Pipe Embedment: Trench excavation, subgrade preparation, bedding, pipe installation, and backfilling requirements will be as noted in the contract documents and manufacturer's specifications. The Contractor's attention is directed to the manufacturer's recommendations with respect to the uniform placement of bedding and backfill materials, the use of vertical stabilization measures within the pipe embedment zone, and compaction efforts above the top of the pipe. B. A non -woven geotextile shall be installed along the trench bottom, sides, and over the initial aggregate backfill as shown on the embedment detail for FRPM pipe. Geotextile material shall be identified, stored, and delivered to the project in accordance with manufacturer's specifications. The geotextile shall be cut to proper width prior to placement in the trench and shall be of sufficient length to provide the specified overlap. Longitudinal sections of geotextile may be connected by sewing or overlap. The minimum overlap distance for longitudinal applications is 3.0 -feet. Section 02539 FRPM Page 3 C. Pipe Handling: Use textile slings, other suitable materials or a forklift. No chains or cables shall be used to handle pipe. D. Jointing: 1. Clean ends of pipe and joint components to ensure proper connection. 2. Apply joint lubricant to the bell interior surface and the elastomeric seals. Use only lubricants approved by the pipe manufacturer. 3. Use suitable equipment and end protection to push the pipes together. 4. Do not exceed forces recommended by the manufacturer for coupling pipe. Contractor's attention is directed to the manufacturer's required joining forces for the "FWC" coupling. E. Field Tests: 1. Pipe testing and frequency shall be the responsibility of the contractor and will be completed as directed in the contract documents and Owner's direction. 2. Infiltration / Exfiltration Test: Maximum allowable leakage shall be per Local specification requirements. 3. Low Pressure Air Test: Fiberglass reinforced pipe to be tested as referenced for ductile iron pipe in Section 02539. The contractor is responsible for ensuring that the pipe section to be tested has been backfilied and secured prior to testing. Appropriate thrust restraint, venting, and testing appurtenances are the responsible of the contractor. Pressure testing shall not take place until all deflection testing is complete and approved by the Owner. 4. Individual Joint Testing: For pipes large enough to enter, individual joints may be pressure tested with a portable tester. 5. Deflection: Maximum allowable long -term deflection is 3% of the initial diameter. Deflection tests shall: • Be conducted within 24 -hours of backfilling a section of line. Allowable deflection is 3% at 24- hours. • A second deflection test shall be completed 30 -days following installation and backfilling activities. Allowable deflection 4.0% at 30- days. • The maximum long -term allowable deflection is 5.0 %. Deflection tests shall be completed using a go /no -go mandrel. The mandrel's outside dimension shall be sized to permit no more than the specified allowable deflection. The percent deflection shall be established from the base inside diameter of the pipe. The mandrel shall be approved Section 02539 — FRPM Page 4 by the field inspector or Owner representative prior to use 6. The contractor shall retain a field service representative currently employed by the FRPM pipe manufacturer for quality control purposes for the first 10% of all fiberglass reinforced polymer mortar pipe installed. The contractor shall provide the Owner with daily records and reports from the manufacturer's field representative noting all observed field conditions, installation and testing methods, and other relevant information. The field service representative will not supersede the Owner's stated responsibilities for testing or inspection, nor will the field service representative relieve the Contractor from his responsibilities outlined in the contract documents.

Sue has worked extensively on all types of projects in several states. She worked on the engineering side of design and inspection, before making the transition to working for contractors. Sue has great knowledge of contract administration as well as field experience. It is not often that you find a professional engineer with her educational background and complex experience of having worked on both sides of engineering (owner /engineer and contractors) with a great common sense approach to pipeline contracting. Sue handles estimating, contract administration, & field coordination on various projects for GGPC. She is a great asset in facilitating all phases of construction. Sue's direct supervisor with our company is Vice President, Chris Opolka. His contact numbers are: Office (770) 267 -0825; Mobile (678) 878 - 7314. PROPOSED SUPERINTENDENT REGGIE FA Reggie previously worked in various locations on the east coa from Maine to the Virgin Islands. He has operated and supervised pipeline installation on large diameter cross- country pipelines and in tight plant construction situations. Reggie has been with GGPC for over 10 years committed to the company's sanitary projects. These are often the projects with deep and wet conditions where Reggie's skill can be witnessed. PROPOSED PIPE FOREMAN ANTHONY STONE Anthony started with GGPC as a laborer on a pipeline crew over 10 years ago while still in High School. Fortunately the foreman he was working for immediately saw his talent for operating equipment and very soon was running his own crew. Anthony skills have been focused on GGPC's large diameter sanitary projects and he is often brought on to other foremen's' projects to assist in river crossings. His common sense approach helps the jobs run smoothly and results in a quality product for the owner.

CONTRACTOR shall be responsible to see that the finished Work complies accurately with the Contract Documents. 6.2. CONTRACTOR shall keep on the Work, at all times during its progress, a competent resident superintendent, who shall not be replaced without written notice to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL except under extraordinary circumstances. The superintendent will be CONTRACTOR's representative at the site and shall have authority to act on behalf of CONTRACTOR. All communications to the superintendent shall be as binding as if given to CONTRACTOR. Labor, Materials and Equipment: 6.3. CONTRACTOR shall provide competent, suitably qualified personnel to survey and lay out the Work and perform construction as required by the Contract Documents. CONTRACTOR shall at all times maintain good discipline and order at the site. Except in connection with the safety or protection of persons or the Work or property at the site or adjacent thereto, and except as otherwise indicated in the Contract Documents, all Work at the site shall be performed during regular working hours, and CONTRACTOR will not permit evening work or the performance of Work on Saturday, Sunday or any legal holiday without OW NER's written consent given after prior written notice to PROFESSIONAL. 6.4. Unless otherwise specified in the General Requirements, CONTRACTOR shall furnish and assume full responsibility for all materials, equipment, labor, transportation, construction equipment and machinery, tools, appliances, fuel, power, light, heat, telephone, water, sanitary facilities, temporary facilities and all other facilities and incidentals whether temporary or permanent necessary for the execution, testing, initial operation, and completion of the Work as required by the Contract Documents. 6.5. All materials and equipment shall be of good quality and new, except as otherwise provided in the Contract Documents. If required by PROFESSIONAL, CONTRACTOR shall furnish satisfactory evidence (including reports of required tests) as to the kind and quality of materials and equipment.

Adjusting Progress Schedule: 6.6. CONTRACTOR shall submit to PROFESSIONAL for acceptance to the extent indicated in paragraph 2.9 adjustments in the progress schedule to reflect the impact thereon of new developments; these will conform generally to the progress schedule then in effect and additionally will comply with any provisions of the General Requirements applicable thereto.

Whenever materials or equipment are specified or described in the Contract Documents by using the name of a proprietary item or the name of a particular Supplier, the naming of the item is intended to establish the type, function and quality required. Unless the name is followed by words indicating that no substitution is permitted, materials or equipment of other Suppliers may be accepted by PROFESSIONAL if sufficient information is submitted by CONTRACTOR to allow PROFESSIONAL to determine that the material or equipment proposed is equivalent or equal to that named. The procedure for review by PROFESSIONAL will include the following as supplemented in the General Requirements. Requests for review of substitute items of material and equipment . will not be accepted by PROFESSIONAL from anyone other than CONTRACTOR. If CONTRACTOR wishes to furnish or use a substitute item of material or equipment, CONTRACTOR shall make written application to PROFESSIONAL for acceptance thereof, certifying that the proposed substitute will perform adequately the functions and achieve the results called for by the general design, be similar and of equal substance to that specified and be suited to the same use as that specified. The application will state that the evaluation and acceptance of the proposed substitute will not prejudice CONTRACTOR's achievement of Substantial Completion on time, whether or not acceptance of the substitute for use in the Work will require a change in any of the Contract Documents (or in the provisions of any other direct contract with OWNER for work on the Project) to adapt the design to the proposed substitute and whether or not incorporation or use of the substitute in connection with the Work is subject to payment of any license fee or royalty. All variations of the proposed substitute from that specified will be identified in the application and available maintenance, repair and replacement service will be indicated. The application will also contain an itemized estimate of all costs that will result directly or indirectly from acceptance of such substitute, including costs of redesign and claims of other contractors affected by the resulting change, all of which shall be considered by PROFESSIONAL. In evaluating the proposed substitute, PROFESSIONAL may require CONTRACTOR to furnish, at CONTRACTOR's expense, additional data about the proposed substitute. 6.7.2. If a specific means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction is indicated in or required by the Contract Documents, CONTRACTOR may furnish or utilize a substitute means, method, sequence, technique or procedure of construction acceptable to PROFESSIONAL, if CONTRACTOR submits sufficient information to allow PROFESSIONAL to determine that the substitute proposed is equivalent to that indicated or required by the Contract Documents. The procedure for review by PROFESSIONAL will be similar to that provided in paragraph 6.7.1 as applied by PROFESSIONAL and as may be supplemented in the Gen- eral Requirements. 6.7.3. PROFESSIONAL will be allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate each proposed substitute. PROFESSIONAL will be the sole judge of acceptability and no substitute will be ordered, installed or utilized without PROFESSIONAL's prior written acceptance which will be evidenced by either a Change Order or an approved Shop Drawing. OWNER may require CONTRACTOR to furnish, at CONTRACTOR's expense, a special performance guarantee or other surety with respect to any substitute. PROFESSIONAL will record time required by PROFESSIONAL and PROFESSIONAL's consultants in evaluating substitutions proposed by CONTRACTOR and in making changes in the Contract Documents occasioned thereby. Whether or not PROFESSIONAL accepts a proposed substitute, CONTRACTOR shall reimburse OWNER for the charges of PROFESSIONAL and PROFESSIONAL's consultants for evaluating each proposed substitute. Concerning Subcontractors, Suppliers and Others: 6.8.1. CONTRACTOR shall not employ any Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or organization (including those acceptable to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL as indicated in paragraph 6.8.2) whether initially or as a substitute, against whom OWNER or PROFESSIONAL may have reasonable objection. CONTRACTOR shall not be required to employ any Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or organization to furnish or perform any of the Work against whom CONTRACTOR has reasonable objection. GC -17 Page 17 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 6.8.2. If the Supplementary Conditions require the identity of certain Subcontractors, Suppliers or other persons or organizations including those who are to furnish the principal items of materials and equipment to be submitted to OWNER prior to the Effective Date of the Agreement for acceptance by OWNER and PROFESSIONAL and if CONTRACTOR has submitted a list thereof in accordance with the Supplementary Conditions, OWNER's or PROFESSIONAL's acceptance (either in writing or by failing to make written objection thereto by the date indicated for acceptance or objection in the bidding documents or the Contract Documents) of any such Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or organization so identified may be revoked on the basis of reasonable objection after due investigation, in which case CONTRACTOR shall submit an acceptable substitute, the Contract Price will be increased by the difference, and the cost occasioned by such substitution and an appropriate Change Order will be issued or Written Amendment signed. No acceptance by OWNER or PROFESSIONAL of any such Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or organization shall constitute a waiver of any right of OWNER or PROFESSIONAL to reject defective Work. 6.9. CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL for all acts and omissions of the Subcontractors, Suppliers and other persons and organizations performing or furnishing any of the Work under a direct or indirect contract with CONTRACTOR just as CONTRACTOR is responsible for CONTRACTOR's own acts and omissions. Nothing in the Contract Documents shall create any contractual relationship between OWNER or PROFESSIONAL and any such Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or organization, nor shall it create any obligation on the part of OWNER or PROFESSIONAL to pay or to see to the payment of any moneys due any such Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or organization except as may otherwise be required by Laws and Regulations. 6.10.

CONTRACTOR shall assume full responsibility for any damage to any such land or area, or to the OWNER or occupant thereof or of any land or areas contiguous thereto, resulting from the performance of the Work. Should any claim be made against OWNER or PROFESSIONAL by any such OWNER or occupant because of the performance of the Work, CONTRACTOR shall promptly attempt to settle with such other party by agreement or otherwise resolve the claim by arbitration or at law. CONTRACTOR shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Laws and Regulations, indemnify and hold OWNER harmless from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses (including, but not limited to, fees of PROFESSIONALs, architects, attorneys and other professionals and court and arbitration costs) arising directly, indirectly or consequentially out of any action, legal or equitable, brought by any such other party against OWNER to the extent based on a claim arising out of CONTRACTOR's performance of the Work. 6.17.

