CITY OF ORILLIA

TO: Members of Council

FROM: MURF Design Committee

DATE: April 5, 2006

SUBJECT: Design and Construction Administration Services for a Gas

Venting System – MURF

Recommendation

THAT as recommended by Gartner Lee Ltd., a contract for Design and
Construction Administration Services for a Gas Venting System at the Multi-use
Recreation Facility located at 255 West Street South, be awarded to R. J.
Burnside and Associates Limited at the cost of $139,360, as set out in their
proposal dated March 31, 2006.

Background

Gartner Lee was retained to prepare a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the
detailed design and construction administration for the gas venting system, to
undertake an evaluation of the proposals received and make recommendations
to the City on award.

Discussion

The attached memorandum, dated April 5, 2006, from Mr. Mark Sungaila of
Gartner Lee provides background information on the invitation for proposals and
an evaluation of the two bids that were received.

The Design Committee concurs with the recommendations set out in the
memorandum and recommends acceptance of the R. J. Burnside and Associates
Limited proposal (Burnside).

Both proposals met the base criteria requirements of the Request for Proposals.
Even though there is a considerable price difference in the bids, the Gartner Lee
report identified a more comprehensive workplan in the Burnside proposal. The
additional scope of work includes an independent baseline assessment of soil
gas distribution and concentrations within the footprint of the building through on-
site sampling and monitoring. Installation of a network of flux boxes will simulate
an impermeable barrier and allow for an assessment of vapour migration and
collection below floor slabs, parking lots etc. A Pilot Scale Test will also be
undertaken. A 5m x 5m test plot will be constructed on the area of highest level
of contamination on the site and essentially simulates the system and verifies the

assumptions for the completion of the detailed design. With the public concerns
previously expressed about the effectiveness of the gas venting system, this
additional workplan will be beneficial. The Burnside proposal also includes the
preparation of a construction cost estimate and life cycle costing, which will
consider both capital and operating cost for a lifespan of 50 years.

Schedule

Both proposals contemplate a project start of April 11th and completion by mid to
late July, 2006.

In the next few weeks, Council will be considering remediation options to deal
with the source area contamination on the site, including potential building
relocation scenarios. It is recommended by Gartner Lee that relocation of the
building may have a significant impact on the consultants work. In order to
address this concern it is recommended that the timing of the commencement of
the work be dependent upon further discussions with Gartner Lee and Burnside
to determine if any portion of the workplan can commence prior to the outcome of
the upcoming discussions on building relocation.

Financial Impact

Once it was identified that a gas venting system was required, Shore Tilbe Irwin
& Partners advised that their professional insurance did not allow them to
undertake the design of the environmental components and therefore the City
was required to retain the consultant to undertake detailed design.

Although the capital cost for the gas venting system was included in the last
costing undertaken by Curran McCabe, no allowance has been made in the
consulting budget for the design. This budget will need to be increased to reflect
the design cost.

1. Proponent’s Qualifications, Experience, and Past Performance with
Similar Projects

CH2M HILL Canada Limited (CH2M HILL) is a global leader in full-service engineering, construction, and operations
services. What differentiates CH2M HILL is our strong commitment to partnering with clients to achieve their full
strategic and operational agendas. Our goal on every project is not just to meet requirements but to outperform,
delivering innovative, yet practical solutions. The result: a distinguished track record of value-creating client
successes on projects of every scope and size across every continent.

With a network of 10 offices across the country, CH2M HILL serves eastern and central Canada through its Canadian
headquarters in Toronto and offices in Ottawa and Kitchener/Waterloo. We are also able to draw on the strength of the
CH2M HILL family of companies’ global network, which allows our clients to access the resources and expertise of a
staff of more than 30,000 in nearly 350 offices around the world. Since its formation, CH2M HILL has been winning
awards from Canada’s most recognized engineering associations and all levels of government for innovation and
excellence in its engineering projects. Of particular relevance to this project are our capabilities as an industry-leading
environmental firm. We have extensive experience in carrying out environmental site assessments (ESAs) and risk
assessment (RAs), preparing remediation strategies, and providing contract administration and construction oversight
on challenging environmental projects. Our expertise in these areas are reflected in the long-standing working
relationships we enjoy with our environmental clients, as well as in our projects that have been selected as recipients of
a “Brownie” Award by the Canadian Urban Institute (http://canadianbrownfields.ca/) over the last 5 years. We are proud
of these awards recognizing our excellence in brownfield redevelopment at sites in Hamilton and Toronto.

The following project descriptions demonstrate our qualifications, expertise, knowledge, and experience in carrying
out ESAs, RAs, and remediation strategies, and in providing contract administration and construction oversight for
assignments similar to those proposed.

1.1 Project #1 – West Don Lands Site Brownfield Redevelopment
The environmental characterization of the West Don Lands (WDL) site is a typical project delivered by CH2M HILL’s
Environmental Business Group. Assessing a brownfield property, preparing RAs, reporting on findings, and
conducting remediation are all typical to an environmental characterization project. The biggest determining factor in
the WDL’s success was whether it was possible to meet the extremely aggressive schedule for this very public
project in the midst of a changing regulatory environment in Ontario. The short answer is: yes. It was.

Understanding the Vision – Revitalizing the site involved preparing 36 hectares (ha) for the 2015 Pan/Parapan
American Games Athletes’ Village (PAAV), in the short term, and in the longer term, mixed-use buildings, housing,
parks, and roads. The future land owners and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) had to be assured that
the site’s environmental status had been characterized and mitigated, as appropriate. This involved understanding
the contaminant distribution across the site and employing the appropriate measures, including risk management
measures (RMMs), as determined through the RA process, remediation, or a combination. From project startup, the
Infrastructure Ontario (IO)/CH2M HILL team was clear about how success would be defined for WDL. Success would
mean that development of the lands would not be delayed, that schedules would be met for all milestones, that
quality deliverables would expedite stakeholder endorsement, and that developers would be engaged with clear
understanding of constraints and risks. In addition to these goals, CH2M HILL strove to exceed client expectations –
and our reputation as a leader in performing RAs for brownfield development was further enhanced.

USE OR DISCLOSURE OF DATA CONTAINED ON THIS SHEET IS SUBJECT TO
THE RESTRICTION ON THE BACK OF THE TITLE PAGE OF THIS PROPOSAL.

Key Components of the Project – In April 2010, CH2M HILL initiated work, conducted field investigations, and
prepared multiple Phase One, Phase Two, and RA reports concurrently in order to meet the aggressive project
schedule. The reports complied with Ontario Regulation (O. Reg.) 153/04 under the Environmental Protection Act, as
amended by O. Reg. 511/09, so that Records of Site Condition (RSCs) were obtained on the properties prior to
development. At each step of characterization, risk assessment, risk management, and remediation, multiple
stakeholders were engaged, including the MOE.

In summary, four Phase One reports were produced, along with eight Phase Two reports, eight RA reports, and eight
Remedial Options Feasibility (ROFS) reports. Eleven Certificates of Property Use were also finalized, and 13 RSCs
were finalized and acknowledged by the MOE.

Risk Assessment – CH2M HILL assembled an RA team to complete 8 RAs for the 60 blocks in the WDL and obtain
MOE endorsement/acceptance on them. The accelerated schedule required technical and team leadership to secure
consensus from the MOE and other stakeholders throughout the process. An added challenge to successful delivery
included a recent change in the regulations governing RA activities in Ontario, as well as uncertainty surrounding the
implementation of the new regulations, given the timing of the RAs and RSC filing. Strategic communication with the
regulator and client was critical for the RAs to meet the new regulations, as appropriate.

