.- Mr. Joel Wadsworth June 30, 2010 Page - 2 - EAS Engineering, Inc. will respond to requests for additional information from all of these agencies. Time will be devoted to keeping track of agency findings on a regular basis. This monitoring will provide us with early detection of agency concerns and will minimize misunderstandings. Each of the applications will be tracked until a decision is reached. As with all permitting matters, no guarantee can be provided regarding success or failure in obtaining permits, nor is it feasible to estimate when the permits will be issued. The State has deadlines for responding to applications (30 days to file a request for additional information and 90 days after the application is deemed complete to issue or deny a permit), but neither the Corps nor DERM have deadlines for taking action. Delays are inevit<1ble with these two agencies. ConstJlJction plans for the proposed improvements (including drainage plans and calculations) will be prepared by others. These plans will be submitted to DERM to complete the Class I permit application. The paving, grading and drainage plans will be submitted to the SFWMD to complete the ERP application. TASK 2 - MISCELLANEOOS GENERAL CONSULTING This task will allow EAS Engineering, Inc. to perform miscellaneous assignments which may be required but do not fall within the scope of the first task. It is understood that work under this task will be performed only at your discretion and with your authorization. Work charged under this task could include additional site inspections, zoning assistance meetings with agencies, litigation assistance, etc. Based upon our experience with similar assignments, we believe it is best to provide our work for Tasks I (Environmental Permitting) and Task 2 (Miscellaneous General Consulting) on an hourly basis plus expenses, against a budget estimate. The following professional fees have been establ ished for each of the tasks described above. TASK 1 -ENVffiONMENTAL PERMITTING $ 30,000.00 Budget Estimate Time Charged Plus Expenses Reimbursable Expenses $ 3,000.00 Not to Exceed TASK 2 - MISe. GENERAL CONSULTlNG $ 10,000.00 Hourly as Authorized Not to Exceed Out of pocket expenses (reimbursable) include water quality or soil testing, application and permit fees, surveys by a registered surveyor, or out of pocket expenses I isted in Paragraph 2 of the attached General Conditions for Professional Engineering Services. Regulatory agency plan review fees and permit fees are not included in the budgets for any tasks. They are your responsibility. Please note that the budgets for several tasks are budget estimates and are not a fee maximum. Because of ever-changing regulatory requirements, it is difficult to assess a budget for some tasks. Hourly billing is fair for both parties. If permitting goes easily, our billings will not exceed the budget amount; if permitting is difficult, however, our bill for a task could exceed the budgeted amount. Hourly rates and out of pocket expenses will be charged per the rates stated in Paragraphs I and 2 of the
