MPEG's current Schedule of Charges. Such schedule is subject to revision annually and other times without notice to
Client.
2.0 INVOICES will be submitted every two weeks, or four week accounting period, at the end of a project phase or
assignment as elected by MPEG. Invoices are due and payable upon presentation. All accounts not paid within 30 days
of the invoice date may be subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per four week accounting period, or the maximum rate
allowed under applicable law whichever is less. MPEG reserves the right to cease work, withdraw reports, and file liens
on property where accounts are past due.
3.0 SITE ACCESS and UNDERGROUND OBSTRUCTIONS Client will furnish right -of -entry to the project site as
necessary for exploration, surveys and other services. MPEG will take reasonable precautions to minimize property
disruption and damage however some disruption and damage is often unavoidable. MPEG is not liable for nor does
MPEG's fee estimate include full restoration of such property unless explicitly itemized in the agreement. Where
appropriate, MPEG will request utility companies to locate off-site utility lines. Client shall indicate the location of all utilities
and underground structures within the property. Client agrees to hold MPEG harmless for damage to utilities and/or
underground structures not correctly located.
4.0 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS and OTHER EXCLUSIONS This agreement specifically excludes and MPEG specifically
disclaims and is discharged from any responsibility or liability for all direct or indirect loss or harm resulting from the
presence, failure to discover, interception, escape or discharge of hazardous or toxic material of any kind including
contamination of soil, water, air or other property as a result thereof. This exclusion extends, but is not limited, to all
exploration, testing, analysis and recommendations made by MPEG. Unless specified in the written scope of work the
observation, testing and approval of steel, concrete, and asphalt and other construction materials, and establishing
construction lines and grades and other surveying is also excluded from MPEG's scope of work, responsibility and liability
therefore.
5.0 STANDARD OF CARE Services provided by MPEG will be consistent with the ordinary level of care and skill
exercised by members of the profession practicing geotechnical engineering under similar conditions, in the same locality
and at the same time. There is no other warranty either express or implied. The client recognizes that subsurface
conditions may vary and that data and interpretations made by MPEG are based solely on information available to MPEG.
MPEG is not responsible for interpretations or use by others of information developed by MPEG.
6.0 INSURANCE and LIMITATION OF LIABILITY MPEG maintains General Liability Insurance and depending on
availability and affordability intends, but is not bound, to maintain Professional Liability Insurance. Such insurance is for
the sole benefit of MPEG and does not cover the Client nor the project. Client recognizes the inherent risk of claims
associated with the services provided by MPEG and therefore agrees (a) to limit MPEG's liability to Client for professional
negligence, errors or omissions or breach of this Agreement, such that the total aggregate liability of MPEG shall not
exceed the amount of fees paid MPEG for this project, or $20,000 whichever is greater, (b) to compensate MPEG fortime
and expenses incurred by MPEG in defense of claims except for claims arising out of MPEG's sole negligence and (c) to
defend, indemnify and hold harmless MPEG and its employees against claims related to hazardous ortoxic materials and
from contractors, subcontractors and others arising from services under this agreement except for claims arising out of
MPEG's sole negligence.
7.0 JOB SITE SAFETY Client agrees that construction job site safety, superintendence of the contractor's, workmen and
equipment, excavation stability, is solely the contractor's responsibility and is specifically excluded from MPEG's
responsibility or liability.
8.0 OWNERSHIP OF MATERIALS All samples obtained by MPEG are and remain property of the client, and unless
otherwise directed, all such samples may be discarded by MPEG 30 days after performance of tests or submittal of the
report for which they were obtained, or termination of services. All records, field and laboratory data, analysis, designs,
reports, letters and other documents prepared by MPEG are instruments of service and remain the property of MPEG.
9.0 DISPUTES If a dispute arises out of or related to this contract or its alleged breach, and if the dispute cannot be
settled through direct discussions, the parties agree to first endeavor to settle the dispute in an amicable manner by

Re: Seismic Survey for Lucas Valley Interchange
Gentlemen:
Introduction
We are pleased to outline and propose our services for a Seismic Refraction Survey to
explore subsurface conditions along the planned roadway for the Lucas Valley Road/Highway
101 Interchange.
The purpose of a Seismic Refraction Survey is to determine the apparent seismic wave
velocities and depths in selected cut areas. These data in turn, provides a basis for judging the
difficulty of excavation.
Scope
We will determine seismic refraction profiles along at least four lines which can be
surveyed in one day of field time. If time permits, we will survey a fifth line. The lines will be
located generally as follows:
SL -1
R4 Line - South side of the hill.
SL -2
R3 Line - near Los Gamos intersection.
SL -3
West side of 101 - upper cut slope bench.
SL -4
West side of 101 - upper part of planned cut.
SL -5
R3 Line - north side slope.
These line locations are selected (as shown on the attached sketch SK -1) where we can
avoid trees and get relatively straight lines. The length of the lines will be adjusted to get data
to the bottom of the cuts in each area surveyed. We assume that no permits are necessary and
that the City will arrange permission for access.

After field data acquisition we will reduce the survey data, develop time -distance plots and
calculate velocities and depth of the various indicated layers. We will relate the velocity and
depth data to published rippability charts.
In addition to the seismic refraction surveys, we will examine the bedrock exposed in the
existing cut slopes. During our geotechnical inspection we will observe and note the rock type,
fracture spacing, bedding thickness and degree of weathering. The rock classification data will
be correlated with the seismic refraction data to provide an interpretation of the material type
associated with a specific seismic velocity layer.
We will present the results of the survey in a written report with time -distance plots and
interpretive cross section.
Contractual Arrangements
We will provide the seismic refraction survey as described above in accordance with our
Agreement for Professional Services, for the Fixed Fee of $6900.
We are pleased to propose our services on this project. If you have any questions,
please call me. When you wish us to proceed, please return one signed copy of the Agreement.
y yours,
