All work on the work site will be managed by CGRS and they will ensure that federal, state and local environmental, health and safety requirements are complied with during the project. An OSHA compliance plan will be made available from CGRS and WAE (via Hellman & Associates for WAE) for their applicable roles and compliance for the project. QA/QC go beyond on-site construction. It is our philosophy that quality needs to be incorporated into the project from the very beginning. There will be quality in the design of the site and integration of the CNG fueling station equipment at the construction site. Appropriate QA/QC measures are incorporated into the drawings, plans and specifications. The design will incorporate the manufacturer’s requirements for the installation of their equipment and materials. Also, all design and installations will comply with all local, state, and national codes and standards as required for design/build of a CNG fueling station such as National Fire Protection code 52. During the design of this project it will be important to communicate and coordinate with the local authorities such as the City of Fort Collins building department and fire marshal. Since the local authorities provide the final sign-off on the project through construction it will be important to have them involved as project stakeholders from the beginning of the work. CGRS and WAE on-site supervisors will be responsible for creating a QA/QC checklist and reviewing the work as it is installed. The QA/QC checklist will consist of information from the contract documents, manufacturer’s requirements, local authority requirements, and any other applicable codes and standards. Warranty:

WAE’s two year (24 months) parts and labor warranty for the Project will comply with the statement below. In the event that confusion arises or additional details are required in terms of the equipment warranty, the ANGI Energy Systems equipment warranty is presented in Exhibit C of this Proposal and will be passed through directly to the City of Fort Collins.

Service Provider warrants all equipment, materials, labor and other work, provided under this Agreement, except City-furnished materials, equipment and labor, against defects and nonconformances in design, materials and workmanship/workwomanship for a period beginning with the start of the work and ending twenty-four (24) months from and after final acceptance under the Agreement, regardless whether the same were furnished or performed by Service Provider or by any of its subcontractors of any tier. Upon receipt of written notice from City of any such defect or nonconformances, the affected item or part thereof shall be redesigned, repaired or replaced by Service Provider in a manner and at a time acceptable to City.

Exhibit C ANGI Equipment Warranty Language

ANGI hereby warrants that the EQUIPMENT sold hereunder shall be free of defects in material and workmanship appearing within 12 months from the date the EQUIPMENT is placed into service or 18 months from the date the GOODS are available to be shipped; whichever comes first. PURCHASER must give written notice of any defect covered by this warranty to ANGI within the warranty period. For any defect covered by this warranty, ANGI shall repair or replace the EQUIPMENT. Repairs or replacement parts are warranted for 90 days from the date that the repaired or replaced EQUIPMENT OR GOODS are shipped from the factory or until termination of the original warranty, whichever is longer. This warranty does not cover labor costs and other contingent expenses for the diagnosis of defects or for removal and reinstallation of the EQUIPMENT. Such repair or replacement shall be PURCHASER's sole and exclusive remedy for ANGI’s breach of this AGREEMENT. This warranty does not extend to any GOODS or EQUIPMENT which have been (a) subject to misuse, neglect, accidents, acts of God, or causes of a similar nature; (b) repaired or altered by anyone other than ANGI, without ANGI's prior approval; (c) improperly installed by anyone other than ANGI or someone under its direction or (d) to consumable parts or materials such as filter elements, seals, belts, or fuses, (e) damage resulting from overloading the GOODS or EQUIPMENT, or (f) damage resulting from PURCHASER’s noncompliance with applicable codes and safety rules including NFPA-52 Vehicular Gaseous Fuel Systems Code which includes references to several other standards and code requirements, including NFPA-70 – Article 500 National Electrical Code, ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII, ANSI/ASME B31.3 Process Piping and ANSI/IAS NGV 4.1 CSA 12.5 NGV Dispensing Systems. ANGI certifies that all equipment, as supplied to the customer, meets or exceeds the requirements of NFPA-52 and its associated references. All site construction is the responsibility of the owner and must be performed according to these codes and requirements along with all local codes and requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Failure to do so represents a noncompliance with applicable laws and safety rules required by this agreement and therefore voids the warranty. The owner absolves ANGI of all liabilities for nonconformance to codes, defects, failures, or workmanship done by others. This warranty does not extend to nor does ANGI provide any warranty to components such as motors and drive engines that are separately covered by a warranty issued by their respective manufacturers. ANGI shall transfer or pass through to PURCHASER any such warranties received by ANGI. This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties expressed or implied. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THIS IS THE ONLY WARRANTY GIVEN FOR THE SALE OF GOODS, EQUIPMENT AND/ OR SERVICES. NO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE SHALL APPLY. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANGI BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE PURCHASE OR USE OF ANGI EQUIPMENT, GOODS,


2

AND/OR SERVICES RESULTING FROM ANY DELAYS OR FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE OF ANGI UNDER ANY AGREEMENT BETWEEN ANGI AND PURCHASER, OR RESULTING FROM ANY SERVICES FURNISHED BY ANGI. This warranty may not be modified, amended, or otherwise changed except by a written document properly executed by ANGI. For warranty issues contact:
