On October 31, 1968, the City of Bell Gardens and the County of Los Angeles (County) entered into a lease agreement for the property at the northeast corner of Garfield Avenue and Florence Place, where the County agreed to construct a 5,000 square -foot building to house the Bell Gardens Library.
On October 19, 1993, the lease was renewed with new terms, extending it for 25 years, with an option for an additional 25 -year extension, which was also approved and executed by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. That lease expired in October 2018.
A new lease agreement has been prepared which, upon execution, will extend the lease through June of 2038. The leasing of the grounds shall be free of charge.
CONCLUSION:
The Bell Gardens Library offers serval benefits including access to resources, cost efficiency, educational support, community engagement, digital access, and technology, among others. It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution, approving a lease agreement between the City of Bell Gardens and the County of Los Angeles, for the collective continued public library services benefits that enhance the quality of life for residents.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The presence of a County library branch is a valuable community asset. The City can leverage county funding and resources to maintain and expand library services without
bearing the full financial burden, allowing high -quality services while keeping costs manageable. The leasing of the site shall be free of charge. The Bell Gardens Library shall be responsible for all utility services associated with the leased premises, including but not limited to water, sewer, trash collection, pest control, telephone, electricity, and gas, as needed for the operation and use of the premises.

Failure to provide written notice of cancellation or any change in Required Insurance may constitute a material breach of the Lease, in the sole discretion of the Tenant, upon which the Tenant may suspend or terminate this Lease.
D. Failure to Maintain Insurance
Landlord's failure to maintain or to provide acceptable evidence that it maintains the Required Insurance shall constitute a material breach of the Lease, upon which County immediately may withhold payments due to Landlord, and/or suspend or terminate this Lease. The County may purchase the Required Insurance, and without further notice to Landlord, deduct the premium cost from sums due to Landlord or pursue Landlord reimbursement.
E. Insurer Financial Ratings