If PROFESSIONAL determines that a GC -20 Page 20 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 change in the Contract Documents is required because of the action taken in response to an emergency, a Work Change Directive or Change Order be issued to document the consequences of the changes or variations. 6.22.1. CONTRACTOR shall immediately notify PROFESSIONAL of all events involving injuries to any person on the Site, whether or not such person was engaged in the construction of the Project, and shall file a written report on such person(s) and any other event resulting in property damage of any amount within five (5) days of the occurrence. 6.22.2. If PROFESSIONAL determines that a change in the Contract Documents is required because of the action taken by CONTRACTOR in response to such an emergency, a Change Order will be issued to document the consequences of such action. Shop Drawings and Samples: 6.23. After checking and verifying all field measurements, CONTRACTOR shall promptly submit to PROFESSIONAL for approval, in accordance with the accepted schedule of submittals, all submittals and samples required by the Contract Documents. All submittals and samples shall have been checked by and stamped with the approval of CONTRACTOR and identified as PROFESSIONAL may require. The data shown on or with the submittals will be complete with respect to dimensions, design criteria, materials and any other information necessary to enable PROFESSIONAL to review the submittal as required. At the time of each submission, CONTRACTOR shall give notice to PROFESSIONAL of all deviations that the submittal or sample may have from the requirements of the Contract Documents. 6.24. PROFESSIONAL shall review and approve submittals and samples. Professional's review and approval shall be only for conformance with the design concept of the Project and compliance with the information given in the Contract Documents. The approval of a separate item as such will not indicate approval of the assembly in which the item functions. CONTRACTOR will make any corrections required by PROFESSIONAL and resubmit the required number of corrected copies until approved. CONTRACTOR's stamp of approval on any submittal or sample shall constitute its representation to PROFESSIONAL and OWNER that CONTRACTOR has determined and verified all quantities, dimensions, field construction criteria, materials, catalog numbers, and similar data, and that each submittal or sample has been reviewed or coordinated with the requirements of the Work and the Contract Documents. 6.24.1. No Work requiring a submittal or sample submission shall commence until the submission has been approved by PROFESSIONAL. A copy of each approved submittal and each approved sample shall be kept in good order by CONTRACTOR at the site and shall be available to PROFESSIONAL and OWNER. Any delays associated with the submittal process will be considered for time extensions only, and no damages or additional compensation for delay will be allowed. 6.24.2. Before submission of each Shop Drawing or sample, CONTRACTOR shall have determined and verified all quantities, dimensions, specified performance criteria, installation requirements, materials, catalog numbers and similar data with respect thereto and reviewed or coordinated each Shop Drawing or sample with other Shop Drawings and samples and with the requirements of the Work and the Contract Documents. 6.24.3. At the time of each submission, CONTRACTOR shall give PROFESSIONAL specific written notice of each variation that the Shop Drawings or samples may have from the requirements of the Contract Documents, and, in addition, shall cause a specific notation to be made on each Shop Drawing submitted to PROFESSIONAL for review and approval of each such variation. 6.26. PROFESSIONAL will review and approve with reasonable promptness Shop Drawings and GC -21 Page 21 of 52 Revision Date • August 2001 samples, but PROFESSIONAL's review and approval will be only for conformance with the design concept of the Project and for compliance with the information given in the Contract Documents and shall not extend to means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction (except where a specific means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction is indicated in or required by the Contract Documents) or to safety precautions or programs incident thereto. The review and approval of a separate item as such will not indicate approval of the assembly in which the item functions. 6.27. PROFESSIONAL's approval of submittals or samples shall not relieve CONTRACTOR from responsibility for any variation from the requirements of the Contract Documents unless CONTRACTOR has, in writing, called PROFESSIONAL's attention to each such variation at the time of submission and the OWNER has given written approval to the specific deviation; any such approval by PROFESSIONAL shall not relieve CONTRACTOR from responsibility for errors or omissions in the submittals. 6.28. Where a shop drawing or sample is required by the Contract Documents or the schedule of shop drawings and sample submissions accepted by PROFESSIONAL as required, any related work performed prior to PROFESSIONAL's review and approval of the pertinent submittal will be at the sole expense and responsibility of CONTRACTOR. Continuing the Work: 6.30. CONTRACTOR shall carry on the Work and adhere to the progress schedule during all disputes or disagreements with OWNER. No Work shall be delayed or postponed pending resolution of any disputes or disagreements, except as permitted by paragraph 15.6 or as CONTRACTOR and OWNER may otherwise agree in writing. Cleaning Up: 6.31. CONTRACTOR shall maintain the site free from accumulations of waste materials, rubbish, and other debris or contaminants resulting from the work on a daily basis or as required. At the completion of the work, CONTRACTOR shall remove all waste materials, rubbish, and debris from the site as well as all tools, construction equipment and machinery, and surplus materials and will leave the Site clean and ready for occupancy by OWNER. All disposal shall be in accordance with applicable Laws and Regulations. In addition to any other rights available to OWNER under the Contract Documents, CONTRACTOR's failure to maintain the site may result in withholding of any amounts due CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR will restore to original condition those portions of the site not designated for alteration by the Contract Documents. Indemnification: 6.32. To the fullest extent permitted by Laws and Regulations, CONTRACTOR shall indemnify and hold harmless OWNER, PROGRAM MANAGER and PROFESSIONAL and their consultants, agents and employees from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses, direct, indirect or consequential (including but not limited to fees and charges of PROGRAM MANAGER, PROFESSIONALs, architects, attorneys and other PROFESSIONALs and court and arbitration costs) arising out of or resulting from the performance of the Work, provided that any such claim, damage, loss or expense (a) is attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or death, or to injury to or destruction of tangible property (other than the Work itself) including the loss of use resulting therefrom and (b) is caused in whole or in part by any negligent act or omission of CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, any person or organization directly or indirectly employed by any of them to perform or furnish any of the Work or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, regardless of whether or not it is caused in part by a party indemnified hereunder or arises by or is imposed by Law and Regulations regardless of the negligence of any such party. GC -22 Page 22 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 6.33. In any and all claims against OWNER, PROGRAM MANAGER or PROFESSIONAL or any of their consultants, agents or employees by any employee of CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, any person or organization directly or indirectly employed by any of them to perform or furnish any of the Work or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, the indemnification obligation under paragraph 6.32 shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for CONTRACTOR or any such Subcontractor or other person or organization under workers' or workmen's compensation acts, disability benefit acts or other employee benefit acts. 6.34. The obligations of CONTRACTOR under paragraph 6.32 shall not extend to the liability of PROFESSIONAL, PROFESSIONAL's consultants, agents or employees arising out of the preparation or approval of maps, drawings, opinions, reports, surveys, Change Orders, designs or specifications.

OWNER may perform other work related to the Project at the site by OWNER's own forces, have other work performed by aided OWNERs or let other direct contracts therefor which shall contain General Conditions similar to these. If the fact that such other work is to be performed was not noted in the Contract Documents, written notice thereof will be given to CONTRACTOR prior to starting any such other work, and, if CONTRACTOR believes that such performance will involve additional expense to CONTRACTOR or requires additional time and the parties are unable to agree as to the extent thereof, CONTRACTOR may make a claim therefor as provided in Articles 11 and 12. 7.1.2. CONTRACTOR shall afford each utility OWNER and other contractor who is a party to such a direct contract for OWNER, if OWNER is performing the additional work with OWNER's employees, proper and safe access to the site and a reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of materials and equipment and the execution of such work, and shall properly connect and coordinate the Work with theirs. CONTRACTOR shall do all cutting, fitting and patching of the Work that may be required to make its several parts come together properly and integrate with such other work. CONTRACTOR shall not endanger any work of others by cutting, excavating or otherwise altering their work and will only cut or alter their work with the written consent of PROFESSIONAL and the others whose work will be affected. The duties and responsibilities of CONTRACTOR under this paragraph are for the benefit of such utility OWNERs and other contractors to the extent that there are comparable provisions for the benefit of CONTRACTOR in said direct contracts between OWNER and such utility OWNERs and other contractors. 7.2. If any part of CONTRACTOR's Work depends for proper execution or results upon the work of any such other contractor or utility OWNER (or OWNER), CONTRACTOR shall inspect and promptly report to PROFESSIONAL in writing any delays, defects or deficiencies in such work that render it unavailable or unsuitable for such proper execution and results. CONTRACTOR's failure so to report will constitute an acceptance of the other work as fit and proper for integration with CONTRACTOR's Work except for latent or nonapparent defects and deficiencies in the other work. Coordination: 7.4. If OWNER contracts with others for the performance of other work on the Project at the site, the person or organization who will have authority and responsibility for coordination of the activities among the various prime contractors will be identified in the Supplementary Conditions, and the specific matters to be covered by such authority and responsibility will be itemized, and the extent of such authority and responsibilities will be provided in the Supplementary Conditions. Unless otherwise provided in the Supplementary Conditions, neither OWNER nor PROFESSIONAL shall have any authority or responsibility in respect of such coordination. GC -24 Page 24 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 ARTICLE 8---OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITIES 8.1. Except as otherwise provided in these General Conditions, OWNER shall issue all communications to CONTRACTOR through the PROGRAM MANAGER or PROFESSIONAL. 8.2.

GC -25 Page 25 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 ARTICLE 9 - -- PROFESSIONAL'S STATUS DURING CONSTRUCTION OWNER's Representative: 9.1. PROFESSIONAL will be OWNER's representative during the construction period. The duties and responsibilities and the limitations of authority of PROFESSIONAL as OWNER's representative during construction are set forth in the Contract Documents and shall not be extended without written consent of OWNER and PROFESSIONAL. Visits to Site: 9.2. PROFESSIONAL will make visits to the site at intervals appropriate to the various stages of construction to observe the premises and quality of the executed Work and to determine, in general, if the Work is proceeding in accordance with the Contract Documents. PROFESSIONAL will not be required to make exhaustive or continuous on -site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work. PROFESSIONAL's efforts will be directed toward providing for OWNER a greater degree of confidence that the completed Work will conform to the Contract Documents. On the basis of such visits and on -site observations as an experienced and qualified design PROFESSIONAL, PROFESSIONAL will keep OWNER informed of the progress of the Work and will endeavor to guard OWNER against defects and deficiencies in the Work. Project Representation: 9.3. If OWNER and PROFESSIONAL agree, PROFESSIONAL will furnish a Resident Project Representative to assist PROFESSIONAL in observing the performance of the Work. The duties, responsibilities and limitations of authority of any such Resident Project Representative and assistants will be as provided in the Supplementary Conditions. If OWNER designates another agent to represent OWNER at the site who is not PROFESSIONAL's agent or employee, the duties, responsibilities and limitations of authority of such other person will be as provided in the Supplementary Conditions. Clarifications and Interpretations: 9.4. PROFESSIONAL shall issue such written clarifications or interpretations of the Contract Documents (in the form of Drawings or otherwise) as may be determined necessary, or as reasonably requested by CONTRACTOR, which shall be consistent with or reasonably inferable from the overall intent of the Contract Documents. If CONTRACTOR believes that a written clarification and interpretation entitles it to an increase in the Contract Price and /or Contract Time, CONTRACTOR may make a claim as provided for in Articles 11 or 12. Authorized Variations in Work: 9.5. PROFESSIONAL may authorize minor variations in the Work from the requirements of the Contract Documents which do not involve an adjustment in the Contract Price or the Contract Time and are consistent with the overall intent of the Contract Documents. These may be accomplished by a Field Order and will be binding on OWNER and also on CONTRACTOR who shall perform the Work involved promptly. If CONTRACTOR believes that a Field Order justifies an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Time and the parties are unable to agree as to the amount or extent thereof, CONTRACTOR may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11 or 12. GC -26 Page 26 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 Rejecting Defective Work: 9.6.

PROFESSIONAL's written decisions thereon will be final and binding upon OWNER and CONTRACTOR, unless, within ten days after the date of any such decision, either OWNER or CONTRACTOR delivers to the other party to the Agreement and to PROFESSIONAL written notice of intention to appeal from such a decision. Decisions on Disputes: 9.11. PROFESSIONAL will be the initial interpreter of the requirements of the Contract Documents and judge of the acceptability of the Work thereunder. Claims, disputes and other matters relating to the acceptability of the Work or the interpretation of the requirements of the Contract Documents pertaining to the performance and furnishing of the Work and claims under Articles 11 and 12 in respect of changes to the Contract Price or Contract Time will be referred initially to PROFESSIONAL in writing with a request for a formal decision in accordance with this paragraph, which PROFESSIONAL will render in writing within a reasonable time. Written notice of each such claim, dispute and other matter will be delivered by the claimant to PROFESSIONAL and the other party to the Agreement promptly (but in no event later than thirty days after the occurrence of the event giving rise thereto) and written supporting data will be submitted to PROFESSIONAL and the other party within sixty days after such occurrence unless PROFESSIONAL allows an additional period of time to ascertain more accurate data in support of the claim. 9.12. When functioning as interpreter and judge under paragraphs 9.10 and 9.11, PROFESSIONAL will not show partiality to OWNER or CONTRACTOR and will not be liable in connection with any interpretation or decision rendered in good faith in such capacity. The rendering of a decision by PROFESSIONAL pursuant to paragraphs 9.10 and 9.11 with respect to any such claim, dispute or other matter (except any which have been waived by the making or acceptance of final payment as provided in paragraph 14.16) will be a condition GC -27 Page 27 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 precedent to any exercise by OWNER or CONTRACTOR of such rights or remedies as either may otherwise have under the Contract Documents or by Laws or Regulations in respect of any such claim, dispute or other matter. Limitations on PROFESSIONAL's Responsibilities: 9.13.

