Task B: Complete a Phase I Due Diligence Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) The Phase 1 ESA will be conducted in general accordance with Ihe ASTM E-1527-13 slandard. AECOM's Phase I ESA will provide information as to the potential that a signifcant hazardous material or peholeum hydrocarbon release may have occurred on or affected the subjec[ property. The Phase I ESA will include the following tasks: Site Reconnaissance and lnterview— A visual reconnaissance will be conducted of the subject property. AECOM will record observations of the presence or likely presence of condilions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material lhreat of a release of hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the subject pmperty or into the ground, Tnls a«ument Ircl Wes propriebry tlata Mat snall na De aupllca4E, usee or ElscloseE oulslee Gty of osFxosn tor any purposa atM1er Nan b evaluale Pis daumenL T�is resViction tices nol Ilmll City M Os�kosM1's ngM1� �o use IMOrtneOOn wn�ainN in iM1is tlocumeM if i[ Is abbinetl hom arwMer soume �mo�i resmcaon.

Where appropriate, AECOM will record the tollowing observations during the walk[hrough of the subjec[ property: • Subject property and area vegetation for emimnmental stress and other ewlogical disturbances. • Subject property and area for surface features that would indicate flling, impoundments, underground storege tanks, pipelines, wells or o[her surface penetrations. • Subject property for the presence of flling or mounding, pits, ponds, or lagoons. • Areas that are identfied that use, treat, store, dispose of, or generate hazardous substances and petroleum products and review the status of past and current waste generetion and management prac[ices at the subject property. • Subject property and area electrical equipmen[ (e.g., Vansformers) and subs[ations, as well as labeling that may indicate the owners, polychlorinatetl biphenyls (PCBs) staNS, and leakage. • Potable water supply and/or on-site wells (including dry wells, irrigalion wells, injection wells, and other wells). • Wastewater treatment source andbr on-site septic systems. • Generel stormwater discharge routes into a drain, ditch, or receiving body of water on or adjacent to the subject pmperty. • Subjec[ property for floor drains and sumps. • Stained soil or pavement, including s�ains or cormsion on Floors, walls, or ceiling, excep[ for staining from water. • Waste handling areas or prac[ices, chemical/indus[rial processing areas, and general housekeeping practices. AECOM assumes tha[ we will liaise with a designated City of Oshkosh representative to ensure proper coordination and to answer questions or address concems during our site visi�s. As part of the reconnaissance activities, AECOM will make visual observations of immediately adjacent neighboring facilities, to the eMent that such observations can be made without entering the premises of ihe neighboring facilities. Physical Setting Information— AECOM will establish ihe physical setting for subject property by reviewing a United States Geological Survey Z5 Minute Topographic Map showing the areas on which that subject property is located. AECOM will review soil/hydrology and groundwater/ hydrology information b the extent it is provided by ihe ernironmental da[abase searoh company (Environmental Data Resources) or in previously prepared reports provided by City of Oshkosh. Site History— AECOM will develop a[horough understanding of the site's history. This may be accomplished through interviews with City of Oshkosh personnel and others identified by City of Oshkosh as familiar with ihe subject property, a review of locally available land use records, historical photographs, and topographic maps, e[c. AECOM will make reasonable attempts to interview individuals with specifc knowledge of or familiarity with the subject property, to the extent that such knowledgeable individuals are identified use or Claclosure o1 Ead mmainae on Nis snret Is suDjmt lo Ine resinc4on on Ne fi5t Dage of inis aocumem.

