estimated costs of complete mold remediation and facility repairs. I During the week of May 22, returned the following day for 2006, I received a phone call from additional observation before the building owner Mr. John Doe accepting the project. with XYZ Properties requesting Once receiving work an evaluation of a vacant grocery market in North Carolina for authorization, a detailed mold contamination. I met Mr. inspection was conducted on the Doe, we both walked through the building’s external and internal facility. The owner conveyed that areas. A total of 263 exhibits of Dr. Jerry J. Tulis from Duke damaged electrical, plumbing, University Medical Center, HVAC, refrigeration, wall Durham, NC was doing the mold structures and mold sampling and determinations.

work and ability to perform necessary tasks. Locating trade contractors willing to perform this work was difficult. The trade contractors and Construction Managers, Inc. were committed to completing the project for the presented costs. External Condition Initially the site resembles a vacant facility. A parking lot obviously needs resurfacing. The present parking space lines are worn and handicap parking can hardly be detected. Weeds are growing from cracks in the asphalt. A tour around the building’s exterior shows evidence of needed repairs. The only evidence that this property was a grocery market is the typical

building architecture. Internal Condition The building’s internal 45,000 square feet of floor area is contaminated with mold. There are several damaged areas to the building’s internal structure. In the absence of shelving and appliances the mold and damaged areas are clearly evident. One can see several missing plumbing, electrical, refrigeration, and mechanical components. Numerous examples of damaged electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration structures can also be seen. Electrical outlets are smashed to the floor with exposed live wires. Copper lines for coolers and freezers are cut from the equipment leaving the lines open for contamination. Also, these lines are cut so close to the floor and walls that they are inappropriate for reuse. Many areas of the floor have open areas exposing concrete and earth. One of the worst areas of damage is under the HVAC system near the back elevation. This damage is a severe safety hazard. There is evidence of several roof leaks and the roof inspection reveals a roof with very little maintenance. The leaks have allowed excessive moisture to enter the structure. This moisture contributes to an environmental condition resulting in an abundance of mold spores. Evidence of mold is apparent on walls and floors where coolers and freezers were once located. Mold has also spread to the HVAC ducting. Other areas such as plumbing and electrical chases and conduits are also infested with mold.

Facility Scope of Work • Procedures for mold remediation should be per Dr. J.J. Tulis and the New York City Department of Health mold remediation guidlines. • Replace all carpets. • Replace Vinyl Composition Tile flooring. • Verify the VCT black mastic does not contain any asbestos. • Replace existing roll-vinyl cove wall base. • Replace all mold contaminated drywall. • Electrical power will be needed for the mold remediation process. • Replace all contaminated cabinets. • All surfaces will be cleaned. • Clean all HVAC internal ducting. NOTE: See Trade Contractors Proposals and Photo Documentation for additional Scope of Work details.

Left The exterior of the store shows serious signs of neglect. Cracked sidewalks, poor parking lot and weeds can be seen sprouting everywhere.

GROCERY STORE #123 July 25th, 2006

Professional Evaluation The Grocery Store #123 grocery market has 45,000 square feet of floor area. This includes the new produce area added in 1993 as shown on the right elevation. The store was originally leased and operated by “Company A”. The market was eventually closed. A probable reason for this closure is due to the fact that two other grocery markets are located on the same highway. The local town was unable to support three grocery markets belonging to the same chain in such close proximity. The closure of Grocery Store #123 was conducted in a careless and very hazardous manner. In the absence of shelving, refrigeration lines, and appliances, needless damage and destruction are evident. It appears that there was no supervision of the equipment removal which resulted in an unprofessional job. Photo by Construction Managers, Inc.

The following photographs and documented exhibits display numerous examples of needless damage to electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration structures. Electrical outlets are smashed to the floor and expose live wires. Copper lines for coolers and freezers are cut from the equipment leaving the lines open for contamination. Also, these pipes are cut so close to the floor or wall that they are inappropriate for reuse. Many areas of the floor have open areas exposing concrete and earth. Existing exterior walls were removed in order to remove large equipment from the market. These walls are still not repaired. One of the worst areas of

damage is under the HVAC system near the back elevation. This damage is a safety hazard. Improper termination is evident in all of these photographs and exhibits.

walls, ceilings, and ducting need to be replaced and all hard surfaces need to be cleaned. Other areas with plumbing and electrical work may also be infested with mold.

In addition to improper removal of equipment, there are evidences of roof leaks. The leaks have allowed excessive moisture to enter the structure. This environmental condition resulted in an abundance of mold spores. Evidence of mold is apparent on the photographs of walls and floors where coolers and freezers were once located. Mold has also spread to the HVAC ducting. Floors,

Much of this damage could have been avoided with proper supervision and professional work. The result of such improper closure now results in costly repairs.

In the business offices there are countless computer and phone wires bundled into a tangled mess.

