Phase 2 included the cleanup of the PCB contaminated sludge in the digesters and lagoons and the demolition of relic structures for the Trinity River Vision Oxbow Project at Gateway Park. The completion of Phase 2 of this project is necessary to meet State and Federal regulatory requirements with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). PROPOSED CONTRACT AMENDMENT During the execution of this project, Freese and Nichols conducted additional services not enumerated in the contracted Scope of Services to keep the project moving toward completion. The costs associated with these services will exceed the current contracted amount. Freese and Nichols is proposing a contract amendment to cover the following scope items that were necessary to complete the project that were not part of the original scope of services: • Coordination with the US Army Corps of Engineers and Trinity River Vision Project— Freese and Nichols coordinated with the US Army Corps of Engineers, Trinity River Vision/Tarrant Regional Water District and their consultants to coordinate post- construction field survey information and investigate stormwater drain connections from Sector 1 (Former Plant Area) prior to the initiation of the USACE Phase 2 Contract to excavate and move material from oxbow Site H to the former plant area.This resulted in additional labor costs of$3,500. • Metes and Bounds Description and Boundary Survey for Final Certificate of Completion—The TCEQ approved the final Affected Property Assessment Report(APAR) and Final Closure Report and requested that the City provide a metes and bounds description of the affected property with boundary survey sealed by a Registered Ms. Stacy Walters January 20, 2020 Page 2 of 2 Professional Land Surveyor (RPLS). Due to the institutional control (HDPE liner and cap system) in Sector 4 (Soccer and Rugby Fields), the affected property for the Final Certificate of Completion was limited to Sector 1 (Former Plant Area), Sector 2 (Former Sludge Lagoons) and Sector 3 (Softball Fields). A new boundary survey and metes and bounds description was prepared for smaller affected property footprint by Gorrondona & Associates in December 2019. This resulted in additional subconsultant cost of$14,180.00. Total costs from these additional scope items were approximately $17,680. This proposed contract amendment will cover expenses already incurred by Freese and Nichols to complete closure of the Riverside Wastewater Treatment Plant Closure Project. The City also requested that Freese and Nichols provide optional costs for the plugging and abandonment of the existing groundwater monitoring wells at the site. There are currently thirteen monitoring wells present at the site. A licensed water well driller is required for the plugging and abandonment of the monitoring wells in the state of Texas. The cost estimate received from the licensed water well driller is $4,830. Freese and Nichols is requesting a contract amendment in the amount of$22,510 to cover the services provided to the City under this contract, as described above, and to plug and abandon the 13 monitoring wells present on the site. If you have any questions on the scope or budget, please feel free to contact me at kmb@freese.com or 817-735-7332. Sincerely, FREESE AND NICHOLS, INC. .9� ac�l- ' , Kimberly Buckley, P.G. Robert W.
