Vendor accepts and understands that when a purchase order or similar purchase document is sent from a customer through TIPS to the Vendor, TIPS is recording the purchase and verifving whether the purchase is within the parameters of the TIPS Contract only.

Assignments of Agreements No assignment of this Agreement may be made without the prior notification of TIPS. Written approval of TIPS shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Automatic Renewal Clauses Incorporated in Awarded Vendor Agreements with TIPS Members Resulting from the Solicitation and with the Vendor Named in this Agreement. No Agreement for goods or services with a TIPS Member by the awarded vendor named in this Agreement that results from the solicitation award named in this Agreement, may incorporate an automatic renewal clause that exceeds month to month terms with which the TIPS Member must comply. All renewal terms incorporated in an Agreement by the vendor with the TIPS Member shall only be valid and enforceable when the vendor receives written confirmation by purchase order, executed Agreement or other written instruction issued by the TIPS Member for any renewal period. The purpose of this clause is to avoid a TIPS Member inadvertently renewing an Agreement during a period in which the governing body of the TIPS Member has not properly appropriated and budgeted the funds to satisfy the Agreement renewal. This term is not negotiable and any Agreement between a TIPS Member and a TIPS awarded vendor with an automatic renewal clause that conflicts with these terms is rendered void and unenforceable. Shipments The Vendor shall ship, deliver or provide ordered products or services within a commercially reasonable time after the receipt of the order from the TIPS Member. If a delay in said delivery is anticipated, the Vendor shall notify TIPS Member as to why delivery is delayed and shall provide an estimated time for completion of the order. TIPS or the requesting entity may cancel the order if estimated delivery time is not acceptable or not as agreed by the parties. Invoices Each invoice or pay request shall include the Vendor's TIPS Contract number, the TIPS Member's purchase order number or other identifying designation as provided in the order by the TIPS Member. If applicable, the shipment tracking number or pertinent information for verification of TIPS Member receipt shall be made available upon request. Payments The TIPS Member will make payments directly to the Vendor, the Vendor Assigned Dealer or as agreed by the Vendor and the TIPS Member after receiving invoice and in compliance with applicable payment statute(s), whichever is the greater time or as otherwise provided by an agreement of the parties. Pricing Price increases will be honored according to the terms of the solicitation and vendor proposal. All pricing submitted to TIPS shall include the participation fee, as provided in the solicitation, to be remitted to TIPS by the Vendor. Vendor will not show adding the fee to the invoice presented to TIPS Member customer. Participation Fees and Reporting of Sales to TIPS by Vendor TIPS Vendor Agreement 021522_sr Page 3 City of Fort Worth and Chem -Aqua, Inc - Cooperative Agency Contract TIPS 220605 Page 7 of 105 The Participation Fee that was published as part of the Solicitation and the fee published is the legally effective fee, along with any fee conditions stated in the Solicitation. Collection of the fees by TIPS is required under Texas Government Code §791.011 Et seq. Fees are due on all TIPS purchases reported by either Vendor or Member. Fees are due to TIPS upon payment by the Member to the Vendor, Reseller or Vendor Assigned Dealer. Vendor, Reseller, or Vendor Assigned Dealer agrees that the participation fee is due to TIPS for all Agreement sales immediately upon receipt of payment including partial payment, from the Member Entity and must be paid to TIPS at least on a monthly basis, specifically within 31 calendar days of receipt of payment, if not more frequently, or as otherwise agreed by TIPS in writing and signed by an authorized signatory of TIPS. Thus, when an awarded Vendor, Reseller or Vendor Assigned Dealer receives any amount of payment, even partial payment, for a TIPS sale, the legally effective fee for that amount is immediately due to TIPS from the Vendor and fees due to TIPS should be paid at least on a monthly basis, specifically within 31 calendar days of receipt of payment, if not more frequently. Reporting of Sales to TIPS by Vendor Vendor is required to report all sales under the TIPS contract to TIPS. When a public entity initiates a purchase with a TIPS Awarded Vendor, if the Member inquires verbally or in writing whether the Vendor holds a TIPS Contract, it is the duty of the Vendor to verify whether or not the Member is seeking a TIPS purchase. Once verified, the Vendor must include the TIPS Contract number on any communications and related sales documents exchanged with the TIPS Member entity. To report sales, the Vendor must login to the TIPS Vendor Portal online at https://www.tips-usa.com/vendors form.cfm and click on the PO's and Payments tab.

