D Project Approach and Understanding Communication is the Key ■ Upon selection, Terracon will meet with the City and other stakeholders to discuss the City's upcoming projects and initiatives and establish the necessary processes and expectations throughout the contract. After that, we will meet with you regularly to identify project requirements, discuss the project schedule, and develop a system of controls and communication. Developing such a plan assures that all parties are aware of the lines of communication and highlights the overall engineering, inspection and testing expectations for the project. The City will be apprised of the schedule and provided routine financial updates throughout the life of the projects. Scheduling is the key component in project implementation. It drives the entire project from start to successful completion. Frequent and open communication with the City's personnel, especially during the development of a scope and strategy for project implementation, is essential to developing a schedule that will satisfy the project objectives. The Terracon Team is solution oriented. We will also conduct a closeout review with your staff for every task order completed, to ascertain that the task's objectives have been satisfactorily achieved. We also know from our experience that emergency (no prior notice) services will sometimes be needed. We are confident that the Terracon Team's flexibility will allow us to meet such emergencies as our demonstrated experience shows that we have. Approach for Environmental Engineering Services Terracon's staff has supported clients with site selections and has conducted and reviewed thousands of Phase I environmental site assessments (ESAs) for properties throughout Florida's urban environments. As the City identifies and selects properties, or groups of properties, for redevelopment, it is necessary to understand the conditions that exist and what the potential complications and financial obligations will be to cure the situation. Terracon ensures that every project is directed, overseen, and reviewed by an environmental professional. Terracon's Phase I HAS are completed in accordance with ASTM E1527-13 and 40 CFR Part 312, entitled, "Innocent Landowners, Standards for Conducting All Appropriate Inquiries (AAI). These reports are designed to provide "an environmental site assessment of a parcel of commercial real estate with respect to the range of contaminants within the scope of Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C. §9601) and petroleum products". As such, the Phase I ESA is "intended to permit a user to satisfy one of the requirements to qualify for one of the three types of limitations on CERCLA liability (hereinafter, the "landowner liability protections," or "LLPs")": The assessment of a property that has been affected by regulated substances is one of the fundamental functions of an environmental consultant. When soil and groundwater beneath a facility is found to be affected, the extent and degree of the impact must be assessed to understand the potential affects to the property. Terracon will incorporate our knowledge of the site's history, lithology, and hydrogeology with preliminary data to develop an assessment plan that focuses on understanding the estimated horizontal and vertical extent of the affected area and the any migration paths the impacted groundwater may follow. llerMMn City of Sunny Isles Beach — RFQ No. 20-07-01 1 Continuing Professional Consulting Services (CCNA) 8