PROFESSIONAL shall not be responsible for the construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures or the safety precautions and programs used. PROFESSIONAL shall not be responsible for CONTRACTOR's failure to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. 9.15. PROFESSIONAL shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractors, any agents or employees, or any other persons performing any of the Work. GC -28 Page 28 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 ARTICLE 10 -- CHANGES IN THE WORK 10.1. Without invalidating the Contract, OWNER may at any time or from time to time order additions, deletions, or revisions in the Work. The OWNER shall provide CONTRACTOR with a proposal request, identifying the Work to be added, deleted or revised. Upon receipt, CONTRACTOR shall promptly submit a written proposal for the changed work prepared in accordance with Articles 11 and 12. If the proposal request calls only for the deletion of Work, the OWNER may order the partial suspension of any Work related to the proposed deletion, in which case CONTRACTOR must cease performance as directed; CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to claim lost profits on deleted work. All changed Work shall be executed under the applicable conditions of the Contract Documents. 10.2. Additional Work performed by CONTRACTOR without authorization of a Change Order will not entitle CONTRACTOR to an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Time, except in the case of an emergency as provided in Article 6. The effect of this paragraph shall remain paramount and shall prevail irrespective of any conflicting provisions contained in these Contract Documents. 10.3. Upon agreement as to changes in the Work to be performed, Work performed in an emergency as provided in Article 6, and any other claim of CONTRACTOR for a change in the Contract Time or the Contract Price, PROFESSIONAL will prepare a written Change Order to be signed by PROFESSIONAL and CONTRACTOR and submitted to OWNER for approval. 10.4. In the absence of an agreement as provided in 10.3, OWNER may, at its sole discretion, issue a Work Change Directive to CONTRACTOR. Pricing of the Work Change Directive will be in accordance with Section 11.3. The Work Change Directive will specify a price, and if applicable a time extension, determined to be reasonable by OWNER. If CONTRACTOR fails to sign such Work Change Directive , CONTRACTOR may submit a claim in accordance with Articles 11 and 12, but CONTRACTOR shall nevertheless be obligated to fully perform the work as directed by the Work Change Directive. 10.5. CONTRACTOR shall proceed diligently with performance of the Work as directed by OWNER, regardless of pending claim actions, unless otherwise agreed to in writing. 10.6. If notice of any change affecting the general scope of the Work or the provisions of the Contract Documents (including, but not limited to, Contract Price or Contract Time) is required by the provisions of any Bond to be given to a surety, the giving of any such notice will be CONTRACTOR's responsibility, and the amount of each applicable Bond will be adjusted accordingly. GC -29 Page 29 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 ARTICLE 11- CHANGE OF CONTRACT PRICE 11.1. The Contract Price constitutes the total compensation (subject to written authorized adjustments) payable to CONTRACTOR for performing the Work. All duties, responsibilities and obligations assigned to or undertaken by CONTRACTOR shall be at CONTRACTOR's expense without change in the Contract Price. 11.2. The Contract Price may only be changed by a Change Order or by a Written Amendment. Any claim for an increase or decrease in the Contract Price shall be based on written notice delivered by the party making the claim to the other party and to PROFESSIONAL promptly (but in no event later than thirty days) after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim and stating the general nature of the claim. Notice of the amount of the claim with supporting data shall be delivered within sixty days after such occurrence (unless PROFESSIONAL allows an additional period of time to ascertain more accurate data in support of the claim) and shall be accompanied by claimant's written statement that the amount claimed covers all known amounts (direct, indirect and consequential) to which the claimant is entitled as a result of the occurrence of said event. All claims for adjustment in the Contract Price shall be determined by PROFESSIONAL in accordance with paragraph 9.11 if OWNER and CONTRACTOR cannot otherwise agree on the amount involved. No claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price will be valid if not submitted in accordance with this paragraph 11.2. 11.3. The value of any Work covered by a Change Order or of any claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price will be determined by the following procedures: 11.3.1. Designated Unit Price (Field Measure). CONTRACTOR and OWNER recognize and acknowledge that the quantities shown for those items designated in the Bid Proposal as unit price items are approximations prepared by OWNER for bid purposes and that the actual compensation payable to CONTRACTOR for the utilization of such items is based upon the application of unit prices to the actual quantities of items involved as measured in the field and required to complete the Work as originally defined in the Contract Documents. 11.3.2. When it is determined by OWNER that an addition, deletion, or revision to the Work, as defined in these Contract Documents, is required and affects the quantities required for items designed in the Bid Proposal as unit price items, CONTRACTOR and OWNER agree that the compensation payable to CONTRACTOR for such unit price items shall be adjusted accordingly by a Change Order based upon the application of the appropriate unit prices shown in the Bid Proposal to the quantity of the unit price item required to complete the Work as defined in the Contract Documents. 11.3.3. Other Unit Prices. For items not designated in the bid proposal as unit prices, OWNER and CONTRACTOR may establish unit prices as agreed on by Change Order. 11.3.4. Lump Sum. When it is determined by OWNER that an addition, deletion or revision to the Work is required which results in a change in Work designated in the Bid Proposal as a lump sum item, the amount of increase or decrease in the lump sum price shall be established by mutual agreement of the parties. 11.3.5. If the pricing methods specified in 11.3 are inapplicable, or if the parties are unable to agree on a price for the changed work, a reasonable price for the same shall be established by OWNER in accordance with 11.4 and 11.5. OWNER shall then process a unilateral Change Order, specifying the said reasonable price, in accordance with 11.4 through 11.6. CONTRACTOR shall perform the Work as directed in the GC -30 Page 30 of 52 • Revision Date August 2001 Change Order. 11.3.6. Failure on the part of CONTRACTOR to construct any item to plan or authorized dimensions within the specification tolerances shall result in: reconstruction to acceptable tolerances at no additional costs to OWNER; acceptance at no pay; or acceptance at reduced final pay quantity or reduced unit price, all at the discretion of OWNER. Determinations of aggregate monetary change for items identified as lump sum quantities shall be made by OWNER based upon an analysis of the scope of CONTRACTOR's failure to construct to plan or authorized dimensions. Cost of the Work: 11.4. The term Cost of the Work means the sum of all costs necessarily incurred and paid by CONTRACTOR in the proper performance of the Work. Except as otherwise may be agreed to in writing by OWNER, such costs shall be in amounts no higher than those prevailing in the locality of the Project, shall include only the following items and shall not include any of the costs itemized in paragraph 11.5: 11.4.1.

Trade discounts, rebates and refunds and all returns from sale of surplus materials and equipment shall accrue to OWNER, and CONTRACTOR shall make provisions so that they may be obtained. 11.4.3. Payments made by CONTRACTOR to the Subcontractors for Work performed by Subcontractors. If required by OWNER, CONTRACTOR shall obtain competitive bids from Subcontractors acceptable to CONTRACTOR and shall deliver such bids to OWNER who then determines, with the advice of PROFESSIONAL, which bids will be accepted. If a subcontract provides that the Subcontractor is to be paid on the basis of Cost of the Work Plus a Fee, the Subcontractor's Cost of the Work shall be determined in the same manner as CONTRACTOR's Cost of the Work. All subcontracts shall be subject to the other provisions of the Contract Documents insofar as applicable. 11.4.4. Costs of special consultants (including but not limited to engineers, architects, testing laboratories, surveyors, attorneys and accountants) employed for services specifically related to the Work. 11.4.5.

