Subject: Proposal for Building Demolition Asbestos and Other Potentially Hazardous
Materials Survey,Abatement Contractor Bidding Assistance,and Documentation
of Removal of Identified Asbestos for the Multi-Residential Structures Located at
1039/1041 West South Park Avenue and 1043/1045 West South Park Avenue
Oshkosh,Wisconsin-AECOM Proposal No.: OPP-93334
Dear Mr. Gohde,
This proposal outlines the AECOM scope of work for a demolition asbestos and other potentially
hazardous materials survey, abatement contractor bidding assistance, and documentation of
removal of identified asbestos, associated with the multi-residential structures located at 1039/1041
West South Park Avenue and 1043/1045 West South Park Avenue Oshkosh, Wisconsin. We
understand these structures are to be demolished by the City of Oshkosh. We also understand that
the requested services include performing a demolition asbestos survey of the buildings to comply
with the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants(NESHAP) and the Wisconsin Administrative Code, Chapter NR 447, Control of Asbestos
Emissions (NR 447).
We propose to have a Wisconsin-Certified Asbestos Inspector from AECOM perform an asbestos
demolition survey in accordance with EPA NESHAP and NR 447. The procedure for conducting the
asbestos survey will consist of a visual inspection, collection of samples, laboratory analysis of
samples, and presentation of results in tabular form. Representative samples of suspect materials
will be obtained by removing a small amount of suspect asbestos-containing building material
(ACBM) and placing it in a leak-tight container. Prior to sampling, the surface of the material will be
wetted to reduce fiber release to the atmosphere during sampling. Samples will be analyzed by
Schneider Laboratories, Inc., using EPA recommended polarized light microscopy analysis with
dispersion staining. ACBM is defined as material that contains greater than 1% asbestos.
Upon receipt of the laboratory test results and the subcontractor's asbestos abatement
documentation,AECOM will prepare a brief letter report,which will identify materials that contained
asbestos, an opinion of probable quantities, and the general condition of these materials.
Estimated quantities generated during the inspection should not be used as bidding quantities.A
sketch map identifying the location of materials containing asbestos will also be prepared, as
warranted.
This document includes proprietary data that shall not be duplicated,used or disclosed outside City of Oshkosh for any purpose other than to
evaluate this document.This restriction does not limit City of Oshkosh's right to use information contained in this document if it is obtained from
another source without restriction.

AECOM - _ 2
Additionally,AECOM will observe the subject property for evidence of hazardous substances in
connection with subject property, including the presence of equipment suspected of containing
polychlorinated biphenyls(PCBs), mercury, refrigerants, petroleum-based fuels and oils, solvents,
paints, batteries, pesticides, herbicides,fertilizer, and other hazardous substances. A sketch map
identifying the location of hazardous materials will also be prepared, as warranted. If required,
AECOM will help arrange for the proper disposal of hazardous substances found on the subject
property.
Asbestos abatement coordination and consulting will consist of obtaining bids from qualified
asbestos abatement contractors, on behalf of the City of Oshkosh, and verifying the removal of
identified ACBM by the abatement contractor. We do not anticipate preparing formal bidding
documents and technical specifications for the project. Rather we will identify potential abatement
contractors and walk them through the site. Abatement contractors will be responsible for verifying
ACBM quantities. Assistance with the Notification Form will consist of review of the completed
document and informing the City of Oshkosh when demolition can commence. Please note that
abatement or demolition can only begin 10 working days after the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources and the Wisconsin Department of Health and Human Services has received the
Notification Form.
We propose to perform the above-outlined scope of services as outlined in the table below:
Estimated Cost
Asbestos Survey/Hazardous Materials Survey/Report Preparation $6,000
(including laboratory testing)
Abatement Contractor Bidding and Documentation of the Removal $1000
of Identified Asbestos
SUBTOTAL ESTIMATED COSTS $7,000
For budgetary purposes we estimate(120 samples)will be submitted for asbestos analysis. We will
conduct this scope of services in general accordance with 2009 City of Oshkosh Negotiated
General Conditions of Service, which are expressly incorporated into, and are an integral part of,
our contract for professional services. Please indicate your acceptance of this proposal by having
an authorized representative of your firm execute a complete copy of the attached authorization
form, and return it to our Oshkosh office.
