PO Box 186 Fort Pierce, Florida 34954 Attention: Mr. Roger A. Priest PROPOSAL FOR CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS TESTING MAVERICK BOAT GROUP - PHASE II EXPANSION FORT PIERCE, ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA RACE Proposal No. P21-1856 February 2, 2021 Andersen Andre Consulting Engineers, Inc. (RACE) is pleased to present this proposal for performing construction materials testing for the proposed Maverick Boat Group Phase II Expansion project in Fort Pi Ferce, St. Lucie County, Florida. RACE is the Geotechnical Engineer of Record for this expansion project, and has previously presented our Geotechnical Engineering Evaluation in a report dated 11/044/20 (AACE Project No. 20-249). Based on our review of the civil site -work plans prepared by I�MA Engineering &Surveying (undated) we understand that the projectwill consist of constructing an approximately 106,250SF single -story (40- ft high) addition to the existing Maverick Boat Group manufacturing facility located at 4551 St. Lucie Boulevard in Fort Pierce, St. Lucie County, Florida. The proposed addition will essentially "mirror" the existing manufacturing building and, as such, will be constructed with metal siding walls, isolated steel columns, and supported by individual column foundations and a slab -on -grade. For construction of this type, we expect maximum column loads of 250 kips. Additional site improvement features will include parking expansion on the south, east and `vest sides of the existing building as well as minor drainage improvements. It is estimated that 1-foot of fill or less will needed to raise the proposed building grades. Further, as part of the building expansion, a series of helical tension anchors -vill be installed within column foundations. We understand that the services for which we are preparing this proposal include density testing of all soil and base rock as well as concrete testing associated with site work activities, and also for vertical construction. We note that we have not been provided with specific structural engineering design drawings and specifications. As such, we have estimated the number of tests and associated man-hours for this project based on the limited information provided as well as our experience with similar projects. Therefore, it should be understood that this proposal may require revision once design plans have been finalized. For the purposes of this proposal, we have separated our services (and costs) as follows: Site Work ► Density testing for building pad, parking lot, roadways, utility and stormdrain excavation backfill, and curb/sidewalk subgrade; ► Compressive strength of concrete testing for sidewalks and curbing; Vertical Construction ► Density testing for building footings, conduit backfill, etc.; ► Compressive strength of concrete testing for building foundations/slabs; ► Monitoring of Helical Anchor Installation 834 SW Swan Avenue, Port St. 1ucie, Florida 34983 Ph: 772-807-9191 Fx: 772-807-9192 www.aaceinc.com PROPOSAL CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS TESTING PROPOSED MAVERICK BOAT PHASE II EXPANSION \ACE Proposal No. P21-1856 Page -2- Based upon our cursory review of the project plans and our prior experience in the area and with roadway projects similar to this one, we estimate the cost of itemized services will be $24,165.00. The actual cost of AACE's testing services will be a function of work actually performed in accordance with the attached unit fee schedule. Contractor efficiency, methodology and changes in testing frequencies may affect the testing cost. We will notify you in advance if it appears that the cost estimate will be exceeded. We note that Structural Steel and/or Threshold inspections are not included herein. We will be pleased to revise this proposal to include such services. To authorize us to proceed `vith this project, please execute and return to us a copy of the attached Professional Services Agreement form or a Purchase Order number. If you have any questions or if we can provide any additional information, please feel free to contact us at your convenience. Best Regards, ANDERSEN ANDRE CONSULTING ENGINEERS, INC. David P.

