Client: Southern California Edison (SCE)
Disclaimer: Mr. Toosi was the senior engineer of
this project at his previous role as the vice president of Rubicon Engineering Corporation.
Project Involvement: 2017-Nov 2021
Project Description: Land divestiture, even more
than land acquisitions, exposes clients to long term
potential environmental liabilities. For retirement of SCE’s Bristol Substation, which is located within the City of Santa Ana’s Bristol Street Corridor Specific Plan (BSCSP), Mr. Toosi’s team was hired for conducting initial environmental site assessments (ESAs). The objective of our work was to identify any Chemicals of Potential Concern (COPCs) that may have originated from SCE’s historical operations, delineate the extent of the impact, and remediate the Site consistent with the City of Santa Ana’s future use standards and other pertinent regulatory protocols and guidance documents. Our Phase I ESA report identified potential Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) that were attributed to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), fuel-related petroleum hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and loss of mercury from the switches. Therefore, we planned for conducting additional site assessment and soil and soil vapor sampling at the Site. The Department of Toxic Substances Control Board (DTSC) was the oversight agency for this project. In 2020, we completed the Site characterization and delineated the area that was impacted by arsenic, lead, and PCBs. Our team developed the grading plans and managed the soil remediation by excavation activities. Upon completion of the remediation, the DTSC requested a Preliminary Endangerment Assessment (PEA) report to be prepared and submitted to the agency for Site closure. Mr. Toosi was the professional engineer who reviewed and stamped the PEA, which was submitted to the DTSC for final review. During this project, our team communicated every step of the work with the City of Santa Ana to ensure the BSCSP is not impacted by the investigation and remediation work.
Key Personnel: Mr. Toosi was the senior
engineer and Dr. Robles was the risk
assessment expert of this project.

School District | Project Period: Jun 2022-Sep 2022
Project Description: The Baldwin Park Unified
School District (BPUSD) is proposing a commercial
property to be transformed to an early childhood
care facility. In request of the Federal funding
agent, the BPUSD retained services of A-Tech to
conduct a Phase I ESA for this facility. A-Tech
identified several recognized environmental conditions (RECs) related to potential use of herbicides and pesticides from historical farming activities; potential release of petroleum hydrocarbon from oil & gas well fields in the Site vicinity; potential leakage of oil & grease from the Site’s UST; active contaminated site upgradient of the Site with ongoing remediation activities; truck staging activities and cargo freights at the Site; and the historical oil equipment service shop across the alley and upgradient to the Site. Based on these findings and the sensitive nature of the proposed land use, A-Tech recommended a Phase II ESA for this property. The Federal Early Childhood Education officer concurred with A-Tech’s recommendations and requested a Phase II ESA for the Site. A-Tech currently is developing the Phase II ESA work plan and planning on securing the required permits to conduct the field activities.
Key Personnel: Mr. Toosi is the project manager, Mr. Sandoval is the senior scientist, Mr. Ward is the CIH, Mr. Williams is the HazMat Survey Lead, and Ms. Lopez is the staff engineer for this project.

Project Involvement: 2018-2019
Disclaimer: Mr. Toosi was the deputy manager and
senior engineer of this project at his previous role as the vice president of Rubicon Engineering
Corporation.
Project Description: Five USTs containing gasoline
and waste oil were removed from the City of
Alhambra’s Maintenance Yard in the 1990s. However, the soil in the area was not evaluated for the presence of residual contamination. The LA Water Board on April 20, 2018, sent a Corrective Order Letter to the City. That order requested additional assessments to be conducted and a work plan for these activities must have been submitted to the LA Water Board by May 20, 2018. Our team was contacted by the City’s Utility Department’s Deputy Director, Mr. David Dolphin, to initiate developing the work plan and submit to the agency by the requested deadline. The LA Water Board approved our work plan and requested the results of the investigation in a technical report format by October 13, 2018. We completed all pre-field activities and hired subcontractors that we felt were the most qualified while offering the best value and mobilized our field crew on October 1, 2019. For this project, our team:
Drilled a total of 12 borings using direct push technology (DPT) to a depth of 35 feet below ground surface and collected samples at every five-foot interval. Analyzed the samples using a mobile laboratory subcontractor for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and volatile organic compounds; and
Showed, based on the results of this investigation, that the removal of the USTs was conducted properly, and that no residual contamination was present at the site. On October 12, 2018, we Submitted the final Site Closure Report and requested closure for the site from the LA Water Board. On October 7, 2019, the Water Board issued a no-further-action letter and approved our request for Site Closure. The city was delighted with our team’s efforts to finish this project within the budget in a timely manner. We have established relationship with the LA Water Board’s staff and have a reputation as a diligent consultant, whose mission is to protect the environment and ensure its clients are not environmentally liable.
Key Personnel: Mr. Toosi was the deputy project manager and senior engineer for this project.

2. SCOPE OF WORK AND SCHEDULE
As part of the RFP, sample fee proposals have been requested for the following properties:
Project #1: Halladay Property: 2245 S. Halladay Street, Santa Ana, CA 92707 Project #2: Former Arco Gas Station: 2245 S. Main Street, Santa Ana, CA 92707 A-Tech has prepared the following scope of work and schedule of events specific to these two projects and has provided a separate fee proposal in a sealed envelope that corresponds to these activities. Please note that we refrained from repeating our general approach that was explained in Section 1.d and here we focus on specific activities, project background, and schedule of events. It is our assumption that the City of Santa Ana has issued task orders and requested A-Tech two separate cost proposals for conducting ESAs along with Hazardous Material Surveys at above properties. a. PROJECT #1: HALLADAY PROPERTY
It is our assumption that the City of Santa Ana is planning to purchase the subject property (Site) and utilize it as an office building for employees. The Site currently consists of a single-story building in a residential neighborhood. A-Tech is retained to conduct a Phase I ESA and a comprehensive hazardous material survey of the building materials. Below is A-Tech’s systematic approach to this project:
Upon receipt of notice to proceed, A-Tech will
arrange for a kickoff meeting to discuss the
project requirements and obtain project relevant
information. We visited the Orange County
Assessor Office website to find the Assessor
Parcel Number (APN) of 016-105-19. A-Tech
will quickly review the readily available
historical aerial photographs on
https://www.historicaerials.com/ to develop a general understanding of the Site and its vicinity. After the meeting, A-Tech will start preparing the Phase I ESA as described in Section 1.d. For this Phase I ESA we will conduct a site visit, perform an interview with the owner/tenant, subcontract EDR for database research, and generate the final tables and reports. A site visit checklist along with interview questionnaire will be completed and provided as an appendix to Phase I ESA report. EDR results will be presented as appendices to the report.
A-Tech will compile all the findings in a Phase I ESA Report and provide all supporting documents as attachments. The report will provide recommendations for further assessments and environmental requirements of the project. For this project and due to the historical conditions of the Site, A-Tech assumes that the project is completed with a Phase I ESA and no further assessment is required.

4 Report Preparation 1, 2, and 3 3 Weeks
Total Duration 4 Weeks
In case the City plans to conduct any renovation
or construction at the subject property, a
comprehensive hazardous material survey is
needed according to regulatory requirements.
Comprehensive Asbestos Assessment
This assessment will satisfy all the requirements of a pre-renovation assessment, in accordance with CalOSHA Rule Title 8 CCR 1529 and NESHAP/SCAQMD Rule 1403, as it pertains to this project only.
Our certified asbestos consultant or certified site surveillance technician (CAC or CSST) will conduct an inspection of all areas and bulk sampling of suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACM), utilizing AHERA sampling protocols. We will arrange for access to all locations. Our scope includes analysis of suspect ACM samples by a NVLAP accredited laboratory, utilizing Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) with dispersion staining, in accordance with current regulatory requirements. Sample analysis is based on standard 5 Day Laboratory Analysis. Additionally, we will review the proposed renovation plans, if available. Upon receipt of laboratory results, A-Tech prepares a report that includes sample locations, friability evaluations and remedial recommendations.
Comprehensive XRF-Lead Assessment
A-Tech will also conduct an inspection of all locations and sampling of any suspect lead-containing materials (LCM) via XRF, chip sampling of painted surfaces or bulk sampling of ceramic/porcelain components by a CDPH Certified
Inspector/Assessor or Sampling Technician, utilizing CalOSHA’s and HUD sampling protocols. The analysis of suspect lead bulk samples will be performed by an AIHA accredited laboratory, utilizing Flame Atomic Absorption (AAS) and/or Total Threshold Limit Concentration (TTLC), in accordance with current regulatory requirements. Review of proposed renovation plans, if available. Additionally, we will review the proposed renovation plans, if available.
Upon receipt of laboratory results, A-Tech prepares a report that includes sample locations, condition evaluations and abatement/stabilization recommendations. The following are typical suspect leadcontaining materials found at this type of structure: Ceramic Tile, Painted Surfaces, and Porcelain Sinks & Toilets.

b. PROJECT #2: FORMER ARCO GAS STATION
It is our assumption that the City of Santa Ana is planning to purchase the subject property (Site) and utilize it for residential redevelopment. We researched the State Water Resources Control Board’s Database of Environmental Records – GeoTracker, with the Site address to evaluate the Site and its surrounding conditions. A-Tech identified that the Site is a former Arco Gas Station #5147 with a closed cleanup case (GeoTracker Global ID of T0605900621). The Site obtained closure as of March 23, 2022, from the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board). Since 2005 until closure in March 2022, numerous environmental investigations, remediations, and litigations were conducted related to release of petroleum products from historical gas station operations. A-Tech has reviewed these reports and provided a summary of the reports and regulatory activities in Table 5.
For the purpose of this fee proposal and as it is described in the RFP, A-Tech assumes that the City of Santa Ana has retained services of A-Tech for 1) conducting a Phase I ESA of the property, 2) the Phase I ESA will lead to a Phase II ESA in connection with UST removal activities, and 3) a comprehensive hazardous material survey of gas station structures and the shops building.
A Phase I ESA will be prepared in accordance
with the updated ASTM 1527-21 and as
described in Section 1.d. The Phase I ESA for
this project will be in accordance with the
Schedule of Halladay Property project as it is
presented in Table 3. Because of the historical
operations at the Site and the potential leakage from the USTs and gas station activities, it is more than likely that the Phase I ESA conclusion will warrant conducting a Phase II ESA for this property.

