Dear Sir or Madam:

This is in response to the amendment to your organizations Articles of Incorporation filed with the state on April
27, 2004. We have updated our records to reflect the name change as indicated above.

In April 1988 we issued a determination letter that recognized your organization as exempt from federal income
tax. Our records indicate that your organization is currently exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code.

Based on information subsequently submitted, we classified your organization as one that is not a private
foundation within the meaning of section 509( a) of the Code because it is an organization described in
sections 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi).

This classification was based on the assumption that your organization's operations would continue as stated
in the application. If your organization's sources of support, or its character, method of operations, or purposes
have changed, please let us know so we can consider the effect of the change on the exempt status and
foundation status of your organization.

Your organization is required to file Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, only if its
gross receipts each year are normally more than $25,000. If a return is required, it must be filed by the 15th
day of the fifth month after the end of the organization's annual accounting period. The law imposes a penalty
of $20 a day, up to a maximum of $10,000, when a return is filed late, unless there is reasonable cause for the
delay.

All exempt organizations (unless specifically excluded) are liable for taxes under the Federal Insurance
Contributions Act (social security taxes) on remuneration of $100 or more paid to each employee during a
calendar year. Your organization is not liable for the tax imposed under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act
(FUTA).

Organizations that are not private foundations are not subject to the excise taxes under Chapter 42 of the
Code. However, these organizations are not automatically exempt from other federal excise taxes.

Donors may deduct contributions to your organization as provided in section 170 of the Code. Bequests,
legacies, devises, transfers, or gifts to your organization or for its use are deductible for federal estate and gift
tax purposes if they meet the applicable provisions of sections 2055, 2106, and 2522 of the Code.
                                                       -2-


Criminal Justice Services Inc.
38-2755646


Your organization is not required to file federal income tax returns unless it is subject to the tax on unrelated
business income under section 511 of the Code. If your organization is subject to this tax, it must file an
income tax return on the Form 990-T, Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return. In this letter, we are
not determining whether any of your organization's present or proposed activities are unrelated trade or
business as defined in section 513 of the Code.

Section 6104 of the Internal Revenue Code requires you to make your organization's annual return available
for public inspection without charge for three years after the due date of the return. The law also requires
organizations that received recognition of exemption on July 15, 1987, or later, to make available for public
inspection a copy of the exemption application, any supporting documents and the exemption letter to any
individual who requests such documents in person or in writing. Organizations that received recognition of
exemption before July 15, 1987, and had a copy of their exemption application on July 15, 1987, are also
required to make available for public inspection a copy of the exemption application, any supporting documents
and the exemption letter to any individual who requests such documents in person or in writing.
For additional information on disclosure requirements, please refer to Internal Revenue Bulletin 1999 - 17.

Because this letter could help resolve any questions about your organization's exempt status and foundation
status, you should keep it with the organization's permanent records.

If you have any questions, please call us at the telephone number shown in the heading of this letter.

                                                    Sincerely,

To Cities and Townships Participating in the Upcoming Phase of Voting System Purchases:

As you are aware, the State of Michigan is in the process of implementing a statewide, uniform
optical scan voting system to comply with Public Act 91 of2002. The funds Michigan has
received under the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) will be used to pay for voting
equipment and related Election Management System (EMS) software. Your County Clerk
recently reported that your jurisdiction would be participating in the first purchase period of
2005. We expect to begin processing equipment orders later this month.

Before these orders can be placed, jurisdictions must enter into a Grant Agreement with the State
of Michigan. This grant establishes the roles and responsibilities of the state, counties, and local
jurisdictions and must be signed by every local govenunental unit that wishes to purchase new
equipment. In addition, each jurisdiction must identify a Grant Manager who will serve as its
single point of contact with the Department of State. This person can be the person authorized to
sign the grant, or another person who will be responsible for record-keeping and other
responsibilities with respect to the purchase of your new voting system. The Department of State
has also identified its own Grant Manager for you to work with.

The Grant Application lists the number of precinct count tabulators each jurisdiction will receive.
Each jurisdiction will receive one precinct count tabulator for each precinct. This number is
based on the precinct totals recently submitted to us by your County Clerk. If you believe that
the figure for your jurisdiction is incorrect, please contact this office at once. The Grant
Application also lists the number of additional tabulators (if any) each jurisdiction will receive
for use with Absentee Voter Counting Boards (AVCBs). This number is also based on the
number of precincts, number of registered voters, and other factors. We have also contacted
several cities and townships directly to determine their AVCB needs. We do not believe
additional AVCB tabulators are needed for jurisdictions with one or two precincts. If you
believe that the number of AVCB tabulators we have listed is inadequate for your city or
township because you have an unusually large number of absentee voters, please contact this
office at once.

