information furnished to us by others or estimates made in the field by our technicians. Such dimensions, depths or elevations should be considered as approximations untess
otherwise stated in the report.

one of the parties may be made to provide compensation for as much as 100% of the damages assessed. When applied to hazardous materials projects, it is possible that the
concept of joint and several liability could be construed to make A&A partly or wholly responsible for damages created directly or indirectly by the hazardous materials. Client
agrees that it would be unfair for A&A to be exposed to such an action, because A&A had nothing whatsoever to do with the creation of the hazardous condition. ,~;cordingly,
Client waives a ny claim against A&A. and agrees to defend, indemnify and save A&A harmless from any claim or liability for injury or loss adsing from applicafion of a joint and
several liability concept that would, in any manner, hold or seek to hold A&A responsible for creating a hazardous condition or permitting one to exist. Client also agrees to
compensate A&A for any time spent and expenses incurred by A&A in defense of any such claim, with such compensation to be based upon A&A's prevailing fee schedule and

Gentlemen:
As requested by you, Ardaman & Associates, Inc. presents this proposal for 2005 groundwater
consulting services through fiscal year ending September 30, 2005 pertaining to the following work
elements: (1) provide four quarterly groundwater monitoring reports for the Mayfair and Site 10
reuse sites; and (2) perform miscellaneous hydrogeology evaluations at select City production

quarterly reports for groundwater monitoring at 4 wells at Mayfair Golf Course and at 13 wells at
Site 10 under FDEP Permit Number FL0020141-01. It is our understanding that the City will be
responsible for the sampling and laboratory analysis program. Ardaman will provide field and office
consultations and prepare the quarterly reports for each reuse site.
The quarterly sampling will be for analysis of total dissolved solids, chloride, nitrate, and fecal
coliform. Specific conductivity, pH, turbidity and water level are monitored at the time of sampling.
The City should perform the sampling in November, February, May and August. The results from
each quarter will be submitted by Ardaman to the FDEP through the City on FDEP report forms and
signed by a professional engineer in Florida experienced in groundwater. If FDEP requests
additional information at these reuse sites, this effort will be beyond the scope of this proposal.
At select production wells chosen by the City, Ardaman will perform miscellaneous
hydrogeology/groundwater evaluations in the field and/or office to assist the City improve hydraulic
efficiency at subject wells. Data will be collected and analyzed. Field and office evaluations will
be performed and reports prepared to summarize results, develop conclusions and make
recommendations.