The County will refer GAIN participants by job category to Landlord. b. Solicitation of Consideration. It is improper for any County officer, employee, or agent to solicit consideration in any form from a landlord. A landlord shall not offer or give, either directly or through an intermediary, consideration in any form to a County officer, employee or agent who has had any involvement in the procurement, negotiation, consummation, administration, or management of a lease.
Landlord shall immediately report any attempt by a County officer, employee, or agent to solicit such improper consideration. The report shall be made to the County Auditor -Controller's Employee Fraud Hotline at (800) 544-6861.
Landlord hereby represents and warrants that it has not provided, and will not provide, any financial benefits to any County official, employee or agent who has had any involvement in the procurement, negotiation, consummation, administration, or management of this Lease. Landlord hereby agrees that if it violates any of the terms of this section, then the County may declare this Lease HOA.104587290.5
13
null and void, and the County reserves the right to exercise any and all other remedies available under applicable law.
c. Landlord Assignment.
(i)
Landlord may assign, transfer, mortgage, hypothecate or encumber Landlord's right, title and interest in and to this Lease or any portion thereof (including the right to receive rental payments but excluding its duties and obligations hereunder), and Landlord may execute any and all instruments providing for the payment of Base Rent directly to an assignee or transferee, but only if the conditions set forth in this section are met. (ii) Any document or agreement purporting to assign, transfer, mortgage, hypothecate or encumber Landlord's right, title and interest in and to this Lease, or any portion thereof, as security for the Landlord's obligation to repay any monetary obligation, is hereinafter referred to as a "Security Agreement." Any Security Agreement which is executed without full compliance with the requirements of this section shall be void. (iii) Each assignee or transferee under the Security Agreement shall certify and agree in writing that such assignee or transferee has read and is familiar with the requirements of Sections 5950-5955 of California Government Code, which prohibits the offer or sale of any security constituting a fractional interest in this Lease or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent of the Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have the right to encumber the Property with CMBS (commercial mortgage -backed securities) financing or other traditional real estate financing. However, Landlord may not encumber the Property through any type of bond financing vehicle, including but not limited to certificate of participation financing.
(iv) Violation by Landlord of the provisions of Section 5951 of the California Government Code will constitute a material breach of this Lease, upon which the Tenant may impose damages in an amount equal to the greater of $500,000 or 10% of the aggregate principal portion of all rental payments payable by the Tenant during the entire Term of this Lease, it being expressly agreed that the aforesaid amount shall be imposed as liquidated damages, and not as a forfeiture or penalty. It is further specifically agreed that the aforesaid amount is presumed to be the amount of damages sustained by reason of any such violation, because from the circumstances and nature of the violation it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to fix actual damages. In addition, the Tenant may exercise or pursue any other right or remedy it may have under this Lease or applicable law. (v) Landlord shall give Tenant written notice and a copy of each and every assignment, transfer, hypothecation or encumbrance of Landlord's interest in this Lease and any instrument relating thereto (including, but not limited to, instruments providing for the payment of Base Rent directly to an assignee or transferee) at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date thereof.
HOA.104587290.5
14
(vi) Landlord shall not furnish any information concerning Tenant or the subject matter of this Lease (including, but not limited to, offering memoranda, financial statements, economic and demographic information, and legal opinions rendered by the office of counsel for the Tenant) to any person or entity, except with Tenant's prior written consent. Landlord shall indemnify, defend, and hold Tenant and its officers, agents, and employees harmless from and against all claims and liability alleged to arise from the inaccuracy or incompleteness of any information furnished by Landlord in violation of this section.
(vii) The provisions of this section shall be binding upon and applicable to the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Whenever in this section Landlord is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include Landlord's successors or assigns, and all covenants and agreements by or on behalf of Landlord herein shall bind and apply to Landlord's successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. d. Smoking in County Facilities. The Surgeon General of the United States has concluded that passive smoke exposure is the third leading cause of preventable death in the United States. The United States Environmental Protection Agency has found second-hand smoke to be a known carcinogen. It is recognized that the County has a responsibility to establish, maintain and promote a healthful and safe working environment and to reduce health and safety risks of its employees and the public at large. Tobacco smoke is a hazard to the health of County employees and the general public and represents an annoyance which should be regulated and banned in all county facilities to the end that air quality in all such facilities be improved for the preservation and improvement of the health of all County employees and the public. Therefore, to the greatest extent possible, the rights and comfort of all employees shall be respected. Reasonable effort shall be made to provide smokers a place to smoke in areas open to the sky or otherwise located outside County facilities and, except as provided under Los Angeles County, California - Code of Ordinances Chapter 2.126 ("LAMC 2.126"), all portions of County -owned facilities and all portions of facilities leased by or from the County, which areas are not open to the sky, shall be designated as "no smoking" areas.
Smoking, including the use of electronic smoking devices, shall be prohibited in the following areas of County facilities: (1) Within 50 feet of any operable entry or exit door or operable window of any County building and within 25 feet of any access ramp or handicap path; (2) Within any County parking lot, parking structure, or parking garage, whether enclosed or open to the sky; or (3) Within any driving range and eating area, including outdoor eating areas, of any County golf course.
International no -smoking signs and other appropriate signs which designate no - smoking areas shall be clearly, sufficiently, and conspicuously posted in every room, building or other place so covered by LAMC 2.126. The manner of such posting, including the wording, size, color, and place of posting, whether on the walls, doors, tables, counters, stands or elsewhere, shall be at the discretion of the building proprietor so long as clarity, sufficiency and conspicuousness are apparent in communicating the intent. (Los Angeles County, California - Code of Ordinances Chapter 2.126.)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: John P. Ramirez, AICP, Interim Community Development Director SUBJECT: Consideration of Approval of a Second Amendment to Professional Services Agreement Between the City of Bell Gardens and WSP USA Inc. for Equitable Community Revitalization Grant Work for 5600-5636 Shull Street (Former Berk Oil Site)
DATE: March 24, 2025
RECOMMENDATION
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council:
1 Determine the action exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3); and
2. Adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement ("Agreement") between the City and WSP USA Inc. (WSP; formerly Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions, Inc.).
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Equitable Communities Revitalization Grant ("ECRG") administered by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control ("DTSC") provides financial assistance to communities through reimbursable grants to investigate and clean up brownfield sites through a competitive process. The City of Bell Gardens ("City") applied for said grant(s) and was awarded the funds from the ECRG to remediate the former Berk Oil site located at 5600-5636 Shull Street Site ("Site") for residential purposes. The City's application to reimburse eligible environmental cleanup activities was approved by the DTSC's Office of Brownfields on June 6, 2022, for a period of 24 months. Extensions to use the funding was granted for up to an additional 14 months, or February 28, 2026, to ensure a complete site ready for redevelopment. The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board ("Water Board") is the lead agency working with DTSC and the City to provide oversight of the cleanup activities.
The awarded amount is to address the historically disproportionate impacts to communities and to revitalize land for public benefit within the Site. In doing so, equitable development is promoted by advancing economic opportunity, preventing displacement, increasing connectivity, developing healthy and safe communities, and supporting environmental justice.
On July 18, 2022, the City authorized a Development Agreement with WPH Holdings, LLC for affordable rental housing and affordable condominiums for sale on the Site.
To address the City's needs and the ECRG requirements, on August 1, 2022, a Request for Proposals ("RFP") was released. On October 24, 2022, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with WSP USA Inc. (formerly Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions, Inc.) ("WSP") to be the environmental consultant for the ECRG Grant. After execution of the WSP Professional Services Agreement, the Water Board, the lead agency overseeing the remediation of the Site, requested additional remediation and associated sampling and testing to be completed, specifically Soil Vapor Extraction ("SVE"), which is a remediation process for volatile contaminants.
On April 8, 2024, staff recommended a First Amendment to the Master Professional Services Agreement that revised the scope of work, extended the Term to December 31, 2025, and updated the Not -to -Exceed Sum of $829,907 by $800,000 for a new Not -to - Exceed Sum of $1,629,907.
Given the extended grant term and additional work and testing required, staff recommends the proposed Second Amendment to the Master Professional Services Agreement that would revise the scope of work to include:
• Installation of four (4) groundwater monitoring wells and nine (9) soil vapor monitoring probes pursuant to the Water Board request.
• Quarterly groundwater and soil vapor sampling and reporting pursuant to the Water Board request.
• Preparation and review of bid specifications and plans to assist the City with soil remediation contract selection (the City rejected bids from the first event as non- responsive).
• Oversight of the soil remediation contract and additional fees due to delays in project schedule.
The Second Amendment to the Master Professional Services Agreement would extend the Term of the Agreement to August 30, 2026, and would increase the Not -to -Exceed Sum of $1,629,907 by an additional $650,000 for a new Not -to -Exceed Sum of $2,279,907. The funds are 100% reimbursable by the ECRG.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Guidelines Section No. 15060(c)(3), this report is categorically exempt as organizational or administrative
activities of governments since no direct or indirect physical changes in the environment would result and the activity is not defined as a project.
CONCLUSION
WSP has provided valuable consulting services to the City and has a deep understanding of the historical and proposed Site activity. Based on their work to date, and the additional work and testing required to continue helping the City coordinate the physical remediation of the Site, staff recommends the City Council adopt the resolution approving a Second Amendment to the Master Professional Services Agreement with WSP.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the Second Amendment would have no fiscal impact to the City since Site hazardous waste cleanup activities are funded in full by the ECRG.

