Mr. Raymond H. Moller
Director of Economic Development and Business Services
City of Elgin
150 Dexter Court
Elgin, IL 60120
SUBJECT: Proposal to Provide Environmental Consulting Services
Festival Park Redevelopment Sites
Dear Mr. Moller:
ENSR Corporation (ENSR) is pleased to present this proposal to provide the City of Elgin with
environmental consulting services related to the redevelopment of three properties on the
south side of City Center. These properties include Festival Park, a site to the east slated for a
new townhome redevelopment, and the Crocker Theatre site. Our proposal is submitted in
response to your verbal request of December 10, 2001 and the December 17th meeting with
the Mayor, key City staff, and the development firm.
ENSR is committed to assisting the City in addressing the environmental issues at these
properties in order that the proposed redevelopment plans can proceed. Our proposal
includes an investigation phase that will further define the extent of contamination and a cost-
effective strategy that will allow redevelopment in a timely manner. ENSR will pursue the,
project through the State of Illinois' Site Remediation Program (SRP) so that the City can
ultimately obtain a No Further Remediation (NFR) letter for each site. Securing an NFR for
these parcels will assure the developer, as well as future residents of the sites, that the
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency has reviewed and approved of the investigation and
remediation steps undertaken by ENSR on behalf of the City.
Our 70-person Chicago area client service center (CSC) is located in the western suburb of
Warrenville, Illinois, approximately 20 miles from the Festival Park Redevelopment sites.
The Warrenville CSC has approximately 40 staff capable of performing geologic and
hydrogeologic assessments, assisting with the selection of a remedial method, and designing
and implementing remedial actions once a course of action is selected. Our technical staff is
currently engaged in a wide variety of remediation projects' that range from risk-based
corrective action efforts to full scale hybrid soil and groundwater remediation systems under
IEPA SRP regulations.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
ENSR Corporation (ENSR) is pleased to present this proposal to assist the City of Elgin with
environmental matters related to the redevelopment of the Festival Park site and two adjacent
parcels that are planned for residential redevelopment. The sites are identified and described as
follows:
• Festival Park Site — This site occupies approximately 4.2 acre S and is a landscaped parcel
bordered by Prairie Street to the north, South Grove Avenue to Ithe east, a bicycle path along
the Fox River to the west, and Lake Street to the south. We inderstand the City intends to
further develop this property as park space with the construction of a pavilion, additional public
park features,and compensatory storage for storm water.
• Townhome Redevelopment Site — This site comprises a 5.0-acre area located east of the
Festival Park site. The site is currently a parking lot and landscaped space. Development
plans call for the construction of townhomes on this property.
• Crocker Theatre Site—The Crocker Theatre is located to the north of the Festival Park Site and
is approximately 1.5 acres. The Site currently has two structure :the Crocker Theater building
and the Coin Shop. The City is interested in redevelopment of this property for residential use
with the construction of a condominium building.
To address the environmental issues associated with redevelopment of the three sites, ENSR has
made a preliminary review of the Phase I Environmental Site AsSessment Reports prepared by -
others for these sites. A listing of the prior reports upon which ENSFk relied to develop this proposal
is provided in Attachment A
Our proposal has been organized into five sections. This section, the Introduction, presents an
overview of the proposal document ENSR's proposed approach and scope of work are discussed
in Section 2.0. Section 3.0 provides a summary of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's
Site Remediation Program and the steps typically required to obtain a No Further Remediation
letter. ENSR's Project Team and management approach are presented in Section 4.0. The final
section, Section 5.0, presents an estimated cost to perform the scrpe of work outlined in Section
2.0.