Proposal for
Various Environmental Services
August 1, 2022
Background, Proposed Scope of Phase II ESA
From review of the Site documents available on
GeoTracker, A-Tech assumes that the Site
features include three 12,000-gallon, doublewalled, fiberglass gasoline USTs, one 500-gallon double walled, fiberglass waste oil UST, and their
associated hydraulic hoists dispensers and
associated product lines, and vent lines. The Site
is a rectangle with approximate dimensions of 80
by 120 feet. Based on this information, A-Tech
is planning for two borings per 12,000-gallon
UST area, one boring for the 500-gallon UST
area, and three borings at each 20 linear feet of
piping. Historically, groundwater is encountered at approximately 10 feet bgs at or near the Site vicinity. The chemicals of potential concern (COPCs) at the Site include Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH), and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Due to potential use and storage of lead-containing gasoline, A-Tech also recommends Title 22 metals to be included as the COPCs.
A total of ten (10) borings will be advanced using a hydraulic direct-push technology (DPT) drilling rig.
The soil will be logged using the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). Borings will be advanced to a maximum of 20 feet bgs and soil samples will be collected starting at 1.0 feet bgs and repeated at 5.0,
10.0, 15.0, and 20.0 bgs. Because of the shallow groundwater, samples will be collected in borings where groundwater is encountered using hydropunch valves. In addition, we will install soil vapor probes at 5.0 and 15.0 ft bgs at three selected borings and collect six soil vapor samples with summa canisters. The soil samples will be collected in acetate-lined sleeves capped with Teflon© tape and airtight plastic caps. The samples will be packed in ice and transported to a State-Certified laboratory for analysis, with proper Chain-of-Custody documentation. All work will be performed under the oversight of a state of California certified Professional Engineer. Field Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) measures include collecting field duplicate samples, equipment blank at the end of the day, and one trip blank for sample transports. All discrete samples collected at 1.0, 5.0, and 10.0 feet bgs will be initially analyzed for VOCs by EPA Method 8260B, Title 22 metals by EPA Method 6010B, and TPH by EPA Method 8015.
The soil vapor samples will be analyzed for VOCs using EPA Method TO-15. Groundwater samples will also be analyzed for the same COPCs. Samples at 15.0, and 20.0 feet bgs will be placed on hold for further analyses if initial shallow samples return at an elevated level.
Work Plan and Pre-Field Activities
A-Tech will conduct this Phase II ESA in accordance with procedures set forth in Section 1.d of this proposal. A-Tech will prepare a work plan for the scope described above and in accordance with ASTM E1903-19. After review of the work plan by the City, it is submitted to the Water Board for approval before implementation. Additionally, a project-specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) will be developed outlining the various hazards associated with the proposed scope of work. Because the borings will potentially reach to the groundwater, A-Tech will obtain a Well Construction, Well Destruction, Test and Exploratory Hole permit from the Orange County Health Care Agency.

usually takes up to 10 business days, but we can expedite the process by paying the expedited fees, if needed.
We will notify the Underground Service Alert (USA Dig-Alert) at least 48 hours prior to any field mobilization, so utilities may mark their subsurface conduits on and adjacent to the Site. A geophysical survey will be conducted at the subject property to determine the location, if any, of subsurface utility conduits where soil borings will be advanced. The locations of the soil borings will be placed away from any subsurface conduits marked by USA or located by the private subsurface location company hired by A-Tech. The boring will be marked by white paint, visible for USA and the geophysical crew.
A-Tech prepares the scope of the work that will be performed by subcontractors (drillers, geophysics, and laboratories) and requests three subcontractors to bid on. A-Tech recommends the most qualified subcontractor to the City for approval. A-Tech enters into a subcontract agreement with the selected contractor and requires the subcontractor to fulfill the insurance requirements of the City and A-Tech’s stringent health and safety requirements.
Work Plan Implementation
Prior to starting the field work, the City and appropriate regulatory oversight agency will be notified in case inspection is required. A copy of the work plan and health and safety plan will be available on the field. All subcontractors will be required to follow health and safety requirements including their own and any requirements imposed by the City. Daily health and safety briefing will be performed prior to any field work. Daily progress reports will be sent to the City’s designated project manager. The laboratory results will be on normal turnaround time, which is 5 days.
Data Evaluation and Reporting
Upon receipt of analytical data, A-Tech performs an evaluation and interpretation of the data in the context of the regulatory screening levels and guidance provided by the EPA, DTSC, and Santa Ana RWQCBs. The findings determine which of the following course of action is required:
“No further action needed; in which case the report will request site closure; Additional investigation is needed to further delineate the extent of Chemicals of Potential Concern (COPCs); or Investigation is completed but remediation is required.” A-Tech prepares a draft report for review by the City and after addressing the comments, the report is suitable for submitting to the regulatory agencies. If further assessment is recommended or remediation is warranted, a cost proposal will be prepared and accompany the recommendations. Potential responsible parties (PRPs) for contamination will be determined and we will discuss viable options for incurring the cost from the PRPs.

Understanding of Need
Category I: Environmental Site Assessments and Investigation Successful reuse/redevelopment of contaminated property requires a team of engineering, geology, hydrogeology, and chemistry professionals; an understanding of local, state, and federal regulations; and familiarity with the nuances of regulatory agencies. Our experts evaluate and manage all aspects of environmental due diligence, cost–benefit analysis, data collection, risk assessment, remediation, and environmental program management. We evaluate and implement remedial alternatives that are costeffective, time-sensitive, and consider all aspects of risk. We have successfully performed investigation and remediation on commercial and industrial properties, including manufacturing facilities, dry cleaners, automotive shops, oil fields, schools, universities, agricultural sites, hotels, casinos, and renewable energy facilities, as well as residential project sites.
Our professionals have conducted hundreds of Phase I ESAs in accordance with the appropriate and applicable ASTM standard. We are thorough in our research to determine recognized environmental conditions (RECs) and/or environmental concerns that can impact the cost, risk, and schedule of a project.
We are often asked to evaluate items beyond the ASTM scope for Phase I ESAs, including existing conditions related to hazardous building materials and mold as well as providing information regarding radon, oil and gas wells, and methane zones.
Dudek environmental engineers and geologists expertly design and implement Phase II ESAs to collect a comprehensive data set for use in planning, site development, and/or remediation, as well as to satisfy regulatory requirements. We understand that most projects are subject to schedule and/or budgetary constraints, and we take those into consideration when specifying data objectives. Dudek scientists prepare site-specific risk assessments to evaluate potential risks for current and future land use. These studies may be used to obtain risk-based closure for open hazardous waste sites or to support change-of-use applications, such as from industrial to commercial or residential.
While not a part of the requested services for this RFP, Dudek also prepares and performs groundwater modeling, remedial investigation/feasibility studies, remediation, soil management plans, hazardous materials contingency plans, as well as hazardous waste facility permits. This additional experience gives us the foundation to better understand and evaluate data and anticipate future project needs.
Dudek understands the importance of quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC). Our QA/QC program consists of senior staff oversight and administrative management. All project deliverables will be independently checked and cross-checked to ensure that the data are accurately represented in each report. We will ensure that all project-related correspondence and project files are maintained and named in accordance with City requirements.
Category II: Hazardous Materials Surveys
Aurora provides comprehensive asbestos and lead management services that take projects from initial inspection through abatement and clearance testing. Aurora’s team consists of Certified Industrial Hygienists, Department of Public Health-Certified Lead Inspectors, Asbestos Consultants, risk assessors, project monitors and designers, and Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act asbestos specialists who provide asbestos and lead risk management services as well as other hazardous materials building surveys.

Relevant Project Experience and References
Category I Project Experience
CITY OF ANAHEIM OIL SPILL ASSESSMENT
Client: City of Anaheim
Project Location: Anaheim, California
Project Dates: 2021
Client Reference: Jonathan Sanks, [email protected], 714.765.4117 Key Personnel: Susan Smith
Dudek performed an oil spill assessment at a commercial property in Anaheim. A pad-mounted transformer was vandalized, which resulted in the release of transformer oil to asphalt and earthen surfaces. The release was not considered to be an Environmental Protection Agency-regulated Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) spill cleanup given that the concentration of PCBs in the transformer oil was below Toxic Substances Control Act criteria. The investigation consisted of sampling asphalt and soil samples within the spill area to determine the extent of the spill and identify additional areas of impact.
Concentrations of PCBs detected were well below regulatory screening levels; no additional investigation was recommended.

Scope of Services and Schedule
Category I
Phase I ESAs
Phase I ESAs identify concerns on a property related to hazardous or potentially hazardous substances. Our Phase I ESAs are prepared in accordance with the ASTM Standard Practice for ESAs:
Phase I Site Assessment Process E 1527-13 and E 1527-211. The Phase I ESA will include review and evaluation of past and current uses of the site for indications of the manufacture, generation, use, storage, and/or disposal of hazardous substances, and evaluation of potential soil and/or groundwater contamination resulting from current and historical land use activities, including those of nearby properties. Specifically, Dudek will perform the following:
▪ Conduct a search of regulatory agency records to see if there are currently, or were previously, any reports of hazardous materials contamination or usage at the sites or contamination at other nearby sites within the ASTM-specified search radius that could impact the site ▪ Review records maintained by local regulatory agencies, including the fire department, health department (Certified Unified Program Agency), building department, Regional Water Quality Control Board, and Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) ▪ Review historical source information, including historical aerial photographs, historical topographic maps, Sanborn fire insurance maps, and City Directories ▪ Review previous environmental investigations, soil sampling reports, or remediation plans as provided by the City
▪ Conduct a site reconnaissance and document current conditions ▪ Evaluate the potential for vapor intrusion risk
▪ Conduct a search of environmental liens and activity use limitations for the project assessor’s parcel number (if applicable)
▪ Interview the owner(s) and/or site representative(s) regarding the environmental history and background of the site
The findings of the investigation will be summarized in a Phase I ESA report. As per the ASTM Standard, the report will list RECs identified for the site, as well as historical RECs, controlled RECs, and significant data gaps. If the findings of the Phase I ESA indicate a potential impact of hazardous wastes or materials on the site, Dudek will include recommendations for further assessment and/or investigation (e.g., Phase II ESA).
1 ASTM E 1527-21 was released on November 17, 2021. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) concurrence with the new standard will reportedly take up to one year. Thus, compliance with the All Appropriate Inquiries rule to qualify for an exemption from Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act liability will remain under E 1527-13 until EPA concurs with the new standard.
City Council 16 – 244 10/18/2022

Soil Gas Survey
Soil gas surveys are a useful tool to identify and evaluate potential impacts at a site. A direct push drill rig is typically used to advance boreholes to the targeted subsurface depth. Dudek will partner with Millennium Environmental, Inc. for direct push and sub-slab drilling services. Following borehole advancement, temporary soil vapor probes will be constructed in accordance with the DTSC Advisory– Active Soil Gas Investigations. Probe inlets will be placed in sand, topped with dry granular bentonite, then sealed with hydrated bentonite chips. Each probe will be allowed to equilibrate for a minimum of two hours prior to sampling. A tracer gas compound will be used to test for leaks around the temporary soil vapor probe penetration seal at the ground surface and within the sampling system. A default of three purge volumes will be extracted prior to sampling from the probe locations. The soil vapor samples will be collected in accordance with the DTSC Advisory.
Dudek will partner with Jones Environmental Laboratories, Inc. (Jones), to provide mobile and stationary analytical services for soil gas samples. Dudek will ensure that the laboratory reporting limits will meet the project objectives. At the end of the sampling event, all soil boring locations will be resurfaced matched to the existing ground surface. Drilling equipment will be appropriately decontaminated before the commencement of any drilling activities and in-between boreholes. The findings of the soil gas survey will be presented in a standalone report or incorporated into a Phase II report.
Drilling
Dudek will provide support for the permitting, drilling, installation, development, and sampling of deep borings and groundwater monitoring wells. Dudek will partner with BC2 Environmental for hollow-stem auger, mud rotary, air rotary, and sonic drilling services. The drilling methods previously described provide capabilities to drill through various media, including consolidated and unconsolidated sediments, rocks, asphalt, concrete cement, and waste materials. Each boring will be logged using ASTM Standard D2488-09a–Standard Practice for Description and Identification of Soils (Visual– Manual Procedure). Boring logs will also include descriptions of the lithologies and grain sizes, color, moisture content, cohesive characteristics, odors, and any other pertinent information (e.g., blow counts, photoionization detector readings, anthropogenic materials, etc.). The subsurface lithologies will be used to determine the well screen slot size and filter pack materials best suited for the site. Wells will be constructed in accordance with the Department of Water Resources (DWR) California Well Standards Bulletins.
Groundwater monitoring wells will be developed at least 24 hours following the completion of construction. The drilling activities, including permits and DWR documentation, will be presented in a standalone report or incorporated into a Phase II ESA report.
Sampling
The media to be sampled at a site (air, soil, soil vapor, and/or groundwater) is dependent on the type of contamination present or suspected. The work plan/field sampling plan will outline the suspected concerns and include proposed sample locations, media, sample depth(s), and targeted analytes. All sampling will be performed in accordance with applicable regulatory protocols and/or standard industry practices. For example, soil samples to be analyzed for volatile components (e.g., gasoline-range hydrocarbons and VOCs) will be collected in accordance with EPA Method 5035. Dudek will ensure that the samples for all media (soil, soil vapor, or groundwater) are placed in proper containers and that the laboratory reporting City Council 16 – 246 10/18/2022

