All disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement, the conduct of either party in connection with this Agreement, and the relationship and rights of the parties in connection with this Agreement, whether characterized as breach of contract, tort, or otherwise (except for those requesting injunctive relief) shall be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Section, The submittal of all matters to arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Section is the sole and exclusive method, means and procedure to resolve any and all claims, disputes or disagreements arising under this Agreement, except for claims by either party which seek injunctive relief, which claims shall be resolved by suit filed in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California, the decision of which court shall be subject to appeal pursuant to applicable law. The parties hereby irrevocably waive any and all rights to the contrary and shall at all times conduct themselves in accordance with the terms of this Section, relying on arbitration as the sole means of resolution of disputes. Arbitration of all matters required to be arbitrated hereunder shall take place before a panel of three retired judges of the Superior Court of the State of California (the "Arbitrators") under the auspices of Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. ("JAMS"). Such arbitration shall be initiated by the parties, or either of them, within ten (10) calendar days after either party sends notice of a demand to arbitrate (the "Arbitration Notice") to the other party and to JAMS. The Arbitration Notice shall contain a description of the subject matter of the arbitration, the dispute with respect thereto, the amount involved, if any, and the remedy or determination sought. Each party shall select a retired judge from the JAMS panel, and the two selected judges shall mutually agree on the third retired judge from the JAMS panel. If one of the parties does not select a retired judge from the JAMS panel within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of the Arbitration Notice, JAMS will select the second judge, and the judge selected by JAMS and the judge selected by the other party will select the third judge for the panel. The third judge is to be selected within ten (10) calendar days following the selection of the first two judges. The three judges will together serve as the Arbitrators. The arbitration shall be conducted in Los Angeles, California. Any party may be represented by counsel and/or other authorized representative. In rendering a 16 decision(s), the Arbitrators shall determine the rights and obligations of the parties according to the substantive and procedural laws of the State of C8tIIorrM and the terms of this Agreement. The decision of the Arbitrators shall be based on the evidence introduced at the hearing and accompanied by a written statement of decision as to each of the principal controverted issues. The agreement of two of the three Arbitrators as to the resolution of the dispute shal be a conclusive resolution. The Arbitrators shall deliver the written decision to the parties within thirty (30) calendar days following the date of the selection of the last of the Arbitrators. The decision shall be conclusive and binding, and it may thereafter be confirmed as a judgment by the Superior Court of the State of California, subject only to challenge on the grounds set forth in the California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1286.2. The validity and enforceability of the decision of the Arbitrators is to be determined exclusively by the California courts. Attorney's Fees 7.06. In the event a dispute, claim or litigation arises regarding this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable attorneys' fees and actual costs, which may be set by the arbitrators or the court in the same action or in a separate action brought for that purpose, in addition to any other relief which is obtained. 7.07. Neither party shall be considered in default in any of its obligations under this Agreement when a failure of performance shall be due to an uncontrollable force, The term "uncontrollable force" shall mean any cause beyond the control of the party affected, including, but not restricted to, flood, earthquake, storm, fire, lightning, epidemic, war, riot, civil disturbance or disobedience, federal, state, or municipal action, statute, ordinance, or regulation, embargoes of the United States Government or any other government, which by exercise of due diligence such party could not reasonably have been expected to avoid and by exercise of due diligence has been unable to overcome.

