Wisconsin 54903-1130 AECOM 558 North Main Street Oshkash, Wisconsin 54901 920235.0270 tel 920235.0321 fax RECEIVED MAY 27Z015 DEVT OF PUBLIC WORKS OSHKOSH, WISCONSIN Subject: Revised Proposal for Environmental and Engineering Services Related to the Former Kienast and Paulus Quarries in Oshkosh, Wisconsin - AECOM Proposal No. OPP381501 Dear Mr. Gohde, AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM) is pleased to present this proposal for professional environmental engineering services involved with the investigation and potential mitigation of landfill gas as a result of historical munidpal waste placement in the Kienast and Paulus Quarries in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. As discussed during a meeting between AECOM and City of Oshkosh personnel on May 5, 2015, the scope of work presented below represents the initial stages of a more comprehensive evaluation of the municipal waste material in the quarries. As directed by the Cily of Oshkosh, this proposal amends Task E to the original proposal submitted May 8, 2015. Project Understanding The scope of work that follows has been developed based on our understanding of the project site and is based on several discussions with City staff. The proposed scope of work includes: A. Interfacing with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) regarding planned actions and potential mitigation activities; B. Preparing materials for and participating in public meetings to inform adjacent property owners of planned actions and potential mitigation activities; C. Investigating the viability of formerly installed gas monitoring wells and sampling the wells for methane (if viable), D. Assisting in the investigation of adjacent properties for the presence of landfill gas, including review of surrounding construction, survey of lot corners, and coordination of explosive gas surveys and installation of explosive gas monitors in adjacent properties, and; E. Completing an environmental subsurface investigation to define the nature and extents of the buried municipal waste, including installation of gas monitoring wells, sampling of gas monitoring wells for landfill gases, and preparation of required documentation for the W DNR. This document includes propnetary data that shall wt be duplicated, used or disclosed outside Cily of Oshkosh for any purpose other than lo evaluate Ihis documenL This resiriction does not limit City of Oshkosh's rigM to use infortnation contained in ihis dxument if il is obtained 6om another source withoul restriction. OPP381501 EmQuairySupportProposal_revi.dmx AECOM Scope of Services Task A: Initial Correspondence with WDNR AECOM will coordinate with appropriate members of the W DNR in advance of project kickoff to determine the required regulatory steps and agency involvement for the proposed scope of work described below. The cost estimate for this task assumes that one in-person meeting with appropriate WDNR staff will be needed. Task B: Adjacent Landowner Engagement AECOM will prepare draft notifcation letters (to be finalized and sent out by the City of Oshkosh) to adjacent landowners and attend meetings with the adjacent landowners and City of Oshkosh staff to present known informafion. This will include a discussion of the potential environmental investigation and potential landfill gas mitigation activities. AECOM will produce supporting visual materials for the meeting, including maps. AECOM will assist in the preparation of access agreements (to be finalized and sent out by the City of Oshkosh) for the landowners to allow for the below tasks to be completed. Task C: Investiqate ViabiliN of Exis[ina Gas Wells Three gas monitoring wells were previously installed in the area of the former Kienast Quarry. AECOM will irnestigate whether these gas wells are still in place and are still viable. If the wells are determined to be viable, AECOM will perform one inifial round of sampling of the wells according to the following procedure: At each gas monitoring well, initial percent of the lower explosive limit (LEL) of inethane (percent LEL methane), percent methane gas (percent methane), percent oxygen (percent OZ), percent of carbon monoxide (percent COz), and groundwater levels (if applicable) will be measured. The LEL is the minimum concentration of a paRicular combustible gas or vapor necessary to support its combustion in air. The LEL of inethane gas is 5% methane by volume. Observations (such as ground condition, barometric pressure, and monitoring well conditions) will also be recorded. After initial readings are recorded, monitoring wells will be purged with a pump at a rate of two liters per minute. Continuous percent LEL methane will be measured as the well is purged. A fnal reading will be recorded when consecutive methane readings are within +10% LEL. Final measurements inGude percent LEL methane, percent methane gas, percent COz, and percent OZ Task D: Assist with Investiaation of Adjacent Properties for Landfill Gas In order to determine whether any landfill gases are currently impacting adjacent properties, the City of Oshkosh will complete an explosive gas survey and possibly install explosive monitors in adjacent structures. This will include a review of the surrounding construction, including utllity lines and connections to structures, the basement construction of the structures, and a survey of lot corners. AECOM will aid the City in preparation of a work plan for the explosive gas surveys and the installation of the explosive gas monitors.

K:\PROPOSAL1Ciry of Oshkosh\OPP376768_2015 Env �uarty Support�OPP-38t501 Env �uarty Support Pmposal_2vi.docx AECOM Task E: Subsurface Environmental Investiaation AECOM proposes to define the extent of the municipal waste by using a combination of non-destructive geophysical methods (ground penetrating radar [GPR] or electromagnetic [EM] surveys) and destructive methods (geoprobing) on the Site. For budgeting purposes, AECOM assumes that only one non-destructive method will be used and assumes that the perimeter can be def ned with the advancement of approximately 30 direct push technology (DPT) sail borings. The soil borings will be advanced to the depth of the buried municipal waste to aid in determining the approximate volume of municipal waste in each of the quarries. Representative samples of the waste material will be collected for laboratory analysis to determine its composition for gas production analysis and potential landfill waste characterization. Documentation of the soil borings will be completed using the boring log format required by WDNR Form 4400-122 for each boring. Following receipt of laboratory results, AECOM will compile the data for analysis of the nature and extents of the buried municipal waste. Once the horizontal and vertical limits of the waste have been defined, AECOM will determine appropriate locations for the installation of gas monitoring wells within the limits of the waste. Depending on the depth and nature of the waste encountered during the first phase of the investigation, AECOM expects that 4-8 gas wells will need to be installed to investigate the composition of the landfill gases being produced by the buried municipal waste. AECOM will prepare a preliminary subsurface assessment report to document the data obtained from the above scope of services. The report will include a discussion of field investigation methodology and physical characteristics of the site, discussion of results with respect to regulatory standards, and recommendations for additional investigation, if necessary. After City review, AECOM will submit a Site Investigation Report to the WDNR to satisfy the requirements of Wisconsin Administrative Code (WAC) NR 507. Project Fees The following table summarizes our estimate of fees to complete the scope of services described above. Service Task A— Initial Correspondence with WDNR Task B— Adjacent Landowner Engagement Task C— Investigate Viability of Existing Gas Wells Task D— Assist with Work Plan Development for Landfill Gas Surveys of Adjacent Structures Task E— Subsurface Environmental Investigation Total Estimated Cost Estimated Cost $3,600 $8,400 $3,600 $12,000 $89,000 $116,600 If changes to the proposed scope of services or services beyond the scope presented in this proposal appear to be necessary, AECOM will consult with the City of Oshkosh and obtain approval prior to initiating the work.
