J-U-B Engineers, Inc. 400 Memorial Drive Idaho Falls, Idaho 83402 Phone: (208) 220-5883 Email: jparker@jub.com RE: PROPOSAL Geotechnical Design Continuity Rexburg Riverside Lift Station 50 W 2nd N Rexburg, Idaho Dear Mr. Parker, STRATA is pleased to present this proposal to provide a Geotechnical Design Continuity in support of the planned lift station at the approximate address of 50 W 2nd N in Rexburg, Idaho. We have prepared this proposal based on our electronic correspondence with you and our geotechnical engineering evaluation report dated January 3, 2024. At STRATA, we are committed to providing quality, innovative, and cost-effective geotechnical engineering services for J-U-B Engineers, Inc. (J-U-B). The following paragraphs describe our project understanding, background, proposed scope of services, estimated schedule, and fees. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING We understand the city of Rexburg is planning to replace an existing lift station with a new lift station in the vicinity of 50 W 2nd N in Rexburg, Idaho. The proposed lift station will be located approximately 1,000 feet west of the existing lift station. Based on our current project understanding, the proposed lift station will be constructed approximately 25 to 35 feet below existing grade. The lift station is assumed to be supported by a raft/mat foundation. We understand that JUB is requesting geotechnical design continuity services and plan/specification review to be performed by STRATA as recommended in our geotechnical engineering evaluation report. SCOPE OF SERVICE Based on the above project understanding, we propose to accomplish the following scope of service, if authorized: 1. Coordinate with J-U-B and the City of Rexburg, as necessary, to facilitate review of applicable documents. 2. Complete up to two sessions of review for project plans and specifications (60 percent and 90 percent submittals). 3. Review applicable (maximum of five) contractor submittals including the contractor provided dewatering plan to verify our geotechnical recommendations are incorporated into design plans.

Provide geotechnical continuity through the planned design completion and construction, as individual aspects become available during the schematic and design development phases of the project. ESTIMATED SCHEDULE AND FEES Based on our discussion with JUB, we understand that design for the Rexburg Riverside Lift Station project is anticipated to extend from July through December 2024, with construction beginning between February and April 2025. Our fee for the proposed geotechnical design continuity is based on our understanding of the proposed project, schedule, and anticipated scope of work. If the project is abandoned, we will bill for all services rendered up to the time we receive notification of project abandonment. We will not exceed the quoted fee without your authorization. We provide a cost estimate in the table below: Services Fee Design Consultation and Review of Plans and Specifications $5,240.00 (Time & Expense) Construction Observation and Testing Time & Expense* *STRATA can prepare a proposal and fee estimate for these services upon receipt of additional information. If we become aware of conditions that could affect our scope of service or the proposed fee, we will notify you immediately. The estimated project fees are based on the scope of services outlined in this proposal and does NOT include any site visits or field work. If we are authorized to provide the services outlined in this proposal, we further recommend STRATA be retained to observe that the conditions encountered during construction are consistent with the conditions exposed in explorations. This is critical to the overall geotechnical design process and is the standard of care in the industry. If we are not retained to confirm the conditions encountered and observe our recommendations are followed, we cannot be responsible for construction-related errors, omissions, or contractor or designer misinterpretations of our report recommendations. ADDITIONAL SERVICES Construction Observation and Testing We recommend that STRATA be retained to provide observation, testing, and consultation during construction to verify our design assumptions and provide quality control for the project. We can perform materials testing and observation of earthwork, clay and HDPE liner, asphalt, masonry, concrete, and steel reinforcement. Our construction testing and observation personnel are certified to perform the necessary inspections and have the experience to work closely with the project team. If we are not retained to provide earthwork construction observation and testing, we cannot be responsible for soil- engineering-related construction errors or omissions. We propose to provide these services on a time- and-expense basis, and we can prepare a proposal and fee estimate upon your request. AUTHORIZATION We appreciate the opportunity to present this proposal to J-U-B Engineers, Inc. and we look forward to working with you. If the recommended scope of services is acceptable, please provide an Agreement for Subconsultant Services for our review and signature. We will perform our services under the Agreement Proposal – Geotechnical Design Continuity Rexburg Riverside Lift Station – Rexburg, Idaho File: IFP24171 Page 3 stratageotech.com © 2024 by STRATA. All rights reserved. for Subconsultant Services and this proposal. Again, we sincerely appreciate the opportunity to assist you with this project. If you have any questions about the above scope of service and/or fee, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, STRATA Marshall Putnam, P.E. Michael Woodworth, P.E.