To complete the RAs on time, approximately 25 RA staff (including human health and ecological risk assessors) were
used for the duration of the project, and communication systems were put in place to support the effective flow of
information both between RA team members and other teams contributing to the RA reports (that is, the Site
Assessment, Risk Management, and Publications Services teams). In addition, the RA team worked to automate and
streamline multiple RA processes, and to achieve consensus on the building blocks and technical approach to the
RAs with the client and regulator prior to report production. The
success of this strategy and team structure was evident in the
consistent ability of the team to produce high-quality RA reports,
each compiled within 2 weeks; typically, this process takes
about 3 months.

In all, 25 risk assessors were coordinated, 8 draft and 8 final
reports were produced, and more than 100,000 pieces of data
were considered.

Communications – During the project, CH2M HILL
communicated with numerous stakeholders involved with the
WDL site, many of whom did not have experience operating
within the environmental arena. To work with them successfully,
we educated them on the site’s regulatory process. This
education started with kick-off meetings with each stakeholder
and continued throughout the project, with regular meetings held
weekly and biweekly.

1.2 Project #2 – Hamilton Health Sciences
To support its plans for the potential acquisition of the site from the City of Hamilton, Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS)
retained CH2M HILL to conduct detailed Phase One and Phase Two ESAs, a designated substance and building
waste survey, an RA, and a remedial action plan (RAP) on the Wellington Development Block, located immediately
west of Hamilton General Hospital (HGH). CH2M HILL prepared all demolition and remediation specifications for this
project and managed the abatement, demolition, remediation, and restoration work. We also assisted in
redevelopment options for the various parcels of land that make up the larger property.

Phase One activities included a site history review, site inspections, interviews, an evaluation of information and
reporting. The Phase One ESA concluded that the Block has the potential for soil and groundwater contamination,
with 19 potential areas of concern noted, including metals, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), asbestos-containing
materials, gasoline, diesel, and underground storage tanks (USTs).

The goal of the Building Waste and Designated Substance Survey was to identify wastes and substances that would
present health and safety or environmental concerns and the associated management and abatement requirements
for these substances.

The Phase Two ESA characterized the Block’s geology and hydrogeology, to support a RAP and associated cost
estimate. It involved collecting chemical data associated with subsurface soil and groundwater, and assessing the
potential impacts to the subsurface based on MOE criteria. Tasks included reviewing and interpreting previous
environmental reports, conducting site reconnaissance, and developing a borehole drilling program and a soil and
groundwater analytical program to provide additional characterization of the Block.

A site-specific RA feasibility study was performed as part of the Phase Two ESA to provide a preliminary
determination as to whether contaminants at the Block could be managed in place.

The screening-level RA demonstrated that there was no need for supplemental RMMs beyond isolating contaminants
of concern (COCs), monitoring the groundwater, and maintaining barriers as required. It was determined that
applying an RA approach as part of the RAP was likely to provide a successful, cost-effective approach to managing
the soil and groundwater impacts identified at the site.

On behalf of HHS, CH2M HILL completed a MOE-approved comprehensive RA for the property to develop Property
Specific Soil and Groundwater Standards in accordance with O. Reg. 153/04.

The cost of the ESAs and RA were offset by a Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ Green Municipal Fund grant of
$175,000, along with a $20,000 grant provided through the City of Hamilton’s Environmental Remediation and Site
Enhancement (ERASE) program.

CH2M HILL developed tender documents and contract
specifications for the demolition of the former Steel Company of
Canada (SCOC) Facility located on the property; and oversaw
the demotion activities, which included management and
abatement of designated susbstances. The demolition was
completed on schedule and below the estimated budget.

CH2M HILL developed tender documents and contract
specifications to remediate soil at the former SCOC facility
located north of HGH and immediately east of the Wellington
Block. Prior to the start of the project, CH2M HILL negotiated
with the remediation contractor to reduce their bid price by
approximately $120,000. Our team oversaw the soil remediation
activities, which included filing an RSC for the property before
HGH expansion onto remediated lands, which the MOE
recognized on June 12, 2007. The remediated lands previously
served as a parking area for hospital staff. Following demolition of the former SCOC facility and MOE acceptance of
the Wellington Block RA, the parking lot was relocated to the Wellington Block.

The Canadian Urban Institute recognized the HHS Wellington Development Block Brownfield Redevelopment project
with a 2009 Brownie Award for its leadership, innovation, and environmental sustainability in Brownfields
redevelopment. HHS president and CEO Murray Martin called the award “an outstanding achievement for our team
at Hamilton Health Sciences and our contractor CH2M HILL. I am deeply proud not only of the final product, but the
fact that Hamilton Health Sciences is able to play a large role in the economic and environmental rehabilitation of this
area of Hamilton.”

1.3 Project #3 – Confidential Client, Amherstburg, Ontario
CH2M HILL is currently decommissioning and demolishing a large abandoned chemical manufacturing facility;
including the removal, disposal, and treatment, as required, of all designated substances, raw materials and product;
as well as hazardous and non-hazardous materials and waste contained within the existing process equipment,
tanks, reservoirs, and piping.

This facility was abandoned abruptly when the former owner
declared bankruptcy and was vacant for a number of years
before acquired by Amherstburg Land Holdings. Because it
had remained vacant for so long, the site was in disarray and
the buildings in advanced structural deterioration due to the
products and byproducts of the former manufacturing process.

CH2M HILL worked with the client to provide support through
the purchase of the site, then arranged and commissioned a
series of engineering assessments to gather sufficient
information to develop a bid package for the demolition. The
engineering studies included structural assessments of the
property to determine those buildings that unsafe for further
entry and concurrently arranged for the consolidation, labeling,
classification, and registration of the quantity of subject wastes
that remained on the property. In addition, a hazardous
building material assessment was completed to identify and
quantify the presence, location, and quantities of designated substances at the site. Following completion of the
engineering assessments, CH2M HILL developed bid specifications and arranged an invitation to bid to a select
group of experienced demolition firms that were capable of completing the full scope of work. CH2M HILL supported
the bidding process and helped our client select the best demolition contractor for the work. Subsequently, we
successfully negotiated an alternative bid with specific salvage management and asset recovery requirements. This
eventually resulted in a cash positive position for the client. In addition, we met with the regulators, to establish
appropriate monitoring during demolition.

We are currently providing onsite construction management services during demolition and are documenting
compliance with plans and applicable regulations.

1.4 Project #4 – Sydenham Pearl ESAs
The Sydenham Pearl Brownfield in downtown Brantford
consists of two properties, 17 and 22 Sydenham Street, with a
total area of 2.4 ha. The site’s long industrial history dates back
to the early 1900s and consists primarily of roofing material and
electrical fixture manufacturing. The onsite buildings were razed
in the early 2000s, and the brownfield is currently vacant and
undeveloped. The City of Brantford became the owner of the
site in 2006 following unsuccessful tax sales. Concurrent with
and following the tax sale, City staff conducted an extensive
public consultation program to identify neighbourhood priorities
for redevelopment of the site. The public response was focused
on future residential and parkland redevelopment.

