PBS Phase I ESA — Scope of Services
SCOPE OF SERVICES
AND
LIMITATIONS
The scope of services for this project includes a review of applicable environmental databases, a review of readily
available records to document the past and current uses of the subject property and adjoining properties,
interviews with persons with knowledge of the site, a site reconnaissance, and a final report summarizing PBS'
findings and conclusions.
PBS will provide the following specific scope of services for the property:
1. Initial Meeting: Meet or talk with the property owner or other key personnel to further discuss the project
and to obtain any information that may be relevant to the site or adjoining land. Interviews with past
owners, occupants, and operators of the site will also be conducted. An environmental questionnaire will
be submitted to the current owner for completion, as well as other persons identified as having specific
knowledge of the site.
• In order to qualify as AAI and meet ASTM E1527 -13 requirements, it is understood that the Client
will complete the Client (User) Questionnaire.
2. Agency File Check: Using a commercial database search provider, obtain a search of federal, state,
tribal, and local listings or records per ASTM E1527 -13 and AAI requirements, including Activity and Use
Limitations databases, to identify known hazardous substance violations, contaminant discharges and
other environmental problems for varying distances based upon their relative potential impact to the
subject property.
• PBS relies on readily available electronic database information whenever possible. A physical file
review may be undertaken if needed to resolve specific questions regarding the subject property
or adjoining properties. In the event that file review requires travel more than 30 miles from PBS'
nearest branch office, a travel time and mileage charge would be assessed.
• In the event in- person file review is deemed critical to assessment of the subject property, PBS
will schedule an appointment with the agency as soon as feasible. If the appointment date
requires an extension of the noted time frame for project completion, we will immediately discuss
this with the Client.
3. Geologic Research: Review available soils, geology, engineering, groundwater or other reports
regarding the property and the immediate vicinity.
4. Historical Review: Review aerial photographs of the site and adjacent property to assess previous site
conditions and operations (if available). Other historical information that may be reviewed includes
Sanborn fire maps, city directories, building permits, or property chain of title information or preliminary
title report (if provided by the Client) to determine history of usage. Whenever feasible, the history of the
property will be traced to 1940 or to a time prior to its earliest developed use, whichever is earlier.
5. Physical Inspection: An Environmental Professional (EP) or qualified staff working under the guidance
of an EP, will conduct one site visit, during which the property and any structures will be visually and /or
physically observed for potentially hazardous substances existing in the past or present. A field checklist
will be completed, and pertinent observations related to potential environmental conditions on the subject
property and the adjoining properties will be recorded. Interviews with the owner, previous owner, on -site
personnel, tenants and other persons familiar with the history of the area will be conducted, as necessary.
6. Report: A report will be prepared containing observations and conclusions relating to the apparent
environmental conditions of the site. The report will include a description of the site and conditions
encountered, topographic area map and local site and vicinity plan, and documentation of resources
PBS

SCOPE OF SERVICES
AND
LIMITATIONS
including interviews, regulatory and historic records reviewed, data gaps, opinion, and conclusions. As
required by ASTM E1527 -13, the content will include all documents that formed PBS' opinion. If
appropriate, recommendations will be made in the text of the report, unless PBS is directed
otherwise by the Client (See Checklist for option).
PBS Phase I ESA - Limitations
The purpose of this phase of the work is to determine if more in -depth studies are to be developed. Observations
will be made based on the best available information by trained professionals. It is not intended to be a
comprehensive determination of all potential liabilities associated with a particular property, nor is it represented
as a legal opinion as to the Client's performance of "due diligence" concerning the purchase of real estate. Unless
otherwise specified, the scope of services does not include a review /opinion of legal instruments such as
indemnification agreements, purchase and sale agreements, liens, and etc. Its cursory nature is to be noted by all
parties.
Unless noted elsewhere in this proposal, the scope of services for the project does not address a number of
potentially significant environmental issues including, but not limited to, hazardous materials audit, environmental
compliance; vapor encroachment assessment per ASTM standard E2600 -10, formaldehyde or radon; asbestos,
lead -based paint, PCB containing building materials, mold, wetlands and other land use issues, drinking water
quality, geotechnical or geologic hazards, nor does it include subsurface exploration or chemical screening of soil
and groundwater beneath the site.
It is standard practice in the industry to use a commercial database search provider to meet the database search
requirements of the ASTM Method. Although PBS reviews their work, the database provider's report is subject to
the limitations, constraints, inaccuracies, and incompleteness of government information and of computer
mapping data and conventions; and any disclaimer of liability made in the database report. The database report is
included in an Appendix to the PBS report.
The findings and conclusions of the report are not scientific certainties, but rather are probabilities based on
professional judgment concerning the significance of the data gathered during the course of the study. PBS is not
able to represent that the subject property or adjoining land contain no hazardous substances, oil or other latent
condition beyond that detected or observed by PBS during the study. The possibility always exists for
contaminants to migrate undetected through surface water, air, soil, or groundwater. The ability to accurately
address the environmental risk associated with transport in these media is beyond the scope of this study.

PHASE I ESA: GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
These General Terms and Conditions for Professional Services ( "Terms and Conditions ") are attached to and made part of the PBS
Engineering and Environmental Inc. (PBS) letter proposal outlining PBS' specific scope of services ( "PBS Proposal "). Hereafter the PBS
Proposal once signed by both PBS and Client (together the "Parties ") and these Terms and Conditions shall be read and interpreted
together and referred to together as the "Agreement" between the Parties. If there are any inconsistencies between language in the
PBS Proposal and in these Terms and Conditions, the language of these Terms and Conditions shall prevail.
The purpose of these Terms and Conditions is to identify basic contractual obligations of PBS and Client under the Agreement for
Phase I ESA consulting services, whereby PBS would be acting in the role of Consultant/Owner Representative for Client. Individual
projects may require additional detailed descriptions of services and associated Terms and Conditions, to be provided in subsequent
PBS Proposals.
1. RIGHT OF ENTRY: Unless otherwise agreed, the Client will furnish PBS right -of -entry on real property and be responsible for the
propriety of the time, place, and manner of PBS' entry upon the real property and any buildings or structures where PBS is to
perform its services ("Property "). PBS will take reasonable precautions to minimize damage to the Property from use of equipment,
but PBS has not included in the fee the cost of restoration of the Property, unless specifically included in the Proposal. If the Client
desires PBS to restore the Property to its approximate former condition, PBS will accomplish this and add the cost plus 15 percent
to its fee.
2. WORKER'S COMPENSATION INSURANCE AND LIABILITY INSURANCE: PBS will provide Worker's Compensation insurance
(and /or Employer's Liability insurance) as required by state statutes. PBS carries Comprehensive General Liability insurance
which, subject to its terms and limits, may provide protection against liability relating to bodily injury or property damage arising out
of PBS operations. PBS makes no representations or warranties concerning the effect, applicability or scope of such insurance.
Upon request in writing by Client to PBS, PBS will request its insurer to name Client as an additional insured on such policies and
to issue certificates to Client to that effect. PBS makes no representations or warranties regarding any act by its insurer(s) and
shall not be responsible for performing any act with respect to such insurance not specifically called for by this paragraph.
3. PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY AND LIMITATION THEREOF: This paragraph relates only to Professional Liability and not General
Liability. In performing its professional services, PBS will use that standard of care and skill ordinarily recognized under similar
circumstances by members of its profession in the state and region at the time the services are performed. No other warranty,
either expressed or implied, is made in connection with its rendering of professional services.
4. CONTRACTED WORK: PBS, including its subconsultants and subcontractors, is retained hereunder for the limited purpose of
performing certain environmental surveys, providing the results of such surveys to Client, and making recommendations with
respect to the data produced by the surveys. PBS is not responsible for the health and safety of Client's personnel or other persons
present on the Property to be investigated. PBS is not responsible (a) for the overall environmental status of Client's project, (b) for
the property Client owns or leases or may be interested in purchasing or leasing, (c) for the interpretation of the PBS report results
by others, (d) for any use of PBS reports by Client or others except as specifically set forth herein, or (e) for any other matter not
encompassed in the specific scope of work in this Agreement agreed to by PBS and Client. Any unauthorized use or distribution of
PBS' work shall be at the Client and recipient's sole risk. If Client desires to release, or for PBS to provide, PBS' report(s) to a third
party not a party to this Agreement for that party's reliance, PBS will agree to such a release provided PBS receives written
acceptance from such third party to be bound by terms and conditions similar to those set forth in this Agreement, in addition to a
fee for providing PBS reports to a new party. The Client shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless PBS and its subconsultants and
subcontractors from any claims, damages, costs, losses and expenses, including but not limited to attorney fees and costs of
arbitrations, mediations, trials, or appeals arising out of unauthorized or third party use of PBS' reports.
5. RETENTION OF RECORDS AND SAMPLES: PBS will retain all Phase I ESA project records for a period of 10 years after
completion of the scope of work, unless the Client indicates otherwise. Any material samples that have been collected will be
discarded 30 days after submission of PBS' final report unless other arrangements are made.
6. PAYMENTS TO CONSULTANT: Invoices will be submitted periodically for prior services. An account will become delinquent 30
days after date of billing. It is agreed that a late charge will be added to delinquent accounts at the rate of one - and - one -half percent
(1 -1/2 %) for each thirty days delinquent (provided the rate of such late charge shall not exceed the maximum allowable by the laws
of the state in which the PBS office submitting the invoice is located).
7. RATE SCHEDULE: Generally PBS' Phase I ESA services are billed on a flat fee basis. Time and materials fees for services are
based on the number of hours expended on the project, including travel, by PBS personnel plus any reimbursable expenses. PBS'
hourly rates will be billed as stated in its proposal or at its current hourly rates (available upon request). Invoices will include sales
tax when required.

8. REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES:
A. ESA - Related Outside Services. Subcontracted services such as those subconsultants and subcontractors, labor, and
technical services will be invoiced at cost plus 15 percent. Examples of services that may be subcontracted include other
professional disciplines, laboratory analysis, geophysical surveys, commercial database search providers, or computer
programming.
B. Supplies and Equipment. Charges for items not ordinarily furnished by PBS such as expendable equipment, rental equipment,
subsistence, travel expenses, tolls, special fees, reproduction, permits, licenses, priority mail fees, and long distance and
wireless telephone calls will be invoiced at cost plus 10 %. Certain PBS -owned equipment (for sampling, testing, personal
protective equipment, vehicle mileage, photocopying, etc.) may be required to complete the project. These will be invoiced at
PBS' standard rates without markup (rates available upon request).
C. Laboratory. PBS utilizes both in -house and outside laboratories for sample analysis. PBS maintains a list of standard rates for
sample analyses commonly utilized in conjunction with PBS' services (available upon request).
9. OTHER PROVISIONS: Neither party shall hold the other responsible for delay in performance caused by acts of God, strikes,
lockouts, weather, accidents or other events beyond the control of the other or the other's employees and agents. Waiver by one
party of any provision, term, condition or covenant owed to it by the other party is to be made only by providing written notice to the
other party and such waiver shall not be construed by the first party as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same provision,
term, condition or covenant by the other party. This Agreement supersedes any contract language which may be issued by Client
as a matter of standard purchasing protocol without regard to the unique nature of professional services to be rendered by PBS.
An opinion of construction, remediation and restoration costs prepared by PBS represents its judgment as a professional. Since
PBS has no control over the cost of labor and material, or over competitive bidding or market conditions, PBS does not guarantee
the accuracy of its opinion as compared to contractor bids of actual cost to the Client.
It is understood and agreed by both parties that PBS, in performing professional services for the Client with respect to hazardous
or microbial substances, will make recommendations to the Client but does not have the authority or responsibility to decide where
disposal or treatment of such substances takes place, nor to designate how or by whom the hazardous or microbial substances are
to be transported for disposal or treatment. It is understood that PBS is not the generator or site operator and does not own nor is it
the arranger for disposal of the hazardous waste or other materials discovered, handled or removed from the Property. To the
extent required by law, Client agrees to provide timely disclosure to appropriate public agencies of any information regarding the
Property (obtained from PBS or from other sources) where such disclosure may be necessary to prevent damage to human health,
safety, or the environment.
Client agrees that PBS and its subconsultants and subcontractors are not responsible for the creation of the condition(s) PBS is
being asked to investigate and that it would be unfair for PBS to be exposed to claims of injury or damage as a result of the
conditions. In addition, Client understands that it is possible that exploration and investigation may fail to reveal the presence,
location or source of the condition(s) being investigated even when the condition(s) is assumed or expected to exist. Client
understands that PBS' failure to discover and /or locate the condition(s) or the spread of the condition(s) through appropriate
techniques does not guarantee that the condition(s) does or does not exist. Client agrees that it would be unfair to hold PBS liable
for creating the condition(s) or the spread of the condition(s) providing PBS meets a reasonable standard of care in completing the
work set out in the PBS Proposal.
Accordingly, Client waives any claims against PBS and its subconsultants and subcontractors, and agrees to defend, indemnify
and hold harmless PBS and its subconsultants and subcontractors from any and all claims or liability for injury to person or
property or loss arising from the creation of the condition(s) or the unintentional exacerbation of the condition(s) by PBS, the
exacerbation of hazardous conditions by others, the discovery of any condition, location of any condition and /or allowing any
condition to exist. Client also agrees to fairly compensate PBS and its subconsultants and subcontractors for any time spent and
expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim.
Notwithstanding any provisions in the Agreement to the contrary, PBS' liability for all acts and omissions related to its provision of
services to Client under the terms of this Agreement shall be limited to $50,000, and in no circumstances shall such liability of PBS
include special or consequential damages.
PBS does not provide legal opinions, and recommends Client seek legal counsel for advice on issues such as the appropriateness
of a particular scope of work to minimize legal liability, reportability of a condition to a public agency, potential cost recovery from
responsible parties, and to assess the value of maintaining attorney /client privilege for work conducted under this Agreement.
In the event there is a dispute between PBS and the Client concerning the performance of any provision in this Agreement, the
losing party shall pay the prevailing party reasonable attorney's fees and costs in mediation, arbitration, trial or appeal. In addition,
Client agrees to pay PBS for all employee time, costs, and witness costs incurred for collection activity. This Agreement can be
terminated at any time by either party. If terminated prior to the completion of a scope of work, PBS shall be entitled to its portion of
fees for any work performed in accordance with its current rate schedule.

PBS Phase I ESA — Scope of Services
SCOPE OF SERVICES
AND
LIMITATIONS
The scope of services for this project includes a review of applicable environmental databases, a review of readily
available records to document the past and current uses of the subject property and adjoining properties,
interviews with persons with knowledge of the site, a site reconnaissance, and a final report summarizing PBS'
findings and conclusions.
PBS will provide the following specific scope of services for the property:
1. Initial Meeting: Meet or talk with the property owner or other key personnel to further discuss the project
and to obtain any information that may be relevant to the site or adjoining land. Interviews with past
owners, occupants, and operators of the site will also be conducted. An environmental questionnaire will
be submitted to the current owner for completion, as well as other persons identified as having specific
knowledge of the site.
• In order to qualify as AAI and meet ASTM E1527 -05 requirements, it is understood that the Client
will complete the Client (User) Questionnaire.
2. Agency File Check: Using a commercial database search provider, obtain a search of federal, state,
tribal, and local listings or records per ASTM E1527 -05 and AAI requirements, including Activity and Use
Limitations databases, to identify known hazardous substance violations, contaminant discharges and
other environmental problems for varying distances based upon their relative potential impact to the
subject property.
• PBS relies on readily available electronic database information whenever possible. A physical file
review may be undertaken if needed to resolve specific questions regarding the subject property
or adjoining properties. In the event that file review requires travel more than 30 miles from PBS'
nearest branch office, a travel time and mileage charge would be assessed.
• In the event in- person file review is deemed critical to assessment of the subject property, PBS
will schedule an appointment with the agency as soon as feasible. If the appointment date
requires an extension of the noted time frame for project completion, we will immediately discuss
this with the Client.
3. Geologic Research: Review available soils, geology, engineering, groundwater or other reports
regarding the property and the immediate vicinity.
4. Historical Review: Review aerial photographs of the site and adjacent property to assess previous site
conditions and operations (if available). Other historical information that may be reviewed includes
Sanborn fire maps, city directories, building permits, or property chain of title information or preliminary
title report (if provided by the Client) to determine history of usage. Whenever feasible, the history of the
property will be traced to 1940 or to a time prior to its earliest developed use, whichever is earlier.
5. Physical Inspection: An Environmental Professional (EP) or qualified staff working under the guidance
of an EP, will conduct one site visit, during which the property and any structures will be visually and /or
physically observed for potentially hazardous substances existing in the past or present. A field checklist
will be completed, and pertinent observations related to potential environmental conditions on the subject
property and the adjoining properties will be recorded. Interviews with the owner, previous owner, on -site
personnel, tenants and other persons familiar with the history of the area will be conducted, as necessary.
6. Report: A report will be prepared containing observations and conclusions relating to the apparent
environmental conditions of the site. The report will include a description of the site and conditions
encountered, topographic area map and local site and vicinity plan, and documentation of resources
PBS