limits will meet the project objectives. The findings of the sampling will be presented in a standalone report or incorporated into a Phase II report.
Laboratory Analysis
Dudek will partner with Jones and Eurofins Calscience to provide laboratory analytical services. Both labs are certified by the California Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program. Eurofins Calscience is also certified by the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program and American Industrial Hygiene Association Laboratory Accreditation Program. All laboratory analyses will be performed in accordance with applicable EPA Methods and Contract Laboratory Program protocols. Any deviations from the EPA Methods will be documented. All samples will be collected in laboratory-supplied containers with proper preservative, properly labeled (unique sample number, date, time, site name, sampler name, and requested analysis), logged on a chain-of-custody, placed in an ice-chilled cooler, and transferred to the laboratory by field personnel or via laboratory courier. Aurora will partner with LA Testing/EMSL and Eurofins EMLab P&K for asbestos, lead, and mold laboratory analytical services.
Reports
Reports will include a statement of the objective, site background information, description and rationale for the investigation, deviations, methods used, data evaluation and comparison to regulatory screening levels, data interpretation, figures, tables, laboratory analytical reports, and any additional supporting information. Reports will be prepared under the direct supervision of a professional engineer or professional geologist.
Agency Coordination
Dudek will coordinate with local and state officials, as necessary, to facilitate project objectives.
Coordination with agencies may include obtaining permits for subsurface investigation work, coordinating field work schedules on public properties, and entering into a voluntary oversight agreement to ultimately obtain certified regulatory closure. Dudek will not contact any property owners, regulatory agencies, or other entities without expressed permission from the City.
Category II
Hazardous Building Materials Surveys
Aurora will survey and test buildings, storage vessels (tanks, containers, drums, etc.), and stored materials for the presence of hazardous waste or materials. The survey and testing may include visual inspection for the presence of suspected lead-based paint (LBP) and asbestos-containing materials (ACM), identification of potential PCB-containing equipment and materials, identification of universal waste, contents of materials stored in vessels, and assessment of buildings where hazardous materials or wastes are stored.
Surveys typically consist of the collection and submittal of samples from homogeneous areas for asbestos analysis by polarized light microscopy. The LBP assessment of suspect materials will be performed using X-ray fluorescence technology; paint chips of damaged areas may be collected for laboratory confirmation. Depending on the constituents of concern, additional sampling may be performed to categorize other waste materials at a site (universal waste, PCBs, etc.) City Council 16 – 247 10/18/2022

Sample Project: 2245 S. Main Street
PROJECT SCOPE
The property located at 2245 S. Main Street consists of one approximately 0.27-acre parcel of land on APN 403-141-08. According to information reviewed during the preparation of this scope of work, a gas station formerly operated on the site and a release of gasoline was reported in 1988. Impacts to soil and groundwater were reported at the site; monitoring and remediation efforts were performed for several years. By 2019, the underground storage tanks had been removed from the property and the gas station was demolished. The site was granted regulatory closure under the State Water Resource Control Board’s Low-Threat Closure Policy in March 2022 with the caveat that if the land use changes, a review of the corrective action is required.
The City of Santa Ana currently owns the property. For the purpose of this project scope, Dudek assumes that a land use change to Residential is proposed, which would trigger a corrective action review by the regulatory agency. Although regulatory closure (for commercial use of the property) was granted in March 2022, residual impacts remain at the site, which may exceed regulatory screening levels for residential use. Dudek recommends that a limited Phase II ESA with a human health risk evaluation be performed for the site.
Phase II ESA
Initial Project Review
Dudek will review the existing data for the site to determine an appropriate project approach. According to information reviewed on GeoTracker, concentrations of several volatile organic compounds in soil vapor exceeded regulatory thresholds for residential and commercial land use scenarios.