It is understood that CONTRACTOR has included in the Contract Price all allowances so named in the Contract Documents and shall cause the Work so covered to be done by such Subcontractors or Suppliers and for such sums within the limit of the allowances as may be acceptable to PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTOR agrees that: 11.8.1. The allowances include the cost to CONTRACTOR (less any applicable trade discounts) of materials and equipment required by the allowances to be delivered at the site and all applicable taxes; and 11.8.2. CONTRACTOR's costs for unloading and handling on the site, labor, installation costs, overhead, profit and other expenses contemplated for the allowances have been included in the Contract Price and not in the allowances. No demand for additional payment on account of any thereof will be valid. Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change Order will be issued as recommended by PROFESSIONAL to reflect actual amounts due CONTRACTOR on account of Work covered by allowances, and the Contract Price shall be correspondingly adjusted. Unit Price Work: 11.9.1. Where the Contract Documents provide that all or part of the Work is to be Unit Price Work, initially the Contract Price will be deemed to include for all Unit Price Work an amount equal to the sum of the established unit prices for each separately identified item of Unit Price Work times the estimated quantity of each item as indicated in the Agreement. The estimated quantities of items of Unit Price Work are not guaranteed and are solely for the purpose of comparison of Bids and determining an initial Contract Price. Determinations of the actual quantities and classifications of Unit Price Work performed by CONTRACTOR will be made by PROFESSIONAL in accordance with Paragraph 9.10. 11.9.2. Each unit price will be deemed to include an amount considered by CONTRACTOR to be adequate to cover CONTRACTOR's overhead and profit for each separately identified item. 11.9.3. Where the quantity of any item of Unit Price Work performed by CONTRACTOR differs materially and significantly from the estimated quantity of such item indicated in the Agreement and there is no corresponding adjustment with respect to any other item of Work and if CONTRACTOR believes that CONTRACTOR has incurred additional expense as a result thereof, CONTRACTOR may make a claim for an increase in the Contract Price in accordance with Article 11 if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount of any such increase. GC -34 Page 34 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 ARTICLE 12 -- CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIME 12.1. The Contract Time may only be changed by a Change Order. Any request for an extension in the Contract Time shall be made in writing and delivered to PROFESSIONAL and OWNER within seven (7) calendar days of the occurrence first happening and resulting in the claim. Written supporting data will be submitted to PROFESSIONAL and OWNER within fifteen (15) calendar days after such occurrence unless the OWNER allows additional time. All claims submitted by CONTRACTOR for adjustments to the Contract Time must set forth in detail the reasons for and causes of the delay and clearly indicate why the subject delay was beyond CONTRACTOR's control or fault. 12.2. If CONTRACTOR is delayed at any time in the performance, progress, commencement, or completion of the Work by any act or neglect of OWNER or PROFESSIONAL, or by an employee of either, or by any separate CONTRACTOR employed by OWNER, or by changes ordered in the Work, or by labor disputes, fire, unavoidable casualties, utility conflicts which could not have been identified or foreseen by CONTRACTOR using reasonable diligence, or any causes beyond CONTRACTOR's control or fault, then the Contract Time shall be extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as OWNER may determine. CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to an extension of time for such causes only for the number of days of delay which OWNER may determine to be due solely to such causes and only to the extent such occurrences actually delay the completion of the Work and then only if CONTRACTOR shall have strictly complied with all the requirements of the Contract Documents. Provided, however, notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents to the contrary, no interruption, interference, inefficiency, suspension or delay in the performance, progress, commencement or completion of the Work for any cause whatsoever, including those for which OWNER or PROFESSIONAL may be responsible in whole or in part, shall relieve CONTRACTOR of its duty to perform or give rise to any right to damages or additional compensation from OWNER. CONTRACTOR's sole and exclusive remedy against OWNER for interruption, interference, inefficiency, suspension or delay of any aspect of the Work shall be the right to seek an extension to the Contract Time in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. GC -35 Page 35 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 ARTICLE 13-- WARRANTY AND GUARANTEE; TESTS AND INSPECTIONS: CORRECTION, REMOVAL OR ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK Warranty and Guarantee: 13.1. CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees to OWNER that all materials and equipment will be new unless otherwise specified and that all work will be of good quality, performed in a workmanlike manner, - free from faults or defects, and in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents and any inspections, tests, or approvals referred to in this Article. All unsatisfactory Work, all faulty Work and all Work not conforming to the requirements of the Contract Documents or such inspections, tests, approvals, or all applicable building, construction and safety requirements shall be considered defective. Notice of all defects shall be given to CONTRACTOR by PROFESSIONAL. All defective work, whether or not in place, may be rejected, corrected, or accepted as provided in this Article. Access to Work: 13.2. For the duration of the Work, PROFESSIONAL and its representatives, other designated representatives of OWNER, and authorized representatives of any regulatory agency shall at all times be given access to the Work. CONTRACTOR shall provide proper facilities for such access and observation of the Work and also for any inspection or testing by others. Tests and Inspections: 13.3. If the Contract Documents, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of any public authority having jurisdiction require any Work to specifically be inspected, tested, or approved by someone other than CONTRACTOR, CONTRACTOR shall give PROFESSIONAL timely notice of readiness therefore. 13.4. The testing firm(s) (if assigned by OWNER to this Work) and all such inspections, tests, or approvals provided for by OWNER shall be identified in writing by PROFESSIONAL to CONTRACTOR. All other inspections, tests or approvals shall be at CONTRACTOR's expense including additional expenses for inspection and tests required as a result of delays by CONTRACTOR or hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week. For all required inspections, tests, and approvals on any Work prepared, performed, or assembled away from the site, CONTRACTOR will furnish PROFESSIONAL with the required Certificates of Inspection, testing, or approval. All such tests will be in accordance with the methods prescribed by the American Society for Testing and Materials or such other applicable organizations as may be required by law or the Contract Documents. Materials or Work in place that fail to pass acceptability tests shall be retested at the direction of PROFESSIONAL and at CONTRACTOR's expense. 13.5. All inspections, tests or approvals other than those required by Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction shall be performed by organizations acceptable to OWNER and CONTRACTOR (or by PROFESSIONAL if so specified). 13.6. If any Work (including the work of others) that is to be inspected, tested or approved is covered without written concurrence of PROFESSIONAL, it must, if requested by PROFESSIONAL, be uncovered for observation. Such uncovering shall be at CONTRACTOR's expense unless CONTRACTOR has given PROFESSIONAL timely notice of CONTRACTOR's intention to cover the same and PROFESSIONAL has not acted with reasonable promptness in response to such notice. GC -36 Page 36 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 13.7. Neither observations by PROFESSIONAL or Project Manager nor inspections, tests, or approvals by persons other than CONTRACTOR shall relieve CONTRACTOR of its obligations to perform the Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents. Uncovering Work: 13.8. If any Work required to be inspected, tested or approved is covered prior thereto without the prior written approval of PROFESSIONAL, or if any Work is covered contrary to the request of PROFESSIONAL, the Work shall, if requested by PROFESSIONAL, be uncovered for observation, inspection, testing or approval and replaced at CONTRACTOR's expense. 13.9. If PROFESSIONAL considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be observed by PROFESSIONAL or inspected or tested by others, CONTRACTOR, at PROFESSIONAL's request, shall uncover, expose or otherwise make available for observation, inspection or testing as PROFESSIONAL may require, that portion of the Work in question, furnishing all necessary labor, material and equipment. If it is found that such Work is defective, CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct and consequential costs of such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection and testing and of satisfactory reconstruction (including but not limited to fees and charges of PROFESSIONALs, architects, attorneys and other PROFESSIONALs), and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, OWNER may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11. If, however, such Work is not found to be defective, CONTRACTOR shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Time, or both, directly attributable to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, testing and reconstruction, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount or extent thereof, CONTRACTOR may make a claim therefor as provided in Articles 11 and 12. OWNER May Stop the Work: 13.10. When Work is defective or when CONTRACTOR fails to supply sufficient skilled workmen or suitable materials or equipment or make prompt payments to Subcontractors for labor, materials, or equipment or if CONTRACTOR violates any provisions of these Contract Documents, OWNER may order CONTRACTOR to stop the Work until the cause for such order has been eliminated. However, this right of OWNER to stop the Work shall not give rise to any duty on the part of OWNER to exercise this right for the benefit of CONTRACTOR or any other party. CONTRACTOR shall have no right to claim an increase in the Contract Price or Contract Time or other damages for a stop work order under this paragraph. Correction or Removal of Defective Work: 13.11. When directed by PROFESSIONAL, CONTRACTOR shall promptly, without cost to OWNER and as specified by PROFESSIONAL, either correct the defective Work whether fabricated, installed, or completed, or remove it from the site and replace it with non - defective Work. If CONTRACTOR does not correct such defective Work or remove and replace such defective Work within a reasonable time, as specified in a written notice from PROFESSIONAL, OWNER may have the deficiency corrected. All direct and indirect costs of such correction shall be paid by CONTRACTOR or deducted from payment to CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR will also bear the expense of correcting or removing and replacing all Work of others destroyed or damaged by the correction, removal, or replacement of the defective Work. GC -37 Page 37 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 One Year Correction Period: 13.12. If, after approval of final payment and prior to the expiration of one year after the date of substantial completion or such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or by the terms of any applicable special guarantee required by the Contract Documents, any Work or materials are found to be defective, incomplete, or otherwise not in accordance with the Contract Documents, CONTRACTOR shall promptly, without cost to OWNER and in accordance with OWNER's written instructions, either correct such defective Work or if it has been rejected by OWNER, remove it from the Site and replace it with non - defective Work. If CONTRACTOR does not promptly comply with the terms of such instructions, OWNER may have the defective Work corrected, removed, or replaced. All direct, indirect and consequential costs of such removal and replacement (including but not limited to fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals) will be paid by CONTRACTOR. Acceptance of Defective Work: 13.13. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, OWNER (and, prior to PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of final payment, PROFESSIONAL) prefers to accept it, OWNER may do so. CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct, indirect and consequential costs attributable to OWNER's evaluation of and determination to accept such defective Work (such costs to be approved by PROFESSIONAL as to reasonableness and to include but not be limited to fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals). If any such acceptance occurs prior to PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of final payment, a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work, and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, OWNER may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11. If the acceptance occurs after such recommendation, an appropriate amount will be paid by CONTRACTOR to OWNER. OWNER May Correct Defective Work: 13.14. If CONTRACTOR fails within a reasonable time after written notice of PROFESSIONAL to proceed to correct defective Work or to remove and replace rejected Work as required by PROFESSIONAL in accordance with paragraph 13.11, or if CONTRACTOR fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, or if CONTRACTOR falls to comply with any other provision of the Contract Documents, OWNER may, after seven days' written notice to CONTRACTOR, correct and remedy any such deficiency. In exercising the rights and remedies under this paragraph, OWNER shall proceed expeditiously, to the extent necessary to complete corrective and remedial action. OWNER may exclude CONTRACTOR from all or part of the site, take possession of all or part of the Work, and suspend CONTRACTOR's services related thereto, take possession of CONTRACTOR's tools, appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the site and incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the site or for which OWNER has paid CONTRACTOR but which are stored elsewhere. CONTRACTOR shall allow OWNER, OWNER's representatives, agents and employees such access to the site as may be necessary to enable OWNER to exercise the rights and remedies under this paragraph. All direct, indirect and consequential costs of OWNER in exercising such rights and remedies will be charged against CONTRACTOR in an amount approved as to reasonableness by PROFESSIONAL, and a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work, and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, OWNER may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11. Such direct, indirect and consequential costs will include, but not be limited to, fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals, all court costs GC -38 Page 38 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 and all costs of repair and replacement of work of others destroyed or damaged by correction, removal or replacement of CONTRACTOR's defective Work. CONTRACTOR shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Time because of any delay in performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by OWNER of OWNER's rights and remedies hereunder. Neglected Work by CONTRACTOR 13.15. If CONTRACTOR neglects to execute the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, including any requirements of the progress schedule, PROFESSIONAL may direct CONTRACTOR to submit a recovery plan and take specific corrective actions including, but not limited to, employing additional workmen and /or equipment, and working extended hours and additional days, all at no cost to OWNER in order to put the Work back on schedule. If CONTRACTOR fails to correct the deficiency or take appropriate corrective action, OWNER may terminate the contract or CONTRACTOR's right to proceed with that portion of Work and have the Work done by others. The cost of completion under such procedure shall be charged against CONTRACTOR. A Change Order shall be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents, including an appropriate reduction in the Contract Price. If the payments due CONTRACTOR are not sufficient to cover such amount, CONTRACTOR shall pay the difference to OWNER. 13.16. Should CONTRACTOR work overtime, weekends or holidays to regain the schedule, all costs to OWNER of associated inspection, construction management and resident engineers shall be identified to CONTRACTOR and the Contract Price reduced by a like amount via Change Order. GC -39 Page 39 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 ARTICLE 14- PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND COMPLETION Schedule of Values: 14.1. The schedule of values established as provided in 2.9 will serve as the basis for progress payments and will be incorporated into a form of application for Payment acceptable to Project Manager. Progress payments on account of Unit Price Work will be based on the number of units completed. Application for Progress Payment: 14.2. At least twenty (20) calendar days before the date established for each progress payment (but not more often than once a month), CONTRACTOR shall submit to PROFESSIONAL for review an application for Payment filled out and signed by CONTRACTOR covering the work completed as of the date of the application and accompanied by such supporting documentation as is required by the Contract Documents. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at the site or at another location agreed to in writing, the Application for Payment shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice or other documentation warranting that OWNER has received the materials and equipment free and clear of all liens and evidence that the materials and equipment are covered by appropriate property insurance and other arrangements to protect OWNER's interest therein, all of which will be satisfactory to OWNER. Payment is subject to a ten percent (10 %) retainage that will be held until the final payment or acceptance by OWNER. The amount of retainage with respect to progress payments will be as stipulated in the Agreement. CONTRACTOR's Warranty of Title: 14.3. CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials and equipment covered by any Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to OWNER no later than the time of payment free and clear of all Liens. Review of Applications for Progress Payment: 14.4. PROFESSIONAL will, within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of each Application for Payment, either indicate in writing a recommendation of payment and present the application to OWNER, or return the application to CONTRACTOR indicating in writing PROFESSIONAL's reasons for refusing to recommend payment. In the latter case, CONTRACTOR may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the application. OWNER shall, within thirty -one calendar days of presentation to him of the application for payment with PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of the amount for payment, pay CONTRACTOR amount recommended. 14.5. PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will constitute a representation by PROFESSIONAL to OWNER, based on PROFESSIONAL's on -site observations of the Work in progress as an experienced and qualified design PROFESSIONAL and on PROF - ESSIONAL's review of the Application for Payment and the accompanying data and schedules, that the Work has progressed to the point indicated; that, to the best of PROFESSIONAL's knowledge, information and belief, the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents, to a final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit Price GC -40 Page 40 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 Work under paragraph 9.10, and to any other qualifications stated in the recommendation; and that CONTRACTOR is entitled to payment of the amount recommended. However, by recommending any such payment, PROFESSIONAL will not thereby be deemed to have represented that exhaustive or continuous on -site inspections have been made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to PROFESSIONAL in the Contract Documents or that there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle CONTRACTOR to be paid additionally by OWNER or OWNER to withhold payment to CONTRACTOR. 14.6. PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of final payment will constitute an additional representation by PROFESSIONAL to OWNER that the conditions precedent to CONTRACTOR's being entitled to final payment as set forth in paragraph 14.13 have been fulfilled. 14.7. PROFESSIONAL may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if, in PROFESSIONAL's opinion, it would be incorrect to make such representations to OWNER. PROFESSIONAL may also refuse to recommend any such payment, or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests, nullify any such payment previously recommended, to such extent as may be necessary in PROFESSIONAL's opinion to protect OWNER from loss because: 14.7.1. the Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged requiring correction or replacement. 14.7.2. the Contract Price has been reduced by Written Amendment or Change Order. 14.7.3. OWNER has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work in accordance with paragraph 13.14. or 14.7.4. of PROFESSIONAL's actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in paragraphs 15.2.1 through 15.2.9 inclusive. OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by PROFESSIONAL because claims have been made against OWNER on account of CONTRACTOR's performance or furnishing of the Work or Liens have been filed in connection with the Work or there are other items entitling OWNER to a off -set against the amount recommended, but OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate written notice (with a copy to PROFESSIONAL) stating the reasons for such action. Substantial Completion: 14.8. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work ready for its intended use, CONTRACTOR shall notify OWNER and PROFESSIONAL in writing that the entire Work is substantially complete (except for items specifically listed by CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and request that PROFESSIONAL issue a certificate of Substantial Completion. Within a reasonable time thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and PROFESSIONAL shall make an inspection of the Work to determine the status of completion. If PROFESSIONAL does not consider the Work substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will notify CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefor. If PROFESSIONAL considers the Work substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will prepare and deliver to OWNER a tentative certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fix the date of Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or corrected before final payment. OWNER shall have seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which to make written objection to PROFESSIONAL as to any GC -41 Page 41 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 provisions of the certificate or attached list. If, after considering such objections, PROFESSIONAL concludes that the Work is not substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will, within fourteen days after submission of the tentative certificate to OWNER notify CONTRACTOR in writing stating the reasons therefor. If, after consideration of OWNER's, objections, PROFESSIONAL considers the Work substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will within said fourteen days execute and deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of Substantial Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be completed or corrected) reflecting such changes from the tentative certificate as PROFESSIONAL believes justified after consideration of any objections from OWNER. At the time of delivery of the tentative certificate of Substantial Completion, PROFESSIONAL will deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a written recommendation as to division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operation, safety, maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance and warranties. Unless OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in writing and so inform PROFESSIONAL prior to PROFESSIONAL's issuing the definitive certificate of Substantial Completion, PROFESSIONAL's aforesaid recommendation will be binding on OWNER and CONTRACTOR until final payment. 14.9. OWNER shall have the right to exclude CONTRACTOR from the Work after the date of Substantial Completion, but OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable acccss to complete or correct items on the tentative list. Partial Utilization: 14.10. Use by OWNER at OWNER's option of any substantially completed part of the Work which (i) has specifically been identified in the Contract Documents, or (ii) OWNER, PROFESSIONAL, and CONTRACTOR agree constitutes a separately functioning and usable part of the Work that can be used by OWNER for its intended purpose without significant interference with CONTRACTOR's performance of the remainder of the Work, may be accomplished prior to Substantial Completion of all the Work subject to the following: 14.10.1. OWNER at any time may request CONTRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to use any such part of the Work which OWNER believes to be ready for its intended use and substantially complete. If CONTRACTOR agrees, CONTRACTOR will certify to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL that said part of the Work is substantially complete and request PROFESSIONAL to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. CONTRACTOR at any time may notify OWNER and PROFESSIONAL in writing that CONTRACTOR considers any such part of the Work ready for its intended use and substantially complete and request PROFESSIONAL to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. Within a reasonable time after either such request, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and PROFESSIONAL shall make an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion. If PROFESSIONAL does not consider that part of the Work to be substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will notify OWNER and CONTRACTOR, in writing, giving the reasons therefor. If PROFESSIONAL considers that part of the Work to be substantially complete, the provisions of paragraphs 14.8 and 14.9 will apply with respect to certification of Substantial Completion of that part of the Work and the division of responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto. 14.10.2. OWNER may at any time request CONTRACTOR, in writing, to permit OWNER to take over operation of any such part of the Work although it is not substantially complete. A copy of such request will be sent to PROFESSIONAL and, within a reasonable time thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and PROFESSIONAL shall make an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion, and PROFESSIONAL will prepare a list of the items remaining to be completed or corrected thereon before final payment. If CONTRACTOR does not object in writing to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL that such part of the GC -42 Page 42 of 52 Revision Date august 2001. Work is not ready for separate operation by OWNER, PROFESSIONAL will finalize the list of items to be completed or corrected and will deliver such list to OWNER and CONTRACTOR together with a written recommendation as to the division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operation, safety, maintenance, utilities, insurance, warranties and guarantees for that part of the Work which will become binding upon OWNER and CONTRACTOR at the time when OWNER takes over such operation (unless they shall have otherwise agreed in writing and so informed PROFESSIONAL). During such operation and prior to Substantial Completion of such part of the Work, OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct items on said list and to complete other related Work. 14.10.3. No occupancy or separate operation of part of the Work will be accomplished prior to compliance with the requirements of paragraph 5.15 in respect of property insurance. 14.10.4. OWNER, may at its discretion, reduce the amount of retainage subject to Beneficial Occu pancy. Final Inspection: 14.11. Upon written notice from CONTRACTOR that the entire Work or an agreed upon portion thereof is complete, PROFESSIONAL will make a final inspection with OWNER and CONTRACTOR and will notify CONTRACTOR in writing of all particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete or defective. CONTRACTOR shall immediately take such measures as are necessary to remedy such defi- ciencies. Final Application for Payment: 14.12. After CONTRACTOR has completed all such corrections to the satisfaction of PROFESSIONAL and OWNER and delivered in accordance with the Contract Documents all maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds, certificates or other evidence of insurance required by 5.2, certificates of inspection, marked -up record documents and other documents, CONTRACTOR may make application for final payment following the procedure for progress payments. The final Application for Payment shall be accompanied (except as previously delivered) by: (i) all documentation called for in the Contract Documents, including but not limited to the evidence of insurance required, (ii) consent of the surety, if any, to final payment, and (iii) complete and legally effective releases or waivers (satisfactory to OWNER) of all liens arising out of or filed in connection with the Work. In lieu of such releases or waivers of liens and as approved by OWNER, CONTRACTOR may furnish receipts or release in full and an affidavit of CONTRACTOR that (i) the releases and receipts include all labor, services, material and equipment for which a lien could be filed, and (ii) all payrolls, material and equipment bills and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which OWNER or OWNER's property might in any way be responsible have been paid or otherwise satisfied. If any Subcontractor or supplier fails to furnish such a release or receipt in full, CONTRACTOR may furnish a bond or other collateral satisfactory to OWNER to indemnify OWNER against any lien. 14.12.1. No application for final payment will be accepted by OWNER until approved as -built documents by CONTRACTOR are accepted and approved by PROFESSIONAL. 14.12.2. Notwithstanding any other provision of these contract documents to the contrary, OWNER and PROFESSIONAL are under no duty or obligation whatsoever to any vendor, materials provider, Subcontractor, laborer or other party to ensure that payments due and owing by CONTRACTOR to any of GC -43 Page 43 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 them are or will be made. Such parties shall rely only on CONTRACTOR's surety bonds for remedy of nonpayment by him. CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and resolve all claims made by Subcontractors, indemnifying OWNER and PROFESSIONAL for all claims arising from or resulting from Subcontractor or supplier or material men or laborer services in connection with this project. 14.12.3. General Indemnity: CONTRACTOR shall indemnify OWNER and PROFESSIONAL for any damages sustained, including lost profits, resulting from CONTRACTOR's failure or refusal to perform the work required by these contract documents. Final Payment and Acceptance: 14.13. If, on the basis of PROFESSIONAL's observation of the Work during construction and final inspection and PROFESSIONAL's review of the final Application for Payment and accompanying documentation as required by the Contract Documents, PROFESSIONAL is satisfied that the Work has been completed and CONTRACTOR's other obligations under the Contract Documents have been fulfilled, PROFESSIONAL will, within ten (10) working days after receipt of the final Application for Payment, indicate in writing PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of payment and present the Application to OWNER for payment. At the same time PROFESSIONAL will also give written notice to OWNER and CONTRACTOR that the Work is acceptable subject to the provisions of 14.6. Otherwise, PROFESSIONAL will return the application to CONTRACTOR, indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to recommend final payment, in which case CONTRACTOR shall make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application. After the presentation to OWNER of the application and accompanying documentation, in appropriate form and substance and with PROFESSIONAL's recommendation and notice of acceptability, the amount recommended by PROFESSIONAL will become due and will be paid by OWNER to CONTRACTOR. 14.14. If, through no fault of CONTRACTOR, final completion of the Work is significantly delayed and if PROFESSIONAL so confirms, OWNER shall, upon receipt of CONTRACTOR's final Application for Payment and recommendation of PROFESSIONAL and without terminating the Agreement, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance to be held by OWNER for Work not fully completed or corrected is Tess than the retainage stipulated in the Contract and if bonds have been furnished as required in Article 5, the written consent of the surety to the payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by CONTRACTOR to PROFESSIONAL with the application for such payment. Such payment shall be made under the terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims. CONTRACTOR's Continuing Obligation: 14.15. CONTRACTOR's obligation to perform and complete the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents shall be absolute. Neither recommendation of any progress or final payment by PROFESSIONAL, nor the issuance of a certificate of Substantial Completion, nor any payment by OWNER to CONTRACTOR under the Contract Documents, nor any use or occupancy of the Work or any part thereof by OWNER, nor any act of acceptance by OWNER nor any failure to do so, nor any review and approval of a Shop Drawing or sample submission, nor the issuance of a notice of acceptability by PROFESSIONAL pursuant to paragraph 14.13, nor any correction of defective Work by OWNER will constitute an acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents or a release of CONTRACTOR's obligation to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents (except as provided in paragraph 14.16). GC -44 Page 44 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 Waiver of Claims: 14.16. The making and acceptance of final payment will constitute: 14.16.1. A waiver of all claims by OWNER against CONTRACTOR, except claims arising from unsettled liens, from defective Work appearing after final inspection pursuant to 14.11, from failure to comply with the Contract Documents or the terms of any special guarantees specified therein, or from CONTRACTOR's continuing obligations under the Contract Documents; and 14.16.2. A waiver of all claims by CONTRACTOR against OWNER other than those previously made in writing and still unsettled. _ GC -45 Page 45 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 • ARTICLE 15-- SUSPENSION OF WORK AND TERMINATION OWNER May Suspend Work: 15.1. OWNER may, at any time and without cause, suspend the Work or any portion thereof for a period of not more than ninety days by notice in writing to CONTRACTOR and PROFESSIONAL which will fix the date on which Work will be resumed. CONTRACTOR shall resume the Work on the date so fixed. CONTRACTOR shall be allowed an adjustment in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Time, or both, directly attributable to any suspension if CONTRACTOR makes an approved claim therefor as provided in Articles 11 and 12. Termination For Cause: 15.2. Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events: 15.2. 1. if CONTRACTOR commences a voluntary case under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code), as now or hereafter in effect, or if CONTRACTOR takes any equivalent or similar action by filing a petition or otherwise under any other federal or state law in effect at such time relating to the bankruptcy or insolvency; 15.2.2. if a petition is filed against CONTRACTOR under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code as now or hereafter in effect at the time of filing, or if a petition is filed seeking any such equivalent or similar relief against CONTRACTOR under any other federal or state law in effect at the time relating to bankruptcy or insolvency; 15.2.3. if CONTRACTOR makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; 15.2.4. if a trustee, receiver, custodian or agent of CONTRACTOR is appointed under applicable law or under contract, whose appointment or authority to take charge of property of CONTRACTOR is for the purpose of enforcing a Lien against such property or for the purpose of general administration of such property for the benefit of CONTRACTOR's creditors; 15.2.5. if CONTRACTOR admits in writing an inability to pay its debts generally, as they become due; 15.2.6. if CONTRACTOR fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents (including, but not limited to, failure to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment or failure to adhere to the progress schedule established under paragraph 2.9 as revised from time to time); 15.2.7. if CONTRACTOR disregards Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction; 15.2.8. if CONTRACTOR disregards the authority of PROFESSIONAL; or 15.2.9. if CONTRACTOR otherwise violates in any substantial way any provisions of the Contract Documents, OWNER may, after giving CONTRACTOR (and the surety, if there be one) seven days' written notice and to the extent permitted by Laws and Regulations, terminate the services of CONTRACTOR, exclude GC -46 Page 46 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 CONTRACTOR from the site and take possession of the Work and of all CONTRACTORS tools, appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the site and use the same to the full extent they could be used by CONTRACTOR (without liability to CONTRACTOR for trespass or conversion), incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the site or for which OWNER has paid CONTRACTOR but which are stored elsewhere, and finish the Work as OWNER may deem expedient. In such case CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds the direct, indirect and consequential costs of completing the Work (including but not limited to fees and charges of PROFESSIONALs, architects, attorneys and other PROFESSIONALs and court and arbitration costs) such excess will be paid to CONTRACTOR. If such costs exceed such unpaid balance, CONTRACTOR shall pay the difference to OWNER. Such costs incurred by OWNER will be approved as to reasonableness by PROFESSIONAL and incorporated in a Change Order, but when exercising any rights or remedies under this paragraph, OWNER shall not be required to obtain the lowest price for the Work performed. 15.3. In the event OWNER terminates the contract for cause and it is subsequently judicially determined that there was no cause for termination, the termination for convenience provision will be the means for disposition of the balance of the contract obligations. Termination for Convenience 15.4. Upon seven working days' written notice to CONTRACTOR and PROFESSIONAL, OWNER may, without cause and without prejudice to any other right or remedy of OWNER, elect to terminate the Contract. In such case, CONTRACTOR shall be paid (without duplication of any items): 15.4.1. For completed and acceptable Work executed in accordance with the Contract Documents prior to the effective date of termination, including fair and reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such Work; 15.4.2. For expenses sustained prior to the effective date of termination in performing services and furnishing labor, materials or equipment as required by the Contract Documents in connection with uncompleted Work, plus fair and reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such expenses; 15.4.3. For all claims, costs, losses and damages incurred in settlement of terminated contracts with Subcontractors, suppliers and others; and 15.4.4. For reasonable expenses directly attributable to termination. CONTRACTOR shall not be paid on account of loss of anticipated profits or revenue or other economic loss arising out of or resulting from such termination. 15.5. Where CONTRACTOR's services have been so terminated by OWNER, the termination will not affect any rights or remedies of OWNER against CONTRACTOR then existing or which may thereafter accrue. Any retention or payment of moneys due CONTRACTOR by OWNER will not release CONTRACTOR from liability. CONTRACTOR May Stop Work or Terminate: 15.6. If through no act or fault of CONTRACTOR, the Work is suspended for a period of more than GC -47 Page 47 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 ninety calendar days by OWNER or under an order of court or other public authority, or PROFESSIONAL fails to act on any Application for Payment within thirty days after it is submitted or OWNER fails for thirty-one days to pay CONTRACTOR any sum finally determined to be due, then CONTRACTOR may upon seven working days' written notice to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL and provided OWNER or PROFESSIONAL did not remedy such suspension or failure within that time, terminate the Agreement and recover from OWNER payment on the same terms as provided in 15.2. In lieu of terminating the Agreement and without prejudice to any other right or remedy, if PROFESSIONAL has failed to act on an Application for Payment within thirty days after it is submitted or OWNER has failed for thirty -one calendar days after it is submitted to pay CONTRACTOR any sum finally determined to be due, CONTRACTOR may upon seven days' written notice to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL stop the Work until receipt of payment of all such amounts due CONTRACTOR, including interest thereon. The provisions of this paragraph are not intended to preclude CONTRACTOR from making claim under Articles 11 and 12 for an increase in Contract Price or Contract Time or otherwise for expenses or damage directly attributable to CONTRACTOR's stopping Work as permitted by this paragraph. The provisions of this paragraph shall not relieve CONTRACTOR of the obligations under paragraph 6.30 to carry on the Work in accordance with the progress schedule and without delay during disputes and disagreements with OWNER.