SCOPE OF SERVICES
AND
LIMITATIONS
including interviews, regulatory and historic records reviewed, data gaps, opinion, and conclusions. As
required by ASTME 1527 -05, the content will include all documents that formed PBS' opinion. If
appropriate, recommendations will be made in the text of the report, unless PBS is directed
otherwise by the Client (See Checklist for option).
PBS Phase I ESA - Limitations
The purpose of this phase of the work is to determine if more in -depth studies are to be developed. Observations
will be made based on the best available information by trained professionals. It is not intended to be a
comprehensive determination of all potential liabilities associated with a particular property, nor is it represented
as a legal opinion as to the Client's performance of "due diligence" concerning the purchase of real estate. Unless
otherwise specified, the scope of services does not include a review /opinion of legal instruments such as
indemnification agreements, purchase and sale agreements, liens, and etc. Its cursory nature is to be noted by all
parties.
Unless noted elsewhere in this proposal, the scope of services for the project does not address a number of
potentially significant environmental issues including, but not limited to, hazardous materials audit, environmental
compliance; vapor encroachment assessment per ASTM standard E2600 -10, formaldehyde or radon; asbestos -
containing building materials, lead -based paint, mold, wetlands and other land use issues, drinking water quality,
geotechnical or geologic hazards, nor does it include subsurface exploration or chemical screening of soil and
groundwater beneath the site.
It is standard practice in the industry to use a commercial database search provider to meet the database search
requirements of the ASTM Method. Although PBS reviews their work, the database provider's report is subject to
the limitations, constraints, inaccuracies, and incompleteness of government information and of computer
mapping data and conventions; and any disclaimer of liability made in the database report. The database report is
included in an Appendix to the PBS report.
The findings and conclusions of the report are not scientific certainties, but rather are probabilities based on
professional judgment concerning the significance of the data gathered during the course of the study. PBS is not
able to represent that the subject property or adjoining land contain no hazardous substances, oil or other latent
condition beyond that detected or observed by PBS during the study. The possibility always exists for
contaminants to migrate undetected through surface water, air, soil, or groundwater. The ability to accurately
address the environmental risk associated with transport in these media is beyond the scope of this study.

PHASE I ESA: GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
These General Terms and Conditions for Professional Services ( "Terms and Conditions ") are attached to and made part of the PBS
Engineering and Environmental Inc. (PBS) letter proposal outlining PBS' specific scope of services ( "PBS Proposal "). Hereafter the PBS
Proposal once signed by both PBS and Client (together the "Parties ") and these Terms and Conditions shall be read and interpreted
together and referred to together as the "Agreement" between the Parties. If there are any inconsistencies between language in the
PBS Proposal and in these Terms and Conditions, the language of these Terms and Conditions shall prevail.
The purpose of these Terms and Conditions is to identify basic contractual obligations of PBS and Client under the Agreement for
Phase I ESA consulting services, whereby PBS would be acting in the role of Consultant/Owner Representative for Client. Individual
projects may require additional detailed descriptions of services and associated Terms and Conditions, to be provided in subsequent
PBS Proposals.
1. RIGHT OF ENTRY: Unless otherwise agreed, the Client will furnish PBS right -of -entry on real property and be responsible for the
propriety of the time, place, and manner of PBS' entry upon the real property and any buildings or structures where PBS is to
perform its services ( "Property "). PBS will take reasonable precautions to minimize damage to the Property from use of equipment,
but PBS has not included in the fee the cost of restoration of the Property, unless specifically included in the Proposal, If the Client
desires PBS to restore the Property to its approximate former condition, PBS will accomplish this and add the cost plus 15 percent
to its fee.
2. WORKER'S COMPENSATION INSURANCE AND LIABILITY INSURANCE: PBS will provide Worker's Compensation insurance

C. Laboratory. PBS utilizes both in -house and outside laboratories for sample analysis. PBS maintains a list of standard rates for
sample analyses commonly utilized in conjunction with PBS' services (available upon request).
9. OTHER PROVISIONS: Neither party shall hold the other responsible for delay in performance caused by acts of God, strikes,
lockouts, weather, accidents or other events beyond the control of the other or the other's employees and agents. Waiver by one
party of any provision, term, condition or covenant owed to it by the other party is to be made only by providing written notice to the
other party and such waiver shall not be construed by the first party as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same provision,
term, condition or covenant by the other party. This Agreement supersedes any contract language which may be issued by Client
as a matter of standard purchasing protocol without regard to the unique nature of professional services to be rendered by PBS.
An opinion of construction, remediation and restoration costs prepared by PBS represents its judgment as a professional. Since
PBS has no control over the cost of labor and material, or over competitive bidding or market conditions, PBS does not guarantee
the accuracy of its opinion as compared to contractor bids of actual cost to the Client.
It is understood and agreed by both parties that PBS, in performing professional services for the Client with respect to hazardous
or microbial substances, will make recommendations to the Client but does not have the authority or responsibility to decide where
disposal or treatment of such substances takes place, nor to designate how or by whom the hazardous or microbial substances are
to be transported for disposal or treatment. It is understood that PBS is not the generator or site operator and does not own nor is it
the arranger for disposal of the hazardous waste or other materials discovered, handled or removed from the Property. To the
extent required by law, Client agrees to provide timely disclosure to appropriate public agencies of any information regarding the
Property (obtained from PBS or from other sources) where such disclosure may be necessary to prevent damage to human health,
safety, or the environment.
Client agrees that PBS and its subconsultants and subcontractors are not responsible for the creation of the condition(s) PBS is
being asked to investigate and that it would be unfair for PBS to be exposed to claims of injury or damage as a result of the
conditions. In addition, Client understands that it is possible that exploration and investigation may fail to reveal the presence,
location or source of the condition(s) being investigated even when the condition(s) is assumed or expected to exist. Client
understands that PBS' failure to discover and /or locate the condition(s) or the spread of the condition(s) through appropriate
techniques does not guarantee that the condition(s) does or does not exist. Client agrees that it would be unfair to hold PBS liable
for creating the condition(s) or the spread of the condition(s) providing PBS meets a reasonable standard of care in completing the
work set out in the PBS Proposal.
Accordingly, Client waives any claims against PBS and its subconsultants and subcontractors, and agrees to defend, indemnify
and hold harmless PBS and its subconsultants and subcontractors from any and all claims or liability for injury to person or
property or loss arising from the creation of the condition(s) or the unintentional exacerbation of the condition(s) by PBS, the
exacerbation of hazardous conditions by others, the discovery of any condition, location of any condition and /or allowing any
condition to exist. Client also agrees to fairly compensate PBS and its subconsultants and subcontractors for any time spent and
expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim.
Notwithstanding any provisions in the Agreement to the contrary, PBS' liability for all acts and omissions related to its provision of
services to Client under the terms of this Agreement shall be limited to $50,000, and in no circumstances shall such liability of PBS
include special or consequential damages.
PBS does not provide legal opinions, and recommends Client seek legal counsel for advice on issues such as the appropriateness
of a particular scope of work to minimize legal liability, reportability of a condition to a public agency, potential cost recovery from
responsible parties, and to assess the value of maintaining attorney /client privilege for work conducted under this Agreement.
In the event there is a dispute between PBS and the Client concerning the performance of any provision in this Agreement, the
losing party shall pay the prevailing party reasonable attorney's fees and costs in mediation, arbitration, trial or appeal. In addition,
Client agrees to pay PBS for all employee time, costs, and witness costs incurred for collection activity. This Agreement can be
terminated at any time by either party. If terminated prior to the completion of a scope of work, PBS shall be entitled to its portion of
fees for any work performed in accordance with its current rate schedule.

