Soil and water generated during the drilling and sampling will be the responsibility of the client. Soil cuttings and steam cleaning water will be left on site. Sampling and analysis of the contained soil and water may be necessary prior to disposal. Disposal or remediation options for the soil and water can be assessed once analytical results have been received. Kleinfelder is prepared to assist the client and to remediate or dispose of stockpiled soil and water, if requested. > This proposal is based on the presumption that Atherton Kirk Development will clearly mark utilities and will provide any and all available survey maps or other data to determine the location of tanks, existing structures, underground utilities and services. The client should be aware that penetrating the site's surface is inherently risky. It is impossible to determine with certainty the precise location of all structures which may be buried in the ground. Kleinfelder's fee is not adequate to compensate for both the performance of the services and the assumption of risk of damage to such structures. Disruption of utilities or damage to underground structures and repair will be the responsibility of the client. Services rendered by Kleinfelder to repair them will be billed at cost. Underground Services Alert (USA) at 1-800-642-2444 provides a partial location service free of charge for major utility lines. Kleinfelder can make contact with USA for a site visit, if requested. LIMITATIONS Kleinfelder prepared this proposal in accordance with generally accepted standards of care which exist in Northern California at this time. It should be recognized that definition and evaluation of geologic and environmental conditions are a difficult and inexact science. Judgments leading to conclusions and recommendations are generally made with incomplete knowledge of the subsurface conditions present. More extensive studies, including subsurface investigations, may be performed to reduce uncertainties.