Box 600 Augusta, Georgia 30903 ATTENTION: Mr. Tom Dunaway SUBJECT: Report of Geotechnical Exploration East Butler Creek Sanitary Sewer Interceptor Upgrade Richmond County, Georgia Graves Engineering Project No. G- 071515 - Gentlemen: Graves Engineering Services, Inc. is pleased to submit this report of our exploration services for the proposed project. Our services were provided in accordance with your authorization of our proposal number P- 071119. This report presents a review of the information provided to us, a discussion of the site and subsurface conditions, and our earthwork recommendations. The appendix contains the results of our field and laboratory testing. Project Information The project consists of the East Butler Creek Sanitary Sewer Interceptor Upgrade project in Richmond County, Georgia. The sewer line project starts from near the intersection of Butler Creek and Lexington Road and extends approximately 25,000 linear feet to the east to the sewage treatment plant located on Doug Barnard Parkway. The routes cross 3 major roads and two Norfolk Southern Railroads. The gravity main is to be constructed of 42 to 48 -inch ductile iron pipe to within 5 to 25 feet of existing grades. We understand that most of the road and railroad crossings are planned to be bored and jacked such that the pavement and rail sections will remain intact. The route is shown on preliminary plan drawings prepared by and provided to us by W.R. Toole Engineers, Inc.. The route had been surveyed and the manhole locations were staked in the field. Purpose Of Exploration The purpose of this exploration was to obtain specific subsurface data at the site and to provide earthwork recommendations for the proposed project. W.R. Toole Engineers, Inc. April 3, 2007 -Page 2- Site Conditions We conducted a site reconnaissance to observe and document surface conditions at the site. Information gathered was used to help us interpret the subsurface data and to detect conditions which could affect our recommendations. The main easement generally runs adjacent or parallel to Butler Creek and to Phinizy Road in the central section of the route. The topography of the route is rolling with approximately 55 feet of topographic relief. Based on the information contained on the preliminary Plan and Profile drawings, the existing ground surface elevations along the route range from approximately 129 to 180 feet MSL. The route extends through several drainage ditch and low -lying areas. Surface water was noted at numerous locations along the route and generally corresponds to the locations of drainage areas, Butler Creek and associated low- lying(wetland ?) areas. Sections of the site are located just off roadways(Deans Bridge Road, Phinizy Road, Peach Orchard Road and Georgia Highway #56) or railroad easements and these areas are generally cleared of vegetation and were covered with gravel, grassed or had surface soils exposed. Surface soils exposed consist of a sandy organic topsoil or coastal plain sands and silts. The remaining portions of the route extend through areas that are lightly to heavily wooded with brush, hardwoods and pine. Some clearing was performed to provide access to boring locations. Site Geologic Conditions The site is located near the fall line which is the contact area of the Upper Coastal Plain Province and the Piedmont Province. The Coastal Plain soils were deposited during inundation by the ancient oceans and consist of random layers of fine sands and silts interbedded with lenses of clay. The Georgia Piedmont Province is a broad plateau gently sloping from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Coastal Plain, covering a distance of approximately one hundred miles in this area. Based on published literature, the site is underlain by Coastal Plain sediments consisting of interbedded silts, sands, and clays. These soils overlay residual soils and crystalline rocks of the Piedmont. Subsurface Conditions The subsurface conditions were explored with widely spaced soil test borings drilled according to the procedures presented in the appendix. The boring locations and depths were selected by Graves Engineering and are indicated by station and manhole number on the attached boring records(no boring map provided). The actual field boring locations were determined by our field crew from staked locations on the route. Boring elevations were obtained by interpolation between contours on the drawing provided to us. The boring elevations shown in the appendix should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the method used. W.R. Toole Engineers, Inc. April 3, 2007 -Page 3- The subsurface conditions encountered at the boring locations are shown on the Test Boring Records in the Appendix. These Boring Records represent our interpretation of the subsurface conditions based on the field logs, visual examination of field samples by an engineer and tests of the field samples. The lines designating the interface between various strata on the Boring Records represent the approximate interface location. In addition, the transition between strata may be gradual. Water levels shown on the Boring Records represent the conditions only at the time of our exploration. A total of 29 soil test borings were drilled along the route to depths ranging from 10 to 25 feet below the ground surface. The soil test borings revealed a subsurface profile generally consisting of typical coastal plain deposits of interbedded sands and clayey silts. These soils were encountered to the boring termination depths. The surficial layer consisted of loamy and sandy, organic topsoils. The surficial layer was generally encountered to a depths ranging from 2 to 18 inches below the ground surface. The coastal plain soils typically consisted of sands with varying fine grained particle content(SP to SC) interbedded with fine grained clayey silts. The sandy soils were generally very loose to very firm in consistency with standard penetration resistance's ranged from 3 to 27 blows per foot with an average of approximately 13. The coastal plain clayey silts were recorded to be generally soft to very stiff in consistency with standard penetration resistance's of 3 to 25 blows per foot recorded. Borings B -1, B -13, and B -28 encountered lenses of a soft to firm, fine sandy, clayey silt( "muck" with layers of fiberous organics(peat)) at depths ranging from 6 to 12 feet. Standard penetration resistance's ranged from 3 to 6 blows per foot. Groundwater Conditions • Groundwater was encountered in the borings at depths ranging from 1.0 to 16.0 feet at one to several days after drilling. In silty sands the water levels can usually be determined accurately near the time of drilling. In fine grained soils and clayey sands, it may take several days for water levels to stabilize. In addition, fluctuations in the groundwater level can occur due to variations in rainfall, evaporation, { construction activity, surface runoff, and other site specific factors. The highest groundwater levels are generally encountered in early spring and the lowest in late summer. Utility Construction Considerations Based on our review of the project drawings, the sanitary sewer piping(gravity flow) will be installed to depths ranging generally from 5 to 25 feet. Some deep cuts are to be extended below the groundwater level and are located in areas with relatively clean(slightly silty to silty) fine to coarse sands. This may require wellpoint dewatering as the excavation proceeds(please see the construction water control section of this report). The soils encountered in all areas of the route that were explored should be amiable to excavation with normal excavation equipment. We do not anticipate that any significant difficult excavation will be encountered. We recommend that the excavations be shored, sloped or benched as required to provide stability and a safe work environment. For the soils encountered, we recommend that cut slopes of 2H:1 V be utilized. This may require a wide temporary easement at some locations. Heavy construction equipment and materials removed from the excavations should not be placed within 5 to 10 feet of the top of the excavation. All excavations should comply with applicable local, state and federal safety regulations including the current OSHA Excavation and Trench Safety Standards. It is our understanding that these regulations are strictly enforced and if they are not closely followed, the owner and contractor could be liable for substantial penalties. { W.R. Toole Engineers, Inc. April 3, 2007 -Page 4- i Since preliminary plans call for the pipe at several locations to be installed below the groundwater table, we recommend that 12 to 18 inches of clean stone be utilized for pipe bedding in wet areas. Compaction of pipe backfill at several locations may be extremely difficult due to the anticipated wet conditions. In addition, wet silty and clayey soils removed from the excavations will require significant drying time prior to reutilization as fill. Therefore, construction planning should assume that significant volumes of select stone bedding and initial pipe backfill will be required. Compacted Fill Recommendations We recommend that soils to be used as trench backfills be free of debris and have less than 2% by weight fibrous organic material. They should have a liquid limit less than 60 and a plasticity index less than 25. Before filling operations begin, representative samples of each proposed fill material should be collected. The samples should be tested to determine the maximum dry density, optimum moisture content, natural moisture content, gradation and plasticity of the soil. These tests are needed for quality control during compaction and also to determine if the fill material is acceptable. We have conducted laboratory testing and visually inspected soil samples obtained from the site. We expect that most of the sands and silts encountered in the borings are acceptable for use as compacted backfilI. Some of the soils near borings B -1, B -13 and B -28 may not be acceptable for use as compacted fill due to organic content. In addition, as stated previously, wet soils(especially clayey soils) removed from the excavations may require significant drying time prior to reutilization as fill. We recommend that all compacted fill be constructed by spreading acceptable soil in loose layers not more than 10 inches thick. The fill should be compacted in thin lifts to at least 95 percent of the Standard Proctor maximum thy density (ASTM D -698). The upper 12 inches of fill beneath pavements should be compacted to at least 100 percent of the Standard Proctor maximum dry density . The moisture content of the fill soils should be maintained within +3 and -3 percentage points of the optimum moisture content as determined from the Proctor compaction test. This provision may require the contractor to dry the soils during periods of wet weather or wet the soils during the hot summer months. We recommend that the backfill placement and compaction be observed and documented by the geotechnical engineer. Significant deviations, either from specifications or good practice, should be brought to the attention of the owner's representative, along with appropriate recommendations. At least one field density test should be performed for every 100 to 200 linear feet of trench for each lift. Retaining Structures We understand that sheetpiling may be utilized as shoring for the excavations for the bore and jack pits. The sheetpiling will act as a below grade walls when the pits are excavated. These sheetpile walls must be designed to resist soil pressures imposed on them. Walls which are permitted to rotate at the top, such as sheetpiling walls, should be designed to resist "active" lateral earth pressure. Typically, a top rotation of about 1 inch per 10 feet height of wall is sufficient to develop active pressure conditions in soils similar to those encountered at the site. To account for the active" lateral pressures of retained earth, we recommend that the temporary retaining system design assume that the soils behind the bracing system will apply a triangular stress distribution based on the excavation depth and the following strength parameters for the natural soils at this site: • W.R.

