File No. 20-3978-01.• • January 6, 1997 kn KLEINFFLDER All information gathered during the study by Kleinfelder is considered confidential and will be released only upon written authorization from the client or as required by law. California law requires a person to inform the state if a situation is encountered that can be considered an immediate endangerment to the public's health or welfare and/or to the environment. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES AND ASSUMPTIONS 3-- 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 collect soil samples at the proposed locations. The samples will be collected using a hand auger and slide hammer. If the unanticipated conditions are encountered (such as hardpan) alternative sampling methods may be recommended. Soil and water generated during the sampling will not be contained. The cuttings will be used as backfill for each of the shallow hand auger borings. 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. If the client wishes to reduce the uncertainties beyond the level associated with this 203978-01.W151207PE009 Page 4 of5 January 6, 1997 Copyright 1997, Kleinjelder, Inc.
