AEI Proposal 41202
Dear Mr. Harbin:
Tel: 408.559.7600 Fax: 408.559.7601
AEI Consultants (AEI) has prepared this proposal to provide environmental consulting services related to
the fuel leak investigation at 41 Miles Avenue in Los Gatos, California ("the Site"). AEI understands that
there is an existing fuel leak investigation case open with the County of Santa Clara, Department of
Environmental Health relating to a former waste oil underground storage tank (UST) at the Site. In the
County's letter dated February 20, 2015 they have requested submittal of a "Work Plan to Address
Impediments to Closure" as identified in their letter dated October 20, 2014. This proposal has been
written to meet this request and to sample the existing groundwater monitoring wells. AEI's proposed
scope of work, schedule and estimate budget are presented below.
SCOPE OF WORK
AEI proposes to perform the following tasks to sample the existing groundwater monitoring wells; El,
MW2, MW3, MW4, E2, E3, and E4; and prepare a work plan presenting a path towards meeting the low -
threat closure policy:
Well Development
• Prepare a site specific health and safety plan (HASP) for the project.
• Notify client and property contact person of the nature and schedule of the work.
• AEI will contract a licensed drilling company to develop the existing wells at the Site. This is to ensure
that valid groundwater samples can be collected in wells that have been untouched in over twenty years.
• Groundwater is expected at approximately 15 to 20 feet below ground surface (bgs) according to
available historical information.
Groundwater Sampling
• Following a minimum of 48-hours after completion of the well development activities, AEI will collect
groundwater samples from each of the monitoring wells. Groundwater samples will be collected using
low -flow purging techniques. Following parameter stabilization, samples will be collected in laboratory
supplied bottles, sealed, labeled, and placed in an ice -chilled cooler for transport to the analytical
laboratory.
Initial Date
• Each groundwater sample will be analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons (multi -range) using US EPA
Testing Method 8015M, with silica gel deanup, and gasoline, fuel oxygenates, and volatile organic
compounds using US EPA Testing Method 82608.
• Purge water from the well development and groundwater sampling activities will be stored on -site in
55-gallon DOT -approved drums pending profiling and proper disposal.
Work Plan Preparation
AEI will prepare a work plan to address the "impediments to closure" as requested by the County. The work
plan will include:
• A summary of the background of the fuel leak investigation and remediation activities performed based
upon the available historical information, including tables summarizing the historical data collected.
• Present the results of the proposed groundwater sampling induding tabular summaries of the analytical
data.
• A conceptual site model describing the presumed release scenario, potential receptors, and appropriate
risk -based deanup goals.
• Figures presenting the historical and current information.
• AEI's proposed activities to meet the low -threat closure policy requirements as warranted by the current
groundwater results and as discussed and decided upon with representatives from the Town of Los
Gatos.
• AEI will provide a draft of the completed work plan to the Town of Los Gatos for review and comment
prior to submittal of the document to the County.
COST ESTIMATE AND ASSUMPTIONS
AEI will complete the stated scope of work for the total price of $ 13,400.00, comprised of the following
fixed price items:
Well Development $7,000.00
Groundwater Sampling $3,600.00
Work Plan Preparation $2,800.00
We have estimated the time requirements and associated costs of the proposed scope of work on the basis
and level of effort deemed appropriate for the evaluation and based on the following assumptions:
• Field activities will occur during normal business hours (7:00 am — 5:30 pm) Monday through Friday.
• All work will commence on private property. If the client Is not the owner of the property, the client will
obtain written authorization from the property owner to perform this project. Client is responsible for
providing access to the site and notification/coordination with on -site tenant(s). Access delays on the
day of field work may result in additional costs.
• AEI will have clear access to the sampling locations with necessary equipment. AEI is not responsible for
clearing drilling areas for access.
• AEI is not responsible for damage to flooring, floor tiles, carpet or other surface materials.
• The presence of drilling equipment on landscaped areas may be needed in order to collect the samples
proposed. AEI is not responsible for damage to landscaping (plants, grass, or trees) or damage to
irrigation lines. AEI is not responsible for repairs due to ruts in the surface.
• Level D personal protective equipment (PPE) is the maximum necessary.
• AEI is not responsible for damages to underground or aboveground utilities, for unmarked or mismarked
utilities or other features, or for damage that occurs to such utilities or features. The client is responsible
for providing information to AEI regarding the location of intra-site utilities. If a private utility locating

service is not specifically included in the scope of work, such services can be arranged if requested by
the client; such services will be billed at cost plus 15%.
• AEI is not responsible for delays or scope limitations caused by property access issues; equipment, or
analytical unavailability or delays; regulatory or permitting agencies; difficult subsurface conditions;
weather; or other acts or conditions outside of AEI's control.
• Investigation derived waste will remain onsite. Disposal costs are not included. Upon receipt of
analytical data, AEI can provide disposal estimates, if requested.
• Upon receipt of laboratory data, additional samples may be analyzed, if collected and placed on hold, at
the request of the dient for additional fees.
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE
AEI will schedule the above -described activities Immediately following your authorization. We anticipate that
the well development and groundwater sampling can be completed within three -weeks of authorization. A
draft work plan will be ready for review and comment a minimum of one -week prior to submittal to the
County on or before June 12, 2015. The client will be notified of any delays.

