TASK 3. IDENTIFY POTENTIAL SOURCE AREAS Using the information collected in Tasks 1 and 2, CDM will identify areas where solvents may have been spilled in the airport area. These areas will be the initial focal point for subsequent field investiga- tions. In this task, CDM will prepare a brief technical memorandum which discusses our findings during the first two tasks and outlines a cost-effective field investigation program. The field program will be designed to verify the presence of volatile organics in the soil at suspected spill sites. At this time, three field activities are possible; depending on the results of the first two tasks, one or more of these field activities may be conducted. If contaminants are found during the field investigation, the results will be used to prepare a remedial action clean-up plan, which will be used to guide the subsequent mitigation activities. TASK 4. CONDUCT FIELD INVESTIGATION'S The field investigations will be conducted in this task. The three types of field investigations anticipated for this task include a soil gas survey, soil sampling, and construction of monitoring wells. Depending on what the existing data evaluation and interviews reveal, one or more of these field investigations may be conducted. TASK 4.1. CONDUCT SOIL GAS SURVEY Determining the extent and concent-rat-ion of a contaminant plume is difficult using well data because the wells are few and widely spaced. For this reason, a method to remotely detect volatile organic contami- nants in the groundwater would be very advantageous. Technology is available today to remotely detect some volatile organics using a portable gas chromatograph. However, the success of this technique is Page 2 of 7 CAINAP DRESSEP&McKE-P�NC, dependent of the geochemical nature of a particular organic chemical and on the hydrogeologic characteristics of the saturated and unsaturated aquifer zones in the area. TCE and PCE are detectable with this equipment. The Project Team proposes to use soil gas techniques to determine the areal extent of contamination around the airport area. Soil gas detection techniques are best used by starting near a suspected solvent spill. From this point, gas samples are taken at points radially away from the contaminated site. In this way, a plume can be mapped and other point sources may be located. More importantly, more data will be available on the extent of contamination, which will make the evalu- ation of remedial action alternatives easier and more reliable. The product for this task will be plume maps for those volatile organic chemicals which can be detected using the soil gas techniques. TASK 4.2. PERFORM SOIL SAMPLING If spill sites are identified, then soil samples will be taken between the ground surface and a depth of about ten feet. The shallow excavations will be done using a backhoe. Samples will be checked in the field for the presence of volatile organics using an OVA or HNu handheld analyzer. For those samples having positive results, splits will be sent to a California- and/or EPA-certified lab for confirmation of field tests. Samples will be taken and analyzed in this fashion at 2-foot depth intervals in the excavation. If the spill area appears to be large, then several excavations may be dug and sampled. For budgeting purposes, we have assumed that three areas will be identified for soil sampling and that one excavation will be dug in each area. In addition, we assume that a total of 15 samples will be sent to a lab for volatile organices analysis. All sampling, storing, and shipping protocals that CDM presently uses for EPA Superfund work will be followed to ensure unco=romised test results. Page 3 of 7 CAMP DRESSER&WKEE HftiC, F, C TASK 4.3. CONSTRUCT MONITORING WELLS In the event that contaminant spill{s} are identified in the airport area and that the soil gas survey indicates the possibility of associated groundwater contamination, then several groundwater monitoring wells should be constructed in those areas identified by the soil gas survey. water samples from these wells will indicate the magnitude of groundwater contamination in the area, which will assist in designing the most appropriate and cost-effective mitigation program. i f The water table in the airport area is between 200 and 250 feet below ground surface. Monitoring wells, if constructed in the airport area, will be drilled to a depth of about 250 to 300 feet (50 feet below the water table). They would be drilled by reverse-circulation method and completed with a gravel-packed, 4-inch diameter steel casing. Prior to beginning drilling operations, CDM will formalize the design and then prepare plans and specifications for the City. CDM anticipates that the City will contract for the drilling that will be e required. Once a driller is selected by the City, CDM will monitor construction, log and sample drill cuttings, and will provide the final casing design. CDM will provide full-time monitoring services during well construction and sampling. CDM will collect a water sample from each developed well and send it to a California- or EPA-certified lab for analysis of volatile organics. For budgetary purposes, CDM is assuming that design and construction services will be required for the completion of four wells drilled, completed, and sampled to a depth of 300 feet. We also assume that one water sample will be analyzed in a lab for each of these four wells. TASK 5. PREPARE FINAL REPORT E I ti Using information compiled in the first three tasks and the data collected and evaluated during the field investigation, CDM will i Page 4 of 7 Es FE I prepare a final report which summarizes the hydrogeologic setting, identifies spill sites, and describes the limits of contamination by organic solvents. The report will also recommend how the contaminated soil and groundwater (if found) can most efficiently be cleaned up. TASK 6. TECHNICAL REVIEW The objective of this task is to ensure that the analyses performed in this study are done correctly and that the most appropriate techniques are used to generate and evaluate new data. This type of review is particularly important in contamination investigations where the data collected may be used later as evidence to defend the City in a legal action. 2. The responsibilities of OWNER as described in Section 3 of said Agreement are amended and supplemented as follows: OWNER shall provide labor and safety equipment to open and protect manholes and/or to operate valves and hydrants as required by the ENGINEER. OWNER shall examine all studies, reports, sketches, drawings, specifications, proposals and other documents presented by ENGINEER, obtain advice of an attorney, insurance counselor and other consultants as he deems appropriate for such examination and render in writing decisions pertaining thereto within a reasonable time so as not to delay the services of ENGINEER. OWNER shall provide such legal, accounting, insurance and other counseling services as may be required for the project. OWNER shall furnish approvals and permits from all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Project and such approvals and consents from others as may be necessary for completion of the Project. Page 5 of 7 CAMP DRESSER&WKEE INO, 3. The time periods for the performance of ENGINEER's services as set forth in Section 4 of said Agreement are amended and supplemented as follows: The two phases of the investigation will require 7 months to complete. The first phase consists of the first three tasks and will be completed within 6 weeks of the Notice to Proceed, at which time the interim technical memorandum will be submitted to the City for review. After the City has reviewed the interim technical memorandum, and with their written approval, CDM will begin the second phase of work which consists of all field work and the preparation of the final report. The field investigation portion of phase 2 will require 3 months to complete. The lab results for soil and groundwater will require a 4- to 8-week turn-around time. The final report will be submitted to the City 4 weeks after the lab results are received by CDM. 4. The method of payment for services rendered by ENGINEER shall be as set forth below: Table I summarizes, by task, the estimated costs associated with conducting this investigation for the city of Redlands, exclusive of drilling costs. The total estimated cost for the two phases of the investigation, exclusive of the drilling costs, is $108,713. The not-to-exceed cost of the first phase is $19,804. Assuming all field work is done, as outlined in Task 4, the estimated cost of completing the second phase of the investigation is $88,509. CDM's costs were estimated using raw labor and expense multipliers. CDM will invoice the City using our standard raw labor multiplier of 3.05. Expenses and other direct costs will be invoiced at cost plus 10 percent. The project will be performed on a not-to-exceed basis. Payment for work done will be made monthly by the city of Redlands, on a time and expenses basis, upon receipt of proper invoices by CDM. If certain field work is not deemed necessary after the completion of the interim technical memorandum, then the associated labor and direct cost items will be correspondingly adjusted.
