City of South Bend— Ivy Tower Corporation November 16, 2011 Page 2 of 7 offices totaling approximately 3,080 sq. ft., with an additional 21,083 sq. ft. of warehousing space. The second level of the facility consists of approximately 169,134 sq. ft of warehousing space. The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors of the facility each consist of approximately 84,080 sq. ft. of warehousing space. We note that the building has also been improved with the construction of truck docking facilities to enhance the loading and unloading of materials for storage, penthouse mechanical systems for climate control, paving to support truck traffic, and fencing for security purposes. It is our understanding that the City of South Bend is considering acquisition of the subject site for eventual redevelopment, possibly using other adjacent parcels owned by the City of South Bend to enhance electrical power control and potential use in association with the nanotechnology /computer services of the nearby Innovation Park complex. In support of the potential redevelopment effort, the City of South Bend has requested the completion of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment as part of the pre - purchase environmental due diligence process for the purpose of identifying any potential environmental impacts. The City of South Bend, given the facilities age and prior use, is also concerned with the potential presence of asbestos - containing materials (ACM) and lead -based paint (LBP). The following proposed Scope of Services further details the approach for each of the requested tasks. PROPOSED SCOPE OF SERVICES TASK 1 — PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT It is the intent of Wightman Petrie to perform the Phase I ESA in general accordance with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) document ASTM E 1527 -05, which is considered consistent with the provisions of EPA's All Appropriate Inquiry. The proposed Phase I Environmental Site Assessment will consist of the following components: • Records Review • Site Reconnaissance • Interviews • Reporting RECORDS REVIEW The purpose of the records review is to obtain and review records that will help identify environmental concerns in connection with the subject site. As part of this phase of the project, we will attempt to obtain and review those records that are "reasonably ascertainable." For the purposes of this proposal, "reasonably ascertainable" information is defined as: (1) publicly available, (2) obtainable from its source within reasonable time and cost constraints, and (3) practically reviewable. The assessment will include a review, where available or applicable, of both Environmental and Historical sources. ENVIRONMENTAL RECORDS REVIEW The following publicly available listings will be reviewed: Standard Environmental Records Federal NPL Site list Proposed NPL Site List Delisted NPL Site List NPL Liens List Federal CERCLIS List Federal CERCLIS NFRAP List Federal RCRA TSD Facilities List Search Distance (Miles from Boundariesl 1.0 1.0 1.0 Target Property 0.5 0.5 0.5
