Dear Xx. Xxxxx:

QAD Xxxxxx Xxxx Campus Phase I
Revised Proposal to Provide Building Engineering Services (2nd Revision)

We are excited to hear that this project is going forward again and that QAD has invited us to be part of a team once more. We enclose our revised fee proposal and scope of services for the structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering design for the shell and core phase on this project.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The project is a new 88,5000 gross square foot headquarters building for the QAD software company located in Carpenteria, in Santa Xxxxxxx County. The building is single story with a partial basement. Phase I includes only the design of the shell and core of the building. The tenant improvements will be a separate, future phase. The current building construction cost is estimated at $15,635,138.00 and the design schedule is fast-track.

SCHEDULE

Arup Los Angeles currently employs over 120 technical staff in its Los Angeles office. If appropriate this can be augmented with additional staff from our other US offices. We understand that the project schedule is currently under review, but we are aware of the urgency to occupy the building and will work with QAD, the architect and the construction team to provide engineering services to meet QAD's goals.

SCOPE OF WORK

Xxx Xxxx & Partners California Ltd. (OAPCAL) will provide standard consulting structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering design services from the schematic design phase of the project through construction administration. Cost estimates will be provided at each phase by a construction manager employed by the Owner. OAPCAL will provide assistance in analyzing these estimates.

Our services relate to the design of building systems typically located at defined positions not more than 5'-0" from the building envelope. These services will be provided under an AIA C141 (1997) Standard Form of Agreement between Owner and Consultant augmented by the Scope of Building Engineering Services document attached to this proposal. At this point, we have not received a copy of the Owner/Consultant contract. We reserve the right to review our conditions upon review of it. We have listed separately services that are excluded from our proposed scope of work.

BUILDING ENGINEERING FEES

The attached fees are based on our current understanding of the project as represented by the project cost estimate prepared by Xxxxxxxxx Construction Co., dated February 7^th, 2002 with an estimated building construction cost of $15,635,138.00 (shell and core—$10,323,875.00 and tenant improvements—$5,311,263.00). However, we would welcome the opportunity to negotiate fees based on any additional information that you may provide. We propose building engineering fees as outlined below.

SHELL AND CORE FEES

The fees are based on a building shell and core construction cost of 2.7% of $10,323,875, for basic services related to structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering for the shell and core design for the Design Development through Construction Administration phases. The fees have been separated by phase, however our proposal is based on the assumption that we will be providing services for all phases. Our scope includes fitout of the core spaces, the lobbies, MEP supply to a single point of connection in the kitchen and HVAC for the data center. The following items are additional to this basic fee.

1.: Update to current building code requirements

The existing building design was based on the 1994 code requirements and so a complete re-design of the mechanical work done to date and the building lateral system is needed to meet current codes and this also has impacts on the architectural design. This will result in an updated set of drawings for costing and Owner approvals. The design development fee indicated in the schedule below covers this re-work.

2.: Integration of structure, systems and ceiling heights

The site constraints on the overall building height, combined with QAD's desire to maximize internal ceiling height, require the MEP and structural systems to be carefully coordinated together, unlike typical shell and core construction where structure and services are separate. We propose an additional lump sum fee of $40,000 to do sizing and preliminary distribution plans for the MEP systems in all the TI spaces and to modify structure and ductwork to best achieve the required ceiling heights. This information will be documented for use by the TI designer.

3.: Mechanical Title 24 analysis

In order to retain the existing architectural concept as much as possible, while meeting the new Title 24 energy conservation requirements, we are carrying out a specialized performance analysis of the building, rather than the standard prescriptive code approach. This requires additional analysis in both the design development and construction administration phases and for this we propose and additional lump sum fee of $25,000.

4.: Site Lighting

We have also been asked to include the design of site and parking lot lighting in our scope, including selection of fixtures in conjunction with the architect and preparation of plans. We will also provide a lighting level plan based on the selected fixtures. We propose a fee of $4,000 including one trip to Santa Xxxxxxx County. QAD will be responsible for obtaining any necessary approvals from the local neighborhood jurisdictions.

TENANT IMPROVEMENT FEES

These fees are based on 84,000sf of space, including offices, conference rooms, fitness center, visitor center and data center. There is also a kitchen, which will be designed by a specialist kitchen consultant.

For this scope of work, we propose a fee of $120,000. If we are awarded the TI scope in addition to the shell and core, we will charge only $20,000 fee under shell and core design services for integration of structure, systems and ceiling heights.

Should the program change in scope or area or the budget change once it is established in later phases, we would amend our fees as appropriate. In addition, our fee proposal is based on seamless continuity between phases, and any delays in the project not the fault of the design team, will be subject to negotiated demobilization and mobilization costs. We do understand that there will be the obligatory review periods by the user groups and facilities personnel, as well as plan check by the governing agencies.

This proposal is based on our invoicing monthly through each phase of the project, and receiving payment within 45 days of invoice.
