<br />Schedule of Fees — Geotechnical Laboratory Testing
<br />Compensation for laboratory testing services will be made in accordance with this fee schedule which includes test reports) and
<br />engineering time. Costs of tests not on this schedule will be by quote and/or In accordance with our current hourly fee schedule. The
<br />rates are based on non -contaminated soil. A surcharge will be charged for handling contaminated material, which will be determined
<br />based on the project.

<br />Conditions: Unit rates presented on this fee schedule are for routinely
<br />performed geotechnical laboratory lasts, Numerous other earth material
<br />physical tests can be performed in our geotechnical laboratories, including
<br />rock core, soil cement and soil lime mixture tests. Tests not listed can be
<br />quoted upon request This fee schedule Is valid through December 31, 2022.
<br />Prices am based on the assumption that samples are uncontaminated and do
<br />not contain heavy metals, acids, carcinogens andlor volatile organics which
<br />can be measured by an organic vapor analyzer or photolonlzallon defector
<br />with a concentration greater than 50 parts-per-milllon (ppm). Quoted testing
<br />fees are based on the assumption that no protective clothing will be required
<br />to handle samples. If Level D protective clothing will be required during
<br />handling of samples (as defined In Federal CFR Part 1910.120), then a 40%
<br />Increase In fees presented in this schedule will be applied. Level C protective
<br />clothing will be a so% increase In fees. Converse will not handle samples that
<br />require either Level B or Level A protection in our geotechnical laboratories,
<br />Contaminated samples will be returned to thecllent. Uncontaminated samples
<br />will be disposed of 30 days after presentation of test results. The client must
<br />disclose the source of samples. Samples imported from out of state will be
<br />Incinerated after testing In accordance with requirements of the United States
<br />Department ofAgrlcullure. Soil samples obtained within the State ofCelifornla
<br />currently designated quarantine areas will also be Incinerated in accordance
<br />with the requirement of the Slate of California, Department of Food and
<br />Agriculture, Division of plant Industry, Pest Exclusion. A $5.00 Incineration
<br />fee will be added to each sample that Is required to be incinerated In
<br />accordance with Slate and Federal law.
<br />Test results requiring plots will be presented In a publishable format generated
<br />from computer programs. Otherwise, raw test numbers will be presented. A
<br />minimum laboratory too of $50,00 will be charged to present and mail test
<br />results. Beyond the standard U.S. Mall delivery, specialized transmittal will be
<br />charged at additional cost (e,g„ Federal FG(press, UPS, etc.). Geotechnical
<br />testing does not Include engineering andfor geologic review and analysis.
<br />Typical turnaround for geclechnical laboratory testing Is two weeks (or roughly
<br />ton working days). To expedite test turnaround to five working days, a 60%
<br />Increase in the fees in this schedule will be applied, Many geotechnical tests
<br />require at least one week to perform In accordance with ASTM or other
<br />standard specifications. Fees presented In this schedule for relatively
<br />undisturbed direct shear, consolidation or "pension pressure tests are based
<br />on the assumption that 2.416-Inch Inside diameter brass ring samples will be
<br />provided to the geotechnical laboratory for testing. Remolded specimens will
<br />be compacted In standard 2.6-Inch outside diameter brass rings for direct
<br />shoat, consolidation and expansion pressure tests. All fees presented in this
<br />schedule are based on the assumption that the client will deliver samples to
<br />our laboratory at no additional cost to Converse.
<br />Invoices will be issued monthly and am payable on receipt unless otherwise
<br />agreed upon. Interest of 1.5% par month (but not exceeding the maximum
<br />allowed by law) will be payable on any amount not paid within thirty days;
<br />paymant thereafter to be applied first to accrued Interval and then to the
<br />principle unpaid amount. The Client shall pay any attorneys' fees or other
<br />costs Incurred In collocting any delinquent amounts.