Mass Site Fill • Natural Ground - 1 test performed 1 foot into natural ground (after stripping and grubbing) per 5,000 square feet, or 2,000 square feet if within a building area; • Embankment/Filled Area - 1 test per 5,000 square feet per lift of fill or 2,000 square feet if within a building area; Parking Expansion: • Natural Ground - 1 test performed 1 foot into natural ground (after stripping and grubbing) per 5,000 square feet; • Embankment/Filled Area - 1 test per 5,000 square feet, per lift of fill; • Stabilized Subgrade - 1 test per 5,000 square feet; • Base Course - 1 test (assuming base constructed in one lift) per 5,000 square feet; Building: • Pad Fill - 1 test per 2,000 square feet, per lift of fill; • Slab -On -Grade - 1 test per 2,000 square feet (slab subgrade) • Column/Isolated Footings - Minimum of 1 test performed 1 foot into bottom of footing excavation per footing; Drainage: • Structures -One (1) test per lift of backfill, from bottom of structure to top of structure. (Fill placed on all sides of structure is probed with a manual probe rod to confirm uniform compactive effort); • Piping - 1 test per 200 lineal feet (or per backfill/open cut operation) per lift along side of pipe to top -of -pipe, then every 1 foot of fill atop pipe thereafter; Utilities: • Structures -One (1) tests per lift of backfill, from bottom of structure to top of structure. (Fill placed on all sides of structure is probed with a manual probe rod to confirm uniform compactive effort); • Sanitary Sewer Pipe - 1 test per 200 lineal feet (or per backfill/open cut operation) per lift along side of pipe to top -of -pipe, then every 1 foot of fill atop pipe thereafter; • Water Main - 1 test per 200 lineal feet of pipe (or per backfill/open cut operation) per lift from top -of -pipe to finished grade. We have assumed a maximum of 4 feet of cover for water main backfill; • Misc. Electrical/Plumbing/Irrigation/I.T. Conduit - 1 test per 200 lineal feet of pipe (or per backfill/open cut operation) per lift from top -of -pipe to finished grade. Concrete/Grout Testing; • A minimum of one set of four (4) cylinders will be made for every pour, and for each 50 cubic yards for larger pours; • One slump test will be performed for every pour, and for each 50 cubic yards for larger pours; PROPOSAL CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS TESTING PROPOSED MAVERICK BOAT PHASE II EXPANSION \ACE Proposal No. P21-1856 Site Work Testing Page -4- Building_Pad Densi Testing (aproxnately 106 250 ft2 total natural cleared grade and 1' of fill): ► 120 In -Place Density Tests @ $25.00/test................................................. $35000400 Parking Expansion (top 1' of embankment + subgrade +base): ► 50 In -Place Density Tests @ $25.00/test.................................................. $1,250000 Drainage Improvements, if any_(I'iping +Structures): ► Structure Backfill Testing = 10 In -Place Density Tests @ $25.00/test ............................ $250.00 ► Piping Backfill Testing = 30 In -Place Density Tests @ $25.00/test .............................. $750900 Utility Improvements, if any_ ► 20 In -Place Density Tests @ $25.00/test................................................... $500.00 Laborator�Testin�: ► LBRs (base rock and stabilized subgrade); Z. tests @ $315.00/test ............................... $630.00 ► Proctor Tests; estimated 5 tests @ $85.00/test............................................... $425900 Nlan-hours: It is our opinion that the selected site work contractor will benefit from a near full-time presence of a testing technician for periods of time. This technician will be on -site to assist with proofrolling inspections, and be on -site during backfilling of drainage and sewer installations to facilitate the construction schedule. For the purposes of establishing a testing budget, we have included Senior Field Technician man-hours that we believe will, at a very minimum, be required for this project. Actual hours needed for the successful completion of the project may be more or less than anticipated, and are dependent on contractor efficiency and construction methodology. We have assumed that no weekend work will be performed during this time, and that construction will occur during normal business days/hours (i.e., Monday -Friday, lam to 6pm). ► Senior Field Technician; 20 hours @$60.00/hr............................................. $1,200.00 Engineering and administrative support: ► Senior Project Engineer; 5 hours @$125.00/hr.............................................. $625.00 ► Technical Secretary; 8 hours @$45.00/hr................................................... $360.00 Site Work Testing Subtotal: $84990.00 PROPOSAL CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS TESTING PROPOSED MAVERICK BOAT PHASE II EXPANSION RACE Proposal No. P21-1856 Vertical Construction Testing In -Place Soil Densi Testing: Page -5- ► Isolated Footings and Slab; 100 density tests @ $25.00/test ................. $2,500.00 Helical Anchor Installation Nlonitorin�: ► Senior Project Engineer; 15 hours @$125.00/hr............................................ $1,875.00 ► Senior Field Technician; 40 hours @$60.00/hr............................................. $2,400.00 Concrete Testing: It is difficult to accurately predict the number of concrete specimens needed for QA/QC for a project such as this, since the number of tests/sets of test cylinders is largely based on the number of pours (i.e.,1 set of cylinders for a 50 cubic yard pour vs. 5 sets of cylinders for five separate 10 cubic yard pours, etc.). Without knowing the Contractor's methodology or pour schedule for this work element, we largely base the concrete testing budget on our experience with similar projects. For this purpose, we have assumed the following: (1) Slab -On -Grade and Isolated Footings: ► 80 sets of 4 cylinders for compressive strength testing @ $90.00/set ........................ $7,200.00 (extra cylinders for early break results will be billed @ $15.00/cylinder) (2) Technician for standby during pours, extra slumping, etc. -estimated 20 hours @ 60.00/hour ....... $1,200.00 Vertical Construction Testing Subtotal:...... $15,175.00 TOTAL ANTICIPATED TESTING BUDGET (SITE WORK + VERTICAL) .. .. $24,165.00 PROPOSAL CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS TESTING PROPOSED MAVERICK BOAT PHASE II EXPANSION RACE Proposal No. P21-1856 The following conditions apply to this project: (1) A minimum of 4 density tests will need to be performed per hour, per visit to the site. (2) Stand-by time will be charged at $60.00/hour per technician. Page -6- (3) We note that density testing frequencies are approximate and based on our experience with similar projects and anticipated contractor methodologies. Allowances for re -tests (from failing density tests) are not included herein. (4) The contractor should contact Andersen Andre Consulting Engineers, Inc. at (772) 807-9191 a minimum of 24 hours prior to an,, testing and 48 hours prior to weekend and evening work. (5) Unit rates apply to standard working days, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m. Testing and hourly rates will be increased by 50% for weekend, holiday or after-hours services. (6) The following testing costs are not included within this estimate: costs associated with asphalt testing (either in the field or laboratory), bacteriological testing of potable water (bac-t's), slab flatness/levelness testing, and structural steel inspections. If any such testing or inspections are required, we will be please to revise this proposal. (7) If our testing estimate for a specific work element is insufficient for that particular activity, resources from another work element can be used without prior authorization from the client as long as our total cost estimate is not exceeded. We will notify you in advance if it appears that the cost estimate presented in the attached unit fee schedule will be exceeded. (8) Soil sample and concrete cylinder pickup for laboratory testing (e.g., Proctor, FBV, LBR testing, compressive strength, etc.) will be billed at $60.00/hour if not scheduled with other work. note that the number of sets of concrete cylinders is dependent on numerous factors, such as the size and duration of pours. For example, if numerous "smaller" pours (e.g., 10-yard pours) occur during construction, our estimate for the number of sets of concrete cylinders may be exceeded, thus requiring revision of this proposal to account for this testing cost increase. (10) AACE's field technicians and engineers do not direct or witness the performance of any work. Neither the presence of an RACE representative on -site nor the observation and testing performed by our firm imply AACE's responsibility for defects discovered in the construction work. (11) AACE will not be responsible for job or site safety for this project; job site safety will be the sole responsibility of the contractor. ANDERSEN ANDRE CONSULTING ENGINEERS, INC.

If Client desires to restore the property to its former condition, AACE will accomplish this and add the cost to its fee. 6 -Damage to Existing Man-made Objects: It shall be the responsibility of the Owner or his duly authorized representative to disclose the presence and accurate location of all hidden or obscure man-made objects relative to field tests, sampling, or boring locations. hen cautioned, advised or given data in writing that reveal the presence or potential presence ofunderground or overground obstructions, such as utilities, AACE �villgive special instructions to its field personnel. As evidenced by your acceptance of this proposal, Client agrees to defend, indemnify and save harmless AACE from all claims, suits, losses, personal injuries, death and property liability resulting from subsurface conditions or damages to subsurface structures or man made objects, owned by Client or third parties, occurring in the performance of the proposed work, whose presence and exact locations were not revealed to AACE in writing, whether such claims or damages are caused in whole or in part by AACE, and agree to reimburse AACE for expenses in connection with any such claims or suits, including reasonable attorney's fees. Client's obligation to indemnify is limited to $1 million per occurrence, which Client agrees bears a reasonable commercial relationship to the Work undertaken by AACE. Client further agrees that these general conditions are a part of the Work's specifications or bid documents, if any. W 7 -Warranty and Limitation of Liability: AACE shall perform services for Client in a professional manner, using that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised by and consistent with the standards of competent consultants practicing in the same or a similar locality as the project. In the event any portion of the services fails to comply with this warranty obligation and AACE is promptly notified in writing prior to one year after completion of such portion of the services, AACE will re -perform such portion of the services, or if re -performance is impracticable, RACE will refund the amount of compensation paid to AACE for such portion of the services. This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties. No other warranty, expressed or implied, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose is made or intended by the proposal for consulting services, by furnishing an oral response of the findings made or by any representations made regarding the services included in this agreement. In no event shall AACE be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss or delay or time -related damages. The remedies set forth herein are exclusive and the total liability of consultant whether in contract, tort (including negligence whether sole or concurrent), or otherwise arising out of, connected with or resulting from the services provided pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed the total fees paid by Client or $50,000.00, whichever is greater. Client may, upon written request received within five days of Client's acceptance hereof, increase the limit of AACE's liability by agreeing to pay AACE an additional sum as agreed in writing prior to the commencement of AACE's services. This charge is not to be construed as being a charge for insurance of any type, but is increased consideration for the greater liability involved. For services involving or relating to pollution, it is further agreed that the Client shall in and hold harmless AACE and their consultants, agents and employees from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses, direct and indirect or consequential damages, including but not limited to fees and charges of attorneys and court and arbitration costs, arising out of or resulting from the performance of the work by AACE, or claims against AACE arising from the work of others. This indemnification provision extends to claims against RACE which arise out of, are related to, or