Proposal for ISR (SVE) System Implementation Cormans Cleaners, ERIC_4924 | Stuart, FL December 20, 2024 | Terracon Proposal No. PHB247038

SCOPE OF WORK

This scope of work was generated based on the approved ISRP. As detailed in the attached Request for Bid – SVE System Construction, the scope of work to be performed by the Remedial Contractor includes the following:

Coordinate transporting, retrofitting and utilizing a Terracon managed FDEP SVE system that is anticipated to come offline in Quarter 1 2025 (Fountain Cleaners, Fabricare) Preconstruction Activities Install up to three SVE wells if the existing three MAGS wells (MAGS-9, 10, and 11) are not accessible and/or in good working condition.

Install underground, 2-inch diameter conveyance piping from SVE wells to system. This item includes approximately 70 linear feet (LF) of aboveground piping and 30 LF of underground trenching.

Install up to two Vapor Monitoring Points (VMPs) if the existing MAGS wells are not accessible and/or in good working condition.

Install aboveground electrical conduit (approximately 130 feet).

Contract the services of an electrical contractor, and ensure 4 hours of electrician time for system startup activities.

Procure and install a vapor phase GAC vessel (included in the system installation quotes).

Transport and dispose asphalt and concrete debris.

Perform Site Restoration and Demobilization. This item includes installation of concrete over trenches and general cleanup.

Terracon personnel will provide oversight of construction activities and verify conformance with the construction drawings, perform system startup, prepare a Construction Completion Report with red-lined As-built Drawings, and conduct Week 1 and Month 1 of system O&M. Terracon will manage the soil IDW generated during the installation of the SVE wells and excess material not returned to the trench during installation of conveyance piping.

DELIVERABLES

The CCR will provide a summary of the SVE design, equipment, and construction activities; red-lined As-Built drawings; and O&M tables summarizing data collected during the startup, Week 1 and Month 1 site visits. The CCR and As-Built Drawings will be signed and sealed by a Professional Engineer.

SCHEDULE

The project will commence upon receipt of Task Assignment. It is anticipated that the system identified will come offline in Quarter 1 of 2025, in which case the projected start of the field work would be Spring 2025, based on current anticipated lead times for procurement of the proposed remedial equipment. A draft timeline of the project schedule is attached. System startup and completion of the CCR is anticipated by August 2025, pending completion of all electrical permits and connections.

Remedial System Construction – Cormans Cleaners December 6, 2024 Stuart, Florida Page 1

CONSTRUCTION WORKPLAN

Preferred Drilling Solutions, Inc. (PDS) has prepared this construction workplan to outline the proposed steps and methodologies that will be followed for the construction of remedial system components at the Cormans Dry Cleaner facility in Stuart, Florida. As indicated in the Request for Bid documentation, the proposed installation will occur around February 2025. Based on this timeframe, a construction schedule of events is included as Attachment I with construction scheduled to commence on February 17, 2025.

Task – Preconstruction Activities

PDS will attend a preconstruction meeting on site with Terracon approximately one week prior to mobilization. Typical topics covered at the meeting include site health and safety, work sequence and methodology, and site owner concerns. Prior to the meeting, PDS will furnish a copy of our site health and safety plan as well as our proposed construction workplan.

Task – Permitting

PDS will work with Terracon to obtain permits from Martin County for the proposed construction activities. Permits will include an electrical permit (provided by electrician under separate task item) and a general construction permit through Martin County. PDS will require Terracon to secure owner signatures on permit forms and a notice of commencement as required by the County.

Task – Mobilization

PDS will mobilize all personnel, equipment, and materials necessary to complete the proposed installation activities. This will include a mini-excavator, box truck, safety barricades/fencing, and system piping.

Task – MAG/VMP Well Conversion

PDS will convert existing wells into the SVE system as appropriate assuming they are fully functional and accessible. This will include coring concrete from around the wellhead and the installation of an 8-inch bolt down manhole. Wellhead assemblies/conveyance connections will be constructed during the piping installation portion of this project. In the event the wells are not able to be utilized, PDS will install new wells per the specifications indicated. The costs included in the bid assume that new wells will be required. Any soil removed during the installation of the wells will be containerized in a 55-gallon drum.

Task – Aboveground Piping

PDS will evaluate the proposed piping run and determine the best location to penetrate the building exterior. Once determined, a 4-inch diameter core hole will be opened to allow the SVE piping to enter the building. As the piping is installed, pipe supports consisting of Unistrut and pipe clamps will be installed. When installed on bar joists, clamps and all-thread will be used; when installed into concrete, concrete anchors (Tapcon or Redhead) will be utilized. If necessary and requested, the piping will be pressure tested before being tied into the vapor extraction point.

