Proposal
Construction Health and Safety and Geotechnical Oversight
Second Street Widening and
Lindaro Street Underground Utility District Project
San Rafael, California
Dear Mr. Preston:
Harding Lawson Associates (HLA) is pleased to present this proposal to the City of San Rafael (City)
for conducting construction health and safety and geotechnical oversight during the Second Street
Widening and Lindaro Street Underground Utility District Project in San Rafael, California (Site).
This proposal is based on the City's request for implementation of the Construction Health and
Safety (HSP) and Soils Management Plans (SMP) prepared by HLA for the project which were
included in bid specification packages prepared by CSW/Stuber-Stroeh and Harris Associates. It is
HLA's understanding that a construction contractor and construction manager (CM) will be selected
by May 1999, and that work is scheduled to begin in June 1999. Although, many activities can be
accurately scoped at this time, others require input from the CM and the contractor. For those
activities, HLA has estimated the scope and budget and will revise accordingly after input from the
CM and the contractor.
DESCRIPTION OF SITE/PROJECT
The proposed street widening comprises an area approximately 16 -feet -wide by 1,400 -feet -long on
the south side of Second Street and extends from the west end of the Pacific Gas and Electric
Company (PG&E) substation to the US 101 on-ramp. As part of this project, storm drain and sanitary
sewer lines and other utilities within the roadway alignment will be abandoned and/or relocated.
Portions of the roadway alignment are owned by Fair, Isaac and Company, Inc. (Fair, Isaac), the
City, and the Golden Gate Bridge District (GGBD).
The City plans to install electric, telephone, and cable -television lines within the District in
underground trenches that will be excavated along Lindaro Street, Lincoln Avenue, Second Street,
Third Street, and Ritter Street.
Contaminated soil and groundwater are known to be present along the portions of the Second Street
roadway alignment and along portions of the planned utility trenches along Second Street,
Lindaro Street, Ritter Street, and Lincoln Avenue. Contaminated soil is present along the Fair, Isaac

property, which was previously owned and operated by PG&E. In addition, contaminated soil is
also present associated with the former PG&E manufactured gas plant located between Brooks and
Lindaro streets and Second and Third streets. The City property on the southeast corner of Second
Street and Lincoln Avenue was previously occupied by a Shell Oil Company service station and
contaminated soil and groundwater have been identified. In addition, contaminated soil and
groundwater are also associated with the Unocal Station on the northwest corner of Second Street
and Lincoln Avenue. Lastly, contaminated soil is present along that portion of Second Street that is
owned by the GGBD. A more detailed description of the type and location of the contamination
associated with these areas was presented in Soil Management Plan, Second Street Widening and
Lindaro Street Underground Utility District Project, San Rafael, California, dated February 22, 1999,
along with the plan to handle the contaminated soil during construction and the prescribed health
and safety procedures (HLA, 1999a).
SCOPE OF WORK
HLA proposes to perform the scope of work described in Tasks 1 through 3 below. Task 1 comprises
pre -construction and all oversight activities including air monitoring and soil sampling; Task 2
outlines the reporting activities; and Task 3 describes management activities including weekly
construction meetings.
Task 1- Construction Health and Safety and Geotechnical Oversight
HLA will provide construction health and safety and geotechnical oversight, which will include
implementing the Construction HSP and SMP. The following describes the services HLA will
provide.
Task 1.1- Health and Safety Oversight and Implementation
HLA will document that all construction activities are conducted in accordance with the approved
HSP (HLA, 1999b). An HLA Site Safety Officer (SSO) will be present at the Site during all
construction activities that involve the movement of potentially contaminated soil and provide on-
call service at all other times during construction. HLA will conduct daily health and safety
meetings, oversee implementation of the HSP, conduct continuous meteorological monitoring, and
provided personal and perimeter air monitoring. These activities will include the following:
• Mobilizing to the Site, setting up Site control zones, and installing one meteorological and four
air monitoring stations. Because background sampling was conducted during the Fair, Isaac
construction project in summer 1998, it is HLA's opinion that data collected during that
sampling program is adequate for this project and no further background sampling is required.
• Maintaining Site security
• Conducting daily health and safety tailgate meetings
• Implementing proper personal protective equipment levels
April 26, 1999