A
2.0 PROJECT APPROACH AND SCOPE,OF WORK
2.1 Project Understanding and Objectives
ENSR understands that the City of Elgin is interested in neg tiating an agreement with a
development firm to redevelop the Townhome Site and the Crocl er Theatre site. The City also
intends to make improvements to the Festival Park Site to enhancelithespace with the construction
of a band shellpavilion. Part of these improvements also call for the excavation of soils to provide
compensatory storage volume for storm water.
Based on the site development plans, the City is interested in pursuing remediation to residential
standards for all three properties.
The goal of ENSR's work will be to provide environmental service and consultation to allow the
three sites to be investigated in accordance with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's
(IEPA's)Site Remediation Program(SRP). The first major milestone will be the completion of a site
investigation and remediation objectives evaluation to determine the scope of remedial activities
necessary to achieve site clean up objectives that are consistent with the planned residential
redevelopment. The evaluation of environmental contaminants will be conducted in accordance
with Tier 1 residential clean up objectives as set forth under the Title 35 Part 742—Tiered Approach
to Corrective Action Objectives(TACO)regulations.
This first phase of the project will be conducted during the develo'per's 120 day feasibility review
period so that identified environmental issues can be taken into consideration prior to the
finalization of the redevelopment agreement between the City and the developer. ENSR will also
serve to coordinate the environmental regulatory review of the threesites in an effort to expedite the
project toward the eventual issuance of No Further Remediation(Ntt11l,R)letters by the IEPA.
Future phases of the project, which are not included in the scope] of work proposed herein, may
include the design and planning of remediation activities (i.e. Remedial Action Plan), implementing
or providing oversight for remedial activity, final reporting of remedial activity and negotiation of an
NFR letter.
2.2 Scope of Work
ENSR proposes to complete the following tasks to implement our technical approach at the three
redevelopment sites in the City of Elgin.

Task 100—SRP Application/Regulatory Coordination
Task 200—Site Investigation Work Plan
Task 300—Soil Investigation
Task 400—Area-wide Groundwater Assessment
Task 500 Site Investigation Reports
Task 600-Remediation Objectives Report
Task 700—Project Management/Meetings
Each of the tasks is described in the sections below.
Task 100—SRP Application/Regulatory Coordination
As the environmental consultant serving the City on this redevelopment program, ENSR will initiate
contact with the Illinois EPA's Site Remediation Program and coordinate the technical aspects of
the program during the course of the project. The process will start with the completion of a SRP
application form (DRM-1)for each of the three sites. Based on the December 17th meeting, ENSR
believes that enrolling the three properties into the SRP as discrete sites will benefit the program.
For example, in the event different remedial activities are idenfified for different sites; separate
applications will allow each site to proceed independently toward si a No Further Remediation letter.
Also, ENSR foresees the potential for different ownership of the three parcels at a later point in
time. Separate applications will ensure that any property use conditions required by the NFR will
apply only to the specific site and not to all three properties.
The SRP requires the submittal of a $500 partial payment cheCk made payable to the State of
Illinois upon enrollment of each site. The City will also be respOnsible for IEPA costs associated
with review of the project deliverables and oversight activities performed by the Agency. ENSR has
not included the costs for these fees in our proposal.
Since the City has possession of current Phase I Environmental Assessment Reports for each site,
ENSR will submit these reports to the Illinois EPA with the initial SRP application. Providing the
available information to the IEPA at the earliest date is expected to help expedite IEPA's review
effort.
The SRP application is also the preferred decision point where ttie applicant indicates its choice to
pursue a focused or comprehensive NFR letter. A comprehensive NFR is based on an
investigation program aimed at identifying all recognized environmental conditions and related
contaminants of concern at a site. A focused NFR is intended to address specified and limited
number of environmental conditions or contaminants of concerri Based on ENSR's knowledge of
the sites,and the intended redevelopment efforts, ENSR is of the understanding that a
comprehensive NFR is desired. If unanticipated environmental conditions are encountered at the
sites,a decision to change the goal of the process to a focused NFR may become necessary.

