SUBJECT:    Algae Oil Pilot System Project Milestone Breakdown and Proposal for


                        Phase 1 Services







Dear Dr. Khanna:


 


Tetra Tech EC, Inc. (TtEC) appreciates the opportunity to submit this Project Milestone Breakdown and a Proposal for Phase 1 Services for BARD LLC's (BARD) Algae Oil Pilot System. TtEC is very pleased to be considered a part of BARD's team for this project.







Pursuant to your request, this document serves two purposes. The first is that TtEC has provided a suggested Phased approach for the design and setup of the Algae Oil Pilot System. As you will see, TtEC has provided descriptions of work that we believe to be appropriate for each Phase and an approximate cost and schedule associated with those Phases.







The second purpose for this document is to present our Proposal to execute Phase 1 (Project Start-up) of BARD's Algae Oil Pilot System. The discussion provided below presents the tasks we will perform as part of Phase 1 and our firm fixed price and schedule for performing this work. If acceptable, TtEC asks that BARD signs the authorization to proceed found as Attachment A to this document and TtEC's Terms and Conditions provided as Attachment B of this document.







In summary, this Proposal provides a detailed Scope of Work, Schedule, and Cost for Phase 1 of the project and a more general discussion on anticipated future Phases needed to complete the project.


 


Proposed Overall Project Approach


 


The recommended overall approach to the project envisions one contractor being responsible for the engineering/design, equipment procurement, and installation/setup related to the pilot system including civil site work, electrical, and balance of plant and process equipment. The project would be completed in five primary Phases: 1) Project Start-Up; 2) Preliminary Design; 3) Pre-Final Design; 4) Final Design; and 5) System Setup/Installation and Start-Up Phase.







As the design and functionality of the project is evolving, TtEC believes it is in BARD's best interests to perform the work required to design and setup the pilot process system on a fixed price basis per discrete Phase of work. This will help control costs because it will result in more definitive estimates of the remaining project Phases. It will also provide BARD and its investors

o TtEC will match the Mass Balance to the Process Flow Diagram


 


•  Summary of work completed during Phase 1







TtEC budgets $30,000 for this Phase and will execute the work in 20 business days from Notice to Proceed.







 


Phase 1 - Project Start-Up.....................................................................................................................$30,000 (firm fixed price)







Shown below is the general outline of the tasks that are recommended to be performed in the subsequent Phases to complete design and set-up of the Algae Oil Pilot System. The descriptions of these Phases will be expanded upon in greater detail as each prior Phase of the project is completed.







Phase 2 - Preliminary Design







Following the successful completion of Phase 1 of this project and with BARD's concurrence of the Scope of Phase 2, TtEC anticipates the following activities:


 


• Receive comments from BARD and finalize Process Flow Diagrams


• Receive comments from BARD and finalize Mass Balance


• Develop Preliminary (approximately 60%) Design


 


The Preliminary Design would be developed by TtEC in connection with BARD and the applicable significant equipment suppliers and will follow the strict guidelines and procedures established by TtEC for the preparation of its design projects. The Preliminary Design will consist of the following components:







Design Criteria Document: This document outlines the design inputs, codes, standards and other such related basis needed for a successful design package. The DCD developed in Phase 1 will be developed further in Phase 2 to include civil, structural, electrical and other such disciplines.







Calculations: Calculations will be prepared for major components and piping based on drawings.

Drawings: TtEC will produce design drawings for the Pilot System. During the project, a complete design package will be prepared to allow development of a system installation. The drawings will include, as necessary, civil, structural, electrical, mechanical, process and architectural disciplines.


 


Control Strategy: TtEC will work with BARD to determine the level of instrumentation and control strategy necessary to be used for the Pilot System. This will include data acquisition and collection requirements, level of automation and anticipated manpower requirements to operate the facility. Following this, an appropriate pilot system Control Strategy and Equipment List will be developed. It should be noted that the goal of the pilot system is to obtain sufficient data for BARD to make a determination on the viability of a full-scale process facility. As such, the control strategy for the pilot system will be developed to gather this type of data, and will not be the type of system that would be designed for a full-scale process facility.


 


• Identification of required permits and completion of permit applications if necessary.







At the end of Phase 2, TtEC will submit its Preliminary Design Package (updated DCD, Drawings, and Specifications) to BARD for review. TtEC will also submit an outline for Phase 3 with associated estimated schedule and cost.







Phase 3 - Pre-Final Design







Following the successful completion of Phase 2 of this project and with BARD's concurrence of the Scope of Phase 3, TtEC anticipates the following activities:


 


• Receive comments from BARD


 


• Develop Pre-Final Design (90%)







During this Phase, the design will be advanced from 60% to 90% and most outstanding issues will be resolved.







Phase 4 - Final Design







Following submission of the Pre-Final Design, TtEC will meet with BARD for a review meeting. Based on the comments provided by BARD on the Pre-Final Design, TtEC will prepare a Final Design and provide pricing for the Pilot System set-up/installation. This cost package would identify the major system components and major completion milestones that relate to the project schedule and anticipated level of quality for the facility.







Upon BARD's approval of the final design and the price for system installation and setup, it is expected for BARD to issue a Notice to Proceed for System Set-up/Installation and Startup Phase of the Project.







Following approval of the Final Design, TtEC will prepare Request for Proposals/Quotations that include Vendor Statements of Work and Price Forms. These Bid Packages will be released to the identified potential suppliers of equipment and installation services for this project.

Phase 5 - System Setup/Installation and Start-Up Phase







It is assumed that TtEC would provide services for the setup and installation of the pilot system. TtEC will be on-site and oversee all aspects of installation including, but not limited to, coordination of subcontractor activities, interaction with local government representatives (as necessary), start-up operation and equipment checkout.