Environmental Remediation Consultation

Proposal
Environmental Remed'iation Consultation for Former Berk OUII Site
1.0 Technical Proposal
On behalf of the City of Bell Gardens (City), the Wood Enviir.nment & infrastructure Soluti ns, inc. (Wood) team of highly qualified staff has orked together with the State of California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DISC), the United States Envir«.nmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the National (Development Council (NDC) to provide environmental technical support services at the former Berk Oil and Pacific (Metal Craft (PMC) site (site or subject property) since 2011.
No other consulting firm has more hands-on„ direct experience in understanding and evaluating site conditions, identifying and addressing environmental data gaps, and evaluating work 'necessary to prepare the site for redevelopment. The key technical staff identified in this submittal include the primary authors of the Revised Supplemental Site Assessment and Human Health Risk Assessment Report (SSA Report) dated July 13, 2022, whhich forms the basis Of proposed site remed°uation to allow for mixed use (commercial/industrial and residential) redevel.pment of this idle and unproductive property in the City.
W+od has a solid understanding of the site wrk to be conducted under the City's Equitable Community Revitalization Grant (ECRG) (being administered by DISC. We have provided services to State agencies under similar contracts, which have included adherence with grant reporting requirements and compliance with small businesses and disadvantaged business enterprises. Our work on previous grant - funded projects has also included soliciting subcontractor services under California prevailing age determinations. Our submittal, prepared in response to the City's Request for Proposal (II.FP), is organized as follows:
Section 1 describes our (project approach, management of ECRG tasks, and roadmap to project success.
Section 2 identifies key Wood staff resources and describes their anticipated project roles and relevant experience.
Sectir"n 3 describes four projects Wood has completed involving working with State regulators under grant funding. These projects have involved preparation of remediation planning and contracting documents (including public outreach and Selection of qualified subcontractors) and eventual site closure/redevelopment.
Section 4 pr.'vides our proposed staffing rates and a cost estimate based on experience working with California regulators at similar sites.
Section 5 notes any exceptions or additions to the City's contract, Wood is prepared to begin ECRG implementation upon the City's authorization. it 1 l l ecut' n e Sum ar'y'
in 2022, Wood cimpleted the SSA Report, which summarized (historical and recent investigation results, included a human health risk assessment (HHRA), and proposed remedial actions intended to allow for unrestricted reuse of the former Berk affil site. The proposed remedial actions included removal of shallow soils containing lead or benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) at concentrations exceeding residential cleanup goals. The SSA also noted that some form of vapor intrusion (VB) mitigation -likely would be needed as part of site Proposal No, 22PR0PG0VT.02'82 l August 2022 Page 2 of 23 wood.
Proposal
Environmental Remed'lation Consultation for Former Berk Oil Site redevelopment due to the presence of volatile organic compounds (V Cs) in soil gas at concentrations exceeding potentially applicable screening levels. Such mitigation might include vapor barriers and/or sub -slab venting beneath new buildings and woulld involve long-term operation, maintenance, and monitoring (OIM&M) to verify the effectiveness of the measures. Other alternative VI mitigation measures were presented including fscuised soil vapor extraction (SVIE) or alternative construction methods (e.g., raised building foundations or below -grade 'parking). While these measures were discussed with DISC staff, staff from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board ('RWQCB) now overseeing the site work under the ECRG may have other requirements for site redevelopment.
Wood its ready to assist the City with continued environmental investiigation, remediation planning, and remedy implementation to support the City"s plans for site redevelopment. Our proposed approach and scope of work are described in the following subsections. 2 M oa lar tai S,po °f k
Scheduling will be a key component t the successful implementation of ECRG activities due to the short duration of the ECRG (which expires June 29, 2024). Because the RWQCB is new to the site, Woods historical knowledge and firsthand experience with site conditions win be extremely important when addressing the RWQCB°s questions and requests and in keeping their focus on site remediation and closure.
Another key component to the suuccessfuV implementation of IECRG activities is availability of a highly qualified and experienced project team with availlable resources to implement ECRG-funded activities within the available schedule. As described in this proposal, our approaclh to successful project cmpletion involves identifying and assigning technical staff with 'previous experience at the site and/or with successful experience with similar projects.
1. Sc pp ,1 1, 'Ial' ork
This section describes the scope of work Wood expects to complete for the project. Subsections 1.3.1 through 1.3.7 describe how we plan to accomplish Tasks 1 through 7 listed in the RFP. Based on data collected to date and presented in the SSA Report, we expect site remediation will include excavation and off -site disposal of shallow soil impacted by lead and/or BaP, which willll provide conditions suitable for unrestricted site use in relation to soil. The SSA Report recommended installation of vapor bafflers and sub -slab venting systems beneath new buildings with slab -on -grade construction to mitigate VI concerns associated with VOCs in soil gas. The RWQCB has provided preliminary input that it may require SVE or other more active form of VII mitigation prior to site redevelopment. Based on initial discussi ' n with the RWQCB and depending on the results of Tasks 1 through 3 below, site remediation may also include design, construction, and Operations, Maintenance & IMoniitoring (OIM&IM) of an SVE system to reduce concentrations of VOCs in soil gas prior to redevelopment. Remedy performance monitoring and verification (SVE system monitoring and rebound testing, and/or monitoring of any long-term VI mitigation 'measures) will (likely be required and may extend' beyond the period of grant funding availability.
In addition to the specific tasks outlined in the RFP, our experience with similar projects indicates other tasks will become necessary during the project. Potential) additional information requirements from the RWQCB are discussed at the end of this section.