In the spring of 2012, CH2M HILL was retained to provide
environmental consulting services focused on future
residential/parkland land uses. The work conducted by
CH2M HILL included Phase One and Two ESAs and the

development of a Remediation Strategy for the brownfield. Concurrent with completion of this work, meetings were
held with Brantford municipal personnel, a public consultation program was conducted to both obtain information from
the public and to communicate the results of work being completed, and the final reports were presented to the
Brantford City Council.

The Remedial Strategy includes the completion of a risk assessment, followed by various actions to either manage or
actively remediate contaminants. While the preferred remedial strategy will be reviewed and potentially revised upon
completion of the RA, currently contemplated remedial activities include limited ‘hot spot’ excavation, the construction
of treatment barriers, and in-situ contaminant treatment.

3. Experience and Qualifications of the Qualified Person

As shown in Exhibit 2-1, Kurt Hansen will be the Qualified Person (QP) for this project. He holds a B.E.S. and a M.E.S.
in Environmental Studies and is a licensed P.Geo. Kurt has more than 22 years’ experience in Phase One and Two
ESAs, site remediation programs, and field investigations involving soil and groundwater sampling and monitoring. Kurt
is a QPESA, and has been responsible for filing more RSCs post July 1, 2011 under the current requirements in O.Reg.
153/04 than any other QPESA within CH2M HILL. These RSCs were also formally acknowledged by MOE, submitted with
approved risk-based standards, and often involved remediation to address contamination. Kurt is well versed in current
reporting methods for Phase One and Two ESAs to support RSC filing and understands in detail the current RSC and
RA regulatory process. He was QPESA for the following representative projects*:

WDL; IO; Toronto, Ontario (see Section 1, Project #1 for a full project description). As QPESA for the WDL
project, Kurt managed and directed field investigations and prepared 4 Phase One reports and 6 Phase Two ESA
reports for 60 blocks of the 36-ha WDL under an accelerated schedule. The ESA team supervised by Kurt evaluated
data at approximately 290 areas of potential environmental concern (APECs) identified through the Phase One ESAs
and over 500 sample locations across the site (including more than 290 monitoring wells). Data generated was used
to build a conceptual site model (CSM) for each RSC Property to comply with post July 1, 2011 regulatory
requirements. As QPESA, Kurt led the ESA reporting and the associated site assessment summaries that were
included in the RA Reports, liaised with the MOE to integrate current requirements into the ESA reports and RSC
documents, was responsible for the completion of the 13 acknowledged RSCs to date, served as technical liaison
with the RA teams to realize efficiencies, and certified that the remediation strategy was
implemented. This effort clearly demonstrates his expertise in developing and
implementing site remediation work for the purposes of obtaining an RSC(s) with the
MOE. Two of the acknowledged RSCs were under O. Reg. 153/04 (before July 1, 2011)
and 11 were under O. Reg. 153/04 as amended by 511/ (after July 1/11).

One Wellington Development Block Brownfield Redevelopment; Hamilton Health Sciences; Hamilton, Ontario;
2004 to 2007. Kurt was Site Assessment Lead Phase One ESA and Senior Technical Advisor for this project which
involved the completion of Phase One and Phase Two ESAs, a designated substance and
building waste survey, risk assessment, and a remedial action plan on the Wellington
Development Block located immediately west of Hamilton General Hospital (HGH), in
support of plans for the potential acquisition of the site from the City of Hamilton.
CH2M HILL prepared all demolition and remediation specifications for this project and
managed the abatement, demolition, remediation and restoration work. CH2M HILL also assisted in redevelopment
options for the various parcels of land that makeup the larger property.

As senior ESA lead, Kurt served as site assessment lead for completion of Phase One activities, which included a site
history review, site inspections, interviews, an evaluation of information and reporting. The Phase One environmental
site assessment concluded that the Block has the potential for soil and groundwater contamination, with 19 potential
areas of concern noted, including metals, PCBs, asbestos-containing materials, gasoline, diesel, and USTs. Kurt
provided senior technical guidance and support to subsequent phases of the project as required.

Sydenham Pearl Brownfield; City of Brantford; Brantford, Ontario; 2012. Kurt was the
Qualified Person for the ESA and Preparation of the Remediation Strategy for this project,
which involves two parcels of land in downtown Brantford, both with industrial legacies
dating back to the early 1900s. CH2M HILL was retained to conduct Phase One and Two
ESAs, and to prepare a Remedial Action Strategy to revitalize the properties for potential
residential development. Work included consultation with city staff, a public meeting, and
presentations to City Council. Work was completed to the satisfaction of the City, the public, and City Council, and
resulted in the approval of funds for implementation of the remedial strategy.

Port Stanley ESA, RA, and RAP; PWGSC; Port Stanley,
Ontario (see Section 1 for a full project description).
Kurt supervised the initial 2006 Phase Two ESA and ROA
leading to the selection of RA in conjunction with
remediation to address “hot spot” contamination areas
(under federal requirements) as the recommended
remediation strategy. In 2008, under Kurt’s direction as
QPESA, a data gap evaluation and supplemental were
completed to address provincial regulatory requirements for
filing an RSC imposed as part of the transfer of lands to the
municipality. In 2010, Kurt supported the public consultation
program and represented the client at the information
sessions. As a result of regulatory changes that came into
force in mid-2011, Kurt is acting as QPESA for a Phase Two
to address the new regulatory requirements for completion of the RA and filing of RSCs on four distinct properties.

Redevelopment of King & Adelaide Property; Toronto
Community Housing Corporation; Toronto. Kurt was the
Project Manager and QPESA managing and supervising the
updated Phase One and Two ESAs, remedial strategy evaluation,
subsequent remediation, and RSC filing. The site was located at
288 King Street East and 501 Adelaide Street East in Toronto.
Based on the ESA findings, Kurt delineated the volume of
subsurface materials requiring remediation, evaluated remedial
options, and estimated remedial costs. Subsequently, Kurt led the
development of tender documents and specifications for
remediation and provided contract administration and remediation
oversight. Upon completion of remediation, CH2M HILL filed an
RSC under O. Reg. 153/04 documenting the change from industrial to residential land use. MOE acknowledged
the RSC.

5. Comprehensive Project Understanding, Approach, and Methodology

5.1 Introduction
The City retained CH2M HILL in March 2012 to provide environmental services for two properties known as the
Sydenham-Pearl Brownfield, located within Brantford at 17 and 22 Sydenham Street. The City required
environmental services to complete Phase One ESAs, Phase Two ESAs, and a review of remedial strategies to
support the redevelopment and/or potential sale of the site for residential/parkland land use. The recently completed
site assessment activities at the Site were initiated to assess the current subsurface environmental conditions and
develop technically-feasible and cost-competitive management strategies to manage impacted soil and groundwater.