MILESTONE BREAKDOWN PRICING AND SCHEDULE (Phases 2 through 5)







Tetra Tech estimates that the engineering Phases of this project (Phases 2 to 4) will cost between $75,000 and $125,000 and take between 8 and 12 weeks to complete. Tetra Tech anticipates that Phase 5 of this project will cost between $150,000 and $250,000 including equipment purchases and take between 12 and 16 weeks to complete. The cost and schedule estimates are based on our experience with similar projects and are meant to be a guide or reference to the scale of the effort required to perform the requisite services.







In summary, TtEC has extensive experience in the design engineering process, procurement of equipment and materials, and system installation; and has well-documented procedures to ensure that the engineering, procurement and installation of a pilot system is accurate, compliant and complete. This is an essential philosophy when designing, installing, operating and maintaining a safe and productive system, while minimizing risks and liabilities to TtEC and our clients. TtEC looks forward to further discussing the partnership between TtEC and BARD for engineering, procurement and installation of your Pilot System as well as any other projects which BARD would like TtEC to provide assistance.

(a) In the event that TtEC's negligence is found, by final judicial determination, to have caused a Hazardous Substance Claim as defined below, TtEC shall reimburse Client for its costs and liabilities incurred under this Article 7, to the extent caused by TtEC, in an amount not to exceed that specified in Article 8 below; (b) "Hazardous Substance Claim" shall mean any and all claims, losses, costs, expenses, judgments, damages, and liabilities of any form or nature including but not limited to any for personal or emotional injury, death or damage to property arising out of or in connection with any actual, threatened or feared release, discharge or exposure to any toxic or hazardous waste, substance, material, or vapor, including without limitation, PCB's, petroleum, hydrocarbons, asbestos, mixed, radioactive or nuclear wastes and any other substance designated as hazardous or toxic under CERCLA, TSCA, RCRA or other statute or regulation ("Hazardous Substances"); (c) Except as provided in a. above and to the fullest extent provided in Article 9 below (i) Client shall indemnify and hold harmless TtEC, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives from and against any and all Hazardous Substance Claims; and (ii) Client shall defend any claim, action, or proceeding which may be brought against TtEC, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives ("Defendants") arising out of or in connection with any Hazardous Substance Claim and shall bear all fees and expenses of attorneys and costs any Defendant incurs in the defense thereof.


 


8. TtEC LIABILITY. Except for TtEC's duty to indemnify Client as provided in Article 5 above, TtEC's total aggregate liability in connection with or arising out of the Contract or Services, including without limitation any under Articles 6 and 7 above, shall in no event exceed the total amount of compensation paid to TtEC hereunder up to a maximum amount of $250,000.


 


9. CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AND OTHER LIABILITIES. TtEC and its employees shall in no event be liable for any special, indirect or consequential damages, including specifically but without limitation, any based on loss of profits or revenue, loss of or interference, whether or not by third parties, with full or partial use of any equipment, facility or property, including real property, cost of replacement power, energy or product, delay in or failure to perform or to obtain permits or approvals, cost of capital, loss of goodwill, claims of customers, fines or penalties assessed against client or similar damages. These terms provide allocations of risk and reward consistent with the nature and extent of the Services and to that end include (i) protections against, and limitations on, liability of TtEC and (ii) specific remedies of Client which shall be its sole and exclusive remedies. The allocations, including without limitation those set forth above and under Articles 6, 7, 8 and 13, shall survive this contract and apply to the fullest extent allowed by law irrespective of whether liability of TtEC is claimed, or found, to be based in contract, tort or otherwise (including negligence, warranty, indemnity and strict liability) and Client hereby waives all rights of recovery and assumes all risks beyond those explicitly allocated to TtEC herein.


 


10. SITE CONTRACTORS. For the benefit of Client and TtEC, Client agrees that it will cause provisions acceptable to TtEC governing insurance and indemnity to be inserted in each of Client's agreements for remediation or other construction or site services or work related to the Services.


 


11. DELAYS. Neither party shall be considered in default in the performance of its obligations hereunder to the extent that the performance of such obligations is prevented or delayed by any cause which is beyond the reasonable control of the affected party, and the time for performance of either party hereunder shall in such event be extended for a period equal to any time lost as a result thereof, and an equitable adjustment shall be made to TtEC's compensation.


 


12. THIRD PARTY INTERESTS. This Contract and the Services and Work Product produced hereunder are solely for the benefit of Client and are not intended to be for the benefit, or to be construed as creating rights in favor, of any third party. If Client is not the ultimate beneficiary of the Services or TtEC's work product is used in such a way as to create or induce any reliance by any third party, Client represents and warrants (i) that it shall bind its clients and/or such third parties to limitations on and protections against liability "protective provisions" commensurate with those afforded TtEC hereunder and that such protective provisions will, in fact, inure to the benefit of TtEC, and/or (ii) that Client has the power to act on behalf of its clients and/or such third parties and does hereby bind such parties to these protective provisions.


 


13. CHANGES AND TERMINATION. This Contract shall not be modified except by written agreement signed by both parties. Client shall have the right to make changes within the general scope of Services upon execution of a mutually accepted change order. Client shall also have the right to terminate this Contract prior to completion of the Services, after reasonable notice to TtEC in writing, in which event Client shall pay TtEC all amounts due TtEC hereunder up to the effective date of termination, plus TtEC's reasonable costs incurred after such date in terminating the Services. In the event that Client alleges breach on behalf of TtEC, Client shall afford TtEC in 30 days written notice to cure any alleged deficiency prior to termination. Recognizing that termination prior to completion may involve risks and exposures both as to cost of work and third party claims, Client shall in such event indemnify, protect and defend TtEC from claims arising out of any incomplete aspect of the Services.