To ensure the process for placing equipment orders moves as smoothly as possible, your prompt
cooperation and assistance are required. Attached is the Grant Application for your city or
township. No changes may be made to the text of the Grant Application. No changes may be
made to the number of approved new tabulators without prior approval from the State.

                      Special Assessment Payment Options

Property owners in the City of Muskegon who are being specially assessed for street, sidewalk or other public
improvements may pay their assessment in the following ways:
I. Lump Sum Pavment in Full
Assessments may be paid in full within sixty (60) days of the confirmation of the special assessment roll
without interest.

II. Installment Payments
Assessments not paid within the first sixty (60) days may be paid in installments over several years as follows:

        Street and Alley Assessments- Ten (1 0) years equal annual principal payments. For example, if the
        amount of your assessment is $850.00, you will be billed $85.00 per year plus applicable interest as
        described below.

        Driveway, Sidewalk, and Approach Assessments- Ten (1 0) years equal annual principal payments
        plus applicable interest as described below.

        Interest- Simple interest is charged at the rate of 5.00% per year unless the City has borrowed money
        to complete the project for which you are assessed and has pledged you assessments for repayment of
        the borrowed money. In such cases, the interest you are charged is equal to the interest rate the City
        must pay on the borrowed money plus 1.00%.

Ill. Special Assessment Deferral (Low Income Seniors and Disabled Persons)
To qualify for a special assessment deferral you or your spouse (if jointly owned) must:

    •   Be 65 years or older or be totally or permanently disabled.

    •   Have been a Michigan resident for five (5) years or more and have owned and occupied the homestead
        being assessed for five (5) years or more.

   •    Be a citizen of the U.S.

   •    Have a total household income not in excess of $16,823.00

   •    Have a special assessment of $300.00 or more.

Under this program the State of Michigan will pay the entire balance owing of the special assessment,
including delinquent, current, and further installments. At the time of payment a lien will be recorded on your
property in favor of the State of Michigan. Repayment to the State must be made at the time the property is
sold or transferred or after the death of the owner(s). During the time the special assessment is deferred
interest is accrued at the rate of 6.00% per year.

IV. Further Information About the Above Programs
Further information about any of the above payment options may be obtained by calling either the City
Assessor's Office at 724-6708 or the City Treasurer's Office at 724-6720. Applications may be obtained at
the Muskegon County Equalization Office in the Muskegon County building or City of Muskegon Assessor's
Office in City Hall.

V. Additional Special Assessment Payment Assistance
Qualified low and moderate income homeowners who are being assessed may be eligible for payment
assistance through the City of Muskegon Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. Assistance
from this program will be available to the extent that funds are available. To obtain further information and
determine whether you are eligible, contact the Community and Neighborhood Services Department at

           I.       PERFORMANCE. Consultant shall exercise due care in performing
                    professional design and other professional services, but Consultant makes no

          2.        ADDITIONAL SERVICES. Additional Services other than those rendered
                    pursuant to any additional provisions attached hereto, or any subsequent
                    modifications hereto, shall only be authorized by written amendment to this
                    Agreement signed on behalf of City and Consultant. All additional services shall

                    or other documents prepared by Consultant shall remain the property of
                    Consultant and not be delivered to City until all monies owed to Consultant by
                    City (whether or not such monies have then become due and payable) have been
                    paid. Consultant assumes no liability for the use of drawings and other
                    documents delivered to the City under this clause, unless otherwise specifically
                    agreed to in writing.

                    agree otherwise.

           7.       INSURANCE. Upon request, Consultant will furnish City a written description
                    of insurance coverages then being maintained by Consultant which may be related

                    regarding insurance shall be binding upon Consultant.

           8.       COST ESTIMATES. Since Consultant has no control over the cost oflabor and
                    materials or over competitive bidding and market conditions, any estimates of

                    Consultant's experience, by Consultant. Consultant does not warrant the accuracy
                    of such estimates as compared to contractor's bids or actual costs incurred.

          9.        SITE ACCESS AND SECURITY. Unless specifically expressed otherwise as
                    services to be undertaken by Consultant, City is solely responsible for all aspects
                    of site security and for obtaining any necessary permission from any affected third
                    party property owners for use of their lands. Client shall obtain signed

                    to underground structures or utilities.

          11.       WAIVER. No waiver, discharge, or renunciation of any claim or right of
                    Consultant arising out of breach of this Agreement by City shall be effective
                    unless in writing signed by Consultant and supported by separate consideration.

          12.      GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in
                   Muskegon County, Michigan, and shall be governed by, and construed in
                   accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan.

          13.      SHOP DRAWINGS. If shop drawing review is provided under this Agreement,
                   Consultant will check and review samples, catalog data, schedules, shop
                   drawings, laboratory, shop and mill tests of materials and equipment, and all other
                   data which the Contractor is required to submit, only for conformance with the
                   design concept of the Project and compliance with the information given by the
                   construction Contract Documents.