9 SCOPE OF WORK
Phase I Environmental Site
Assessments (ESA)
Leighton will complete Phase I ESAs in
conformance with the American Society for Testing
and Materials (ASTM) International standard E
1527-21, All Appropriate Inquiries (AAI) 40 CFR
Part 312, November 1, 2005, and, if required,
Caltrans Project Development Procedures Manual,
Chapter 18. Phase I ESAs completed by Leighton
will include at a minimum: Records Review, Site
Reconnaissance, Interviews, Report Preparation.
All Phase I ESAs will include conclusions specific to
the particular project as well as recommendations
for additional investigation (Phase II ESA) as
applicable. Phase I ESAs will be completed under
the direction of registered professionals, including
Environmental Professionals as required by AAI.
Leighton will adhere to pertinent new regulatory
requirements as applicable during the course of
the contract, including those of E2600-10 for Tier 1
Vapor Encroachment Screening and as directed by
the City.
Interviews of tenants and or property owners will
be completed with the City’s authorization. Upon
receipt of your authorization, we will make initial
contact with property owners to conduct interviews
of present and/or past owners, lessees, and
employees (if they are available and cooperative).
Our goal is to move your project forward—not
introduce impediments. We will do everything
possible to work within the unique sensitivities of
each specific project.
Phase II ESA
Leighton understands that remedial investigations/
site characterizations may be required for
properties identified as having potential
contamination in the performance of a Phase
I ESA, properties involved in acquisitions,
construction improvements or development. The
primary goals of an environmental site investigation
are to assess the nature and extent of any impacts,
quantify the approximate mass of contamination,
evaluate potential risk to human health or the
environment, and provide recommendations for
further investigation or remedial action, if required.
Based upon our experience in California, the
typical contaminants in soil and/or groundwater
include petroleum hydrocarbons, volatile organic
compounds (VOCs), semi-volatile organic
compounds (SVOCs), polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs), Organochlorine Pesticides (OCPs) and
heavy metals, but the potential for additional
contaminants does exist.
Leighton will employ a variety of technical approaches
to expedite site assessment activities. The selection
of the most appropriate assessment approach will
be based upon City goals, site access and schedule.
Each project is different and Leighton will make it a top priority to work with the City to find the most technically feasible, sustainable, and cost-effective approach to
each project, with site closure and/or construction
completion as the final goal. Tools and investigation
techniques that Leighton typically employ include the
following:
• The use of geo-located current and historical aerial
photographs combined with hand-held GPS units
allow for more accurately targeted investigations in
the field.
• Soil vapor surveys, which provide excellent real time data that can pinpoint potential sources warranting
further soil or groundwater sampling.
• The use of direct-push borings for investigation
of soils and groundwater which nearly eliminates
the costs associated with the characterization and
disposal of investigation-derived wastes.
• Determination of site specific cleanup levels by
establishing background levels prior to or during
the investigation using screening methods such
as XRF. This can help limit additional delineation
requirements and reduce the overall investigative
cost.
• The use of Rapid Optical Cone Penetrometer
(CPT) or Rapid Optical Screening Tool (ROST)
technologies to screen soils for the presence of
petroleum hydrocarbons.
• Employing forensic chemical studies using
chromatographic finger printing, chemical ratio
comparisons, degradation by-product and isotope
age dating, off-site source reviews and area-wide
groundwater gradient interpretation to assess
sources of historical chemical releases.
• The use of mobile laboratories to expedite field
decisions.
• The use of closed circuit television (CCTV) to
investigate and map (using subsurface sounding
and surface survey) subsurface utilities as potential
conduits or release points allowing for forensic
engineering analysis of these structures and
City Council pinpointing of release locations. 16 – 287 10/18/2022 10 Leighton recommends a kick-off meeting prior to
initiating any Site Investigations to establish project priorities and identify restrictions. Prior to the meeting, we will review any available background information
so we are prepared to discuss investigative
methodologies applicable to the particular project.
Based on the results of this meeting, we will
develop a Work Plan for the field investigation. All
investigations will be completed under the direction of a Professional Geologist (PG), Professional Engineer
(PE), Certified Hydrogeologist (CHG), or Certified
Engineering Geologist (CEG), in accordance with
the requirements and applicable governing oversight
agency such as LARWQCB, DTSC or local CUPAs.
The Work Plan will be based upon our review of
site conditions and meetings/discussions with the
City. Each Work Plan will include a specific technical
scope of work developed to best suit the needs of the
project. A draft of the Work Plan will be submitted to
the City’s Project Manager for review. Once approved
by the City, the final Work Plan will be submitted to
the appropriate agencies for review and approval, if
required. All Work Plans will be reviewed and signed
by an appropriate licensed professional (PG or PE)
before field implementation.
Investigative methods described in the Work Plan
may include one or more of the following:
Waste Profiling: Containers of unknown contents
are often discovered on industrial facilities associated with properties. Leighton’s team is well trained and
equipped to perform inspection, profile sampling,
and characterization of chemical storage containers,
such as tanks, drums, and other vessels. We realize
that these assessments are often required on an
expedited basis and our staff is prepared to respond
immediately to your needs.
Geophysical Investigations: When appropriate,
Leighton will work with approved subcontractors
to complete geophysical surveys. Subsurface
geophysical techniques can also be applied to screen
locations prior to other invasive work, such as drilling and trenching.
Direct Push Soil Sampling/Soil Gas Surveys:
Leighton has completed hundreds of soil,
groundwater, and soil gas investigations using
direct push field equipment to evaluate the
presence, concentrations, and extent of petroleum
hydrocarbons, heavy metals, VOCs, methane and
other contaminants that may be encountered on
properties. This technology has been increasingly
important in recent years due to concerns of potential
vapor intrusion into above-ground structures and
is often a critical component of evaluating potential
health risks. Our personnel are well versed in the
implementation of this technology as well as the
evaluation of the data generated and will oversee
direct push drilling subcontractors in the completion
of soil gas investigations, when required. Soil gas
investigations will be completed in accordance
with RWQCB/DTSC guidelines and requirements.
When necessary, Leighton will work closely with Dr.
Heriberto Robles of Enviro-Tox Services to assess
the potential for vapor intrusion into buildings/
structures and the associated health risks of
identified contaminants.
Trenching: Trenching is a cost-effective alternative
often used for shallow soil characterization and
to assess presence of or levels of contamination.
Trenching activities will be supervised by Leighton
personnel, under our current Cal/OSHA trenching
permit. If potentially contaminated soils are
encountered during excavation, Leighton will first
notify the City, and then once approved accordingly
notify the South Coast Air Quality Management
District (AQMD) under our various locations Rule
1166 permit for soil excavation, or other applicable
agencies, depending on the project location.
Drilling: We understand that drilling soil borings
or installing groundwater monitoring wells may be
required under this contract. Having significant
experience in California spanning more than 57
years, we understand the regional subsurface
geologic and hydrogeologic conditions and can
select the most appropriate drilling methods for
each project based upon this knowledge. On most
properties, we would utilize a direct push rig to
collect soil and initial grab groundwater samples.
This field methodology is less intrusive and
considerably more cost-effective than drilling with
hollow-stem auger drill rigs, and generates relatively
little investigation derived waste (IDW) for disposal.
Where permanent groundwater monitoring wells
are required, Leighton will primarily use hollowstem auger drilling equipment to advance soil borings for well installation. We have overseen
the installation of thousands of groundwater
monitoring wells from single completions in shallow
water bearing units to multi-nested completions
in confined and multilayered aquifers. We have
designed and installed monitoring wells intended
for the recovery of various contaminants including
petroleum hydrocarbons, VOCs, various light nonaqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs – floating product), dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs),
and other dissolved compounds. Prior to any
monitoring well installation, Leighton will obtain
necessary permits from the appropriate regulatory
agencies and register wells with the Department of
Water Resources (DWR) as required. Drilling will
be performed under the oversight of a PE or PG
registered in the State of California.
City Council 16 – 288 10/18/2022
11 Sampling: Soil and or groundwater sampling will
be conducted in accordance with federal, state,
and local guidelines with the objective of obtaining
representative samples of the subsurface materials.
No two projects are alike, each requiring a thorough
review of background information to establish an
appropriate sampling plan. Some projects will allow
for standard 3-volume well purging, while others
call for low-flow purging. Leighton will include a
site-specific sampling plan as part of the work plan.
This sampling plan will identify the media to be
sampled (e.g., soil, water, soil gas, etc.), the sampling procedures (e.g., drilling, trenching, push probe,
monitoring well, etc.), the sample container (e.g.,
glass jars, brass sleeves, Encores™, VOA vials, etc.),
preservatives, sample handling, QA/QC objectives
and chain-of-custody procedures.
Decontamination/Disposal and Manifesting: Field
equipment including drilling equipment, sampling
materials and anything that may be introduced into
the soil or groundwater will be decontaminated before
use and between sampling points by washing in
a mixture of liquinox (or similar) and water, rinsing
in potable water, final rinsing with deionized water
and be allowed to air dry. Investigation derived
waste (IDW) and soil/groundwater generated during
field investigations will be contained in 55-gallon
DOT approved drums, appropriately labeled and
transported under manifest to a permitted waste
handling facility. Waste manifests will be signed by
the City prior to transportation of the waste.
Leighton will not store any hazardous substances
for more than ninety (90) days, will not permit any
accumulations in excess of the small quantity
generator exclusion of 40 CFR Part 261, and will
report to the appropriate regulatory agency any
discharges or releases identified, but only upon
approval from the City.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Quality Assurance/Quality Control is a vital part of any site investigation. Field activities will be conducted
in accordance with the Leighton corporate QA/QC
Plan. In addition, we will perform our services in
accordance with project specific QA/QC requirements
as addressed during the initial kick-off meeting for
the project. Laboratory QA/QC will be performed
for each method of analysis as required for the test
method. The QA/QC data will be reported in summary
form and include a description of the constituent, the
specific test method, the date, the detection limit of
the specific test method, the percent accuracy, the
percent precision, and the signature of the laboratory
manager or director. These forms will be included
in the laboratory reports included as appendices
to the final site investigation reports. Technical
reports will be signed and stamped by a PG or PE.
As an additional QA/QC measure, it is Leighton’s’
policy that all technical reports be reviewed by
an independent (in-house) senior registered
professional (PG or PE) not actively engaged in the
project prior to final submittal.
Site Investigation Reports
Leighton will analyze field and laboratory data, and
prepare a detailed site investigation report describing the various tasks of the investigation, including
field and laboratory data, findings, conclusions,
and recommendations. As projects vary in size and
complexity, report format and appropriate illustrations will be discussed with the City before and during
report preparation to ensure the reports will present
the information accurately and effectively, based
upon City needs. All appropriately illustrated reports
(site maps, cross-sections, iso-concentration maps,
groundwater gradient maps, etc.) will be organized
in accordance with the requirements of the RFP and
other project specific requirements. The reports will
be signed by those who prepared it, and signed and
stamped by the California-registered professional
(PG or PE) overseeing the project. All technical
reports will be issued draft reports to review and
provide comments, prior to finalization.