The Vendor or vendor assigned dealers are responsible for keeping record of all sales that go through the TIPS Agreement and submitting same to TIPS.

By answering yes to the next Attribute question below, the vendor and prospective lower tier participant is providing the certification set out herein in accordance with these instructions. 2. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this transaction was entered into. If it is later determined that the prospective lower tier participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification in addition to other remedies available to the federal government, the department or agency with which this transaction originated may pursue available remedies, including suspension and / or debarment. 3. The prospective lower tier participant shall provide immediate written notice to the person to which this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective lower tier participant learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. 4. The terms "covered transaction," "debarred," "suspended," "ineligible," "lower tier covered transaction," "participants," "person," "primary covered transaction," "principal," "proposal" and "voluntarily excluded," as used in this clause, have the meanings set out in the Definitions and Coverage sections of rules implementing Executive Order 12549. You may contact the person to which this proposal is submitted for assistance in obtaining a copy of those regulations. 5. The prospective lower tier participant agrees by submitting this form that, should the proposed covered transaction be entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered transaction with a person who is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the department or agency with which this transaction originated. 6. The prospective lower tier participant further agrees by submitting this form that it will include this clause titled "Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion -Lower Tier Covered Transaction" without modification in all lower tier covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions. 7. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered transaction that it is not debarred, suspended, ineligible or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. A participant may decide the method and frequency by which it determines the eligibility of its principals. Each participant may, but is not required to, check the Nonprocurement List. 8. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge and information of a participant is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings. 9.

Contractors must certify to the district that they have complied. Covered employees with disqualifying criminal histories are prohibited from serving at a school district. Definitions: Covered employees: Employees of a contractor or subcontractor who have or will have continuing duties related to the service to be performed at the District and have or will have direct contact with students. The District will be the final arbiter of what constitutes direct contact with students. Disqualifying criminal history: Any conviction or other criminal history information designated by the District, or one of the following offenses, if at the time of the offense, the victim was under 18 or enrolled in a public school: (a) a felony offense under Title 5, Texas Penal Code; (b) an offense for which a defendant is required to register as a sex offender under Chapter 62, Texas Code of Criminal Procedure; or (c) an equivalent offense under federal law or the laws of another state. I certify that: NONE (Section A) of the employees of Contractor and any subcontractors are covered employees, as defined above. If this box is checked, I further certify that Contractor has taken precautions or imposed conditions to ensure that the employees of Contractor and any subcontractor will not become covered employees. Contractor will maintain these precautions or conditions throughout the time the contracted services are provided. OR SOME (Section B) or all of the employees of Contractor and any subcontractor are covered employees. If this box is checked, I further certify that: (1) Contractor has obtained all required criminal history record information regarding its covered employees. None of the covered employees has a disqualifying criminal history. (2) If Contractor receives information that a covered employee subsequently has a reported criminal history, Contractor will immediately remove the covered employee from contract duties and notify the District in writing within 3 business days. (3) Upon request, Contractor will provide the District with the name and any other requested information of covered employees so that the District may obtain criminal history record information on the covered employees. (4) If the District objects to the assignment of a covered employee on the basis of the covered employee's criminal history record information, Contractor agrees to discontinue using that covered employee to provide services at the District. Noncompliance or misrepresentation regarding this certification may be grounds for contract termination.

A contract with such provisions is voidable. Under this new statute, a "construction contract" includes contracts, subcontracts, or agreements with (among others) architects, engineers, contractors, construction managers, equipment lessors, or materials suppliers.