          14.      CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES. Unless specifically authorized to
                   provide construction inspection or construction management services, Consultant
                   assumes no liability with regard to the compliance of construction to Contract
                   Documents prepared by Consultant.

           15.      FEDERAL/LOCAL RIGHT-TO-KNOW COMPLIANCE. In compliance
                    with the Federal Hazard Communication Standards and applicable local laws or
                    ordinances, City shall provide Consultant with a list of hazardous substances in
                    the work place to which Consultant's employees or subcontractors may be
                    exposed to while executing this Agreement to the extent that City is aware of
                    such.

                                          ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
                                         ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES


          I.        STANDARD CARE, WARRANTY, AND OWNERSHIP. Services performed
                    by Consultant under this Agreement shall be conducted in a manner consistent
                    with the level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the profession
                    currently practicing under similar conditions. No other warranty expressed or
                    implied is made. Nothing implied by this Agreement or Consultant's other
                    dealings with City shall be interpreted or construed to make Consultant the owner
                    or generator of any waste, contamination, or contaminated product, land or
                    buildings related to the subject matter of this Agreement. Client shall retain
                    ownership and all responsibility for all contaminants and wastes.

          2.        DISCOVERY OF UNANTICIPATED HAZARDOUS MATERIAL. The
                    discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials encountered during the execution
                    of any work as related to this Agreement shall constitute a changed condition and
                    a change in the Scope of Services and, therefore, a change in Consultant's
                    Compensation. Consultant will notify City as soon as practically possible and
                    agree to an adjustment in the Agreement pursuant to paragraph 2 of the Terms and
                    Conditions.

          3.       USE OF CITY'S DATA. Consultant prefers to generate and interpret all data
                   used for design or any other consulting purposes. However, if City furnishes data
                   to Consultant for use in performing services provided by Consultant, Consultant
                   will furnish no warranties, either implied or expressed, as to the accuracy of such
                   data or its completeness for its intended use. City retains all responsibility for the
                   quality of any and all data furnished to Consultant which has been generated by
                   anyone other than Consultant.

         4.        TECHNICAL APPROACH. All work is performed with City's acceptance that
                   field and design techniques are evolving and the standards and regulations are
                   subject to rapid change such that selected acceptable, effective design approaches
                   may become superseded by the time of execution. Such change will constitute a
                   changed condition requiring an adjustment in the Scope of Services and in
                   Consultant's compensation.

         5.        CITY'S RESPONSIBILITY TO NOTIFY CONSULTANT. City hereby
                   warrants that if he knows or has any reason to assume or suspect that hazardous
                   materials may exist at the project site, he has so informed Consultant.

         6.        DATA COLLECTION. If City specifies sampling, testing, boring, or well
                   locations, Consultant reserves the right to deviate a reasonable distance from the
                   location specified. If the site conditions prevent the performance of the work at or
                   near the designated locations and these site conditions were not previously made



R:\REMD\City ofMuskcgon\SAF 2005 Grant\Muskegon Brownfield Contract 02-07-0S.doc
                    known to Consultant, the parties shall attempt to designate alternative locations
                    which may constitute a change in the Scope of Services and therefore may require
                    an adjustment in Consultant's compensation.

                                           ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
                                      ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS


           I.       SCOPE OF SERVICES. These additional provisions shall apply to Scope of
                    Services referred to separately or collectively as: Phase I Site Assessment, Phase
                    II Site Assessment, Environmental Inspections, or Environmental Audit.

          2.        RIGHT OF ENTRY AND USE OF LAND. City hereby permits employees,
                    agents, representatives, and subcontractors of Consultant's to enter, use and move
                    freely about the Project site to perform their work. Consultant will take all
                    reasonable precautions to minimize any damage to the property. City understands
                    and accepts that the work involved may result in some disturbance of the surface
                    and/or the subsurface of the property.

          3.        FAILURE TO ENCOUNTER HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. City
                    understands that failure to discover hazardous materials does not guarantee that
                    hazardous materials do not exist at the project site and that a non-contaminated
                    site may later become contaminated. Therefore, although Consultant will use all
                    reasonable care and a level of skill ordinarily exercised by members of the
                    profession currently practicing under similar conditions, City agrees that
                    Consultant shall not be responsible for failure to detect the presence of hazardous
                    materials through techniques and practices commonly used for the purpose unless
                    such failure is caused by the sole negligence of Consultant.

          4.       STATE OF THE ART. City understands and accepts that field techniques and
                   analytical capabilities are evolving and that the standards and regulations are
                   subject to rapid change such that currently acceptable investigative approaches
                   and techniques may become superseded by the time of execution. Such change
                   will constitute a changed condition requiring adjustment in Scope of Services and
                   Consultant's Compensation.

