PREVAlLING WAGE PROPOSALS The California Prevailing Wage Law requires payment of a local "prevailing wage" to workers on publicly funded projects. This includes projects "paid for in whole or in part out of pubiic funds" and has been expanded to include various types of payments, credits and monetary equivalents provided by the State or public entity. The Prevailing Wage Law ex#ends to geotechnicaE engineering consultants, their soi(s/material #esting and buifding inspection personnel. Services subject fo prevailing wage are typically non-professional field services and are applicable during design as wefl as construction. This law significantly increases empl~yee wages for qualified activities on publicly funded projects. lt is our understanding that this project falls under the definition of a prevailing wage projec#. Therefore, we have increased our hourly rates for field services that we believe are subject to prevailing wage. If this project is not cansidered a prevailing wage project, pleas~ contact us for a revision to the cost esfimate. We also need to be notified if certified payroll is required. If you informed us that the project is not subject to prevaifing wage and later it is determined to be a prevailing wage project, you agree to reimburse Kleinfelder, Inc. the fee difference for any and afl prevaifing wage services and associated penalty. AUTHORIZATION We understand that you wilf send over to us a purchase order authorizing us to perform the services outlined here in. If you have any questions regarding this proposal piease contact us at the telephone number provided below. LIMITATIONS As our client, please recognize that construction monitoring is a technique employed to reduce the risk af problems arising during construction. Provision of construction by an engineer is not insurance, nor does it constifute a warranty or guarantee of any type. Even with diligent constn.iction monitoring, some construction defects may be missed. ln al1 cases, the contractor shall retain responsibility for the quality of the work and for 01201PROP (SJ07P009) nb Page 3 of 4 January 10, 2008 Copyright 2008 Kleinfetder KLFINFELDER ~011 Vorlfi Capitol Avei3ue, San ~ose, CA 95132-7009 (~F081 586-7G11 f408} 586-7688 fax adhering to plans and specifications and for repairing defects regardless of when they are found.
