Exhibit A <br />July 23, 2025 <br />15 <br /> <br /> <br />is measured. Any non-eligible square footage is deducted, such as non-turf areas including bare soil, <br />trees, shrubs, mulch, paving, and utility box footprint, etc. Refer to specific program terms and <br />conditions for eligibility criteria. <br />Once the pre-inspection is complete, the inspector will complete the Pre-Inspection section in Droplet, <br />in full, and upload all photos and documentation. Once the Pre-Inspection form has been submitted, it <br />will be reviewed by MWDOC. The square footage listed on the application is to be used as a reference. <br />The initial project area is to be based on the square footage as measured during the pre-inspection. <br />Once the initial project area square footage has been determined, that number is used to reserve <br />funding, and a Letter to Proceed (LTP) is generated and sent to the customer. <br />Metropolitan reserves the right to request application packages as necessary and may perform its own <br />inspections of random residential applications. This is likely to be in addition to the required pre- <br />inspection. For pre-inspections, Metropolitan will review the Participant Agency’s physical pre- inspection <br />reports. <br /> <br />On-Site Pre-Inspection <br />In-person pre-inspections must include: <br />x Visual verification of existing turf <br />x Physical/manual measurement of proposed turf replacement area using <br />Moasure. <br />x Documentation of existing trees in the proposed turf replacement area <br />x Photos taken by inspector of project area (4 to 6), which must reflect the <br />current turf grass area at the time of inspection. Photos must be taken from <br />appropriate angles, with visible points of reference, and at a sufficient distance <br />to allow for review. <br /> <br />Measuring Sites Aerially <br />Measuring sites aerially must include: <br />x GIS or equivalent aerial measurement <br />x Please note that measuring sites aerially is allowed for pre-inspections only. <br />x Customer is to provide photos of the turf area to be removed before starting the project <br /> (pre-project installation). <br />x The inspector should be capable of spotting abnormalities in pre-project photos submitted <br />by customers, and if found, should perform mandatory on-site inspections. <br />x If aerial review is not possible due to obstructions (tree coverage), or inconclusive, member <br />agency should perform a physical pre-inspection as described above. <br />On-Site Inspections for Area-Based Rebates <br />Unless the program guidelines specifically state otherwise, on-site eligibility verification and area <br />measurement for the pre-inspection is the method to be utilized by an inspection vendor <br />performing inspections on behalf of a Participant Agency. <br /> <br />"!#  <br />       <br />
