Mr. Randy Schumacher Community Development Assistant City of Columbia Heights 590 40th Avenue Northeast Columbia Heights, Minnesota 55421 Re: Supplemental Investigation and Environmental Cleanup Columbia Heights Industrial Park - Phase I ProSource Project No. 529-00 Dear Randy: On behalf of ProSource Technologies, kic. (ProSource), I'd like to again congratulate the City of Columbia Heights (City) on receiving Contamination Cleanup Grant Awards from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) and Metropolitan Council. We realize this is a significant milestone to proceeding with redevelopment efforts within the City. Furthermore, we greatly appreciate the opportunity to ~vork tkrough the investigative and grant preparation portions of this process and look forward to moving ahead with environmental cleanup and redevelopment activities. As per your request, ProSource has prepared this letter to summarize the scope of work and cost estimate to conduct supplemental investigation and environmental cleanup for.Phase I of the Columbia Heights Industrial Park. Scope of Work As you are aware, this information has already been included in the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) approved Phase II Investigation Report, Focused Feasibility Study (FFS) and Response Action Plan (RAP), as well as the DEED and Met Council Grant Applications. Therefore, I would like to briefly surmnarize the work and costs associated with the forthcoming work. In short, services to be provided by ProSource include: Continuing liaison with MPCA staff and/or other applicable regulatory agencies. Preparing specifications and/or bid documents for Contractor services. Scheduling and coordination with Contractors. Coordination and oversight of supplemental investigation. This includes the shallow investigation and water table investigation (please note this task encompasses Phases I, II and III). Conducting pre-demolition surveys. Coordination and oversight for implementation of soil and ground water Response Actions. Reporting. Preparing Contamination Cleanup Grant Applications for Phase II of the project. Project Management. £nviponmBntal· Bight Of ~VaJ/· £ngineePing Scope of Work and Cost Estimate Columbia Heights Industrial Park - Phase I Page 2 Project Costs The estimated cost to complete the supplemental investigation and environmental cleanup associated with Phase I of this project is $1,961,947. A breakdown of project costs is included on the attached table, which was taken from the Phase II Report/FFS/RAP. As you are well aware, funding sources for this project include DEED, Met Council and the City. We will be happy to assist you in completing Applications for Reimbursement through DEED and Met Council. As a significant portion of the project costs are associated with demolition and excavation activities, we are assuming that the City will be responsible for soliciting the bid package, as well as executing a separate Agreement with the selected contractor. However, ProSource will prepare applicable portions of specifications and/or bid documents, provide sch.eduling, coordination and oversight with the contractor and review contractor invoices to verify quantities and costs prior to submittal to the City. As with the Phase II Investigation, ProSource will be responsible for contractors to provide drilling and analytical services. Closing We realize the City would like to begin redevelopment activities as soon as possible and understand that this work cannot proceed until the environmental issues have been addressed. We are prepared to initiate work immediately following your notice to proceed. To authorize the work, please execute both copies of the attached Agreement in the space provided below and return one copy for our records. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to call me in our office at (763) 786-1445 or on my cell phone at (763) 458-8174. Sincerely, ProSource Teclmologies, Inc. Ja III, P.G.