Mr. Andy Preston
City of San Rafael
Page 3
Harding Lawson Associates
Conducting real-time field monitoring and collecting samples for laboratory analysis to monitor
potential exposures to the public and onsite workers in accordance with the HSP. In accordance
with the HSP, ambient and personal air monitoring samples will be collected five days a week
during the first week of work and three days a week thereafter. Personal air samples will be
collected from two personnel during each sampling interval for PNAs and BTEX. At this time, it
is anticipated two ambient monitoring stations will be required to monitor airborne particles for
PNAs at the perimeter of the Site. However, if construction staging/sequencing are set such that
two ambient samples do not provide adequate coverage, more samples may be required. Total
anticipated samples are as follows:
- 6 PNA ambient air samples on expedited turnaround time during the first week of work and
66 PNA ambient samples on a normal turnaround time thereafter
- 5 PNA and BTEX personal air samples on expedited turnaround time during the first week of
work and 40 PNA and BTEX personal air samples on a normal turnaround time thereafter.
Project costs are based on HLA providing oversight services over an approximately three-month
period between June 1 and September 1, 1999, and the contractor working one 10 -hour work shift
per day between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m.
Task 1.2 - Geotechnical Oversight
HLA will provide geotechnical oversight services during construction activities at the Site, which
will include any geotechnical testing required to meet City specifications outlined in the April 1999
Bid Specification package. An HLA engineer will observe and document the following activities:
• Utility trench overexcavation and backfill
• Subgrade and subbase preparation and fill placement
• Installation of light and signal pole foundations.
The HLA engineer will provide the results of their observations and any testing performed to the
City Engineer overseeing the project.
Task 1.3 - Soil Management Plan Implementation
HLA will oversee the management of soil generated during site grading and excavation operations
and installation of utilities at the Site, specifically contaminated soil encountered during these
activities. Work will be conducted in accordance with the procedures described in HLA, 1999a.
The following tasks to be covered under the management plan are as follows:
• Mobilization - Mobilization of the contractor's equipment and establishment of the
decontamination areas, the exclusion zones, and the contamination reduction zones as described
in the HSP
• Clearing and Grubbing - Removal of the concrete sidewalk and asphalt as well as stripping of
any surface vegetation. Any monitoring wells that are in the road widening right-of-way will
require marking and protection during construction

• Site Excavation and Grading — The scarifying, moisture conditioning, and compacting of all
areas to receive materials as recommended in HLA's geotechnical report. All excavated soil will
be screened using protocol described in the HSP
• Import of Clean Soil — The hauling, placing, and compaction of clean import fill and backfill
materials where necessary to meet final grade. Fill material will be checked by the project
geotechnical engineer to verify it meets the criteria listed in HLA's geotechnical report.
• Installation of Subsurface Underground Utilities — Installation of trenches to place new utilities
or abandon/move existing ones in accordance with OSHA excavation and trench safety
regulations. It is assumed that a licensed HAZMAT contractor will install the necessary utilities
or the proper barrier will be placed as described in the SMP. HLA will monitor compliance to
these requirements.
• Stockpiling and Testing of Contaminated Soil — Stockpiling and testing of contaminated soil
will also be performed as outlined in Section 3.0 of the SMP. Laboratory costs for stockpile
sampling are based on soil amounts specified in the bid specification package prepared by
CSW/Stuber-Stroeh and Harris Associates and the analyte list presented in the SMP, and are as
follows:
— 12 soil samples for PNAs, TPH, and lead on an expedited turnaround time
— 10 soil samples for TPH and BTEX on an expedited turnaround time
— 8 soil samples for TCLP/STLC lead on an expedited turnaround time
— 8 soil samples for RCI on an expedited turnaround time.
HLA will also direct the contractor on appropriate measures to be taken to suppress dust emission
and odors during construction activities.
Task 2 — Reporting Activities
HLA will prepare a short report, which describes the site activities and health and safety monitoring
performed during the road widening and utility improvement activities. This report will also
present the results of all air monitoring conducted and soil and groundwater samples collected
during characterization for offsite disposal. A separate geotechnical summary report documenting
observations and testing will also be prepared.
Task 3 — Project Management and Meetings
Management activities will be performed to track and control progress of the construction activities
and include invoice review and oversight activities related to work efforts performed by
subcontractors. Meeting costs are based on one construction meeting per week attended by the
SSO.