IN TERRA TiONAL
Regulatory coordination efforts anticipated by ENSR include:
• One initial kick-off meeting with the SRP Project Manager to establish project goals and present
the planned site investigation approach. This meeting is assurned to take place in Springfield,
Illinois.
• Regular phone contacts with the SRP Project Manager to track Agency review, and expedites
response to any IEPA questions or comments.
• Participate in one on-site meeting with the SRP Project Manager to inspect the sites.
Task 200-Site Investigation Work Plan
As part of this task, ENSR will prepare a Site Investigation Work Plan (SIWP) describing
supplemental investigation activities including drilling and monitoring well installation details
and soil and groundwater sampling protocols. The SIWP will include a site-specific Health and
Safety Plan (HASP)to ensure the safety of all drilling and samplirig personnel. The HASP will be
used by field personnel, along with the investigation approach presented in this proposal,to guide
drilling and sampling activities. The HASP will provide a list of emergency telephone numbers
and directions to the nearest medical facility. The SIWP will b issued in draft to the City for
review prior to submittal to the IEPA SRP Project Manager.
The SIWP will be developed based on available information, further discussion with the City,
and/or refinement of the project objectives. The SIWP will reflect the findings of the Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment reports and input from City personnel who may have direct
knowledge of past and present facility operations at the three ites.
SRP procedures do not require the submittal of a separate IWP document to obtain IEPA
approval. However, ENSR has recognized the benefit of doing so, particularly in instances
where a comprehensive NFR is sought. The Agency's review of the work plan helps to
achieve buy-in with respect to the planned investigation work. If the schedule constraints will
allow, ENSR will take this approach.
Task 300—Soil Investigation
As part of mobilization activities for this task, ENSR will ecure contracts with a drilling
subcontractor, and analytical laboratory to perform the work activities described in this section. In
conjunction with the subcontractor mobilization activities, ENSR Will notify the Joint Utility Locating
Information for Excavators (JULIE) service (the subsurface utility clearance service for the state of

Illinois) to arrange utility clearance for the site prior to initiatin• drilling and sampling activities.
ENSR will also request available site surveys and utility layout dra ings from City personnel so that
unmarked utility lines and other infrastructure features can be loca ed.
As part of Task 300 sampling activities, ENSR will advance soil brings to depths of 12 feet below
grade using direct push technology. Two soil samples will be coll:cted from each boring, based on
photoionization detector (PID), olfactory, and visual screening to delineate the vertical and
horizontal extent of impacted soils. One soil sample from each bo ehole will target the upper 3-foot
interval of the soils, while the second sample will assess subsurf ace conditions below 3 feet. Soil
samples will be selected for laboratory analysis based on field screening results and geologic
characterization. Soil boring locations will be finalized in the field ince the utility and infrastructure
layouts are evaluated.
Soils generated during drilling activities will be returned to the bor:holes. If the borehole collapses
or if the soil cannot be returned for other reasons, the soil will be placed in a 55-gallon DOT
approved steel drum and labeled with the contents. The costs to c aracterize, contain,and dispose
of the containerized soil are not included in this proposal.
Table 2-1 below summarizes the scope of the soil investigation efforts that are included in our
proposed costs.

The above list of analytical parameters is based on the SRP guid lines and assumes that the IEPA
will accept the Phase I ESAs as appropriate evidence that pe ticides and herbicides, or other
constituents not listed above,are not an issue at the sites.
Task 400—Area-wide Groundwater Assessment
Based on ENSR's preliminary review of the Phase I ESA repo is and preliminary Phase II study
conducted at the redevelopment sites,an area-wide groundwater :ssessment is recommended. To
ENSR's knowledge, none of the previous investigation efforts have addressed groundwater to
determine if it is impacted above applicable standards. ENSR bel eves that this is a necessary step
considering the documented environmental conditions cited in the Phase I reports, the known
historical groundwater issues at the Riverboat complex adjace t to the sites, and the relatively
shallow groundwater depth identified by the Preliminary Pha-e II Environmental Investigation
(Patrick Engineering, 10/4/01).
Since all three of the redevelopment sites are contiguous (excl ding the public right of ways for.
streets), ENSR recommends an area-wide groundwater assess ent that will encompass all three
parcels as a single study area. Provided groundwater condition- are found to be generally similar
for all three sites,this area-wide groundwater approach will reduc: the cost of the initial assessment
activity. If individual parcels are shown to have unique g oundwater issues (i.e. different
contaminants of concern)then additional groundwater characterization efforts may be required.
To characterize groundwater quality and flow direction, ENSR ill construct seven groundwater
monitoring wells, obtain water level measurements and collect •roundwater samples. In addition,
groundwater field measurements (pH, dissolved oxygen, redox potential and specific conductance)
will be measured down-well using a calibrated field probe to help evaluate the geochemistry of the
groundwater.
Groundwater samples collected from each well will be analyzed for the analytical parameters listed
in Table 2-2 below.