PBS Phase I ESA — Scope of Services
SCOPE OF SERVICES
AND
LIMITATIONS
The scope of services for this project includes a review of applicable environmental databases, a review of readily
available records to document the past and current uses of the subject property and adjoining properties,
interviews with persons with knowledge of the site, a site reconnaissance, and a final report summarizing PBS'
findings and conclusions.
PBS will provide the following specific scope of services for the property:
1. Initial Meeting: Meet or talk with the property owner or other key personnel to further discuss the project
and to obtain any information that may be relevant to the site or adjoining land. Interviews with past
owners, occupants, and operators of the site will also be conducted. An environmental questionnaire will
be submitted to the current owner for completion, as well as other persons identified as having specific
knowledge of the site.
• In order to qualify as AAI and meet ASTM E1527 -05 requirements, it is understood that the Client
will complete the Client (User) Questionnaire.
2. Agency File Check: Using a commercial database search provider, obtain a search of federal, state,
tribal, and local listings or records per ASTM E1527 -05 and AAI requirements, including Activity and Use
Limitations databases, to identify known hazardous substance violations, contaminant discharges and
other environmental problems for varying distances based upon their relative potential impact to the
subject property.
• PBS relies on readily available electronic database information whenever possible. A physical file
review may be undertaken if needed to resolve specific questions regarding the subject property
or adjoining properties. In the event that file review requires travel more than 30 miles from PBS'
nearest branch office, a travel time and mileage charge would be assessed.
• In the event in- person file review is deemed critical to assessment of the subject property, PBS
will schedule an appointment with the agency as soon as feasible. If the appointment date
requires an extension of the noted time frame for project completion, we will immediately discuss
this with the Client.
3. Geologic Research: Review available soils, geology, engineering, groundwater or other reports
regarding the property and the immediate vicinity.
4. Historical Review: Review aerial photographs of the site and adjacent property to assess previous site
conditions and operations (if available). Other historical information that may be reviewed includes
Sanborn fire maps, city directories, building permits, or property chain of title information or preliminary
title report (if provided by the Client) to determine history of usage. Whenever feasible, the history of the
property will be traced to 1940 or to a time prior to its earliest developed use, whichever is earlier.
5. Physical Inspection: An Environmental Professional (EP) or qualified staff working under the guidance
of an EP, will conduct one site visit, during which the property and any structures will be visually and /or
physically observed for potentially hazardous substances existing in the past or present. A field checklist
will be completed, and pertinent observations related to potential environmental conditions on the subject
property and the adjoining properties will be recorded. Interviews with the owner, previous owner, on -site
personnel, tenants and other persons familiar with the history of the area will be conducted, as necessary.
6. Report: A report will be prepared containing observations and conclusions relating to the apparent
environmental conditions of the site. The report will include a description of the site and conditions
encountered, topographic area map and local site and vicinity plan, and documentation of resources
PBS

SCOPE OF SERVICES
AND
LIMITATIONS
including interviews, regulatory and historic records reviewed, data gaps, opinion, and conclusions. As
required by ASTME 1527 -05, the content will include all documents that formed PBS' opinion. If
appropriate, recommendations will be made in the text of the report, unless PBS is directed
otherwise by the Client (See Checklist for option).
PBS Phase I ESA - Limitations
The purpose of this phase of the work is to determine if more in -depth studies are to be developed. Observations
will be made based on the best available information by trained professionals. It is not intended to be a
comprehensive determination of all potential liabilities associated with a particular property, nor is it represented
as a legal opinion as to the Client's performance of "due diligence" concerning the purchase of real estate. Unless
otherwise specified, the scope of services does not include a review /opinion of legal instruments such as
indemnification agreements, purchase and sale agreements, liens, and etc. Its cursory nature is to be noted by all
parties.
Unless noted elsewhere in this proposal, the scope of services for the project does not address a number of
potentially significant environmental issues including, but not limited to, hazardous materials audit, environmental
compliance; vapor encroachment assessment per ASTM standard E2600 -10, formaldehyde or radon; asbestos -
containing building materials, lead -based paint, mold, wetlands and other and use issues, drinking water quality,
geotechnical or geologic hazards, nor does it include subsurface exploration or chemical screening of soil and
groundwater beneath the site.
It is standard practice in the industry to use a commercial database search provider to meet the database search
requirements of the ASTM Method. Although PBS reviews their work, the database provider's report is subject to
the limitations, constraints, inaccuracies, and incompleteness of government information and of computer
mapping data and conventions; and any disclaimer of liability made in the database report. The database report is
included in an Appendix to the PBS report.
The findings and conclusions of the report are not scientific certainties, but rather are probabilities based on
professional judgment concerning the significance of the data gathered during the course of the study. PBS is not
able to represent that the subject property or adjoining land contain no hazardous substances, oil or other latent
condition beyond that detected or observed by PBS during the study. The possibility always exists for
contaminants to migrate undetected through surface water, air, soil, or groundwater. The ability to accurately
address the environmental risk associated with transport in these media is beyond the scope of this study.

PHASE I ESA: GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
These General Terms and Conditions for Professional Services ( "Terms and Conditions ") are attached to and made part of the PBS
Engineering and Environmental Inc. (PBS) letter proposal outlining PBS' specific scope of services ( "PBS Proposal "). Hereafter the PBS
Proposal once signed by both PBS and Client (together the "Parties ") and these Terms and Conditions shall be read and interpreted
together and referred to together as the "Agreement" between the Parties. If there are any inconsistencies between language in the
PBS Proposal and in these Terms and Conditions, the language of these Terms and Conditions shall prevail.
The purpose of these Terms and Conditions is to identify basic contractual obligations of PBS and Client under the Agreement for
Phase I ESA consulting services, whereby PBS would be acting in the role of Consultant/Owner Representative for Client. Individual
projects may require additional detailed descriptions of services and associated Terms and Conditions, to be provided in subsequent
PBS Proposals.
1. RIGHT OF ENTRY: Unless otherwise agreed, the Client will furnish PBS right -of -entry on real property and be responsible for the
propriety of the time, place, and manner of PBS' entry upon the real property and any buildings or structures where PBS is to
perform its services ( "Property "). PBS will take reasonable precautions to minimize damage to the Property from use of equipment,
but PBS has not included in the fee the cost of restoration of the Property, unless specifically included in the Proposal. If the Client
desires PBS to restore the Property to its approximate former condition, PBS will accomplish this and add the cost plus 15 percent
to its fee.
2. WORKER'S COMPENSATION INSURANCE AND LIABILITY INSURANCE: PBS will provide Worker's Compensation insurance
(and /or Employer's Liability insurance) as required by state statutes. PBS carries Comprehensive General Liability insurance
which, subject to its terms and limits, may provide protection against liability relating to bodily injury or property damage arising out
of PBS operations. PBS makes no representations or warranties concerning the effect, applicability or scope of such insurance.
Upon request in writing by Client to PBS, PBS will request its insurer to name Client as an additional insured on such policies and
to issue certificates to Client to that effect. PBS makes no representations or warranties regarding any act by its insurer(s) and
shall not be responsible for performing any act with respect to such insurance not specifically called for by this paragraph.
3. PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY AND LIMITATION THEREOF: This paragraph relates only to Professional Liability and not General
Liability. In performing its professional services, PBS will use that standard of care and skill ordinarily recognized under similar
circumstances by members of its profession in the state and region at the time the services are performed. No other warranty,
either expressed or implied, is made in connection with its rendering of professional services.

encompassed in the specific scope of work in this Agreement agreed to by PBS and Client. Any unauthorized use or distribution of
PBS' work shall be at the Client and recipient's sole risk. If Client desires to release, or for PBS to provide, PBS' report(s) to a third
party not a party to this Agreement for that party's reliance, PBS will agree to such a release provided PBS receives written
acceptance from such third party to be bound by terms and conditions similar to those set forth in this Agreement, in addition to a
fee for providing PBS reports to a new party. The Client shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless PBS and its subconsultants and
subcontractors from any claims, damages, costs, losses and expenses, including but not limited to attorney fees and costs of
arbitrations, mediations, trials, or appeals arising out of unauthorized or third party use of PBS' reports.
5. RETENTION OF RECORDS AND SAMPLES: PBS will retain all Phase I ESA project records for a period of 10 years after
completion of the scope of work, unless the Client indicates otherwise. Any material samples that have been collected will be
discarded 30 days after submission of PBS' final report unless other arrangements are made.
6. PAYMENTS TO CONSULTANT: Invoices will be submitted periodically for prior services. An account will become delinquent 30
days after date of billing. It is agreed that a late charge will be added to delinquent accounts at the rate of one - and - one -half percent
(1 -1/2 %) for each thirty days delinquent (provided the rate of such late charge shall not exceed the maximum allowable by the laws
of the state in which the PBS office submitting the invoice is located).
7. RATE SCHEDULE: Generally PBS' Phase I ESA services are billed on a flat fee basis. Time and materials fees for services are
based on the number of hours expended on the project, including travel, by PBS personnel plus any reimbursable expenses. PBS'
hourly rates will be billed as stated in its proposal or at its current hourly rates (available upon request). Invoices will include sales
tax when required.