These individuals may be queried in person, by telephone, or in writing. AECOM will review documen[s conceming past land uses, including available site plans, records conceming 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 subject property. AECOM will review these reports to evaluate whether the subject property or neighboring properties (within a specified radius search distance from each subject property) are included on the ASTM-specrfied standard and addi[ional (e.g., local) environmental record sources (e.g., spills, landfills/dumps, leaking underground storage lanks). Where appropriate, AECOM will contact state and/or loral govemmentai sources (or relevant documents/file intormation conceming ihe subject property and adjoining properties. Freedom of Infortna[ion Act reques�s will be made to the appmpriate local and/or state agencies requesting information relative to the subject property. Files available at local agencies at the time of [he site visi[ will be reviewed, as time permits. These inquiries may include the following types of governmental agencies: . Faderal, State, tribal, and local emironmental solid and hazardous waste, wastewater sections, etc.; • Localfredeparlment; • Local health/environmen[al depaNmen[; and • Local agencies responsible for building and groundwater pertnits that document Activity and Use Limitations, also referred to as Ins[iN[ional Contmis and Engineering Controls, for the subject property. AECOM's record review will include those records lhat are readily available and reasonably ascertainable per the ASTM s�andard. Vapor Migration - AECOM will evaluate the potential for vapor migretion (VM) to impact the subject property as required by the ASTM 1527-13 standard. VM is defined as the movement of volatile chemical vapors in soil or groundwater. AECOM will not evaluale vapor intrusion which is defined as the movement of volatile chemical vapors from a source in the subsurface (soil or groundwater) into [he indoor air of overtying builtlings [hrough crecks or other openings. AECOM will evaluate Ihe potential !or VM to impac[ the subject property in general accortlance with ASTM E2600-10, "Standard Guide for Vapor Encroachment Screening on Property Involved in Real Estate Transactions" (Standard Guide). User Respansibilities - Per the ASTM standard, it is the report "user's" (i.e., City of Oshkosh) responsibility to perform certain tasks, which do not require ihe technical expertise of an EP and are generally not pedormed 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 emironmental liens or activily and use limitation, it any, that are currentty recorded against the property" and that "any environmenlal liens or activity and use limitations so identified shall be reported to lhe Environmental Professional (EP) conducting a Phase I ESA." If you have ihis information you are required to provide it to the EP. If you do not have this information AECOM can conduct an EL and Use or tlisclosure or aa�e conteiretl on inls sM1reCis zuEl�� o IM1e resinc0on on iM1e flrst paBe of iM1is aocumenl.

AECOM will provide you with a professional opinion as [o the potenlial for there to be a significant on-site contamination problem, and recommendations for /urther work, if any. The report will include a sile loca[ion map, site plan, representative site photographs, and supporting documentation, as appropriate. Deliverables: AECOM will provide 4 hard copies and one elecUOnic copy of the fnal Phase I ESA report. Task C: WEDC SAG Application Assistance AECOM will assist the City with two W EDC SAG applications. This grant can be up to $150,000 with a 30 percent ($45,000) matching requiremen[. Cost share can be in-kind services or paid directly with cash. Potential prqect activilies requested in the applications could include Phase I ESA, Phase II ESA, site imestigation, remedial planning, pre-demolition hazardous materials assessment, demolition, and storage tank removal. Based on recent discussions with the WEDQ i� is anticipated WEDC SAG award turnaround time is approximately 30 days depending upon audit workload. The SAG requires the City to satisfy its "All Appropriate Inquir� which is completing an ASTM 1527 Phase I ESA prior to lhe City acquiring title [o the property. Depending upon the award date of the SAG, lhe costs of Ihe Phase I ESA may be wnsidered a"Pas[ CosT' and considered part of the 30 percent imkind services match. As reques[ed, AECOM's Phase I ESA scope of services has been included within this proposal (see below subsections). In summary, AECOM will provide the following services: • Complete AECOM appointed sections o� ihe application. • Activelycommunica[ewithWEDCregardingthegrantapplication. It may be necessary for the City to identify and collect some required grant attachments ihat may not be readily available to AECOM. AECOM will assist the City in identifying the required documenis. As part of ihis proposal, AECOM will split the property into two diKerent parcels via the proposed CSM and legal descriplion as described in Task A. AECOM and City will complete one WEDC SAG application for each parcel. It should be understood that completion of this grant application is no guarantee that the monies will be awarded to the City.
