Based on the above project understanding Gale will provide engineering services for engineering, design, bid, and construction phase services, asfollows: Phase 'Bmdkvmound Evaluation and Schematic Design ° Attend a "start-up" meeting with North Andover to finalize the project goals, design criteria, and milestone schedule. Prepare the meeting agenda and issue related meeting minutes. ° Perform property line and topographic survey of the existing conditions,extending twenty(20) feet beyond the project limits: 0 Prepare a plan depicting one (1)-foot contours and applicable spot grades, as well as existing site features. SINCE 1964 Ms. Laurie Burzlaff Athletic Field Improvements gl(jGALE McEvoy Field North Andover, MA May 22,2023 Page 2 • Field locate site utilities, including rim and invert elevations, based on record information and visible above-ground appurtenances. o Provide an existing conditions base plan in AutoCAD. • OPTIONAL: Due to the close vicinity of the proposed walkway around the entire site, a property boundary survey may be required,which would include a resultant plan stamped by a Professional Land Surveyor(PLS). Gale can provide this as an additional service should the Town determine a property survey is required based on their existing record documents for the parcel. • Observe field testing to gain a general understanding of the prevailing soil classifications, topsoil depth, infiltration rates, and groundwater elevations. o Coordinate the services of a contractor to excavate/open four(4)test pits. Contractor and equipment costs will be invoiced as reimbursable expenses. Alternatively, North Andover can provide a backhoe or excavator and operator to excavate the test pits, which will be paid for directly by North Andover. The estimated costs of these services are currently included in this proposal. • A Certified Soil Evaluator will complete the test pit logs. • At this time, it is assumed Gale will notify DigSafe, as required, prior to the test pit excavation. Gale will pre-mark for DigSafe. • Research available information on utility locations within the project limits. Utilities to be researched include water, storm drainage, electric, communications, and gas. Identify visible utility constraints and conflicts bearing on the proposed improvements. This utility evaluation will be based on available record plans provided by North Andover, above-ground appurtenances, and paint marking by DigSafe. • Using the existing conditions information compiled and the developmental program, Gale will prepare one (1) conceptual layout for the proposed improvements. Meet with North Andover on one (1) occasion to review the conceptual plan. Complete one (1) revision to the chosen layout, based on client direction, to produce the final preferred schematic layout with preliminary schematic level estimates of constructed cost. • The final schematic design submission will include layout, grading and drainage plans. Meet with North Andover to review the schematic plan submission. North Andover will provide approval of the schematic plans prior to proceeding with Engineering and Design. Phase 2-Engineering and Design • Prepare a site grading plan for the proposed construction.The grading plan will show proposed spot grades and contours and will consider cut and fills, as well as site accessibility.

Meet with North Andover to present and review design recommendations. Issue meeting minutes to confirm our understanding of North Andover's intent. Permitting No permitting for these improvements is anticipated at this time. Phase 3-Final Design Documents • Following the receipt of North Andover's comments from the Engineering and Design Phase and authorization to proceed, we will finalize the site design documents suitable for competitive bidding. Provide North Andover with a set of construction drawings stamped by a Registered Civil Engineer,as appropriate. • North Andover will provide the non-technical "front-end" contract requirements for the preparation of the contract documents or Gale will provide a standard AIA 201, General Conditions of a Construction Contract front end for North Andover's comment and review.

Phase 5-Construction Phase Services • Receive and review contractor's shop drawings and submittals for acceptance or rejection prior to project start-up. Rejected submittals will be returned to the contractor for resubmittal.

Gale representatives,including subconsultants retained by Gale, may visit the job site from time to time. These visits are for clarifications of specific design-related issues only and are not for the purposes of job site safety. It is the contractor's sole responsibility to comply with all site safety applicable requirements. • The correction of issues noted by Gale during this construction phase is the responsibility of the contractor, as is documentation of the correction.

Lists generated by Gale are not considered to be all-inclusive and represent only those issues actually observed and noted by Gale personnel while on-site. Gale has been tasked to observe specific construction elements only, and the absence of notations with respect to any other construction elements neither creates any liability on Gale's part,nor alters the contractor's responsibility to complete all work in accordance with the contract documents.
