difficulty, and that the above requirement that any Force Majeure shall be remedied with all reasonable

Re: Water Cost Reduction Initiative Proposal Valid For: 120 Days
Project Overview:
HydraMetrics proposes to bring an engineered solution to reduction of water consumption by
recommissioning the existing plumbing systems. We have conducted a thorough assessment of
each fixture to analyze their unique "fingerprint". The scope of work detailed in this proposal will
emphasize increasing the operational performance of the systems with the minimum water
required to create sustainable savings. Essentially, we make what you have work better! Our
Variable Flow Technology will tune each fixture to the right amount of water. The end result
of this system upgrade has many benefits including:
Increased consistency and performance of the systems
4. Reduction of maintenance costs and plumbing infrastructure upgrades
Significant reduction in water consumption
4. Sustainable savings that can be measured and verified
4. Project implementation processes that reduce your risk and liability

conditions,unknown obstructions,impediments,and/or quality of customers water-piping system,we will
provide you(customer)with written notice of said conditions and such notice shall include a detailed price
proposal for performing any extra work required. For example,HydraMetrics excludes repair of pre-existing
water-damaged floors,walls and ceilings. Further,HydraMetrics' excludes repair or replacement of pre-
existing cracked,loose,or missing floor and wall tiles.
➢ Measurement and Verification. Will be provided at the additional cost shown,if selected by the Customer.
➢ Control Stops and Shut-Off Valves. HydraMetrics requires working flushometer control stops and shutoff
valves at the time of implementation. Customer is responsible for ensuring control stop operation prior to
installation commencement. Further, HydraMetrics is not responsible for pre-existing conditions and is
therefore not responsible for drips or non-function that results from normal exercise(open/close)of the control
stops or shut-off valves. The Scope of Work hereunder entails removal and/or replacement of non-functioning
controls stops(flushometers)or shut-off valves(tank toilets and sinks)as shown in"Retrofit Quantities"in this
scope. Yet, as an option, we respectfully offer the below-referenced pricing. In all situations, Customer is
responsible for shutting off building water as needed.
➢ Non-Compatible Valves. HydraMetrics excludes work relating to non-compatible valve assemblies.
➢ Sink Faucets and hls. HydraMetrics will replace aerators on sink faucets that will accommodate
aerators. HydraMetrics excludes work relating to sink faucets,faucet valves,and other faucet peripherals unless
identified in"Retrofit Quantities". Further,HydraMetrics excludes aerator replacement on faucets where the
condition does not accommodate replacement(e.g.threads are worn,aerators is seized and cannot be removed).
Further,HydraMetrics is not responsible for pre-existing conditions and is therefore not responsible for non-
function of a faucet that results from normal aerator removal and/or installation.
➢ Shower Peripherals. HydraMetrics will replace compatible showerheads as identified in"Retrofit
Quantities". HydraMetrics excludes work relating to shower valves,diverters,and other shower peripherals
(e.g.handheld shower hoses,sliders,holders,etc.).
➢ Cast iron Flanges. Because we consider replacement of cast iron flanges(with new cast iron flanges)to be a
major flange repair,HydraMetrics excludes cast-iron flange repair/replacement.
➢
Wall Carriers. HydraMetrics excludes carriers for wall-hung toilets.
