IX Termination of Agreement The right is reserved by the AGENCY to terminate this AGREEMENT at any time upon ten (10) days written notice to the CONSULTANT. In the event this AGREEMENT is terminated by the AGENCY other than for default on the part of the CONSULTANT, a final payment shall be made to the CONSULTANT as shown in Exhibit "I" for the type of AGREEMENT used. No payment shall be made for any work completed after ten (10) days following receipt by the CONSULTANT of the Notice to Terminate.

In such an event, the CONSULTANT would be reimbursed for actual costs in accordance with the termination for other than default clauses listed previously. In the event of the death of any member, partner or officer of the CONSULTANT or any of its supervisory personnel assigned to the PROJECT, or dissolution of the partnership, termination of the corporation, or disaffiliation of the principally involved employee, the surviving members of the CONSULTANT hereby agree to complete the work under the terms of this AGREEMENT, if requested to do so by the AGENCY. This subsection shall not be a bar to renegotiation of the AGREEMENT between the surviving members of the CONSULTANT and the AGENCY, if the AGENCY so chooses. In the event of the death of any of the parties listed in the previous paragraph, should the surviving members of the CONSULTANT, with the AGENCY'S concurrence, desire to terminate this AGREEMENT, payment shall be made as set forth in the second paragraph of this section. Payment for any part of the work by the AGENCY shall not constitute a waiver by the AGENCY of any remedies of any type it may have against the CONSULTANT for any breach of this AGREEMENT by the CONSULTANT, or for failure of the CONSULTANT to perform work required of it by the AGENCY. Forbearance of any rights under the AGREEMENT will not constitute waiver of entitlement to exercise those rights with respect to any future act or omission by the CONSULTANT. X Changes of Work The CONSULTANT shall make such changes and revisions in the complete work of this AGREEMENT as necessary to correct errors appearing therein, when required to do so by the AGENCY, without additional compensation thereof.

City of Spokane Valley 11707 E. Sprague, Suite 106 Spokane Valley, WA 99206 RE: PROPOSAL — Exhibit A -1 Scope of Work Construction Material Testing Pines Road ITS CM- 0027(012), CIP -0061 Spokane Valley, Washington Dear Mr. Knutson: Strata, A Professional Services Corporation (STRATA) is pleased to provide The City of Spokane Valley with the following proposal for construction material testing services for the upcoming Pines Road ITS project located in Spokane Valley, Washington. We are confident that our firm can provide the required construction testing and inspection services in a cost - effective, timely, and professional manner. The following paragraphs describe our project understanding, scope of service and estimated fees. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING We understand the project includes installing a fiber optics utility from Sprague Avenue north to Trent Avenue along Pines Road. The contractor plans to install the utility using directional boring technology between Sprague Avenue and 1 -90. North of 1 -90, the contractor will use open trench installation to install the utility. Trench excavations will be backfilled with controlled density fill (CDF) and patched with crushed aggregate and a 6- inch -thick asphalt section placed in 2 lifts at the surface along the trench alignment. Various site concrete repairs will be required including at least 2 concrete pole foundations and areas of sidewalk. Sidewalk repairs may require field concrete testing, however will not require compressive strength cylinders. Concrete placed for pole foundations will require both field and compressive strength testing. Various asphalt patching for directional boring pits is anticipated. We understand the contractor plans to accomplish all work north of 1 -90 over the course of 5 nights; excavating, placing the utility, backfilling and paving, 600 lineal feet per night. You indicated asphalt quality assurance testing should be conducted for each night's placement. We anticipate concrete testing and the majority of soil density testing requested will occur during normal business hours. This proposal is based on our project understanding, our telephone conversation, anticipated project duration, and anticipated scope of services as detailed below. The quantities listed in our fee schedule are estimates; variance in these quantities and associated testing fees may take place due to design changes, additional services, construction schedules, unanticipated conditions, weather, contractor scheduling, or other factors beyond our control. SCOPE OF SERVICES Based on our review of project plans, we anticipate our scope of services on this project will consist of the following: www.stratageotech.com Proposal Pines ITS File: SPP13074 Page 2 Soil Observation and Testing STRATA will provide a qualified field professional to observe and test compaction during subgrade preparation of concrete subgrade areas and asphalt section aggregate. We will sample on- site and any imported materials used for backfill and transport these samples to our laboratory for appropriate testing. Concrete