Main j Z.1- AECOM AECOM 558 Borth Main Street Oshkosh,W 54901 aecom.com Date December 19,2016 AECOM Proposal No. OPP-592624 Ms.Darlene Brandt City of Oshkosh 215 Church Avenue Oshkosh,WI 54903-1130 Proposal to Perform A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment of the Properties located at 710 and 716 South Main Street,Oshkosh,Wisconsin Dear Darlene: AECOM Technical Services,Inc.(AECOM)appreciates the opportunity to submit this proposal to the City of Oshkosh(City)to prepare a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment(ESA)of the properties located at 710 and 716 S Main Street in Oshkosh,Wisconsin(Subject Properties). AECOM understands that the Subject Properties are currently occupied by bowling alley and for storage,and that the City would like to purchase the properties. Scope of Work The Phase 1 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 Subject Properties. The Phase 1 ESA will include the following tasks: Site Reconnaissance and Interview-A visual reconnaissance will be conducted of the Subject Properties. 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 Subject Properties or into the ground,groundwater,or surface water of the Subject Properties. Where appropriate,AECOM will record the following observations during the walkthrough of the Subject Properties: • Subject Properties and area vegetation for environmental stress and other ecological disturbances. • Subject Properties and area for surface features that would indicate filling,impoundments, underground storage tanks,pipelines,wells or other surface penetrations. • Subject Properties for the presence of filling or mounding,pits,ponds,or lagoons. • Areas that are identified 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 Subject Properties. • Subject Properties and area electrical equipment(e.g.,transformers)and substations,as well as labeling that may indicate the owners,polychlorinated biphenyls(PCBs)status,and leakage. • 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.

AECOM assumes that we will liaise with a designated property owner 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,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 Subject Properties by reviewing a United States Geological Survey 7.5 Minute Topographic Map showing the areas on which the Subject Properties is 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 the City. Site History--AECOM will develop a thorough understanding of the site's history. This may be accomplished through interviews with City personnel and others identified by the City as familiar with the Subject Properties,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 Subject Properties,to the extent that such knowledgeable individuals are identified by the 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 Subject Properties, AECOM will review these reports to evaluate whether the Subject Properties or neighboring properties(within a specified radius search distance from the Subject Properties)are included on the ASTM-specified standard and additional(e.g.,local)environmental record sources(e.g.,spills, landfills/dumps,leaking underground storage tanks). Where appropriate,ALCOM will contact state and/or local governmental sources for relevant documents/file information concerning the Subject Properties and adjoining properties. Freedom of Information Act requests will be made to the appropriate local and/or state agencies requesting information relative to the Subject Properties. t=iles available at local agencies at the time of 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 K%PROPOSALXCity of Oshkosh\OPP-592624 710&716 S Main Street Phase I ESAs10PP- 592624_710 716 S Main Street Phase I ESAs Proposal.dmx 2Y5 AECOM • 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 Subject Property. AECOM's record 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 Subject Properties 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 evaluate vapor intrusion which is defined 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 Subject Properties 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 of Oshkosh)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 filed under federal,tribal,state,or local law should be reviewed to identify environmental liens or activity and use limitation,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 Subject Properties documenting the scope of our work activities and summarizing the results of our assessment. AECOM will provide you 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. Project Cost AECOM will perform the above-described scope of work at the subject properties for a fixed-price of $5,500. The project services will be performed in accordance with the 2017 Negotiated Fee Schedule for various elements of service we expect will be utilized providing the services outlined in this proposal. This project will be complete per the negotiated April 2009 Negotiated Terms and Conditions. Project Schedule AECOM is prepared to begin work on this project immediately upon authorization to proceed. AECOM is prepared to conduct the site visit and written report will be submitted within approximately three weeks of authorization to proceed, Assumptions The cost and schedule was prepared based on the following assumptions: • The City will arrange for unrestricted site access during normal business hours. AECOM is provided access to all areas of the Subject Properties during normal business hours,and there are no delays in obtaining access, A single mobilization to the Subject Properties is included in the proposed costs. If a second mobilization is required,additional costs will be incurred. As needed,a City or property KAPROPOSALUty of Oshkosh\OPP-592624 710&716 S Main Street Phase I ESAs10PP- 592624_710 716 S Main Street Phase I ESAs Proposal.doex 315 1 AECOM ownerloperator representative will be available to provide operational and site history data input in a timely manner. • AECOM is provided information relative to any valuation reduction issues(e.g.,structural or environmental concerns that result in a price reduction);activity or land use restrictions;and environmental lions and specialized knowledge of the Subject Property and surrounding properties,of which the City maybe aware. • An environmental lien search of the Subject Properties is not part of this scope of work. An environmental lien search of the Subject Properties can be conducted for an additional cost of approximately$100 per parcel. If you would like AECOM to perform this lien search,please initial the last page of this proposal in the space provided. • AECOM will review relevant and available regulatory files for both the Subject Properties and abutting properties the day of the site visit,assuming that the regulatory agency is located within a half hour drive of the Subject Properties. • Should a third-party want to use the report and require a written reliance letter from AECOM for their purposes,that third party will be required to enter into a contract with AECOM and may be required to pay a fee for use of the report. Final determination on whether or not third parties can use the report for reliance purposes will be at the discretion of AECOM. • Title searches are not included in this proposed scope of work;however if provided by the City,they will be reviewed. • A site map or equivalent documentation defining the site boundaries will be available to AECOM upon authorization to proceed. • An evaluation of indoor air duality,explosion hazards,naturally occurring gases(i.e.,radon,hydrogen sulfide,methane,etcl and vapor intrusion were not part of this scope of work • AECOM will not conduct measurements or collect samples of any environmental media during the ESA. • Any additional services beyond the scope of work specified in this proposal will be invoiced on a time and materials basis. The City will be notified prior to initiation of additional activities. • AECOM's scope of work and report format is acceptable to the City. • "Non-scope considerations",as defined by ASTM E-1527-13,which are not included in the proposed scope of work,will not be addressed as part of the Phase I ESA. A cost and/or schedule adjustment may be necessary if changes to these assumptions occur during the course of the project. Limitations The City recognizes that in any project it is not always possible to locate or identify all hazardous materials, substances,or wastes within or surrounding the Subject Properties, The City agrees that AECOM shall only be required to use reasonable efforts,consistent with the practice of other professionals engaged in similar activity,in the course of fulfilling AECOM's duties under this proposal. AECOM is not responsible for conditions or consequences arising from relevant facts that were concealed,withheld,or not fully disclosed at the time the project was performed.
