Mr. Chris Dressel March 4,2014 Page 9 of 18 prepared by Weaver Boos and submitted with the IBP Comfort Letter Request for their consideration. The draft ERC will likely be similar to the unrecorded ERC prepared as part of the July 8, 2010 Comfort Letter issued to the City of South Bend Redevelopment Commission but may take into account, if applicable, the proposed usage of the site by the prospective purchaser and the 2011-2012 demolition and excavation activities. Note, the IBP will finalize their own ERC and attach the document to the Comfort Letter once issued. Once the site is acquired by the prospective purchaser, the document must be recorded on the deed for the site with a certified copy of the filed document returned to the IBP. Based on our initial review of the 2011-2012 demolition and excavation activities, a"cap"across the soils will likely still be required, as outlined in the 2010 Comfort Letter. To eliminate the "cap" requirement, additional soil sampling and testing may be necessary to demonstrate to the IBP that the soils exceeding default industrial closure levels were removed. Based on our review of the demolition and soil excavation summary report discussed earlier in this proposal, no soil verification sampling and testing was completed from the two excavations once the soil was removed. However, since the prospective purchaser plans to pave (or create a new"cap") across the site, Weaver Boos believes that no additional sampling or testing is presently warranted. Should this not be the case, then Weaver Boos reserves the right to modify this proposal to include limited sampling and testing if requested by the IBP. In preparing the ERC (and the Comfort Letter request), the prospective purchaser may need to provide to Weaver Boos their plans for the site. Task 4—Submit Package to Client for Final Approval Once Tasks 1-3 are completed, Weaver Boos will submit the package to the client for review, approval, and signature from the prospective purchaser, where applicable. At the option of the client, Weaver Boos can submit the package to the IBP upon approval. Scope of Work —Ivy Tower Complex IBP Letter Task 1 - Complete IBP Letter Request Form (State Form 51493) Weaver Boos will prepare State Form 51493 (see attached) for the IBP Letter(s)determined to be most appropriate with information provided by the client or client's counsel. Information to be provided by the client will include the letter recipient and mailing information. The name of the letter recipient should match the entity that actually holds the deed to the property (Studebaker Building 84 LLC).
