Proposal to Perform Phase I Environmental Site Assessments for the 2021 Capital Improvement Program,
Oshkosh,Wisconsin
Dear Mr. Blank,
AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM)appreciates the opportunity to submit this proposal to prepare Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment(ESAs)for the 2021 Capital Improvement Program (CIP Subject Properties). This
proposal is in response to the Request for Proposal dated July 20,2020 entitled"City of Oshkosh 2021 Capital
Improvement Program Environmental Records Review Request for Proposals". The ESAs will be completed on nine
(9)portions of City of Oshkosh streets,one(1)Detention Basin, and one(1)Parking Lot. There will be Miscellaneous
Contingency Budget held in reserve for additional projects to be authorized by task order, if necessary.
We understand these ESA's are the first phase of the City of Oshkosh Environmental Services Program. AECOM has
worked closely with the City of Oshkosh in development and implementation of this program for over 10 years.
Our proposed team that have direct experience with the Environmental Services Program include:
Paul Timm—Senior Account Manager
Andrew Mott—Senior Environmental Consultant
Janel Dean—Project Geologist
Mike Pawlak—Project Geologist
Kattie Crotteau—Project Assistant
This group of professionals has completed over 200 ESAs,of which over 100 were in the City of Oshkosh,and some
were completed near the 2021 CIP project areas. AECOM will use that local knowledge and information to help
supplement the scope of services presented below. In addition,this group resides in our Oshkosh office and has
successfully implemented all phases of the City of Oshkosh Environmental Services Program. All work will be
performed by a qualified person under the supervision of an Environmental Professional (Mr.Andrew Mott)as defined
in 312.10 of 40 Code of Federal Regulations and in compliance with AECOM Phase I training requirements. Their
respective resumes are attached.
Project Contact
The overall project contact will be Janel Dean. She can be reached at 517-745-7192 or email
janel.deanC�aecom.com.
Current City of Oshkosh Projects
AECOM is currently retained by the City of Oshkosh for multiple projects,of which some are confidential in nature.
Therefore, a list of projects is not appropriate. Please contact Paul Timm if you wish to discuss these projects. We do
not believe any of the ongoing City of Oshkosh projects we are retained for pose a potential conflict of interest.
Scope of Work
The Phase I ESAs will be conducted in general accordance with the ASTM E-1527-13 standard. AECOM's Phase I
ESAs will provide information as to the potential that a significant hazardous material or petroleum hydrocarbon
release may have occurred on or affected the CIP Subject Properties. The Phase I ESA will include the following
tasks:

Site Reconnaissance and Interview
A visual reconnaissance will be conducted of the CIP Subject Properties. AECOM will record observations of the
presence or likely presence of conditions that indicate an existing release,a past release,or a material threat of a
release of hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on adjacent Properties or into the ground,
groundwater,or surface water of the CIP Subject Properties. Where appropriate,AECOM will record the following
observations during the walk through of the CIP Subject Properties:
• CIP Subject Properties and area vegetation for environmental stress and other ecological disturbances.
• CIP Subject Properties and area for surface features that would indicate filling, impoundments, underground
storage tanks, pipelines,wells or other surface penetrations.
• CIP Subject Properties for the presence of filling or mounding, pits, ponds or lagoons.
• Areas that are identified that use,treat,store,dispose of or generate hazardous substances and petroleum
products and review the status of past and current waste generation and management practices at the Subject
Property.
• CIP Subject Properties area electrical equipment(e.g.,transformers)and substations,as well as labeling that
may indicate the owners,polychlorinated biphenyls(PCBs)status,and leakage. Note:fluorescent light ballasts
will not be individually inspected for PCB-content; however,AECOM will note leakage.
• Potable water supply and/or on-site wells(including dry wells, irrigation wells, injection wells,and other wells).
• Wastewater treatment source and/or on-site septic systems.
• General stormwater discharge routes into a drain,ditch,or receiving body of water on or adjacent to the CIP
Subject Properties.
• CIP Subject Properties for floor drains and sumps.
• Stained soil or pavement, including stains or corrosion on floors,walls,or ceiling,except for staining from water.
• Waste handling areas or practices,chemical/industrial processing areas,and general housekeeping practices.
AECOM assumes that we will liaise with a designated City of Oshkosh (City)representative to ensure proper
coordination and to answer questions or address concerns during our site visits. As part of the reconnaissance
activities,AECOM will make visual observations of immediately adjacent neighboring facilities,to the extent that such
observations can be made without entering the premises of the neighboring facilities.
Physical Setting Information
AECOM will establish the physical setting for the CIP Subject Properties by reviewing a United States Geological
Survey(USGS)7.5 Minute Topographic Map showing the areas on which the CIP Subject Properties are located.
AECOM will review soil/hydrology and groundwater/hydrology information to the extent it is provided by the
environmental database search company(Environmental Data Resources)or in previously prepared reports provided
by the City.
Site History
AECOM will develop an understanding of each CIP Subject Site's history. This may be accomplished through
interviews with City personnel and others identified by the City as familiar with each CIP Subject Property, a review of
locally available land use records, historical photographs, and topographic maps,etc.
AECOM will make reasonable attempts to interview individuals with specific knowledge of or familiarity with the CIP
Subject Properties,to the extent that such knowledgeable individuals are identified by the City or identified during the
course of other ESA activities,and that the information likely to be obtained is not duplicative of information obtained
from other sources. These individuals may be queried in person,by telephone,or in writing. AECOM will review
documents concerning past land uses,including available site plans, records concerning past industrial and waste
disposal practices,and maps when provided by past and present facility owner(s)/occupant(s).
Agency Records Review
AECOM will order a site-specific environmental database report for each of the CIP Subject Properties. AECOM will
review the report to evaluate whether the CIP Subject Properties or neighboring properties(within a specified radius
search distance from each of the CIP Subject Properties)are included on the ASTM-specified standard and additional

