A. RECOGNITION OF RISK
SWDD recognizes that opinions relating, to environmental, geologic and geotechnical conditions are based
on limited data and that actual conditions may vary from those encountered at the times and locations where data are
obtained, and that the limited data results in uncertainty with respect to the interpretation of these conditions, despite
the use of due professional care. It is further recognized that the state of practice, particularly with respect to
contaminated site and waste conditions, is changing and evolving (for example, the long-term effect of chemicals on
soils or manufactured or constructed liner systems is not well-established or known at this time), and, further, that
certain of the governmental regulations relating to hazardous waste sites purport to require achievement of results
which cannot be accomplished in an absolute sense (e.g., the construction of entirely impermeable liners).
GeoSyntec shall be obligated to comply with applicable professional standards of care in the performance of the
Services but does not guarantee results.
5. RISK ALLOCATION
The liability of GcoSymcc, its employees, agents and subcontractors (hereinafter for purposes of this
paragraph 5 referred to collectively as "GeoSyntec"), for SWDD's claims of loss, injury, death, damage, or expense,

As a result of our telephone conversation on Friday, 4 lute 1999, GeoSyntec
Consultants (GeoSyntec) is pleased to present five copies of this proposal for execution
by the Indian River County Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) to prepare a
Preliminary Remedial Action Plan (PRAP) for the Gifford Road Landfill site. A cost
estimate and Work Authorization No. I are attached to this proposal. GenSyntec's 24
May 1999 correspondence provides our understanding of site conditions and the
technical basis for this proposal. This nropn&al is consist -crit with the reCOuunundations
presented in the 24 May 1999 correspondence and builds on the preliminary scope of
work presented therein.
The purpose of the PRAP is to address groundwater that has been impacted by
chlorinated volatile organic compounds (VOCs) existing in the vicinity of the eastern
portion of the landfill. We propose that the PRAP consist of
a a brief summary of site conditions;
• evaluation of potential remedial alternatives;

identification of data needed to support remedial action development (i.e.,
source area delineation, natural attenuation data, ctc.);
• design of the pilot test program to evaluate Indian River County's (IBC's)
selected remedial alternative; and
• a schedule for addressing data gaps, implementing the proposed pilot test
program, and preparing the Remedial Action Plan (RAP).
TASK BREAKDOWN
GeoSyntec proposes that the scope of work be accomplished utilizing the following
task breakdown:
• Task I: Project Management
• Task 2: Prepare Draft PRAP
• Task 2A: Review and Assessment of Data/Reports
• Task 213: Prepare Source Identification Workplan
• Task 2C: Evaluate Remedial Options and Design Pilot Test
• Task 213: 'Prepare MNA Evaluation Workplan
• Task 21E: Internal Review Meeting with 'IBC
• Task 3: Prcparr: PRAP for Submittal to FDEP
The scope of work to be accomplished under each of these tasks is described below.

Task 1: Project Mana eg ment
Under this task, Ms. Weeks will coordinate all work scope elements. She will
ensure the budget and schedule commitments are met and that IRC is integrated into the
project.
Task 2A: Review and Assessment of Data/Reports
GeoSyntec proposes to conduct a brief review of IRC's files related to the Gifford
Road Landfill site to ensure that the information we obtained during the proposal
preparation process is complete. (We have learned that we are missing a few
documents). As part of this effort and with IRC's help, we will work to obtain and
review copies of all pertinent materials, including reports and available information that
may assist in designing an effective remedy.
Task 213: Prepare Source Identification Workplan
The PRAP will include a workplan that is designed to search for the source of the
VOC groundwater contamination. For this effort, we will review historical information,
such as plume migration patterns and aerial photographs, to guide the assessment
design. The Source Identification Workplan will be implemented following Florida
Department of Environmental Protection ('DEP) approval. The results of the fieldwork
and analysis will be included in the RAP. If source area(s) are identified within the
landfill, remedial measures can be designed to address the source area(s). If the source
areas are remediated, cleanup of the groundwater will be expedited.
Task 2C: 'Evaluate Remedial Options and Resign Pilot Test
GeoSyntec will evaluate candidate remedial technologies to address the VOC
groundwater impacts just east of the landfill. The pilot test design will focus on
performancc of interim remedial measures through use of a small-scale test system near
the northeastern landfill boundary. If the pilot test program is effective, the remedial

alternative can later be expanded to a full-scale system (following FDEP approval of the
RAP).
Candidate technologies to be considered tinder Task 2C include: (i) insitu treatment
of groundwater by biosparging; (ii) insitu treatment of groundwater by air sparging; and
(iii) insitu treatment of soils by soil vapor extraction. As part of this evaluation,
GeoSyntec will work with IRC to assist in selecting a remedial strategy to be pursued
further :with a pilot test. The PRAP will include detailed procedures to implement the
pilot test program.
Since we have already had discussions on this subject with iRC and FDEP, the
attached cost estimate assumes design of a pilot test biosparging remedial system. If a
more complicated pilot test system design is needed based on the evaluation of remedial
options and input by IRC, GeoSyntec may need to request additional budget to
complete this task.
Task 213: Develop MNA Evaluation Workplan
We understand that Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) should be evaluated as
a potential ccriponcnt of the oveiail site remedy. To begin this MNA evaluation,
currently available information will be utilized and data gaps will be identified in the
PRAP. As a result, an MNA Evaluation Workplan will be prepared and included in the
PRAP and will specify the fieldwork necessary to fill data gaps which will ultimately
allow a demonstration of the viability of MNA as a remedial option in accordance with
FDEP and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guidelines.
Task 2E: Draft PRAP Review Meeting with IRC
GeoSyntec will meet with IRC to review the drall PRAP and to discuss the pros
and cons of each scoped work element (including order of magnitude costs,
implementation schedules, etc.) and compliance with lRC's objectivestgoals for the site.
Mr. Chris Herin and Ms. Nandra Weeks will attend a 0.5 -day meeting with IRC.

GeoSyntec will modify the PRAT' in accordance with direction given by IRC at the draft
PRAP review meeting. A second draft PRAP will be submitted for IRC's review. Only
minor editorial comments are anticipated (to be provided by IRC via facsimile or
teleconference),.
Task 3: Pre are PRAP for Submittal to FDEP
GcoSyntec will prepare five copies of the PRAP for submission to IRC for internal
distribution and forwarding to FDEP. GcoSyntec proposes that a meeting will be held
with FDEP concurrent with submittal of the PRAP. We have included budget for a 0.5 -
day meeting with FDEP to present the PRAP. The primary purpose of this meeting will
be to discuss the contents of and recommendations presented within the PRAP. Mr.
Chris Herin and Ms. Nandra Weeks will attend the meeting. Note: Addressing FDEP
comments (if any) will be handled under a separate (to be determined) budget.
BUDGET ESTIMATE
The rest estimate for preparing the PRAP as described herein is $29,716.iu, The
breakdown of the costs by hours and tasks is presented in the attached cost estimate
spreadsheet. GcoSyntec notes that cost estimates for performing work subsequent to
the approval of the PRAP are not included in the estimate presented above. Separate
cost estimates will be prepared at a later date to implement the Source Identification
Workplan, the pilot test program, MNA Evaluation Workplan, and any other fieldwork
that is warranted or necessary in IRC's efforts to address the Gifford Road Landfill site.
In addition, a separate cost estimate will be prepared at a inter date to prepare the RAP
for the site.
