(6) Prepare a punch list of the project upon substantial completion. (7) Provide final/completion certificate. Assumptions and Exclusions 1.

If underground investigations are requested, this proposal will be amended accordingly. 2. It is assumed that subsurface investigations and geotechnical engineering services are not required for this project. 3. It is assumed that an application for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control plan certification is not required for this project. 4. Any existing easements are to be supplied by the Township for incorporation in the right-of-way Survey. 5. Investigations and construction considerations relating to the detection, remediation, or mitigation of regulated materials within the site soils are specifically excluded from the scope of work. 6. NJDEP FHA Determination, Freshwater Wetland Delineation, and/or related permits are not anticipated and not included. Should an application for any NJDEP permits be required, this proposal shall be amended. 7. Construction stakeout services are excluded. 8.