Einviroinrental Remediation Consultation for Former V3erlk OH Site
1.31 Task 1 ,,,,, Data Ga, identification
This task win involve review of available site information in context of the City's redevelopment goalls aired plans and identification of data gaps that will need to be addressed prior to or along with site redeve&olpment. Based on information summarized in the SSA Report and on input provided to date by the RWQCB, we have identified two general data gap categories.
The first category comprises data gaps with a direct bearing on short-term remedy selection and design.
These are data gaps that iroeed to be addressed to support final selection, design, and implementation of remedial actions to enable redevelopment of the site. Data gaps identified in this category irncdude the:
Lateral and vertical extent of shanow soli containing Vead or IPaIP at concentrations exceeding residential cleanup goals in a few specific areas of the site Clhe nical and physical characteristics of material used to backfill prior excavatiw ns at the site and its Ipotentiai impact on site redevelopment pllans
(Impact of current soil vapor conditions on site development pllans (VII concerns) These remedy selection and design data gaps will be evaluated and addressed during Tasks 2 and 3 described below.
The second category comprises data gaps that will need to be addressed to complete site characterization to support decisions regarding whether longer -term monitoring or management of site conditions will be necessary. Based on initial iinput from the RWQCB, we have identified current groundwater conditions as a data gap in this category. Based on that input, we anticipate additional data will be needed to characterize the:
Current soil vapor conditions at depths greater than previously sampled Presence and extent of shaUUsw/perched groundwater beneath the site IPresence and concentrations of VOCs in shallow/perched groundwater and the next deeper (regionally extensive) groundwater zone
Potential presence and concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TV'l-I) in groundwater because of historical site activities and/or of known release of petroleum products at the nearby Vinvaie Terminal
These site characterization data gaps will involve field investigation and (laboratory analysis pursuant to an RWQCB-approved work plan to obtain additional data to characterize soil, soil gas, and groundwater conditions at the site. The scope of work for this task will be defined in (part based on the discussions with the RWQCII3 in Task 2 described below. Brune of the data collected as part of this task may be used during remedy selection and design.

1.3.3 Task 3 - Preparation of a RAP
Wood has prepared numerous Remedial Action Plan (RAPs) and other remedy selection documents under RWQCB, DISC, EPA Brownfuelds, and other regulatory 'programs. IFor this project, Wood will consider applicable RWQCB requirements and relevant guidance d«cuiments to tailor and prepare a RAP for project -specific conditions. Althouglh for some projects a feasibility study (FS) may be prepared as a separate document to support remedy evaluation and selection prior to a RAP, we expect that the RWQCB will agree these steps can be combined into a single document (TRAP) to expedite work within the period of grant funding availability.
IFor this project, our familiarity with site c.nditions and °unf«nmation in the SSA Report in.!icate that excavation and off -site disposal of soil likely will be a preferred remedy for shallow soil impacted by Vead or BaP, and SVE or a similar method lilkely will be the preferred remedy for VOCs in soil gas. Excavation and SVE are both considered "presumptive remedies" by the EPA and other regulatory agencies. As such, they can be selected for use in a project without the level of detailled analysis and justification that may be required for other technologies. We have used this "presumptive remedy" approach on other projects with the RWQCB and expect to follow a similar approach to streamline tlhe RAP for the site.
We anticipate the "i P wUIIV be submitted for public review after the IRWQCB"s initial review (see Task 4 below). The RAP will be considered "finale" once the pulblic review processes is complete, after which implementation of the proposed remedy can begin.
1.3.4 Task 4 - Public Outreach Assistance
Public outreach through DISC and RWQCB is an integral part of the States efforts to investigate and clean up hazardous waste sit s throughout California. Clear concise documents are essential to establishing a two-way communication process between state agencies and tlhe public. Wood has a great deal of experience in assisting in the preparation of pulbtlic outreach documents, including those required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
Upon R QCB approval, the draft RAP will be submitted for public review. Based on our previous exlperience providing public outreach assistance to DISC or the RWQCB, Wood anticipates that the public participation documents for the project will include:
• Community Survey
• Fact Sheets
Wood will retain Printing Resources, a third -party vendor, to develop a mailing list of local community members in the site area, and elected «fficials and other mandatory organizations. A community survey and fact sheet will be provided to individuals and businesses within a 1A -miles radius of the site in both English and Spanish. Following the typical 30 -day publliic review period, Wood will assist the RWQCB with preparation of a Response to Comments letter. The Response to Comments letter will be returned to all individuals/organization that provided c,s ments on the draft RAP, Depending on the number of public comments received and the Ievei of public support for site redevelopment, the RWQCB may choose t. hold a public meeting or community workshop to solicit additional feedbaclk from the community. Although Wood des not anticipate this level of effort will be needed, our team also has experience in meeting with and 'presenting to community members and elected officials in both informal and more formal settings and has participated in outreach efforts in low- I - o. 2 PROPQy"1'.O2'82 I August 2

Following IRWQCI3 approval of the "final" RAP, Wood will begin (preparing design docurnnernts and plans to support: soil excavation activities and construction and operation of VV barriiers and/or SVE (depending on the final selected remedy for VOCs in soil gas). Implementatin of the selected remedy wiillll consist of several phases, including design, construction, sta -up, OM d, post-remediati.n rsniitoring, decommissioning, and restoration. IPrelliminary (30%), intermediate (60%), and pre -final (90%) plans will be prepared for review.

