{{ coName }}, a Certified E3 Inspector, will conduct an onsite inspection located at the address above. The complete inspection is conducted in multiple sections by State Licensed Architects, Engineers, ICC Inspectors or Contractors as required by City or State Civil Code, starting with a Visual Inspection of the Exterior Elevated Elements (EEE). The visual inspection looks at all decks, stairs, railing, and wooden structures (including metal structures and attachments where 604 Affidavits are required) supporting or attached to any structure which extends beyond the exterior walls where people may walk, stand, or sit (load or static). This inspection follows the guidelines as defined by the California Health and Safety Code §17973 (SB721) or California Civil Code §5551/ 2026 Updated Inspection Reporting Requirements (SB326) or Section 604 of The San Francisco Housing Code.
This proposal and pricing have been developed using a 100% EEE review process versus a statistical sampling of the project outlined in California Civil Code §5551 or California Health and 15% sampling for Safety Code §17973 (SB721) and 100% for Section 604 of The San Francisco Housing Code. The reason {{ coName }} use the 100% inspection method for HOA / Condo is to verify all surfaces and structures are safe. The Statistical Sampling method does not provide 100% accuracy and leaves the possibility of an unsafe condition.
This scope and price cover only a single, non-intrusive visual review of each Exterior Elevated Elements (EEE). Digital scanners, borescopes, or other intrusive inspection or review are not included in this visual component of the survey and inspection. Any signs of surface deterioration, cracks, or damage which can or has led to water or moisture intrusion and or the deterioration of any surface materials will be further investigated under Section Two (2) below: Damage Surface Inspection / Invasive Inspect.
NOTE***All units to be inspected in one scheduled inspection. Scheduling multiple inspections will increase price.

Exclusions:
This proposal specifically excludes inspection of the surfaces and structure where the following obstructs the view of the inspectors:
1. Surfaces covered with carpet, tile, concrete, or other materials which would inhibit a complete visual review.
2. Roof Decks which are not accessible
(AKA: Invasive Inspection if needed).
After the visual survey Section 1 above has been completed, any surfaces deemed by the inspector to be “suspect” where moisture or water has penetrated the surface of the wood, waterproofing or any signs of cracks, dry-rot, bubbles, deterioration, delamination, rusted flashing, water stains on soffit below, signs of structural damage or failures, etc. shall be further inspected through invasive means such as removal of coverings, digital and thermal cameras, borescope or other invasive electronic inspection methods of investigation.
The cost for this Section 2 inspection, if provided, is identified in the proposed price above. The inspection fee does not cover the deconstruction and reconstruction processes (open and close of surfaces), which are to be defined by the inspector. {{ coName }} can provide a proposal for the deconstruction and reconstruction of the surfaces at a price to be determined and paid for by the owner.
If the Invasive investigation noted above reveals concerns of subsurface damage, the surface shall be reviewed further by removal of the coatings, concrete, or plywood layers, stucco, or other surfaces to expose the structural elements for a complete and thorough investigation, which shall be paid for by the owner.
If repairs to any surface are required, licensed contractors, architect or engineer must provide the plans, details, and or type of repairs to be performed. All plans and drawings must be approved by the local Building and Safety department as well as all necessary permits and fees paid by the owner. The owner may select and use his own contractor, architect, or engineer to develop said plans, however {{ coName }} or other Certified E3 Inspectors must inspect all repair work, including finished work, prior to closing the surfaces at the above listed rates for visual inspections. Failure to conform to this requirement will delay or inhibit the issuance of the final report by {{ coName }} or E3 Certified Inspectors.
A report of the project (Visual, Invasive or Final) will be prepared in accordance with the California Health and Safety Code §17973 (SB721) or California Civil Code §5551 (SB326) and San Francisco Section 604 compliance and guidelines and submitted to the Owner / Agent or City for their records and incorporation into the Reserve Study Analysis or public record at the cost identified in the price proposal above.
If any conditions are found to exist where damage is excessive, causing a concern for the safety of the residents or others, {{ coName }} is required by law to inform both the owner and the local or state Building and Safety Department as required by California Health and Safety Code §17973 (SB721), California Civil Code §5551 (SB326) or the City of San Francisco Section 604, and ask the Owner / Agent to close the area(s) to all persons. The Notice of Unsafe Conditions is a separate fee, if required and identified in the price proposal above.
All fees are fully earned by {{ coName }} upon the dispatch of inspectors.
Total due amounts will be billed and due payable upon completion of dispatch of the inspectors or the completion of a Request for Bid (RFP). Reports will be released to the client / undersigned when all payments have been received by {{ coName }}.
A late fee of 15% of the amount of the invoice shall be assessed on any invoice which is not paid within five (15) calendar days of its due date. In addition to the late fee, any invoice which is not paid within thirty (30) calendar days of its due date shall also bear interest at the rate of 18% per annum from the original due date of the invoice.
Any action of any character arising from or related to this Agreement, or the performance thereof, including, but not limited to, breach of contract, including, but not limited to allegations of improperly performed inspections, Requests for Proposals (RFP), negligence, any intentional tort, or any claim based upon alleged noncompliance with statute shall be commenced by Owner/Undersigned against the {{ coName }}, no later than three (3) months after the accrual of the cause of action, OR three (3) months after {{ coName }} work has been substantially completed, OR no later than three (3) months after {{ coName }} last performed inspections or has developed RFP’s under this Agreement if not substantially completed, whichever period is SHORTER.
Owner/Undersigned and its representatives acknowledge that their failure to commence an action within the periods of time set forth in this paragraph shall constitute an absolute bar and complete defense to any action brought thereafter.
Furthermore, in no event shall {{ coName }} be liable under this Agreement for, and Owner/Undersigned hereby expressly releases the {{ coName }} from and against, any indirect, special, incidental, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, damages for loss of revenue and profits, loss of business or business interruptions, loss of use of assets or facilities, and rental expenses and, in all cases, the total liability of {{ coName }} on any and all claims brought by Owner/Undersigned against {{ coName }}, under any theory at law or in equity, shall not exceed the actual price paid to {{ coName }} by Owner/Undersigned pursuant to this Agreement.
