ecial Projects
The Disposition and Development Agreement ("DDA") for the Westside Infill Transit Oriented
Development ("WI-TOD") requires the CDC to remediate environmental hazards from the project site,
including the National City Public Works yard and former Illes Family Trust site (2200 and 2020 Hoover
Avenue). Working with the project's State Regulator, the California Department of Toxic Substances
Control, it has been determined that the best method of preparing the site for the affordable housing and
park expansion planned is through the preparation and implementation of a Property Mitigation Plan
("PMP"). Since 2007, E2 Managetech has been assisting the CDC to understand environmental
conditions within the Westside Specific Plan area and the WI-TOD site and, in conformance with the
DDA, has prepared a draft PMP, currently under discussion with the selected developers. The

Subject: Proposal — Professional Environmental
Oversight Services for the Clean-up and
Closure of the Transit Oriented Development Area
2100 Hoover Avenue
Nationals City, California
Dear Ms. Beard:
E2 ManageTech, Inc. (E2) is submitting this proposal and cost estimate to provide professional
program management and technical support services to the Community Development
Commission (CDC) of National City for environmental clean-up and closure of the Transit
Oriented Development (TOD) area.
In support of the TOD project, E2 recently prepared a Property Mitigation Plan that will be
submitted to the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal -EPA) Department of Toxic
Substances Control (DTSC) for its review and approval. The PMP provides a roadmap for
completing environmental investigations and remediating services for portions of the TOD area
where known chemicals of concern have previously been released to the subsurface (i.c.,
Mitigation Areas). Results of the PMP indicate that eight Mitigation Areas were identified and
steps or procedures for addressing each of the Mitigation Areas are presented in the PMP.
E2 proposes to complete the following scope of work to support the CDC with implementing the
PMP:

Scope of Work:
Task 1 — Finalize the PMP
The CDC agreed to allow the Developer to review and provide comments to the PMP. A
working draft copy of the PMP was submitted to the Developer on June 22, 2011. The
Developer has since hired an environmental consultant (Environ) to review the PMP and other
supporting documentation. For this task, E2 will coordinate, clarify, and update the PMP per
comments received from the Developer and its environmental consultant. Prior to updating the
PMP, all revisions will be coordinated with the CDC and its legal counsel to insure that the
suggested revisions are appropriate and consistent with the contract documentation between the
CDC and Developer.
Task 2 - Developer and Regulatory Agency Coordination
• Coordinate and participate in periodic meetings and conference calls with the CDC,
regulatory agencies, Developer, legal counsel (i.e., Opper & Varco), or other project
representatives. This effort includes preparing for the meetings, preparing meeting notes,
and implementing possible action items.
• Maintain and update project/development schedule.
• Prepare written responses to Developer/Agency requests for information (RFI).
• Provide 3-party technical review of documentation that would be prepared by Developer
environmental consultant, geotechnical engineers, civil engineers, etc.
• Prepare and submit technical white papers as requested.
Task 3 — Mitigation Oversight Services
• Provide program management support necessary to implement the PMP. This includes
procuring necessary subcontractors (e.g., geophysical survey, drillers, mobile and fixed
analytical laboratories, and/or waste disposal companies), scheduling field activities,
maintaining project budgets, and submitting project updates and progress reports to the
CDC.
• Of these seven Mitigation Areas identified in the PMP, five require further investigation
to delineate the extent of contamination as assess appropriate removal action alternatives.
E2 will coordinate the environmental investigation activities associated with each of the
mitigation areas. These coordination efforts will include preparing work plan
Ms. Pat Beard
Community Development Commission of National City

Page 3 of 5
memoranda that will be submitted to DTSC for its review and approval. The work plan
memoranda will supplement the information provided in the PMP by providing more
detail associated with the field activities that will be implemented to investigate each of
the mitigation areas.
Task 4 — UST and Clarifier Removal
• Coordinate and maintain management of the existing UST in accordance with the
Department of Environmental Health (DEH) and National City Fire Department
requirements. Until the tank is removed, these agencies require monthly monitoring and
reporting of the UST and dispensing system. It is currently estimated that the UST will
be removed during the month of October 2011.
• Prepare a bid specification for procuring and assist the CDC with procuring an UST
removal contractor. This bid specification will also include provisions to removal the oil
water separator located in the north end of the Illes property. During the UST removal
activities, E2 will oversee the UST/oil water separator removal contractor's work to
ensure that the work is completed in accordance with the bid specifications and
applicable UST removal laws and regulations.
• E2 will also coordinate the collection of confirmation soil samples that will be collected
to assess whether the UST and/or clarifier leaked hazardous substances to the subsurface.
• After the results of the confirmation samples are received, E2 will prepare a
UST/Clarifier Closure report that will be submitted to DEH for its review and approval.
Task 5 — Hazardous Building Materials Survey and Building Demolition
• Conduct hazardous building material surveys of on -site structures that would be
demolished and/or renovated under the TOD project.
• Prepare hazardous building material mitigation specifications
• Prepare demolition bid specifications.
• Assist the CDC with procurement efforts needed to retain a demolition and hazardous
building materials contractor.
• Provide field oversight support during hazardous building materials mitigation activities
and site demolition. Depending on the findings of the hazardous building material
survey, these services may include air monitoring and inspection of the mitigation
contractor's work.
Task 6 — Characterization and Off -Site Disposal of Stockpiled Soil
Ms. Pat Beard
Community Development Commission of National City
July 18, 2011

• E2 will identify an appropriate off -site landfill or approved area to transport and dispose
of the stockpiled soil located adjacent to Paradise Creek Park.
• After an appropriate disposal facility is identified and approved, E2 will coordinate and
procure excavation, transportation, and disposal services for the stockpiled soil that is
located near Paradise Creek.
• During the stockpile loading and disposal activities, E2 will provide personnel to monitor
the progress and field activities of the loading and transporting contractor to ensure that
volumes are counted and work is completed in accordance with the bid specifications.
• After the soil is removed, E2 will collect confirmation soil samples to confirm that the
stockpile soil has not impacted the "native" soils.
SCHEDULE AND COST
Based on the project schedule that was provided by the Developer in an email message dated
June 1, 2011, it is estimated that the environmental support services would be provided through
approximately December 2012 when DTSC approves the completion of the PMP and issues its
No Further Action letter for the TOD area. Based on this time period it is estimated that our
services would be needed for an approximate period of eighteen (18) months. Since the level of
effort associated with each of the activities discussed above cannot be clearly defined at this
time, E2 estimates that its team will provide approximately 40 hours per month of consulting
services.
For this project, E2 will continue to provide National City our reduced fee schedule for which
the Project Principal, Daryl Hernandez, will be billed at a rate $160 per hour and a Project
Manager, who is well versed in engineering, geology, and remediation, will be billed at $120 per
hour. Therefore, we are proposing to provide the programmatic oversight services described
above for $98,000 (i.e. approximately 40 hours per month of combined labor hours over 18
months) on a time and material basis. A copy of our fee schedule for this project is provided as
an attachment to this proposal.
In order to manage the effort and costs throughout the project, E2 will provide a detailed
monthly summary that will describe the (1) work completed, (2) anticipated work for the next
month, (3) list of deliverables provided, and (4) early identification of possible issues that could
impact the project schedule or redevelopment decisions. In the event that additional E2 services

are needed during the 18 month period, E2 will provide a letter proposal that will describe the
services to be provided and a detailed cost proposal prior to initiating work.