Observation, Sampling and Testing All sampling and field- testing of concrete will be conducted by personnel certified by, at minimum, the American Concrete Institute (ACI) as a Concrete Field Testing Technician -Grade 1. Our field services will include testing for slump, temperature (concrete and ambient), air content, verification of mix design and casting of test specimens. STRATA will provide an [CC-certified special inspector to observe the placement of structural concrete and conduct sampling and field testing of concrete, including casting of compressive test cylinders for verification purposes (for pole foundations only). We estimate that 1 set of 5 compression test cylinders for laboratory cure (1 tested at 7 days, 3 at 28 days, and 1 held pending 28 day test results) will be required for each 100 cubic yards or once for each day's placement for all concrete placed in the foundations, foundation walls or slabs. Upon completion of the 24 -hour initial curing period, STRATA will pick up and deliver concrete compression specimens to our certified laboratory for curing and testing. STRATA will document compression test results and a test report will be sent as required by project specifications. We have based this proposal on the assumption that compliance testing of other materials (i.e. aggregates, cement, etc.) will not be required. Therefore, we have not included these activities in the anticipated scope. If it becomes necessary, we can provide these services for an additional fee. Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Observation and Testing STRATA will provide a qualified field professional to observe, sample and test compaction during HMA paving. HMA samples will be obtained on -site at a frequency of 1 sample per placement event (per night), and transported to our laboratory for appropriate testing. Project Management and Reporting Mr. Rick Woodworth will be the project manager and the point of contact in the coordination of our special inspection, field observation, and laboratory testing services. All requests for scheduling of our inspection and testing will be handled through our local Spokane, Washington office (phone 509 - 891 - 1904). We request that scheduling calls be made 24 hours in advance in order to allow the appropriate response time for the project. Field personnel will leave a copy of their daily field reports and field test results on site at the completion of each day's testing for review by authorized personnel. Our project manager will review the daily reports generated by field staff during construction. These reports will be transmitted electronically on a bi- weekly basis to the project team. Typed hard copies will be provided along with our monthly invoices to our client. Items found in non - compliance with the project requirements will be brought to the immediate attention of the contractor's superintendent, designated design professionals, and your project representative. As re- inspection items can have a serious impact on our budget, our project manager will review the daily progress reports to monitor items requiring re- inspection and the hours involved in these re- inspections. These items will be documented and this information will be forwarded to you periodically for appropriate action and tracking of potential change orders and /or back charges. #4 www.stratageotech.com DOCUMENTS EXEMPT FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE The page entitled "Proposal Pines ITS ... Page 3" contains confidential cost and rate data and is withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 23 USC 112(2)(F). Prenotification; confidentiality of data. A recipient of funds requesting or using the cost and rate data shall notify any affected firm before such request or use. Such data shall be confidential and shall not be accessible or provided, in whole or in part, to another firm or to any government agency which is not part of the group of agencies sharing cost data under this paragraph, except by written permission of the audited firm. If prohibited by law, such cost and rate data shall not be disclosed under any circumstances.

LIMITATIONS The above scope of services is for construction materials testing, inspection and laboratory services. Our services do not include a geotechnical evaluation of any kind. We are not assuming the geotechnical engineer -of- record for the project. Our construction materials testing, inspection and laboratory services are limited to verifications of the plans and specifications. STRATA does not represent or warrant that we have reviewed the construction documents (plans, specifications, etc.) for accuracy, appropriateness and whether the documents meet the standard of care at the time of our services in the north Idaho and eastern Washington area. SUMMARY We propose to accomplish the above scope of services on a time and expense basis not to exceed $19,455.44 without prior authorization. STRATA personnel take pride in their ability to provide timely and professional service to our clients. Again, we appreciate the opportunity to provide you this proposal to perform construction material testing services on this project. If you have any questions, or if we can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, STRATA Angela K. Lemmerman, P.E.

