Exhibit “A”

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR ALL ONLINE AGREEMENTS

PLEASE NOTE: These General Terms and Conditions for All Online Agreements (the
“Terms”) apply to all purchase orders (herein “Order”) and agreements (“Agreement”) which the
City of Greenville, South Carolina (“City”) approves or enters into through its web site. If you
have used the City’s website to submit or receive an Agreement for the provision of goods or
services, then the Terms apply. The Terms are incorporated by reference into each web site
purchase order or agreement. No approval or consent by any City employee is valid unless the
Terms apply.

1. Supplier. “Supplier” means the person or business entity providing goods or services to
the City under an Agreement.

2. Entire Agreement. The Terms and the Order are intended by the City and the Supplier to
be a complete and final expression of the Agreement. If there is any conflict between language in
the Terms and the wording of any other document in the transaction which is generated by either
party, then the Terms prevail. No oral order or statement or correspondence to the contrary is
binding, unless it is reduced to writing, is signed by the Purchasing Administrator, and specifically
references this provision. Exceptions will be approved only in extraordinary circumstances. The
Terms also prevail over any course of dealing, course of performance, or usage of trade. However,
notwithstanding the forgoing language, any representation by the Supplier as to the condition of
the goods or services, or their fitness for the City’s particular purpose, shall survive as an express
warranty.

3. Electronic Data Interchanges. When the City transmits the purchase order approval by way
of electronic data interchanges, the Terms apply in the same manner as if they had been included
verbatim in the transmission.

4. Oral Order. Any oral order, by telephone or otherwise, must be confirmed in writing by
the City in order to be binding.

5. Right of Rescission of Oral Order. If the City places an oral order and the Supplier does
not confirm acceptance within fourteen (14) days of the order being placed, then the City may
rescind the order at will.

6. Time Frame for Performance. The duty to begin performance for the delivery of goods or
services becomes binding on the Supplier’s receipt of the Order. The time frame for delivery shall
DocuSign Envelope ID: 68EE5EB5-00B0-41E7-9A5E-027D92ED0B3E

be that as set forth in the Order, and if none is set forth, the time frame shall be a reasonable time.
The duty continues until the delivery of all goods or services contained in the General Scope of
Services set out in the Order. If either the City or the Supplier terminates the Agreement before
completion, then it must do so in accordance with the Agreement as otherwise set out in the
Agreement. The Supplier must complete the delivery of goods or services within the time frame
for performance set out in the Order. Any extension of the time frame for performance must be
for compelling cause shown by the Supplier and approved in writing by the City, with such consent
not to be liberally granted or unreasonably withheld.

7. Cancellation for Cause. The City may terminate the Agreement for the Supplier’s failure
to deliver the goods or services to the City’s reasonable satisfaction, by sending to the Supplier
seven (7) days written notice. Upon termination for cause, the City by commercially reasonable
standards may seek performance by another provider of goods and services and will reserve its
rights to recover any difference in costs and expenses between those actually incurred and those
of the Agreement.

8. Termination without Cause. The City in its discretion may terminate for any reason by
sending to the supplier fifteen (15) days’ written notice. The City shall pay the Supplier for goods
and services which were properly delivered prior to a termination without cause.

9. Compensation. Upon complete delivery of the product in good marketable condition or

receipt of the service as agreed to by the City, the City shall pay to the Supplier the sum stated in
the Agreement, and the Supplier shall accept that amount as full compensation for the goods or
services. The City shall not be obligated to tender partial payment at any time prior to complete
delivery of all goods and services unless it has specifically agreed to so in writing.

10. Monthly Invoices and Payments. In those instances in which the City has consented in the
Agreement to a series of partial payments over time, the Supplier must submit monthly invoices
to the applicable City department project administrator for the work actually completed. The
invoices are due to the City by the tenth day of the month following the month for which invoices
are being submitted. Such invoices shall reference the Agreement number or purchase order
number, whichever is applicable. The invoices shall be accompanied by a description or
itemization of the work done or products delivered, or both, with reasonable specificity as to what
they are. The department project administrator shall undertake to review the invoices within ten
(10) days of their receipt and to issue to the Supplier a check for the amount due within thirty (30)
days of their receipt. In the event the department project administrator determines in good faith
that less than the full amount is due under the terms of the Agreement, then the City shall pay the
undisputed amount as here provided and provide written notice with the delivery of the undisputed
sum of the reason or reasons for the remainder being withheld. The parties shall work promptly

Page 2 of 6
Rev_14Dec2016
DocuSign Envelope ID: 68EE5EB5-00B0-41E7-9A5E-027D92ED0B3E

to resolve payment issues within ten (10) days of the department project administrator’s providing
written notice.

