Understanding of Need <br />Category I: Environmental Site Assessments and Investigation <br />Successful reuse/redevelopment of contaminated property requires a team of engineering, geology, <br />hydrogeology, and chemistry professionals; an understanding of local, state, and federal regulations; and <br />familiarity with the nuances of regulatory agencies. Our experts evaluate and manage all aspects of <br />environmental due diligence, cost —benefit analysis, data collection, risk assessment, remediation, and <br />environmental program management. We evaluate and implement remedial alternatives that are cost- <br />effective, time -sensitive, and consider all aspects of risk. We have successfully performed investigation and <br />remediation on commercial and industrial properties, including manufacturing facilities, dry cleaners, <br />automotive shops, oil fields, schools, universities, agricultural sites, hotels, casinos, and renewable energy <br />facilities, as well as residential project sites. <br />Our professionals have conducted hundreds of Phase I ESAs in accordance with the appropriate and <br />applicable ASTM standard. We are thorough in our research to determine recognized environmental <br />conditions (RECs) and/or environmental concerns that can impact the cost, risk, and schedule of a project. <br />We are often asked to evaluate items beyond the ASTM scope for Phase I ESAs, including existing <br />conditions related to hazardous building materials and mold as well as providing information regarding <br />radon, oil and gas wells, and methane zones. <br />Dudek environmental engineers and geologists expertly design and implement Phase II ESAs to collect <br />a comprehensive data set for use in planning, site development, and/or remediation, as well as to <br />satisfy regulatory requirements. We understand that most projects are subject to schedule and/or <br />budgetary constraints, and we take those into consideration when specifying data objectives. Dudek <br />scientists prepare site -specific risk assessments to evaluate potential risks for current and future land <br />use. These studies may be used to obtain risk -based closure for open hazardous waste sites or to <br />support change -of -use applications, such as from industrial to commercial or residential. <br />While not a part of the requested services for this RFP, Dudek also prepares and performs groundwater <br />modeling, remedial investigation/feasibility studies, remediation, soil management plans, hazardous <br />materials contingency plans, as well as hazardous waste facility permits. This additional experience <br />gives us the foundation to better understand and evaluate data and anticipate future project needs. <br />Dudek understands the importance of quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC). Our QA/QC program <br />consists of senior staff oversight and administrative management. All project deliverables will be <br />independently checked and cross-checked to ensure that the data are accurately represented in each <br />report. We will ensure that all project -related correspondence and project files are maintained and <br />named in accordance with City requirements. <br />Category II: Hazardous Materials Surveys <br />Aurora provides comprehensive asbestos and lead management services that take projects from initial <br />inspection through abatement and clearance testing. Aurora's team consists of Certified Industrial <br />Hygienists, Department of Public Health -Certified Lead Inspectors, Asbestos Consultants, risk <br />assessors, project monitors and designers, and Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act asbestos <br />specialists who provide asbestos and lead risk management services as well as other hazardous <br />materials building surveys. <br />Various Environmental Services 6 <br />