The above list of analytical parameters is based on the SRP guidelines and assumes that the IEPA
will accept the Phase I ESAs as appropriate evidence that pesticides and herbicides, or other
constituents not listed above,are not an issue at the sites.
Task 500—Site Investigation Reports
ENSR will prepare individual Site Investigation Reports(SIRs)to address recognized environmental
conditions and constituents of concern (COCs) identified during the site investigation activities
described in Tasks 300 and 400. The SIRs will describe field methods and procedures
implemented along with analytical results from soil and groundwater samples collected at each site
in order to characterize the lateral and horizontal extent of COCs at each site.
The SIRs will be prepared in a manner consistent with the SRP regulations (35 III.Adm. Code Part
740) and will include sections applicable to each site. As noted previously, ENSR anticipates that
each SIR will rely upon the results of the area-wide groundwater assessment to address the
characterization of groundwater.
As required by the SRP regulations, the site investigation resorts will be prepared under the
direction of and signed by a licensed professional engineer.
Task 600—Remediation Objectives Report
Based on the results of the site investigation activities, ENSR wil determine applicable remediation
objectives(ROs)for the three sites. The development of ROs wil be based on the Tiered Approach
to Corrective Action Objectives (TACO) regulations(35 III. Adm. Code Part 742). Further, with the
2-7

ENR.
/N?ERNA TONAL
understanding that the parcels will be redeveloped for residential or public park use, ENSR will
focus on developing remediation objectives consistent with residential reuse of the sites.
As the residential clean up objectives are the most stringent st ndards, ENSR will also consider
and evaluate the potential to apply other provisions of TACO t at permit exclusion of exposure
pathways as a means of reducing remedial activities. Based on i formation known about the sites,
these considerations may include the following:
• Use of engineered barriers to prevent exposure to impacted s ils through the soil ingestion and
soil inhalation exposure pathways. Engineered barriers th t may be applicable to the sites
include asphalt parking lots,building foundation slabs,or the avilion structure.
• Use of area background concentrations as screening tools or s remediation objectives.
• Use of institutional controls to restrict groundwater use on the property as a means of excluding
the groundwater ingestion exposure pathway.
For the purpose of this proposal, evaluation of remediation o•jectives using Tier 2 or Tier 3
methods is not anticipated and not included in the estimated level .f effort and cost.
Task 700—Project Management/Meetings
To facilitate and expedite the work, ENSR will need to be in egular communication with City
personnel and the developer to ensure that the environme tal aspects of the project are
coordinated with other development plans. ENSR will attend two meetings with the City and/or the
developer during the course of the project to facilitate such comm nication.
Task 700 activities also include time allocation for the ENSR Proj-ct Manager and Cost Analyst to
review project costs, schedule, and personnel requirements. As part of this task, ENSR's Project
Manager will contact the City for approving work when work a tivities are complete or when a
change in the project scope is identified.