11. Payment and Use Not Acceptance. Neither payment to the Supplier nor use of the delivered
goods or services shall be deemed acceptance or non-conforming goods and services, nor shall any
other act of omission by the City be deemed acceptance, other than specific written
acknowledgement of acceptance, and such acknowledgement may list conditions or contingencies.

12. Necessary Permits, Licenses, and Certificates. The Supplier shall obtain and comply with
all necessary and appropriate permits, licenses, and certificates required under applicable federal,
state, and local law in performing duties under the Agreement. This duty shall include but not be
limited to obtaining a business license from the City of Greenville, if one is not currently held by
the Supplier for the business activity of the transaction.

13. City’s Right to Audit. The Supplier shall maintain accurate and detailed books, records,
correspondence, and accounts regarding the goods and services rendered to the City under the
Agreement. The supplier shall do so in accordance with sound cost accounting and generally
accepted accounting principles and procedures. The City shall have the right to audit such books
etc. during the course of regular business hours upon reasonable notice to the Supplier, at any time
during the term of the Agreement and for a period of two (2) years thereafter.

14. Independent Contractor. The Supplier is and shall represent itself as an independent
contractor which is providing goods or services, or both, to the City. Neither the Supplier nor its
employees and agents are employees or agents of the City, nor shall they represent themselves as
agents of the City. The Supplier is solely responsible for its negligent acts or omissions, or for its
willful acts in tort, as well as its breaches of contract with subcontractors or third parties. The City
has no duty to and shall not deduct or make payment to federal and state governments for
withholding taxes or insurance of any type. The City has no duty and will not pay premiums for
workers compensation coverage, which shall be the sole duty of the Supplier to the full extent
otherwise required by law. The supplier waives its claims of subrogation to the City for workers’
compensation, to the extent that the Supplier has or might have any such claims.

15. Mandatory Insurance Coverage. The Supplier shall procure and maintain insurance
coverage for occurrences during the Term of the Agreement against any claim for injuries to
persons or damages to property which may arise from, or in connection with, the performance of
services or delivery of goods by the Supplier, its employees, agents, contractors, or representatives.
Such insurance shall be in the following minimum amounts:

A. Commercial General Liability $1,000, 000.00 per occurrence

B. Comprehensive Motor Vehicle Liability $1,000,000.00 per occurrence

Page 3 of 6
Rev_14Dec2016
DocuSign Envelope ID: 68EE5EB5-00B0-41E7-9A5E-027D92ED0B3E

C. Workers Compensation Statutory limits

D. Employers Liability $500,000/$500,000/$500,000

The Supplier shall deliver certificates of insurance to establish proof of current and ongoing
coverage to the City’s Risk Manager. The delivery shall be achieved by at least one of the
following methods:
Fax transmission: 864-298-2744;
Email: inscerts@greenvillesc.gov
Mail: Risk Manager, OMB Dept.
PO Box 2207
Greenville, SC 29602
Personal delivery: Risk Manager, 7th Floor
City Hall, 206 South Main Street
Greenville, SC 29601
Further, in the event the Supplier receives notice of insurance cancellation in any form from an
insurance provider or its agent, then the Supplier must assure receipt of written notice within two
(2) days of the Supplier’s receipt of notice by delivery in one of the above referenced means of
contact.
The General Liability policy must contain or be endorsed to contain a provision naming the City,
its officers, officials, and employees as additional insured’s for activities arising under the
Supplier’s delivery of goods or services under the Agreement. The coverage shall be primary as
to the Supplier’s negligent acts and omissions or willful misconduct. It shall apply separately to
each insured against whom a claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the limits of
the insurer’s liability coverage.
The Workers’ Compensation Coverage shall apply to all of the Supplier’s employees who are in
any way connected with the Supplier’s performance under the Agreement. The coverage shall
comply with all applicable state laws and provide a waiver of subrogation from the Supplier against
the City, its officers, officials, agents and employees, unless otherwise approved by the City.

The supplier must obtain insurance coverage from insurers with a current A. M. Best’s rating of
net less than A: VII. The insurers must be licensed to do insurance business in the State of South
Carolina, unless otherwise approved by the City. The Supplier cannot be a self-insured in order
to meet these requirements, unless the City in writing consents for the particular named Supplier
for the specific Agreement.

The Supplier shall be solely liable and the City in no way shall be responsible for any coverage
deductible, co-insurance penalty, or self-insured retention (if applicable), including any loss
sustained because of the operation of the deductible, penalty, or retention.

Rev_14Dec2016
DocuSign Envelope ID: 68EE5EB5-00B0-41E7-9A5E-027D92ED0B3E

Further, the Supplier has an affirmative duty, and shall carry out that duty, to see that any
subcontractor performing on the Supplier’s behalf shall also have the same insurance obligations
as are borne by the Supplier under these general terms and conditions.

16. Assignment of Duties. Neither the City nor the Supplier may assign its duties under the
Agreement without the prior written authorization of the other.

17. Severability. If a court with competent jurisdictions concludes that any one provision of
the Agreement is invalid as a matter of law, then that provision only shall be separated from the
remainder of the Agreement. All other duties of both parties shall be unaffected and shall remain
valid and enforceable.

18. No Waiver and Delay. If either the City or the Supplier waives a breach by the other, that
waiver is not a waiver of any breach subsequently occurring, No delay in objecting to or otherwise
not acting to preserve rights regarding the other party’s breach shall be a waiver.

19. Illegal Immigration. By entering into the Agreement, the Supplier is making an affirmative
representation to the City that it has reviewed, understood, and complied with all federal and state
laws applicable to hiring practices intended by the governments to preclude illegal immigrants
from working. There shall be no worker who performs services or delivers goods who is not a
citizen of the United States or who does not have the requisite authorization to work in the United
States. Further the Supplier warrants that it has taken all precautions under the law in order to
make these assurances.

20. Certification of Compliance with Anti-discrimination Provisions of Section 11-35-5300,

Code of Laws of South Carolina, 1976. If this Agreement shall have a total potential value of
ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) or more, and/or unless such goods and/or services are offered to
City for at least twenty percent (20%) less than the lowest certifying business, then, by entering
into this Agreement, Contractor hereby certifies to City that Contractor is not currently engaged
in, nor will it engage in, the boycott of a person or entity based in or doing business with World
Trade Organization members and/or those with which the United States has free trade or other
agreements aimed at ensuring open and nondiscriminatory trade relations, with the understanding
that failure to make such affirmative certification shall affect an automatic termination of this
Agreement.

21. Governing Law and Venue. The parties agree that South Carolina law governs all
provision of the Agreement, and the Agreement shall be construed in accordance with South
Carolina law. If either party initiates an action to enforce the Agreement, then such action must in
the Court of Common of Greenville County, or the Magistrates Court of the downtown area. To

Page 5 of 6
Rev_14Dec2016
DocuSign Envelope ID: 68EE5EB5-00B0-41E7-9A5E-027D92ED0B3E

the extent that an action can be brought in federal court, then it must be brought in the United
States District Court for the District of South Carolina, Greenville Division.

22. Indemnification. Regardless of any provision otherwise contained in the Agreement, the
Supplier must indemnify and hold harmless the City, its officials and officers, its employees,
contractors, agents, and representatives from any claim brought against them, judgment entered
against them, or reasonable settlement made on their behalf, whenever the claim, judgment or
settlement pertains to acts or omissions arising from the Supplier’s negligent or willfully improper
exercise or failure to exercise duties under the Agreement. The same duty to indemnify and hold
harmless shall also include the City’s costs and expenses incurred in the reasonable defense of
such claims, inclusive of civil and criminal fines, judgments, settlements, attorney fees and
litigation costs of any type in securing a defense upon learning of the claim, in preparation of trial
or administrative proceeding during the trial or proceeding, and at all levels of appeal. This duty
to indemnify and hold harmless shall survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement.

23. Modification. No modification of the Agreement shall be valid and binding unless it is
first reduced to writing and executed with the same formality as the original Agreement. Any
modification shall also be subject to the Terms.

to furnish the required services, and the offeror will furnish to the City all such information and

of annual controllable procurement expenditures which are defined as agreements between the
City and a contractor to provide or procure labor, materials, equipment, supplies and services to,
for, or on behalf of the City.
Preference in scoring proposals: In making procurement decisions which require written
evaluations using weighted factors on a 100-point scale, M/WBEs submitting proposals shall

of Greenville Identification of M/WBE Participation), OMB Form 5B (City of Greenville M/WBE
Program Listing of the Good Faith Efforts), and the Small/Woman-Owned/Minority Business
Enterprise Form.