          5.       SAMPLING LOCATIONS. If City specifies a sampling or boring location,
                   Consultant reserves the right to deviate a reasonable distance from the location
                   specified. If the site conditions prevent sampling or drilling at or near the
                   designated locations and these conditions were unknown to Consultant, the parties
                   shall attempt to designate alternate locations which may constitute a change in the
                   Scope of Services and Consultant's Compensation.

         6.        ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT REPORTS. The intent of this
                   assignment is detailed in the Scope of Services and all aspects of that work will be
                   addressed in the report. City understands that:

                             a. Consultant will give no opinion regarding the retention of existing
                                permits or procurement of new permits.



R:\REMD\City ofMuskegon\SAF 2005 Grant\Muskegon Brownfield Contract 02-07-05.doc
                              b. Consultant will make no representations or warranties regarding the
                                 market value of any property or its use for a particular purpose.

                              c. Consultant will make no representations or warranties regarding the
                                 actual costs which may be associated with any environmental
                                 remediation at this site. Any opinions presented with regard to
                                 possible remediation are estimates only, and the actual costs may be
                                 substantially different.

                              d. No report constitutes legal advice, nor does Consultant purport to give
                                 legal advice.

                              e. Certain information contained in any report may be provided by
                                 agencies and/or personal interviews. Consultant will make no
                                 representations or warranties that such information is accurate or that
                                 any independent investigation, beyond the agreed upon Scope of
                                 Services, has been or will be made to verify the accuracy of such
                                 information.

        The following terms and conditions shall be a part of Westshore Consulting's
("Consultant") contractual undertaking to perform professional services, and Consultant's
undertaking to perform such services and to enter into this Agreement is expressly conditioned
on CITY OF MUSKEGON's ("City") assent to such Terms and Conditions, nothwithstanding
any additional or conflicting Terms and Conditions of City, which are hereby expressly objected
to and rejected by Consultant. Where the City issues a purchase order to authorize Consultant's
undertaking to perform professional services, that undertaking will be governed by the Terms
and Conditions and Additional Provisions, if any, of this Agreement.

           I.        PERFORMANCE. Consultant shall exercise due care in performing
                     professional design and other professional services, but Consultant makes no
                     warranty, express or implied, with respect to any services performed hereunder.

          2.         ADDITIONAL SERVICES. Additional Services other than those rendered
                     pursuant to any additional provisions attached hereto, or any subsequent
                     modifications hereto, shall only be authorized by written amendment to this
                     Agreement signed on behalf of City and Consultant. All additional services shall
                     nevertheless be performed by Consultant subject to these Terms and Conditions.

          3.        SUBCONTRACTORS. Consultant may engage subcontractors on behalf of City
                    to perform a portion of the services to be provided by Consultant hereunder.

          4.        TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon 7
                    days prior written notice. In the event of termination, Consultant shall be paid up
                    to the effective date of termination for all services rendered by it, and all drawings
                    or other documents prepared by Consultant shall remain the property of
                    Consultant and not be delivered to City until all monies owed to Consultant by
                    City (whether or not such monies have then become due and payable) have been
                    paid. Consultant assumes no liability for the use of drawings and other
                    documents delivered to the City under this clause, unless otherwise specifically
                    agreed to in writing.
                                               '
          5.        PAYMENT. Consultant shall bid for services rendered and reimbursable costs
                    incurred on a monthly basis. Each invoice shall be due and payable within 15
                    days of the presentation of the invoice. Invoices over 30 days past due will be
                    charged monthly interest at the rate of 12% per annum on the unpaid balance or
                    the highest lawful rate, whichever is less. City hereby waives any defense of
                    usury with regard to said rate of interest. Consultant may, after 7 days written
                    notice to City, suspend performance of services until all past due amounts are
                    paid.

          6.        MEDIATION. In an effort to resolve any conflicts that arise during the design or

C:\windows\TEMP\Site Assessment. Professional Agt. 1.05 REVISED !.doc
                    Consultant agree that all disputes between them arising out of or relating to this
                    Agreement shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation unless the parties mutually
                    agree otherwise.

          7.        INSURANCE. Upon request, Consultant will furnish City a written description
                    of insurance coverages then being maintained by Consultant which may be related
                    to Consultant's performance of services hereunder. No oral representations
                    regarding insurance shall be binding upon Consultant.

          8.        COST ESTIMATES. Since Consultant has no control over the cost oflabor and
                    materials or over competitive bidding and market conditions, any estimates of
                    equipment, construction, or operating costs will be made on the basis of
                    Consultant's experience. Consultant does not warrant the accuracy of such
                    estimates as compared to contractor's bids or actual costs incurred.