Large holes can be found in the floor where floor refrigerators and freezers were once located. Some of these holes measure several feet in diameter and nearly a foot deep in places. You can clearly see the ground below in this photo.

Grocery Store #123

A professional remediation contractor’s scope of work report was used to create the project estimate.

TECHNICAL REPORT INSPECTION AND TESTING This Scope of Work is based on the inspection conducted at the Food Lion Building in Dunn Plaza located at 1727 W. Cumberland Street Dunn, NC on May 10th 2006 by Dr. J.J. Tulis of Duke University and Kyle Tomlin of BMS CAT. All remediation will be directed by this investigation and results of the visual, air and surface sampling that was performed by Dr.Tulis on this date. The onsite investigation and the conclusive test results will confirm the basis of this remediation plan of action. A limited destructive investigation will be conducted in specified areas after containment and air control has been established and approved, this will allow for a conclusive remediation protocol. DISCUSSION Specific containment and work procedures are required in the remediation of fungal contamination (viable and nonviable). BMS CAT will provide remediation services in accordance with the “ Guidelines on Assessment and Remediation of Fungi in Indoor Environments 2002, “ from the New York City Department of Health & Mental Hygiene Bureau of Environmental & Occupational Disease Epidemiology, 2002. “ SCOPE OF WORK DEFINITION OF PROCEDURES Seal & containment 6 mil fire rated poly (FR) will be used to seal porous surfaces and reduce and maintain the contaminated area. Negative air pressure Air Filtration Devices (AFDs) will be used to maintain air control for containment and the reduction of airborne particulate before during and after remediation as required in the specified level of PPE. Sheetrock removal and disposal Removal procedure will be based on a dust reduction cutting and removal technique for the reduction of released spores. All disposals will follow provided specification.

Ceiling tile and insulation removal & disposal Ceiling tile and ceiling Insulation will be removed and bagged for disposal. Gross cleaning of all surfaces This process will take place during and at the completion of all contaminant removal. A top down cleaning procedure will be followed utilizing HEPA vacuuming and a wet wipe process for maximum efficiency of removing large debris and reducing the particulate count. Fine clean of all surfaces for pre clearance inspection A top down cleaning procedure will be followed utilizing HEPA vacuuming and a wet wipe process for maximum efficiency of removing all visual dust allowing for and pre inspection and particulate counts that substantiate clearance testing.

Containment 1. A site plan for containment has been developed during the investigation and approved by Dr.Tulis. 2. Shut down of supply and return HVAC in all affected areas. Mechanical seal of all high pressure system lines affecting containment area a. All supply and returns will be sealed to reduce possible cross contamination. b. At the completion of the remediation project all filters in the main unit will be changed by Building Services or owner. 3. Set-up containment barriers and chambers. a. The front retail areas will be separated from the rear production and storage areas. 4. Set-up of AFD’s and test for proper air control. a. Static air flow will be used during remediation. Air flow will be designed to circulate all areas of the facility for dust reduction and air washing. b. The front retail area will be separated with an independent air flow until fine cleaning is completed. c. The rear production storage area will be separated from the front retail with an independent air flow system. 5. At the completion of the fine cleaning of the front retail area and the rear production and storage area all barriers will be removed and one air flow system will be kept in place for total air washing of the facility until testing is performed.

TESTING OF THE LEASED FOOD LION SUPERMARKET FACILITY FOR THE PRESENCE OF MOLD GROWTH Dr. J.J. Tulis, Emeritus Professor Occupational & Environmental Medicine Community & Family Medicine Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC May 16, 2006 The leased supermarket property was visited on May 10, 2006 by Dr. J.J. Tulis and Mrs. Sheryl Bowen for the purpose of inspection of the building for the presence of visible mold growth and conduct of both surface and air testing of the indicated dwelling for the presence of mold growth and indoor air quality. Dr. Tulis is Professor Emeritus at Duke University Medical Center, and Mrs. Bowen is a registered state sanitarian and environmental scientist; both individuals are experienced mold investigators. The request for investigation of the leased property, i.e., leased by Mr. James Lackamy to the Food Lion Corporation, was made by Mr. Steve Epstein of Hunton & Williams, Raleigh, NC. The subject building is located within the Dunn Plaza, Dunn, NC. With the approval of Mr. Epstein, Dr. Tulis invited Mr. Kyle Tomlin of BMS Cats, Ft. Worth, TX, a world-renowned mold remediation company, to join the investigative team comprised of Mr. Epstein, Mr. Lackamy, Dr. Tulis, Ms. Bowen, and Mr. Tomlin. Sampling of the apparent mold growth was conducted using clear cellophane tape for removal of “lift “ samples with subsequent microscopic examination. The lifted samples were affixed on glass microscope slides and placed in a transport case. For microscopic examination, lactophenol cotton blue, a mycologic stain, was placed on each lifted site, covered with a glass coverslip, and microscope fields were examined at both 100X and 400X magnification for confirmation of fungal growth and identification of fungal genera by both Dr. Tulis and Ms. Bowen. At the subject supermarket, visible mold sites were sampled in the retail area from sheetrock walls located along the east, south, and west locations and from apparent mold growth on the soiled floor tiles. Samples were also collected from the rear storage area sheetrock wall and from the office cabinets located at the eastern storefront. Results of the microscopic examinations of samples showed the presence of the following fungal genera and presumptive species of mold growth:

The monitoring of the indoor air was achieved through the use of the 2stage Andersen cascade impactor, the internationally recognized industry standard. Each stage of the impactor has 200 radially arranged holes (i.e., nozzles or jets) through which sampled air is drawn by the use of a vacuum pump, which operates at the rate of one cubic foot per minute. The principle of cascade impaction depends on the increased velocity of entrained particles due to decreases in nozzle diameters in subsequent stages of the impactor, i.e., the 200 holes in the lower stage are significantly smaller in diameter than those in the upper stage. Because of the indicated physical characteristics of the impactor, non-respirable particles (i.e., those larger than 5 micrometers or microns) are deposited on the upper stage and respirable particles (i.e., those smaller than 5 micrometers or microns) are deposited on the lower stage. Thus, the sampled air is separated into non-respirable and respirable fractions. The Andersen 2-stage impactor and associated vacuum system are calibrated with a rotameter for proper air flow. For the impaction of airborne particles containing mold spores, Malt Extract selective mycologic culture medium was used. This culture medium is the recognized industry standard for the collection of viable fungal spores. It is an aciduric medium, i.e., low in pH, that inhibits bacterial growth but does not interfere with the growth of environmental fungi. Incubation of the media was accomplished at ambient room temperature. Sampling times were determined through experience; indoor sites were sampled for both 1.0 and 2.5 minutes; the outdoor air was sampled for 2.5 minutes. An industry provided correction table was used to determine the probable number of deposited mold spores on each plate. Viable Airborne Fungal Spores Collected in the Leased Supermarket Location

Visual inspection of the subject facility showed the presence of apparent visibly evident mold growth throughout the building, albeit restricted to modest areas of sheetrock walls, ceiling tiles, floor tiles, and wooden cabinetry. The surface sampling of areas of presumptive mold growth revealed the presence of the fungal genera of Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Chaetomium, and Stachybotrys. Air sampling revealed the airborne presence of Aspergillus, Cladosporium, and Penicillium; Stachybotrys spores were not detected due to their inability to grow on Malt Extract culture medium. The species of Aspergillus appeared a priori to be primarily Aspergillus versicolor. Findings, both from facility inspection and quantitative and qualitative laboratory results, support the timely mold remediation of the subject facility. Because the presence of visibly evident and laboratorydocumented mold growth is limited, the majority of remediation activities should be associated with aggressive housecleaning and air washing, including some removal of floor tiles and sheetrock. It would appear prudent to remove all ceiling tiles due to both mold and water damage, and all carpeting. Procedures for remediation should adhere to the wellrecognized and industry-accepted NYC mold remediation guidelines.

August 10, 2006 Construction Managers, Inc. P. O. Box 1138 Fremont, NC 27830 Attention: Sam Sasser Reference: Electrical Pricing for Old Winn Dixie Repairs in Dunn, NC Mr. Sasser, In reviewing the photos on the CD I received from you, my best guess would be around $98,500 for the electrical work indicated in numbers 4, 28, 29, 32, 35, 41, 42, 48, 50, 53, 54, 63, 71, 77, 84, 93, 94, 95, 106, 112, 113, 115, 119, 122, 124, 125, 127, 133, 134, 135, 141, 145, 147, 149, 152, 153, 154, 157, 161, 163, 164, 182, 187, 189, 190, 195, 197, 198, 199, 201, 225, 228, 231, 232, 246, 248, 251, 255, 256, 257, 260, and 261. It is assumed that all mold remediation would be completed prior to our starting work so no respirators would be required by our workers. (Our safety department will require this be done to let us work in the building.) The bulk of the work as far as I can tell would consist of removing and reinstalling the indicated abandoned floor circuits, (terminating on the floor with a 6’ greenfield flex for connection to future equipment and routed to the current equipment or location on the other end), and properly supporting/terminating electrical items where equipment removal has created open ended circuits. I believe if the work was done on a T & M basis the cost would be lower since I had to assume some worst case scenarios in working up a price. It would also be helpful if there was an end result plan for the future use of building to see if all the items coming out would actually need to go back. Please call if you have any questions concerning this pricing. (910) 483-4193. Sincerely, WATSON ELECTRICAL CONSTRUCTION COMPANY LLC Buddy Henderson Division Manager Fayetteville Division
