Please review these for conformance with your plans. We would be pleased to revise these, if necessary,to meet your objectives. Our assumptions are as follows: 1. Items not specified in the foregoing scope of work shall be provided on a time and materials basis, using the hourly rates defined in the attached billing schedule of this fee proposal. Prior to the commencement of work we shall negotiate any additional fees for the services, which may be requested by the Client or required by the government agencies. 2. Due to the complexity and size of this project and based on our experiences in the past of this type of project, the scope of service as we described in this proposal is subject to changes and/or modification by the governmental agencies, client and/or physical constraint for the site. There are also many unexpected components for this kind of projects which we are not able to identify in the scope of services. Client and consultant agree that additional services are anticipated and fees associated with these tasks shall be negotiated prior to commencement of the services. 3. We have assumed that the client shall put together a team of professional consultants including K &A Engineering, Inc as the civil engineer, a planning consultant firm, a traffic engineer, a title company, several environmental consultants, landscape architect, and a qualified geotechnical engineer. 4. We have assumed that the above noted consultants shall assist in providing relevant cost estimates, including fees, when needed. We recommend that a utility consultant also be hired to provide accurate cost estimated for dry utilities during the preliminary engineering phase. 5. We have assumed that all necessary title reports (including supporting documents), previously prepared soils reports, hydrology reports, environmental studies, traffic studies, and landscape concept plans will be provided by others in a timely manner. 6. All fees required by any governmental agencies shall be borne by the Developer. 7. We have assumed that the project geotechnical report shall address and establish the location of fault zones and shall include detailed information as to the location, extent and quantities of required remedial grading. 8. The scope of work and related engineering fees proposed for the preparation of the preliminary master plans and reports is based upon the assumption that the site plan has been reviewed and approved by the client. If subsequent significant changes to the approved site plan, and related grading, are made, then significant changes may be M:\ProposaL\Private\Grand Terrace Retail Center\Phase 1 Prelim Engineering 11-1-07.doc Mr.Thomas Schwab November 1,2007 Grand Terrace Retail Center Page 4 required to be made to the preliminary master plans and therefore to the related engineering fees. 9. The fees associated with each task are for budget purposes only. Any substantial changes and/or modification to the preliminary site plan made by the client or its consultant or County Staff during their review may require additional fees, which shall be negotiated prior to commencement of the additional services. All of the preliminary master plans shall be prepared based upon meetings with the appropriate agencies and districts. However, these master plans will not be submitted to, or processed with, any governmental agency for approval. These master plans shall be utilized to provide information for accurate infrastructure and site planning purposes, Specific Plan and EIR preparation and processing, and determining preliminary construction cost data. 12. This proposal does not include any assistance in providing service to the client and/or its consultants for formation of the special assessment district and/or a CFD. Additional fees shall be required to prepare exhibits, legal description, etc. in order for formation of the district. 13. Preparation of final engineering documents for off-site improvements and/or on-site improvements for approval by the City or other governing agencies is not part of this fee proposal.