The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) Lead Agency — Region 8 Education Service Center Pittsburg, Texas REV.021522.sr Page 3 City of Fort Worth and Chem -Aqua, Inc - Cooperative Agency Contract TIPS 220605 Page 63 of 105 TIPS agreements are available for use by all public entities, schools, colleges, universities, cities, agencies, counties and other government entities in all fifty states if permitted by the jurisdictions of the governmental entities. Pricing Models Pricing for Line Items or Catalog It is the intention of TIPS to establish an agreement to furnish and/or deliver all goods and services provided by awarded vendors to its members. Proposers are requested to submit a proposal for offering their complete and total line of available products and services to governmental entities, including school districts. If a name brand is mentioned in the specifications, proposals on any reputable manufacturer's regularly produced equipment of such items of a similar nature or similarly used and substantially equivalent will be considered. The list or category of goods or services sought by this solicitation is inclusive and not exclusive. There may be other similarly used items that are sold by the responding vendors that may be included as part of the proposing vendor's "catalog" (defined below) now or during the life of the agreement that are considered included in this solicitation and subject to the minimum discount proposed. Pricing may also be exclusively line item pricing or, and recommended, in combination with a minimum catalog discount. Example: During the life of the agreement, models change and new products come to market that are in the same category and are added to the vendor's "catalog" and are available for purchase by users of the agreement. If you fail to propose a minimum discount off your catalog, it may limit the ability to change pricing of catalog items and services during the life of the award. Definition of "catalog" "Catalog" means the available list of tangible personal property or services, in the most current listing, regardless of date, during the life of the contract, that takes the form of a catalog, price list, schedule, shelf price or other form that: A. is regularly maintained by the manufacturer or vendor of an item; and B. is either published or otherwise available for inspection by a customerduring the purchase process; C. to which the minimum discount proposed by the proposing vendor maybe applied. Adding New or Replacement Goods Items During the Life of the Agreement Is easiest when proposing a Minimum Discount off (PREFERRED MODEL) catalog prices for goods or a markup on vendor's cost of a good item. See Pricing sheets 1. Pay Careful Attention to This When Completing the Pricing spreadsheets. Adding New or Replacement Services During the Life of the Agreement Is easiest when proposing a Discount off (PREFERRED MODEL) catalog prices for Services because there is no manufacturer or supplier's price in which to apply a markup percentage. See Pricing sheets 2. The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) Lead Agency — Region 8 Education Service Center Pittsburg, Texas REV.021522.sr Page 4 City of Fort Worth and Chem -Aqua, Inc - Cooperative Agency Contract TIPS 220605 Page 64 of 105 Pay Careful Attention to This When Completing the Pricing spreadsheet. Explanation: Markup on cost Vendors may propose a markup on miscellaneous items that are not ordinarily in their catalog or for which no list or manufacturer's pricing is available. It is NOT recommended proposers use the Markup pricing method EXCLUSIVELY because many members are not allowed to use a bid with a markup pricing method, specifically when using Federal Grant Funds. Using this pricing method may limit the effectiveness of your award. If you choose to use the markup pricing method: When proposing a markup on cost model, the vendor shall be required to provide proof of actual cost to the vendor of the goods sold to verify pricing markup is properly and legally applied for the sale of the goods. NEW ITEMS: TIPS will allow the addition of new goods items to be added to the agreement when they become available to the market through the vendor under the discount off published pricing model or markup on cost model. You must stipulate a discount or markup on catalog price in the appropriate section of the pricing Excel sheet to be eligible for this option. You may stipulate discount off specific brands or lines of goods if you desire. Be thorough and concise. Any items added must be available to all customers, within legal or contractual limitations, if any. (Example: Apple products are not permitted to be sold to the education market without special agreement from Apple but may be sold to other government customers.) REPLACEMENT OF DISCONTINUED OR LIMITED AVAILABILITY ITEMS: When proposing a Line Item pricing model - TIPS will allow replacement items to the original list item if it is no longer manufactured or is available in limited quantities. Limited availability must be documented by a letter from the manufacturer. Vendor may replace it with an item of like kind and quality and the price will remain the same as proposed, except if it is cheaper, vendor shall lower the price accordingly and if it is more expensive due to vendor's actual cost from the manufacturer, it will be priced and the same discount shall apply as the item it replaces. Vendor shall be required to prove the pricing if the cost is higher than the original core list price to customer. Note: If you propose a minimum Discount off catalog, you avoid this process since you are adding an item to your catalog and list price and the proposed minimum discount off catalog would apply to the new item. Shipping cost: Pricing presented for goods offered should not include shipping costs from dealer to Member customer. IF shipping is included in the price, regardless of the situation, then you simply state no additional cost for shipping or delivery to any customer. Example: if the truck includes delivery but parts do not, then be sure to specify the variations in your pricing. Shipping method is determined by the vendor and the Member/Customer at the time of the quote/purchase by the Member/Customer and satisfactory shipping methods and costs are agreed upon at that time. Shipping should be passed through at actual cost to the TIPS Member. The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) Lead Agency — Region 8 Education Service Center Pittsburg, Texas REV.021522.sr Page 5 City of Fort Worth and Chem -Aqua, Inc - Cooperative Agency Contract TIPS 220605 Page 65 of 105 SPECIFICATIONS and PRICING FORMAT (EXCEL SPREADSHEET) Proposals on any reputable manufacturers regularly produced goods and services falling within the general categories solicited herein will be considered for award. If a name brand is mentioned, it is only to illustrate type and quality and is not intended to restrict competition. Any list included herein is inclusive and not exclusive.