Task – Underground Piping

PDS will sawcut and remove the asphalt surface cover along the proposed trenching run. The asphalt will be properly disposed of. The trench run will then be excavated using a mini-excavator to a depth of 2 feet below grade with excavated material placed on visqueen plastic adjacent to the trench. Any deleterious

Remedial System Construction – Cormans Cleaners December 6, 2024 Stuart, Florida Page 2 material will be removed from the trench bed, and the pipe will be installed and connected to the wellhead. If requested, a pressure test will be completed prior to backfilling. The trench will then be backfilled in 6-inch lifts and compacted with a mechanical plate compactor. Following backfilling, the manhole will be set atop the SVE well, and the trench will be finished with a minimum 6-inch thick concrete cap using 4,000 psi concrete with fiber.

Task – Electrical Conduit

PDS will install electrical conduit along the building to a location approximately 130 feet away as specified by the plans. The conduit will be hung on the building utilizing Unistrut and clamps. The actual routing will be determined following an on-site inspection.

Task – Bollards

PDS will install six bollards surrounding the remediation equipment. The bollards will consist of 4-inch diameter Schedule 40 steel set in and filled with concrete. The bollard locations will be opened using a core drill, and the bollard location excavated to depth with a post hole shovel. The hole will be minimum of 10 inches in diameter and 2 feet deep. The bollard will be set in concrete, then painted safety yellow.

Task – Equipment Installation and Anchoring

PDS will offload the remedial equipment using a telescoping boom forklift. The equipment will be inspected then placed in its designated location per the Engineer. Following placement, the conveyance lines installed previously will be connected, and the electrician will perform all wiring connections.

Helical auger hurricane tiedowns will be used to anchor the equipment. Following anchoring, all permit inspections will be completed.

Task – Electrical

A licensed electrician will obtain the necessary permits, construct the required electrical service, disconnect, and meter can, and pass all inspections for their work. Once the system is energized, the electrician will provide up to 4 hours of startup assistance.

Task – Demobilization

Following the completion of all tasks, PDS will perform a broom cleaning of the work area, stage any investigation derived waste drums for management by others, and demobilize from the site.

Services To Be Rendered Per the attached proposal dated [DATE], Preferred Drilling Solutions, Inc. will complete [].

PDS and Client agree as follows:

SECTION 1. SERVICES

PDS shall provide the Client, with the “Services” set forth in the Proposal with date referenced above. The “Services” shall be performed with respect to the Property identified in the Proposal (the “Site”). The Proposal and any subsequent modification pursuant to Section 21 below shall be governed by these Terms and Conditions. The Terms and Conditions, the Proposal and any subsequent modification pursuant to Section 21 below shall be referred to as the “Agreement”. PDS Services will be performed on behalf of and solely for the exclusive use of Client for the purposes set forth in the Proposal and for no other purpose. Client acknowledges that PDS’S Services require decisions which are based upon judgment stemming from limited data rather than upon scientific certainties. Client, in accepting PDS’S Proposal, acknowledges the inherent risks to Client and its property associated with the work described in the Proposal and with underground work in general.

SECTION 2. BILLING AND PAYMENT

Client will pay PDS for Services performed in accordance with the rates and charges set forth in the Proposal. Unless otherwise specified in the Proposal, invoices for PDS Services will be submitted on a periodic basis, or upon completion of Services, as PDS shall elect. All invoices will be paid by Client within thirty

(30) days after invoice date (NET 30). Invoice balances remaining unpaid for thirty (30) days after invoice date will bear interest from invoice date at 1.5 percent per month or at the maximum lawful interest rate, if such lawful rate is less than 1.5 percent per month. If Client fails to pay any invoice in full within thirty (30) days after invoice date, PDS may, at any time, and without waiving any other rights or claims against Client and without thereby incurring any liability to Client, elect to terminate the performance of Services upon ten (10) days prior written notice by PDS to Client. Notwithstanding any termination of

Services by PDS for non-payment of invoices, Client shall pay PDS in full for all Services rendered by PDS to the date of termination of Services plus all interest, termination costs and expenses incurred by PDS and related to such termination. Client shall be liable to reimburse PDS for all costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. PDS’S non-exercise of any rights or remedies, whether specified herein or otherwise provided by law, shall not be deemed a waiver of any such rights or remedies, nor preclude PDS from the exercise of such rights or other rights and remedies under this instrument or at law.

In the event that PDS is requested or required to provide expert testimony, attend depositions or provide additional services pursuant to a judicial or administrative process involving the Client and the Site, Client shall pay PDS for such services at a rate of 2.0 times the rates set forth in the proposal or the rates associated with the performance of the Services, as well as other necessary and reasonable services and/or attorneys fees incurred by PDS in providing such services.