The results of the Phase One and Phase Two ESAs recently completed by CH2M HILL between June and
September 2012 were documented in the following reports:

i. CH2M HILL Canada Limited (CH2M HILL). 2012. Phase One Environmental Site Assessment,
17 Sydenham Street, Brantford, Ontario. September 6, 2012, (CH2M HILL, 2012)

ii. CH2M HILL Canada Limited (CH2M HILL). 2012. Phase One Environmental Site Assessment,
22 Sydenham Street, Brantford, Ontario (Final Report). September 6, 2012, (CH2M HILL, 2012a)

iii. Phase Two Environmental Site Assessment, 17 Sydenham Street, Brantford. Prepared by CH2M HILL for
Brantford, dated September 26, 2102, Final Report, (CH2M HILL, 2012b)

iv. Phase Two Environmental Site Assessment, 22 Sydenham Street, Brantford. Prepared by CH2M HILL for
Brantford, dated September 26, 2102, Final Report, (CH2M HILL, 2012c)

Based on the results of the Phase Two ESAs, it was determined that the Phase Two Properties did not meet the
applicable Ministry of the Environment (MOE) Site Condition Standards for various contaminants of concern in both
soil and groundwater. Remediation of impacts above the Table 3 SCS would be required and/or the development of
property specific standards (PSS) under the completion of a risk assessment (RA) would be warranted, in order for a
Record of Site Condition (RSC) to be obtained for the Phase Two Properties.

Upon completion of the Phase Two ESAs, and as required as part of the previous scope of work, CH2M HILL
completed a Remedial Options Evaluation for each Phase Two property. The focus of the Remedial Options
Evaluations was to assess and evaluate various management strategies that could be employed to address the soil and
groundwater impacts identified during the completion of the recent Phase Two ESAs and that would facilitate the future
filing of a RSC for a future parkland/residential land use scenario. The reports also provided opinions regarding probable
cost to manage impacted soil and groundwater present at the properties. Based on the Phase Two ESA findings, this
evaluation considered general subsurface conditions, such as the degree of delineation of the contaminants of concern
(COCs), suspected volume of material requiring remediation, and potential pathway connections.

The results of the Remedial Options Evaluation recently completed by CH2M HILL for the subject properties were
documented in the following reports:

i. CH2M HILL Canada Limited (CH2M HILL). 2012. Remedial Options Feasibility Study, 17 Sydenham Street,
Brantford, Ontario, dated October 12, 2012, Final Report

ii. CH2M HILL Canada Limited (CH2M HILL). 2012. Remedial Options Feasibility Study, 22 Sydenham Street,
Brantford, Ontario, dated October 12, 2012, Final Report

As summarized in the above noted Remedial Options Evaluation reports, based on the review of environmental
management options and their comparison to the evaluation criteria, it was recommended that the City undertake the
steps to complete an RA for both Sites. It is anticipated that the RA will indicate that supplemental remediation efforts
(example, hot spot excavation) will likely be required to reduce reported maximum contaminant concentrations and
mitigate the off-Site migration of contaminated groundwater. In addition, for the 22 Sydenham Site it was further

recommended that the limited excavation approach be completed in conjunction with the UST decommissioning
activities to achieve effective remediation of the Site.

5.2 Project Objective
CH2M HILL understands the project objectives to be as follows:

i. Obtain an RSC for each of 17 and 22 Sydenham Street, to facilitate the potential future redevelopment of the
properties for residential or parkland uses

ii. Improve the aesthetic appeal of each property by removing remaining construction demolition debris, and
concrete slabs and footings

The principal work activities to be completed to meet these objectives are:

i. Completion of an RA for each of 17 and 22 Sydenham Street to establish PSSs and to identify Risk
Management Measures (RMMs) required for future development. Completion of the RA will require
consultation and review by both the public and MOE and is estimated to require 10 months to complete
(detailed in Sections 5.3 and 6.1, Schedule)

ii. Refinement of the Remedial Strategy documents to meet the requirements of the RAs (detailed in
Section 5.4)

iii. Prequalification of contractors for construction of the anticipated Remedial Strategy (detailed in Section 5.5)

iv. Preparation of tender documents, tendering, and assisting the City with the award of a contract(s) to satisfy
the Remedial Strategy (detailed in Section 5.6)

v. Contract administration and construction oversight, acting as the City’s Engineer (detailed in Section 5.7)

vi. Project Management (detailed in Section 5.9)

vii. Filing of RSC for each of 17 and 22 Sydenham Street (detailed in Section 5.8)

viii. Communication strategy, including public information sessions and presentation to Council (detailed in
Section 5.10)

The following sections outline our proposed approach and methodology for meeting the project objectives.

5.3 Risk Assessments
Based on our current understanding of the soil and groundwater concentrations and the recommendations outlined in
the Remedial Options Feasibility Studies, the RA approach is considered the most practical and cost effective means
to obtain an RSC for the subject sites. One RA will be completed for 17 and one RA for 22 Sydenham Street, in
support of obtaining two separate RSC. CH2M HILL has had recent communication with the MOE that suggests that
a joint RA may be permissible under Regulation 153/04 for an area that will have two RSCs, and we will pursue this
approach further to provide, if one RA is permitted, additional efficiencies to the City.

CH2M HILL proposes to complete an RA to support a risk-based RSC, using the requirements set out under
O. Reg. 153/04, as amended. The main tasks will be as follows:

i. Task 1.1: Integrate data from Phase Two ESAs

ii. Task 1.2: Complete and Submit the Pre-Submission Forms (PSF) to the MOE

iii. Task 1.3: Complete the RA (Human Health and Ecological)

iv. Task 1.4: MOE Review Process and Issuance of a Certificate of Property Use (if required)

5.3.1 Integrate data from Phase Two ESA

The Phase Two ESA reports recently completed will provide input into the RA for ready use of the dataset
documenting maximum site concentrations.

USE OR DISCLOSURE OF DATA CONTAINED ON THIS SHEET IS SUBJECT TO
THE RESTRICTION ON THE BACK OF THE TITLE PAGE OF THIS PROPOSAL.

5.3.2 Complete and Submit Pre-Submission Form to the MOE

A Pre Submission Form (PSF) is completed early in the RA process as part of the initial Problem Formulation phase
of the RA. The PSF must be submitted by the Qualified Person for Risk Assessments (QPRA) before the completed
RA is submitted. The purpose of the PSF is to provide the MOE with information regarding the site from the
Phase One and Two ESAs, and to outline the receptor scenarios that are being included in the RA, as identified in
the Conceptual Site Model (CSM). This provides the MOE with the opportunity to comment on the scope and
approach chosen for the RA.

The City also retained CH2M HILL to assess the groundwater quality hydraulically downgradient of the subject sites.
Volatile organic compound (VOC)-impacted groundwater has been identified on both Sites, specifically chlorinated
aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs), including trichloroethylene (TCE), 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA), and their degradation
products. Additional soil and groundwater samples were collected as part of this additional work in the fall of 2012 to
assess the soil and groundwater quality at six off-Site drilling locations. In addition, a further round of groundwater
samples was collected from both the six off-Site wells as well as 21 selected on-Site wells. The results of the
additional soil and groundwater sampling conducted at both offsite and onsite locations recently completed by
CH2M HILL are documented in the following report:

i. CH2M HILL Canada Limited (CH2M HILL). 2013. Results of Additional Soil and Groundwater Sampling
Sydenham-Pearl Brownfield 17 and 22 Sydenham Street, Brantford, Ontario. February 7, 2013.

Based on the findings from the directly above-noted report, and the findings from the previously completed Phase
Two ESAs, it is anticipated that some limited additional intrusive investigation work will be required to address
potential issues that may be flagged by the MOE during their review of the PSF. More specifically, we anticipate the
need to install a few soil vapour probes as well as some limited additional soil and groundwater sampling to address
concerns that may be raised by the MOE during the review of the PSF. CH2M HILL has included a budget allowance
for this additional work, as outlined in the cost summary section of this proposal. Prior to conducting any additional
intrusive work, a work plan will be prepared for review and approval by the City in advance documenting the
proposed additional sampling and associated methodology and rationale.