Concurrent with preparing design documents and plans, Wood's construction management services can also assist the City with preparation of bid specifications, bid evaluation, and contractor selection and procurement. Selection of remediiation subcontractors is open to competitive bid pursuant to IECIF G requirements. Wood will prepare standard specifications that will encurage open and reasonable competition by establishing measurable project performance and quality levels (e.g., detailed list of characteristics, such as: sizes, physical dimensions, weights, types and grades of materials, standard of workmarnslhip,, bask design). The selected remed'uation contractor(s) will assist Wood with obtaining permits (Task 6) and preparing additional supporting documents, such as traffic control, air monitoring, and health and safety plans. Further, the contractor will demonstrate compliance with State regulations for working with lead impacted soil (hazardous waste management) before remediation activities begin„

(Design and construction plans will also need to consider proposed property redevelopment plans from the City and/or Ibuilder. A process hazard analysis will be (performed to evaluate potential process hazards and prop se recommendations for managing risks associated with those hazards. Wowd can assist the City with managing any system installation, beginning with (preparation of initial permit applications (SCAQMD and appropriate local agencies such as County Building, IPlanning, Health, and Fire (Departments) through contractor selection, construction observation and project coordination, inspection, and start-up. Once a system is constructed and operational, Wood can assist with OP;"i&IM, performance monitoring, optimization, and verification and reporting of results. When the system has achieved its intended results, we can provide decommissioning and site restoration as needed and will prepare completion documents and final report(s) as described for Task 7.
1.3.7 Task 7 - Prepare Final Report
A construction completion report will be prepared once all physical construction, operations, and verification sampling required for site cleanup have been completed. Final site closure documents may include results of post-remediation confirmati+n samples and a post-rermediation HHRA to demonstrate the residual chemical concentrations do not pose a risk to human health or the environment under expected future site conditions. The final report(s) will be prepared toward the end of the ECRG timeframe.
The final go& of any remediation project is to seek and obtain "closures" from the agency providing regulatory wversight. Wood anticipates the RWQCB may issue a No IFurther Action (NFA) determination for Bang and lead in soil. However, an NFA determination for residuall VOCs in soil gas may be not feasible within the ECRG timeframe. Thus, a post construction O'i %i&M plan may be necessary for continuing VU mitigation.
Additional reporting likely willll be necessary pursuant to permit requirements. The City, as permit holder, will be responsible for confiirming that conditions and monitoring requirements of all permits were followed. Wood anticipates that the selected remediation contractor(s) rill prepare firaD reports documenting monitoring and compliance with permit conditions on behalf of the City.
Key Uncertainties
In addition to identification of specific technical data gaps in Task 1, we expect to identify more general questions and uncertainties that the City and RWQCB will need to resolve to allow the project to proceed on schedule. Iotential uncertainties we Ihave identified during initial communications with the RWQCB and development of this proposal include:

Although achieving NFA status (prior to redevelopment would be ideal, it may not be feasible within the schedule for the ECRG. Removall of VOCs from fine-grained soils (such as those present at the site) using SVE typically requires many months, and often years,, of SVIE operation. In addition, several months of post-SVE monitoring and rebound testing are typically required before the RWQCU3 will consider granting NIFA status. Other technologies (such as deep excavation or in situ thermal treatment) might remove VCs from soil more quickly once begun but will require more time for planning and permitting and/or will be prohibitively expensive. As indicated in the SSA Report, sw me form of VII mitigation likely will be needed as part of site redevelopment. VV mitigation can be accomplished, however, without a site being granted NFA status. Such mitigation might include vapor barriers and/or sub -slab venting beneath new buildings and involves long-term OM&M to verify the effectiveness of the measures.
Alternative building construction using ground floor parking garages (podium parlking) or bellow - grade parlkiunq garages could be used to address VV concerns by increasing ventilation. The City and the RWQCB will need to agree on an approach that achieves as much remediation as feasible within the term of the ECRG, but also recognize the potential need for ongoing measures to maintain protective conditions after that time.
hat cllleanup g , ais f « or V ) Cs imm s iIII gas will be g ;° d on by the FM IS . nd the Ciiity'i' As noted in the SSA Report, DTSC and EPA currently apply different assumptions in calculation of risks associated with VI of VOCs from soil gas to indoor air. Consequently„ cleanup goals fw r soil gas may be more stringent under II..PA guidelines than under DTSC guidelines. The RWQCB has indicated that it will applly EPA guidelines as a default. As an alternative, hoever, it may be possible to develop site - specific cleanup goals for soil gas that account for the design and use of future on -site buildings and provide a level of protection satisfactory to the RWQCB, DTSC, and the Ciity. The process and timing for establishment of cleanup goals and mitigation measures for soil gas will need to be agreed on prior to selection .f a remedy for soil gas at the site. (hat specific land uses and Ibuuil w in designs ar , the City c M nsidermn f r m' site re;«!evedoppme t? This is an important question because some types of building construction and use (e.g., podium and below -grade parking beneath new buildings, or use of ground floor space only for commercial purposes) may affect the extent of remediation required and the need for additional longer -term mitigation measures to address potential future VU rislks to site occupants.
4. ow mwloch ad «!!iti « r all ,,,ork r. ill the II"-:WQCB re u' r ' The SSA (Report and previous phases of work at the site have been done under the oversight of DTSC. The RWQCB, however, is the lead agency for work to be conducted under the ECRG. Although these two agencies work to protect human health and the environment, their requirements and approaches differ, and the RWQCB may request work that has not been required by DTSC. The type(s) and arns,unt of .additional work requested by the RWQCB, and the timing of that work in relation to other work needed to support site redevelopment, is not currently known, but will need to be identified and agreed on by the City and the RWQCB.
We will (begin the review and communications to address these general questions as part wf Tasks 1 and 2 but expect this work will continue beyond the specified scope, effort, and schedule for thrrse tasks.

3.0 Prior Related Firm Experience
Wood has the in-house resources to perform or provide all of the technical services associated with the site redevel«!piment project tasks described in the RFP. Wood has been ,corking at the B-rk Oil site since 2011 and assisting the City with project redevelopment planning since that time. Bellow, we provide a summary of our experience w rk at the site, along ". ith descriptions of similar projects recently completed in southern California representative of the scope of work outlined in the RFP.
Berk Oil and PMC Pr perties, City y f BeII Gardens, Californi Wood has completed three significant site characterization and redevelopment planning projects at the site since 2012. These included:
2012 Targeted Site investigation implemented on behalf of the City through a DISC grant 2019 Site Characterization implemented on behalf of the City through a IDTSC grant. 2022 SSA Report and HHRA implemented on behalf of the City through an EPA grant (this investigation was funded through two IEPA Brownfields grants being administered by NDC, a non- profit 501 O3)
Berk Oill conducted asphalt mixing and oil distribution operations in the western portion of the site from approximately 1965 through 1989. PMC occupied the eastern portion of the site and conducted metal and plastic parts fabrication between 19 and the early 1990s. Previous site activities included use of underground storage tanks (USTs) and aboveground storage tanks, metal) furnaces, and degreasers. In 1988, during excavation of impacted soil, a large quantity of asphalt -tar sludge„ oil - soaked concrete and debris, and several buried full oil drums were uncovered inside the f rmer steam cleaning sump.
Chemical analysis of soil revealed relatively high c.ncentrations of VOCs (primarily triichloroethene) and TIPH. A total of 1,423 tons of impacted soil were excavated and transported offsite.
Reportedly, not all impacted soil was excavated, and the former steam Cleaning sump excavation was p rtiaVlly backfilled with ssme of the impacted soil. Since the early 1990s, the site has remained vacant and unused because of remaining
contamination and unknown
enviironmentall conditions.
Relevant Scope Items:

• Cleanup and
Redevelopment Evaluation
During the 2012 and 2019 projects, Diana Sasser, NDC (209) 483-9863 Wood (and our predecessor company
AIVIEC) was retained by IDTSC to
imlpllement additional site
characterization through a community -wide Brownfiellds assessment grant that DTSC received from IEPA.
Wood prepared work plans to characterize soil, soil gas, and groundwater conditions at the site using innovative tools and techniques to expedite the site investigation. The site characterization and investigations were impllemented to assess how environmental conditions associated with current or former land uses may affect redevelopment plans for future reuse of the site, specificalliy for proposed PROPGOVT,02.

In 2022, Wood completed the SSA Report to evalluate mixed -use devellopment of the site, including residential development. Soil, soil gas, and groundwater conditions were evaluated using the same innovative tools and techniques. Results of the passive and active soil gas sampling, cone penetration testing, membrane interface hydraulic profile tool direct -read monitoring, and grab groundwater samplles did not show significant VOC or TPH impacts it soil or groundwater at the site. However, to support site redevelopment decisions, an IHHIRA was performed to evaluate both commercial/industrial and residential (mixed) land use and calculate potential health risks posed by chemical of potential concern (COPCs).
Results of the HHRA demonstrated that exposure of future site occupants under both residential and co mercial/industrial reuse scenarios to current soil and soil gas conditions would result in an elevated noncancer hazard and cancer risk. Thus, a Response Acton would be required to allow for mixed -use site redevelopment. Lased n l• HRA calculations, the soil cleanup goals for these COPCs included the following:
BaP toxicity equivalent quotient in soil: 0.90 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) for residential and industrial/commercial use
Lead in soil: 80 mg/kg for residential use and 320 mg/kg for industrial/commercial use The SSA Report identified the estimated areas of lead and/or BaP soil excavation that, when removed, would allow for unrestricted use of site soil.
Results of the HHRA indicated risk management would be necessary f potential vapor intrusion beneath new stab -on• -grade building construction. Because soil gas concentrations are relatively to ,; and dispersed throughout the site, Wood recommended a physical (barrier t. prevent vapor intrusion from impacted media into new construction. Results and recornmendation frorn the SSA Report were used by the City to obtain the ECRG,,AII (project work was completed within the grant fundiing's deliverable schedule and authorized budget.
Pathway gh Schoc.„I Indleperdle Studies, Lyn .odl, C rni, Wood was retained by the Lynwood Unified
School District (LUSD) to provide environmental
technical support services to assist L..USD and their
consultant DelTerra with the Pathway High School
independent Studies project, which included site
evaluation and (planning to install modular
classroom buildings on an underutilized 'portion of Hosier Middle School. Wood evaluated potential soill contamination that may have resulted from the use/application of lead -based paint (LBP) and organochllorine pesticides (©CPs) on and around former site buildings, and its impact on 'potential site redevelopment plans. The site was undeveloped or agricultural land through the 1940s when it was developed with buildings that initially were used for storage of military supplies. It was sulbsequently used by LUST) for storage of school supplies, These buildings also included a maintenance shop for minor auto repair and storage of related tools, equipment, and supplies. A 2,000 -gallon gasoline UST and fuel dispenser, which had been operated as part of the vehicle maintenance activities, were removed from the site in 1989, The site buildings were demolished in early 2015 after asbestos containing materials and LBP abatement work had been completed.

Proposal
(Environmental Remediation Consultation for IFormer Berk Oil Site Wood collected soil samples in and around the former site building fo»tpriints as part of the lead and OCIP investigation. The soul sample results were compared to appropriate DISC or IEPA soil screening levels for residential use. Lead and dieldrin were the only COPCs detected in soil) at concentrations exceeding screening levels.
Wood assisted LUSD in negotiating a School Cleanup Agreement (IDoclket Number HISA-FY15/16-141) with DTSC to enable IDTSC to oversee further environmental investigation and removal action (RA) at the site. Wood subsequently prepared a Revised IRAW on behalf of LUSD to address lead- and dieldrin-impacted soil at the site. The IRAW identified and screened Iw!u, alternatives that could best achieve the project Removal Acton Objectives (RAOs) allowing for the proposed site redevelopment and unrestricted reuse. Based win the evaluation and associated estimates of cost, excavation of lead- and diieldrin-impacted soils followed by transportation of the impacted soil to an appropriate, permitted off -site facility for treatment/disposal was identified as the preferred and
recommended RA alternative. The RAW also included
supplemental plans for the safe and successful imple ° entation of the proposed RA, including:
• QA/QC Plan
• Dust IMonitoring and Mitigation Plan
• Decontamination Plan
Relevant Scope Items:
• Site Investigation
• Cleanup Planning

Public Outreach
• Preparation of Bid
Specification
• Selection of Remediation

• Closure Documentation
with NFA Approval
DTSC, acting as the Responsible Agency, approved the RAW for public review (pursuant to CIEQA. Wood assisted DISC with preparation of a Community Profile, Community Survey, and Public Notice documents.
Following the public comment period, DISC approved the IRAW for implementation.
Wood prepared Technical Specifications to assist LUSD hi retaining a qualified contractor to implement the approved RA. Subsequently, Wood provided as -needed construction oversight assistance and collected confirmation soil samples. Lead- and dieldrin-impacted soils were safely excavated and removed from the site and no significant field variances/deviations occurred during the RA activities. Confirmation soil sample results demonstrated the impacted soils were removed from the site and residual concentrations of COPCs, where detected, were below site -specific screening levels. The excavation areas were subsequently backfilled with imported fill material obtained from a DTSC-approved source.
Completion of the RA and subsequent laboratory analyses demonstrated the project RAOs were achieved.
Subsequently, Wood prepared a Remedial Action Completion Report (RACR), which requested that DISC concur with the recommendation that an NFA determination for the site was warranted. DISC approved the RACR and concurred with Wood's request for NFA status for the site. The classroom buildings were ins' M Oiled in 2019. Wood completed the RAW and RACR on schedule, and through close collaboration with LUSD and DISC representatives, saved an estimated $50,000 off our original projected project costs.

groundwater„ soil, soil gas, and indoor air samplles. The project is being conducted pursuant is an imminent and Substantiall Endangerment Determination Order issued by DISC to the
current property o nern Slh+urtlly after EPC operations ceased in the 1990s, the site property was subdivided Tinto two separate addresses, 1224 and 1226 IE, Pormsna Street The current site occupant at 1224 E. Pomona Street is a church gr'.up, and the current site occupant at 122.6 E. Pomona Street is an autonoti,.e repair business.
Wood successfully implemented a triad, -type approach to expedite site characterization and initiate a rapid respwnrnse mitigation effort because high concentrations of VOCs ere detected in s.il gas and indoor air samples. Vapors were extracted from tw,r vertical extraction ,ells screened beteen depths of approximately 15 and 30 feet and two horizontal extracti n wells with approximately 60 to 70 (lineal feet of screen and located approximately six feet underneath the site building. Subsequent soil ,gas and ind+�'. air sampling result's indicate that SVE has been effective for reducing VOC concentrations in soil gas beneath the site.
While onsite SVE pllanning and operations commenced, Wood continued ornsiite site and offsite groundwater sampling activities. Soil and groundwater samples ere used for bench -scale treatabiil°uty studies to evaluate effect eness of in

Oversaw and managed 62 task orders totalling nearly $20 million in project work.
Berk Oil 1 nd Pacific (Metal Crai'' Properties, Bell Gardens, CAProject Manager. Managed and oversaw three separate site investigation programs:
• 2012 TSII funded through DTSC grant program
• 2019 Site Characterization funded through DTSC Brownfield Assessment grant • 2022 Supplemental Site Assessment (SSA) funded through U.S. EPA Brownfields grant awarded to National Development Council
Responsible for performing an RI during the 2012 and 2019 programs at this vacant and unproductive brownfieVds property. Prepared a Phase I ESA in 2012 summarizing previous site activities and identifying several Recognized Environmental Conditions at the site. Prepared subsequent work plans to characterize soil, soil -gas, and groundwater conditions at the site using innovative tools and techniques to expedite the site investigation. Oversaw use of high -resolution sulbsurface screening tools (cone penetration testing (CIPT), Hydraulic Profiling Tooll [HP'11, Membrane Interface Probe (MVP)), along with confirmation soil, soil gas, and groundwater sampling (usiing grab methods) to assess how environmental conditions associated with current or former land uses affected commercial/industrial redevelopment plans. Lead and benzo(a)pyrene (IBaP) were detected in soill at concentrations exceeding screening (levels. IPrepared the 2019 Slit Characterization Report that provided recommendations for commercial/industrial reuse of the site on a parcel by parcel basis.
Managed the 2022 SSA with the goal of evaluating mix reuse of the site (commercial/industrial and residential development). Prepared plans to install passive soil gas probes to provide information on overall site volatile organic compounds (VOC), total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon conditions. Used results of the passive soil gas samples to direct confirmation sampling locations. Used actiive soill gas, CPT, membrane interface hydraulic profile tool direct -read monitoring, and grab groundwater samples it evaluate site conditions and support site redevelopment decisions, Assisted with preparation of a Human Health Risk Assessment (HHIRA) to evaluate both commercial/'industrial and residential (mixed) land use and calculate potential health risks posed by chemicals of potential concern at the site. Resullts of the HHIRA demonstrated that exposure of future site occupants under both residential and commercial/industrial reuse scenarios to current soil and soil gas conditions would result in an elevated noncancer hazard and cancer risk. Therefore, a response action would be required to all for mixed use site redevelopment.
Prepared the SSA Report, which identified the estimated areas of lead and/or BaP soil excavation that, when removed, would allow for unrestricted use of site soil. Recommended installation of vapor barriers beneath any new slab -on -grade Ibuilding construction to address potential vapor intrusion concerns because soill gas concentrations were relatively low and dispersed throughout the site. All project work was completed within the grant funding°s deliverable schedule and authorized budget. Results and recommendation from the SSA were used by the City to obtain an Equitable Community Revitalization Grant,

Project IIVdanager: Responsible for performing a Rd and groundwater pilot .studies and supporting implementation of an SVE and situ chemical oxidation (iSo) pilot tests at a forrner )plating facility. The project was funded through the State "Orphan cite" program (because indoor air VOC concentrations presented a potential "imminent and ,Substantial Endangerment" to site occupants and the current site owner did not have the resources to c. mpUete site investigation and implement remedial actions. To alleviate VOCs concentratisnns in indoor air„ planned for and oversaw instappatuon of two horizontal vapor extraction weeps )beneath the existing building foundation to provide subsurface depressurization (SSD) by connection to the SVE system, which used granular activated carbon (GAC) to treat extracted vapors.
Operation of the SSD resulted iin lowering ind«ror air VOC concentrations by one to two orders of magnitude.
Used a combination ,f high-re,sohution subsurface screening tools (CPT„ l"'dIP-f, V IVP), aVsing with confirmation soil and groundwater sarnpllirng (using grab methods or iinstailing and sampling groundwater monitoring ; ells) to identify and delineate a paleochannel underlying a portion of the site. VOCiiimpacted groundwater was moving aUong the higher -porosity palleocharnneU sands and gravels tangential 'to the regional groundwater flow directi+wln in finer -grained sediments. Prepared a conceptual site model that accounted for the variable VOC mass movement ad rig the palleochanrnel and in multiple undifferentiated water -bearing zones following the regional flow direction.
Prepared plans for bench -.scale treatability studies to evaluate USCO to remed'iate VOC-inn)pacted groundwater. Using results of the Ibernclhn-scale treatabiiity studies, demonstrated that VSCO using sodium permanganate was appropriate for treatment of high VOC concentratioros in groundwater. Subsequently prepared an FS/RAP using results of the RI and pilot studies to design and support long-term soil) and groundwater remedial efforts. (Recommended SVE for VOC-impacted soil and IISCO for VOC-impacted groundwater. Assisted DTSC with preparation of a Public Participation IPlan, Fact Sheet,, community ntices„ and other documents to support CEQA public outreach requirements. Subsequently suipiported DTSCs public outreach efforts, participated in a community workshop and a public meeting„ and revie ed proposed responses to public comments. DTSC approved the IFS/RAID foiVo , ing compietinn of CEQA public review activities.
Prepared plans for an IISCO pilot study, which included an application for a Waste Discharge Requirement ( DR) permit under the SA-R QCId3"s Discharge Authorization and Muunitoring & Reporting Program to inject up to '7 )percent sodium permanganate by eight:: The pilot test was implemented in two phases, the first: to evaluate VOC-limpacted groundwater lirthin the p«adeochannel deposits and the second to evaluate VOC-ir'npacted groundwater ithin the undifferentiated water -bearing sediments outside the paleochannell.

Upon IDTSC°s approval of the SSl Report, assisted them with preparation of the draft Removal Action Workplan (RAW) that recommended excavation of lead and dieldrin impacted soill followed by off -site transportation to an approved facility for treatment/disposal, After (DISC approved the draft RAW and submitted it for public review, assisted them with implementing CEQA activities, which included preparation of a Community (Profile, Community Survey, and Community Updates. After completion of public outreach efforts, finalized the RAW pursuant to DISC request and assisted the LUSD with contractor selection (prepared Technical Specifications and (Procurement and Agreement Requirements to support competitive bid contract requirements). In 2018, provided oversight during removal of 231.47 tons of impacted soil and collected confirmation soil) samples demonstrating achieved the (project remedial action objectives. Sulbsequently, prepared the Removal Action Completion (Report (RACR) supporting No Further Action determination for the site. DTSC agreed with our recommendation and approved the RACR in February 2018 as is and with no comments, The classroom buildings were installed in 2019 and the Panthers (Pathway program will be open to new students soon. Wood completed the SSI, RAW, and RACR on schedule. Our original total estimated cost for site investigation, planning, and closure was approximately $175,000. However, through planning collalborative efforts between the client and DISC representatives, our final invoice cost was $122,167 saving over ,$50,000 from our original overall projected project costs.