SECTION 3. TAXES

Services provided are quoted exclusive of all state, local and other taxes or other charges (other than income taxes payable by PDS). In the event such taxes and/or charges become applicable to PDS’S Services, applications or data, Client shall pay any such applicable tax upon receipt of written notice that such tax(es) is/are due.

Client is aware that certain Services provided by PDS to Client may be subject to the provisions of local sales taxes or other federal, state or local taxes or fees. Client understands and agrees that judgments made by PDS and its resultant billings as to which Services are taxable or subject to said fees and which Services are not taxable or subject to said fees may be challenged by the appropriate federal, state or local authority upon audit of PDS. In the event that PDS resolves the audit dispute with the appropriate federal, state or local authority and PDS is required to pay additional tax, fees, penalties or interest due to the manner in which PDS initially billed the Client, PDS shall bill Client for such additional amounts; Client shall indemnify PDS for those expenses and for the cost of the defense of the audit within ten (10) days of receipt of the revised PDS billing. In no event will this give Client the right to intervene or control the dispute between PDS and the appropriate federal, state or local authority.

SECTION 4. SERVICES OF OTHERS

As necessary, PDS engages the specialized services of individual contractors, or other companies to participate in a project. When considered necessary, these firms or other contractors will be used with Client’s approval.

The cost of such services plus a minimum fifteen percent (15%) service charge, unless noted otherwise, will be included in our invoice.

PDS does not undertake a guarantee or assume responsibility for the performance of the contractor(s) or companies(s) or the accuracy of their results or for any subcontractor hired by and under the specific direction of the Client.

SECTION 5. SITE DISTURBANCE

The Client understands that PDS’S use of environmental assessment and remediation techniques and equipment may cause damage to or alteration of the Site or any building or utility line on the Site, as well as other items of real and personal property on the Site. The Client shall use its best and diligent efforts to provide PDS with the plans of public and private utilities which are in Client’s possession and/or other agencies to assist PDS in locating any underground structures including cables, electric lines, tanks, pipes, gas lines, water mains, or other latent or subterranean structures. PDS shall exercise reasonable judgment in performing field exploration required as part of the project.

Efforts will be made to minimize potential alteration of Site conditions during the project.

Ver 2024.12 Page 2 of 4

In the event of damage, PDS shall exercise reasonable judgment in restoring the Site to comparable conditions observed prior to the project. PDS will not be held responsible for subsurface damage at locations selected/directed by Client.

SECTION 6. INDEPENDENT

CONTRACTOR

The parties agree that PDS 1) shall be free from direction and control by the Client except for the selection of work locations (borings, wells, excavations), 2) performs services outside the usual course of, or places of business of, the Client and 3) is engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, profession or business wholly apart from the Client.

The relationship of PDS to Client, therefore, shall be that of independent contractor.

SECTION 7. NONHIRE OF

CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL

It is hereby mutually agreed that Client will not directly or indirectly solicit for hire any employee(s) of PDS’ technical staff, who is associated with efforts called for under this effort, for a period of one (1) year after completion termination of this Agreement. In the event the foregoing provision is breached, liquidated damages equal to twelve (12) months of the employee’s compensation plus any legal expenses associated with the enforcement of this provision shall be paid by the Client to PDS.

SECTION 8. PROPRIETARY METHODS

AND EQUIPMENT

PDS reserves the right to use, for any purpose, any proprietary methods, equipment, skills, and techniques acquired or used by PDS in the performance of the Services.

This Agreement may be terminated in whole or in part in writing by either party in the event of a default consisting of substantial failure by either party to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement through no fault of the terminating party; provided that no such termination may be effected unless the defaulting party is given ten (10) days written notice of default and an opportunity to cure the default within a reasonable period. If termination is effected, Client will pay PDS all reimbursable costs which are due as of the effective date of termination, including costs incurred for software and equipment ordered in conformance with the Proposal which is to be delivered to Client and which cannot be canceled or terminated, and in addition, those reimbursable costs incurred in good faith by PDS after the effective date of termination in connection with demobilization of equipment and personnel, and with the cancellation or termination of subcontracts and purchase orders. In the case of termination of Services performed on a fixed price basis, PDS shall be compensated for Services performed as if the Services had been performed on a reimbursable basis.

SECTION 11. CONFIDENTIALITY

PDS will not intentionally divulge technical information designated in writing as “CONFIDENTIAL” and disclosed by Client to PDS other than to its employees or subcontractors with a need to know or to parties designated by Client in writing;
