Dear Ms. Taylor,
We are pleased to have been selected to provide construction materials engineering services on
the above referenced project.
Scope of Work
Our scope of service is based on our review of project plans and specifications, the quantities
taken form the contract bid proposal documents, and our conversation regarding project quantities
and testing frequencies. We propose to service this project on a call out, as-needed basis.
Earthwork
Laboratory testing of backfill, select fill and stabilized pavement subgrade materials; in-place
moisture/density testing of same. In-place sieve analysis of stabilized pavement subgrade.
Estimate based on in-place sieve analysis and moisture/density tests performed every 150 linear
feet and assumes a 28 foot wide work section. Trench and box culvert backfill in-place
moisture/density tests performed every 150 linear feet, every 1 foot vertical and assumes an
average depth of 5 feet. Further assumes 4-5 tests per trip with 3.5-hours on-site and 1-hour total
travel time per trip.
HMAC Pavement
Laboratory determination of maximum theoretical specific gravity of base and surface courses, in-
place density testing by nuclear methods. Estimate based on 5-days of placement, 2 mixes with 5
trips of 4-hours each.
Cast-In-Place Concrete
On-site placement inspection and testing to include slump, temperature, entrained air content, and
the molding of test cylinders. Laboratory curing and testing of cylinders. Estimate based on
paving pour production of approximately 70 to 80 yards per hour consisting of 14 placements, 1 set
of 4 cylinders per 125 yards; 18 box culvert pours, 1 set of 4 cylinders every pour, 41 individual
miscellaneous drainage pours with and 1 set of 4 cylinders each day. This proposal assumes only
half of the cylinders will be picked up on separate stand-alone trips. The other half will be picked
up while already on-site incurring no additional charges. All small placements are estimated to
require 3.5-hours, portal-to portal.

will constitute the entire AGREEMENT superseding any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, or agreements either written
or oral. Any changes to this AGREEMENT must be mutually agreed to in writing.
STANDARD OF CARE
CLIENT recognizes that subsurface conditions may vary from those observed at locations where borings, surveys, or explorations
are made, and that site conditions may change with time. Data, interpretations, and recommendations by CMJ will be based
solely on information available to CMJ. CMJ is responsible for those data, interpretations, and recommendations, but will not be
responsible for other parties' interpretations or use of the information developed.
Services performed by CMJ under this AGREEMENT are expected by CLIENT to be conducted in a manner consistent with the
level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the CMT LABORATORY profession practicing contemporaneously under
similar conditions in the locality of the project. Under no circumstance is any warranty, expressed or implied, made in connection
with the providing of CMT LABORATORY services.
SITE ACCESS AND SITE CONDITIONS
CLIENT will grant or obtain free access to the site for all equipment and personnel necessary for CMJ to perform the work set
forth in this AGREEMENT. CLIENT will notify any and all possessors of the project site that CLIENT has granted CMJ free access
to the site. CMJ will take reasonable precautions to m,n~mize damage to the site, but it is understood by CLIENT that, in the
normal course of work, some damage may occur and the correction of such damage is not part of this AGREEMENT unless so
specified in the COST ESTIMATE.
CLIENT is responsible for accurately delineating the locations of all subterranean structures and utilities. CMJ will take reasonable
precautions to avoid known subterranean structures, and CLIENT waives any claim against CMJ arising from damage done to
subterranean structures and utilities not identified or accurately located.
SAMPLE DISPOSAL
CMJ will retain samples transported to the geotechnical laboratory for testing for a period of thirty (30) days following
submission of the report covering those samples. Further storage or transfer of samples can be made at CLIENT'S expense upon
CLIENT'S prior written request.
MONITORING
If CMJ is retained by CLIENT to provide a site representative for the purpose of monitoring specific portions of construction work
or other field activities as set forth in the COST ESTIMATE, then this phrase applies. For the specified assignment, CMJ will
report observations and professional opinions to CLIENT. No action of CMJ or CMJ'S site representative can be construed as
altering any AGREEMENT between CLIENT and others. CMJ will report to CLIENT any observed geotechnically-related work
which, in CMJ'S professional opinion, does not conform with plans and specifications. The CMJ has no right to reject or stop
work of any agent of the CLIENT. Such rights are reserved solely for CLIENT. Furthermore, CMJ'S presence on site does not in
any way guarantee the completion or quality of the performance of the work of any party retained by CLIENT to provide field or
construction related services.
procedures of construction or other field activities selected by any agent or agreement or CLIENT, or safety precautions and
programs incident thereto.
BILLING AND PAYMENT
CLIENT will pay CMJ in accordance with the procedures indicated in the COST ESTIMATE and its attachments. Invoices will be
submitted to CLIENT by CMJ, and will be due and payable upon presentation. If CLIENT objects to all or any portion of any
invoice, CLIENT will so notify CMJ in writing within fourteen (14) calendar days of the invoice date, identify the cause of
disagreement, and pay when due that portion of the invoice not in dispute. In the absence of written notification described
above, the amount as stated on the invoice will be paid.