Example: During the life of the contract, models change and new products come to market that are in the same category and are added to the vendor's "catalog" and are available for purchase by users of the contract provided the catalog discount or cost markup proposed is honored by the awarded vendor. TIPS leaves it to the proposer to determine what goods or services that perform or serve this function and the proposer may list or include anything applicable.

Additional pricing and/or discounts may be included. Each service proposed is to be priced separately with all ineligible items identified. TIPS may award to multiple vendors. See pricing instruction in this document and on the pricing forms 1 and 2. Offerors may elect to limit their proposals to a single service within any category, or multiple services within any or all categories. Region 8 ESC is seeking service providers that have the depth, breadth and quality of resources necessary to complete various aspects of this contract. In addition, TIPS also requests any relevant value add commodity or service that could be provided under this contract. While this solicitation specifically covers the above -mentioned category, Offerors are encouraged to submit an offering on any and all products or services available that they currently perform in their normal course of business. Respondent shall perform and provide these products and/or services under the terms of this agreement. The supplier shall assist the end user with making a determination of their individual needs. The following is a list of included (but not limited to) categories. Proposers may serve a local area only or a broader geographic area at their discretion and should indicate their limitations for a service area. Proposers may submit all items and goods related to supplying MRO goods and non -construction MRO services that they offer. Proposer should submit all applicable services for all types of MRO goods and non -construction MRO services Value Added Pricing Value added services should be explained in detail.

Servicing of facility or grounds infrastructure or equipment or any related service to support MRO may be included in this proposal. A discount off list price pricing model is ideal as list prices change over the life of the awarded agreement. Possible pricing models are discussed in this document. Any other goods and services that are logically related to this general category may be proposed. TIPS reserves the sole right to determine whether or not proposed goods or services are logically related to this general category.

The Vendor may furnish all necessary labor, materials, tools, supplies, equipment, transportation, supervision, management and may perform all operations necessary and required for services. All work shall be performed in The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) Lead Agency — Region 8 Education Service Center Pittsburg, Texas REV.021522.sr Page 7 City of Fort Worth and Chem -Aqua, Inc - Cooperative Agency Contract TIPS 220605 Page 67 of 105 accordance with the requirements set forth in the resulting contract and each mutually agreed upon work request or purchase order issued by TIPS participating members. NOTHING HEREIN IS REQUESTING SERVICES THAT ARE CONSIDERED A PUBLIC WORK/CONSTRUCTION. Pricing Sheets 1 and 2 must be downloaded from the "Attachments" section, completed and uploaded to the "Response Attachments" PRICING sections. Since the list of items a vendor may carry is potentially very long, and items are removed and added to the market frequently, it may be more advantageous to propose a minimum discount off your catalog for goods and services. You may offer different discounts for different brands or lines or services of goods if you choose. A zero discount off catalog proposal is permitted, but TIPS encourages vendors to propose the best discount that they feel is necessary to compete with other retailers to provide the greatest benefit to TIPS members. Proposer shall propose a minimum discount off catalog in the eBid system attribute for all non -line items proposed so you will be covered when future items are available in you catalog. By doing this, the pricing is a ceiling and not a floor. You may always lower your price or increase your minimum discount percentage to be more competitive in a particular situation, You may propose all goods as a line item list if you prefer but the PREFERRED proposal method is a minimum discount off catalog prices. Line item proposal prices may only be increased by the markup method or by application of the US Department of Labor (General (not industry specific) Consumer Price Index (CPI) percentage increase applied annually, so proposing the discount off catalog price may provide easier price adjustments but ensures that they are applied fairly to all customers of the vendor because they are published for all customers to see. If proposer offers a maximum increase percentage in their proposal, that maximum percentage shall control over the CPI. Proposer may propose, both discount off a catalog AND line item pricing for specific lists of items if you choose to. PRICING FORMAT (EXCEL SPREADSHEETS 1 and 2) DO NOT PROPOSE "PRICE TO BE DETERMINED" or "ON REQUEST". This method is not lawful to award by TIPS. You must have unit pricing that can be applied to the needs of the customer. Pricing Sheet 1 Excel Sheet There are three (3) sections in the Excel sheet #1, Section A, B, and C provided in the solicitation documents, please complete all that are applicable to your proposal. The discount off catalog price is an excellent method if list prices are available and please propose that method in addition to any other method you desire to cover future item or service availability. Example: IF you are providing a line item pricing sheet AND a discount off the rest of your catalog, be sure to provide both the line item prices on the list of items proposed and a minimum discount off the rest of your catalog. If different sections of your catalog have different minimum discounts, please note accordingly. Pricing Sheet 2 excel sheet List any other services, maintenance agreements, mileage fees, maximum travel costs, etc. with line item pricing AND/OR discount off Catalog price as defined above if services are routinely listed in your catalog and priced therein. Vendor may provide additional pricing in another format.

