RE: Proposal for Environmental Consultant and Cleanup Services for Project at 1457 H Street – Bid File No. 12500393

Dear Mr. Lee
For decades, GHD has served the State of California and its local municipalities. A recent award with the City of Fresno for the On-Call Architectural and Civil Engineering Services Contract, invites further collaboration with local teaming partners as well as continued collaboration with DTSC staff in multidisciplinary capacities, establishing a strong working relationship with both the City and DTSC that will only continue to serve as a catalyst for successful communication and partnership moving forward. Our familiarity with DTSC personnel and California requirements, combined with our experience in many similar projects, will provide the City of Fresno with a team who thoroughly understands the various complexities and local significance of the Cleanup Services for the Project at 1547 H Street.

Working with GHD offers numerous benefits, including extensive expertise, commitment to safety and quality, and an innovative approach to problem-solving. By leveraging our understanding of local regulations and strong stakeholder relationships, the City will benefit from:

GHD's Strategic Approach for Enhancing Efficiencies and Collaboration. Recognizing and utilizing the path forward established in the RAP, GHD plans to add efficiencies through local leadership and representation, effectiveness and efficiencies though advanced technology, and emphasis on our solid relationships with local vendors and subcontractors to perform the work with respect to the neighborhood and its master plan of a destination for transitional homes. GHD plans to utilize the long-standing relationship built with DTSC and established partnerships with our subs, so that we are able to create a collaborative environment that supports a successful team atmosphere with liked minded individuals and a shared vision for the outcome. In using efficiencies that have been implemented in other similar projects, like a well-conceived grid plan, XRF technology to help guide excavations, and a stepped-out approach to field work, we are able to create limited public exposure while performing the field work and ultimately the ability to maintain lower overall costs keeping us well below the Grant cap and within the allotted schedule.

Expertise in DTSC Project Management. Our deep familiarity with the technical, administrative, and procedural aspects of DTSC projects, as well as the ability to provide a complete array of “staff services,” acting as an extension of DTSC staff.

Specifically, regarding the expectations of DTSC, we do not need to spend time acclimating to the built in procedures or understanding the regulations at hand. Instead, we can use precious schedule and budget to develop effective project solutions without any delay.

We see this project as an opportunity to continue to build and establish our commitment to providing the City of Fresno with responsive and effective professional environmental and engineering services to meet the needs of our local community. To supplement our own expertise, we have teamed with American Integrated Services for excavation, hauling, soil import and site restoration, Eurofins for accurate and rapid lab work, as well local vendors for onsite needs. Together, the GHD Team is uniquely qualified to serve the City of Fresno, due to:
− A proven track record working with DTSC to implement similar State and federally funded projects, including 870 Broadway, Former Wood Treatment Facility, Caletti Avenue Site, S Street Site, Lodi Distribution Warehouse, Former Bulk Fuel Terminal projects;
− Our understanding of DTSC requirements, the document review process, construction and environmental methodologies, and funding programs, as well as the assurance and experience to confirm the accuracy of our accounting management system;

− Our project manager, Suzie Kaufman, who has led and is currently leading DTSC projects, and, as the GHD primary point of contact, is adept at facilitating project, team, and stakeholder coordination, managing a team of professionals selected for their experience in numerous environmental projects for local municipalities such as the City of Fresno.

The GHD Team is ready to begin work immediately upon authorization, leading the project jointly out of our local Fresno and Sacramento offices, from which staff have provided similar services to northern California communities for over 65 years. Our contact information is below; please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions regarding the enclosed qualifications. Thank you for this opportunity. We look forward to continuing to collaborate with the City of Fresno on this important project and for many years to come.

GHD City of Fresno ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT AND CLEANUP SERVICES FOR PROJECT AT 1457 H STREET 4 Site is a Brownfield and was originally developed as a school in the 1860s and was redeveloped into various automotive uses in the 1920s. Site is impacted with lead, cobalt, petroleum hydrocarbons, and chlorinated solvents from historical automotive activities and lead based paint. Site is under a voluntary cleanup agreement with the DTSC. GHD has prepared a Preliminary Endangerment Assessment and based on the conclusions and recommendations is currently performing a supplemental site investigation to closed data gaps related to soil vapor and the vertical and lateral extent of lead in soil.

