TOPIC: FIRE STATION 55 – ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO
EXECUTE A FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH BSK ASSOCIATES, INC. FOR SERVICES REQUIRED FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITTING, SAMPLING, SOILS TESTING, AND REMOVAL
AND SOILS REMEDIATION WORK RELATED TO THE UNFORESEEN
UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK DISCOVERED AT FIRE STATION 55, IN THE
AMOUNT OF $63,805, INCREASING THE TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT TO
$209,549, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXPAND THE SCOPE

RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the City Manager to execute
a first amendment to the professional services agreement with BSK Associates, Inc. for services
required for environmental permitting, sampling, soils testing, and removal and soils remediation
work related to the unforeseen underground storage tank discovered at Fire Station 55, in the
amount of $63,805, increasing the total contract amount to $209,549, and authorizing the City
Manager to expand the scope of work if extensive contamination is discovered.
BACKGROUND:
On November 5, 2013, Measure E passed, extending the existing one-half percent local sales tax
and increasing the rate by one-quarter percent to provide funding for city services. The City has
since used those resources to plan, design, construct and manage two new stand-alone fire
stations, 52 and 57, and a new Public Safety Center (PSC) that incorporates Fire Station 51.
These three projects are collectively referred to as “Phase 1” of the City’s Essential Facilities
Program. They have all been successfully completed, occupied and operational. The Essential
Facilities program also includes the design, construction, and management of Fire Stations 54
and 55 referred to as “Phase 2”.
On October 18, 2021, pursuant to Resolution No. 14988, the City of San Rafael authorized the
City Manager to execute a construction agreement for the Essential Facilities Phase 2 Fire
Station 54 and 55 Project to Wickman Development and Construction (“Wickman”).
On December 20, 2021, pursuant to Resolution No. 15014, the City of San Rafael authorized the
City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with BSK Associates (“BSK”) for
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
Materials Testing and Special Inspection and Geotechnical Testing and Inspection Services fees
concerning Fire Station 54 and 55 Project, in an amount not to exceed $145,744.
ANALYSIS:
On January 10, 2022, the City of San Rafael issued notice to proceed with construction of the
Essential Facilities Phase 2 project, Fire Station 54 & 55 Project to Wickman Development and
Construction (“Wickman”). Wickman mobilized to the two project sites and demolition activities
started immediately.
In late March 2022, Wickman was directing ongoing excavation activities for an underground
utilities trench at Fire Station 55, located at 955 Point San Pedro Road. Wickman discovered the
existence of an abandoned underground storage tank (UST). The metal UST is forty-two inches
in diameter and approximately six feet long. The contractor suspended the excavation to avoid
potential soils contamination and notified the City of San Rafael construction team, in compliance
with Environmental Protection Agency protocols.
Upon notification of the discovery of the UST, the City is required to follow specific notification,
sampling, permitting, and removal procedures required for the discovery of potentially hazardous
materials at a construction site. These procedures include but are not limited to notification to
the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), and Marin County Certified Unified
Program Agencies (CUPA), collection and analysis of water and soils samples in and around the
tank, preparation of a work and health & safety plan for the removal of the tank, removal
supervision, coordination with regulating agencies, and preparation of site assessment report
and final closure report. Staff recommends engaging an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-
qualified underground storage tank removal company to perform the extraction of the UST and
associated soils remediation work.
City staff has solicited proposals from two qualified firms: Advantage Environmental and BSK
Associates. Advantage Environmental indicated that they do not have the capacity to undertake
this project at this time due to staffing constraints. BSK has submitted a proposal to perform
these services for the amount of $63,805 (Attachment 3). Staff recommends authorizing the City
Manager to execute a first amendment to the professional services agreement with BSK
Associates to include the additional services required for environmental permitting, sampling,
soils testing, and the work required to extract and remediate the soils related to the unforeseen
UST discovered at Fire Station 55, in the form attached as Attachment 2 to this report, subject to
final approval as to form by the City Attorney.
The proposed cost of $63,805 assumes that there is minimal soil contamination around and
below the tank. Preliminary investigation shows that the tank was drained and filled with inert
material in the past. However, if it is discovered that there is significant contamination, staff
further requests that the City Manager be authorized to expand the scope of work in order to
remove and dispose of the material. Any additional disposal work will be performed on a time
and material basis, and staff will monitor the removal and document, through off-haul manifests,
the extent of material removed.
The work associated with the removal of the UST is critical to maintaining the Fire Station 55
Project on schedule and avoiding delays.
FISCAL IMPACT: These funds will be appropriated from the portion of Measure E revenues
allocated to public safety facilities construction and improvements.