sample analyses commonly utilized in conjunction with PBS' services (available upon request).
9. OTHER PROVISIONS: Neither party shall hold the other responsible for delay in performance caused by acts of God, strikes,
lockouts, weather, accidents or other events beyond the control of the other or the other's employees and agents. Waiver by one
party of any provision, term, condition or covenant owed to it by the other party is to be made only by providing written notice to the
other party and such waiver shall not be construed by the first party as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same provision,
term, condition or covenant by the other party. This Agreement supersedes any contract language which may be issued by Client
as a matter of standard purchasing protocol without regard to the unique nature of professional services to be rendered by PBS.
An opinion of construction, remediation and restoration costs prepared by PBS represents its judgment as a professional. Since
PBS has no control over the cost of labor and material, or over competitive bidding or market conditions, PBS does not guarantee
the accuracy of its opinion as compared to contractor bids of actual cost to the Client.
It is understood and agreed by both parties that PBS, in performing professional services for the Client with respect to hazardous
or microbial substances, will make recommendations to the Client but does not have the authority or responsibility to decide where
disposal or treatment of such substances takes place, nor to designate how or by whom the hazardous or microbial substances are
to be transported for disposal or treatment. It is understood that PBS is not the generator or site operator and does not own nor is it
the arranger for disposal of the hazardous waste or other materials discovered, handled or removed from the Property. To the
extent required by law, Client agrees to provide timely disclosure to appropriate public agencies of any information regarding the
Property (obtained from PBS or from other sources) where such disclosure may be necessary to prevent damage to human health,
safety, or the environment.
Client agrees that PBS and its subconsultants and subcontractors are not responsible for the creation of the condition(s) PBS is
being asked to investigate and that it would be unfair for PBS to be exposed to claims of injury or damage as a result of the
conditions. In addition, Client understands that it is possible that exploration and investigation may fail to reveal the presence,
location or source of the condition(s) being investigated even when the condition(s) is assumed or expected to exist. Client
understands that PBS' failure to discover and /or locate the condition(s) or the spread of the condition(s) through appropriate
techniques does not guarantee that the condition(s) does or does not exist. Client agrees that it would be unfair to hold PBS liable
for creating the condition(s) or the spread of the condition(s) providing PBS meets a reasonable standard of care in completing the
work set out in the PBS Proposal.
Accordingly, Client waives any claims against PBS and its subconsultants and subcontractors, and agrees to defend, indemnify
and hold harmless PBS and its subconsultants and subcontractors from any and all claims or liability for injury to person or
property or loss arising from the creation of the condition(s) or the unintentional exacerbation of the condition(s) by PBS, the
exacerbation of hazardous conditions by others, the discovery of any condition, location of any condition and /or allowing any
condition to exist. Client also agrees to fairly compensate PBS and its subconsultants and subcontractors for any time spent and
expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim.
Notwithstanding any provisions in the Agreement to the contrary, PBS' liability for all acts and omissions related to its provision of
services to Client under the terms of this Agreement shall be limited to $50,000, and in no circumstances shall such liability of PBS
include special or consequential damages.
PBS does not provide legal opinions, and recommends Client seek legal counsel for advice on issues such as the appropriateness
of a particular scope of work to minimize legal liability, reportability of a condition to a public agency, potential cost recovery from
responsible parties, and to assess the value of maintaining attorney /client privilege for work conducted under this Agreement.
In the event there is a dispute between PBS and the Client concerning the performance of any provision in this Agreement, the
losing party shall pay the prevailing party reasonable attorney's fees and costs in mediation, arbitration, trial or appeal. In addition,
Client agrees to pay PBS for all employee time, costs, and witness costs incurred for collection activity. This Agreement can be
terminated at any time by either party. If terminated prior to the completion of a scope of work, PBS shall be entitled to its portion of
fees for any work performed in accordance with its current rate schedule.

PBS Phase I ESA — Scope of Services
SCOPE OF SERVICES
AND
LIMITATIONS
The scope of services for this project includes a review of applicable environmental databases, a review of readily
available records to document the past and current uses of the subject property and adjoining properties,
interviews with persons with knowledge of the site, a site reconnaissance, and a final report summarizing PBS'
findings and conclusions.
PBS will provide the following specific scope of services for the property:
1. Initial Meeting: Meet or talk with the property owner or other key personnel to further discuss the project
and to obtain any information that may be relevant to the site or adjoining land. Interviews with past
owners, occupants, and operators of the site will also be conducted. An environmental questionnaire will
be submitted to the current owner for completion, as well as other persons identified as having specific
knowledge of the site.
• In order to qualify as AAI and meet ASTM E1527 -05 requirements, it is understood that the Client
will complete the Client (User) Questionnaire.
2. Agency File Check: Using a commercial database search provider, obtain a search of federal, state,
tribal, and local listings or records per ASTM E1527 -05 and AAI requirements, including Activity and Use
Limitations databases, to identify known hazardous substance violations, contaminant discharges and
other environmental problems for varying distances based upon their relative potential impact to the
subject property.
• PBS relies on readily available electronic database information whenever possible. A physical file
review may be undertaken if needed to resolve specific questions regarding the subject property
or adjoining properties. In the event that file review requires travel more than 30 miles from PBS'
nearest branch office, a travel time and mileage charge would be assessed.
• In the event in- person file review is deemed critical to assessment of the subject property, PBS
will schedule an appointment with the agency as soon as feasible. If the appointment date
requires an extension of the noted time frame for project completion, we will immediately discuss
this with the Client.
3. Geologic Research: Review available soils, geology, engineering, groundwater or other reports
regarding the property and the immediate vicinity.
4. Historical Review: Review aerial photographs of the site and adjacent property to assess previous site
conditions and operations (if available). Other historical information that may be reviewed includes
Sanborn fire maps, city directories, building permits, or property chain of title information or preliminary
title report (if provided by the Client) to determine history of usage. Whenever feasible, the history of the
property will be traced to 1940 or to a time prior to its earliest developed use, whichever is earlier.
5. Physical Inspection: An Environmental Professional (EP) or qualified staff working under the guidance
of an EP, will conduct one site visit, during which the property and any structures will be visually and /or
physically observed for potentially hazardous substances existing in the past or present. A field checklist
will be completed, and pertinent observations related to potential environmental conditions on the subject
property and the adjoining properties will be recorded. Interviews with the owner, previous owner, on -site
personnel, tenants and other persons familiar with the history of the area will be conducted, as necessary.
6. Report: A report will be prepared containing observations and conclusions relating to the apparent
environmental conditions of the site. The report will include a description of the site and conditions
encountered, topographic area map and local site and vicinity plan, and documentation of resources

SCOPE OF SERVICES
AND
LIMITATIONS
including interviews, regulatory and historic records reviewed, data gaps, opinion, and conclusions. As
required by ASTME 1527 -05, the content will include all documents that formed PBS' opinion. If
appropriate, recommendations will be made in the text of the report, unless PBS is directed
otherwise by the Client (See Checklist for option).
PBS Phase I ESA - Limitations
The purpose of this phase of the work is to determine if more in -depth studies are to be developed. Observations
will be made based on the best available information by trained professionals. It is not intended to be a
comprehensive determination of all potential liabilities associated with a particular property, nor is it represented
as a legal opinion as to the Client's performance of "due diligence" concerning the purchase of real estate. Unless
otherwise specified, the scope of services does not include a review /opinion of legal instruments such as
indemnification agreements, purchase and sale agreements, liens, and etc. Its cursory nature is to be noted by all
parties.
Unless noted elsewhere in this proposal, the scope of services for the project does not address a number of
potentially significant environmental issues including, but not limited to, hazardous materials audit, environmental
compliance; vapor encroachment assessment per ASTM standard E2600 -10, formaldehyde or radon; asbestos -
containing building materials, lead -based paint, mold, wetlands and other land use issues, drinking water quality,
geotechnical or geologic hazards, nor does it include subsurface exploration or chemical screening of soil and
groundwater beneath the site.
It is standard practice in the industry to use a commercial database search provider to meet the database search
requirements of the ASTM Method. Although PBS reviews their work, the database provider's report is subject to
the limitations, constraints, inaccuracies, and incompleteness of government information and of computer
mapping data and conventions; and any disclaimer of liability made in the database report. The database report is
included in an Appendix to the PBS report.
The findings and conclusions of the report are not scientific certainties, but rather are probabilities based on
professional judgment concerning the significance of the data gathered during the course of the study. PBS is not
able to represent that the subject property or adjoining land contain no hazardous substances, oil or other latent
condition beyond that detected or observed by PBS during the study. The possibility always exists for
contaminants to migrate undetected through surface water, air, soil, or groundwater. The ability to accurately
address the environmental risk associated with transport in these media is beyond the scope of this study.

