AECOM
This proposal assumes that the City will pay all WDNR fees associated with obtaining the VPLE
Certification of Completion (COC).
Scope of Services
Task A: Prepare a Lease Liability Clarification Request to WDNR
AECOM will prepare a request for a lease liability clarifcation from the WDNR. This request is
required based on the developer's requirements. WDNR Form 4400-237 will be completed on
behalf of the developer and submitted to WDNR.
Deliverables:
AECOM will prepare and submit WDNR Form 4400-237 and required attachments. The City will
provide the $500 check for the WDNR review fee.
Task B: Prepare an Exhibit and Legal Description of the Site
AECOM will prepare a legal description and exhibit of the site based on the site layout fgure, dated
November 5, 2014, as provided by Andy Dumke.
Deliverables:
AECOM will prepare one draft copy of the legal description and exhibit for review and comment. A
fnal copy will be submitted in PDF format.
Task C: Complete a Phase I Due Diligence Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)
The Phase I ESA will be conducted in general accordance with the ASTM E-1527-13 standard.
AECOM's Phase I ESA will provide information as to the potential that a significant hazardous
material or petroleum hydrocarbon release may have occurred on or affected the Site. The Phase I
ESA will include the following tasks:
Site Reconnaissance and Interview — A visual reconnaissance will be conducted of the ties.
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 the Site or into the ground, groundwater, or surface water of
the Site. Where appropriate, AECOM will record the following observations during the walkthrough
of the Site:
• Site and area vegetation for environmental stress and other ecological disturbances.
• Site and area for surface features that would indicate flling, impoundments, underground
storage tanks, pipelines, wells or other surface penetrations.
• Site for the presence of f Iling or mounding, pits, ponds, or lagoons.
• Areas that are identifed 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 Site.
Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject ro the restriction on the frst page of this document
KdPROPOSAL\Ciry of Oshkosh\OPP-330424_The Rivers LSOPP-330424_The Rivers 1.S VPLE Pmposal.docx
AECOM
• Site and 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.)
• 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 Site.
• Site 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 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 for potential environmental concerns, 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 Site by reviewing a
United States Geological Survey 7.5 Minute Topographic Map showing the areas on which that Site
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 City.
Site History — AECOM will develop an understanding of the Site history. This may be accomplished
through interviews with City personnel and others identified by the City as familiar with the Site, 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 Site, to the extent that such knowledgeable individuals are identified by 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 the
Site. AECOM will review these reports to evaluate whether the Site or neighboring properties
(within a specified radius search distance from Site) are included on the ASTM-specified standard
and additional (e.g., local) environmental record sources (e.g., spills, landflls/dumps, leaking
underground storage tanks). Where appropriate, AECOM will contact state and/or local
governmental sources for relevant documents/file information concerning the Site and adjoining
properties. Freedom of Information Act requests will be made to the appropriate local and/or state
agencies requesting information relative to the Site. Files available at local agencies at the time of
llse or disclosure of tla[a con[ained on this sheet is subject to lhe restnction on the frst page of this document.

AECOM
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 the
Site.
AECOM's records review will include those records that are readily available and reasonably
ascertainable per the ASTM standard.
Vapor Migration — AECOM will evaluate the potential for vapor migration (VM) to impact the Site as
required by the ASTM 1527-13 standard. VM is def ned as the movement of volatile chemical
vapors in soil or groundwater. AECOM will not evaluate vapor intrusion which is def ned as the
movement of volatile chemical vapors from a source in the subsurface (soil or groundwater) into the
indoor air of overlying buildings through cracks or other openings. AECOM will evaluate the
potential for VM to impact the Site in general accordance with ASTM E2600-10, "Standard Guide for
Vapor Encroachment Screening on Property Involved in Real Estate Transactions" (Standard
Guide).
User Responsibilities — Per the ASTM standard, it is the report "user's" (i.e., City) responsibility to
perform certain tasks, which do not require the technical expertise of an 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 fled 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
Environmental Professional (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.
Report Preparation — AECOM will compile and prepare a written report for the Site, documenting
the scope of our work activities and summarizing the results of our assessment. AECOM will
provide the City with a professional opinion as to the potential for there to be a significant on-site
contamination problem, and recommendations for further work, if any. The report will include a site
location map, site plan, representative site photographs, and supporting documentation, as
appropriate.
Deliverables:
AECOM will provide 4 hard copies and one electronic copy of the final Phase I ESA report.
Use or disclosure of data contained on this shee[ is subject to ihe resiriction on Ihe first page of Ihis document.

AECOM
Task D: GroundwaterlSoil Management Plan and Update Subsurface/Geotechnical Site
Investigation
AECOM will also prepare a Sanitary Discharge Permit Application for disposal of the impacted
groundwater generated during construction. In addition, a groundwater and soil management plan
will be prepared for review by WDNR and incorporated into the contractor specifcations.
AECOM has completed a Phase II subsurface/geotechnical investigation for this site. The AECOM
report dated October 5, 2012 will be updated to take into consideration the new building layout and
design features. We do not anticipate any further subsurface investigation will be required by
WDNR.
Deliverables:
AECOM will prepare a memorandum updating the of the Phase II subsurface/geotechnical
investigation dated October 5, 2012. In addition, a Sanitary Discharge Permit Application will be
submitted to the City.
Task E: Interface with Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) Regulatory
Agency
AECOM will prepare correspondence summarizing pertinent details regarding the pursuit of the
VPLE. These documents will be provided to WDNR for review and consideration. We anticipate
that six meetings with the team members will be required.
Deliverables:
AECOM will prepare memorandums, emails and meeting summaries as necessary through the
project and distribute to appropriate team members.
Task F: Provide On-site Documentation of Various Components during Site Construction
Activities Related to Environmental Issues
AECOM will provide trained environmental field staff to document the construction of the
environmental components of the project. These components include, Soil Management,
Contaminated Groundwater Management, Underground Utilities, Vapor Mitigation, and Site
Capping
Soil Manaqement:
We propose to have an AECOM representative on site to observe and identify the excavation areas
containing petroleum/solvent impacted soil requiring disposal. This will be accomplished through
visual and olfactory observations (sheen, petroleum product, stained soils, and petroleum odors),
and feld screening of the soils excavated for obvious signs of contamination. The AECOM feld
staff will use a photo ionization detector (PID) to feld screen the excavated soils. PID field
screening readings of 15 instrument units (equivalent to ppm) or higher will be considered
contaminated and hauled to the Valley Trail Facility. Nonpetroleum/Chlorinated impacted fill
soils/solid waste that can be reused for site fill will be segregated and reused.
Nonpetroleum/solvent impacted fill soilslsolid waste deemed not usable as backfill material will be
hauled to the Valley Trail Facility for disposal.
Use or disclosure of data wntained on this sheet is subject lo �he resUiction on (he first page of this document.

The contaminated soil disposed of in a landfll requires manifesting, which needs a signature by an
authorized representative of the City of Oshkosh. To expedite the processing of the landfll profile
acceptance applications and soil removal activities for this project, the City of Oshkosh will delegate
authority to AECOM to sign the waste profile application and transportation manifests on behalf of
(acting as an agent for) the City of Oshkosh. It is understood that the City of Oshkosh will remain the
responsible party for all final decisions regarding management and disposal of contaminated materials
encountered during this project. By authorizing this proposal, the City of Oshkosh will also be
authorizing Paul F. Timm and his designees of AECOM to act as the authorized agent for the City of
Oshkosh for completing the waste profle and transportation manifests, as needed, to dispose the
contaminated soil under this contract.
Contaminated Groundwater Manaqement
We anticipate that groundwater removed from the project excavations will be collected and pumped
into the Oshkosh sanitary sewer system under the conditions that will be provided in the temporary
discharge permit obtained by AECOM. AECOM proposes to be on site periodically to make sure
the contractor is discharging groundwater in accordance with the anticipated temporary discharge
permit.
Underqround Utilities
We anticipate utilities running through the solid waste fll and petroleum/chlorinated impacted areas
could create routes of less resistance for gases and liquids to migrate into and from the site. In
compliance with anticipated permit requirements, utilities entering and leaving the project area limits
will have a trench plug. Trench plugs will be placed where the utility line enters a structure.
AECOM proposes to document the location, construction, and size of each trench plug.
Vapor Mitiqation
We anticipate a vapor barrier, comprised of an impermeable liner and passive venting system will
be installed below structure slabs and foundations to prevent the migration of moisture and vapors
produced by the solid waste fill and/or petroleum impacts left in place. This vapor barrier, consisting
of a polyethylene (PE) geomembrane sealed at the seams, provides a continuous barrier between
the subsoil and floor slab. The passive venting system will be comprised of perforated piping
between the building foundations, floor slab, and subsoil. AECOM proposes to document this
barrier's installation.
Site Cappinq
AECOM will document the site capping components. These components include the paved parking
lot, lined storm water biofiters, fabric warning barrier under landscape areas, and building base slab.
Deliverables:
AECOM feld notes will be summarized in the VPLE Certifcate of Completion (COC) Application
Report.

Task H: Prepare Park Develapment Plan/Specifications
AECOM will prepare a park and side walk development plan. The side walk is to extend from
Marion Road to the Riverwalk. Lighting will be provided with bollards every 50 feet as designed in
the Riverwalk. Incorporated into the south east corner of the site an area will be developed into a
small park area. The surface will be a combination of stamped concrete and landscaping features.
Two bench areas will be positioned in the area along with a sign kiosk and area for a statue. The
park development plan will be designed taking into consideration VPLE site development goals.
We will prepare one draft site plan for review. After receiving comments we will prepare a f nal plan
set and supporting specifications to provide to the developer for construction.
Deliverables:
AECOM will prepare one draft site layout for review. Final review comments will be incorporated for
the final plan to be submitted to the Developer for construction. In addition, park construction
