Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Merced 678 W 18th Street

Subject: R Street TPH, Free Product Gasoline - Removal System, Operation & Maintenance of Air Sparge System near Monitoring Well 6AR for the ROPS period July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027.

Dear Mr. Frank Quintero:

Thank you for the opportunity to submit this scope of services and fee for continued services on the R Street TPH project. This proposal discusses our understanding of the project, recommends a scope of services together with associated fees for the ROPS period July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027.

PROJECT UPDATE
This scope and fee estimate adresses the additional work necessary to continue free product gasoline removal, also known as Low Density Non- Aquis liquid (LNALP), and the operation the of air sparge system to reduce residual MTBE and other compounds associated with gasoline present in groundwater in the area generally near monitoring wells 6RA located in southwest corner of R and 16t Street. This work is being conducted under the direction of the Regional Water Quality Control Boad (RWQCB) as a leaky gasoline storage tank project.

Free product/ LNAPL was detected by Provost and Pritchard staff during routine monitoring, in September 2023, and partially assessed in August 2024 and late October 2024. The Free product is present in groundwater as a result of the historic gasoline release from the gasoline stations located at the former Exxon and Pacific Pride UST stations in the 1980's. The stations are located at 1415 and 1455 R Street, Merced, CA.

The city of Merced the Redevelopment Agency originally began this project to provide potential access to revitalized site along R Street to spur renewed development in the 1990's. In 2012 the Governor of California dissolved redevelopment agencies statewide. At that time Kosmont Company was retained by the State of California's Department of Finance (FDA) to manage this project acting as the Designated Local Authority's (DLA) real-estate management team, among other projects and real estate transactions, because of AB 26.

As of late September of 2023, the DLA program was beginning to sunset, and the City of Merced took the project back over as the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Merced. Provost & Pritchard has been the project consultant for the city and the DLA since 2007.

Costs to conduct the required and anticipated work are allocated through the State using a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) process. The included scope and fee estimated are based on recent https://us-partner-integrations.egnyte.com/msoffice/wopi/files/a68d64b0-1465-4168-81c2- 2d2935ca12Gc/WOPIServiceld_TP_EGNYTE_PLUS/WOPIUserid_42.ppeng egnyte.com/2025 11 21 Successor Angency Proposal Free Product Removal ROPS 07 01 26 to 06 0127 docx