SMALL/DISADVANTAGED/MINORITY BUSINESS ENTERPRISES PARTICIPATION

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING CAPABILITIES A
Terracon provides a comprehensive range of Renvironmental consulting services including multi-level
environmental site assessments. Terracon’s Greenville, SC office has extensive experience in both the
Y
public and private sectors and has long established relationships with the local, state, and federal
regulatory agencies. Our office can readily respond to needs in a timely manner within the upstate of
South Carolina including the City of Greenville. Our professionals collectively conduct, supervise and
review thousands of Environmental Site Assessments, Environmental Site Investigations, and other
environmental consulting services throughout the United States each year. Terracon routinely provides
environmental consulting services in conjunction with geotechnical engineering and materials testing and
inspections on the same project for the same client to insure continuity between the various project
phases.

Terracon routinely assists counties and local governments, lending firms, developers, corporate
investors, real estate companies, and industrial and manufacturing companies in making critical, timely
and economically sound decisions regarding property management and ownership transfers.

EXPERIENCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS AND INVESTIGATIONS

Terracon conducts a variety of assessments ranging from ASTM 1527-13 Phase I ESAs to extensive
subsurface investigations (Phase II ESAs). Our ability to provide the full range of assessment and
investigation services is enhanced by our complete field service capability, as well as our diverse staff of
professionals. Of the firms in the Carolinas with the required specific experience to complete this contract,
Terracon has more experience, by far, conducting Phase I and Phase II ESAs. This experience helps
us to better understand the challenges that may arise when completing the assigned tasks. This
understanding helps us to mitigate these potential challenges oftentimes before they become a major
and many times a costly concern.

Two types of ESAs are routinely performed by Terracon: Phase I

ESA and Phase II ESA. The goal of the Phase I ESA is to identify
recognized environmental conditions (RECs) such as hazardous
substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions
that indicate an existing or past release, or a material threat of a
release that may impact environmental media on the property. We
perform Phase I ESAs in strict accordance with requirements of
ASTM E1527-13 standards and routinely include a limited review
of non-scope considerations including radon, wetlands and

Phase II ESAs.
Accreditation Conference (NELAC)-certified laboratory, such as Analytical Environmental Services, a
Woman Owned Business (WBE) based in Atlanta, GA, will analyze select parameters, depending upon
the specific type of suspect or known contamination of concern. Our Phase II reports will be reviewed
internally for QC/QA purposes, and signed and sealed by a licensed professional geologist or engineer
identified at the outset of the project assignment as the Authorized Project Reviewer (APR) or a senior,
highly experienced, professional in charge.

When contaminated materials are identified in environmental media, additional assessment is conducted
to understand the extent and degree of the affected area that will be considered as part of the remediation
and reuse planning. By understanding these environmental site conditions, the mechanisms required to
address the site conditions can be identified by Terracon and incorporated into reuse plans.

Terracon provides services on thousands of projects each year. Our culture, systems, and structure
enable us to excel at both small and large projects. By combining our national resources with specific
local expertise, including more than 10 local employees dedicated to this project and more than 100
environmental staff in our nine offices located in
the Carolinas, we consistently overcome
obstacles and deliver the results our clients
expect.

environmentally challenged properties including
many in the City’s Unity Park Project area. Each

Phase I Environmental Site Assessments A
The purpose of an ESA is to identify recognized R
environmental conditions (RECs) that may impact the
property. Phase I ESA activities typically involve the collection and review of information concerning:
Y
• Physical setting
• Regulatory records
• Historical use
• Site and adjoining property reconnaissance
• Interviews with persons/agencies familiar with the site
• Previous report review

Terracon will conduct Phase I ESAs at designated sites in accordance with ASTM Standard E1527-13
and the EPA’s All Appropriate Inquiries Rule. Depending upon the age and use of the property, sampling
for asbestos, lead, radon, or mold may also be recommended as part of the Phase I ESA.

Phase II Environmental Site Assessments

If a recognized environmental condition is identified in the Phase I ESA, a Phase II ESA is typically
recommended. The Phase II ESA is designed to obtain additional information relative to potential
contamination by collecting and analyzing samples of soil, water, and other materials. The scope of a
Phase II ESA is site specific. Components typically include one or more of the following:
• Surface and subsurface soil sampling and analysis
• Groundwater monitoring well installation and sampling
• Soil-vapor surveys
• Aquifer testing
• Sampling and analysis of potential hazardous materials

Terracon will conduct Phase II ESA’s at designated sites in general accordance with the Site Specific
QAPP, ASTM Standard E1903-11, and all applicable state and federal requirements.