For scheduling purposes, following our submission of the PSF to the MOE for review, the MOE will prepare a letter of
response concerning the scope of the RA and confirming the review timeline for the RA. To date, the MOE has not
established a timeframe for their review of the PSF, although they have an unofficial target of 4 to 6 weeks. Should
there be a significant delay in receiving comments on the PSF, portions of the RA could proceed to the draft report
stage. However, it will be necessary to wait for the MOE’s comments on the RA approach (as intended by the PSF)
before finalizing the RA.

5.3.3 Completion of the Risk Assessment (Human Health and Ecological)

The RA will be completed following the Procedures for the Use of Risk Assessment Under Part XV.I of the
Environmental Protection Act (MOE, 2005) and the generic risk approach presented by the MOE in their Rationale for
the Development of Soil and Ground Water Standards for Use at Contaminated Sites in Ontario (revised version
April 15, 2011). The receptor scenarios will focus on potential scenarios associated with the potential for residential
development.

Additional necessary information regarding plausible receptor exposure scenarios and the characteristics of the Site
will be determined during the data review and in consultation with others, to identify potential future Site activities.

Under O. Reg. 53/04, it is not sufficient to estimate the magnitude of risk to human health and the environment. As part
of the RA process, numeric PSSs must be determined for each COC, based on the methodology used in the RA. In
accordance with the regulation guidance, this would be addressed and included in Section 6 of the RA report.

Risk management may include strategies to limit receptors’ contact with COCs at the site, if deemed necessary as a
result of the risk evaluation. The RA will recommend RMMs that may be necessary to be protective of human and
ecological receptors, both on- and off-site. This Risk Management Plan (RMP) must identify exposure pathways and
environmental media that the RMP intends to address. The proposed risk management strategies would be included

as Section 7 of the RA report. Conceptual design of RMMs, if needed, will be completed in the RA; detailed design
will need to be completed during site development engineering and planning, which is outside of our scope. Ensuring
that areas of the properties remain paved or covered would be considered risk management. Risk management
strategies may also include remediation to reduce contaminant exposure to the PSSs. The development of
remediation targets and risk management measures can be an iterative approach in which the balance between
remediation and Greenfield (concrete removal) restoration is considered and optimized to suit the City’s objectives. If
RMMs such as long term groundwater monitoring are required, the costs for such RMMs will not be included in the
scope of work, cost and scheduling considerations provided herein.

CH2M HILL will prepare a draft report in PDF and text in Microsoft Word format for review by the City. After we
receive the City’s comments, CH2M HILL will prepare the final report and provide the City with two signed hard
copies of the final report and one signed electronic copy in PDF format. Reports will be signed by the project QPRA.
Under O. Reg. 153/04 as amended, there are mandatory requirements for RA reports, and the report must include
sections as listed in Table 1 of Schedule C of O. Reg. 153/04. The MOE also mandates the number of copies for RA
submissions, and we will fulfill these requirements for distribution and submission of the RA. For the purpose of this
workplan and budget estimate, it has been assumed that one MOE review cycle will be required for
acknowledgement of the RA.

The City should be aware that it is often difficult to predict the time and level of effort that may be required to address
MOE PSF and RA review comments. Given the nature of the process, it has been our experience that, in many
instances, the MOE does not acknowledge and accept RAs following the first review, and they often have comments
and requested modifications that are required before acceptance. CH2M HILL has assumed an estimated budget to
address the MOE’s review comments. However, upon receipt of these comments, CH2M HILL will determine the level
of effort required to address them. If there are any potential budget implications as a result of the level of effort required,
CH2M HILL will prepare a scope change for review and approval by the City prior to proceeding with any additional
work. CH2M HILL has included some time during this process to generally liaise with the MOE and to provide updates
to the City. It is important that the City understand that, once comments are incorporated into the RA, the 16-week
timeline starts again (potential for up to 32 weeks of review or more if two RA submissions are required.

5.3.4 MOE Review Process and Issuance of a Certificate of Property Use (if required)

After the RA report is finalized, it will be submitted to the MOE for review. The current prescribed period of time (22
weeks for a Wider Area of Abatement [WAA] RA or 16 weeks if it is not designated WAA) for review begins when the
RA report is received by the MOE and the MOE confirms that the report meets the requirements of the regulation.
Once the MOE’s review is complete, the objective is to obtain formal MOE approval of the RA, which is a prerequisite
to filing the RSC.

The MOE may issue a Certificate of Property Use (CPU) for any property for which an RA has been completed; this
is issued at the discretion of the MOE Director, based on the results of the RA. Typically, if risk management is
required, a CPU will be issued to ensure the longevity of any RMMs. A CPU may limit use of the property, restrict
construction of certain types of buildings, or require certain actions (such as ongoing monitoring and reporting). The
municipality is notified when a CPU is issued; this may require registration of the property title and the provision of
financial assurance by the City or future developer/owner, if applicable. We expect that the local District Office of the
MOE will engage the City in the development of the draft CPU. We can review the CPU to verify content and
consistency with the RA. The draft CPU is then posted to the EBR for public review. As previously noted; if RMMs
such as long term groundwater monitoring are required in the CPU, the costs for such RMMs will not be included in
the scope of work, cost and scheduling considerations provided herein.

5.4 Review of Remedial Strategy
Once the Risk Assessments are completed and the Property Specific Standards (PSSs) have been established and
approved by the MOE, the final requirements for excavation and in-situ remediation or other remedial measures can
be finalized.

USE OR DISCLOSURE OF DATA CONTAINED ON THIS SHEET IS SUBJECT TO
THE RESTRICTION ON THE BACK OF THE TITLE PAGE OF THIS PROPOSAL.

Once the remediation targets are established, the conceptual design presented in the Remedial Options Feasibility
Study (ROFS) can be refined. The remedial excavation and in-situ remediation program will be tailored to the Site-
specific needs. The conceptual design in the ROFS can then be refined at this stage so that we can review the cost
estimate, prepare tender documents, support Brantford with the tender review and selection of a preferred contractor,
oversee execution of the remediation contract as the City’s representative (Owner agent), and collect confirmatory
samples and complete the associated reporting. Other initiatives related to greenfield restoration – such as concrete
and foundation removal – can be incorporated into the onsite remedial works program to optimize contractor
procurement and avoid conflicts between remedial and restoration objectives. We therefore recommend including
greenfield restoration activities in the remedial contractor’s scope of work.

5.5 Prequalification of Contractors
Subsequent to MOE review of the RAs and concurrent with their finalization for MOE approval, remediation
contactors will be prequalified for consideration for remediation activities as will be outlined in the tender
specifications to be prepared as summarized in Section 5.6. It is anticipated that:

i. The City will provide their ‘Request for Prequalification’ form (RFPQ) to CH2M HILL for use

ii. The RFPQ will functionally serve as a stand-alone information request as opposed to the first part of a 2-part
tender process

iii. CH2M HILL will revise the RFPQ form to identify the information to be supplied by prospective contractors

iv. The draft RFPQ will be supplied to the City for their review. It is anticipated that any review comments will be
received within one week. It is not anticipated that a meeting will be required with City technical staff at this
stage

v. The City will post the RFPQ on the City’s website and complete any advertising. CH2M HILL will provide
reasonable assistance to the City by identifying the name and contact particulars for any contractors it feels
may be interested or capable or responding. It is anticipated that information will be required from
prospective contractors three weeks after the RFPQ is posted

vi. A copy of the responses received will be provided to CH2M HILL by the City

vii. CH2M HILL will evaluate the responses and provide Brantford with a draft evaluation. One meeting will be
held in Brantford with City technical staff to review the draft evaluation

viii. CH2M HILL will finalize the evaluation including concerns raised at the meeting

ix. Brantford will manage contractor concerns/queries. CH2M HILL will not be the direct point of contact for the
contractors. CH2M HILL will provide reasonable assistance to the City in responding to question raised by
contractors.