PHASE I ESA: GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
These General Terms and Conditions for Professional Services ( "Terms and Conditions ") are attached to and made part of the PBS
Engineering and Environmental Inc. (PBS) letter proposal outlining PBS' specific scope of services ( "PBS Proposal "). Hereafter the PBS
Proposal once signed by both PBS and Client (together the "Parties ") and these Terms and Conditions shall be read and interpreted
together and referred to together as the "Agreement" between the Parties. If there are any inconsistencies between language in the
PBS Proposal and in these Terms and Conditions, the language of these Terms and Conditions shall prevail.
The purpose of these Terms and Conditions is to identify basic contractual obligations of PBS and Client under the Agreement for
Phase 1 ESA consulting services, whereby PBS would be acting in the role of Consultant/Owner Representative for Client. Individual
projects may require additional detailed descriptions of services and associated Terms and Conditions, to be provided in subsequent
PBS Proposals.
1. RIGHT OF ENTRY: Unless otherwise agreed, the Client will furnish PBS right -of -entry on real property and be responsible for the
propriety of the time, place, and manner of PBS' entry upon the real property and any buildings or structures where PBS is to
perform its services ( "Property "). PBS will take reasonable precautions to minimize damage to the Property from use of equipment,
but PBS has not included in the fee the cost of restoration of the Property, unless specifically included in the Proposal. If the Client
desires PBS to restore the Property to its approximate former condition, PBS will accomplish this and add the cost plus 15 percent
to its fee.
2. WORKER'S COMPENSATION INSURANCE AND LIABILITY INSURANCE: PBS will provide Worker's Compensation insurance
(and /or Employer's Liability insurance) as required by state statutes. PBS carries Comprehensive General Liability insurance
which, subject to its terms and limits, may provide protection against liability relating to bodily injury or property damage arising out
of PBS operations. PBS makes no representations or warranties concerning the effect, applicability or scope of such insurance.
Upon request in writing by Client to PBS, PBS will request its insurer to name Client as an additional insured on such policies and
to issue certificates to Client to that effect. PBS makes no representations or warranties regarding any act by its insurer(s) and
shall not be responsible for performing any act with respect to such insurance not specifically called for by this paragraph.
3. PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY AND LIMITATION THEREOF: This paragraph relates only to Professional Liability and not General
Liability. In performing its professional services, PBS will use that standard of care and skill ordinarily recognized under similar
circumstances by members of its profession in the state and region at the time the services are performed. No other warranty,
either expressed or implied, is made in connection with its rendering of professional services.
4. CONTRACTED WORK: PBS, including its subconsultants and subcontractors, is retained hereunder for the limited purpose of
performing certain environmental surveys, providing the results of such surveys to Client, and making recommendations with
respect to the data produced by the surveys. PBS is not responsible for the health and safety of Client's personnel or other persons
present on the Property to be investigated. PBS is not responsible (a) for the overall environmental status of Client's project, (b) for
the property Client owns or leases or may be interested in purchasing or leasing, (c) for the interpretation of the PBS report results
by others, (d) for any use of PBS reports by Client or others except as specifically set forth herein, or (e) for any other matter not
encompassed in the specific scope of work in this Agreement agreed to by PBS and Client. Any unauthorized use or distribution of
PBS' work shall be at the Client and recipient's sole risk. If Client desires to release, or for PBS to provide, PBS' report(s) to a third
party not a party to this Agreement for that party's reliance, PBS will agree to such a release provided PBS receives written
acceptance from such third party to be bound by terms and conditions similar to those set forth in this Agreement, in addition to a
fee for providing PBS reports to a new party. The Client shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless PBS and its subconsultants and
subcontractors from any claims, damages, costs, losses and expenses, including but not limited to attorney fees and costs of
arbitrations, mediations, trials, or appeals arising out of unauthorized or third party use of PBS' reports.
5. RETENTION OF RECORDS AND SAMPLES: PBS will retain all Phase I ESA project records for a period of 10 years after
completion of the scope of work, unless the Client indicates otherwise. Any material samples that have been collected will be
discarded 30 days after submission of PBS' final report unless other arrangements are made.
6. PAYMENTS TO CONSULTANT: Invoices will be submitted periodically for prior services. An account will become delinquent 30
days after date of billing. It is agreed that a late charge will be added to delinquent accounts at the rate of one - and - one -half percent
(1 -1/2 %) for each thirty days delinquent (provided the rate of such late charge shall not exceed the maximum allowable by the laws
of the state in which the PBS office submitting the invoice is located).
7. RATE SCHEDULE: Generally PBS' Phase I ESA services are billed on a flat fee basis. Time and materials fees for services are
based on the number of hours expended on the project, including travel, by PBS personnel plus any reimbursable expenses. PBS'
hourly rates will be billed as stated in its proposal or at its current hourly rates (available upon request). Invoices will include sales
tax when required.

8. REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES:
A. ESA - Related Outside Services. Subcontracted services such as those subconsultants and subcontractors, labor, and
technical services will be invoiced at cost plus 15 percent. Examples of services that may be subcontracted include other
professional disciplines, laboratory analysis, geophysical surveys, commercial database search providers, or computer
programming.
B. Supplies and Equipment. Charges for items not ordinarily furnished by PBS such as expendable equipment, rental equipment,
subsistence, travel expenses, tolls, special fees, reproduction, permits, licenses, priority mail fees, and long distance and
wireless telephone calls will be invoiced at cost plus 10 %. Certain PBS -owned equipment (for sampling, testing, personal
protective equipment, vehicle mileage, photocopying, etc.) may be required to complete the project. These will be invoiced at
PBS' standard rates without markup (rates available upon request).
C. Laboratory. PBS utilizes both in -house and outside laboratories for sample analysis. PBS maintains a list of standard rates for
sample analyses commonly utilized in conjunction with PBS' services (available upon request).
9. OTHER PROVISIONS: Neither party shall hold the other responsible for delay in performance caused by acts of God, strikes,
lockouts, weather, accidents or other events beyond the control of the other or the other's employees and agents. Waiver by one
party of any provision, term, condition or covenant owed to it by the other party is to be made only by providing written notice to the
other party and such waiver shall not be construed by the first party as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same provision,
term, condition or covenant by the other party. This Agreement supersedes any contract language which may be issued by Client
as a matter of standard purchasing protocol without regard to the unique nature of professional services to be rendered by PBS.
An opinion of construction, remediation and restoration costs prepared by PBS represents its judgment as a professional. Since
PBS has no control over the cost of labor and material, or over competitive bidding or market conditions, PBS does not guarantee
the accuracy of its opinion as compared to contractor bids of actual cost to the Client.
It is understood and agreed by both parties that PBS, in performing professional services for the Client with respect to hazardous
or microbial substances, will make recommendations to the Client but does not have the authority or responsibility to decide where
disposal or treatment of such substances takes place, nor to designate how or by whom the hazardous or microbial substances are
to be transported for disposal or treatment. It is understood that PBS is not the generator or site operator and does not own nor is it
the arranger for disposal of the hazardous waste or other materials discovered, handled or removed from the Property. To the
extent required by law, Client agrees to provide timely disclosure to appropriate public agencies of any information regarding the
Property (obtained from PBS or from other sources) where such disclosure may be necessary to prevent damage to human health,
safety, or the environment.
Client agrees that PBS and its subconsultants and subcontractors are not responsible for the creation of the condition(s) PBS is
being asked to investigate and that it would be unfair for PBS to be exposed to claims of injury or damage as a result of the
conditions. In addition, Client understands that it is possible that exploration and investigation may fail to reveal the presence,
location or source of the condition(s) being investigated even when the condition(s) is assumed or expected to exist. Client
understands that PBS' failure to discover and /or locate the condition(s) or the spread of the condition(s) through appropriate
techniques does not guarantee that the condition(s) does or does not exist. Client agrees that it would be unfair to hold PBS liable
for creating the condition(s) or the spread of the condition(s) providing PBS meets a reasonable standard of care in completing the
work set out in the PBS Proposal.
Accordingly, Client waives any claims against PBS and its subconsultants and subcontractors, and agrees to defend, indemnify
and hold harmless PBS and its subconsultants and subcontractors from any and all claims or liability for injury to person or
property or loss arising from the creation of the condition(s) or the unintentional exacerbation of the condition(s) by PBS, the
exacerbation of hazardous conditions by others, the discovery of any condition, location of any condition and /or allowing any
condition to exist. Client also agrees to fairly compensate PBS and its subconsultants and subcontractors for any time spent and
expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim.
Notwithstanding any provisions in the Agreement to the contrary, PBS' liability for all acts and omissions related to its provision of
services to Client under the terms of this Agreement shall be limited to $50,000, and in no circumstances shall such liability of PBS
include special or consequential damages.
PBS does not provide legal opinions, and recommends Client seek legal counsel for advice on issues such as the appropriateness
of a particular scope of work to minimize legal liability, reportability of a condition to a public agency, potential cost recovery from
responsible parties, and to assess the value of maintaining attorney /client privilege for work conducted under this Agreement.
In the event there is a dispute between PBS and the Client concerning the performance of any provision in this Agreement, the
losing party shall pay the prevailing party reasonable attorney's fees and costs in mediation, arbitration, trial or appeal. In addition,
Client agrees to pay PBS for all employee time, costs, and witness costs incurred for collection activity. This Agreement can be
terminated at any time by either party. If terminated prior to the completion of a scope of work, PBS shall be entitled to its portion of
fees for any work performed in accordance with its current rate schedule.