The above values are actual anticipated values and do not contain any safety factors. If dewatering systems are not provided, then the walls should be designed to resist the full hydrostatic head in addition to the lateral earth pressures in areas below the water table. The lateral pressures developed by surcharge loads from slopes, heavy construction equipment, stored material, stockpiled soils, etc. near the top of the excavation must be added to the lateral soil stresses to determine the horizontal loads which must be resisted. In addition, transient loads imposed on the walls by construction equipment during construction should be considered. Excessively heavy equipment (that could impose temporary excessive pressures or long term excessive residual pressures against the constructed walls) should not be allowed within about 5 feet (horizontally) of the walls. Construction Water Control We expect that groundwater control will be required for most of the alignment due to the presence of shallow groundwater. In areas where shallow excavations extend only a few feet below the groundwater level, groundwater can likely be removed from the excavation as it proceeds. This has been done effectively on similar projects by means of pumping from low areas as the excavation proceeds. However, since some of the excavations will extend several feet below the groundwater level in sandy soils, we anticipate that a wellpoint dewatering system may be required at these locations. Wellpoints are small diameter wells that are jetted or driven into the soil(at 3 to 10 foot spacings depending upon soil type) and are placed in straight lines along the area to be drained. They are connected at the top to a horizontal suction pipe called a header and then connected to pump specifically designed for dewatering work. The wellpoints may require staging at various levels as the excavation proceeds to provide the required drawdown of the water table. We recommend that the design of the dewatering system be performed by a specialty contractor that is experienced with similar conditions. We also recommend that pumping continue until the trench is completely backfilled such that backfilling can be completed in as dry a condition possible. . W.R. Toole Engineers, Inc.

If the project information section in this report contains incorrect information or if additional information is available, you should convey the P , Y Y correct or additional information to us and retain us to review our recommendations. We can then modify our recommendations if they are inappropriate for the proposed project. Regardless of the thoroughness of a geotechnical exploration, there is always a possibility that conditions between borings will be different from those at specific boring locations and that conditions will not be as anticipated by the designers or contractors. In addition, the construction process may itself alter soil conditions. Therefore, experienced geotechnical personnel should observe and document the construction procedures used and the conditions encountered. Unanticipated conditions and inadequate procedures should be reported to the design team along with timely recommendations to solve the problems created.

The borings were made by mechanically twisting a continuous steel flight hollow stem auger into the soil. At regular intervals, soil samples obtained with a standard 1.4 inch I.D., two inch O.D., split - barrel sampler. The sampler was first seated six inches to penetrate any Ioose cuttings, then driven an additional foot with blows of a 140 -pound hammer falling 30 inches. The number of hammer blows required to drive the sampler the final foot was recorded as the "penetration resistance ". The penetration resistance, when properly evaluated, is an index to the soil strength and foundation supporting capability. Representative portions of the soil samples, obtained from the sampler, were placed in glass jars and transported to our laboratory. In the laboratory, the samples were examined by an engineer to verify the driller's field classifications. Test Boring Records are attached, graphically showing the soil descriptions and penetration resistances. PERCENT FINES For this test, each sample was dried and then washed over a No. 200 sieve. The percentage of soil by weight passing the No. 200 sieve is the "Percent Fines" (the portion of the sample in the silt and clay size range). This test was conducted in general accordance with ASTM D 1140. Materials finer than the number 200 sieve were suspended in water and the grain size distribution computed from the time rate of settlement of the different size particles. These tests were similar to those described by ASTM ID 421 and D 422. The test results are summarized on the enclosed Soil Test Boring Records. LIQUID AND PLASTIC LIMITS Liquid Limit and Plastic Limit tests aid in the classification of the soils and provide an indication of the soil behavior with moisture change. The Plasticity Index is bracketed by the Liquid Limit (LL) and the Plastic Limit (PL). The Liquid Limit is the moisture content at which the soil will flow as a heavy viscous fluid, as determined in accordance with ASTM D 423. The Plastic Limit is the moisture content at which the soil begins to lose its plasticity, as determined in accordance with ASTM ID 424. The data obtained are summarized on the enclosed Soil Test Boring Records. GRA 1220 W. Wheeler Parkway Suite F ENGINEERING SERVICES, INC. Augusta, GA 30909 (706) 651 -9922 August 8, 2007 W.R. Toole Engineers, Inc. P.O. Box 600 Augusta, Georgia 30903 ATTENTION: Mr. Tom Dunaway SUBJECT: Addendum to Report of Geotechnical Exploration East Butler Creek Sanitary Sewer Interceptor Upgrade Richmond County, Georgia Graves Engineering Project No. G- 071515A Gentlemen: Graves Engineering Services, Inc. is pleased to submit this addendum to our report of our exploration services for the proposed project. Our additional services were provided in accordance with your verbal authorization. The project consists of the East Butler Creek Sanitary Sewer Interceptor Upgrade project in Richmond County, Georgia. Graves Engineering recently conducted a geotechnical exploration for the subject project. The results of our geotechnical exploration are contained in our report no. G- 07515, dated April 3, 2007. We understand that the section of the sewer line near the existing sewage treatment plant located on Doug Barnard Parkway has been realigned to the north. An additional boring was requested in this area due to the nature of the boring and jacking operations for the Doug Barnard Parkway crossing. Extensive excavation (20 -21' deep) is required very near the roadway for connection to an existing sewer line. We understand that vertical trench stabilization measures will be provided by sheet piling or other approved methods. The new route is shown on preliminary plan drawings prepared by and provided to us by W.R. Toole Engineers, Inc.. This area of the new route had not been surveyed at the time of our field work. The subsurface conditions were explored with one additional soil test boring drilled according to the procedures presented in the appendix. The boring location and depth were selected by Graves Engineering and are indicated by station and manhole number on the attached boring records(no boring map provided). The actual field boring locations were determined by our engineer by taped distances from existing site features. Boring elevations were obtained by interpolation between contours on the drawing provided to us. The boring location and elevation shown in the appendix should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the method used. I W.R. Toole Engineers, Inc. August 8, 2007 -Page 2- The soil test boring revealed a subsurface profile generally consistent with those encountered previously(consisting of typical coastal plain deposits of interbedded sands and clayey silts). These soils were encountered to the boring termination depth. The surficial layer consisted of a sandy organic topsoil. The surficial layer was encountered to a depth of 6 inches below the ground surface. The coastal plain soils typically consisted of sands with varying fine grained particle content(SW to SC) interbedded with fine grained clayey silts. The sandy soils were generally loose to very firm in 1 consistency with standard penetration resistance's ranging from 8 to 21 blows per foot. The coastal plain clayey silts were recorded to be generally stiff to very stiff in consistency with standard penetration resistance's of 9 to 22 blows per foot recorded. Groundwater was encountered in the boring at a depth 16.0 feet at one day after drilling. In silty sands ( the water levels can usually be determined accurately near the time of drilling. In fine grained soils and clayey sands, it may take several days for water levels to stabilize. In addition, fluctuations in the groundwater level can occur due to variations in rainfall, evaporation, construction activity, surface runoff, and other site specific factors. The highest groundwater levels are generally encountered in early spring and the lowest in late summer. We have reviewed our original report recommendations and feel they are applicable to this location also. We anticipate that construction water control per our original report will be required at this location. We will be happy to discuss our recommendations with you and would welcome the opportunity to provide the additional studies or services necessary to complete this project. We appreciate the opportunity to provide our professional services and look forward to working with you on the remainder of this project and on future projects.

EPA FORM 6100 -4 (DBE Subcontractor Utilization Form) EPD -10 SIX GOOD FAITH EFORTS These good faith efforts are required methods to ensure that DBEs have the opportunity to compete for procurements funded by EPA financial assistance dollars. Such good faith efforts are described as follows: 1. Ensure DBEs are made aware of contracting opportunities to the fullest extent practicable through outreach and recruitment activities. This will include placing DBEs on solicitation lists and soliciting them whenever there are potential sources. 2. Make information on forthcoming opportunities available to DBEs and arrange time frames for contracts and establish delivery schedules, where the requirements permit, in a way that encourages and facilitates participation by DBEs in the competitive process. This includes, whenever possible, posting solicitation for bids or proposals for a minimum of 30 calendar days before the bid or proposal closing date. 3. Consider in the contracting process whether firms competing for large contracts could subcontract with DBEs. This will indude dividing total requirements when economically feasible into smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by DBEs in the competitive process. 4. Encourage contracting with a consortium of DBEs when a contract is too large for one of these firms to handle individually. 5. Use the resources, services, and assistance of the Department of Transportation (DOT), Small Business Administration (SBA), and the Minority Business Development Agency of the Department of Commerce (MBDA). 6. If the Contractor awards subcontracts, it must take the steps described in items (1) through (5) listed above. Please note that DBEs, MBEs, and WBEs must be certified by EPA, SBA, or DOT (or by state, local, Tribal, or private entities whose certification criteria match EPA's). DBEs must be certified in order to be counted toward the recipient's MBE/WBE accomplishments. Depending upon the certifying agency, a DBE may be classified as a DBE, a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), or a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE). he documentation of these good faith solicitation efforts must be detailed in order to allow for satisfactory review. Such documentation might include fax confirmation sheets, copies of solicitation letters /emails, printouts of the online solicitations, printouts of online search results, affidavits of publication in newspapers, etc. The prime contractor is strongly encouraged to follow up each written, fax, or email solicitation with at least 1 logged phone call. The prime contractor must employ the Six Good Faith Efforts to subcontract with DBEs, even if the prime contractor has achieved its fair share objectives. If a DBE subcontractor fails to complete work under the subcontract for any reason, the prime contractor must notify the Owner in writing prior to any termination and must employ the six good faith efforts described above if using a replacement subcontractor. Any proposed changes from an approved DBE subcontractor must be reported to the Owner and to EPD on the Changes to Approved Subcontractors Form prior to initiation of the action. EPA Forms Nos. 6100 -3 and 6100 -4 must also be submitted to EPD for new DBE subcontracts.