          9.        SITE ACCESS AND SECURITY. Unless specifically expressed otherwise as
                    services to be undertaken by Consultant, City is solely responsible for all aspects
                    of site security and for obtaining any necessary permission from any affected third
                    party property owners for use of their lands. Client shall obtain signed
                    Authorization(s) for Entry and Use of Land as necessary for Consultant to
                    perform its Services.

          I 0.      UNDERGROUND STRUCTURES OR UTILITIES. In the performance of its
                    services, Consultant will take all reasonable care and precautions to avoid damage
                    to underground structures or utilities.

          II.       WAIVER. No waiver, discharge, or renunciation of any claim or right of
                    Consultant arising out of breach of this Agreement by City shall be effective
                    unless in writing signed by Consultant and supported by separate consideration.

          12.       GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in
                    Muskegon County, Michigan, and shall be governed by, and construed in
                    accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan.

          13.       SHOP DRAWINGS. If shop drawing review is provided under this Agreement,
                    Consultant will check and review samples, catalog data, schedules, shop
                    drawings, laboratory, shop and mill tests of materials and equipment, and all other
                    data which the Contractor is required to submit, only for conformance with the
                    design concept of the Project and compliance with the information given by the
                    construction Contract Documents.

          14.       CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES. Unless specifically authorized to
                    provide construction inspection or construction management services, Consultant
                    assumes no liability with regard to the compliance of construction to Contract
                    Documents prepared by Consultant.




C:\windows\TEMP\Site Asscssment.Professional Agt. 1.05 REVISEDI.doc
           15.       FEDERAL/LOCAL RIGHT-TO-KNOW COMPLIANCE. In compliance
                     with the Federal Hazard Communication Standards and applicable local laws or
                     ordinances, City shall provide Consultant with a list of hazardous substances in
                     the work place to which Consultant's employees or subcontractors may be
                     exposed to while executing this Agreement to the extent that City is aware of
                     such.

                                           ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
                                          ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES


           1.       STANDARD CARE, WARRANTY, AND OWNERSHIP. Services performed
                    by Consultant under this Agreement shall be conducted in a manner consistent
                    with the level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the profession
                    currently practicing under similar conditions. No other warranty expressed or
                    implied is made. Nothing implied by this Agreement or Consultant's other
                    dealings with City shall be interpreted or construed to make Consultant the owner
                    or generator of any waste, contamination, or contaminated product, land or
                    buildings related to the subject matter of this Agreement. Client shall retain
                    ownership and all responsibility for all contaminants and wastes.

          2.        DISCOVERY OF UNANTICIPATED HAZARDOUS MATERIAL. The
                    discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials encountered during the execution
                    of any work as related to this Agreement shall constitute a changed condition and
                    a change in the Scope of Services and, therefore, a change in Consultant's
                    Compensation. Consultant will notify City as soon as practically possible and
                    agree to an adjustment in the Agreement pursuant to paragraph 2 of the Terms and
                    Conditions.

          3.        USE OF CITY'S DATA. Consultant prefers to generate and interpret all data
                    used for design or any other consulting purposes. However, if City furnishes data
                    to Consultant for use in performing services provided by Consultant, Consultant
                    will furnish no warranties, either implied or expressed, as to the accuracy of such
                    data or its completeness for its intended use. City retains all responsibility for the
                    quality of any and all data furnished to Consultant which has been generated by
                    anyone other than Consultant.

          4.        TECHNICAL APPROACH. All work is performed with City's acceptance that
                    field and design techniques are evolving and the standards and regulations are
                    subject to rapid change such that selected acceptable, effective design approaches
                    may become superseded by the time of execution. Such change will constitute a
                    changed condition requiring an adjustment in the Scope of Services and in
                    Consultant's compensation.

          5.        CITY'S RESPONSIBILITY TO NOTIFY CONSULTANT. City hereby
                    warrants that if he knows or has any reason to assume or suspect that hazardous
                    materials may exist at the project site, he has so informed Consultant.

          6.        DATA COLLECTION. If City specifies sampling, testing, boring, or well
                    locations, Consultant reserves the right to deviate a reasonable distance from the
                    location specified. If the site conditions prevent the performance of the work at or
                    near the designated locations and these site conditions were not previously made



C:\windows\TEMP\Site Assessment Professional Agt. 1.05 REVISED !.doc
                     known to Consultant, the parties shall attempt to designate alternative locations
                     which may constitute a change in the Scope of Services and therefore may require
                     an adjustment in Consultant's compensation.

                                           ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
                                      ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS


           I.       SCOPE OF SERVICES. These additional provisions shall apply to Scope of
                    Services referred to separately or collectively as: Phase I Site Assessment, Phase
                    II Site Assessment, Environmental Inspections, or Environmental Audit.

          2.        RIGHT OF ENTRY AND USE OF LAND. City hereby permits employees,
                    agents, representatives, and subcontractors of Consultant's to enter, use and move
                    freely about the Project site to perform their work. Consultant will take all
                    reasonable precautions to minimize any damage to the property. City understands
                    and accepts that the work involved may result in some disturbance of the surface
                    and/or the subsurface of the property.

          3.        FAILURE TO ENCOUNTER HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. City
                    understands that failure to discover hazardous materials does not guarantee that
                    hazardous materials do not exist at the project site and that a non-contaminated
                    site may later become contaminated. Therefore, although Consultant will use all
                    reasonable care and a level of skill ordinarily exercised by members of the
                    profession currently practicing under similar conditions, City agrees that
                    Consultant shall not be responsible for failure to detect the presence of hazardous
                    materials through techniques and practices commonly used for the purpose unless
                    such failure is caused by the sole negligence of Consultant.

          4.        STATE OF THE ART. City understands and accepts that field techniques and
                    analytical capabilities are evolving and that the standards and regulations are
                    subject to rapid change such that currently acceptable investigative approaches
                    and techniques may become superseded by the time of execution. Such change
                    will constitute a changed condition requiring adjustment in Scope of Services and
                    Consultant's Compensation.

          5.       SAMPLING LOCATIONS. If City specifies a sampling or boring location,
                   Consultant reserves the right to deviate a reasonable distance from the location
                   specified. If the site conditions prevent sampling or drilling at or near the
                   designated locations and these conditions were unknown to Consultant, the parties
                   shall attempt to designate alternate locations which may constitute a change in the
                   Scope of Services and Consultant's Compensation.

          6.       ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT REPORTS. The intent of this
                   assignment is detailed in the Scope of Services and all aspects of that work will be
                   addressed in the report. City understands that:

                             a. Consultant will give no opinion regarding the retention of existing
                                permits or procurement of new permits.



C:\windows\TEMP\Site Assessment Professional Agt 1.05 REVISEDI.doc
                               b. Consultant will make no representations or warranties regarding the
                                  market value of any property or its use for a particular purpose.

                               c. Consultant will make no representations or warranties regarding the
                                  actual costs which may be associated with any environmental
                                  remediation at this site. Any opinions presented with regard to
                                  possible remediation are estimates only, and the actual costs may be
                                  substantially different.

                               d. No report constitutes legal advice, nor does Consultant purport to give
                                  legal advice.

                              e. Certain information contained in any report may be provided by
                                 agencies and/or personal interviews. Consultant will make no
                                 representations or warranties that such information is accurate or that
                                 any independent investigation, beyond the agreed upon Scope of
                                 Services, has been or will be made to verifY the accuracy of such
                                 information.

                                           TERMS AND CONDITIONS


        The following terms and conditions shall be a part of Environmental Resources
Management's ("Consultant") contractual undertaking to perform professional services, and
Consultant's undertaking to perform such services and to enter into this Agreement is expressly
conditioned on CITY OF MUSKEGON's ("City") assent to such Terms and Conditions,
nothwithstanding any additional or conflicting Terms and Conditions of City, which are hereby
expressly objected to and rejected by Consultant. Where the City issues a purchase order to
authorize Consultant's undertaking to perform professional services, that undertaking will be
governed by the Terms and Conditions and Additional Provisions, if any, of this Agreement.

          1.       PERFORMANCE. Consultant shall exercise due care in performing
                   professional design and other professional services, but Consultant makes no
                   warranty, express or implied, with respect to any services performed hereunder.

          2.       ADDITIONAL SERVICES. Additional Services other than those rendered
                   pursuant to any additional provisions attached hereto, or any subsequent
                   modifications hereto, shall only be authorized by written amendment to this
                   Agreement signed on behalf of City and Consultant. All additional services shall
                   nevertheless be performed by Consultant subject to these Terms and Conditions.

          3.       SUBCONTRACTORS. Consultant may engage subcontractors on behalf of City
                   to perform a portion of the services to be provided by Consultant hereunder.

          4.       TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon 7
                   days prior written notice. In the event of termination, Consultant shall be paid up
                   to the effective date of termination for all services rendered by it, and all drawings
                   or other documents prepared by Consultant shall remain the property of
                   Consultant and not be delivered to City until all monies owed to Consultant by
                   City (whether or not such monies have then become due and payable) have been
                   paid. Consultant assumes no liability for the use of drawings and other
                   documents delivered to the City under this clause, unless otherwise specifically
                   agreed to in writing.

          5.       PAYMENT. Consultant shall bill for services rendered and reimbursable costs
                   incurred on a monthly basis. Each invoice shall be due and payable within 15
                   days of the presentation of the invoice. Invoices over 30 days past due will be
                   charged monthly interest at the rate of 12% per annum on the unpaid balance or
                   the highest lawful rate, whichever is less. City hereby waives any defense of
                   usury with regard to said rate of interest. Consultant may, after 7 days written
                   notice to City, suspend performance of services until all past due amounts are
                   paid.

         6.        MEDIATION. In an effort to resolve any conflicts that arise during the design or
                   construction of the project or following the completion of the project, the City and



R:\REMD\City ofMuskegon\SAF 2005 Grant\Muskegon Brownfield Contract 02-07-0S.doc
                    Consultant agree that all disputes between them arising out of or relating to this
                    Agreement shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation unless the parties mutually
                    agree otherwise.

          7.        INSURANCE. Upon request, Consultant will furnish City a written description
                    of insurance coverages then being maintained by Consultant which may be related
                    to Consultant's performance of services hereunder. No oral representations
                    regarding insurance shall be binding upon Consultant.

          8.       COST ESTIMATES. Since Consultant has no control over the cost oflabor and
                   materials or over competitive bidding and market conditions, any estimates of
                   equipment, construction, or operating costs will be made on the basis of
                   Consultant's experience, by Consultant. Consultant does not warrant the accuracy
                   of such estimates as compared to contractor's bids or actual costs incurred.

          9.       SITE ACCESS AND SECURITY. Unless specifically expressed otherwise as
                   services to be undertaken by Consultant, City is solely responsible for all aspects
                   of site security and for obtaining any necessary permission from any affected third
                   party property owners for use of their lands. Client shall obtain signed
                   Authorization(s) for Entry and Use of Land as necessary for Consultant to
                   perform its Services.

          10.      UNDERGROUND STRUCTURES OR UTILITIES. In the performance of its
                   services, Consultant will take all reasonable care and precautions to avoid damage
                   to underground structures or utilities.

          11.      WAIVER. No waiver, discharge, or renunciation of any claim or right of
                   Consultant arising out of breach of this Agreement by City shall be effective
                   unless in writing signed by Consultant and supported by separate consideration.

          12.      GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in
                   Muskegon County, Michigan, and shall be governed by, and construed in
                   accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan.

          13.      SHOP DRAWINGS. If shop drawing review is provided under this Agreement,
                   Consultant will check and review samples, catalog data, schedules, shop
                   drawings, laboratory, shop and mill tests of materials and equipment, and all other
                   data which the Contractor is required to submit, only for conformance with the
                   design concept of the Project and compliance with the information given by the
                   construction Contract Documents.

          14.      CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES. Unless specifically authorized to
                   provide construction inspection or construction management services, Consultant
                   assumes no liability with regard to the compliance of construction to Contract
                   Documents prepared by Consultant.




R:\REMD\City ofMuskcgon\SAF 2005 Grant\Muskegon Brownfield Contract 02-07-0S.doc
           15.      FEDERAL/LOCAL RIGHT-TO-KNOW COMPLIANCE. In compliance
                    with the Federal Hazard Communication Standards and applicable local laws or
                    ordinances, City shall provide Consultant with a list of hazardous substances in
                    the work place to which Consultant's employees or subcontractors may be
                    exposed to while executing this Agreement to the extent that City is aware of
                    such.




R:\REMD\City ofMuskegon\SAF 2005 Grant\Muskegon Brownfield Contract 02-07-0S.doc
                                         ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
                                        ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES


          1.        STANDARD CARE, WARRANTY, AND OWNERSHIP. Services performed
                    by Consultant under this Agreement shall be conducted in a manner consistent
                    with the level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the profession
                    currently practicing under similar conditions. No other warranty expressed or
                    implied is made. Nothing implied by this Agreement or Consultant's other
                    dealings with City shall be interpreted or construed to make Consultant the owner
                    or generator of any waste, contamination, or contaminated product, land or
                    buildings related to the subject matter of this Agreement. Client shall retain
                    ownership and all responsibility for all contaminants and wastes.

          2.        DISCOVERY OF UNANTICIPATED HAZARDOUS MATERIAL. The
                    discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials encountered during the execution
                    of any work as related to this Agreement shall constitute a changed condition and
                    a change in the Scope of Services and, therefore, a change in Consultant's
                    Compensation. Consultant will notifY City as soon as practically possible and
                    agree to an adjustment in the Agreement pursuant to paragraph 2 of the Terms and
                    Conditions.

          3.       USE OF CITY'S DATA. Consultant prefers to generate and interpret all data
                   used for design or any other consulting purposes. However, if City furnishes data
                   to Consultant for use in performing services provided by Consultant, Consultant
                   will furnish no warranties, either implied or expressed, as to the accuracy of such
                   data or its completeness for its intended use. City retains all responsibility for the
                   quality of any and all data furnished to Consultant which has been generated by
                   anyone other than Consultant.

          4.       TECHNICAL APPROACH. All work is performed with City's acceptance that
                   field and design techniques are evolving and the standards and regulations are
                   subject to rapid change such that selected acceptable, effective design approaches
                   may become superseded by the time of execution. Such change will constitute a
                   changed condition requiring an adjustment in the Scope of Services and in
                   Consultant's compensation.

          5.       CITY'S RESPONSIBILITY TO NOTIFY CONSULTANT. City hereby
                   warrants that if he knows or has any reason to assume or suspect that hazardous
                   materials may exist at the project site, he has so informed Consultant.

          6.       DATA COLLECTION. If City specifies sampling, testing, boring, or well
                   locations, Consultant reserves the right to deviate a reasonable distance from the
                   location specified. If the site conditions prevent the performance of the work at or
                   near the designated locations and these site conditions were not previously made



R:\REMD\City ofMuskegon\SAF 2005 Grant\Muskegon Brownfield Contract 02-07-0S.doc
                    known to Consultant, the pmiies shall attempt to designate alternative locations
                    which may constitute a change in the Scope of Services and therefore may require
                    an adjustment in Consultant's compensation.




R:\REMD\City of Muskegon\SAF 2005 Grant\Muskegon Brownfield Contract 02-07-05.doc
                                           ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
                                      ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS


           1.       SCOPE OF SERVICES. These additional provisions shall apply to Scope of
                    Services referred to separately or collectively as: Phase I Site Assessment, Phase
                    II Site Assessment, Environmental Inspections, or Environmental Audit.

          2.        RIGHT OF ENTRY AND USE OF LAND. City hereby permits employees,
                    agents, representatives, and subcontractors of Consultant's to enter, use and move
                    freely about the Project site to perform their work. Consultant will take all
                    reasonable precautions to minimize any damage to the property. City understands
                    and accepts that the work involved may result in some disturbance of the surface
                    and/or the subsurface of the property.

          3.        FAILURE TO ENCOUNTER HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. City
                    understands that failure to discover hazardous materials does not guarantee that
                    hazardous materials do not exist at the project site and that a non-contaminated
                    site may later become contaminated. Therefore, although Consultant will use all
                    reasonable care and a level of skill ordinarily exercised by members of the
                    profession currently practicing under similar conditions, City agrees that
                    Consultant shall not be responsible for failure to detect the presence of hazardous
                    materials through techniques and practices commonly used for the purpose unless
                    such failure is caused by the sole negligence of Consultant.

          4.       STATE OF THE ART. City understands and accepts that field techniques and
                   analytical capabilities are evolving and that the standards and regulations are
                   subject to rapid change such that currently acceptable investigative approaches
                   and techniques may become superseded by the time of execution. Such change
                   will constitute a changed condition requiring adjustment in Scope of Services and
                   Consultant's Compensation.

          5.       SAMPLING LOCATIONS. If City specifies a sampling or boring location,
                   Consultant reserves the right to deviate a reasonable distance from the location
                   specified. If the site conditions prevent sampling or drilling at or near the
                   designated locations and these conditions were unknown to Consultant, the parties
                   shall attempt to designate alternate locations which may constitute a change in the
                   Scope of Services and Consultant's Compensation.

          6.       ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT REPORTS. The intent of this
                   assignment is detailed in the Scope of Services and all aspects of that work will be
                   addressed in the report. City understands that:

                             a. Consultant will give no opinion regarding the retention of existing
                                permits or procurement of new permits.



R:\REMD\City ofMuskegon\SAF 2005 Grant\Muskegon Brownfield Contract 02-07-0S.doc
                             b. Consultant will make no representations or warranties regarding the
                                market value of any property or its use for a particular purpose.

                              c. Consultant will make no representations or warranties regarding the
                                 actual costs which may be associated with any environmental
                                 remediation at this site. Any opinions presented with regard to
                                 possible remediation are estimates only, and the actual costs may be
                                 substantially different.

   I. 15 of our 21 employees live in Muskegon County and the rest in southern Oceana
      County, The majority of these wages are spent in Muskegon County. Why not bid
      the work with a chance that these monies would circulate in the county again?


   2. Top Rail was responsible for research that led to (in our opinion) a better product.
      Gel core versus Dialight, two major vendors are both good products. With this
      non bidding process there was no competitive material pricing taking place. The
      pricing for this product continues to come down rapidly due to the volume being
      sold as well as the developments in the technology itself. A competitive bid
      situation would insure that you would be getting these cost savings. Would you
      buy a new computer today at last year's prices? The same thing is happening here.

   To close, Muskegon County, the City of Muskegon and your engineering department
   are fortunate to have a qualified and reputable source for this type of work residing in
   your community. Top Rail Electric has put a lot of work into sharing and educating
   your staff on this technology and we feel we have earned a position on the bidders
   list. I feel it is reasonable for Top Rail Electric to have the chance to bid on this
   work. Should it be reasonable for me to expect this? Maybe, maybe not, but these
   me the cards dealt and I feel Top Rail Electric should have the chance to bid on this
   work.
