Subject: Proposal to conduct an ASTM E2247 Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the Bear Creek Forest Florida Forever Project in Bay County, Florida

Dear Mr. Parker:

Tetra Tech, Inc. is pleased to provide this proposal to perform an ASTM E2247 Phase I ESA for the Bear Creek Forest Florida Forever Project in Bay County, Florida, owned by Bear Creek Timber LLC.

The property is approximately 12,243 acres (2,278 wetlands; 9,965 uplands) of conservation land in Bay County consisting of 29 parcels. Attachment A includes property information, identifying the subject property for this proposal. Below is Tetra Tech’s proposed scope of work and cost for services to be provided upon receipt of a Task Assignment.

The proposal is lump sum, inclusive of all activities, equipment, and commodities necessary to accomplish the task (including travel). ESA field activities and the final Phase I ESA Report will be prepared in accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard E2247:

Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment for Forestland or Rural Property and as defined by contract PL519, under which this work will be completed.

Project Assumptions

The assumptions provided below were derived to design a suitable Scope of Work, and calculate the appropriate costs required to complete this project:

FDEP will identify and provide to Tetra Tech the contact information of the appropriate owner representative and property personnel with knowledge of the Property to complete the User Questionnaire and be interviewed.

Tel 850.536.8120 Fax 850.385.9860 www.tetratech.com

FDEP will assist Tetra Tech in coordinating property access with the current property owner.

Delays in access to the property, caused by the current property owner, may delay the delivery of the final report.

Tetra Tech will not conduct a Chain of Title search for this project; only a Lien and Activities and Use Limitations (AUL) search is required.

FDEP will provide Tetra Tech with any pertinent property information available such as bounded survey maps, previous environmental investigations, lien information, etc. should any such documents exist.

This scope of services and associated fee does not include additional surveys (e.g. asbestos, mold, lead-based paint, radon, etc.) outside of the scope of ASTM E2247. Should additional surveys be recommended and requested by FDEP, Tetra Tech can provide costing for additional surveys.

Tetra Tech will complete a draft report and submit it electronically for FDEP review. Tetra Tech will incorporate any comments or questions into the final document and submit it to FDEP in accordance with the terms defined in PL519.

Fee Schedule

Tetra Tech’s proposed cost to complete the services indicted above is a total firm fixed price of

$6,050, all inclusive.

Period of Performance

Tetra Tech anticipates commencing project activities on receipt of a Task Assignment in accordance with Contract PL519.

Authorization

Tetra Tech is prepared to begin work on this project immediately following receipt of the signed Task Assignment. The cost of the assessments detailed within is $6,050.

The project cost is lump sum that will be invoiced upon submittal and acceptance by FDEP of the associated deliverable(s).

Tetra Tech looks forward to continuing work with FDEP on this project. We are available to discuss our approach with you in detail at your convenience.

Should you have any questions regarding this proposal, please contact us at (850) 536-8117 or (850) 536-8120, respectively.
