(GeoEngineers) is pleased to present this scope and budget for providing Grant support services for the Sydney Stormwater Project. GeoEngineers has previously completed stormwater planning for the Sydney area in the 2022 Downtown Basin Stormwater Plan. We understand the City of Port Orchard (City) needs assistance with the preparation of Grant materials to support the upcoming Grant cycle that closes September 3, 2025. We will assist the City in preparation of the Grant application material and assist in submittal of the Grant into the Washington State Department of Ecology's (Ecology's) Administration of Grants and Loans (EAGL) using the City representatives' account. Scope of Services This scope and budget is for Task 1 Grant support, described below. TASK 1. CITY OF PORT ORCHARD GRANT APPLICATION SUPPORT The purpose of this task is to prepare information in support of the City Sydney Stormwater project application for the Ecology Water Quality Combined Funding Program for Stormwater Projects. This includes developing an unformatted document (EAGL doesn't allow formatting) that can be used to cut and paste information into the General Information Form within EAGL. We will work with the City representative to identify and assist in developingthe Grant application in EAGL, but assume the City will be the lead and use their representatives' EAGL account and will manage the Grant. ACTIVITIES ■ Prepare an unformatted Word document that can be used to fill out the General Information form in EAGL. EAGL doesn't allow formatting, and each section of the form has specific character limits that we will accommodate in our answers. Docusign Envelope ID: A0901 AC5-A9CB-470E-9E8D-281 F2352F198 City of Port Orchard I July 1, 2025 Page 2 ■ We will work with the City to develop a project narrative describing how the project will meet the Grant requirements that will be the basis of the Grant request. We will work with a City representative to identify project needs and portions of the project that are eligible for Grantfunding. ■ Prepare a general scope of work including task descriptions, project activities and deliverables, permits, schedule and budget that will be used in the Grant request. Since designs have not been completed for the project, we will use estimates of cost based on conceptual drainage and treatment solutions identified in the 2022 Downtown Basin Stormwater Plan. ■ Review and supplement the existing City -provided material. We will use the existing information and figures from the 2022 Downtown Basin Stormwater Plan but will revise up to five figures to meet the requirements of the Grant. ■ We will work with the City representative during completion and upload of the Grant information into EAGL including meeting with the City representative during upload to answer questions and help facilitate completion of the Grant. Terms, Fee Estimate and Schedule The estimated total cost for Task 1, described above, is $10,000. We propose to conduct our services on a time -and -expense basis in accordance with the terms and conditions in our General Conditions and in accordance with our attached Schedule of Charges. There are no intended third -party beneficiaries arising from the services described in this proposal and no party other than the party executing this proposal shall have the right to legally rely on the product of our services without prior written permission of GeoEngineers. This proposal is valid for a period of 60 days commencing from the first date listed above and subject to renegotiation by GeoEngineers, Inc., after the expiration date.

STANDARD OF CARE AND WARRANTY DISCLAIMER GeoEngineers will endeavor to perform its professional services with that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised under similar conditions by professional consultants practicing in the same discipline at the same time and location. No warranty or guarantee, either express or implied, is made or intended by this Agreement or by any report, opinion, or other Instrument of Service provided pursuant to this Agreement. CLIENT FURNISHED INFORMATION AND OBLIGATIONS Client will provide GeoEngineers with the following: a description of the property; the locations of any underground utilities, facilities or structures on or adjacent to the property which could impact our work; and the nature and location of any known or suspected hazardous materials that may exist on the property.

SURFACE AND SUBSURFACE DISTURBANCE GeoEngineers will take reasonable precautions to minimize surface and subsurface disturbance. However, in the normal course of exploratory work some surface disturbance may occur, the restoration of which is not part of this Agreement unless specifically included in our Scope of Services. DISCOVERY OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS "Unanticipated hazardous materials" are any hazardous materials that may exist at the project site, but which this Agreement does not identify as present and whose existence is not reasonably anticipated. The discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials will constitute a changed condition that will require renegotiation of the Scope of Services or termination of this Agreement. The discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials may necessitate that we take immediate protective measures. If we discover unanticipated hazardous materials, we will notify Client as soon as practicable. Based on our professional judgment, we may also implement protective measures in the field. Client will pay the cost of any such additional protective measures. Client is responsible for reporting releases of hazardous substances to appropriate government agencies as required by law. Client waives any claim against GeoEngineers relating to the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials and will indemnify GeoEngineers to the extent provided in the INDEMNIFICATION section of these GENERAL CONDITIONS. OFF -SITE DISPOSAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Client acknowledges that GeoEngineers is not and shall not be required to be in any way an 'arranger', 'operator', or 'transporter' of hazardous materials present or nearthe project site, as these terms are defined in applicable Federal or State Statutes. In addition, Client shall sign all manifests for the disposal of substances affected by regulated contaminants. However, if the parties mutually agree that GeoEngineers sign such manifests and/or to hire for Client a contractor to transport, treat, or dispose of the hazardous materials, GeoEngineers shall do so only as Client's agent. Client agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless GeoEngineers, its officers, directors, employees and agents from any claim, suit, arbitration, or administrative proceeding, damages, penalties or liability that arise from the executing of such manifests on Client's behalf. Further, GeoEngineers will, at Client's request, help Client identify appropriate alternatives for off -site treatment, storage, or disposal of such substances, but GeoEngineers shall not make any independent determination about the selection of a treatment, storage, or disposal facility.

We can only base our site data, interpretations and recommendations on information reasonablyavailable to us. Practical and reasonable limitations on available data will result in some level of uncertainty, and therefore risk, with respect to the interpretation of environmental, geological and geotechnical conditions even when we have followed the standard of care. The discovery of unanticipated or changed conditions may require renegotiation of the Scope of Services or termination of services. GeoEngineers reserves the right to solely determine the continued adequacy of this Agreement in light of any discovery of conditions that were not reasonably anticipated or known at the time of this Agreement. If we determine that renegotiation is necessary, GeoEngineers and Client will in good faith enter into renegotiation of this Agreement to permit us to continue to meet Client's needs. If Client and GeoEngineers cannot agree on new terms, we reserve the right to terminate this Agreement and receive payment from Client for all services performed and expenses incurred up to and including the date of termination. Underground utilities that are not properly indicated on plans and specifications provided to GeoEngineers by others or not reasonably located by the utility owner will be considered a changed condition under this clause. SITE SAFETY GeoEngineers will maintain a safety program for our employees. GeoEngineers specifically disclaims any authority or responsibility for general job site safety and for the safety of persons who are not employed by us. GeoEngineers is not responsible for the job safety or site safety of the general project and is not responsible for compliance with safety programs and related OSHA and state regulations that apply to other entities or persons. Client is independently responsible for requiring that its construction or remediation contractors take responsibility for general job sitesafety. CONSTRUCTION AND REMEDIATION OBSERVATION The conclusions and recommendations for construction or remediation in our reports are based on limited sampling and the interpretations of variable subsurface conditions. Therefore, our conclusions and recommendations shall be deemed preliminary unless or until we are requested by Client to validate our assumptions and finalize our conclusions and recommendations by reviewing preconstruction design documents and observing actual construction or remediation activities on site. If our Scope of Services does not include preconstruction plan review and construction/remediation observation, then any reliance by Client or any other party on our preliminary assumptions, conclusions or recommendations is at the risk of that party and without liability to GeoEngineers. Ourjob site activities do not change any agreement between Client and any other party. Only Client has the right to reject or stop work of its contractors or agents. Our presence on site does not in any way guarantee the completion, quality or performance of the work by any other party retained by Client to provide field or construction/remediation services. We are not responsible for, and do not have control or charge of, the specific means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures selected by any contractor or agent of Client or any third party to thisAgreement. Further, a duty to provide contract administration or contract management services may not be imputed from GeoEngineers' professional actions or affirmative conduct when on the job site. SAMPLE RETENTION AND DISPOSAL We will discard nonhazardous samples 60 days after they are obtained, unless Client makes prior arrangements to store or deliver the samples. Samples containing hazardous materials regulated under federal, state or local environmental laws are the property and responsibility of Client. Client will arrange for lawful disposal, treatment and transportation of contaminated samples at Client's expense, unless Client makes other written agreements regarding their disposal. IDENTIFICATION OF OTHER CONTAMINANTS Sampling and Analysis Plans (SAPs) typically specify the contaminants of interest (COIs) on a site and the standard EPA/state agency analytical methods (Standard Methods) to be used by laboratories for determining the estimated concentration of such COls in soil and water samples. GeoEngineers' instructions notwithstanding, application of Standard Methods by an analytical laboratory may occasionally result in the inadvertent identification of contaminants that are not COls. If in the course of GeoEngineers' laboratory data validation review non -COI contaminants are identified with COI -equivalent data quality and analytical values at or above regulatory action levels, GeoEngineers will disclose such results to Client with appropriate recommendations, which may include recommendations for reporting to regulatory agencies. Client actions subsequent to any such disclosure shall be at Client's sole risk, and Client shall indemnify and hold harmless GeoEngineers from any claims, liabilities, damages or costs arising from the discovery of regulated non-COls to the extent provided in the INDEMNIFICATION SECTION in these GENERAL CONDITIONS. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties, each party expressly undertakes to retain in confidence, and to require its employees and consultants to retain in confidence, all data and/or information of the other party that is not generally known to the public, whether of a technical, business or other nature, that has been identified as being proprietary and/or confidential or that by the nature of the circumstances surrounding the disclosure reasonably ought to be treated as proprietary and confidential ("Confidential Information"). Each party agrees not to use the Confidential Information of the other party except pursuant to this Agreement. The receiving party will not disclose any item of Confidential Information to any person other than its employees, agents or contractors who need to know the same in the performance of their duties except as may be required by law orjudicial order. The receiving party will protect and maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information of the disclosing party with reasonable care, including but not limited to informing all employees, agents or contractors to whom Confidential Information is disclosed of the confidentiality obligations imposed by this Agreement. Confidential Information does not include any data or information which the receiving party can prove (a) was in the receiving party's lawful possession prior to its disclosure by the disclosing party; (b) is later lawfully obtained by the receiving party from a third party without notice to the receiving party of any obligation of confidentiality or other restrictions with respect to use thereof; (c) is independently developed by the receiving party; (d) is, or later becomes, available to the public through no breach of an obligation of confidentiality by the receiving party; or (e) is approved for disclosure in writing by the disclosing party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GeoEngineers may use the Client's name and logo in connection with identifying its prior customers and projects. Data and/or information that is disclosed due to a party's computer systems being hacked or through other such improper or illegal cyber conduct, including but not limited to phishing and viruses, shall not be considered a disclosure under this paragraph.