If we are given verbal or written notification to proceed, it will be mutually understood that both of us
will, nonetheless, be contractually bound by the proposal, even in the absence of a written
acceptance by you. In any event, a signed copy of this proposal will need to be returned to AECOM
before a written report can be submitted.
Sincerely yours,
Craig LeNoble A bert Cole

b. If all or any part of the scope of work is to be performed in the general vicinity of a facility or in an area where asbestos,dust,fumes,gas,
noise,vibrations,or other particulate or nonparticulate matter is in the atmosphere where it raises a potential health hazard or nuisance to
those working in the area of such conditions,Client shall immediately notify AECOM of such conditions,potential health hazard,or
nuisance which it knows,should know,or reasonably suspects exists and,thereafter,AECOM is authorized by the Client to take all
reasonable measures AECOM deems necessary to protect its employees against such possible health hazards or nuisance. The
reasonable direct cost of such measures shall be borne by the Client.
c. Following any disclosure as set forth in the preceding paragraphs,or if any hazardous substances or conditions are discovered or
reasonably suspected by AECOM after its services are undertaken,AECOM may,at its discretion,suspend its services until reasonable
measures have been taken at the Client's expense to protect AECOM's employees from such hazardous substances or conditions.
Whether or not AECOM suspends its services in whole or in part,the Client and AECOM agree that the scope of services,terms,and
conditions,schedule,and the estimated fee or budget shall be adjusted in accordance with the disclosed information or condition,or
AECOM may,at its discretion,terminate the Agreement. In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section,the
Client shall pay AECOM for all services rendered prior to termination and all termination expenses as set forth in Section 15 of these
General Conditions of Service.
d. In the event that services under this Agreement may involve or relate to hazardous substances,or constituents,including hazardous
waste(as defined by federal,state,or local statutes,regulations or ordinances),whether or not involvement or relationship was
contemplated at the time this Agreement was made or when services by AECOM began under this Agreement,the following conditions
shall also be incorporated into the Agreement and be made applicable thereto:
d.1. In the event that samples collected by or received by AECOM on behalf of the Client contain hazardous substances or
constituents,including hazardous waste,AECOM will,after completion of testing and,at Client's expense,(1)return such
samples to Client,or(2)upon written request and using a manifest signed by the Client as generator,release such samples to
a carrier selected by the Client to be transported to a location selected by the Client for final disposal. The Client agrees to pay
all costs associated with the storage,transport,and disposal of samples. The Client recognizes and agrees that AECOM is
acting as a bailee and at no time assumes title to said samples or substances.
d.2. All laboratory and field equipment contaminated in performing services under this Agreement which cannot be reasonably
decontaminated shall become the property and responsibility of the Client. All such equipment shall be delivered to the Client
or disposed of in a manner similar to that indicated for hazardous samples above. The Client agrees to pay the fair market
value of any such equipment which cannot reasonably be decontaminated and all other costs associated with the storage,
transport,and disposal of such equipment.
Section 9: Construction Monitoring Services
a. "Construction Monitoring Services"is defined as services,furnished by AECOM to the Client,which are performed for the purpose of
evaluating and/or documenting general conformance of construction operations or completed work with Project specifications,plans,
and/or specific reports of the Project. Such services may include taking of tests or collecting samples of natural or manmade materials at
various locations on a project site,and making visual observations related to earthwork,foundations,and/or materials. If the services to
be provided by AECOM under this agreement include or are amended to include Construction Monitoring Services,the provisions of this
Section 9 shall be an integral part of this agreement and applicable thereto.
b. The presence of AECOM field personnel will be for the purpose of providing the client with a professional service based on observations
and testing of the work which is performed by a contractor,subcontractor,or other materialmen or service provider. Such services will
only be those specifically requested by the Client and agreed to by AECOM. Discrepancies between construction operations or
completed work and project requirements which are noted by AECOM field personnel will be referred to the Client,or the Client's
representative,as designated prior to AECOM's involvement in the project.