ASBESTOS AND LEAD BASED PAINT SERVICES

Terracon provides a full range of asbestos consulting services, from the initial building survey to
abatement project design, monitoring, and operations and maintenance (O&M) plans. Terracon offers a
one-source solution for most asbestos concerns.

Asbestos Surveys
If needed, Terracon will perform building surveys and collect samples of suspect asbestos-containing
building materials (ACBM). Asbestos surveys follow guide-lines established under the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA) Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA)
program and as required by USEPA regulation 40 CFR Part 61, National Emissions Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and SCDHEC Regulation 61-86.1. All Terracon inspectors are
licensed and certified as required by federal and state regulations.

Asbestos surveys begin with a review of construction documents to identify any suspect ACBM. A visual

survey is then conducted, and suspect ACBM A is sampled and analyzed for asbestos content. In
accordance with federal regulations, only those R
materials containing greater than 1 percent asbestos are
reported as containing asbestos.
Y

Management Plans
Terracon prepares management plans that provide specific procedures for operating and working safely
around ACBM. Commercial plans include O&M programs that explain how to protect a building’s
maintenance and housekeeping personnel, tenants, and occupants from exposure. Management plans
also provide the basis for making informed decisions regarding potential long-term economic liabilities
associated with asbestos.

Abatement Planning and Monitoring

Terracon has extensive experience in preparing plans and specifications for remedial actions including
enclosure, encapsulation, and partial or complete removal. Terracon can also provide technicians for air
sampling during the abatement process. These personnel are certified through the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and use NIOSH sampling protocols.

NATURAL RESOURCES AND THE NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT

Evaluating, identifying, and designing programs to minimize the impact of human activity on natural and
cultural resources is the key to Terracon’s natural resources program. Conservation of wildlife habitat,
preserving archaeologically-significant sites, and protection of vegetation are the guiding concerns in
considering opportunities and constraints in developing innovation solutions for environmentally sensitive
areas.

To many, the requirements established under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) present a
formidable obstacle to their development projects. Our experience has shown that a carefully considered
review of environmental concerns can provide an effective framework for both development and
conservation of natural resources. We have assisted clients with natural resource management through
the performance of multi-disciplined analyses, planning, and design projects. The following natural and
cultural resource services can be completed by Terracon staff:

G. Availability and Capacity A
R
Currently, Terracon is operating at a capacity represented by approximately 60 percent chargeability on
a company-wide basis. With our structure and Y company philosophy of sharing available resources, we
have the ability to increase our capacity to approximately 80 percent chargeability. Based on Terracon’s
current workload and backlog, we can continue to work at approximately 60 percent chargeability for
three months. For the following three months following current backlog accounts for approximately 40
percent capacity. Beyond six months, our current projections indicate approximately 30 percent of our
available chargeable capacity is currently committed until the end of the year. Terracon’s backlog
projections are based upon a few large projects that can be projected over a period of a year. However,
the majority of our projects are small to medium sized, consisting of individual projects valued at less
than $10,000 with durations less than two months. In short, Terracon Greenville office has enough
capacity and availability of staff to support any projects from this On-call Geotechnical Testing &
Consulting Services.

An example of a project involving requests for rapid mobilization of manpower and collaboration involved
a client request to provide two-man teams for assessment and evaluation of groundwater characteristics
at multiple coal ash sites in North Carolina. Within a one-week period, Terracon was able to organize and
mobilize 12 people from our South and North Carolina offices and 2 people from our Houston Texas
office. The project lasted approximately 3 months with a typical work schedule of 6 days per week and
10 to 12 hours per day (or more). Even with the demanding schedule and consumption of manpower,
Terracon’s collaborative effort allowed us to handle existing and new projects at the local offices without
delay.

MINORITY AND WOMAN OWNED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PARTICIPATION

Terracon is not a M/WBE; however, Terracon takes every opportunity to team with local businesses and
M/WBEs. On May 16, 2016, Terracon and Consultech Environmental, LLC, a woman-owned,
economically disadvantaged, 8(a) firm, entered into a US SBA approved Mentor Protégé Agreement.
Terracon (Mentor) and Consultech (Protégé) agree that establishing a mentor/protégé relationship will
enhance the capabilities of the Protégé and improve its ability to successfully compete for contracts
consistent with the goals of SBA’s Mentor/Protégé Program. Terracon takes great pride in our efforts to
promote participation of woman, veteran, and minority businesses, whenever possible.