Benefit: This project will restore a formerly blighted property back to beneficial use and mitigate exposure risks to the nearby residential neighborhood.
870 Broadway
Client: 870 Broadway Owner LLC
GHD City of Fresno ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT AND CLEANUP SERVICES FOR PROJECT AT 1457 H STREET 5 The site was a former wood treatment facility that operated from 1952 to 1961 using creosote and pentachlorophenol to treat lumber. The facility also had a lead dip-treatment tank for coating metal hardware. Wood treatment chemicals and lead were released to site soils during operation of the facility. During the early 1980s, contaminated soil was discovered onsite. The environmental site investigation began during 1986 with oversight from the Department of T oxic Substances Control (DTSC). A human health risk assessment and remedial action plan identified the chemicals of concern (COCs) in soil as dioxin, lead, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and groundwater was determined to not require remediation. Several other chemicals used at the facility during the wood treatment process were eliminated as COCs by the risk assessment. In situ remediation consisting of ozone injection and vapor extraction was attempted by a prior consultant and met with limited success. GHD began work on the Site during 2010 and revised the remedy to reduce the estimated cost of cleanup. The final remedy was excavation and landfill disposal of soil with a goal of meeting unrestricted land use cleanup goals.

Part of the remedial excavation involved removing soil beneath a concrete-lined drainage ditch that conveyed stormwater from the site to a nearby creek. During the performance of this work, complications and some delays were encountered due to the presence of a PG&E natural gas transmission line present at depths of 2 feet to 4 feet below the drainage ditch. T o minimize potential damage, contaminated soil present beneath the gas line was excavated by hand-digging around the gas line. GHD worked closely with PG&E to give them access to their gas line to evaluate, clean, and repair the line while it was exposed.

These efforts resulted in the excavation being open during the early onset of the 2016-2017 rainy season. GHD ensured that the stormwater management practices in place at the site were effective in eliminating any stormwater discharge violations or discharge of water containing site COCs.

During excavation activities, a neighboring business complained of odors. GHD had already been performing air monitoring and thus was able to confirm that no chemical exceedances had occurred. In addition, we collected and analyzed air samples to validate what chemicals were present in the air and confirm quantitatively whether or not they posed a health risk. The results showed that no health risk was present. GHD continued to work with the offsite business and DTSC personnel to relieve any health related concerns and employed the use of an odor suppressant to mitigate nuisance odor conditions.

The excavation has extended to 20 feet below grade. T o date, over 15,000 tons of soil have been removed and 3,000,000 gallons of water have been extracted from the excavation. Soil and water were stored onsite in covered stockpiles and storage tanks, respectively, profiled, and transported offsite for proper disposal. GHD has also provided technical assistance to the client’s legal team prior to and during remedial activities for several lawsuits related to the site. All lawsuits were resolved in our client’s favor.

Benefit: Completion of the remedial excavation has allowed for light industrial reuse of the property.

Former Wood Treatment Facility

GHD City of Fresno ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT AND CLEANUP SERVICES FOR PROJECT AT 1457 H STREET 6 The site was a former lumber mill that operated from 1961 to 1985. During that time, facility operations generally included sawmilling, hanger fabrication, lumber storage, sawdust collection, and the use of two teepee burners. Since lumber mill activities ceased at the site, various commercial and industrial tenants have occupied the site. The primary constituent of concern are petroleum hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile organic compounds, metals, solvents, and mercury. Environmental work at the site began after a DTSC site inspection in 2014. GHD began work at the site in 2015 with the preparation of a Preliminary Endangerment Assessment Work Plan. GHD guided the site though the PEA process including the preparation of a human health risk assessment, supplemental investigation to close data gaps, PEA addendum and preparation of a soil management plan. The site is now in public comment for site closure.

Benefit: Completion of the PEA process addressed/mitigated exposure risks from historical operations and allowed for light industrial reuse use of the property.

Caletti Avenue Site | Windsor, CA

GHD City of Fresno ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT AND CLEANUP SERVICES FOR PROJECT AT 1457 H STREET 7 Fredrick Ramond, Inc. (Fredrick Ramond) was a lighting fixture manufacturer that previously occupied the property from approximately 1969 to 2008. Manufacturing operations consisted of fixture assembly, conversion coating, fixture antiquing, glass beveling, painting, warehouse storage, and packing/distribution. The source of soil and groundwater contamination originated from a release of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) from a vapor degreaser located within the building onsite.

Through implementation of multiple inovative remediation technologies including soil vapor extraction, in-situ chemical oxidation, and enhanced in-situ bioremediation, GHD has successfully reduced chlorinated solvent contaminations to near acceptable levels.

Despite significant reduction in concentrations of contaminants of concern, the Los Angelese Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) had been reluctant to terminate or change the current general waste discharge requirements and monitoring/reporting requirements.

However, after recent extensive analysis of historical and recent data, GHD exhibited conclusive evidence that the WDR permit should be terminated so that monitoring can be significantly reduced. LARWQC has recently concurred.

Benefit: Due to GHD's strong consulting, contracting, and project management services, GHD is now working successfully with the California Department of T oxic Substance Control (DTSC) to implement a land use covenant restriction that is likely to move the case toward closure. GHD expects to provide the land use covenant restriction document to DTSC in the next several weeks after all parties have reviewed and given approval.

GHD City of Fresno ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT AND CLEANUP SERVICES FOR PROJECT AT 1457 H STREET 8 The project site is a Brownfield located in downtown Sacramento and comprised of several former commercial properties that included metal plating and automotive repair. The site is currently in the final stages of redeveloped into a mixed commercial and affordable housing mid-rise building. Primary constituents of concern are tetrachloroethylene (TCE), hexavalent chromium, and petroleum hydrocarbons. GHD has provided site investigation (soil, groundwater, soil vapor, and indoor air sampling), groundwater monitoring and sampling, geophysical survey, UST closure-in-place, in-situ remediation, excavation oversight, soil management plan preparation, vapor intrusion mitigation system design, inspection, and maintenance plan preparation, and regulatory support.

Benefit: Site investigation and remediation of the formerly blighted property has allowed for revitalization of the neighborhood and providing affordable housing in this formerly commercial/industrial area of downtown Sacramento.

S Street Site | Sacramento, CA
Client: Capitol Area Development Authority
GHD City of Fresno ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT AND CLEANUP SERVICES FOR PROJECT AT 1457 H STREET 9 The site is an active distribution facility for the beverage industry which was expanding the warehouse and adding a rail spur. GHD reviewed the engineering plans for the warehouse expansion and rail spur addition, prepared a sampling plan and collected soil samples to determine if lead, pesticides, herbicides, petroleum hydrocarbons, and metals were present above regulatory screening levels. This data was used to refine soil off-haul costs and prepare a soil management plan that the client and their general contractor could use during construction activities.

Benefit: Design of the sampling plan incorporated predetermined sampling locations using GIS mapping as well a provisions for pre-profiling the expected volume of soil (in 250 cubic yard volumes based on cut and fill calculations) to be excavated for offsite disposal. GHD field staff utilized ESRI’s Field Maps application loaded on an iPad with predetermined sample GID coordinates to accurately locate each sampling location in the field and make adjustments as needed. This also allowed for more accurate and efficient determination of soil disposal costs and landfill disposal options (Class I, Class II, or Class III) prior excavation and allowed for direct loading since space was limited for stockpiling.

GHD City of Fresno ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT AND CLEANUP SERVICES FOR PROJECT AT 1457 H STREET 10 The site is a former bulk fuel terminal located at Sacramento International Airport that operated from the mid-1960’s through the 1990’s. Fueling operations resulted in soil and groundwater being impacted with jet fuel and aviation gas. GHD performed routine groundwater monitoring, sampling and reporting, site investigation, remedial pilot testing, and regulatory negotiations.

Final remedial remedy was excavation of approximately 27,000 cubic yards of impacted soil. Remedial implementation required coordination with multiple stakeholders and agencies including property owner, client, Sacramento County, Federal Aviation Administration, Transportation Security Administration, Native American representative, RWQCB, and SCEMD.

