To reach the area we will need to have heavy equipment on site and shoring may be required.The costs of this will vary by time spent but a budgetary estimate, including prevailing wage,is$15,000 inclusive. SCOPE OF WORK: Subterranean Plumbing Repair 1) Perform a pressure test on each suction and discharge pipe run for the display and filter pump systems, auto fill system,and drain lines. 2) Perform a leak diagnosis using special dyes to confirm the integrity of the basin. 3) An ultrasonic detector and/or a tracer gas(Non-lethal,Nontoxic)will be used to determine the exact location of the leak.The leak detection process is non-intrusive and non-destructive. 4) The area of the leak will be marked for repair. 5) Excavate the identified area until the damaged pipe is exposed. 6) Excavation will be accomplished using the slope method due to the amount of water in the soil and will require a crew of 4 to 6. 7) Once leak is exposed,the damage will be assessed. 8) This proposal assumes that the plumbing to be repaired is a 4"and a 1"pipe that supplies the circular fountain. 9) Per this assumption the plumbing will be repaired using SCH80 PVC of equal size,which includes pipe and fittings as required for the repair. Cost:Inclusive of Parts+Tax and Labor:Not to exceed$15,000 Labor is billed at the appropriate trades prevailing wage rate plus a 33%burden rate and a 30%markup per hour per trade personnel.Work will halt once$15,000 is reached,even if INITIALS: work is not completed,and not proceed without customer approval at that time.

Contractor agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise. 3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or applicable to this Contract are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Contract or any other Contract relating to the City or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage. 4. None of the coverage required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing. 5.

Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contractor or deducted from sums due Contractor, at City option. 8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to City of any cancellation of coverage. Contractor agrees to require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the certificate. 9.