Invoices are delinquent if payment has not been received within thirty (30) days from date of invoice, At the option of the CMJ,
CLIENT will pay an additional charge of one-and-one-half (1.5) percent per month (or the maximum percentage allowed by law,
whichever is lower) on any delinquent amount, except for any portion of the invoiced amount in dispute and resolved in favor of
CLIENT. Disputed amounts withheld by the client which are subsequently resolved in favor of the CMJ will carry the additional
charge, as described above, effective thirty (30) days from the date of the original invoice. In the event CLIENT fails to pay CMJ
within sixty (60) days after invoices are rendered, CLIENT agrees that CMJ will have the right to consider the failure to pay the
CMJ's invoice as a breach of this AGREEMENT.
This AGREEMENT may be terminated by either party seven (7) days after written notice in the event of any breach of any
provision of this AGREEMENT or in the event of substantial failure of performance by the other party, or if CLIENT suspends the
work for more than three (3) months. In the event of termination, CMJ will be paid for services performed prior to the date of
termination plus reasonable termination expenses, including, but not limited to the cost of completing analyses, records, and
reports necessary to document job status at the time of termination.
RISK ALLOCATION
Many risks potentially affect CMJ by virtue of entering into this AGREEMENT to perform professional engineering services on
behalf of CLIENT. The principal risk is the potential for human error by CMJ. For CLIENT to obtain the benefit of a fee which
includes a nominal allowance for dealing with CMJ'S liability, CLIENT agrees to limit CMJ'S liability to CLIENT and to all other
parties for claims arising out of CMJ'S performance of the services described in this AGREEMENT. The aggregate liability of CMJ

who may join CMJ as a third party defendant. Parties means CLIENT and CMJ and their officers, employees, agents, affiliates,
and subcontractors.
Both CLIENT and CMJ agree that they will not be liable to each other, under any circumstances, for special, indirect,
consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to this AGREEMENT,
DISCOVERY OF UNANTICIPATED HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
CLIENT represents that CLIENT has made a reasonable effort to evaluate if hazardous materials are on or near the project site,
and that CLIENT has informed CMJ of CLIENT's findings relative to the possible presence of such materials.
Hazardous materials may exist at a site where there is no reason to believe they could or should be present. CMJ and CLIENT
agree that the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials constitutes a changed condition mandating a renegotlation of the
scope of work or termination of services. CMJ and CLIENT also agree that the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials
may make it necessary for CMJ to take immediate measures to protect health and safety. CLIENT agrees to compensate CMJ for
any equipment decontamination or other costs incident to the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials.
CMJ agrees to notify CLIENT when unanticipated hazardous materials or suspected hazardous materials are encountered. CLIENT
agrees to make any disclosures required by law to the appropriate governing agencies. CLIENT also agrees to hold CMJ harmless
for any and all consequences of disclosures made by CMJ which are required by governing law. In the event the project site is
not owned by CLIENT, CLIENT recognizes that it is CLIENT'S responsibility to inform the property owner of the discovery of
unanticipated hazardous materials or suspected hazardous materials,
Notwithstanding any other provision of the AGREEMENT, CLIENT waives any claim against CMJ arising from CMJ'S discovery of
unanticipated hazardous materials or suspected hazardous materials, including, but not limited to, any costs created by delay of
the project and any cost associated with possible reduction of the property's value,
CLIENT will be responsible for ultimate disposal of any samples secured by CMJ which are found to be contaminated, This
includes any soil or rock cuttings, and contaminated drilling or wash water which is generated as a consequence of drilling
activities.
DISPUTES RESOLUTION
All claims, disputes, and other matters in controversy between CMJ and CLIENT arising out of or in any way related to this
AGREEMENT will be submitted to "alternative dispute resolution" {ADR) before and as a condition precedent to other remedies