Ft. of pipe with a label every 30 at a cost of $20.00 per label is $6,666.00. Total estimated cost for pipe label application is $11,306.00. Unit price will be used, should Techno Coatings go over in time, or deduction for under cost. Structural steel and piping touch up allowance is 240 MH including equipment or $20,945.00. Again, if we run under, we will reduce the cost or over increase. However, we feel we have allowed more than enough for this work. Exclude all bare piping and valves that exceeds 450 degrees in Temp. Techno Coatings will spray paint through personal protection and grating. Exclude all valves coming out of insulated pipe. A six man crew should finish coat the HRSG unit in 3 weeks. STATION A - (Old Vernon Diesel Plant) As you are aware, the old Vernon Diesel Plant is anyone's guess as to how much of the old existing paint can be removed off of this building without damaging the building beyond compare. Techno Coatings with over 31 years experience and myself with over 40 years of experience in this type of work has a pretty good guess. I know what was put on this building in the late 1970's. The product was called Dum-Dum and it was not meant to be taken off after it applied. It was a fix-all cover up of all crack and any other bad defects that may exist. However, as you can see it has become dry, brittle, old and is peeling; not a forever fix as originally sold. It is a thick product and will be very hard to remove where the Dum-Dum is still tight to the existing substrate. With this in mind, I have provided 3 alternate Bids that have different approaches to solve the coating problem of the Vernon Diesel Building. I. System 1 - Hand scrape and Roto Hydro Blast with 4500 PSI all the loose and deteriorated paint to a tight sound surface. Note: Major amounts of the old existing paint will be left. These areas will be feathered back to existing swfaces. We will then prime all surfaces and apply a heavy textured coating to blend in the deficit areas as best as possible. With this system, from some distance, it will look uniform. However, up close you will see the areas that have been removed &ct:bthered back to the existing swfaces. 11l9r.MJIJIJ 1 ..... . .. << .. , PageJ,3 of 4 TOTAL SYSTEM 1: $239,919.00 (,- PROJECT LABOR GROUP, INC. November I, 2005 Page three of three 2. System 2 - Same as System 1 but we will fill the deficit areas with a textured filler coat prior to coating over all areas with a heavy textured coating. This system wiJI allow all surfaces to be more uniform and consistent in thickness. It will be hard to see where the old coating was versus the new. Only the trained eye will be able to see the difference. However, you will never cover all the old defects. TOTAL SYSTEM 2: $332,127.00 3. System 3 - This system is per the written specifications. We want to note that this system will look good from a distance only. If you get up close to the defects, they wiJI be very apparent on all the existing buildings except the lower front building that will be performed more in the line of our System 2. System 3 is a combination of our System I and 2. I) Provide an alternate pricing for complete finishing of south face of Station A, from ground level to parapet wall (low roof). $68,750.00 2) Remainder of Station A Building as specified and explained above TOTAL SYSTEM 3: $209,979.00 $278,729.00 Please Note: We have based our quotation on working regular hours 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Terms are progress billings Net 30-days. 100.10 on Mobilization. The three systems specified can work and will make the building look good in three different ways for the amount of money you have budgeted. There are other alternate systems that we can come up with that are less expensive or can cost much more, it is all ajudgment call. If you let Techno work with your architect, we can come up with a system that will work for all involved while meeting the given budget. We want to make it understood that we can or will split these two projects. The Malburg project is a clear cut project; however the A Plant or Old Vernon Diesel could go any way you want to put it together. We feel we are best adapted to both jobs however we need to have a sit down meeting with a clear understanding of what we are going to do on the A plan.

All disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement, the conduct of either party in connection with this Agreement, and the relationship and rights of the parties in connection with this Agreement, whether characterized as breach of contract, tort, or otherwise (except for those requesting injunctive relief) shall be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Section. The submittal of all matters to arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Section is the sole and exclusive method, means and procedure to resolve any and all claims, disputes or disagreements arising under this Agreement, except for claims by either party which seek injunctive relief, which claims shall be resolved by suit filed in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California, the decision of which court shall be subject to appeal pursuant to applicable law. The parties hereby irrevocably waive any and all rights to the contrary and shall at all times conduct themselves in accordance with the terms of this Section, relying on arbitration as the sole means of resolution of disputes. Arbitration of all matters required to be arbitrated hereunder shall take place before a panel of three retired judges of the Superior Court of the State of California (the "Arbitrators") under the auspices of Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc.

