KLEINFELDER 6.0 CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES AND ASSUMPTIONS This workplan/proposal is based on the following assumptions: > Atherton Kirk Development will provide all site access for the drilling, well installation, subsequent monitoring and eventual well destruction. > Adequate workspace and access will be provided. Kleinfelder will attempt to install the monitoring wells and collect samples at the proposed locations. If the drilling equipment cannot be positioned, alternative drilling locations or sampling methods should be investigated. > The monitoring well is to be installed with a truck mounted drill rig equipped with hollow stem augers. It is anticipated that concrete cutting will not be required to access the monitoring well locations. If difficult drilling conditions are encountered, alternative methods may be necessary. > Soil generated during the drilling will not be contained. Water generated during well installation, and sampling will also not be contained. > This proposal is based on the presumption that the client will clearly mark utility 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. > Three copies of all documents will be delivered to the client. Additional copies can be provided for an additional fee. > Client meetings, draft reports and revisions to the report are not included in the budget estimate, but can be provided on a time and materials basis at the client's request. > Traffic control and its associated costs are not included in this proposal (if needed). 7.0 LIMITATIONS Kleinfelder prepared this proposal in accordance with generally accepted standards of care which exist in San Joaquin County, 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.