The obligation to comply, however, is the Contractor's and failure of such a group to fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the Contractor's noncompliance. 9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been established. The Contractor, however, is required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women, both minority and non - minority. Consequently, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a particular group is employed in a substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the Contractor has achieved its goals for women generally, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is underutilized). 10. The Contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative standards to discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. 11. The Contractor shall not enter into any Subcontract with any person or firm debarred from Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246. 12. The Contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these specifications and of the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspension, termination and cancellation of existing subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and its implementing regulations, by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Any Contractor who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in violation of these specifications and Executive Order 11246, as amended. 13. The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specification, shall implement specific affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in paragraph 7 of these specifications, so as to achieve maximum results from its efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity. If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of the Executive Order, the implementing regulations, or these specifications, the Director shall proceed in accordance with 41 CFR 60 -4.8. 14. The Contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports relating to the provisions hereof as may be required by the Government and to keep records. Records shall at least include for each employee the name, address, telephone numbers, construction trade, union affiliation, if any, employee identification number when assigned, social security number, race, sex, status (e.g., mechanic, apprentice, trainee, helper, or laborer), dates of changes in status, hours worked per week in the indicated trade, rate of pay, and locations at which the work was performed.

Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon the application of other laws which establish different standards of compliance or upon the application of requirements for the hiring of local or other area residents (e.g., those under the Public Works Employment Act of 1977 and the Community Development Block Grant Program). EPD -19 Davis -Bacon and Related Acts Labor Standards Provisions for Federally Assisted Contracts Wage Rates are county specific for Heavy Construction and can be found at: http:/ /www.qpo.gov /davisbacon /ga.html Section 5.5 Contract provisions and related matters. (a) The Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires the contracting officer to insert in full in any contract in excess of $2,000 which is entered into for the actual construction, alteration and /or repair, including painting and decorating, of a public building or public work, or building or work financed in whole or in part from Federal funds or in accordance with guarantees of the EPA or financed from funds obtained by pledge of any contract of a Federal agency to make a loan, grant, or annual contribution and which is subject to the labor standards provisions of any of the acts listed in section 5.1, the following clauses: (1) Minimum wages. (I) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work will be paid unconditionally and not Tess often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR Part the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at the time of payment computed at rates not Tess than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and mechanics. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1 (b) (2) of the Davis -Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (a) (1) (iv) of this section; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage letermination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in section 5.5 (a). (4). . aborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein: Provided, that the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including any additional classification and wage rates conformed under paragraph (a) (1) (ii) of this section) and the Davis -Bacon poster (WH -1321) shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers. (ii) (A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have been met: (1) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and (2) Except with respect to helpers as defined in 29 CFR 5.2 (n) (4), the work be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination; and (3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination. (4) With respect to helpers as defined in 29 CFR 5.2 (n) (4), such a classification prevails in the area in which the work is performed. (B) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration (W &H, ESA), U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20210. The Administrator W &H, ESA, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30 -day period that additional time is necessary. (Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB control number 1215- 0140.) (C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the EPD -20 recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Administrator W &H, ESA for determination. The Administrator W &H, ESA, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30 -day period that additional time is necessary. (Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB control number 1215 - 0140.) (D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determination pursuant to subparagraphs (1) (B) or (C) of this paragraph, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification. (iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof. (iv) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reason anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, provided, that the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis -Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for meeting the obligations under the plan or program. (Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB control number 1225 - 0140.) (2) Withholding. The EPA shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other Federal assisted contract subject to Davis -Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work, all or part of the wages required by the contract, the EPA may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased. (3) Payrolls and Basic Records. (I) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work. Such records shall contain the name, address, and Social Security Number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash 'quivalents thereof of the types described in section 1 (b) (2) (B) of the Davis -Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours ,vorked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1 (b) (2) (B) of the Davis -Bacon Act, the contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs. (Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB control 1215 -0140 and 1215 - 0017.) (ii) (A) The contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is performed a copy of all payrolls to the owner. The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under section 5.5 (a) (3) (I) of regulations, 29 CFR Part 5. This information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form 347 is available for this purpose and may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents (Federal Stock Number 029 - 005 - 00014 -1), U.S. Govemment Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. (Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB control number 1215 - 0149.) (B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance," signed by the contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the contract and shall certify the following: (1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be maintained under section 5.5 (a) (3) (I) of 29 CFR Part 5 and that such information is correct and complete; (2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice and trainee) employed on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other then permissible deductions as set forth in Regulations, 29 CFR Part 3; EPD -21 (3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not Tess than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract. The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form 347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the "Statement of Compliance" required by paragraph (a) (3) (ii) (B) of this section. (D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under Section 1001 of Title 18 and Section 231 of Title 31 of the United States Code. (iii) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (a) (3) (I) of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the U.S. EPA or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, the EPA may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12. (4) Apprentices and Trainees (I) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an _ >__ _ apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater then the ratio permitted to the contractor as to entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In additions, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator W &H, ESA determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. (ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at Tess than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the U.S. Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. (iii) Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees and journeymen under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR Part 30. (5) Compliance with Copeland Act requirements. The contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR Part 3, which re incorporated by reference in this contract. (6) Subcontracts.

The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5. (7) Contract termination: debarment. A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12. (8) Compliance with Davis -Bacon and Related Act requirements. All rulings and interpretations of the Davis -Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR Parts 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract. (9) Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this contract shall be subject to the general disputes clause of this contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR Parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives. (10) Certification of Eligibility. (i) By entering into this contract, the contractor certifies that neither it (nor he or she) nor any person or firm who has an interest in the contractor's firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of section 3 (a) of the Davis -Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12 (a) (1).

(1) Overtime requirements. No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed on such work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives :ompensation at a rate not less than one and one -half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek. (2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (b) (1) of this section the contractor and any subcontractor responsible therefore shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (b) (1) of this section, in the sum of $10 for each calendar day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek or forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph (b) (1) of this section. (3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages. The U.S. EPA shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld, from any monies payable on account of work performed by the contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other Federally- assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same prime contractor, such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in paragraph (b) (2) of this section. (4) Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses set forth in paragraph (b) (1) through (4) of this section and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with the clauses set forth in paragraphs (b) (1) through (4) of this section. In addition to the clauses contained in paragraph (b), in any contract subject only to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act and not to any of the other statutes cited in section 5.1, the Administrator of EPA shall cause or require the contracting officer to insert a clause requiring that the contractor or subcontractor shall maintain payrolls and basic payroll records during the course of the work and shall preserve them for a period of three years from the completion of the contract for all laborers and mechanics, including guards and watchmen, working on the contract. Such records shall contain the name and address of each such employee, social security number, correct classifications, hours worked, deductions made, and actual wages paid. Further, the ■dministrator of EPA shall cause or require the contracting officer to insert in any such contract a clause providing that the records to be maintained under this paragraph shall be made available by the contractor or subcontractor for inspection, copying, or transcription authorized by representatives of the U.S. EPA and the Department of Labor, and the contractor or subcontractor will permit such representative to interview employees during working hours on the job.

END OF GENERAL DECISION AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT SPECIAL CONDITIONS AND INFORMATION GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION DIVISION SPECIAL CONDITIONS AND INFORMATION FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS FUNDED UNDER THE AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT THROUGH THE FEDERALLY ASSISTED STATE REVOLVING LOAN FUNDS IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA May 27, 2009 Following is the standard language that must be incorporated into construction contract documents and in all solicitations for offers and bids for all construction contracts or subcontracts to be funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act through the Federally- assisted State Revolving Fund in the State of Georgia and information regarding these Special Conditions. The requirements in these Special Conditions shall not relieve the participants in this project of responsibility to meet any requirements of other portions of the construction contract or of other agencies, whether these other requirements are more or less stringent The requirements in these Special Conditions must be satisfied in order for work to be funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. ARRA Special Conditions and Information 1 US2008 690958.1 TABLE OF CONTENTS 'nstructions & General Requirements 3 Contractor Acknowledgement of Buy American Requirements 5 Bid Certification 6 Information Checklist for Waiver Request to US EPA 7 Table 1: Foreign and Domestic Construction Materials Price Comparison Worksheet 8 Definitions 9 Implementation of Buy American requirements 10 Step -by -Step Waiver process. 11 ARRA Special Conditions and Information 2 OS2008 690958.1 INSTRUCTIONS & GENERAL REQUIREMENTS These Special Conditions are based on detailed, specific guidance provided by the United States Environmental ,'rotection Agency (US EPA). Public Law 111 -5, the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act" (ARRA), includes requirements in addition to those normally required for the regular State Revolving Fund (SRF) programs, which are found in the SRF Supplemental General Conditions. The Special Conditions include additional payroll reporting requirements and "Buy American" provisions, which require recipients of ARRA funds to use iron, steel, and manufactured goods that are produced in the United States of America. In a project that is only partially funded through the ARRA, the ARRA requirements will apply to all parts of the project. Failure to comply with these requirements will prevent the disbursement of ARRA funds to the Owner. Payroll Reports: The prime contractor must submit electronic copies of certified weekly payrolls for the prime contractor and for all subcontractors. These must be submitted by e-mail in a pdf format to the Owner's representative and then forwarded to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division's (GA EPD's) Construction Management Unit project engineer. These must be submitted each month for the period covered by the prime contractor's current payment request, and are required for funds to be endorsed for this period. The payroll records must include all information required by the SRF Supplemental General Conditions. The Owner must also maintain complete payroll records and make these available for inspection and audit. Registration: The contractor shall register with the Central Contractor Registration database or complete other registration requirements as determined by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. \ccess of Offices of Inspector General to Certain Records and Employees: Any representative of an appropriate inspector general appointed under Section 3 or 8G of the Inspector General Act of 1978 (5 U.S.C. App.) is authorized: (1) to examine any records of the contractor or any of its subcontractors that pertain to, and involve transactions relating to, the construction contract or subcontract; and (2) to interview any officer or employee of the contractor regarding such transactions. Wage Rate Requirements: All laborers and mechanics employed by contractors and subcontractors on the project shall be paid wages at rates not less than those prevailing on projects of a character similar in the locality as determined by the Secretary of Labor in accordance with Subchapter IV of Chapter 31 of Title 40, United States Code. Buy American Requirements: (1) The prime contractor is required to comply with the Buy American provisions in these special conditions. The Owner is required to verify compliance as a condition of funding through the ARRA. Failure on the part of an apparent successful bidder to submit required information to the Owner may be considered by the Owner in evaluating whether the bidder is responsive to bid requirements. ARRA Special Conditions and Information 3 US2008 690958.1 (2) The prime contractor or apparent low bidder is required to submit signed copies of the Contractor Acknowledgement of Buy American Requirements (page 5) and of the Bid Certification (page 6) to the Owner's representative for verification. Prior to the initial disbursement of ARRA funds for this contract, the Owner will be required to submit signed copies of these to GA EPD's Construction Management Unit. (3) If the prime contractor proposes to use iron, steel, or manufactured goods that are not produced in the United States of America, then it must submit to the Owner: (a) Documentation required by the Information Checklist for Waiver Request to US EPA, found on page 7; (b) Table 1: Foreign and Domestic Construction Materials Price Comparison Worksheet, found on page 8. (4) Non - domestic goods may not be incorporated into the work until the Owner obtains a formal waiver from the US EPA to allow these goods to be used in this project. In order to apply for a project waiver, the Owner must email the request in the form of a Word document (.doc) to the US EPA Region 4 waiver email address: region4waiver @epa.gov . It must include all of the information as shown in the checklist on page 7 of these documents. The Regional office will send a copy to the State contact. (5) If a waiver is necessary, US EPA strongly recommends initiating the request before construction has initiated. Consistent with the direction of the federal Office of Management and Budget Guidance, US EPA will expect requests submitted after the signing of the construction contract to include an explanation of why the request was submitted at that late date. (6) Definitions and detailed explanation of Buy American provisions and the waiver process are included in these Special Conditions, starting on page 9. ARRA Special Conditions and Information 4 US2008 690958.1 Contractor Acknowledgement of Buy American Requirements The Contractor acknowledges to and for the benefit of the Owner, the State of Georgia, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency that it understands that the goods and services under this Agreement are being funded with monies made available by the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) or are being made available for a project being funded with monies made available by the federal ARRA and that such law contains provisions commonly known as "Buy American;" that requires all of the iron, steel, and manufactured goods used in the project be produced in the United States ( "Buy American Requirements ") including iron, steel, and manufactured goods provided by the Contractor pursuant to the construction contract. The Contractor hereby represents and warrants to and for the benefit of the Owner, the State, and the United States that: (a) the Contractor has reviewed and understands the Buy American Requirements; (b) all of the iron, steel, and manufactured goods used in the project will be and /or have been produced in the United States in a manner that complies with the Buy American Requirements, unless a waiver of the requirements is approved; and (c) the Contractor will provide any further verified information, certification or assurance of compliance with this paragraph, or information necessary to support a waiver of the Buy American Requirements, as may be requested by the Owner, the State, or the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any failure to comply with this paragraph by the Contractor shall permit the Owner or the State to recover as damages against the Contractor any loss, expense or cost (including without limitation attorney's fees) incurred by the Owner or the State resulting from any such failure (including without limitation any impairment or loss of funding, whether in whole or in part, from the State or any damages owed to the State by the Owner). While the Contractor has no direct contractual privity with the State, as a lender to the Owner for the funding of its project, the Owner and the Contractor agree that the State is a third -party beneficiary and neither this paragraph (nor any other provision of le construction contract necessary to give this paragraph force or effect) shall be amended or waived without the prior written consent of the State.