Benefit: Completion of the remedial excavation allowed for reuse of the site for a new Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARRF) facility to be built.

Review of Existing Data
Upon review of the Draft Remedial Action Plan from
October 2023, as well as the Phase I Environmental
Assessment and concurrent Phase II Limited Site
Assessment from December 2023, it has been concluded
that initial investigation does require further assessment to properly conduct the proposed remedy.

Site Description and Background (Krazen, 2023): The
single parcel of land, approximately 2.98 acres, is currently owned by the City of Fresno and is located south of H
Street (1457 H Street) between Stanislaus and Tuolumne
Streets, Fresno, Fresno County, California. Based on
official zoning maps, it is zoned as part of the Downtown Core (DTC). The Site is fenced on three sides and shares its southwestern property line with the railroad, the
southeast and northwest property lines with commercial/ industrial operations including an asphalt-paved tractor- trailer staging lot and building material storage yard. The northeast property line is bound by the two (2)-lane H
Street, which provides the only access onto the Site. A buried hazardous liquid pipeline, telephone lines and fiber optic lines are also located on the Site.

The Site was vacant land in 1888. Later the Site was
occupied by railroad tracks and associated facilities from at least 1898 until at least 1987, including:1) a hardware, agricultural implements, and raisin warehouse; a nursery depot; an agricultural implements storage area; and a
packing shed in 1898, 2) a fruit & box material warehouse; a harrow warehouse; and a wood yard in 1906, 3) 12 railroad lines/spurs and a loading platform in 1918, and 4) 12 railroad lines/spurs; a loading platform; and a freight building from at least 1948 until at least 1987. The Site has been vacant land except for the existing communications facility since at least 1998. Additionally, the Site appears to have been utilized as a storage yard in mid-2017. The Site does not appear to have been utilized for agricultural purposes since at least 1898.

A review of the adjacent properties historic uses identified a former logistics operation (Bedrosian Trucking Services, 1454 G Street) (Bedrosian) to the adjacent southwest
of the subject site. Several petroleum fuel containing
underground storage tanks (USTs) were operated at this
facility. The USTs were removed from the property prior to 2010. Soils impacted from UST releases were remediated.

However, in 2010 during a fuel dispenser upgrade, a
release was identified associated with the fuel dispenser system. A subsequent soil investigation identified impacted soils beneath the fuel dispenser system extending to a
depth of over 70 feet below ground surface (bgs). TPH-g concentrations in soil were identified at 30,000 mg/Kg
beneath the former fuel dispensers. Benzene was identified at 810 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3) in soil vapor beneath the former fuel dispensers which is several orders of magnitude higher than the screening levels available from the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB).

The property was not remediated and was awarded closure under the RWQCB Low Threat Closure Policy (LTCP) in
January 2020.

The former fuel dispenser system is located approximately 250 ft southwest of the subject site’s southwestern
boundary. Due to the elevated soil vapor concentration, a potential soil vapor intrusion concern to the subject site exists.

A review of the vicinity properties historic uses identified a former dry cleaners and dry cleaner chemical
manufacturer/distributer south/southeast of the subject site. In the mid-1990’s the chemical manufacturer/
distributer Univar (1454 G Street) identified a release from a bulk tetrachloroethylene (PCE) aboveground
storage tank (AST) and has impacted soil, soil vapor, and groundwater beneath, and downgradient of the facility.

Subsequent investigations identified the extent of the
impacts to the environment. A groundwater monitoring well was installed on the subject site to monitor the movement of PCE in groundwater and to assess the effectiveness
of remediation actives conducted by Univar. In 2010,
Lamoure’s Dry Cleaners (1304 G Street) was identified as an additional source of PCE impacts and began to conduct their own assessments separate from Univar.

Previous assessments: In a site screening assessment,
Blackburn Consulting (Blackburn) identified PCE at 13,000 µg/m3 in soil vapor in a soil vapor well at the Lamoure’s facility approximately 300 feet south of the subject site.

Guidance provided by the RWQCB states the cancerous
screening level for PCE in residential areas is 15 µg/m3.