DO NOT PROPOSE "PRICE TO BE DETERMINED". If you have questions on this process, email TIPS for clarification. Example: Proposed catalog, web, or store price for an item is $10.00 each and your proposed minimum discount is S%, then the price is firm and calculable as $9.S0. Please provide any explanatory information on your pricing proposal you believe is necessary to fully inform TIPS of your intent.

The heat has risen to the mid-80s, and Oklahoma Sooners soft- ball fans are not happy. "It's 2 o'clock," they yell at the ushers waiting to scan tickets and check bags. "They're letting people in." Indeed, around the corner, another gate at the home of Oklahoma softball has opened, which means some fans al- ready are scrambling to the general ad- mission bleachers beyond the outfield. Sooners, if you will. Don Grace, a 10-year Oklahoma sea- son ticket -holder from Watonga, has been waiting in line since noon to make sure he gets his desired spot, at the top of the bleachers in left -center. Good news: Grace indeed staked his claim for Oklahoma's super -regional opener against Central Florida. Grace describes himself as a donor, with season ticket seats in the main grandstands for the regular season, but those aren't guaranteed for the NCAA playoffs, so he usually gets dispatched to the bleachers. Grace doesn't mind too much. "I like sitting here," Grace said. "I just don't like waiting two hours to get it." Softball fervor has gripped the state. The top -ranked Sooners are a run- away hype machine, both nationally and locally. Patty Gasso's squad likely is the second -most popular team on cam- pus, at least judging by internet metrics. Oklahoma reached the Women's College World Series by sweeping Central Flori- da, capped by a 7-1 victory Saturday. Meanwhile, the Oklahoma State Cowgirls also are bound for the World Series, having completed a two -game sweep of Clemson with a 5-1 super -re- gional victory Friday night in Stillwater, where Oklahoma State had its own ticket -demand issues. It's a common refrain in Oklahoma. USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium hosts the WCWS this week for the 32nd time in 33 years, courtesy of a variety of expansions and renovations that now gives the iconic venue a capacity of 13,000. Sellouts are the norm for the tournament that starts Thursday. In Norman, Marita Hynes Field, which opened in 1998, lists a capacity of Oklahoma State softball players celebrate with fans after beating North Texas in the NCAA Stillwater Regional on May 22. SARAH PHIPPS/THE OKLAHOMAN 1,520 but jammed in 1,659 Friday. Relief is coming. Oklahoma is expect- ed to break ground this summer on Love's Field, a few hundred yards south of the current stadium. "Long overdue," said Oklahoma fan Nancy Howard of Norman, who man- aged to get a $75 all -session ticket for the super regional but often struggles to find a way into the park. She's paid as much as $60 for a regular -season game, using the resale market. Oklahoma softball mania is rising rapidly. The Sooners hosted four games over three days at Hall of Fame Stadium in March. They drew 4,718 on a Friday night for Indiana; 4,936 for Saturday games against San Diego State and Houston; then 3,246 for an 11:30 a.m. Sunday game against Iowa. "Great problem to have," said Toby Baldwin, Oklahoma's director of com- pliance and the administrator for Soon- er softball. "Softball sellouts are becom- ing a regular thing around the nation." The Sooners were a phenomenon far beyond state borders this season. Fans climbed trees to see them play in Cali- fornia and watched from parking ga- rages in Hawaii. The softball fever has spread to Still- water, where the same symptoms are found: overflow crowds, waiting lists for season tickets, a need for a new home. "We'd love for them to have a new stadium," said Jennifer Hamilton, an Oklahoma State fan from Broken Arrow who drove over with her husband to watch the Cowgirls play Clemson. They were part of the crowd listed at 1,384. The Hamiltons spent a year on a waiting list before securing season tickets at Cowgirl Stadium, which including standing room accommodates only about 1,265. "These are high-class problems," said Jesse Martin, Oklahoma State's senior associate athletic director for external affairs. Oklahoma State, like Oklahoma, has worked to accommodate the demand with a variety of innovations. Standing - room only tickets. A free festival beyond the outfield walls, where fans can watch the game on a big screen, partake of food truck options and hear the sounds from the ballpark while mingling with