k9l KLEINFELDER • Granite Construction will provide a well location and elevation survey. • Flowing sands and cobbles may inhibit the proposed piezometer installations, potentially incurring additional costs. • 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 (such as septic system tanks or leach fields) 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. 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 (such as the septic systems, irrigation lines, and leach fields) buried under private property will not be marked by the public utility companies contacted by USA. 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 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 Granite Construction 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. 20-YP9-278/2019P314/2019W028 Page 4 of 6 Copyright 1999, Kleinfelder, Inc.
