(FPM) is pleased to submit these proposals to provide landfill-related monitoring and reporting services for the closed Town of Southold landfill at Cutchogue. Enclosed please find our proposals. Included in each proposal is information concerning FPM's qualifications and experience in performing groundwater and landfill gas monitoring for various projects under the oversight of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). i Information illustrating the depth of experience of our staff is also provided. Each proposal is a stand-alone proposal, as we understand that the Town may elect to award this work to two separate firms. However, FPM recognizes that if both contracts are awarded to the I same firm the quarterly field services can be provided by the same field crew, resulting in a cost savings. Accordingly, we offer an $1,800 annual reduction in the landfill gas monitoring cost ($450 per quarter) in the event that the Town elects to award both contracts to FPM. This alternate pricing is applicable for all quarters during which both groundwater and landfill gas monitoring are performed-by FPM. FPM is a full-service environmental and engineering consulting firm established for over 35 years. FPM performs groundwater and landfill gas sampling, analysis, and reporting, as described in the Requests for Proposals, for a variety of federal, state, and local agencies as well as for industrial and commercial clients. As a result of this experience, we are very familiar with the necessary j procedures, protocols, and other related services required for this contract. We have worked for many years for the Towns of East Hampton, Islip, and Smithtown monitoring groundwater and/or landfill gasses and/or providing reporting services for their landfills. We have also provided landfill- related services to the Towns of Riverhead and Huntington, as well as private clients in Suffolk County. Therefore, we are familiar with both the required landfill-related services and working within a Town framework. a RONKONKOMA,NY - ROME,NY - SAN ANTONIO,TX - SPOKANE,WA - LANCASTER,CA - MIDWEST CITY,OK - MT. HOLLY, NJ - LAS VEGAS, NV Mr. James Bunchuck -2- April 13, 2011 FPM has worked extensively in the Long Island area and is familiar with federal, state, and local regulatory agency requirements, including those of the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), NYSDEC, Suffolk County Department of Health Services (SCDHS), New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), and others.

(FPM) for the Town of Southold in response to an April 4, 2011 Request for Proposal for Landfill Groundwater Sampling, Analysis and Reporting. i � This proposal includes a detailed description of the scope of work to be performed, completed Contractor Cost Proposals, descriptions of previous -_ experience including several representative projects similar in nature to the proposed scope of work, project staffing including resumes of project j personnel, and a copy of our current Certificate of Insurance. Additional information concerning this proposal or FPM's qualifications and experience can be provided upon request. it 1 I ' FPM It i_ i I r I� SECTION 2 SCOPE OF WORK This section contains a description of the proposed scope of work to be - performed by FPM Group, Ltd. to provide the required groundwater sampling, analysis, and reporting services to the Town of Southold for the capped municipal solid waste landfill in Cutchogue, New York. if �J FPM I i I SECTION 2 r PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK I 1 The following proposed scope of work was developed based on the Town of Southold's April 4, 2011 Request for Proposals (RFP) and our previous experience with projects of this type. 2.1 Work Objective FPM understands that the Town of Southold (Town) is required by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) to provide quarterly sampling, analysis and reporting for 12 groundwater monitoring wells situated around the perimeter of the Town's capped municipal solid waste landfill in Cutchogue, New York. This work is to be performed pursuant to the specifications in the Southold Landfill Groundwater Quality Assurance/Quality i Control Plan (QA/QC Plan), a copy of which was provided. J FPM understands that the Town seeks to engage a contractor to perform the quarterly monitoring three times in 2011, four times in 2012, and once in 2013, with quarterly reports to Lf be furnished to the Town not more than 45 days after sampling has occurred and not later than --' the 20th day of the third month of each quarter. At the Town's option, the Town may extend this contract through the first quarter of 2015 at the quoted costs, although the monitoring frequency may be reduced, if approved by the NYSDEC. 2.2 Scope of Work l Field Activities - FPM shall conduct groundwater sampling at the 12 specified wells (see the location map at the ! j end of this section) on a quarterly basis or semiannual basis, as directed by the Town. In the event of quarterly sampling, during one quarter of each year the wells shall be sampled for - NYSDEC Part 360 baseline parameters; sampling shall be performed for NYSDEC Part 360 Jroutine parameters for the remaining three quarters of each year. In the event of semiannual sampling, baseline sampling and routine sampling shall each be performed during one event each year. Based on the information previously provided, FPM understands that six of the wells j to be sampled are specified as shallow wells, with depths of approximately 55 to 60 feet and that six of the wells to be sampled are specified as deep wells, with depths of approximately 120 to 140 feet. This proposal is based on these well numbers and depths. FPM understands that the Town's landfill property is generally open from 7 AM to 5 PM except for holidays. It is planned to conduct onsite fieldwork during these hours. If necessaty, the two wells located offsite (MW-1S and MWA D) may be accessed for sampling after hours. FPM J intends to conduct each monitoring event in the beginning of the first month of each quarter to allow for sufficient time for sample analysis and reporting within the required schedule (see below). The Town will be verbally notified approximately one week prior to the planned monitoring event to confirm that monitoring will not conflict with other planned activities at the landfill property. FPM expects to be provided with access to the site wells from 7 AM to 5 PM on the agreed sampling day. Each well will be purged and sampled in accordance with the provided QA/QC Plan. Purging will be performed using a stainless steel submersible pump decontaminated in accordance with 2-1 FPM I 'f IJ the procedures in the QA/QC Plan. Dedicated disposable tubing shall be used