/�+�� Delivered.
(e.g.,local)environmental record sources(e.g.,spills, landfills/dumps,leaking underground storage tanks). Where
appropriate,AECOM will contact state and/or local governmental sources for relevant documents/file information
concerning each CIP Subject Property and adjoining properties. Freedom of Information Act requests will be made to
the appropriate local and/or state agencies requesting information relative to the CIP Subject Properties. Files
available at local agencies at the time of the site visit will be reviewed,as time permits. These inquiries may include
the following types of governmental agencies:
• Federal, State,tribal, and local environmental solid and hazardous waste,wastewater sections,etc.;
• Local fire department;
• Local health/environmental department;and
• Local agencies responsible for building and groundwater permits that document Activity and Use Limitations,
also referred to as Institutional Controls and Engineering Controls,for each CIP Subject Property.
• Sanborn Maps
• A history of the City of Oshkosh Sanitation Department, Chapter 7 dumps and Landfills(Steve R. Lankau, 1990)
• Wisconsin Department of Natural Resource South Side of Oshkosh TCE Advisory Zone.
AECOM's record review will include those records that are readily available and reasonably ascertainable per the
ASTM standard.
Vapor Migration
AECOM will not evaluate the potential for vapor migration(VM)of the proposed CIP Subject Project areas. However,
vapor migration and consideration as part of construction should be addressed as part of the Soil, Groundwater, and
Mitigation plans.
User Responsibilities
Per the ASTM standard, it is the report"user's"(i.e., City of Oshkosh)responsibility to perform certain tasks,which do
not require the technical expertise of an Environmental Professional (EP)and are generally not performed by EPs
conducting Phase I ESAs. Section 6.0 of the ASTM standard indicates that"reasonably ascertainable recorded land
title records and lien records that are filed under federal,tribal,state,or local law should be reviewed to identify
environmental liens(EL)or activity and use limitation (AUL), if any,that are currently recorded against the property"
and that"any environmental liens or activity and use limitations so identified shall be reported to the EP conducting a
Phase I ESA." If you have this information you are required to provide it to the EP. If you do not have this information
AECOM can conduct an EL and AUL search for an additional fee. Attached for your completion is a User
Questionnaire which will assist you in communicating to AECOM the user-provided information for each CIP Subject
Property.
Report Preparation
AECOM will compile and prepare a written report for each CIP Subject Property,documenting the scope of our work
activities and summarizing the results of our assessment. AECOM will provide you with a professional opinion as to
the potential for there to be a significant on-site contamination problem, and recommendations for laboratory testing
during the Geotechnical Phase of the program,if any. The report will include a site location map with a list of
concerns including a color-coded site risk ranking,representative site photographs,and supporting documentation,as
appropriate.
Cost Proposal
AECOM will perform the above-described scope of work at the CIP Subject Properties for a Lump Sum Fee per the
below outlined table in accordance with the negotiated terms and conditions dated April 2009 between AECOM
Technical Services, Inc.and the City of Oshkosh.
The following summarizes the proposed sites and lump sum fees:

• An environmental lien search of the CIP Subject Properties is not part of this scope of work. An environmental
lien search of the CIP Subject Properties can be conducted for an additional cost of approximately$160 per
parcel.
• AECOM will review relevant and available regulatory files for both the CIP Subject Properties and abutting
properties the day of the site visit,assuming that the regulatory agency is located within a half hour drive of the
CIP Subject Properties.
• A third-party use of the report will not be required.
• Title searches are not included in this proposed scope of work; however, if provided by the City,they will be
reviewed.
• A site map or equivalent documentation defining the site boundaries will be available to AECOM upon
authorization to proceed.
• An evaluation of indoor air quality, explosion hazards, naturally occurring gases(i.e., radon, hydrogen sulfide,
methane,etc.), and vapor intrusion were not part of this scope of work
• AECOM will not conduct measurements or collect samples of any environmental media during the ESA.
• Any additional services beyond the scope of work specified in this proposal will be invoiced on a lump sum basis
per a negotiated task order
• AECOM's scope of work and report format is acceptable to the City.
• "Non-scope considerations",as defined by ASTM E-1527-13,which are not included in the proposed scope of
work,will not be addressed as part of the Phase I ESA.
A cost and/or schedule adjustment may be necessary if changes to these assumptions occur during the course of the
project.
Limitation:
The City recognizes that in any project, it is not always possible to locate or identify all hazardous materials,
substances,or wastes within or surrounding the CIP Subject Properties. The City agrees that AECOM shall only be
required to use reasonable efforts,consistent with the practice of other professionals engaged in similar activity, in the
course of fulfilling AECOM's duties under this proposal. AECOM is not responsible for conditions or consequences
arising from relevant facts that were concealed,withheld,or not fully disclosed at the time the project was performed.