DOT Form 140 -089 EF Exhibit I Revised 6/05 Exhibit K Consultant Claim Procedures The purpose of this exhibit is to describe a procedure regarding claim(s) on a consultant agreement. The following procedures should only be utilized on consultant claims greater than $1,000. If the consultant's claim(s) are a total of $1,000 or less, it would not be cost effective to proceed through the outlined steps. It is suggested that the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer negotiate a fair and reasonable price for the consultant's claim(s) that total $1,000 or less. This exhibit will outline the procedures to be followed by the consultant and the agency to consider a potential claim by the consultant. Step 1 — Consultant Files a Claim with the Agency Project Manager If the consultant determines that they were requested to perform additional services that were outside of the agreement's scope of work, they may be entitled to a claim. The first step that must be completed is the request for consideration of the claim to the Agency's project manager. The consultant's claim must outline the following: • Summation of hours by classification for each firm that is included in the claim; • Any correspondence that directed the consultant to perform the additional work; • Timeframe of the additional work that was outside of the project scope; • Summary of direct labor dollars, overhead costs, profit and reimbursable costs associated with the additional work; and • Explanation as to why the consultant believes the additional work was outside of the agreement scope of work. Step 2 — Review by Agency Personnel Regarding the Consultant's Claim for Additional Compensation After the consultant has completed step 1, the next step in the process is to forward the request to the Agency's project manager. The project manager will review the consultant's claim and will met with the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer to determine if the Agency agrees with the claim. If the FHWA is participating in the project's funding, forward a copy of the consultant's claim and the Agency's recommendation for federal participation in the claim to the WSDOT Highways and Local Programs through the Region Local Programs Engineer. If the claim is not eligible for federal participation, payment will need to be from agency funds. If the Agency project manager, Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, WSDOT Highways and Local Programs (if applicable), and FHWA (if applicable) agree with the consultant's claim, send a request memo, including backup documentation to the consultant to either supplement the agreement, or create a new agreement for the claim. After the request has been approved, the Agency shall write the supplement and/or new agreement and pay the consultant the amount of the claim. Inform the consultant that the final payment for the agreement is subject to audit. No further action in needed regarding the claim procedures. DOT Form 140 -089 EF Exhibit K Revised 6/05 If the Agency does not agree with the consultant's claim, proceed to step 3 of the procedures. Step 3 — Preparation of Support Documentation Regarding Consultant's Claim(s) If the Agency does not agree with the consultant's claim, the project manager shall prepare a summary for the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer that included the following: • Copy of information supplied by the consultant regarding the claim; • Agency's summation of hours by classification for each firm that should be included in the claim; • Any correspondence that directed the consultant to perform the additional work; • Agency's summary of direct labor dollars, overhead costs, profit and reimbursable costs associated with the additional work; • Explanation regarding those areas in which the Agency does /does not agree with the consultant's claim(s); • Explanation to describe what has been instituted to preclude future consultant claim(s); and • Recommendations to resolve the claim. Step 4 — Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer Reviews Consultant Claim and Agency Documentation The Director of Pubic Works or Agency Engineer shall review and administratively approve or disapprove the claim, or portions thereof, which may include getting Agency Council or Commission approval (as appropriate to agency dispute resolution procedures). If the project involves federal participation, obtain concurrence from WSDOT Highways and Local Programs and FHWA regarding final settlement of the claim. If the claim is not eligible for federal participation, payment will need to be from agency funds. Step 5 — Informing Consultant of Decision Regarding the Claim The Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer shall notify (in writing) the consultant of their final decision regarding the consultant's claim(s). Include the final dollar amount of the accepted claim (s) and rationale utilized for the decision. Step 6 — Preparation of Supplement or New Agreement for the Consultant's Claim(s) The agency shall write the supplement and/or new agreement and pay the consultant the amount of the claim. Inform the consultant that the final payment for the agreement is subject to audit. I hereby certify that I am Exhibit M -1(a) Certification Of Consultant Chris M. Comstock, P.E.
