City of Oshkosh 215 Church Street Oshkosh,Wisconsin 54901 Subject: Proposal to Conduct a Sediment Sampling Investigation for Delineation of Petroleum Contamination and for Sediment Disposal Characterization for the Sawyer Creek Channel Improvement Project in Oshkosh,WI—AECOM Proposal No.OPP-183210 Dear Mr. Rabe, AECOM, Inc. is pleased to present this proposal to complete sediment sampling for the delineation of petroleum contamination in the sediments found in Sawyer Creek during the recent dredging for channel improvement. At the request of the DNR,the purpose of the dredging is to determine the nature and extent of the contamination and whether or not the impacts are within a single layer beneath the sediments or intermixed throughout the sediment profile. Once this has been accomplished, an appropriate dredging plan can be prepared which will allow the contractor to minimize the amount of dredged material which needs to be disposed as a special waste.The proposal also includes costs for waste disposal characterization of the dredged material. Scope of Services The scope of services for the sampling includes the mobilization of a barge and a drilling rig to the site and the collection of samples from 21 locations in transects across the creek at 100 foot laterals. At each location,a continuous core sample will be collected through the sediment and into the parent material. Each core will be logged by an AECOM geologist and two samples will be selected for analysis from each location—one from the sediment and one from the parent material. These samples will be analyzed for polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs, EPA Method 8270 SIM),volatile organic compounds(VOCs, EPA Method 8260), RCRA Metals,and total organic carbon. Two additional samples will be selected for disposal purposes one from the bags of sediments from the initial dredging in the impacted area and another from a representative sediment sample. These will be analyzed for the EPA Method 8260B VOC scan and semivolatile organic compounds(SVOCs, EPA Method 8270)per the disposal facility requirements. AECOM will also collect SVOC and VOC samplings from the 15 sediment bags from the non-impacted area to ascertain whether these sediments are impacted with SVOCs or VOCs prior to land spreading. The investigation will include: • Preparation of a health and safety plan for the sampling and disposal 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. OPP-183210_Sawyer Creek Sediment Sampling Proposal.docx AECOM 2 • A site reconnaissance to determine the transects across the creek that are most appropriate for sampling based upon the initial observations from the initial dredging observations.This estimate is based upon the assumption that there will be seven transects from the 73+00 reference point to the 80+ reference points on the Strand Associates Plan-Channel Figure 15 drawing. • Mobilize a barge and drilling rig to the site to collect the samples.AECOM expects to take continuous cores from three points along each transect. Initial samples may be collected with a split spoon to determine the type of materials in the sediment followed by a continuous core which will be collected in a sleeve for observation and collection of samples.An AECOM geologist will be on hand to direct the sampling,observe and log the cores, and collect the representative samples.AECOM expects to collect a sample of the sediment and the parent material from each point. • Collection of discrete samples from the 15 non-impacted bags for SVOC and VOC analysis for land spreading purposes. • The sediment samples collected will be placed into laboratory-supplied,properly preserved sample jars and submitted to a Wisconsin Certified laboratory for analysis(Pace Analytical Laboratory in Green Bay,Wisconsin) • A final report will be prepared to include documentation of the sample locations,observations made during the sampling such as presence of a sheen or obvious contamination,or odor, analytical data,and maps showing the location and profile of the contaminated sediments as well as the concentrations found in the parent material.The report will also include the results of the waste characterization samples and recommendations for the approach to the remainder of the dredging and for disposition of the dredged sediments • The scope of work also includes the costs for AECOM to attend two meetings with the WDNR to explain the results of the sampling,present the report,and discuss options for completing the Sawyer Creek dredging project. Assumptions Several assumptions have been made in developing this estimate and any changes to these assumptions that occur during the course of the project will constitute a change in scope requiring an adjustment in the project cost and/or schedule. These assumptions are: 1. A single mobilization to the site to conduct the site investigation is included in the proposed cost. If an additional mobilization is required there may be an additional cost. 2. AECOM is assuming that the analysis performed on the earlier sediment samples for dioxins, furans, PCBs,pesticides,metals,etc.,as reported by Strand in their November 2011 report, "Sawyer Creek Channel Improvements Sediment and Parent Material Sampling Results",is sufficient for the land spreading and landfill disposal permitting for those parameters. 3. AECOM has assumed that the location of the impacted sediments is consistent with the description provided to date,as indicated at the beginning of this proposal. If it is determined that the impacted area is larger than what is currently understood,and this impacts the level of effort necessary to complete this investigation,AECOM will contact the client to discuss the additional costs associated with the increased effort.

Section 8: Hazardous Substances a. Upon entering into this Agreement,the Client shall notify AECOM of all such hazardous substances which it knows or which it reasonably suspects are or may be present at or contiguous to the Project site or which may otherwise affect the services to be provided. Thereafter, such notification to AECOM shall be required as soon as practicable after the Client discovers either the presence of hazardous substances which were not previously disclosed,increased concentrations of previously disclosed hazardous substances,or facts or information which cause the Client to reasonably suspect the presence of any such hazardous substances. Hazardous substances shall include,but not be limited to,any substance which poses or may pose a present or potential hazard to human health or the environment whether contained in a product,material,by-product,waste,or sample and whether it exists in a solid,liquid,semi-solid,or gaseous form. 2 4/09 AECOM 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.l. 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 materialman 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 materialman,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: Shoo 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 the requirements of the plans and specifications unless the contractor(s)has,in writing,called AECOM's attention to each such variation at the time of submission and AECOM has given written approval of each such variation by a specific written notation incorporated into or accompanying the Shop Drawing or other data. Approval by AECOM will not relieve the contractor(s)from responsibility for errors or omissions in the Shop Drawings or other data. c. AECOM will accept Shop Drawings or other data submittals only from the contractor(s)required by the Project contract documents to furnish the Shop Drawings or data. AECOM will reasonably promptly review and approve,or take other appropriate action in regard to, Shop Drawings or data properly submitted to AECOM. Section 12: Allocation of Risk a. IN NO EVENT SHALL AECOM BE LIABLE,WHETHER IN CONTRACT,TORT,OR OTHERWISE,FOR CLIENT'S LOSS OF PROFITS, DELAY DAMAGES. b. Subject to any limitations contained in Sec.893.80 and any similar statute,of the Wisconsin Statutes,the City further agrees to hold AECOM harmless from any and all liability,including claims,demands,losses,costs,damages,and expenses of every kind and description(including death),or damages to person or property arising out of reuse of the documents without consent where such liability is founded upon or grows out of the acts or omission of any of the officers,employees or agents of the City of Oshkosh while acting within the scope of their employment. c. Under no circumstances shall AECOM be liable for extra work or other consequences due to changed conditions or for costs related to failure of the construction contractor or materialmen or service providers to install work in accordance with the plans and specifications. 4 4/09 AECOM d.