others on the wrong side of the ticket demand. And while Oklahoma has re- sorted to ticketed bleachers within the park and just beyond the outfield walls, Oklahoma State has gone to virtual par- ty decks, which have become quite pop- ular and from which fans can good-na- turedly (hopefully) interact with oppos- ing outfielders. Martin likens the atmosphere at Oklahoma State softball to the intimate feel of old Gallagher-Iba Arena, with ev- eryone close and everyone engaged. "It's almost like `Cheers,' "the TV sitcom from decades ago. "Everybody knows your name, and they're glad you came." But Oklahoma State knows the ulti- mate answer is the same answer found in Norman. A new stadium. The Sooners' Love's Field will seat 3,000, with the capacity to expand and pack in more when demand arrives. It's not crazy to believe the Sooners could have sold 8,000 tickets for the super re- gional closeout game Saturday. Oklahoma State has plans for a new stadium, with the likely location just south of Cowgirl Stadium, where base- ball's abandoned Reynolds Stadium sits deteriorating. "We know we need this said Okla- homa State coach Kenny Gajewski, who has the Cowgirls in their third straight WCWS. "We have a lot of people that just don't come now, because they know it's impossible to get inside." Gajewski knows a new stadium is at least a few years away and knows reliev- ing the ticket demand is going to be in- cremental. "Just baby steps," Gajewski said. "It's hard, because you don't want to invest too much, knowing you're going to be tearing this thing down. But you gotta keep going until that time. It's kind of the cost of doing business here.' Kind of the cost of doing softball business anywhere. The sport is ex- ploding. On ESPN. In ballparks. With marketing. It seems quite likely that softball's fan bonanza is not a fad. "I think softball across the board has done a remarkable job of catering to their audience," said retired Oklahoma administrator Kenny Mossman, who spent many years overseeing Sooner softball and now pastors the First Bap- tist Church of Carnegie. "It's never got- ten too big to interface with the little boy or little girl. Always communicated openly with their fan base.' Mossman recalls the common sight at the World Series, where even mem- bers of the losing team join an auto- graph session for fans. You don't see that out of Kentucky or Duke basketball at the Final Four. "Who else does that?" Mossman said. "The TV numbers are very good. That's usually a precursor for how well a sport's going to do ... the sport's still growing. Don't know that we can pin- point where it will land." Of course, Patty Gasso is not always going to have a team for the ages. Gajew- ski's Cowgirls aren't going to the World Series literally every year. The ticket demand might fade. But it hasn't faded at the World Series, which has a national following and a festive atmosphere and long lines for every- thing from getting into the park to sign- ing autographs to buying roasted corn from the food trucks. Be on time, World Series ushers. Softball fans are watching the clock. Gretzky loves `fun ' TNT NHL studio show Chris Bumbaca USA TODAY Don't expect The Great One to be working from the broadcast booth much in the future. Wayne Gretzky loves his day job - as an analyst on the "NHL On TNT" studio show alongside Rick Tocchet, Anson Carter, Paul Bissonnette and host Liam McHugh - that much. "We have a lot of fun on the panel," Gretzky said on a conference call with reporters Tuesday. "We really enjoy be- ing together. It's fun to have chemistry right off the bat.' Since he retired in 1999 as the NHL's all-time leading scorer - along with doz- ens of other records he still holds - Gretzky has missed playing. He realized long ago he wanted to give his life to the game and saw the Tur- ner gig as an opportunity to stay con- nected, which he appreciates - from the parity between teams to the stars' skill level to the direction of the league. His friendship with Charles Barkley, a panelist on TNT's "Inside the NBA' who spoke highly of the Turner Sports Hockey legend Wayne Gretzky says a push from his friend, Basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, helped push him into a broadcasting career. CHUCK BURTON/AP team, also pushed him into the role. "Probably, he was underrating it," Gretzky said. "It's an even better and nicer group than I could have imagined. It's kind of a fun atmosphere to be in. Everyone brings something different to the program, Gretzky said, whether it's a quip from Bissonnette or a break- down from Tocchet.

