PROPOSED SCOPE OF SERVICES It is our understanding that three separate cost projections are required for three different assessment options. The three options include the following: 1. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment of the Rent All property; 2. A Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessment of the Rent All property; 3. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment of all seven parcels (totaling approximately 10.81 acres). The applicable scopes of work for a Phase I and a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment are described below: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment will be conducted in accordance with ASTM Standard Practice E 1527-97, which is an industry standard defining good commercial and customary practice for conducting an Environmental Site Assessment. The purpose of this assessment will be to identify recognized environmental conditions relating to the subject property as defined by the ASTM Standard. Federal and state records will be obtained from appropriate government agencies or commercial services to check if the subject property or other sites within ASTM specified search distances are identified in connection with the potential release of hazardous substances or petroleum products. Geologic maps and publications will be reviewed to interpret surficial geologic, hydrologic and groundwater flow conditions on and near the property. PEER will evaluate the significance of any government listing found, with respect to potential environmental impacts to the subject property, based on the nature of the listing and estimated hydrogeologic conditions. Historical research will be performed to evaluate past land use activities on and near the property. Standard sources of information include readily available aerial photographs, Sanborn Fire Insurance maps, and city directories. PEER will evaluate the available historical information with respect to the presence or likely presence of recognized environmental conditions on the property. A site reconnaissance will be performed to visually and physically observe the property. Any evidence of the past or current use, treatment, storage, disposal or generation of ha7nrdous substances and petroleum products will be documented. Current and past uses of adjoining properties will be observed and documented with respect to recogi7ed environmental conditions to the extent that observations from the subject property or public corridors can readily distinguish adjoining site features. Observations will be made to identify building materials that may contain asbestos.
