(Geosyntec) is pleased to submit this proposal to the Indian River County (IRC) Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) to provide additional engineering design and construction support services related to the site preparation activities for Cell 3 of Segment 3 Expansion of the Class I Landfill (hereafter referred to as the Project) at the IRC Landfill (IRCL) facility located in Vero Beach, Florida. The site preparation activities include preparation of the subgrade of the approximately 10.5 -acre Cell 3 footprint, and associated stormwater management features and groundwater monitoring wells in order to expedite the construction of the Cell 3 liner system under a separate procurement contract. This proposal presents the scope of work, schedule, and budget estimate for the additional services related to Phase 1 — Segment 3 Cell 3 site preparation activities. This proposal was prepared by in response to discussions between Mr. Himanshu Mehta, P.E., Managing Director of SWDD and Mr. Ron T. Jones, BCEE, Assistant Managing Director of SWDD and Dr. Timothy Copeland, P.E and Dr. Kwasi Badu-Tweneboah, P.E. both of Geosyntec. Geosyntec has prepared this proposal (professional services) as Exhibit A of Amendment 1 to CCNA-2018-WO No. 18, pursuant to that certain Continuing Contract Agreement for Professional Services, dated 2 May 2023, ("Agreement"), by and between INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, a political subdivision of the State of Florida ("COUNTY") and Geosyntec ("Cons ultant").

FL9363-01! 11,23067 Segment 3 Cell 3 Site Preparation Amendment 1.doc 011111t)F`v',, I '{'inti atS I innovator'; Mr. Himanshu Mehta, P. E. 14 November 2023 Page 2 PROJECT BACKGROUND The IRCL facility is located in southern Indian River County, east of Interstate 95, south of Oslo Road, and west of Rangeline Road in Vero Beach, Florida. The SWDD administers the management and operation of the Class I landfill at the IRCL facility. The Class I Landfill includes the closed Segment 1/Infill/Segment 2 vertical expansion, and Segment 3 lateral expansion (Segment 3). The total footprint area of Segment 3 is 76 acres and consist of eight cells that are being constructed in phases as needed. Segment 3, Cell 1, directly east of and on top of the east slope of Segment 2, was constructed in 2013. Segment 3, Cell 2 was constructed in 2020. Republic Services of Florida LP (Republic), the operator of the Class I Landfill, has estimated that filling of Cell 2 will be nearly completed by the end of Calendar Year (CY) 2023 and has therefore recommended that SWDD considers construction of Cell 3 during CY 2023. In order to expedite Cell 3 construction, SWDD would like to implement it in two phases, as follows: • Phase 1: Site preparation activities consisting primarily of the earthwork for construction of the subgrade for Cell 3; the fill material will be obtained from off-site borrow sources with the actual placement and compaction to be performed by a contractor through the procurement process. • Phase 2: Construction of the Cell 3 liner and leachate control systems to be performed by a contractor selected through a separate procurement process. On 22 September 2023 SWDD authorized Work Order 18 to Geosyntec to provide engineering and construction support services related to Phase 1 Site preparation activities for Cell 3 liner construction. The scope of services included preparation of construction documents, contractor procurement support services, and construction -phase support services. ccccc This proposal addresses the additional engineering design and construction support services required to complete Phase 1 of the Project, including additional engineering design services requested by SWDD, additional construction support services including additional geotechnical testing required to substantially complete construction by the contractor. In addition, SWDD requested that Geosyntec prepare a minor modification permit application to include leachate toe drains in Cells 3 and 4 for submittal to FDEP prior to Phase 2 construction.

E. 14 November 2023 Page 3 PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK In additional to the original project scope of work this proposal presents the need for additional scope including, additional geotechnical testing, preparation of additional construction drawings, extended construction support services, and preparation of minor modification permit application. For budgeting purposes, the additional scope of work is divided into the following four phases: • Phase 1 — General Consulting/Meeting Support/Project Management; • Phase 2 — Preparation of Additional Construction Drawings; • Phase 3 — Extended Construction -Phase Support Services; and • Phase 4 — Minor Modification Permit Application. Phase 1— General Consulting/Meeting Support/Project Management Under this phase, Geosyntec will perform project management responsibilities, such as correspondence with SWDD and FDEP, review of subcontractors' invoices, project coordination, and administration including monthly invoicing. Phase 2 — Preparation of Additional Construction Documents This phase includes the additional effort made to re -align the perimeter road on the eastern edge of Cell 4 as directed by Ronnie Jones of IRC SWDD. Additional Construction Drawings were prepared utilizing the Segment 3 Expansion Permit Drawings prepared by Geosyntec in March 2010 and revised in November 2015. Construction control points were provided for construction. Phase 4 — Extended Construction -Phase Support Services The originally approved Work Order assumed engineering support services for a 2 to 3 month construction duration. As of October 31St, 2023, the Project has surpassed the 3 month projection based on the contractor's schedule. The additional support projected to finish this project will include an additional month of contracting services based on the contractors' current schedule estimation. Therefore, Geosyntec will provide construction and engineering support services for an additional month. This includes preparation and participation in weekly construction progress meetings, preparation meeting minutes, and review of contractor's submittals including payment application requests. In addition, as part of this phase, a proposal provided by AACE for the additional work required to complete the Project is included as Attachment A. Geosyntec will also continue to review all FL9363-01/ J1,23067 Scemem 3 Cell 3 Site Praoaradon Ama:nilmcm I doc vtyineeis I scientists I innovators Mr. Himanshu Mehta, P.

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 AACIi'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 indemnify 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 AACE 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 RACE. Client further agrees that these general conditions are a part of the W'ork's specifications or bid documents, if any. 8 - Sampling or Testing Location: Unless specifically stated to the contrary, the fees included 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 information 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 and/or 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 completion of test unless required in writing by the Client to store or otherwise handle the samples. (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 ("1 Iazardous Substances" and "Hazardous Constituents", respectively), AACE will, after completion of testing and at Client's expense: (I) return such samples to Client; (il) 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. 10 - Discovery of Unanticipated Hazardous Materials: Hazardous materials or certain types of hazardous materials may exist at a site where there is no reason to believe they could or should be present. AACE and (Client agree that the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials constitutes a changed condition mandating a renegotiation of the scope of work or termination of services. AACE and Client also agree that the discovery of unanticipated 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. Client encourages AACE to take any and all measures that, in AACE's professional opinion, are 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, 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 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. Il -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 the parties may be made to provide compensation for as much as 1lH % of the damages assessed. 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. 13 - Force Majeure: AACE 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, flood, explosion, war, strike, embargo, government requirement, civil or military authority, acts of God, act or omission of subcontractors, carriers, client or other similar causes beyond its control.