5.6 Greenfield Restoration and Remediation Specification Preparation
This task will involve the development of technical specifications (tender documents) for the planned environmental
remediation work and concrete and foundation removal activities and associated site restoration of the subject facilities.

The general sequences of events that will need to be addressed in the technical specifications are as follows:

 Mobilization and Site Preparation
 Mobilize necessary resources to Site
 Contractor control of Site security and health and safety
 Establish Contractor Site facilities and utilities
 Establish a project equipment and material handling areas

 Foundation Removal Activities
 Blind or disconnect utilities
 Break all concrete or to a specified grade or depth

 Remediation Activities
 Segregate at-grade and below-grade demolition waste streams
 Excavate impacted soils (if applicable)
 Other on Site/in-situ remedial strategies as outlined in the finalized Remedial Strategy reports (Sec. 5.4)
 Collect stockpile samples for disposal characterization
 Transport waste streams and soils to provincially-approved receivers

 Site Restoration and Demobilization
 Remove all demolition related materials from the Site

 Fill all Excavations to Restore Site Drainage

The sequence of events would be summarized in the technical specification using the Master Specification
numbering format. The Master Specification formats used by CH2M HILL (bid documents, contract forms, and
contract conditions) are all formatted in accordance with the Engineer’s Joint Contract Documents Committee
(EJCDC®), while the Division 1 through 16 specifications follow the national guidelines of the Construction
Specifications Institute (CSI). An example table of contents prepared for a similar project is shown in Exhibit 5-1:

USE OR DISCLOSURE OF DATA CONTAINED ON THIS SHEET IS SUBJECT TO
THE RESTRICTION ON THE BACK OF THE TITLE PAGE OF THIS PROPOSAL.

5.6.1 General Conditions and Agreement

CH2M HILL has assumed that the City will provide the general conditions, financial terms, and agreement terms for
the bid document and has not allowed for this task. CH2M HILL is able to assist the City in the development of these
documents; however, the City will ultimately be legally bound by these documents and should therefore develop them
in conjunction with legal counsel.

5.6.2 Review and Final Approval

CH2M HILL would propose to allow for two review stages in the preparation of the technical specifications. This will
allow CH2M HILL to break down the review of the document into manageable component sizes. The result will be a
more efficient review process, mitigating the potential for repetition and redundant language. The two review steps
will generally conform to the following:

 60 Percent Review Stage. At the 60 percent review stage, CH2M HILL will provide the City with a completed
table of contents, the sections relevant to the proposed works, and a framework for the bid form and associated
documents. Our proposed schedule assumes that the City will return its review comments to CH2M HILL within
10 business days of receipt of the documents.

 90 Percent Review Stage. At the 90 percent review stage, CH2M HILL will provide the City with the final draft
technical specifications. Our schedule assumes that the City will return its review comments to CH2M HILL within
15 business days of receipt of the documents.

Additional review stages caused by changes in the decommissioning scope of work after notice to proceed have not
been included in the cost estimates for the technical specifications.

CH2M HILL will assist the City in bidding the remediation and concrete and foundation removal work by attending the
Site tour and preparing an evaluation matrix for the bids. Addendum services during the bid period will also be
provided.

CH2M HILL will review the supplier quotations and request clarifications where appropriate. CH2M HILL will attend a
joint evaluation meeting to review the results of the tender request with the City where we will present our concerns
and recommendations. CH2M HILL will provide bound copies of the final technical specifications.

5.7 Contract Administration, Remediation/Greenfield Restoration Oversight and Reporting
This task will involve overseeing and executing the remediation contract as the City’s Representative (Owner agent).
It will also include the collection of confirmatory samples and preparation of associated reporting documenting the
remedial activities completed that will be required to support the planned filing of RSCs for the subject sites.

The key tasks and activities that will be completed are briefly summarized as follows:

i. Check that a site health and safety plan is in place

ii. Check that the contractor has a construction quality control plan

iii. Have a representative on-Site on a full-time basis (assumed 10 hrs/day, 5 days per week, for an estimated
period of 7 months) for remediation activities

iv. Oversee contractor activities and approach to ensure that remediation costs are minimized to the extent
possible through prudent staging and segregation of impacted soils

v. Monitor Site environmental management (noise, dust, runoff, traffic, etc.) as provided by the contractor

vi. Specify mobilization of support equipment, such as trailer, electrical, telephone, office equipment, etc.

vii. Monitor the daily activities of the remediation contractor, including dispute resolution and change order
management, track quantities as applicable and appropriate

USE OR DISCLOSURE OF DATA CONTAINED ON THIS SHEET IS SUBJECT TO
THE RESTRICTION ON THE BACK OF THE TITLE PAGE OF THIS PROPOSAL.

viii. Prepare daily site documentation requirements, including daily progress reports, daily work orders, field logs,
photographs, daily chronology of events, and visitor logs

ix. Facilitate weekly progress meetings with HHS and the remediation contractor

x. Monitor that regulatory reporting requirements are satisfied

xi. Monitor adherence to the technical specifications by the contractors

xii. Monitor the project schedule

xiii. Review contractor progress payment certificates and provide recommendations for payment as appropriate

xiv. Provide recommendation to the Owner when substantial completion has been achieved

xv. Prepare a written report documenting the remediation activities at the subject sites for inclusion in a final
revised Phase Two ESA Report for each site as required under O. Reg 153/04

5.8 Record of Site Conditions
Records of Site Conditions will be prepared for both 17 and 22 Sydenham Properties. The RSC summarizes the
environmental condition of the subject properties as determined by the Qualified Person (QP) for the subject sites,
which is then filed in the Environmental Site Registry. The type of information on an RSC includes site description,
property ownership, property use, site assessment information, certification statements by the owner and the QP,
remedial action/mitigation, and any supporting documentation. This task will involve the completion of the required
RSC application form for each of the subject sites (RSC completed using Property Specific Standards). Some of the
administrative information needed for these forms will require input and authorization from others and can be
obtained concurrent to the tasks described above.

The items required for RSC filing include:

Provided by the City:

i. Lawyer’s letter consisting of legal description
ii. Property deed, transfer or other document
iii. Current plan of survey
iv. Owner Certification statement

Provided by the MOE and data entry by CH2M HILL:

i. Table of PSSs with maximum site concentrations

Completed by CH2M HILL

i. List and Figure showing Areas of Potential Concern for each property
ii. Table of Current and Past Uses of property
iii. Phase Two Conceptual Site Model

CH2M HILL will compile the applicable RSC forms for submittal to the MOE. The MOE upon reviewing the
submission will provide a written acknowledgment of the filing to the owner and QP. If there are any deficiencies in
the submission (in our experience, this is often administrative details such as the plan of survey or lawyer’s letter), the
MOE will require us to resubmit the RSC. We will attempt to mitigate this through advance communication with the
MOE to verify that the documentation meets their requirements and have budgeted accordingly.