3.0 SRP OVERVIEW AND PROJECT EXPERIENCE
ENSR has assisted several clients in obtaining No Further Remediation (NFR)letters in accordance
with SRP guidelines. The SRP is a voluntary program that was developed to provide persons
performing investigation or corrective action activities, at sites where there was a release of
hazardous substances,the opportunity to demonstrate that environmental conditions do not present
a significant risk to human health or the environment. An overview of the SRP process is provided
below. A summary of ENSR's SRP project experience is presented on Table 3-1.
Site closure within the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) Site Remediation Program
(SRP) requires performing investigation and remedial action tasks in accordance with specific SRP
technical protocols,conformance with data quality objectives, and preparation of project documents
in specific formats. Regulations pertaining to the SRP are found in 35 Illinois Administrative Code
(IAC)Part 740.
Site Remediation Program Process
Under the SRP, the remedial applicant can pursue
either a 'Comprehensive' or 'Focused' No Further • Application
Remediation (NFR) letter. A comprehensive NFR , • Site Investigation Report
letter is issued when the applicant has successfully • Remediation Objectives Report
demonstrated that target compounds listed in 35 Remedial Action Plan
IAC Part 740 Appendix A do not present a • Conduct Required Remediation
significant risk to human health or the environment
•
(i.e., concentrations are below the 35 IAC Part 742 Remedial Action Completion Report
•
Tiered Approach to Corrective Action Objectives). Request NFR Letter
A focused NFR letter, as the name implies, is based on demonstrating that specific contaminants
from the 35 IAC Part 740 target compound list, or those related to a specific source, have been
remediated to a level that is protective of human health and the environment,
An NFR letter signifies a release from further responsibility under the Illinois Environmental
Protection Act and is considered prima fade evidence that the site does not constitute a significant
risk to human health and the environment provided the site is used in accordance with the terms of
the NFR letter. The NFR letter does not become effective until it has been recorded with the
County Office of the Recorder of Deeds so that it forms a permanent part of the chain of title and
serves as notification to future owners of the terms of the NFR letter.
ENSR's scope of work, as discussed previously in Section 2.0, will address SRP elements
beginning with the SRP application through development of a remediation objectives report. A
synopsis of SRP submittal requirements is provided below.

3.1 SRP Application
The application is structured such that it provides IEPA with ge eral information regarding the site
and surrounding properties, description of current and propose. post-remediation uses for the site
and whether the site is pursuing a comprehensive or focused FR letter. SRP Form DRM-1 is
used for this purpose.
3.2 Site Investigation Report
The Site Investigation Report (SIR) will address recogniz-d environmental conditions and
contaminants of concern identified during site investigation ctivities conducted at each site.
Existing data along with data obtained in the supplemental invest gation proposed in Section 2.0 will
be used to identify risk to human health and the environment, •etermine site-specific remediation
objectives, select cost effective and technically feasible remedial alternatives and to
develop/implement a Remedial Action Plan.
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment(ESA) is a general reuirement of the SRP whenever a
comprehensive NFR is being sought. The existing Phase I ES reports, as listed in Appendix A,
will be used to provide this information to the Agency.
3.3 Remediation Objectives Report
)
A Remediation Objectives Report (ROR) is required by an applicant to the SRP to address
recognized environmental conditions and related contaminants of concern identified during the
comprehensive site investigation. The ROR presents project remediation objectives developed in
accordance with 35 IAC Part 742,Tiered Approach to Corrective action Objectives(TACO).
Under TACO, a remedial applicant has the option Options under TACO for Developing
of using site-specific conditions and remediation Site Remediation Objectives
goals (residential or industrial/commercial) to
evaluate site risks and remediation objectives
• Tier 1 'Look Up Tables'
(ROs). • Tier 2 Calculated Objectives
• Tier 3 Risk Assessment Models
• Pathway Exclusion
Each of the TACO options is described briefly
• Area Background Concentrations
below.
• Tier 1 provides a set of "look-up" tables that provide baseline ROs for both residential and
commercial/industrial land use. The industrial/commercial objectives, based on exposure
duration and other risk factors, are less stringent and subsequently higher than the residential
ROs.

