Proposal No. 91606692
Dear Mr. Moller:
Warzyn Inc. (Warzyn) welcomes the opportunity to submit this proposal to the
City of Elgin for the performance of a Phase I Environmental Assessment of the
above referenced sites. This proposal is provided in response to our March 2,
1992 meeting. A description of proposed project tasks, a schedule for project
performance, and an estimated budget are also provided.
SCOPE OF WORK
It is understood the investigation will focus on various city blocks and their
associated lots and operations located in the City of Elgin (City), as indicated
below. Current operations at the study site include the following:
• Kelliber- Huber Brick
216 Brook Street
• Elgin Salvage Clothing
115-119 Kimball Street
• Lumber Yard
200-222 Douglas Avenue
• Truck Parts - Repair

WARZYN
• Insty Print
207 Kimball Street
• Vacant Lot
225 N. Grove Avenue
Warzyn proposes to conduct a Phase I Environmental Assessment at each of the
above referenced sites. The Phase I will concentrate on visual observation of the
property during a site walkthrough, and collection and review of available
background information concerning the site. Based on the nature of this property,
Warzyn will specifically conduct the following services:
• Record on-site observations of site activities and operations
• Review available state and federal lists pertaining to identified or
potential sites of contamination, reported spills, RCRA Compliance,
registered underground storage tanks, etc., within the zip code area of
the site
• Investigate past land uses through review of aerial photographs or
historical documents, as available
• Report on-site waterbodies, surface water discharges, wetlands, and
other environmentally sensitive areas
• Identify areas of potential on-site contamination inside and outside site
buildings
• Review past and present on-site hazardous material use and waste
disposal practices, as possible
• Identify possible presence of underground storage tanks, wells, or other
buried articles that may pose an environmental concern
• Identify potential environmental impact to site resulting from
surrounding land uses
• Observe and record potential asbestos containing materials (ACM) in
exposed locations
• Identify potential polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) sources and
contaminated areas
Mr.Raynimd Moller June 10.1992 City of Elgin

WARZYN
• Prepare a technical report
The Phase I report will include a separate section which addresses each of the
identified operations. It is assumed that Warzyn will conduct the assessments in
one day and follow the schedule listed below.
Schedule: Week 1 - Receive authorization to proceed
Week 2 - Perform site visits, historical review, and
database search
Week 3 - Provide verbal reports and develop technical
report
Week 4 - Develop technical report
Week 5 - Develop technical report
Week 6 - Submit draft technical report for review and
comments
Week 7 - Submit final technical report
In addition to conducting Warzyn's standard Phase I activities, Warzyn's site
representative will be prepared to collect bulk samples from potential asbestos
containing materials (ACM) in exposed areas. This will provide general
information regarding the presence of ACM within the facility and on specific
structures. Sampling will only be performed upon approval from the City, and
will be performed according to standard Warzyn protocol (attached). Collected
samples will be sent to an analytical laboratory certified by U.S. EPA for analysis
of asbestos.
The cost for analysis of samples is approximately $25 per sample. It is assumed
no more than 5 ACM samples will be collected at any site, and that access will be
provided by the tenant. If more samples must be obtained, additional labor
charges may be incurred. Analytical costs for ACM samples and additional labor
charges have not been included in this proposal.
The purpose of the asbestos sampling program is to obtain general information
regarding the possible presence of this substance within the facility, and not to
define the extent or magnitude of this problem. Therefore, it will not be possible
to develop remediation cost estimates based on this preliminary data. A more
detailed asbestos survey and sampling program would be required.
If additional services are requested by the client, such as sampling and analysis
(i.e., Phase II activities), these services will be invoiced on a time and materials
basis according to the attached fee schedule.