GeoEngineers grants Client a limited license to utilize its Instruments of Service for the purposes described in the scope of services, and for maintenance of the Project thereafter, subject to any limitations expressed in the Instruments of Service. GeoEngineers may withdraw or terminate that limited license at any time if Client fails to comply with this Agreement, including but not limited to the circumstance in which Client fails to timely pay outstanding invoices. In the event that GeoEngineers withdraws the limited license, Client herein acknowledges that Client is prohibited from using the Instruments of Service for any purpose from that date forward. GeoEngineers will not be responsible nor liable, and Client will hold GeoEngineers harmless for any damages or injury flowing, or allegedly flowing, from Client's inability to utilize the Instruments of Service as a result of the circumstances described herein. Client herein agrees that injunctive or other relief is appropriate if GeoEngineers believes that Client is utilizing the Instruments of Service in a manner contrary to this paragraph or as otherwise described in the preceding paragraphs under this Article titled "Instruments of Service and Proprietary Methodologies." This paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement. GeoEngineers may provide Client with Instruments of Service that include preexisting content or data which are generated at least in part by or derived from proprietary and or patented methodologies and systems. GeoEngineers may also apply proprietary and or patented methodologies and systems in fulfillingthe terms of this agreement, and may also make temporarily available to Client a working knowledge of such proprietary and or patented methodologies and systems during the term of this agreement.

Unless otherwise specified in writing between the parties, no such Client use of Instruments of Service shall give rise to any right in the Client to use the proprietary and or patented methodologies and systems referred to herein. During and only during the term of this agreement, GeoEngineers grants to Client a nonexclusive, nontransferable license to employ such proprietary and or patented methodologies and systems as have been disclosed to Client by GeoEngineers pursuant to fulfilling the terms of this agreement.