Dear Cusick:
PBS Engineering and Environmental Inc. (PBS) is pleased to submit this proposal (PBS Proposal) to provide
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) services for the above - referenced property. It is understood that
the subject property consists of one tax parcel and is occupied by a commercial building known as Sam's Smoke
Shop. The following scope of services and compensation are based on PBS' understanding of current structures,
site conditions, and usage.
PROJECT APPROACH
The scope of services follows requirements of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA's) All
Appropriate Inquiries (AAI) Rule, effective November 2006, to establish protection from CERCLA liability for
innocent landowners, bona fide prospective purchasers, and contiguous property owners. This scope will also
follow ASTM Standard E1527 -05 Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental
Site Assessment Process, which the EPA approves as meeting AAI requirements.
PBS investigators meet the Environmental Professional criteria, and bring many years of diverse experience to
this project.
A more detailed scope of services is provided as an attachment to this proposal. Please review this section
carefully.
COMPENSATION
• Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (Flat Fee) $ 3,000
The cost of reproduction, disposable equipment, mileage and postage are included in the above lump sum. One
PDF and /or CD containing the final report will be provided. See Checklist option if a hard copy is desired.
This estimate includes the following assumptions:
• Cost for title report or chain of title report is not included.
• Report revisions or amendments after the report is finalized, as a result of information not available to
PBS during the project, will be charged on a time and material fee scale.

1. Initial Meeting: Meet or talk with the property owner or other key personnel to further discuss the project
and to obtain any information that may be relevant to the site or adjoining land. Interviews with past
owners, occupants, and operators of the site will also be conducted. An environmental questionnaire will
be submitted to the current owner for completion, as well as other persons identified as having specific
knowledge of the site.
• In order to qualify as AAI and meet ASTM E1527 -05 requirements, it is understood that the Client
will complete the Client (User) Questionnaire.
2. Agency File Check: Using a commercial database search provider, obtain a search of federal, state,
tribal, and local listings or records per ASTM E1527 -05 and AAI requirements, including Activity and Use
Limitations databases, to identify known hazardous substance violations, contaminant discharges and
other environmental problems for varying distances based upon their relative potential impact to the
subject property.
• PBS relies on readily available electronic database information whenever possible. A physical file
review may be undertaken if needed to resolve specific questions regarding the subject property
or adjoining properties. In the event that file review requires travel more than 30 miles from PBS'
nearest branch office, a travel time and mileage charge would be assessed.
• In the event in- person file review is deemed critical to assessment of the subject property, PBS
will schedule an appointment with the agency as soon as feasible. If the appointment date
requires an extension of the noted time frame for project completion, we will immediately discuss
this with the Client.
3. Geologic Research: Review available soils, geology, engineering, groundwater or other reports
regarding the property and the immediate vicinity.
4. Historical Review: Review aerial photographs of the site and adjacent property to assess previous site
conditions and operations (if available). Other historical information that may be reviewed includes
Sanborn fire maps, city directories, building permits, or property chain of title information or preliminary
title report (if provided by the Client) to determine history of usage. Whenever feasible, the history of the
property will be traced to 1940 or to a time prior to its earliest developed use, whichever is earlier.
5. Physical Inspection: An Environmental Professional (EP) or qualified staff working under the guidance
of an EP, will conduct one site visit, during which the property and any structures will be visually and /or
physically observed for potentially hazardous substances existing in the past or present. A field checklist
will be completed, and pertinent observations related to potential environmental conditions on the subject
property and the adjoining properties will be recorded. Interviews with the owner, previous owner, on -site
personnel, tenants and other persons familiar with the history of the area will be conducted, as necessary.
6. Report: A report will be prepared containing observations and conclusions relating to the apparent
environmental conditions of the site. The report will include a description of the site and conditions
encountered, topographic area map and local site and vicinity plan, and documentation of resources

SCOPE OF SERVICES
AND
LIMITATIONS
including interviews, regulatory and historic records reviewed, data gaps, opinion, and conclusions. As
required by ASTME 1527 -05, the content will include all documents that formed PBS' opinion. If
appropriate, recommendations will be made in the text of the report, unless PBS is directed
otherwise by the Client (See Checklist for option).
PBS Phase I ESA - Limitations
The purpose of this phase of the work is to determine if more in -depth studies are to be developed. Observations
will be made based on the best available information by trained professionals. It is not intended to be a
comprehensive determination of all potential liabilities associated with a particular property, nor is it represented
as a legal opinion as to the Client's performance of "due diligence" concerning the purchase of real estate. Unless
otherwise specified, the scope of services does not include a review /opinion of legal instruments such as
indemnification agreements, purchase and sale agreements, liens, and etc. Its cursory nature is to be noted by all
parties.
Unless noted elsewhere in this proposal, the scope of services for the project does not address a number of
potentially significant environmental issues including, but not limited to, hazardous materials audit, environmental
compliance; vapor encroachment assessment per ASTM standard E2600 -10, formaldehyde or radon; asbestos -
containing building materials, lead -based paint, mold, wetlands and other land use issues, drinking water quality,
geotechnical or geologic hazards, nor does it include subsurface exploration or chemical screening of soil and
groundwater beneath the site.
It is standard practice in the industry to use a commercial database search provider to meet the database search
requirements of the ASTM Method. Although PBS reviews their work, the database provider's report is subject to
the limitations, constraints, inaccuracies, and incompleteness of government information and of computer
mapping data and conventions; and any disclaimer of liability made in the database report. The database report is
included in an Appendix to the PBS report.
The findings and conclusions of the report are not scientific certainties, but rather are probabilities based on
professional judgment concerning the significance of the data gathered during the course of the study. PBS is not
able to represent that the subject property or adjoining land contain no hazardous substances, oil or other latent
condition beyond that detected or observed by PBS during the study. The possibility always exists for
contaminants to migrate undetected through surface water, air, soil, or groundwater. The ability to accurately
address the environmental risk associated with transport in these media is beyond the scope of this study.