Additionally, PCE was found in trace concentrations
in groundwater beneath the subject site according to
a groundwater monitoring report dated April of 2022
prepared by ERM-West, Inc. on behalf of Univar. PCE in
groundwater beneath the subject site and in soil vapor
adjacent to the subject site represented a concern to the subject site. Groundwater was not sampled during the
Phase I or Phase II but was conducted on behalf of Univar’s monitoring program and reportable amounts of PCE noted.

Due to the nature of how lead and arsenic migrate through the soil horizon and the groundwater table at least 100bgs, further investigation into groundwater impacts have not been made nor are deemed necessary. Soil vapor was
sampled for as noted below.

Additionally, during a site visit in December 2022, several soil stockpiles were noted to be centrally located on the Site. They were not consistent in texture or color and are undocumented with regard to their source. The soil piles appeared to be a result of unauthorized dumping at the
subject site.

GHD City of Fresno ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT AND CLEANUP SERVICES FOR PROJECT AT 1457 H STREET 13 December 2023 concluded a Phase I Environmental
Assessment and concurrent Phase II Limited Site
Assessment. Detailed results can be found in the RAP
as well as those individual documents. The assessments suggest that among a limited number of samples, arsenic and lead were present above ESLs, while TPH-cc and
SVOCs did not cross the threshold of corresponding ESLs.

An assessment of potential vapor migration from offsite sources was conducted using soil vapor probes, and it was determined that 16 of the 63 VOCs were detected in all the samples initiated, as well as varying amounts of Benzene, Ethylbenzene, Naphthalene and Tetrachloroethylene
above ESLs in the sample set.

The unknown soils stockpiles were also sampled and tested for various chemicals of concern at varying depths, it was found that both arsenic and thallium were present in levels exceeding the ESLs.

Data Gaps: At the conclusion of the Phase I and Phase
II it was determined that Data Gaps do remain in place
regarding Lead, arsenic, Thallium (stockpile only), and VOCs. Investigation of both lateral and vertical extent of metals contamination needs to be performed to
properly assess the Sites conditions. Since groundwater is well below the area of influence for metals migration, and the offsite monitoring is being performed for other contaminants of concern by the responsible party,
additional groundwater assessment is not deemed
necessary at this time.

Areas that need further investigation include the following:
− Soil Data Gap (As, Pb, Th (stockpile only)
• Gridded Site samples to determine the vertical and
lateral extent of metals contamination;
• Soils below unknown stockpiled soil (including
Th); and
• Soils excavated to be profiled before disposal.
− Soil Vapor Data Gap
• Installation of Soil Vapor wells

GHD City of Fresno ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT AND CLEANUP SERVICES FOR PROJECT AT 1457 H STREET 14 → The Power of Commitment
Section 3.

Project Approach and
Methodology
A driving factor is a future focused mentality. GHD
approaches projects with a cradle to grave methodology, always nodding to the beneficial reuse of properties
post remediation. A forward-looking approach as to the end use is always a factor in how we perform, and the
methodologies applied. GHD strives for collaboration
upfront to develop and implement the shared vision.

A strong safety culture leading our Team to success.

For both GHD and AIS, safety culture is the most important aspect of our work, it takes precedence on every project and activity engaged. A safe workplace and the prevention of accidents is an integral part of our day-to-day operation.

Under Federal, State, and local law, GHD and AIS are
responsible in providing all applicable training and a safe working environment to protect the life, health and safety of its employees and subcontractor personnel. All tasks and projects are approached with a “safety first” focus and recognizes that worker, client, and community safety take precedence over any facet of the project. This forward safety culture not only ensures safe practices while onsite but recognizes the goal of keeping the community safe with a healthy location for future housing as part of the overall goal of the Cleanup at the Site.

Commitment to excellence through engagement. Prior
to mobilization, all the appropriate and applicable Work plans will be established, reviewed and adopted, after
careful consideration and collaboration with the City of Fresno and DTSC. We are committed to supporting the
effort at all stages and will submit monthly updates and status reports to ensure the schedule is maintained and the project stays on course. We have intentionally built in an additional allowance of time for communication that
may need to go beyond the standard review periods, prior to field work commencing, in the spirit of upholding the importance of collaboration and engagement with both the City and DTSC.