ReWa, SC | On-Call Consulting Services | 2013 - Ongoing

Solar Testing | Geotechnical Testing and Consulting Services
Mauldin, Piedmont and Dublin Creek, South Carolina
In 2017, Renewable Water Resources (ReWa) planned for 3 solar farms at
their existing facilities. These facilities are located at Mauldin Road in
Greenville, South Carolina, Piedmont Regional in Piedmont, South Carolina
and Durbin Creek in Fountain Inn, South Carolina. At all 3 facilities, the
development plan included construction of solar PV module mounted on a
tracker mounting system. The solar modules system will be supported on
driven steel W-section piles.

As part of geotechnical investigation, Terracon performed standard

penetration test (SPT) at all 3 sites. The number of SPT borings ranged from
6 to 12 borings for each site. Rock coring was also performed at Piedmont
site to evaluate the shallow bedrock. Various foundation options were
discussed with project designer AECOM and unit load capacities were
provided for various soil layers.

six W 6x12 posts (total 12). The piles were driven to
depths ranging between 7 to 11 feet BGS for tension (pull-out) and lateral
Y
tests with approximately 37 ½ to 60 ½ inches of the pile extending above
the ground surface. The pile load testing was performed with reference
made to ASTM D3689 Test Methods for Deep Foundations under Static
Axial Tensile Load and D3966 Test Methods for Deep Foundations under
Lateral Load. Soil load capacities were back calculated using pile load
test data and provided to the designer. Terracon also aided in the bid
support efforts for ReWa.

ReWa Richland Creek Trunk Sewer Improvements | Geotechnical

Testing & Consulting Services
Greenville, South Carolina
In early 2014, Renewable Water Resources (ReWa) planned for
approximately 14,000 feet of gravity sewer, ranging in size between 24 and
48 inches in diameter. The proposed sewer line started south of East
Washington Street (Greenville Zoo parking area) and terminated near the
intersection of Stone Plaza Drive and Chick Springs Road in Greenville,
South Carolina.

As part of geotechnical investigation, Terracon performed drilling coordination with ReWa project
manager and property owners near the sewer line. A total of 10 Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings
were performed along the sewer route. Geotechnical report was prepared to include the earthwork
recommendation, roads crossing and excavation in shallow bedrock. In addition to standard geotechnical
scope described above, Terracon also performed a design of Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) wall
off Pettigru Street. The wall was planned to cease the subsidence of earth behind a parking lot next to
Pettigru Street. Terracon also aided in the bid support efforts for ReWa and performed construction
observation and materials testing during the wall construction. Construction of the project started in 2016
and it was finished in 2017.

Upper Reedy Sewer Line | Geotechnical Testing and Consulting Services

Greenville, South Carolina
Renewable Water Resources (ReWa) is planning for potential upgrade options for
trunk sewer that runs along the Reedy River from north of downtown Greenville into
Travelers Rest. Based on our understanding, the sewer line will be installed to a
maximum depth of 15 feet below the existing ground surface. It is anticipated that
the new sewer will be constructed via open cut methods, except for the crossings of
major roads. These crossings will be achieved by jacking and boring a steel casing.

As part of the geotechnical investigation, Terracon performed standard penetration

testing (SPT) at the site along the proposed route. A total of twenty-two (22) borings

Pettigru Street Retaining Wall | Geotechnical Testing and Consulting Services

Greenville, South Carolina
As part of Richland Creek Trunk Sewer Improvements, ReWa was planning to repair an existing retaining
wall along Pettigru Street that was in the risk of failure. Due to our previous involvement with Richland
Creek project, ReWa retained Terracon to perform
geotechnical field explorations and investigation, and
laboratory testing to determine the in-situ strength of soils at
the wall location. Terracon performed SPT soil test borings
and rock coring to determine strength of foundation and
reinforced soils. As part of the contract, wall was designed by
Terracon and design drawings were provided to ReWa.
Terracon helped ReWa Project Managers to obtain qualified

Webster Street Retaining Wall | Geotechnical Testing & Consulting Services
Greenville, South Carolina
In 2015, a Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) wall located
along Webster Street was damaged after a large rain event.
The wall may have failed due to built-up of pore water
pressure that caused lateral movement along a 100 feet
long section.

Terracon was approached by City of Greenville to provide

engineering services for the wall repair on emergency basis.
As soon as the damaged section was removed by City of
Greenville construction crew, Terracon was on-site to
perform Hand Auger and Dynamic Cone Penetration (DCP) explorations at the base of the wall. Borings
were performed to determine the soil subgrade strength at the footing elevation. Mr. Nitin Dudani worked
with City of Greenville engineer, Mr. Eddie Littleton, P.E. to aid in the design of the replacement section.
Design recommendations were provided for the planned cast-in-place wall. Terracon performed the testing
on footing subgrade during the construction of new wall sections and provided various suggestions to
make wall construction cost effective (use of geotextile in weaker soil subgrades instead of deep undercuts
and replacement). Terracon also provided concrete strength testing for cast-in-place wall portion and
backfill compaction testing behind the wall.

This Brownfields project is unique in that it A
is a first of its kind in the state of South R
Carolina. The primary environmental concern
Y
present on this property was asbestos
containing building materials. The South
Carolina Department of Health and
Environmental Control (SCDHEC) Brownfields
Program is not designed to address properties
primarily impacted by asbestos containing
building materials. However, Mr. Tice Welborn,
P.G., Project Manager for this site, discussed
the project with SCDHEC Brownfields Staff
and determined the best course of action to take at the state level. At the federal level, the EPA allows
for the utilization of assessment grant funds to assess for asbestos; however, the utilization of cleanup
funding for an “asbestos abatement only” site is typically only awarded to “exceptional” projects. After
discussing this project with EPA Brownfields staff and navigating several EPA policy hurdles, this project
was determined to be one of those “exceptional” projects and with Terracon’s assistance, the City of
Pickens successfully applied for Brownfields Cleanup funding, making this the first US EPA Brownfields
Cleanup Grant funded asbestos abatement project in the state of South Carolina.

The City of Pickens leveraged over $1.6 million

in funding to redevelop this property which is
now fully redeveloped and includes a farmer’s
market, playground and greenspace, an
extension to the Doodle Trail, and a trail access
point. Pickens has since leveraged the success
of this Brownfields project to acquire, with
Terracon’s assistance, a $300,000 Brownfields

The Beach Development Company

Main + Stone Mixed-Use Development | Geotechnical Testing & Consulting Services and
Environmental Consulting
Greenville, South Carolina
The Main & Stone Site is located at the intersection of North Main Street and East Stone Avenue in
Greenville, SC. In 2013, The Beach Company, announces that construction of a 292-unit mixed-use
multi-family property. In addition to apartment homes, this project will add 20,800 square feet of retail
and commercial space to create an urban epicenter to this ideally located site, which connects
Greenville’s Historic District neighborhoods in the highly desirable North Main area. Terracon was
contracted to perform a Phase I ESA for the site. The Phase I ESA identified two historical gas stations

findings, Terracon provided a Site Workplan for
additional assessment. After approval by DHEC,
Terracon initiated a Limited Site Assessment (LSI) to
evaluate subsurface soil and groundwater beneath the
property for the potential presence of petroleum and/or
chlorinated

hydrocarbons. As part of the LSI, a ground penetrating radar

(GPR) survey was conducted. Soil borings and groundwater
samples were collected from the footprint of the proposed area
of redevelopment. Petroleum constituents were detected in soil
and groundwater on site with an indication of current and former
gas station operations as a source. Following the initial LSI, the
prospective purchaser entered into a Non-Responsible Party
Voluntary Cleanup Contract (NRP-VCC) with SCDHEC and the
site was entered into the SCDHEC Brownfields
Program. Based on the results of the LSI, Terracon prepared
a Site Management Plan and a Vapor Mitigation Plan which were approved by SCDHEC and detailed
how soil from the site would be characterized and handled during redevelopment activities and how vapor
issues associated with contaminated groundwater and soil would be managed during the new
construction. Designs for Vapor Mitigation Systems (VMS) at seven buildings at the site were provided
by Terracon after the NRP-VCC was entered into by the developer. During installation of the VMS,
Terracon provided Quality Assurance/Quality Control. After installation of the VMS was completed,
Terracon provided testing of both indoor air and subslab vapor conditions in order to confirm the
effectiveness of both the SMP and the VMS system. As a result of Terracon’s findings, SCDHEC will be
providing a Certificate of Completion with a deed restriction for groundwater use

In addition to environmental services, Terracon was selected by the owner to perform Geotechnical
Exploration and Consulting services for the design phase. During the geotechnical investigation,
Terracon utilized pressuremeter data to help design the parking garage foundations with 1,000 kips
column loads. Our settlement analysis with pressuremeter data showed that parking garage building can
be supported on shallow foundation system without the need for ground improvement system, thus
providing large cost savings in the foundation construction.

During construction of this project, Terracon provided Construction Materials Testing and Special
Inspection services. These services included observations and testing of soils, post -tension concrete,
reinforced masonry, structural steel and pavements.

I. Local Experience working with Government
A Agencies
Terracon Greenville’s team members have provided,R geotechnical testing, environmental consulting and
construction materials testing services for over Y
50 county and municipal governments. This experience
sets us apart from our competitors, and more importantly, grants us the insight to better understand the
needs of local governments which differ significantly from those of private sector entities.

Our local staff members have provided services to numerous government agencies throughout the
upstate. Some of our recent experience includes:
■ Oconee County ■ City of Union
■ City of Greenville ■ Greenville County
■ City of Easley ■ Anderson County
■ City of Mauldin ■ Abbeville County
■ City of Travelers Rest ■ Greenwood County
■ Town of Central ■ Spartanburg County
■ Town of Ware Shoals ■ City of Pickens

Terracon’s substantial local and regional knowledge is an advantage with respect to the
completion of Geotechnical Testing, Environmental Consulting and Construction Materials
Testing Services. With vast experience working in the local area, we bring institutional
knowledge that provides time savings and value to the citizens of Greenville.

J. Ability to Perform the Required Services on an On-Call Basis

In order to improve efficiency and ensure accurate communication, Terracon has assigned Mr. Tice
Welborn, P.G. to be the single point-of-contact for services through this contract. He will be responsible
for project coordination, contracting, and overall financial management. Once we have been notified by
the City of a project, Tice will coordinate with the assigned Project Manager and other relevant Terracon
staff who will establish communication with your staff to gain a
solid understanding of the task to be accomplished. The time for Having local staff and
each activity will be assessed, the coordination and selection of Terracon’s depth of
sub-contractors (if needed) and staff verified, and the scheduling resources allows us to
sequence will be developed. Then, as the project begins, the keep the project schedule
project team will maintain regular communication to be sure that moving forward while
all tasks are on track concerning timelines and cost schedules (on working simultaneously on
time and on budget). The City will be provided routine status multiple tasks.
updates throughout the project.

One of the critical components to delivering successful services depends on the quality of the
communications between the City and the Terracon project team. Scheduling is the key component in
project implementation. It drives the entire project from start to successful completion. Proper scheduling
assures each task is assigned and carried out to meet project milestones and deadlines - crucial for
keeping a project on track. Frequent and open communication with the appropriate regulatory agencies,

U
especially during the development of a scope Aand strategy for project implementation, is essential to
developing a schedule that will satisfy the projectR
objectives. Terracon's overall goals and objectives are
to provide real world solutions utilizing our highly specialized services, exemplified by the local knowledge
Y
and experience of our local project team. We are solution oriented.

Terracon’s work objective at a minimum will include considerations of the following:

■ Work closely with the City to define a scope of work for various tasks to achieve technical
and cost objectives.
■ Provide qualified personnel and resources capable of performing the required tasks within
an agreed upon time frame with the recognition that time is almost always of the essence.
■ Provide qualified licensed personnel registered in the State of South Carolina to direct all
required services.
■ Satisfactory and timely performance of the agreed upon tasks.
■ Performance of the work within the approved cost break down or task budget.

■ Proven Project Approach Combined with Innovative Technology: for Materials Testing.
From the outset of a project such as one that may be included in this contract, we plan to
utilize our proprietary software, CMELMS™ (Construction Materials Engineering Laboratory
Management System) and field tablet PCs equipped with wireless communication technology
to get inspection information to all parties as quickly as possible, in real-time. As a result, we
are able to provide timely reporting of test results and field observations. Our project budget
and invoice tracking system allows each testing task to be summarized individually and
compared to the task budget.

In addition to our approach to project management and

communication, our local team utilizes both local and
national resources to generate top quality results while
keeping costs down. By providing services out of our local
office, we’re able to work efficiently and mobilize on a
moment’s notice all while eliminating additional costs such
as those associated with travel.

Unlike many of our competitors, Terracon utilizes in-

house drilling services which are routinely provided
on assessment projects. Drilling services often account for a significant portion (25-50%) of our
Geotechnical and Environmental service budgets and procuring and scheduling contract drilling services
can take a significant amount of time. This allows Terracon to keep project costs down and expedite
project schedules by eliminating the contractor procurement process and scheduling conflicts.
