Re: Scope of Work/Cost Estimate
Supplemental Ground Water Investigation
Columbia Heights Industrial Park
Columbia Heights, Minnesota
Dear Randy:
ProSource Technologies, Inc. (ProSource) is pleased to present this Scope of Work and Cost
Estimate to conduct a supplemental ground water investigation for the Columbia Heights
Industrial Park (Site) located in Columbia Heights, Minnesota. As you are aware, we have
recently completed implementing the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) approved
Response Action. Plan (RAP) to remediate contaminated soils within Phase IIl of the Project. As
per our Agreement with staff from the MPCA Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup (VIC)
Program, the City is required to conduct this investigation now that the final phase of soil
remediatian has been completed.
Based on the results of the Phase II Investigation, as well as ongoing quarterly ground water
monitoring for the Site, the regional water table (approximately 90-100 feet below ground
surface} is impacted with diesel range organics (DRO) and chlorinated solvents, which appear to
be related to former operations across the Industrial Park. The purpose of this investigation is to
define the vertical and horizontal extent of ground water conta~n~n~tion, evaluate geologic and
hydrogeologic conditions, identify potential receptors and determine the need for additional
corrective action, if necessary. ~ Scope of Work and Cost Estimate are provided in the
following sections.
Scope of Work
Well Instatlatie~ra
Prier to the start of work, ProSource will meet with staff from the MPCA VIC Program to
review the existing data., discuss our approach and determine well locations. Please note that
some of these wells may be located outside the Industrial Park. As necessary, ProSource will
prepare Access Agreements and coordinate with neighboring landowners.
A fatal of pro total of five monitoring wells. will have to be installed as part of this investigation.
Drilling services will be provided by the Trout Well Company of Waite Park, Minnesota. All
work will be done in accordance with Minnesota Department of Health (~VE[?H) Well
Construction Code (1l~Iinnesota Rules 4725). A geologist from ProSource will provide oversight
during. all soil boring and well installation activities. Please note that we are assuming that all
wells will be carnpleted above grade and that all soiUrock cuttings, as we11 as drilling fluids can
be disposed of on Phase III of the Site.

once the wells have been installed, PraSaurce personnel will develop each new monitoring we11 to
remove fines (i.e. silt and clay} that will have resulted from the drilling process. Following we11
development, we will conduct two rounds of baseline sampling to evaluate ground water quality.
Analytical services will be provided by Pace Analytical Services of Green Bay, Wisconsin. ProSource
personnel will also survey each we11 to provide vertical and horizontal control.
Repat-ting
Fallowing completion of field work, we will prepare are report far submittal to the MPCA. In short, the
report. will include a discussion of field methods, geologic/hydrageolagic conditions and analytical
results. In addition,. a recommendation will be made as to the need far ground water remediatian. Should
remediatian be necessary, the report will also discuss the proposed corrective action to be taken.
Applicable tables, figures, and/or supporting data (i.e. baring logs, well diagrams, field farms, etc.} will
be included.
Cast Estimate
Based an the above Scope of Work, our Gast Estimate to complete this work is $84,748. Of this, $45,568
will saver the casts of drilling services. The remaining. $39,180 includes all lobar, equipment and
expenses related to coordination v~rith subcontractors, oversight, we11 development, baseline sampling,
surveying, reporting, project rr~anagement and liaison with the 1VIl'GA. We will provide you with a
separate scope of work and cost estimate, should remecliatian be required.
Please Hate that we are also installing three additional wells tQ replace those which had to be abandoned to
accommodate redevelopment (i.e. infrastructure, fawn home construction}. As we've previously
discussed, costs associated. with the replacement of these three wells will be the responsibility of Scleafer
Itiehardsan and/or Ryland HamEes. However, the casts associated with subsequent ground water
sarpling, repartirzg, abandonment, etc. are the responsibility of the City.
Cla~sitt
