The property has been determined to have an average indoor radon level above 4.0 pCi/L and/or radon decay product level above 0.02 WL. The US EPA recommends taking action to mitigate homes with readings above 4.0 pCi/L or 0.02 WL (“ Compliance Level” ). PHASE I: In consideration of the payment of $__________ Company Name will complete the following work: ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ TOTAL COST OF PHASE I: $____________ PHASE II In consideration of the payment of $___________ Company Name will complete the following work: ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ TOTAL COST OF PHASE II: $_________________ ADHERENCE TO MITIGATION STANDARDS: System to be installed per EPA’s RADON MITIGATION STANDARDS, October 1993 (Rev, April 1994), in order to assure the homeowner that the most cost effective installation occurs. Please contact your local EPA office to obtain a free copy of RADON MITIGATION STANDARDS and EPA's "Citizen's Guide to Radon." OPERATION COSTS: The operating cost of each fan is expected to be equal to the cost of operating a 60 watt light bulb. This does not preclude minor operating costs in the home heating system which can be reduced with additional caulking and sealing that may be indicated as an option to this proposal. COMPLIANCE LEVEL: The goal of the work described within this contract is to reduce radon decay product concentrations within the Property such that an annual average of radon decay products is less than the Compliance Level of 0.02 working levels or as expressed in equilibrium equivalent radon concentrations of 4.0 pCi/l (herein referred to as the “ Compliance Level” ). Should both radon gas measurements and radon decay product measurements be utilized in characterizing the effectiveness of the system, the radon decay product measurements shall take precedence. Should radon decay product measurements (measured in Working Levels - WL) be converted to an equilibrium equivalent radon gas concentration (EER), an equilibrium factor of 50% shall be utilized in accordance with EPA protocols, utilizing the following formula: EER = 100*RDP (WL)/0.5 Should the satisfactory results of the work be based upon reduction in radon decay products, the client is advised that to assess future conformance with the “ Compliance Level” measurement devices that directly measure radon decay products will be necessary. GUARANTEE: Company Name agrees that upon completion of the work described above through Phase I ________ (initial) and/or Phase II ________ (initial), a short-term radon and radon decay product test shall be performed on the property. This initial test will be provided by Company Name and deployed by owner/agent per instructions provided by Company Name. Should the results of the post-mitigation diagnostic test be less than the Compliance Level, no further work will be performed. Owner/Agent has the right to perform further short-term testing to determine compliance utilizing an independent third-party testing company. Said testing company to be specified below, and to be mutually acceptable to Owner/Agent and Company Name. Should the results of the post-mitigation diagnostic test be greater than the Compliance Level, and providing that all of the phases of work thought to be necessary to adequately reduce radon decay products below the Compliance Level, have been completed, Company Name will return and make any necessary repairs, at no further cost to Owner/Agent, his/her assigns, or subsequent homeowners (as described in warranty below) to reduce the levels. In the event that more than one phase of work has been proposed above, a post installation shortterm measurement will be made to determine the need for completion of the subsequent phases of work proposed. If the result of this measurement is in excess of the Compliance Level, the Owner/Agent may authorize Company Name to complete the additional phases of work necessary for Company Name's guarantee to go into effect. The work described above is for reducing radon decay product concentrations within the building such that an annual average of radon decay products is less than the Compliance Level of 0.02 working levels, or as expressed in equilibrium equivalent radon concentrations of 4.0 pCi/l, from concentrations in the building that are specifically derived from the entry of radon from the soil beneath it. It does not guarantee reduction of radon concentrations that may arise due to the entry of radon from building materials and/or water supplies to the home or the presence of rock specimens that the occupant may bring into the home. Company Name’s technician will, however, attempt to identify these rare entry points to the homeowner during the visual inspection of the property and will disclose these sources and recommend additional diagnostic work prior to the execution of this proposal. WARRANTY/SERVICE AGREEMENT: Company Name further warrants for a period of one year that an annual average of radon and its decay products from soil gas, based on measurements from a long-term testing device provided with the warranty, which is deployed in the lowest livable level of the home, as described in the Guarantee Section of this document, will be below Compliance Level. Should the result of the year-long measurement be in excess of Compliance Level, and all phases described above have been completed, Company Name will perform necessary repairs to the system with warranty recompliance determined by use of short-term measurements by the methods described in the guarantee portion of this proposal. Note that return of this device prior to 12 months of deployment, will void warranty. The conditions of the guarantee portion of this proposal guarantee that radon in the home will not be in excess of the Compliance Level after completion of the above specified number of phases. Post-mitigation testing after completion of one or more of these phases, but prior to completion of all specified phases, may or may not show measurement below the Compliance Level, and the decision may have been reached that further work is unnecessary. However, the conditions of this proposal state that reduction will be guaranteed after completion of all phases. Should the year-long warranty compliance test indicate that average levels have not remained below the Compliance Level, the provisions of the warranty will not be in effect until the work described in the uncompleted phases is performed and payment in full has been received by Company Name. This warranty is made specifically to the Owner/Agent authorizing this work. However, it is transferable to subsequent homeowners of the Property. Transfer may be executed by notifying Company Name's office of the name of the new owner in writing, within 20 days of owner transfer, along with a $25 processing fee. Renewal of this warranty for an additional 12 month period is available to the individual holding the warranty at the end of the 12 month warranty period. The option to renew this warranty for an additional 12 months is to be executed in writing before expiration of the existing warranty, and accompanied by a payment for $185.00. Both the guarantee and warranty apply only to the original structure on which radon mitigation has been performed according to this agreement. Any alterations, additions, or remodeling performed on the home after said mitigation is completed will void the guarantee and warranty. Radon and its decay products have been determined to be a potential cause of lung cancer. Owner/Agent understands that should ownership of the property change, state disclosure laws may require Owner/Agent to disclose information regarding the status of radon levels and/or the existence of a radon reduction system to a potential new owner. Company Name is held harmless for the responsibility of notification regarding radon levels and mitigation systems in respect to any future Owner. Owner/Agent agrees not to hold Company Name or its employees liable for any injuries or damages related to radon in the home except for the cost of any repairs performed on behalf of Owner/Agent. The prices and terms of this proposal may be withdrawn by Company Name if not accepted within twenty (20) days of the date of this proposal. PAYMENT TERMS: A down-payment of fifty percent (50%) of the contract amount is required upon acceptance of this proposal, with the balance due upon completion of the work. Should this proposal entail a phased approach, the terms shall be as follows: Fifty-percent (50%) of each phase amount to be paid prior to commencement of work as described on page one for that phase; with the balance of each phase amount to be paid in full upon completion of that phase. All money due under this agreement shall be paid to Company Name, or its assigns. If the Owner/Agent fails to make any payment due Company Name for services and expenses within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of Company Name's statement, there may be added a surcharge of one percent (1%) of the amount due Company Name. If Owner/Agent fails to make any payment and surcharge due Company Name within thirty (30) days after receipt of Company Name's statement, Company Name may take any legal action available to it, and Owner/Agent shall pay twenty percent (20%) of, and in addition to, amounts incurred by Company Name for collection expenses through a collection agency and any reasonable attorney's fees, plus any additional expenses incurred by Company Name in attempting to assist in any collection efforts, in addition to the fee and surcharge owed by Owner/Agent to Company Name. This estimate and design description has been prepared for the addressee, and is confidential in nature. Design details are not to be used for solicitation of bids unless consent is expressly given by Company Name. The overall cost, however, is not considered to be confidential.