ENR
• Tier 2 provides a set of equations and default assumptions that can be used in conjunction with
a limited number of site-specific soil and groundwater parameters to develop site-specific ROs.
• Tier 3 allows use of detailed fate and transport and risk assessment models for the
development of site-specific ROs along with other technical rationales for site closure.
• Exclusion ofexposure pathways is based on Environmental Land Use Controls
source control coupled with the use of
- environmental land use controls (ELUC) to
limit human exposure through a given • Ordinance Restricting the Use of
pathway. If an exposure route is excluded Groundwater
from consideration, then no numeric cleanup • Engineered Barrier
objective need be developed for that • Institutional Controls
exposure route.
• Area background concentrations for contaminants of conce can be used as the RO when the
background level does not pose an acute threat to human h alth or the environment.
The ROR will provide an explanation on how RO are sel cted or developed, describe the
proposed corrective action strategy, and discuss how the p oposed corrective measures will
address recognized environmental conditions. .
3.4 Remedial Action Plan
A Remedial Action Plan (RAP) addresses the scope and sc edule for implementing remedial
activities. The RAP generally includes a statement of remediatio objectives, provides a description
of remedial technologies selected, and includes a confirmation ampling program to document the
performance of the remedial action method(s)selected.
ENSR has not included costs for development of a RAP at thi point in time. Development of a
technically feasible and cost effective RAP will be contingent n results of the site investigation
program described in Section 2.0 and subsequent development f site-specific ROs. The RAP will
also need to consider other constraints and site limitations that ay be imposed by the City based
on development schemes planned for the two redevelopmen sites. Conversely, some of the
proposed redevelopment plans, such as construction of parkin lots, may affect the selection of
remedial methods for each of the sites.

5.0 BUDGET TERMS AND ASSUMPTIONS
5.1 Budget Estimate
ENSR proposes to conduct the scope of work described in Tasks 100 through 700 of this proposal
on a Time & Materials Basis in accordance with our Standar Terms and General Conditions
(Attachment B). The estimated base cost to execute the ork described in Section 2.0 is
$63,173. A summary of estimated project costs by task is pre ented in Table 5-1. Table 5-2
presents the proposed hourly billing rates for ENSR personnel nd mark ups applicable to Other
Direct Costs.
5.2 Cost Assumptions
ENSR's cost estimate presented in Table 5-1 was developed usinl the following assumptions.
• All borings and monitoring wells will be advanced on prope 1, owned by the City. ENSR has
not included costs to obtain permits to drill in utility right-of-wa s or privately owned properties.
• The proposed costs assume three 8-hour days on site w th the drilling contractor for the
advancement of soil borings and monitoring well construction :nd sampling.
• Neither ENSR nor its subcontractors are responsible for th: replacement of utilities that are
unknown or that are not marked by the local utility clearance .ervice (JULIE) or the City unless
such utilities are damaged as a result of ENSR or its su•contractor's negligence or willful
misconduct.
• Fieldwork will be performed under reasonable weather con•itions and without major weather
delays. No costs have been included for unusually seve e weather conditions or access
difficulties.
• Work will occur during normal business hours, Monday t rough Friday, based on 8-hour
workdays. ENSR has also assumed that we will have access to all drilling locations.
• Investigation Derived Wastes (IDW) generated as a result o'onsite work will be containerized
by ENSR and its subcontractors. Costs for characterization and disposal are not included in
this proposal.
• ENSR's estimated cost to prepare the SRP project deliverabl-s is based on our experience on
similar projects. Site investigation and report costs are dep-ndent on the type and extent of
contamination that is identified at the sites. For the purpos- of the preliminary cost estimates
•resented herein, ENSR has assumed that the existin. Phase II ESA has defined the
i 5-1

EN.'t
constituents of concern(primarily petroleum-related compounds). If additional sources,or other
constituents of concern, are identified during the project, then the estimated costs can be
expected to increase to account for additional investigative and reporting efforts.
• ENSR and its subcontractors will take reasonable care and pr caution to minimize the impact of
the drilling equipment on the landscaped areas of the three ites. However, ENSR will not be
responsible for damage to landscape materials or turf, unless caused by our negligence or lack
of reasonable care while conducting field activities.
• The City will provide adequate property boundary surveys w legal descriptions for the three
sites to properly record the NFR letters.
• All laboratory analytical work will be performed at standard(fi to seven day)turnaround times.
