Va KLEIiNFELDER 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. Underground Services Alert (USA) at 1-800-642-2444 provides a partial location service free of charge for major utility lines. It is important that the client understand that subsurface structures buried under private property will not be marked by the public utility companies by USA. Kleinfelder will request that the drilling subcontractor contact USA. • Client meetings, revisions. to the .report, supplemental letters, and asbestos abatement project specifications are not included in the budget estimate, but can be provided on a time and materials basis at the client's request. • The Scope of Work does not include notification of building occupants, other than what is presented in the final report of findings for each facility. Nor does the Scope include training employees and owners in the work place hazards associated with asbestos containing materials. However, Kleinfelder can provide these services on a time-and-materials basis, as needed. LIMITATIONS Kleinfelder prepared this proposal in accordance with generally accepted standards of care which exist in San Joaquin County 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. If the client wishes to reduce the uncertainties beyond the level associated with this proposal Kleinfelder can be notified for additional consultation. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made. Kleinfelder offers various levels of investigative and engineering services to suit the varying. needs of different clients. Although risk can never be eliminated, more-detailed and extensive investigations yield more information, which may help understand and manage the level of risk. Since detailed investigation and analysis_involves greater expense, our clients participate in determining levels of service which provide adequate information for their purposes at acceptable levels of risk. Acceptance of this proposal will indicate that First Service of Northern California has reviewed the scope of work and determined that it does not need or want a greater level of service than will be provided. Any exceptions should be noted and may result in higher fees. Regulations and professional standards applicable to Kleinfelder's services are continually evolving. Techniques are, by necessity, often new and relatively untried. Different professionals may reasonably adopt different approaches to similar problems. Therefore, no warranty or guarantee, expressed or implied, will be included in Kleinfelder's scope of service. 'During the course of the performance of Kleinfelder's services, hazardous materials may .be discovered. Kleinfelder will assume no responsibility or liability whatsoever.for any claim, loss 42162.E01 /ST04P141 Page 8 of 9 Copyright 2004,Kleinfelder,Inc. March 30,.2004