Production in the United States of the iron or steel used in the project requires that all manufacturing processes must take place in the United States, except metallurgical processes involving refinement of steel additives. These requirements do not apply to iron or steel used as components or subcomponents of manufactured goods used in the project. (This and the following definition were drawn from the OMB Guidance of April 3, 2009, at 176.70(a)(2)(ii) and 176.140(a).) Manufactured Good: "Manufactured good" means a good brought to the construction site for incorporation into the building or work that has been- - (1) Processed into a specific form and shape; or (2) Combined with other raw material to create a material that has different properties than the properties of the individual raw materials. There is no requirement with regard to the origin of components or subcomponents in manufactured goods, as long as the manufacture of the goods occurs in the United States. Reasonably Available Quantity: The quantity of iron, steel, or the relevant manufactured good is available or will be available at the time needed and place needed, and in the proper form or specification as specified in the project plans and design. atisfactory Quality: The quality of iron, steel, or the relevant manufactured good as specified in the project plans and designs. Assistance Recipient: The Owner - a borrower or recipient that receives funding from a State CWSRF or DWSRF program. ARRA Special Conditions and Information 9 US2008 690958.1 Implementation '.L. 111 -5, the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009" (ARRA), provides significant levels of funding for States to finance high priority infrastructure projects needed to ensure clean water and safe drinking water. The Act also includes "Buy American" provisions in section 1605 that require Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund (CWSRF) and Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund (DWSRF) assistance recipients of these ARRA funds to use domestic iron, steel and manufactured goods that are produced in the United States. US EPA's foremost expectation is that assistance recipients will use American iron, steel and manufactured goods throughout their ARRA - funded projects. Section 1605 also, however, sets forth certain circumstances under which a federal agency may determine to waive Buy American requirements. In addition, Section 1605 requires the Buy American requirements to be applied consistent with U.S. obligations under international agreements. With regard to these international agreements, however, based on discussions with OMB officials and OMB's "Updated Implementation Guidance," this provision only applies to direct procurement by the entities listed in the appendix of OMB's Interim Final Guidance or the Federal government, and does not apply to procurement initiated by local entities (SRF assistance recipients) in Georgia. US EPA's intention in developing the approach described here is to effectively and efficiently implement this full range of ARRA requirements. A waiver may be provided if US EPA determines that: (1) Applying these requirements would be inconsistent with the public interest; (2) Iron, steel, and the relevant manufactured goods are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities and of a satisfactory quality; or (3) Inclusion of iron, steel, and manufactured goods produced in the United States will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent. This requirement has been included as a grant condition in all US EPA capitalization grants, and will be a condition in all loan and grant agreements provided by States to local recipients. On April 23, 2009, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued Interim Final Guidance for several aspects of ARRA, including the Buy American Requirement under Section 1605. The full text of this Guidance is at http: / /edocket. access .gpo.gov /2009 /pdf/E9- 9073.pdf Definitions herein have incorporated the relevant text from the OMB Guidance, and the term and condition specified in the OMB Guidance at 176.140 (page 18454) will be incorporated as an award term of ARRA grants from US EPA. In order to implement the Buy American provisions of the ARRA, US EPA has developed an approach to allow for effective and efficient implementation to allow projects to proceed in a timely manner. The framework described below will allow assistance recipients to apply for waivers directly to US EPA. Pursuant to the ARRA, US EPA has the responsibility to make findings and determinations as to the issuance of waivers to the Buy American provisions. ARRA Special Conditions and Information 10 US2008 690958.1 Step -By -Step Waiver Process Application by Assistance Recipient Each local entity that receives ARRA water infrastructure financial assistance is required by section 1605 of the ARRA to use American made iron, steel, and manufactured goods in the construction of its project. However, if it is one of the entities listed in the appendix to Appendix 9 of the OMB Updated Implementing Guidance (none of which are in Georgia), it must allow for the use of iron, steel, or manufactured goods from a country covered by a relevant international agreement. If that is not possible, or if the recipient falls under one of the categories below, the recipient may request a waiver. Until a waiver is granted by US EPA, the Buy American requirements stand, except as noted above with respect to countries covered by international agreements. The waiver process begins with the SRF assistance recipient. In order to fulfill the requirements of the ARRA, the assistance recipient must in good faith design the project (where applicable) and solicit bids for construction with American made iron, steel, and manufactured goods. It is essential that the assistance recipient include the ARRA's Buy American terms in any request for proposals or solicitations for bids, and in all contracts (see page 5 for sample contract language). The assistance recipient may seek a waiver at any point before, during, or after the bid process if one or a combination of three conditions is met: (1) Iron, steel, and manufactured goods are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities and of a satisfactory quality; (2) Inclusion of iron, steel, and manufactured goods produced in the United States will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent; or (3) Applying the Buy American requirements of ARRA would be inconsistent with the public interest. US EPA believes that most waivers will likely come forward at two points in a project: first, based on the design where the assistance recipient identifies key materials (iron and steel) or equipment (manufactured goods) that are not produced in sufficient quantities domestically, or, second, after evaluation by prospective bidders and their consultation with suppliers determines that iron, steel, or manufactured goods as required by the design are not produced in sufficient quantities domestically. An assistance recipient could potentially request waivers at either or both points in the project. It is also possible to request a waiver after bids are opened or after construction has initiated. US EPA strongly recommends, if a waiver is necessary, initiating the request before construction has initiated. Consistent with the direction of the OMB Guidance at § 176.120, US EPA will expect that requests submitted after the signing of the construction contract will include an explanation of why the request was submitted at that late date. Late submissions that are based on the grounds of lack of reasonably foreseeable circumstances that led to the request, where sufficiently documented, will be considered as if timely submitted. Late requests that are based on grounds that the assistance recipient would be reasonably expected to foresee will, before consideration of the underlying waiver request, be subject to a balancing. This balancing will consider whether the public interest in expeditious construction under ARRA does or does not outweigh the need for full, timely, and good faith compliance with the Buy American provision according to the grounds set forth in ARRA and in applicable federal guidance and information. Proper and sufficient documentation must be provided by the assistance recipient. A checklist detailing the types of information required for a waiver to be processed is included on page 7. Additionally, it is strongly encouraged that assistance recipients hold pre -bid conferences with potential bidders. A pre -bid conference can help to identify iron, steel, and manufactured goods needed to complete the project as described in the plans and specifications that may not be available from domestic sources and the need to seek a waiver prior to bid, and can help inform the recipient on compliance options. In order to apply for a project waiver, the assistance recipient should email the request in the form of a Word document (.doc) to the Region 4 waiver email address: region4waiver @epa.gov .Please include all of the information as shown in the checklist on page 7. The Regional office will send a copy to the State contact. ARRA Special Conditions and Information 11 US2008 690958.1 Evaluation by US EPA Regional Offices After receiving an application for waiver of the Buy American provisions, the Regional office will use the checklist on page 7 to determine whether the application properly and adequately documents and justifies the statutory basis cited for the waiver - that it is quantitatively and qualitatively sufficient - and to determine whether or not to grant the waiver. The checklist provides information to the Region with regard to a waiver on the basis of unavailability of a product or material, or of substantial cost increases. In the event that the Regional office in consultation with the Office of Regional Counsel (ORC) finds that adequate documentation and justification has been submitted, the Regional Administrator may grant a waiver to the assistance recipient. In any event, the Region should notify the assistance recipient that a waiver request has been approved or denied no later than 2 weeks from the date of receipt of a complete waiver request. Granting such a waiver is a 5 -step process: (1) Evaluation - After receiving an application for waiver of the Buy American provisions, the Regional office must use a checklist similar to that found on page 7 to determine whether the application properly and adequately documents and justifies the statutory basis cited for the waiver - that it is quantitatively and qualitatively sufficient - and to determine whether or not to grant the waiver. (2) Coordination - No later than 3 days prior to the submission of a notification of a proposed waiver approval to the Assistant Administrator for the Office of Administration and Resources Management (OARM) for concurrence, the Region must notify the Cross - Agency Coordination Working Group described below that a waiver review is complete, along with a copy of the proposed notification. (3) Concurrence - Prior to approving a project waiver, the Regional Administrator must obtain the concurrence of the Assistant Administrator for OARM, as required by the Administrator's March 31, 2009 delegation of approval authority for exceptions (waivers) to the requirements of ARRA section 1605(a). (4) Signature of waiver approval by the Regional Administrator - As soon as the waiver is signed and dated, the Region must notify the State and assistance recipient. This should take place no later than 2 weeks after the receipt of a complete waiver request from an assistance recipient. (5) Publication by Regional office of notification of issuance of waiver in the Federal Register. When notification of the issuance of a waiver is published in the Federal Register, the Regional office should send appropriate information to Headquarters for a link to the Federal Register notice to be posted on EPA's Recovery.gov website. Cross - Agency Coordination Working Group US EPA will establish a national coordination working group composed of representatives from its Offices in the two SRF programs, and from the Regions. This group will have two principal functions: (1) To provide oversight of the national waiver process through consultation, quality control, and direction as necessary to clarify and resolve policy issues raised on waiver requests. (2) To identify the potential for appropriate national or (U.S. geographical) regional, categorical waivers to be issued based on similar circumstances identified in the detailed justifications for a waiver or waivers. Such categorical waivers may be based on one or a combination of the grounds for a waiver specified in ARRA section 1605(b), as may be appropriate to the detailed justifications available or developed. ARRA Special Conditions and Information 12 US2008 690958.1 Special Circumstances Under certain special circumstances, US EPA may grant a waiver of the Buy American provisions under the authority to waive such provisions if application of such provisions would be inconsistent with the public interest. A determination to grant a waiver of the Buy American provisions based solely on inconsistency with the public interest (as authorized under ARRA section 1605(b)(1)) must be made with US EPA Office of Water consultation due to the possible national implications of such a waiver, except in any particular categories of "public interest" cases for which US EPA has defined in national information, policy, or guidance the applicable conditions and the specific elements of the individual justification that must be provided. For the Regional office to consider these types of waiver requests, it must find that the conditions defined in the national information, policy, or guidance, and that the elements, in scope and detail, of the information provided to justify the request, are both present as required. If these are both present, the Regional office can then determine whether the justification offered is sufficient, within the terms set forth in the applicable information, policy, or guidance, to grant the waiver. This application will be sent to the same email address as mentioned above, however the requester should indicate in the subject line that the request is for a public interest waiver. National Waivers US EPA reserves the right to issue national waivers that may apply to particular classes of assistance recipients, particular classes of projects, or particular categories of iron, steel, or manufactured goods. As stated in the discussion of the "Cross - Agency Coordination Working Group," above, US EPA may develop national or (U.S. geographic) regional categorical waivers through the identification by that Working Group of similar circumstances in the detailed justifications presented to one or more Regions in a waiver request or requests. US EPA may issue a national waiver based on policy decisions regarding the public's interest or a determination that a particular item is not produced domestically in reasonably available quantities or of a sufficient quality. In such cases, US EPA may determine it is necessary to issue a national waiver. All national waivers will be issued by US EPA Headquarters. Split Funding Based on their intended use plans many States intend to fund projects with "split" funding, from ARRA and the base SRF program. Based on the ARRA language in section 1605, which requires that American iron, steel, and manufactured goods be used in any project receiving ARRA funding, US EPA has concluded that any project that is funded in whole or in part with ARRA funds, must comply with the Buy American provisions. A "project" consists of all construction necessary to complete the building or work regardless of the number of contracts or assistance agreements involved so long as all contracts and assistance agreements awarded are closely related in purpose, time and place. This precludes the intentional splitting of ARRA projects into separate and smaller contracts or assistance agreements to avoid Buy American coverage on some portion of a larger project, particularly where the activities are integrally and proximately related to the whole. However, there are many situations in which major construction activities are clearly undertaken in segregable phases that are distinct in purpose, time, or place, in which case, separate contracts or assistance agreement for ARRA and base funding would carry separate requirements.

The grade alignment of the pipe shall be maintained by the use of a string line parallel with the grade line and vertically above the centerline of the pipe. This line shall be established on level batter boards at intervals of not more than 25 feet. Batter boards shall span the trench and be rigidly anchored to substantial posts driven into the ground on each side of the trench. Three adjacent batter boards must be set before laying pipe to provide a check on the grades and line. Elevation and position of the string line shall be determined from the elevation and position of offset points or stakes located along the pipe route. Pipe shall not be laid using sidelines for line or grade. 3. As an alternative means of establishing alignment and grade, a "Laser - Beam" instrument may be utilized with a competent operator. B Location of Pipe Lines: 1. The location and approximate depths of the proposed pipelines are shown on the Drawings. 2. The Engineer reserves the right to make changes in lines, grades, and depths of pipelines and manholes when such changes are necessary. 3.2 PREPARATION A Identify required lines, levels, contours, and datum locations.

Excavation shall be dug so that the pipe can be laid and jointed properly. The trench shall be made so that the pipe can be laid to the alignment and depth as shown on the Drawings, and it shall be excavated only so far in advance of pipe laying as permitted by the Engineer. The excavation shall not be more than 16 inches wider at the bottom than the outside diameter of the pipe or structure. If there is no interference with construction, or adjacent property, and if soil permits, the Contractor at his own expense shall be permitted to slope the sidewalls of the excavation starting at a point 2 feet above the top of pipe. 2. The trench shall be excavated to the depth required so as to provide a uniform and continuous bearing and support for the pipe on bedding material at every point between joints, except where pipe slings or other lifting tackle are withdrawn. 3. Excavation Below Grade: a) Where excavation indicates that the subsurface materials at the bottom of the trench are in a loose or soft state, the Contractor shall be advised to excavate to a depth where suitable material is encountered, as directed by the Engineer. Trenching 02324 - 3 b) Where the bottom of the trench has been excavated by mistake to a greater depth than required, the Contractor shall refill this area using approved material. No additional compensation shall be given to the Contractor. Refilling with earth to bring the bottom of the trench to the proper grade will not be permitted. 4. Excavation within 24 inches of existing utilities shall be governed by specifications of the Owner of the respective utility.