SUBJECT: Contract Change Order No. 1 – Revision 1
Perform Limited Environmental Sampling and Testing and UST Removal
City of San Rafael Essential Facilities Project - Fire Station 55
955 Point San Pedro Road
San Rafael, California
Dear Ms. Guillen:
BSK Associates (BSK) is pleased to provide this contract change order no. 1 to provide limited
environmental sampling and testing services of in-situ soil and the underground storage tank (UST)
removal at the Fire Station 55 in San Rafael, California.
BACKGROUND
In 2022, the City of San Rafael (City) discovered the existence of an UST in the area of Fire Station 55 in
San Rafael. The size of the UST is not known but is estimated at 42 inches diameter and 6 feet long. The
City has requested a cost estimate from BSK to perform environmental soil sampling and testing and the
UST removal and site closure.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
In order to evaluate a suitable approach for the eventual UST removal and site closure, BSK proposes to
collect a total of two (2) representative soil samples from approximate depths of one foot below the
bottom of the UST.
BSK will prepare the required documentation and a work plan. The work plan will include the following
activities to assess the fuel line release to the satisfaction of the Marin County Environmental Health
(MCEH):
• Permitting and notification through the MCEH and Bay Area Air Quality District (BAAQD);
EXHIBIT A
Contract Change Order No. 1 BSK Project C22-038-61L
Fire Station 55 April 26, 2022
San Rafael, California Page 2
• Preparation of work plan and Health & Safety Plan for the MCEH;
• Mobilization, including utility clearance;
• Retain Patriot Environmental (Patriot) to remove and recycle the UST (Patriot Environmental
scope of work and quote is attached this change order)
• Observe the removal of the existing UST and note the physical condition of the UST and piping.
• Collection and transmittal of soil and water samples for analytical laboratory testing;
• Analytical laboratory analyses of the collected soil samples;
• Review of collected field data and analytical laboratory results;
• Preparation of a Conceptual Site Model (CSM); and
• Preparation of a Site Assessment Report to the MCEH.
We will submit each of the two (2) collected soil and 1 water samples to a California ELAP-certified
laboratory to be tested as follows:
• Volatile Organic Compounds (EPA Method 8260B)
• Gasoline Range Organics (EPA Method 8015B/LUFT)
• Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons, Diesel and Motor Oil (EPA Method 8015M/LUFT) with Silica Gel
Cleanup
• Tetraethyl Lead (organic)
The standard turnaround time for the chemical analyses is approximately 10 to 14 business days from
the date the samples are delivered to the laboratory. If necessary, an accelerated laboratory turnaround
time may be available at an additional charge. The test results will be presented in an analytical report
and spreadsheet, which will include limited interpretation of the results by BSK.
SCHEDULE
BSK is ready to proceed with our services proposed herein immediately following our receipt of formal
authorization to proceed. We anticipate tank removal will be performed within one to four weeks of
receipt of our notice to proceed, depending on Patriot’s availability, from the MCEH and BAAQD,
subsurface sampling can be completed in one day, and analytical testing will be completed within
approximately two weeks following the completion of the sampling. We assume that our investigation
will be performed during weekdays between the hours of 7:00 am and 7:00 pm. If weekend or holiday
work is necessary, we will need to revise our estimate.

PROPOSAL ASSUMPTIONS
Our scope of services and fee estimate were prepared based on the following assumptions:
1) The City will provide to BSK any applicable background information on the Site area.
2) The City, as the landowner, will be considered the “Generator” of all wastes, not BSK. BSK, its
owners, employees, shareholders, officers, directors, subcontractors, etc. will not be
considered the “Generator” of any wastes, expressed or implied.
3) Our services can be performed during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 7:00
a.m. to 7:00 p.m).
4) The collection, management and testing of soil and water samples other than those described
herein is not included.
5) Traffic control services are not required.
AUTHORIZATION
If you are in agreement with the proposed scope of services and estimated fee presented herein, please
send us an amendment to our existing agreement for the project for our review and signature.
BSK offers a range of environmental and engineering services to suit the varying needs of our clients.
Although risk can never be eliminated, more detailed and extensive engineering yields more
information, which may help the client understand and manage the degree of risk. Since such detailed
services involve greater expense, our clients participate in determining the level of service, which
provides adequate information for their purposes at an acceptable level of risk. Acceptance of this
proposal will indicate that you have reviewed the scope of services and have determined that it does
not need or want more services than are being proposed at this time. Any exceptions should be noted
and may result in a change in fees.
LIMITATIONS
This proposal was developed after discussion with you and is a preliminary understanding of your
desires. If a portion of this proposal does not meet your needs, or if those needs have changed, BSK will
consider appropriate modifications, subject to the standards of care to which we adhere as
professionals. Modifications such as changes in scope, methodology, scheduling, and contract terms and
conditions may result in changes to the risks assumed by the City of San Rafael as well as adjustments to
our fees.
BSK’s services will be performed in a manner consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily
exercised by other professionals practicing in the same locale and under similar circumstances at the
Contract Change Order No. 1 BSK Project C22-038-61L
Fire Station 55 April 26, 2022

time the work is performed. No warranty, either express or implied, is included. The findings of the field
studies may have a potential for negative impact on the value or suitability of the import fill transported
to the Import Site for some purposes. BSK cannot assume liability for any such negative impact(s).
CLOSURE
We appreciate the opportunity to continue to assist the City of San Rafael on this project. Please,
contact us at (925) 315-3151 if you have any questions or require additional information.