for each well. Prior to purging a decontaminated water level meter shall be used to measure the static water level in each well. During purging, field measurements of turbidity, temperature, conductivity, and pH shall be obtained and recorded on the Sample Information Record forms, completed copies of which will be submitted with each quarterly report. Each well shall be purged of a minimum of three well volumes until each of the monitored parameters indicates that a stable, low-turbidity (less than 50 NTUs) condition has been obtained. Sampling shall be performed using a dedicated disposable bailer for each well. QA/QC samples shall be collected in accordance with the QA/QC Plan. These samples shall include a matrix spike/matrix spike duplicate (MS/MSD) for each round of sampling and a trip blank sample for each baseline sampling event. These samples shall be prepared and labeled as described in the QA/QC Plan and shall be managed in a similar manner as the primary groundwater samples. The samples shall be placed into laboratory-supplied sample bottles with appropriate preservatives. Each bottle will be labeled using the required unique sample identifiers and the labeled bottles will be placed in a cooler with ice to depress the sample temperature. A chain of j custody form shall be completed to document the sequence of sample possession. At the close -1 of each sampling day, the filled coolers shall be sealed and transmitted with the chain of custody forms to the selected analytical laboratory via an overnight courier. FPM shall also maintain a copy of the completed chain of custody, and a copy shall also be included with each quarterly report. A field log book dedicated to this project shall be maintained by the field services coordinator f and shall remain on file at FPM's office. For each day of sampling pertinent information concerning field activities shall be recorded, including sampling locations and procedures, field personnel, equipment calibration, and any unusual events. FPM understands that purge water and decontamination water may be disposed onsite in the vicinity of their points of origin. Therefore, this proposal makes no provision for onsite management or offsite disposal of any wastes. It is assumed that used personal protective equipment (gloves, etc.), sample tubing, and disposable bailers may be disposed at the Town's onsite transfer station. If necessary, these items can be disposed offsite by FPM at no r-` additional cost. Sample Analysis and Data Validation Sample analysis will be performed by a subcontracted laboratory: Test America of Shelton, CT. Test America is a New York State Department of Health ELAP-certified analytical laboratory with CLP certification. FPM has used Test America for groundwater sample analysis for landfill monitoring purposes for over 15 years and has found their analytical services to be of the highest quality. Additional supporting information concerning Test America's capabilities is provided at the end of this section. Test America will analyze the samples for 6 NYCRR Part 360 baseline or routine parameters, as specified on the accompanying chain of custody documents. Laboratory QA/QC samples shall be prepared and analyzed in accordance with the ASP and the QA/QC Plan. FPM shall be provided with the complete laboratory report from which summary tables shall be prepared. A copy of the sample data summary portion of the lab report shall be included with each quarterly JJ 2-2 FPM I " i I monitoring report and the raw data and supporting documentation shall be kept on file at FPM's office. A Data Usability Summary Report (DUSR) shall be prepared for each sampling event, as specified in the QA/QC Plan. Reporting FPM shall prepare two bound copies of each quarterly or semiannual groundwater monitoring report. These reports shall be provided to the Town and the NYSDEC Region 1 office no more than 45 days following each sampling event and not later than the 20th day of the third month of the applicable quarter. An electronic copy of the full final report shall also be provided to the Town as a pdf file. Each report shall include the following information, at a minimum: • Transmittal cover letter; • A description of the well purging and sampling procedures, including collection of QA/QC -� samples; • A description/verification of the QA/QC procedures used by the laboratory; • Copies of all Sample Information Record Forms, Daily Field Activity Reports, and Chains i of Custody. This information will be included in appendices; I_J • A site plan showing the locations of all wells sampled; • A DUSR, including a discussion of any changes to the summary data tables; • Summary tables showing each well, the sampling date, and the resulting data for each fi analyte. All values exceeding the applicable NYSDEC Class GA Ambient Water Quality -- Standards shall be visually noted. Historic sampling data will also be included on these tables, as provided to FPM by the Town; and ' i i —' • A summary discussion of a comparison of the monitoring data with previous sample data and with the data from the Southold Landfill Remedial Investigation. 2.3 General Contract Requirements FPM understands that this proposal will apply for an anticipated two years of groundwater monitoring services with a Town option to extend the contract through the first quarter of 2015. We also understand that the Town intends to contract for two years of quarterly events (one baseline and three routine events per year) starting with the second quarter of 2011. However, the Town intends to seek a reduction in the required sampling frequency from the NYSDEC. Therefore, at the option, of the Town, monitoring services may be reduced to two semiannual events per year. Accordingly, FPM has provided pricing for both quarterly and semiannual monitoring. 2-3 FPM J1 A copy of our current Certificate of Insurance is provided in Section 6. FPM has found that our insurance coverage generally meets and exceeds the needs of most of our clients. Specifically, FPM maintains the following applicable insurance: • Worker's Compensation, in accordance with New York State requirements; • General Liability and associated Excess Liability in the amount of $5,000,000 per occurrence and $5,000,000 aggregate; • Automobile Liability and associated Excess Liability in the amount of $5,000,000 per occurrence and $5,000,000 aggregate; • Disability, in accordance with statutory requirements; and Professional Liability in the amounts of$2,000,000 per claim and $2,000,000 aggregate. �a If selected for this project, FPM will name the Town of Southold as an additional insured on the appropriate policies. !J 1i 2-4 FPM r � pnw +�l�^='{ >~.•�..-�/�'�'� r�..,�,�`..,., ..r� }yam,+� . ..`•,,, � �:' sem.