Approximately 72 hours after well development, each of the wells will be sampled. Field
measurements will be collected using a water quality meter, and sampling will be
conducted once parameters have reasonably stabilized. The samples will be collected
and shipped under chain of custody documentation to Torrent Laboratory, Inc., a
California state certified laboratory in Milpitas, CA, for analysis. Based on the fact that
the reported release was from a waste oil tank, the SCCDEH requires the following
analysis be performed for underground storage tank system closures (Attachment A):
• Total petroleum hydrocarbons as Gasoline and Diesel by EPA Method 8015 Fuel
Screen with silica gel cleanup;
• Hexane extractable materials by EPA 1664;
• Volatile organic compounds, including chlorinated hydrocarbons (full scan) by
EPA 8260B;
• Metals: Cd, Cr, Pb, Ni, and Zn by EPA 6010B;
• Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by EPA 8082A; and
• Semi volatile organic compounds, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, by
EPA 8270
TASK 3 - PRELIMINARY DRAFT REPORT AND WORK PLAN PREPARATION
A preliminary draft report will be prepared following completion of the field tasks, which
will present and validate the collected data, summarize findings, present conclusions,
and recommendations for follow up work. Stantec will submit the report to, and meet
with, the Town of Los Gatos to discuss results and strategize for development of the
SCCDEH reqired work plan. Following the meeting, Stantec will prepare a work plan to
be submitted to the SCCDEH before the requested date of June 12, 2015.

After reviewing the available documents and our meeting at your office on March 6,
2015, Stantec's proposes to conduct an environmental assessment in phases, with the first
phase of work described below.
SCOPE OF WORK
Stantec will accomplish this project phase in the three tasks described below.
TASK 1 - HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN PREPARATION, PREFIELD, AND SITE RECONNAISSANCE
Stantec will prepare a Site -specific health and safety plan (HASP) in accordance with the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines set forth in Hazardous
Waste Operations and Emergency Response (29 CFR 1910.120). The HASP describes
potential physical and chemical hazards associated with the proposed scope of work,
and prescribes mitigating measures and safety procedures. The HASP includes
emergency contact information and a driving route to the nearest emergency care
facility. The HASP will be reviewed and signed by all personnel and subcontractors
performing work on the Site. A copy will be present on -Site at all times and kept in an
easily accessed location. Contractors may also work under their own HASP, which will be
at least as stringent as the project -specific Stantec HASP.
Stantec will subcontract with Gregg Drilling & Testing, Inc. (Gregg) for well development,
and Mid Coast Engineers (Mid Coast), for well surveying. Lastly, this task includes a Site
reconnaissance to open the six remaining groundwater monitoring well lids and
determine if the well casings appear to be intact and confirm groundwater total well
depths. This information is needed prior to mobilization for the monitoring well
development.
TASK 2 -- WELL DEVELOPMENT, SAMPLING, ANALYSIS, AND SURVEYING
Each of the seven existing groundwater monitoring wells will be redeveloped by Gregg,
under the supervision of a Stantec field geologist. The groundwater well development rig
equipped with a surge block will be used to agitate groundwater within each well prior
to and during well development. A submersible pump or bailer will be used to purge
groundwater and sediment from well casings. Well development will be continued until
water quality parameters (i.e., pH, temperature, specific conductivity, and oxidation-
reduction potential [ORP]) have all stabilized (± 10 percent) or a minimum of ten well
casing volumes of groundwater have been purged from the wells during development.
Groundwater quality parameters will be recorded onto well development field logs.
Purged groundwater will be stored in a secured area on Site in sealed, labeled,
department of transportation (DOT) approved, 55-gallon drums pending disposal.

Dear Mr. Harbin,
Reference: Proposal for Environmental Assessment Services
41 Miles Avenue, Los Gatos, CA
Case No. 14-837, SCVWDID No. 08S 1 W21 C01 f
Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (Stantec) has prepared this proposal to the Town of Los
Gatos for the scope of work and costs related to environmental assessment services at
the above referenced property (Site).
BACKGROUND
The Site has been owned by the Town of Los Gatos since circa 1957 and is used by the
Town's Department of Public Works Service Center for storage, maintenance, and
dispatch of Public Utility vehicles, equipment, and construction materials. According to
documents located on the Santa Clara Valley Water District Leaking Underground
Storage Tank (SCVWDLUST) website and the State Water Resources Control Board
GeoTracker website, a 400-gallon concrete waste oil tank was removed in 1987.
Following removal, free floating product (FP) was found in a nearby monitoring well. An
FP skimming system was proposed and apparently installed in August 1990, however,
there has been no documentation since then of the effectiveness of the FP removal
system or any subsequent environmental site activities.
In October 2014, the Santa Clara County Department of Environmental Health (SCCDEH)
issued a letter requesting additional information regarding FP removal, investigations,
groundwater monitoring and remediation that was conducted at the Site to be
submitted to their office, with various requested due dates between January 23, 2015
and April 30, 2015. On February 20, 2015, after receiving an email from your office with
information regarding the destruction of monitoring well E-3 in 1991, the SCCDEH revised
their request to only include a "Work Plan to Address Impediments to Closure" by June
12, 2015.