are based upon, the disposal, discharge, escape, release or saturation of vapors, fumes, acids, alkalis, toxic chemicals, liquids, gases or any other material, irritant, contaminant or pollutant in or into the atmosphere or on, onto, upon, in or into the surface or subsurface. Client's obligation to indemnify is limited to $1 million per occurrence, which Client agrees bears a reasonable commercial relationship to the Work undertaken by AACE. Client further agrees that these general conditions are a part of the Work's specifications or bid documents, if any. 8 -Sampling or Testing Location: Unless specifically stated to the contrary, the fees in in this proposal do not include costs associated with professional land surveying of the site or the accurate horizontal and vertical locations of tests. Field tests or boring locations described in our report or shown on our sketches are based on specific in furnished to us by others or estimates made in the field by our technicians. Such dimensions, depths or elevations should be considered as approximations unless otherwise stated in the report. 9 -Sample Handling and Retention :Generally test samples or specimens are consumed at substantially altered during the conduct of tests and AACE, at its sole discretion, will dispose (subject to the following) of any remaining residue immediately upon co sam mpletion of test unless required in writing by the Client to store or otherwise handle the ples. (a) NON HAZARDOUS SAMPLES: At Client's written request, AACE will maintain preservable test samples and specimens or the residue therefrom for thirty (30) days after submission of AACE's report to Client free of storage charges. After the initial 30 days and upon written request, AACE will retain test specimens or samples for a mutually acceptable storage charge and period of time. (b) HAZARDOUS OR POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SAMPLES: In the event that samples contain substances or constituents hazardous or detrimental to human health, safety or the environment as defined by federal, state or local statutes, regulations, or ordinances ("Hazardous Substances" and "Hazardous Constituents", respectively), AACE will, after completion of testing and at Client's expense: (I) return such samples to Client; (ii) using a manifest signed by Client as generator, will have such samples transported to a location selected by Client for final disposal. Client agrees to pay all costs associated with the storage, transport, and disposal of such samples. Client recognizes and agrees that AACE is acting as a bailee and at no time does AACE assume title of said waste. typ C are 10 -Discovery of Unanticipated Hazardous Materials: Hazardous materials or certain es of hazardous materials may exist at a site where there is no reason to believe they could or should be present. RACE and Client agree that the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials constitutes a changed condition mandating renegotiation of the scope o una f work or termination of services. AACE and Client also agree that the discovery of nticipated hazardous materials may make it necessary for AACE to take immediate measures to protect health and safety. AACE agrees to notify Client as soon as practicable should unanticipated hazardous materials or suspected hazardous materials be encountered. lient encourages AACE to take any and all measures that, in AACE's professional opinion, justified to preserve and protect the health and safety of AACE's personnel and the public. Client agrees to compensate AACE for the additional cost of working to protect employees' and the public's health and safety. In addition, Clientwaives any claim against RACE, and agrees to defend, indemnify and save AACE harmless from any claim or liability for injury or loss arising from AACE's discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials or suspected hazardous materials. Client also agrees to compensate AACE for any time spent and expenses incurred by AACE in defense of any such claim, with such compensation to be based upon AACE's prevailing fee schedule and expense reimbursement policy relative to recovery of direct project costs. 11-Joint and Several Liability: The concept of joint and several liability is basically this: When two or more parties are considered responsible for causing injury or damage, any one of as the parties maybe made to provide compensation for as much as 100% of the damages sessed. When applied to hazardous materials projects, it is possible that the concept of joint and several liability could be construed to make AACE partly or wholly responsible for damages created directly or indirectly by the hazardous materials. Client agrees that it would be unfair for AACE to be exposed to such an action, because AACE had nothing whatsoever to do with the creation of the hazardous condition. Accordingly, Client waives any claim against AACE, and agrees to defend, indemnify and save AACE harmless from any claim or liability for injury or loss arising from application of a joint and several liability concept that would, in any manner, hold or seek to hold AACE responsible for creating a hazardous condition or permitting one to exist. Client also agrees to compensate AACE for any time spent and expenses incurred by AACE in defense of any such claim, with such compensation to be based upon AACE's prevailing fee schedule and expense reimbursement policy relative to recovery of direct project costs. 12-Legal Jurisdiction: The parties agree that any actions brought to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall only be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in St. Lucie County, Florida. All causes of action arising out of AACE's Work shall be deemed to have accrued and the applicable statutes of limitation shall commence to run not later than either the date of substantial completion of the Work for acts or failures to act occurring prior to substantial completion, or the date of issuance of final payment for acts or failures to act occurring after substantial completion of the Work. ry 13 -Force Majeure: RACE shall not be held responsible for any delay or failure in performance of any part of this Agreement to the extent such delay or failure is caused by fire auth , flood, explosion, war, strike, embargo, government requirement, civil or milita ority, acts of God, act or omission of subcontractors, carriers, client or other similar causes beyond its control.