AGENDA TITLE
Approve Agreements with P2S, Inc. and SMAART POWER for Arc Flash Analysis and Electrical Safety Program Development for a Total Amount not to Exceed $500,000 for up to a Five-Year Term (Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with P2S, Inc. and SMAART POWER, LLC for arc flash analysis and electrical safety program development for a threeyear period, beginning October 18, 2022 and expiring October 17, 2025, with provisions for one, two-year renewal period exercisable by the City Manager and City Attorney, with a shared aggregate amount not to exceed $500,000, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and the City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency’s Water Resources Division oversees and maintains the daily operations of the City’s water and sanitary sewer systems. The Division utilizes numerous industrial control panels such as motor control centers, remote terminal units, switchboards, and programmable logic computers to control the various mechanical components of the water and sewer system, including the supervised control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. Ensuring the reliability of the electronic equipment, and the safety of those utilizing it, is of the highest importance to the Water Resources Division (Division).
With an arc flash hazard assessment, the Division can continue to gain a better understanding of the amount of energy that could be released from electrical equipment as a result of an arc flash, as well as how to protect employees from potentially dangerous situations. With the information gathered from the assessment(s), the consultants will develop an updated safety program, which will include revised safety and operational protocols and diagrams, for Water Resources’ electrical equipment and facilities.
On March 8, 2022, the Public Works Agency issued Request for Proposals (RFP) 22-027 for an arc flash safety analysis and development of an updated electrical safety program.
The RFP was advertised on the City’s online bid management and publication system City Council 17 – 1 10/18/2022