c. It is understood and agreed by the Client that the observation and testing of natural and/or man-made materials by AECOM in no way
implies a guarantee or warranty of the work of the contractor,subcontractor,or other materialmen or service providers,and the services
rendered by AECOM will in no way excuse such contractor,subcontractor,or other materialmen or service providers from liability in the
event of subsequently discovered defects,omissions,errors or other deficiencies in their work. The presence or absence of AECOM on
the Project site will not affect any obligation of any contractor,subcontractor,or other materialmen or service providers to perform in
accordance with the specifications and plans of the Project. The Client further understands that AECOM is not a quality assurance
representative for any contractor,subcontractor,or other materalman or service provider on the Project.
d. The Client agrees to supply AECOM with specifications,plans,and other necessary material for the Project pertinent to providing its
services.
e. Due to the nature of its services,observing and field testing the work of contractors,subcontractors,or materialmen or service providers
on the Project,AECOM cannot always be responsible for the schedule or length of time its field personnel remain on the Project site.
The time AECOM's field personnel spend on the Project site is dependent upon the schedule of the contractor,subcontractor or
materalman,or service provider whose work they are observing and/or testing. AECOM shall make reasonable effort to utilize its time on
the Project site judiciously,but the Client understands and agrees that any delays,cancellations,rescheduling,overtime or other
construction activities that may alter the anticipated number of hours and the anticipated costs of AECOM on the Project site and that are
beyond the control of AECOM field personnel are legitimate and chargeable time and will be invoiced at the rates designated in the
attached fee schedules.
3 4/09
AECOM
f. Part-time work is defined as Construction Monitoring Services provided by AECOM where its field personnel are on the Project less than
five(5)working days per week or less than forty(40)hours per week,or both. It is agreed that the Client will furnish AECOM with a
minimum of one working day's notice,or twenty-four(24)hours notice,whichever is greater,on any part-time work of AECOM if field
personnel are requested. AECOM shall make reasonable effort to provide field personnel on all projects,but reserves the right to
schedule its field personnel as it deems appropriate,including the scheduling of different field personnel from day to day on any given
part-time project of AECOM. The Client agrees to inform AECOM of the anticipated services required by AECOM field personnel on any
day,including but not restricted to the kind and number of tests to be required and the anticipated amount of time the field personnel will
be required on the Project site.
g. All field personnel charges will be made on a portal-to-portal basis. Mileage to and from the Project site will be billed at the rate
designated in the attached fee schedules as will any office engineering time needed to review,evaluate or analyze the field data. All calls
made by the Client or the Client's representative to cancel requested part-time AECOM field personnel must be received by AECOM in
time for AECOM to notify field personnel before they leave for the Project site. AECOM will make reasonable effort to contact its field
personnel as quickly as possible,but reserves the right to bill the Client for time incurred in the event AECOM received a cancellation call
too late for it to intercept the field personnel enroute to the Project site.
Section 10: Opinions of Cost
a. AECOM's opinions of probable total Project costs and Project construction costs,if any,provided as part of the services under this
Agreement are made on the basis of AECOM's knowledge,experience,and qualifications and represent AECOM's judgment as an
experienced and qualified professional engineer,familiar with the construction industry;but AECOM cannot and does not guarantee that
proposals,bids,or actual total Project costs or Project construction costs will not vary from opinions of probable cost provided by
AECOM.
Section 11: Shop Drawings
a. In the event that the scope of services includes review and approval of Shop Drawings or other data which contractor(s)are required to
submit,AECOM's review and approval will be only for conformance with the design concept of the Project and for compliance with the
information given in the Project plans and specifications and shall not extend to means,methods,techniques,sequences,or procedures
of construction,or to safety precautions or programs incident thereto.
b. AECOM's review and approval of Shop Drawings or other data shall not relieve the contractor(s)from responsibility for any variation from