PHASE I ESA: GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
These General Terms and Conditions for Professional Services ( "Terms and Conditions ") are attached to and made part of the PBS
Engineering and Environmental Inc. (PBS) letter proposal outlining PBS' specific scope of services ( "PBS Proposal "). Hereafter the PBS
Proposal once signed by both PBS and Client (together the "Parties ") and these Terms and Conditions shall be read and interpreted
together and referred to together as the "Agreement" between the Parties. If there are any inconsistencies between language in the
PBS Proposal and in these Terms and Conditions, the language of these Terms and Conditions shall prevail.
The purpose of these Terms and Conditions is to identify basic contractual obligations of PBS and Client under the Agreement for
Phase I ESA consulting services, whereby PBS would be acting in the role of Consultant/Owner Representative for Client. Individual
projects may require additional detailed descriptions of services and associated Terms and Conditions, to be provided in subsequent
PBS Proposals.
1. RIGHT OF ENTRY: Unless otherwise agreed, the Client will furnish PBS right -of -entry on real property and be responsible for the
propriety of the time, place, and manner of PBS' entry upon the real property and any buildings or structures where PBS is to
perform its services ( "Property "). PBS will take reasonable precautions to minimize damage to the Property from use of equipment,
but PBS has not included in the fee the cost of restoration of the Property, unless specifically included in the Proposal. If the Client
desires PBS to restore the Property to its approximate former condition, PBS will accomplish this and add the cost plus 15 percent
to its fee.
2. WORKER'S COMPENSATION INSURANCE AND LIABILITY INSURANCE: PBS will provide Worker's Compensation insurance
(and /or Employer's Liability insurance) as required by state statutes. PBS carries Comprehensive General Liability insurance
which, subject to its terms and limits, may provide protection against liability relating to bodily injury or property damage arising out
of PBS operations. PBS makes no representations or warranties concerning the effect, applicability or scope of such insurance.
Upon request in writing by Client to PBS, PBS will request its insurer to name Client as an additional insured on such policies and
to issue certificates to Client to that effect. PBS makes no representations or warranties regarding any act by its insurer(s) and
shall not be responsible for performing any act with respect to such insurance not specifically called for by this paragraph.
3. PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY AND LIMITATION THEREOF: This paragraph relates only to Professional Liability and not General
Liability. In performing its professional services, PBS will use that standard of care and skill ordinarily recognized under similar
circumstances by members of its profession in the state and region at the time the services are performed. No other warranty,
either expressed or implied, is made in connection with its rendering of professional services.
4. CONTRACTED WORK: PBS, including its subconsultants and subcontractors, is retained hereunder for the limited purpose of
performing certain environmental surveys, providing the results of such surveys to Client, and making recommendations with
respect to the data produced by the surveys. PBS is not responsible for the health and safety of Client's personnel or other persons
present on the Property to be investigated. PBS is not responsible (a) for the overall environmental status of Client's project, (b) for
the property Client owns or leases or may be interested in purchasing or leasing, (c) for the interpretation of the PBS report results
by others, (d) for any use of PBS reports by Client or others except as specifically set forth herein, or (e) for any other matter not
encompassed in the specific scope of work in this Agreement agreed to by PBS and Client. Any unauthorized use or distribution of
PBS' work shall be at the Client and recipient's sole risk. If Client desires to release, or for PBS to provide, PBS' report(s) to a third
party not a party to this Agreement for that party's reliance, PBS will agree to such a release provided PBS receives written
acceptance from such third party to be bound by terms and conditions similar to those set forth in this Agreement, in addition to a
fee for providing PBS reports to a new party. The Client shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless PBS and its subconsultants and
subcontractors from any claims, damages, costs, losses and expenses, including but not limited to attorney fees and costs of
arbitrations, mediations, trials, or appeals arising out of unauthorized or third party use of PBS' reports.
5. RETENTION OF RECORDS AND SAMPLES: PBS will retain all Phase I ESA project records for a period of 10 years after
completion of the scope of work, unless the Client indicates otherwise. Any material samples that have been collected will be
discarded 30 days after submission of PBS' final report unless other arrangements are made.
6. PAYMENTS TO CONSULTANT: Invoices will be submitted periodically for prior services. An account will become delinquent 30
days after date of billing. It is agreed that a late charge will be added to delinquent accounts at the rate of one - and - one -half percent
(1 -1/2 %) for each thirty days delinquent (provided the rate of such late charge shall not exceed the maximum allowable by the laws
of the state in which the PBS office submitting the invoice is located).
7. RATE SCHEDULE: Generally PBS' Phase I ESA services are billed on a flat fee basis. Time and materials fees for services are
based on the number of hours expended on the project, including travel, by PBS personnel plus any reimbursable expenses. PBS'
hourly rates will be billed as stated in its proposal or at its current hourly rates (available upon request). Invoices will include sales
tax when required.

8. REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES:
A. ESA - Related Outside Services. Subcontracted services such as those subconsultants and subcontractors, labor, and
technical services will be invoiced at cost plus 15 percent. Examples of services that may be subcontracted include other
professional disciplines, laboratory analysis, geophysical surveys, commercial database search providers, or computer
programming.
B. Supplies and Equipment. Charges for items not ordinarily furnished by PBS such as expendable equipment, rental equipment,
subsistence, travel expenses, tolls, special fees, reproduction, permits, licenses, priority mail fees, and long distance and
wireless telephone calls will be invoiced at cost plus 10 %. Certain PBS -owned equipment (for sampling, testing, personal
protective equipment, vehicle mileage, photocopying, etc.) may be required to complete the project. These will be invoiced at
PBS' standard rates without markup (rates available upon request).
C. Laboratory. PBS utilizes both in -house and outside laboratories for sample analysis. PBS maintains a list of standard rates for
sample analyses commonly utilized in conjunction with PBS' services (available upon request).
9. OTHER PROVISIONS: Neither party shall hold the other responsible for delay in performance caused by acts of God, strikes,
lockouts, weather, accidents or other events beyond the control of the other or the other's employees and agents. Waiver by one
party of any provision, term, condition or covenant owed to it by the other party is to be made only by providing written notice to the
other party and such waiver shall not be construed by the first party as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same provision,
term, condition or covenant by the other party. This Agreement supersedes any contract language which may be issued by Client
as a matter of standard purchasing protocol without regard to the unique nature of professional services to be rendered by PBS.
An opinion of construction, remediation and restoration costs prepared by PBS represents its judgment as a professional. Since
PBS has no control over the cost of labor and material, or over competitive bidding or market conditions, PBS does not guarantee
the accuracy of its opinion as compared to contractor bids of actual cost to the Client.
It is understood and agreed by both parties that PBS, in performing professional services for the Client with respect to hazardous
or microbial substances, will make recommendations to the Client but does not have the authority or responsibility to decide where
disposal or treatment of such substances takes place, nor to designate how or by whom the hazardous or microbial substances are
to be transported for disposal or treatment. It is understood that PBS is not the generator or site operator and does not own nor is it
the arranger for disposal of the hazardous waste or other materials discovered, handled or removed from the Property. To the
extent required by law, Client agrees to provide timely disclosure to appropriate public agencies of any information regarding the
Property (obtained from PBS or from other sources) where such disclosure may be necessary to prevent damage to human health,
safety, or the environment.
Client agrees that PBS and its subconsultants and subcontractors are not responsible for the creation of the condition(s) PBS is
being asked to investigate and that it would be unfair for PBS to be exposed to claims of injury or damage as a result of the
conditions. In addition, Client understands that it is possible that exploration and investigation may fail to reveal the presence,
location or source of the condition(s) being investigated even when the condition(s) is assumed or expected to exist. Client
understands that PBS' failure to discover and /or locate the condition(s) or the spread of the condition(s) through appropriate
techniques does not guarantee that the condition(s) does or does not exist. Client agrees that it would be unfair to hold PBS liable
for creating the condition(s) or the spread of the condition(s) providing PBS meets a reasonable standard of care in completing the
work set out in the PBS Proposal.
Accordingly, Client waives any claims against PBS and its subconsultants and subcontractors, and agrees to defend, indemnify
and hold harmless PBS and its subconsultants and subcontractors from any and all claims or liability for injury to person or
property or loss arising from the creation of the condition(s) or the unintentional exacerbation of the condition(s) by PBS, the
exacerbation of hazardous conditions by others, the discovery of any condition, location of any condition and /or allowing any
condition to exist. Client also agrees to fairly compensate PBS and its subconsultants and subcontractors for any time spent and
expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim.
Notwithstanding any provisions in the Agreement to the contrary, PBS' liability for all acts and omissions related to its provision of
services to Client under the terms of this Agreement shall be limited to $50,000, and in no circumstances shall such liability of PBS
include special or consequential damages.
PBS does not provide legal opinions, and recommends Client seek legal counsel for advice on issues such as the appropriateness
of a particular scope of work to minimize legal liability. reportability of a condition to a public agency, potential cost recovery from
responsible parties, and to assess the value of maintaining attorney /client privilege for work conducted under this Agreement.
In the event there is a dispute between PBS and the Client concerning the performance of any provision in this Agreement, the
losing party shall pay the prevailing party reasonable attorney's fees and costs in mediation, arbitration, trial or appeal. In addition,
Client agrees to pay PBS for all employee time, costs, and witness costs incurred for collection activity. This Agreement can be
terminated at any time by either party. If terminated prior to the completion of a scope of work, PBS shall be entitled to its portion of
fees for any work performed in accordance with its current rate schedule.
