Howard R.Green Company
SUPPLEMENTAL SCOPE OF SERVICES
City of Waterloo, Iowa
Brownfield Site Clean-Up
For the former Construction Machinery Company (CMC) Site
625 Glenwood Street
Waterloo, Iowa
July 27, 2007
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
The former Construction Machinery Company (CMC) site was determined to
have soil and groundwater contamination exceeding Iowa standards. The City of
Waterloo (City) enrolled the CMC site in the state voluntary cleanup program
known as the Land Recycling Program (LRP). Investigation required by the LRP
has been completed. The City then elected to proceed with the next step of the
LRP, that of evaluating risk and designing a response action (clean-up) for the
site so that it may be returned to productive use.
As outlined in the Scope of Services dated October 24, 2005, and the
subsequent Purchase order executed on November 7, 2005, Howard R. Green
Company, serving as the City's Engineering Consultant (Consultant), contracted
to develop a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP), assist the City in
determining an appropriate future use for the site, conduct an Analysis of
Brownfields Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA) and Risk Evaluation/Response Action
(RE/RA) Plan, implement the environmental cleanup, administer the grant budget
and develop and implement a public facilitation plan, and educate potential
occupants about Brownfields indemnification and the remediation process.
Work tasks completed through Fiscal Year 2007 (ending June 30, 2007) include:
• Task 1: Develop a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP)
• Task 2: Assist with City's Site Development Plan
• Task Conduct an Analysis of Brownfields Clean-up
Alternatives (ABCA) and prepare a Risk Evaluation/Response
Action (RE/RA) Plan
• Task 6: Develop and implement a Public Facilitation Plan
(RCRA Community Relations Plan). Any additional future effort
required to extend this work task will be by separate agreement
with the City.
O:\PROJ\722930J26\ADMIN 2007\SUPPLEMENTAL SOS 072707.doc
Work tasks currently ongoing, in accordance with the established schedule,
include:
• Task 4: Implement the EPA/IDNR-approved Clean-up Design
• Task 5: Administer the Grant Budget
• Task 7: Educate Potential Occupants of the Site
One of the most significant of the tasks currently underway is Task 4,
implementation of the EPA/IDNR-approved Clean-up Design. This design is to
address remediation of Area of Concern (AOC) 1, the former waste disposal
trench and burn pit (waste trench), and AOC 2, removal of the two 8,000 gallon
Underground Storage Tanks (USTs).
The basic engineering effort associated with this implementation-of-design task,
as included in the original Scope of Services, generally includes the preparation
of Plans, Specifications and Contract Documents, and certain assistance to the
City with bidding and contractor selection. Not included in the original scope of
services is providing resident observation of the clean-up work, compliance
sampling during the clean-up project, and preparing the necessary reports for
submittal by the City to the regulatory agencies to confirm satisfactory
implementation of the clean-up effort.
A draft set of Plans, Specifications and Contract Documents was previously
completed and submitted to the City for review and comment. Changes to the
Code of Iowa effective January 1, 2007 affected the public bidding procedures
that are to be followed for the subject clean-up project. Therefore, a second
revised draft set of Plans, Specification and Contract Documents has been
prepared and submitted to the City for review and comment.
During the preparation of the second revised draft, as a result of further detailed
review of the site and related historical information, including additional site visits,
and through discussions with prospective contractors relative to the methodology
that will be employed to complete the remedial work and resulting waste
disposal, it has become apparent that additional engineering effort has been
and/or will be required to complete the clean-up design task, and to implement
the cleanup design work effort by the selected Contractor(s). These engineering
tasks and the associated costs are identified in Sections II and IV, respectively,
of this Supplemental Scope of services.
As a requirement of the enrollment of the site in the Iowa Land Recycling
Program (LRP), it is necessary to determine if specific contaminants are leaving
the site. Consistent with this requirement Howard R. Green Company has
conducted on-going quarterly groundwater sampling at selected on-site
groundwater monitoring wells. This work was initiated on October 19, 2006, and
is complete through May 16, 2007, the third consecutive quarterly sampling
event. The results to date indicate prevailing contamination of tetrachloroethene
(PCE) in excess of applicable State of Iowa standards.
O:\PROJ\722930J26\ADMIN 2007\SUPPLEMENTAL SOS 072707.doc
Given these positive test results, and in that five of the eight monitoring wells on
site will be physically impacted by the tank removal and waste trench remediation
work, IDNR has agreed that further sampling and related work should be
discontinued, and that all eight existing monitoring wells are to be sealed and
abandoned without further sampling effort. This will eliminate the City's cost for
monitoring during this interim period, and will allow for unobstructed work by the
contractors when the actual remedial work is implemented.
Following completion of the USTs removal and waste trench work, four new
groundwater monitoring wells are to be installed. These new wells will serve to
meet the LRP requirements for ongoing quarterly monitoring of the groundwater
leaving the site, and to provide for the IDNR-required minimum monitoring of the
groundwater following completion of the removal and closure of the USTs. Once
resumed, monitoring will be required for a minimum of eight quarters to satisfy
the LRP sampling criteria. Note this monitoring and related work will be
implemented after expiration of the grant funding for the clean-up project.
II. SUPPLEMENTAL SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1. Brownfields Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund (BCRLF) Loan
Package Assistance
A. This task includes assisting the City with assembling the appropriate
loan documents for the BCRLF loan, other notices to meet RCRA
closure objectives, as well as time to coordinate with the City and U S
EPA.
Task 2. Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) Sampling
and Testing
A. The approved Risk Evaluation and Response Action (RE/RA) Plan for
this site requires sampling and analysis of the waste trench for
Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) for Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)-listed metals and/or specific
analytes. This work was to be completed prior to the contractors
commencing remedial work at the site, so that known TCLP levels are
available to the contractors as information needed to prepare their
bids and to safely execute the work.
The required TCLP sampling and analysis was completed by Howard
R. Green Company on October 19, 2006, and the results are included
in the contract documents for the prospective bidders' information.
Task 3. Asbestos Sampling and Testing
A. Field observations conducted by Howard R. Green Company staff on
June 22, 2007 suggested the possible presence of insulation on the
USTs and related underground piping that may contain asbestos or
asbestos containing materials (ACM). Sampling and testing of the
suspect material was conducted as needed to provide adequate
O:\PROJ\722930J26\ADMIN 2007\SUPPLEMENTAL SOS 072707.doc
information in the contract documents for the prospective bidding
contractors.
The results of the analysis proved to be negative for ACM.
Task 4. Groundwater Monitoring Wells
A. Previous Quarterly Sampling, Testing and Reporting.
In accordance with the requirements of enrollment of the site in
the Iowa Land Recycling Program by the City of Waterloo,
quarterly groundwater monitoring was initiated on October 19,
2006. Three quarters of sampling, analysis and reporting (through
May 16, 2007) have been completed by Howard R. Green
Company staff.
As described in Section I above sampling, testing and reporting of
the existing groundwater monitoring wells will be discontinued so
that the wells can be removed for implementation of the cleanup
project.
This task item covers the three quarters of sampling, testing and
reporting work conducted to date.
B. Abandonment, Sealing and Reporting of Abandonment of Existing
Groundwater Monitoring Wells.
In accordance with the discussion in Section I above the existing
groundwater monitoring wells (Nos. 1 through 8) will be
abandoned and sealed. The Iowa Administrative Code ([567] IAC
Chapter 39) requires that all abandoned groundwater monitoring
wells be properly sealed by an Iowa Certified Well Contractor who
meets the requirements of [567] IAC Chapter 82. Following
abandonment by sealing, documentation is to be submitted to
IDNR using Form 542-1226.
Howard R. Green Company will complete the abandonment,
sealing and reporting in accordance with the applicable IAC.
C. New Groundwater Monitoring Well Construction
In accordance with recent IDNR concurrence, four new
groundwater monitoring wells are to be installed. These new
wells will serve to meet the LRP requirements for ongoing
quarterly monitoring of the groundwater leaving the site, and to
provide for the IDNR-required minimum monitoring of the
groundwater following completion of the removal and closure of
the USTs.
O:\PROJ\722930J26\ADMIN 2007\SUPPLEMENTAL SOS 072707.doc
Howard R. Green Company will complete the installation of the
four required groundwater monitoring wells, in accordance with
[567] IAC Chapter 110.11.
D. New Groundwater Monitoring Well Sampling, Testing and
Reporting.
Following completion of the described site remediation work, and
satisfactory installation of the four new groundwater monitoring
wells, Howard R. Green Company will resume quarterly
groundwater monitoring, utilizing the four new groundwater
monitoring wells, including sampling, testing and reporting for a
minimum of eight (8) quarters.
As discussed in Section III, SCHEDULE, this work will be initiated
in early calendar year 2008, and to continue for a minimum of
eight quarters or at least through the fourth quarter of calendar
year 2009. Since the grant funding for this project will formally
expire effective December 31, 2007 this work task, while identified
herein, will be performed following completion of the grant period
under a separate scope of services and future contract.
Task 5. Project Administration Meetings
A. Public Hearing
Changes in the Code of Iowa effective January 1, 2007 and May
9, 2007 require that public improvement projects with an
estimated total cost in excess of $100,000 be advertised for
sealed bids. Notice of the public hearing and advertisement for
bids as required for such improvement projects may be combined
into a single publication.
Howard R. Green Company has completed modifications to the
contract documents to reflect the current requirements of the
Code of Iowa, including the preparation of the combined Notice of
Public Hearing and the Notice to Bidders, for publication by the
City
Additionally, Howard R. Green Company will attend the Public
Hearing and letting, to provide any needed support to the City,
and respond to questions from the public.
B. Pre-bid Conference
A Pre-bid Conference will be held at the site to clarify bidding
procedures, and to answer technical questions posed by
prospective bidders.
Howard R, Green Company will prepare for and conduct the Pre-
bid Conference on behalf of the City.
O:\PROJ\722930J26\ADMIN 2007\SUPPLEMENTAL SOS 072707.doc
C. Bid Letting/Contract Award
Howard R. Green Company will attend the bid letting, evaluate the
bids received, and provide a recommendation to the City Council
for award of contract for the remediation work, including
preparation of contract(s) for execution by the City and the
successful bidder(s).
D. Pre-construction Conference
Following the award of contract, a Pre-construction Conference
will be held at the site to clarify project issues and to answer
technical questions posed by the Prime contractor and sub-
contractor(s).
Howard R. Green Company will prepare for and conduct the Pre-
construction Conference on behalf of the City.
E. Final Remediation Work Observation Meeting
Howard R. Green Company will assist the City in conducting a
final observation of the completed remediation project work to
confirm substantial compliance with the Plans, Specifications and
Contract Documents.
F. Final Project Close-out
Howard R. Green Company will meet with City representatives
following completion of the project to assist the City in the close-
out of the project, including preparing and submitting required
documentation reports to the regulatory agencies, and tabulating
final project cost for payment to the Contractor.
Task 6. Additional Site Visits/Finalize Methodology and Cost Estimate
for the Clean-up Design
A. Howard R. Green Company has made and will make additional trips
to the site to conduct additional field investigation(s) as necessary to
complete the final clean-up design, including the preparation of final
plans, specifications and contract documents, and to adequately
define the project cost by completing the Engineer's Estimate of
Probable Cost. The Consultant will solicit the assistance of
prospective contractors to help establish the probable cost for certain
specialty work tasks and to help develop the methodology for
performing such work tasks.
The Consultant will conduct up to two (2) site visits with prospective
contractors to facilitate this cost estimation and development process.
O:\PROJ\722930J26\ADMIN 2007\SUPPLEMENTAL SOS 072707.doc
Task 7. Construction Observation
A. Howard. R Green Company will provide part-time resident
construction observation during the course of the Phase I/Phase II
clean-up project, up to a maximum of forty (20) hours per week for
a maximum of three (3) weeks (maximum of 60 hours total). This
on-site availability will allow for the prompt assessment of issues
that arise because of unknown conditions on both the UST
removal and waste trench remediation phases of the work. This
will allow for immediate communication with the appropriate City
staff, who will jointly share in critical decisions that need to be
made regarding the response to technical and financial questions
that may arise, including those that impact the associated costs
for unit-priced work.
The construction observation effort will also allow for ample field
screening and testing, using both visual and electronic/mechanical
means. This will provide an immediate and necessary cross-
check against similar testing required to be performed by the
Contractor. This will help to ensure that the level of clean-up and
remediation being performed is adequate, while at the same time
ensuring that the work effort is not excessive beyond the
requirements of the regulatory agencies. It will also serve as an
additional cost control measure by helping to immediately
delineate available disposal options for certain wastes that will be
generated by the UST removal and waste trench remediation
work. This is particularly true for those wastes that may be
considered hazardous, which will require special handling and
specific disposal out-of-state.
Weekly summary reports illustrating the progress of the work,
photographic documentation of work completed, field screening
test results, issues addressed and resolved, and costs expended
on each phase of the work will be filed with the City.