SUBJECT: Contract Change Order No. 1 – Revision 1
Perform Limited Environmental Sampling and Testing and UST Removal
City of San Rafael Essential Facilities Project - Fire Station 55
955 Point San Pedro Road
San Rafael, California
Dear Ms. Guillen:
BSK Associates (BSK) is pleased to provide this contract change order no. 1 to provide limited
environmental sampling and testing services of in-situ soil and the underground storage tank (UST)
removal at the Fire Station 55 in San Rafael, California.
BACKGROUND
In 2022, the City of San Rafael (City) discovered the existence of an UST in the area of Fire Station 55 in
San Rafael. The size of the UST is not known but is estimated at 42 inches diameter and 6 feet long. The
City has requested a cost estimate from BSK to perform environmental soil sampling and testing and the
UST removal and site closure.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
In order to evaluate a suitable approach for the eventual UST removal and site closure, BSK proposes to
collect a total of two (2) representative soil samples from approximate depths of one foot below the
bottom of the UST.
BSK will prepare the required documentation and a work plan. The work plan will include the following
activities to assess the fuel line release to the satisfaction of the Marin County Environmental Health
(MCEH):
• Permitting and notification through the MCEH and Bay Area Air Quality District (BAAQD);
B-4<
ASSOCIATES
Contract Change Order No. 1 BSK Project C22-038-61L
Fire Station 55 April 26, 2022
San Rafael, California Page 2
• Preparation of work plan and Health & Safety Plan for the MCEH;
• Mobilization, including utility clearance;
• Retain Patriot Environmental (Patriot) to remove and recycle the UST (Patriot Environmental
scope of work and quote is attached this change order)
• Observe the removal of the existing UST and note the physical condition of the UST and piping.
• Collection and transmittal of soil and water samples for analytical laboratory testing;
• Analytical laboratory analyses of the collected soil samples;
• Review of collected field data and analytical laboratory results;
• Preparation of a Conceptual Site Model (CSM); and
• Preparation of a Site Assessment Report to the MCEH.
We will submit each of the two (2) collected soil and 1 water samples to a California ELAP-certified
laboratory to be tested as follows:
• Volatile Organic Compounds (EPA Method 8260B)
• Gasoline Range Organics (EPA Method 8015B/LUFT)
• Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons, Diesel and Motor Oil (EPA Method 8015M/LUFT) with Silica Gel
Cleanup
• Tetraethyl Lead (organic)
The standard turnaround time for the chemical analyses is approximately 10 to 14 business days from
the date the samples are delivered to the laboratory. If necessary, an accelerated laboratory turnaround
time may be available at an additional charge. The test results will be presented in an analytical report
and spreadsheet, which will include limited interpretation of the results by BSK.
SCHEDULE
BSK is ready to proceed with our services proposed herein immediately following our receipt of formal
authorization to proceed. We anticipate tank removal will be performed within one to four weeks of
receipt of our notice to proceed, depending on Patriot’s availability, from the MCEH and BAAQD,
subsurface sampling can be completed in one day, and analytical testing will be completed within
approximately two weeks following the completion of the sampling. We assume that our investigation
will be performed during weekdays between the hours of 7:00 am and 7:00 pm. If weekend or holiday
work is necessary, we will need to revise our estimate.

PROPOSAL ASSUMPTIONS
Our scope of services and fee estimate were prepared based on the following assumptions:
1) The City will provide to BSK any applicable background information on the Site area.
2) The City, as the landowner, will be considered the “Generator” of all wastes, not BSK. BSK, its
owners, employees, shareholders, officers, directors, subcontractors, etc. will not be
considered the “Generator” of any wastes, expressed or implied.
3) Our services can be performed during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 7:00
a.m. to 7:00 p.m).
4) The collection, management and testing of soil and water samples other than those described
herein is not included.
5) Traffic control services are not required.
AUTHORIZATION
If you are in agreement with the proposed scope of services and estimated fee presented herein, please
send us an amendment to our existing agreement for the project for our review and signature.
BSK offers a range of environmental and engineering services to suit the varying needs of our clients.
Although risk can never be eliminated, more detailed and extensive engineering yields more
information, which may help the client understand and manage the degree of risk. Since such detailed
services involve greater expense, our clients participate in determining the level of service, which
provides adequate information for their purposes at an acceptable level of risk. Acceptance of this
proposal will indicate that you have reviewed the scope of services and have determined that it does
not need or want more services than are being proposed at this time. Any exceptions should be noted
and may result in a change in fees.
LIMITATIONS
This proposal was developed after discussion with you and is a preliminary understanding of your
desires. If a portion of this proposal does not meet your needs, or if those needs have changed, BSK will
consider appropriate modifications, subject to the standards of care to which we adhere as
professionals. Modifications such as changes in scope, methodology, scheduling, and contract terms and
conditions may result in changes to the risks assumed by the City of San Rafael as well as adjustments to
our fees.
BSK’s services will be performed in a manner consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily
exercised by other professionals practicing in the same locale and under similar circumstances at the
• '