The agreement of two of the three Arbitrators as to the resolution of the dispute shall be a conclusive resolution. The Arbitrators shall deliver the written decision to the parties within thirty (30) calendar days following the date of the selection of the last of the Arbitrators. The decision shall be conclusive and binding, and it may thereafter be confirmed as a judgment by the Superior Court of the State of California, subject only to challenge on the grounds set forth in the California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1286.2. The validity and enforceability of the decision of.the Arbitrators is to be determined exclusively by the California courts. Attorney's Fees 7.06. In the event a dispute, claim or litigation arises regarding this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable attorneys' fees and actual costs, which may be set by the arbitrators or the court in the same action or in a separate action brought for that purpose, in addition to any other relief which is obtained. 7.07. Neither party shall be considered in default in any of its obligations under this Agreement when a failure of performance shall be due to an uncontrollable force. The term "uncontrollable force" shall mean any cause beyond the control of the party affected, including, but not restricted to, flood, earthquake, storm, fire, lightning, epidemic, war, riot, civil disturbance or disobedience, federal, state, or municipal action, statute, ordinance, or regulation, embargoes of the United States Government or any other government, which by exercise of due diligence such party could not reasonably have been expected to avoid and by exercise of due diligence has been unable to overcome.

Again, if we run under, we will reduce the cost or over increase. However, we feel we have allowed more than enough for this work. (- ", Exclude all bare piping and valves that exceeds 450 degrees in Temp. Techno Coatings will spray paint through personal protection and grating. Exclude all valves coming out of insulated pipe. A six man crew should finish coat the HRSG unit in 3 weeks. STATION A - (Old Vernon Diesel Plant) As you are aware, the old Vernon Diesel Plant is anyone's guess as to how much of the old existing paint can be removed off of this building without damaging the building beyond compare. Techno Coatings with over 31 years experience and myself with over 40 years of experience in this type of work has a pretty good guess. I know what was put on this building in the late 1970's. The product was called Dum-Dum and it was not meant to be taken off after it applied. It was a fix-all cover up of all crack and any other bad defects that may exist. However, as you can see it has become dry, brittle, old and is peeling; not a forever fix as originally sold. It is a thick product and will be very hard to remove where the Dum-Dum is still tight to the existing substrate. With this in mind, I have provided 3 alternate Bids that have different approaches to solve the coating problem of the Vernon Diesel Building. 1. System 1 - Hand scrape and Roto Hydro Blast with 4500 PSI all the loose and deteriorated paint to a tight sound surface. Note: Major amounts of the old existing paint will be left. These areas will be feathered back to existing sutfaces. We will then prime all surfaces and apply a heavy textured coating to blend in the deficit areas as best as possible. With this system, from some distance, it will look unifonn. However, up close you will see the areas that have been removed aIMlfeathered back to the existing surfaces. 111912000 . Page 3 of4 TOTAL SYSTEM 1: $239,919.00 ( PROJECT LABOR GROUP, INC. November 1, 2005 Page three of three 2. System 2 - Same as System 1 but we will fill the deficit areas with a textured filler coat prior to coating over all areas with a heavy textured coating. This system will allow all surfaces to be more uniform and consistent in thickness. It will be hard to see where the old coating was versus the new. Only the trained eye will be able to see the difference. However, you will never cover all the old defects. TOTAL SYSTEM 2: $332,127.00 ( 3. System 3 - This system is per the written specifications. We want to note that this system will look good from a distance only. If you get up close to the defects, they will be very apparent on all the existing buildings except the lower front building that will be performed more in the line of our System 2. System 3 is a combination of our System 1 and 2. 1) Provide an alternate pricing for complete finishing of south face of Station A, from ground level to parapet wall Qow roof). $68,750.00 2) Remainder of Station A Building as specified and explained above TOTAL SYSTEM 3: $209,979.00 $278,729.00 Please Note: We have based our quotation on working regular hours 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The three systems specified can work and will make the building look good in three different ways for the amount of money you have budgeted. There are other alternate systems that we can come up with that are less expensive or can cost much more, it is all ajudgment call. If you let Techno work with your architect, we can come up with a system that will work for all involved while meeting the given budget. We want to make it understood that we can or will split these two projects. The Malburg project is a clear cut project; however the A Plant or Old Vernon Diesel could go any way you want to put it together. We feel we are best adapted to both jobs however we need to have a sit down meeting with a clear understanding of what we are going to do on the A plan. Thank you for the opportunity of submitting this proposal and we look forward to working with you in the near future. Should you have any questions, I can be reached at 714/635-1130.