WARZYN
The lump sum cost of performing the listed seven Phase I Environmental
Assessments is $20,000. If the City of Elgin is not able to obtain permission to
conduct all seven assessments, the lump sum cost would decrease $2,500 for each
assessment not conducted. No more than two assessments (total of$5,000) will
be deducted from the lump sum.
Authorization to proceed can be accomplished by returning the following items to
our attention:
• One signed copy of the attached Professional Services Agreement (PSA)
• One signed copy of the attached Work Order.
CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Right-of-access to the sites will be provided by the City of Elgin. A
representative of the owner or current tenant should be available on-site at the
time of the site visit, unless other arrangements have been made. It is assumed
the City of Elgin will obtain authorization from property owners for access, and
will notify existing occupants of the work to be performed. Information collected
during the assessment will be maintained as confidential unless Warzyn is
required to disclose such information by law. Should such circumstances exist,
Warzyn will notify the City of Elgin before any such disclosure is made.
ASSUMPTIONS & ASSESSMENT LIMITATIONS
Conditions which limit the effectiveness of visual observations (such as snow or
thick vegetation) may interfere with the identification of possible site
contamination (soil staining, stressed vegetation, etc.) or potentially significant
environmental factors (underground tanks, buried drums, etc.). The visual survey
for potential ACM will be limited to typical applications of ACM in exposed
areas. Identification of unusual uses of ACM (such as in plastered walls or
ventilation duct interiors) and ACM in unexposed areas (such as above drop
ceilings) is beyond the scope of this assessment.

PROPERTY ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
WARZYN INC.
Warzyn Inc. (Warzyn) conducts the Environmental Assessment process using a
phased approach. This approach allows us to provide more consistent and cost-
effective services for our clients, and facilitates scheduling, quality control, and
overall coordination of our support services. Information is collected and
evaluated in stages, and discussed with the client upon the completion of each
phase. Further activities are then initiated after mutual agreement between the
client and Warzyn. Commercial, residential, and undeveloped property
assessments are typically completed in one phase; however, second and third
phase activities may be required for industrial properties, properties exhibiting
substantial contamination, or sites for which remediation is required.
PHASE I
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The Phase I Assessment includes the collection and review of site specific
background data, and an on-site visual reconnaissance of the property. The
background survey focuses on determining past and present use of the property.
This data may include:
• Site plans/construction drawings/historical aerial photographs
• Land use/zoning maps/USGS topographic maps/wetland & floodplain
maps
• Permits or permit applications/violations/corrective action
documentation
• Hazardous waste generator status/waste characterization sheets
• Soil borings or water well logs
• Information on present and past plant practices/waste disposal practices
• Past and present land use/site operations
• Federal and State lists regarding sites of identified contamination
• Underground storage tank registrations
Appropriate regulatory agencies may be contacted regarding past operations at the
site. Air, water, wastewater, or hazardous waste permits or permit applications
may be reviewed if available, in addition to copies of permit violations and
corrective actions. Readily available site information, such as USGS topographic
maps, Soil Conservation Service soil maps, State Water Survey publications, state
wetland and floodway maps, and miscellaneous maps and publications regarding
the general geological and hydrological conditions at the site, may also be
reviewed.
A walkthrough of the site is made after or during the review of available
information. An environmental specialist looks for signs of potential
environmental problems or concerns, which may include buried or discarded
drums or containers; stained, discolored, or disturbed soils; stressed vegetation;
pipes or other objects protruding from the ground; underground storage tanks; or
insulating material on pipes and walls. Existing operations on surrounding
properties are reviewed to determine the potential for migration of contaminants
onto the site investigated. The assessment also focuses on general environmental
compliance issues, and evaluation of potential groundwater and surface water
migration pathways from the site.
PHASE II
SAMPLING OF POTENTIAL AREAS OF CONTAMINATION
Additional data may be needed to better assess site conditions and improve the
decision-making process associated with the site. The second phase of the
assessment consists of supplemental field work related specifically to the
environmental setting of the site and potential environmental concerns identified
during the Phase I Assessment. Phase II field work may consist of:
• Collection of surface wipe samples to determine potential
polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination on floors or walls near
an existing or former PCB source
• Performance of an asbestos survey and sampling program to identify the
presence and extent of asbestos
• Drilling of soil borings and collection of soil samples to determine
potential subsurface soil contamination
• Installation of monitoring wells and sampling/analysis of groundwater
to assess possible groundwater contamination
• Geophysical surveys to determine the locations of buried metallic
objects or the migration of contaminated groundwater plumes
• Performance of soil gas surveys to investigate potential contamination
of subsurface soils by volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
• Testing of underground storage tanks to identify possible leaks
• Collection and analysis of surface water and sediment samples to
investigate and define site contamination
• Delineation of wetland areas, including collection of representative
hydrophytic (water-adapted) plants and soil samples for determining
status of investigation area
• Evaluation of facility practices, waste streams, and discharges to assess
compliance related to existing state and federal regulations
The data collected during the Phase II investigation is used to estimate the
potential environmental risks associated with the site. The results of the sampling
and analysis efforts are compared to applicable federal or state environmental
standards for groundwater, surface water, and soils. Where no standards exist, the
results are compared to background conditions at the site or in the vicinity.
PHASE III
SUPPLEMENTAL INVESTIGATION TO BETTER DEFINE
EXTENT OR IMPACTS
If required, Phase III activities are typically performed to further define the lateral
and vertical extent of contamination discovered during the Phase II investigation.
Phase III studies may also include an environmental risk assessment addressing
the concentration of residual site contaminants. This would consist of an
exposure assessment of affected areas of the site, examining contaminant toxicity,
population at risk, and the effects of short and long-term exposures. A Phase III
might also be initiated to investigate the effectiveness of various remediation
alternatives for previously defined areas of contamination.
SUMMARY
In summary, Warzyn's environmental assessment program focuses on providing
consistent, cost effective services for our clients. This program facilitates
scheduling, quality control/quality assurance and overall coordination of our
technical support services. The goal is to identify known or potential
environmental problems for our clients and evaluate the impact of such problems
in "real" terms. Further, we focus on the resolution of environmental concerns.
By understanding client needs as a result of years of experience in environmental
work, Warzyn is able to collect relevant data and meet final project goals, whether
they are determined by regulatory liabilities, financial liabilities or insurability.

TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Larry L. Rice, City Manager
SUBJECT: Phase I Environmental Testing - Kimball Street
Right-of-way Properties
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to advise the Mayor
and City Council that the firm with the low quote for the
Phase I testing at the Kimball Street sites is unable to
negotiate a contract with the City for the required servic-
es. The next low bidder (Warzyn, Inc. ) has agreed to reduce
its fee from $23, 100 to $20,000.
BACKGROUND
In April, Council authorized staff to enter into an
agreement with Metcalf & Eddy (M&E) for Phase I audits of
property on Kimball Street.
1. Kelliher-Huber Brick (216 Brook St. )
2. Elgin Salvage Clothing Center ( 115-119 Kimball St. )
3. Allenton Lumber (200-222 Douglas Ave. )
4 . Truck Parts and Repairs ( 165 Kimball St. )
5. Pit Pro (205 Kimball St. )
6. Insty Print (207 Kimball St. )
7. Storage Lot (205 N. Grove Ave. )
M&E submitted a Professional Service Agreement to the
City for the work. The agreement was reviewed and modified
so that it conformed with other PSA's for similar work that
the City had entered into with other firms. M&E was unwill-
ing to agree to the modifications as submitted by the. City.
Disagreement existed with respect to "hold harmless", - "indem-
nification" and "insurance" language.
When it appeared that an agreement with M&E would not be
reached, staff contacted Warzyn, Inc. (next lowest quote) to
determine if the original quote of $23, 100 could be reduced.

Two months have been lost as a result of the failure to
reach an agreement with M&E. Several acquisitions are being
delayed pending the results of the Phase I audits.
Warzyn, Inc. and the City have signed PSA's containing
language similar to that which was submitted to M&E.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Warzyn, Inc. has revised its quote from $23, 100 to
$20,000.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the
City Manager to contract with Warzyn, Inc. for Phase I audits
on certain property located on Kimball Street.