Section 1d
City Council 17 – 35 10/18/2022
UNDERSTANDING SCOPE OF SERVICES
The following will be our methodology and approach in executing the proposed Arc Flash Analysis project:
GATHERING INFORMATION & PROVIDING RECOMMENDATIONS
P2S team will review available record drawings, single line diagrams related to existing site and building systems that are provided as part of the RFQ to determine the project’s existing conditions pertaining to the scope of work. A detailed site investigation will then be performed with Hampton Tedder Electrician and Santa Ana Public Works staff to verify all existing site conditions, circuit breaker settings, fuse ratings and check for inconsistencies with code requirements and the aging of any equipment prior to commencing any assessment.
All project scope associated equipment like panelboards, switchboards, motor control centers, associated equipment will be surveyed and feeder lengths will be estimated based on engineering judgment and field verification. P2S will coordinate shut down requirement and possibilities with the City staff and utility before the site survey.
MODELING AND ANALYSIS
P2S team will gather all the information surveyed from the site visit and prepare single line diagrams in ETAP and AutoCAD showing all the information requested in the RFQ. The modeling process can be done simultaneously while the site visits are conducted to expedite the process. P2S will also coordinate with the City to obtain utility contribution information for each site. We understand that obtaining this information may take longer and P2S will work closely with the City account representative and staff to expedite the process.
Once the electrical calculation model is completed and finalized, P2S will perform Short Circuit/Coordination and Arc Flash study of all investigated electrical equipment using the created model. This will include preparing time current curves, performing selective coordination for all electrical equipment, calculating incident energy and arc flash boundaries.
Based on the short circuit study, P2S will provide a report showing the existing interrupting ratings of all the equipment and provide recommendations for any upgrades required to the system.
Based on the coordination study, P2S will provide a report showing the time current curves for all the electrical equipment and provide recommendations for any settings that will need to be changed to achieve desired coordination between overcurrent protective devices in the system.
Based on the arc flash study, P2S will provide a report showing the incident energy levels, arc flash boundaries, approach distance, and the required PPE to operate the equipment. 3”x6” Vinyl Arc Flash labels will be provided per IEEE 1584-2018. Labels will contain all information required by Code and RFQ.
P2S will prepare as-built ETAP and AutoCAD single line diagrams and provide a copy to the City staff for future use.
An NFPA 70E training to maintenance, facilities and other affected staff will be provided on how to interpret the Arc Flash labels. A custom safety program compliant with the current NFPA 70E code will be provided.
P2S recognizes that each client and each project have their specific requirements. As such, we will work closely with the City staff to understand the issues before developing workable and cost-effective solutions.
Recommended approaches and solutions will be discussed with the staff throughout the study and design phases. P2S will participate in the City staff’s meetings and provide updates of the project.

Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, Arc Flash Study To assist Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District in its mission of providing customers with safe, affordable water, P2S provided an Arc Flash Risk Assessment of electrical distribution equipment at over 158 district sites.
Our team created a Short Circuit Contribution Report, an Overcurrent Protective Device Coordination Study, an Arc Flash Risk Mitigation Report and a final Arc Flash Risk Assessment Report for the district. We will be conducting (1) 3-hour Arc Flash and Shock Hazard Electrical Safety training session for district electrical and maintenance personnel.
Our team collected data, verified equipment in the field, created one-line diagrams and safely obtained equipment information for: distribution equipment types and ratings, conductor sizes, conductor lengths, overcurrent protection, and transformer ratings and impedances. We created power system study models in ETAP, based on the field surveys and verified as-builts. We modeled and analyzed switching configurations for the most conservative results for Short Circuit, Coordination, and Arc Flash. We are now in the final stages of the project as we coordinate with Southern California Edison to obtain the utility’s contribution to fault current to complete our final analysis. P2S provided training to facility staff.
PROJECT DATES: January 2017- Ongoing PROJECT OWNER: Elsinore Valley MWD Cal Poly Pomona, Arc Flash, Short Circuit and Coordination Studies P2S provided electrical engineering services for campus-wide arc flash, short circuit and coordination studies in accordance with IEEE 1584, NFPA 70E and NEC from the incoming medium voltage utility service down to low-voltage panels. The purpose of the study was to develop a computer model using Electrical Transient and Analysis Program (ETAP) based on the existing single line diagrams, and data gathered during a field survey of the existing equipment ratings, protective device settings and feeder sizes and lengths. The model has used by the program to calculate the system available fault currents and incident energy levels due to arc flash at each of the medium and low voltage distribution panels and prepare device coordination curves for evaluating the existing overcurrent device settings for coordination with upstream and downstream protective devices. The results of the electrical system analysis were used to make recommendations for improved system coordination and arc flash mitigation measures. P2S also provided labels for the medium and low voltage electrical distribution equipment such as medium and low-voltage switchgear, load interrupter switches, MCC and lowvoltage panels. P2S provided training to facility staff.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
We understand that the scope of the project includes performing arc flash hazard analysis, short circuit interrupting rating analysis, analyzing overcurrent protection coordination, calculating incident energy at each site and determining the arc flash boundary and calorie rating. We understand that the purpose of this analysis is to identify safe work zones and high-risk arc flash areas within the electrical system and recommend mitigation strategies for discovered and known hazards. The study will also provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) recommendations in compliance with NFPA 70E. The study will be performed in accordance with IEEE 1584-2018.
We understand that we will be responsible to collect all the data from approximately 12 sites and confirm the information provided in the drawings and gather any additional information. P2S will not rely solely on the drawings and documentation provided to us and will verify each and every aspect for the study. We understand that the field investigations may need to be performed on live equipment and if the equipment needs to be de-energized, P2S will work with the schedule to identify shut down possibilities on a case by case basis.
P2S will also work with the assigned City of Santa Ana Public Works executive account representative to obtain all the utility contribution data for each site as required to complete the study. We will provide the arc flash labels for all the electrical equipment to be installed by the electricians, however, P2S will be available to support this effort, if deemed necessary at the completion of the project.
P2S has extensive experience in performing short circuit, coordination and arc flash study for water and wastewater. We understand the need for safety in electrical systems and will provide complete engineering solutions based on our analysis. P2S has also conducted arc flash and shock hazard electrical safety training sessions for various electrical and maintenance personnel for various projects and can provide this service to City of Santa Ana Public Works. P2S has provided custom NFPA 70E compliant safety programs to water districts and will review and provide an updated custom safety program to the City of Santa Ana Public Works.
Our deliverables for this project will include:
1. Field investigation reports for all surveyed sites.
2. Complete single line diagrams for all the proposed sites showing all relevant information (in CAD and PDF).
3. Electronic version of the Arc Flash Model prepared by P2S as a raw file.
4. Complete report for all facilities in PDF format including all the information described in Attachment 1 of the RFP.
5. Printed Arc Flash Labels to be installed on equipment in study scope.
