EXHIBIT A <br /> Scope of Work City of Everett <br /> ShakeAlert Earthquake Early Warning <br /> Pilot Project Implementation <br /> September 2017 <br /> RH2 has been collaborating with the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (University of Washington) and <br /> the USGS (Federal Government) on a program designed to provide early warning of earthquakes that have <br /> the potential to cause damage to northwest infrastructure and communities.The result of that collaboration, <br /> named "ShakeAlert",has been approved for Pilot Testing in selected public water and sewer municipalities <br /> in western Washington. ShakeAlert consists of an extensive network of sensors spread throughout <br /> California, Oregon and Washington, each connected to computer systems at the University of Washington <br /> and at California Berkeley, and configured to provide early warning of an earthquake. <br /> RH2 Engineering has developed a unique hardware and software device that has been specially made for <br /> interfacing with the ShakeAlert system at the University of Washington and the control systems typically <br /> found in public water and sewer utilities.That device is called Advanced Seismic Controls (ASC) and is a <br /> critical element in being able to recognize the early-warning alert and then send that signal forward to water <br /> and sewer systems. <br /> SHAKEALERT ADVANCED DISTRICT <br /> EARLY -r SEISMIC -* CONTROL <br /> WARNING CONTROLS SYSTEM <br /> This project involves the possible integration of Advanced Seismic Controls into select facilities in the City <br /> of Everett,as a Pilot Testing participant, to protect City facilities,wholesale customers and minimize <br /> damage following an earthquake.The project will be pursued in tasks and if necessary, future phases as <br /> follows,wherein later phases will only be initiated if earlier phases are successful. <br /> Phase 1 —Application <br /> Tasks <br /> 1. Work with city project staff to identify which facilities may be eligible for, and benefit from, <br /> earthquake early warning.The identified facilities would be completed in two categories.The first <br /> would be per the USGS pilot test protocols and be inclusive to the city's water and sewer utilities; a <br /> second list of facilities would identify those to benefit from early earthquake warning should the <br /> program be allowed to expand to other city needs. <br /> Task Hours Rate/hr Cost <br /> - 1- <br />