5.9 Project Management
A project management task has been included to provide general support to the City related to the proposed site
remediation activities, and to assist in the development, planning, and implementation of future subsurface remediation
and foundation removal tasks and associated decommissioning activities. Project management will be required to

facilitate the implementation of the program and the management of the selected remediation contractor for completion
of the Site restoration and remediation work, and to assist the City in implementing the planned remediation activities
safely with an acceptable level of quality and in resolving problems and issues should they occur.

As shown in Section 5.10, CH2M HILL proposes to hold a project kickoff meeting, in Brantford, Ontario at City Hall
upon commencement of the project. The kickoff meeting will provide an opportunity for project team members to
discuss key project issues and procedures, obtain additional information, and discuss any clarifications or issues
related to the project schedule or changes to the scope of work. CH2M HILL has budgeted for our core project team
to attend the initial kickoff meeting. We have budgeted what, based on our experience on other projects, is an
appropriate level of effort for consultation and technical support to the City for issues related to environmental
requirements/remediation and general contract support.

5.10 Communications Strategy
It is important to develop a communication strategy to proactively involve stakeholders early and on a continued basis
in the project planning process, and to develop tailored activities and protocols to encourage and facilitate public
participation and communication in an open and transparent forum. Early and continued consultation and dialogue is
important for stakeholders – particularly for a complex project of long duration with significant community interest.
The City has initiated communication through neighbourhood meetings and presentations at the Brownfields
Community Advisory Committee. Leveraging the communication networks currently in place and established by the
City, our communication strategy is based on the following objectives:

i. To conduct open and inclusive activities that will engage a broad spectrum of the community in the project

ii. To provide sound science and technical information in an accessible and understandable format

iii. To focus effort on the Project rather than other agendas

iv. To provide diversity in opportunities to participate

v. To track and manage issues throughout the project to achieve community support and endorsement in the
project

We suggest five meetings with the City’s technical team as part of the Scope of Work: (1) Kick-off; (2) RA review;
(3) finalization of remedial options; (4) review of bids; and (5) remediation closure. Three points of public engagement
are planned as part of the Scope of Work and include Brownfields Community Advisory Committee presentations and
neighbourhood meetings (or public information session): (1) summarize the work previously completed and the scope
and anticipated outcomes of the current scope of work; (2) present the findings of the RA, finalization of remedial options
and timing and presentation of the remediation team; and (3) remediation closure. We propose to present the final
remedial results and RA to City Council after the completion of the project. We also understand that the City’s technical
team will be updating Council from time to time, and to that end, we will provide support with the information updates.

Details on the key presentations are provided in Exhibit 5-2. The project schedule in Appendix B provides proposed
dates for the five meetings with the City technical team, the three public meetings and the City Council meeting. It is
anticipated that these dates will be rescheduled to accommodate both project progress and City technical staff and
Council schedule constraints.

We anticipate that our role in attending the public engagement meetings will be to provide a display of project
information, make a brief presentation followed by a question and answer period, and prepare “take-away” materials
for easy reference following the session. As before, the City will arrange the location and will prepare a Notice of
Neighbourhood Meeting and direct mailing to the elected officials for that area, government and non-government
offices (such as the Grand River Conservation Authority), and special interest groups. Materials for the meetings will
be prepared in draft form for review and approval by the City prior to production. Once finalized, the material will be
provided to the City for posting to the City’s website.

Our team recognizes that attendance at public meetings is just the beginning in engaging members of the public and
public advisory groups. We are adept at preparing and delivering significant amounts of technical information in easily

understood terms, as is evident through the three project examples presented in Section 1. Our team anticipates that
public concerns with this project may be consistent in theme with the issues identified during other brownfield
activities in the City and elsewhere. Accordingly, we have identified the following potential community interests that
will require attention during the meetings: noise, sustainability, public health and safety, air quality, groundwater
protection, waste materials, access to information, traffic, post- and during-construction aesthetics, and short-
term/long-term use. CH2M HILL’s dedicated public communication strategy lead, Meggen Janes, will take the
initiative in anticipating and addressing the public’s concerns and interest areas. She will lead the development of the
presentation tools with input from the project team and attend the public meetings. Our team will use the intelligence
gathered through the Brownfields Community Advisory Committee meeting to fine-tune the critical components of the
overall remedial strategies presentation for the neighbourhood meeting. Similarly, the neighbourhood meeting will be
used to gather additional public insight on concerns regarding the remediation/risk management.

Exhibit 5-2 shows an outline and schedule of the proposed public information sessions.

USE OR DISCLOSURE OF DATA CONTAINED ON THIS SHEET IS SUBJECT TO
THE RESTRICTION ON THE BACK OF THE TITLE PAGE OF THIS PROPOSAL.

Expected
Outcome

The opportunity to engage directly with the community after the completion of the RA will encourage adaptive
management to facilitate continued efforts to deliver a successful project (as determined by both the project team
and the community).

Local residents and business owners will have an increased awareness of the projects and key activities to expect.
This will be the first contact between the project team and the community, as well as an opportunity to establish a
public relationship and develop profile for the project.

Value to the
Project

Our team will use the information generated through the efforts of Public Information Session #1 to help fine-tune
the critical components of the overall project. We will also have a clearer understanding of the current community
concerns and issues and will be able to begin to address them before the start of major construction activities.

Public Information Session #3 – Remediation Closure (March 12, 2015)

6. Project Schedule, Costs and Work Plan

6.1 Project Schedule
The anticipated project schedule, attached as Appendix B, shows the proposed timing of tasks and related
interdependencies. Task lengths were based on the anticipated level of effort that is shown in the Resource
Allocation Matrix (RAM), entitled “Hours Breakdown by Task,” which is also included in Appendix B.

The schedule of major project tasks outlined in Exhibit 6-1 is based on an anticipated project approval date of
May 15, 2012.

Exhibit 6-1 – Schedule of Major Project Tasks

RA, from PSFs to MOE approval of draft RAs June 2013 to April 2014

Review of remedial strategy April 2014 to May 2014

Contract administration and construction oversight May 2014 to March 2015

Remediation report, finalization of RA and filing of RSC March 2015 to May 2015

The following will be occurring concurrent with the major project tasks shown above:

i. The communication program – including meetings with City technical staff, public meetings and the meeting
with Council – will be ongoing from June 2013 to April 2015

ii. Project management activities will be ongoing from project initiation in June 2013 through to anticipated
project completion in May 2015

The project schedule includes a project contingency period of approximately 3 months from late May to early August
2015. The project schedule as shown is based on CH2M HILL’s professional experience. The City will be kept
informed of significant changes in the project schedule as they occur. For the filing of the RSC we have assumed that
the RSC can be filed immediately upon completion of the remediation and that there is no long term groundwater
monitoring to be complete per O. Regulation 153/04 prior to filing the RSC.

The project schedule does not include any post-remediation environmental monitoring requirements, as the nature
and scope of these requirements cannot be known until the completion of the RA and remediation activities.
Environmental monitoring requirements that may be reasonably anticipated would include soil vapour assessment
activities, additional groundwater monitoring activities, and maintenance of any barrier or other in-situ treatment
systems.

6.2 Project Costs and Work Plan
The Resource Allocation Matrix provided in Appendix B provides a summary of the anticipate level of effort by
individual project team members for the major project work elements. The RAM indicates project costs of $966,937
plus applicable taxes. Considerations in the calculation of these costs included the following:

i. Hourly rates for staff are similar to those provided to the City for previous work associated with the Site.

ii. Costs will be incurred on a time and materials basis to the limits shown on the RAM.

iii. The RA budget includes an allowance for additional intrusive work. The need for and potential scope of this
work cannot be known until completion of RA activities.

iv. The budget for finalization of the Remediation Strategy includes an allowance for some additional intrusive
work. The need for and potential scope of this work cannot be known until the Remediation Strategy is
complete.

USE OR DISCLOSURE OF DATA CONTAINED ON THIS SHEET IS SUBJECT TO
THE RESTRICTION ON THE BACK OF THE TITLE PAGE OF THIS PROPOSAL.

v. Costs associated with construction oversight are based on a construction period for remediation activities of
7 months. As CH2M HILL’s true costs for construction oversight cannot be known at this time, these costs
are based on the allowances included in the Remediation Strategy reports previously submitted to the City
(CH2M HILL, 2012b) and (CH2M HILL, 2012c).

vi. It is assumed that costs can be transferred between work activities shown on the RAM based on project
needs as they occur.

vii. The time period for final review and approval of the RA and RSC by the MOE is beyond the control of
CH2M HILL, and we cannot predict with a great degree of certainty the exact date when the RSC will be
accepted.

viii. It is CH2M HILL’s understanding that others will assume responsibility for certain documentation required by
the MOE related to the deed/land transfer; therefore, CH2M HILL is not responsible for any delays resulting
from this task which may impact final RSC acceptance date.

ix. Actual time to complete the work may vary depending on a number of factors, only some of which are directly
controlled by CH2M HILL.

We will work in a collaborative manner with the City to drive additional cost efficiencies and implementation
improvements at the Sydenham-Pearl Brownfield. We will continually search for ways to improve our performance
and achieve a cost-effective remediation and risk assessment approach.

We do this by:

i. Providing regular updates on regulatory changes and trends in the market place so we can make informed
decisions and advise the City on the requirements for the sites. For instance, as previously noted,
development of one RA instead of two may provide some cost savings.

ii. Remedial process optimization through decision science tools and processes to optimize remedial plans.

iii. Reductions in monitoring to identify actions that will result in the same objective being achieved but through
less expensive means.

iv. Collaborating with the City on the decision making to integrate their land re-use strategy with the risk
assessment with a goal to come up with the highest economic and environmental value of the land.

v. Using a procurement system and contract development basis to apply sound business practices to
procurement activities and help the City achieve best value in acquired goods and services.

vi. Preparing scopes of work for each task to pre-define project specific requirements, overall productivity and
performance and to clearly define strategic objectives. This is then leveraged for capture of improvement
opportunities and value added in cost savings, cost avoidance or new asset value.

vii. Applying our volume discounts from our regular subcontractors to the City. Occasionally, opportunities also
arise with our remedial contractors where savings can be found due to our ability to either manage the
schedule of the project or leverage the overall work we are doing to pass on savings to the Client. On one
project, we were able to renegotiate hazardous waste disposal rates with a waste receiver in the middle of a
project that resulted in a savings of approximately $1M.

viii. Leveraging our familiarity with the project to jump start the next phase of risk assessment and remediation.

Site Assessment Lead Phase I ESA and Senior Technical Advisor; Wellington Development Block Brownfield
Redevelopment; Hamilton Health Sciences; Hamilton, Ontario; 2004 – 2007.

Project activities involved the completion of Phase I and Phase II ESAs, a designated substance and building waste
survey, risk assessment, and a remedial action plan on the Wellington Development Block located immediately west
of Hamilton General Hospital (HGH), in support of plans for the potential acquisition of the site from the City of
Hamilton. CH2M HILL prepared all demolition and remediation specifications for this project and managed the
abatement, demolition, remediation and restoration work. CH2M HILL also assisted in redevelopment options for the
various parcels of land that makeup the larger property.

As senior ESA lead, served as site assessment lead for completion of Phase I activities which included a site history
review, site inspections, interviews, an evaluation of information and reporting. The Phase I environmental site
assessment concluded that the Block has the potential for soil and groundwater contamination, with 19 potential
areas of concern noted, including metals, PCBs, asbestos‐containing materials, gasoline, diesel, and USTs.
Subsequently, provided senior technical guidance and support to subsequent phases of the project as required.

Project Manager; Updated ESA, Sediment Sampling, and Remedial Action Plan and QPESA for subsequent ESA
Update and RA; Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC); Port Stanley Harbour, Ontario. Issues
include contaminated harbour sediments, soil, and groundwater (petroleum hydrocarbons [PHCs], heavy metals,
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons [PAHs], ammonia, and nitrate). Site strategy involves RA in conjunction with
remedial action (including phytoremediation, in situ bioremediation, and excavate/ dispose) to address “hot spot”
contamination areas; remediation criteria established during RA will be used to set remediation criteria and guide
remediation efforts. The Harbour is a multi‐tenant site with industrial/ commercial activities including fuel/hazardous
material handling/storage and vehicle maintenance. Complex environmental issues exist at the site: leaking fuel
storage tanks/pipelines and the improper storage/ handling and spills of hazardous materials; and multiple
contaminant types (PHC, heavy metals, PAHs) are present. The federally owned and operated site is considered
“environmentally sensitive” due to its proximity to Lake Erie; a risk‐based (as opposed to remediation‐based)
approach is the desired long‐term management strategy for the site. In 2008, as QPESA, worked with the technical
team to develop a data gap evaluation and supplemental investigation plan which were completed to address
provincial regulatory requirements for filing an RSC imposed as part of the transfer of lands to the municipality. In
2010, supported the public consultation program and represented the client at the information sessions. As a result
of regulatory changes coming into force in mid‐2011, and continue serve as QPESA for a Phase Two to address the
new regulatory requirements for completion of the RA and filing of RSCs on four distinct properties.

Project Manager; Environmental Due Diligence Review; Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC); King
& Adelaide Sts, Toronto, Ontario; 2007. Conducted an environmental due diligence review and updated Phase I
and II ESAat 288 King Street East and 501 Adelaide Street East in Toronto, Ontario. Activities at the King and
Adelaide Streets Site included an environmental due diligence review and updated Phase I and II ESA. Based on
the ESAs’ findings, estimated the volume of subsurface materials that could require future management and
provided various cost‐effective management approaches, alongside opinions of probable implementation costs.
Subsequently, supervised and documented environmental remediation activities to address the ESAs’ findings.
Once remedial activities were complete, filed an RSC under the MOE’s O. Reg. 153/04, documenting the actions
required to facilitate the site’s redevelopment, given its more sensitive land use.

CH2M HILL has completed a number of successful ESAs and remediation projects for TCHC, including their
developments at 288 King Street East and 501 Adelaide Street East in Toronto, Ontario and the Don Mount Court
Redevelopment Project, also located in Toronto.Project Manager; Phase I ESA of Cherry Beach; Waterfront
Toronto; Toronto, Ontario. The purpose of the Phase I ESA was to review the site history and identify if potential
issues of environmental concern exist at the subject site that may warrant further investigation, and to assist in