Experience and technology, allow us a keen sense of
adaptability and efficiency. For the Site at 1457 H St, the investigation of both lateral and vertical extent of metals contamination needs to be performed to properly assess
the Sites conditions, at depths assumed no greater than 3 feet (based on previous sampling, the greatest depth of lead is at 2 fbgs and arsenic at 1fbgs, with averages at the surface or 1 fbgs). The strategy will be to assign a 25 ft grid, as suggested in the RAP, to confirm the vertical and lateral extent of the contamination. Since the nature of these metals is to stay suspended in soil and not migrate to depth, samples will be GPS located, recorded and collected by
using a hand auger, at 3 depths per location, 0.0-0.5 fbgs,

1.0-2.0 fbgs, and 2.0-3.0 fbgs. Surface samples (0.0-0.5 fbgs) will be sent to an accredited lab for analysis (Eurofins), while additional samples will be held as step outs for further analysis and confirmation of containment extent. A field Union Pacific Railroad

Data create for this proposal was estimated only for visual representation. Site feature locations are based on previous reports and will be reassessed prior to performance.

GHD City of Fresno ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT AND CLEANUP SERVICES FOR PROJECT AT 1457 H STREET 15 portable XRF unit will be utilized onsite as well to guide the excavations once the initial areas to be removed are determined. This will be done in order to limit the number of additional samples sent for confirmation, creating cost savings and tightening schedule, as well as limiting contact with exposed soils and as to not leave open excavations onsite longer than necessary. We will be utilizing a step out approach, so that while the excavation is occurring in ‘lifts’ we can follow behind and ‘confirm’ areas of impact being removed, with the XRF field unit. Once we acquire field data to confirm we captured the contamination,
we will send final samples to the lab for analysis and final confirmation. This approach also allows us to return to areas efficiently and dig ‘hot spots’ actively, saving time and costs associated with remobilization.

Success though solid and strategic partnering.

Excavation of impacted soil will be accomplished utilizing a large hydraulic excavator(s), supported by large capacity wheel loader(s) to perform the waste handling efforts.

The excavator will be equipped with various capacity
buckets to maximize excavation efficiency and achieve
appropriate extraction and loading rates. AIS, as the lead on the earthwork, assumes an average rate of +/- 750 CY or 1,100 tons of soil to be exported each day and the desire to move the quantity of excavated material to the assumed landfill(s). AIS plans to direct load as much material as possible while allowing for surge or stockpile accumulation within the individual excavation areas. If any temporary stockpiling of soil greater than 48 hours occurs, the subject stockpile will be wetted and/or covered with 6-mil poly sheeting until such time the subject waste is exported.

Sequencing of excavation work will generally proceed
from west to east across the site. Natural progression should allow AIS to excavate and manage removal rates
to accommodate the removal and consolidation of
waste materials from the proposed excavation areas.

This approach will maximize excavation productivity and facilitate steady off-hauling and allowing confirmatory sampling to progress in the same manner as to free up
areas to receive imported fill.

GHD will provide initial and periodic field staking of each removal area to establish preliminary removal boundaries and document final excavation limits. AIS will excavate each area to the prescribed preliminary horizontal and
vertical limits and can assist GHD in obtaining confirmation samples. Where necessary, sidewalls will be graded to acceptable slopes and the soil from that effort will be consolidated with other waste materials for transport to a BNSF approved waste disposal facility.

Once the all the affected soils are removed, confirmation samples will be collected and analyzed. The locations
under the stockpiles will also be sampled and residual
contaminated soils removed as deemed necessary.

Clean backfill will be imported to bring the site to grade, compacted and tested utilizing the computerized surveying program TopCom to final the work area to completed with the proposed surface slope requirements.

Once complete, a soil vapor assessment will be conducted using a direct push drill rig to install 10 dual-nested soil vapor wells with probe tips set at five (5) and 15 feet bgs in each of the 10 proposed wells as outlined in the Draft RAP.

Results will be analyzed, and a risk analysis performed to determine the potential for human health exposure.

The work to be conducted will be broken down into the
following phases:
