assessment of the valves' performance.

1.2 Deliverables
• A technical memorandum describing the findings of the assessment, our recommendations, anticipated
costs if any, and anticipated schedule.

BCRUA. "Cost" is described as direct salary cost plus fringe benefits provided to the employees

2. Provisions
1. AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED. Signing this Agreement shall be construed as authorization by
CLIENT for JACOBS to proceed with the Services, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement.
2. LABOR COSTS. In the event JACOBS' compensation is calculated by reference to JACOBS' Labor
Costs, Labor Costs shall be the amount calculated by the number of hours actually worked by each of
JACOBS' employees on CLIENT's Project, multiplied by an amount charged for each such employee's
work, which is calculated by dividing each such employee's annualized, non-overtime compensation
(whether salary or paid to such employee at an hourly rate, as the case may be) by 2,080 hours per
year.
3. DIRECT EXPENSES. JACOBS' Direct Expenses shall be those costs incurred on or directly for the
CLIENT's Project, including but not limited to necessary transportation costs including mileage at
JACOBS' current rate when its automobiles are used, meals and lodging, laboratory tests and analyses,
computer services, word processing services, telephone, printing and binding charges. Reimbursement
for these expenses shall be on the basis of actual charges when furnished by commercial sources and
on the basis of usual commercial charges when furnished by JACOBS.
4. PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS. JACOBS shall be responsible, to the level of competency presently
maintained by other practicing professionals in the same type of work in CLIENT's community, for the
professional and technical soundness, accuracy, and adequacy of all design, drawings, specifications,
and other work and materials furnished under this Agreement. If after completion of the Services the
CLIENT can demonstrate that the Services hereunder fail to conform to such standards, JACOBS will
reperform the deficient Services at no cost to the CLIENT.
5. ADDITIONAL SERVICES. Services in addition to those specified in Scope of Services will be provided
by JACOBS if authorized in writing or otherwise confirmed by CLIENT. Additional services will be paid
for by CLIENT as indicated in any Letter of Proposal issued by JACOBS and accepted by CLIENT.
6. SALES TAX. In addition to any other sums or amounts required to be paid by CLIENT to JACOBS
pursuant to this Agreement, CLIENT must also pay to JACOBS the amount of any applicable sales, use,
excise or other tax with respect thereto (other than any general income tax payable by JACOBS with
respect thereto) as the same may be levied, imposed or assessed by any federal, state, county or
municipal government entity or agency.
7. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. All disputes arising out of this Agreement shall be mediated by the parties
within a reasonable time after the first request for mediation, prior to either party filing a suit in a court of
law, provided, however, that neither party shall be obligated to mediate prior to requesting injunctive
relief.
8. PAYMENT TO JACOBS / INTEREST ON PAST-DUE AMOUNTS. Monthly invoices will be issued by
JACOBS for all Services performed under the terms of this Agreement. Invoices are due and payable
net 30 days. CLIENT agrees to pay interest at the rate of 1% per month on all past-due amounts, unless
not permitted by law.
9. SEVERABILITY. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be held
illegal, the enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be impaired thereby.
10. FORCE MAJEURE. Any delays in or failure of performance by JACOBS shall not constitute breach
hereunder if and to the extent such delays or failures of performance are caused by occurrences beyond
the reasonable control of JACOBS. In the event that any event of force majeure as herein defined
occurs, JACOBS shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of time for performance of its Services
under this Agreement.