And once we leave the studio, it's over and done with," said Gretzky, who welcomes the conflict. "It's good not to always agree with each other. I think that's part of what's made it fun.' Gretzky and his studio mates are on site for the Western Conference finals, which started Tuesday in Denver with the Colorado Avalanche defeating the Edmonton Oilers 8-6. He said he's ready to travel, but not at the rates of TNT broadcast analysts Darren Pang, Keith Jones and Eddie Olcyzk. "Their jobs are safe," Gretzky said. "That's not for me." So while one GOAT (Tom Brady) has post -retirement plans involving the booth, Gretzky appears content in the studio. An empty -nester, Gretzky moved to Florida to be close to his three grand- children who live there. It's also an hour flight to Atlanta for the TNT show. "(Broadcasters) work a lot harder than any of us on the panel," Gretzky said. "Trust me." REAL ESTATE I I Bissonnette `an incredible story' Tocchet and Gretzky were team- mates later in their careers with the Los Angeles Kings and had remained friends. That was key, Gretzky said, be- cause it helped the other three realize he's "one of the guys.' That's especially true of Bissonnette, the quintet's edgier wild card who be- friended Gretzky's sons while playing for the Arizona Coyotes. He entered the media field once his playing days ended, hosts a hockey podcast for Barstool Sports and now sits next to Gretzky once a week (and more often during the playoffs). Gretzky called Bissonnette "an in- credible story" whose career essentially began once he retired from the game thanks to hard work and a passion for hockey. "Obviously, he's off-the-cuff," he said of Bissonnette. "But he's a smarter hockey person than I think people thought going into this year. He knows the game. He respects the game, and I can't say enough good things about him."

While he sat on a stage alongside his fellow teammates of "Team Hi -Flyer" that he picked the night before during a player draft, Mickelson answered every one of the 26 questions during their group presser. Mickelson has been in self-imposed hiding since February when his contro- versial statements on the PGA Tour and Saudi Golf League were published on the Fire Pit Collective. Here are 11 things Mickelson ad- dressed during his news conference Wednesday ahead of LIV Golf's debut event today near London at Centurion Golf Club. Phil's take on "sportswashing" "I said earlier, I don't condone human rights violations. I don't know how I can be anymore clear. I understand your question, but again, I love this game of golf. I've seen the good that it's done and I see the opportunity for LIV Golf to do a lot of good for the game throughout the world and I'm excited to be part of this opportunity." Pressed further, he added, "Nobody here condones human rights violations, and nobody here is trying to make up for anything! Why did he sign with LIV Golf? "I've really enjoyed my time on the PGA Tour. I've had some incredible ex- periences, some great memories. I have a lot of strong opinions on things that should and could be a lot better. One of the mistakes I made is voicing those publicly. So, I will really make an effort to keep those conversations behind closed doors going forward. I think that's the way to be the most efficient and get the most out of it." What exactly he is apologizing for? "I understand that many people have very strong opinions and may disagree with my decision, and I can empathize with that. But at this time, this is an op- portunity that gives me a chance to have the most balance in my life going for- ward and I think will do a lot of good for the game." Is he banned from the PGA Tour? "I choose not to speak publicly on PGA Tour issues at this time." Will he play in the 2022 U.S. Open? "I will play next week at the U.S. Open. I'm looking forward to it." Why he won't resign his PGA Tour membership "It's because I earned it. I believe all players should have the right to play whenever or wherever they want, which is consistent with being an independent contractor. As a lifetime member, I'm not required to play 15 events. I don't have to play any; I can play one. So, I don't feel the reason to give that up." Future role in the Ryder Cup? "Just like the PGA Tour, the Ryder Cup has provided so many relation- DeChambeau will Play LIV Golf event in Oregon Adam Schupak and Riley Hamel Golfweek I USA TODAY Network LIV Golf reportedly is expected to an- nounce that two more former major winners and top -ranked players are ex- pected to join its ranks, perhaps as soon as its next event. Bryson DeChambeau, the 2020 U.S. Open champion, has agreed to play in the next LIV Golf Series event in North Plains, Oregon, at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club scheduled for July 1-3, his agent confirmed. "Bryson has always been an innova- tor," agent Brett Falkoff wrote in a text to Golfweek. "Having the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of something unique has always been intriguing to him. Professional golf as we know it is changing and it's happening quickly." The John Deere Classic, where De- Chambeau won his first PGA Tour title in 2017, is the PGA Tour event being held the same weekend as the LIV event in Oregon. DeChambeau, No. 28 in the world, made his return to the PGA Tour last week at the Memorial Tournament. He missed the cut, shooting 9 over through the first two rounds. He's been dealing with multiple inju- ries, but wrist surgery had kept him sidelined since the Masters (where he also missed the cut). On Feb. 20, DeChambeau shot down the notion he was going to leave the PGA Tour for the Saudi -backed rival league spearheaded by Greg Norman. "While there has been a lot of spec- ulation surrounding my support for another tour, I want to make it very clear that as long as the best players in the world are playing DeChambeau the PGA Tour, so will I," he said in a statement. On Wednesday morning, Patrick Reed, who withdrew from the RBC Ca- nadian Open on Tuesday, became the latest name reportedly in talks to join LIV. The 2018 Masters champion is ex- pected to be added to the roster of LIV Golf Series players, according to the Telegraph. Reed, in contrast to DeChambeau, has never come out in support of LIV Golf or dismissed the idea of ever mak- ing the move. It appears he's made up his mind. Reed is a nine -time winner on the PGA Tour and ranked No. 36 in the world. However, the last year has been tough for the 31-year-old. Since his so- lo fifth at last year's Memorial, he's fin- ished inside the top 10 just twice in 26 official PGA Tour events. This week, LIV's opener is being played in London at Centurion Club. Phil Mickelson made his return to the spotlight and Dustin Johnson had his first press conference since joining the league where he announced he has re- signed his PGA Tour membership. The Pumpkin Ridge event is the next on LIV Golf's schedule, then a few weeks later, they'll be in Bedminster, New Jersey, at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster.

I had a four -month break from the game that I have not had from the game in over three decades. I have had an opportuni- ty to spend time with my wife, Amy, a bunch and travel to parts of the world and spend time at a place we have in Montana skiing, and hike in Sedona (Arizona), what a beautiful place that is, and it's given me time to continue some of the work and therapy on some of the areas that I'm deficient in my life and given me time to reflect on what I want to do going forward and what's best for me and what's best for the people I care most about. "This is an opportunity that allows me to have a balance where I can still be more present and be more engaged with the people I really care about and that's why when I think about being part of LIV Golf I feel so good about it.' Is LIV Golf all about the money? "I don't necessarily agree with your premise, but I think that the opportuni- ty that it provides me to play, compete, bring the sport throughout the world, play less, and have a better balance in life on and off the golf course. I know that it gives me a lot of positives person- ally and professionally, and I believe it does the same for everyone else in the field." Did he actually get a $200 million sign -on fee?

Description: Air Products Blue Energy LLC proposes to conduct geological investigations beneath Lake Maurepas to characterize subsur- face geology and evalu- ate the feasibility of utilizing pore space for permanent carbon diox- ide injection and seques- tration. The proposed geological investigation project involves installa- tion of two, approxi- mately 9,000 foot stratigraphic test wells on Lake Maurepas and associated activities re- quired for equipment ac- cess and staging. Associated activities would include deepening two sections of an exist- ing channel that will be used for barge and drill rig access to Lake Mau- repas, well pad construc- tion, well installation at two proposed locations and a staging area at Port Manchac. The completed wells may be left in place for potential use as se- questration monitoring wells if the test wells bear out that the area is suit- able for carbon seques- tration and if a sequestration project is later developed. A supple- mental Ian for plugging, p p 99 9, capping, and/or removing the test wells will be pro- vided if the area is deemed not suitable for carbon sequestration. Ap- prox. 65ac of open water bottom habitat and ap- prox. 1.8ac of upland habitat will be impacted. ************OCM; P. O.
