The Phase II project area includes the intersection of Hermann Avenue and Whittier Street where undesirable subsurface soils were encountered several years during the performance of routine roadway repairs, However, now that a comprehensive roadway reconsbuction project is planned for the intersection in question, a detailed subsurface investigation is necessary to determine the extent and quality of the undesirable material. In order to obtain subsurface infonnation necessary for the roadway design and consbuction, we propose the following Scope of Services to detineate the extent of the material within the right-of- way and project limits, and to test it for hazardous constituents, The environmeutal investigation included in this scope of services is intended to characterize the undesirable material (white fill) SU8pected to be present within the road improvement project limits and provide necessary infonnatlon for possible off site disposal. However, should the results of the lab analyses reveal soil contamination additional rounds of sampling and analysis beyond the scope of this initial investigation will be required. It is also likely the Borough will need to notify NJDEP regarding the findings. Scope of Services Initial Site Characterization The proposed Hermann Avenue roadway improvement project is 1,200 feet in length. Initial site characterization will proceed as follows: I) Soil cores will be collected across the roadway (two gutters and centerline) via direct push (Geoprobe) sampling equipment at 50-foot intervals to visual1y examine the material beneath the roadway. Corings will extend to 5-10 feet below grade based on visual characteristics of the soils. Core locations will be surveyed with a Global Positioning System (GPS). 2) Cores will be taken starting from the SU8pected area of undesirable material then proceed east and west down the street within the project area.

Should the extent of the targeted material extend west of Linden Street and east of Longfellow, a supplemental scope and fee will be provided. 4) During the 1 day operation, one soil sample of the suspect white fill material will be collected (if encountered). 5) Soil cores with evidence of contamination (odors, staining, and screening instrument response) will be analyzed for the parameters specified below. Soil samples will be analyzed for Target Contaminant List/farget Analyte List (fCIJrAL) organic compounds and metals, cyanide, phenol and pH. A field/trip blank will also be collected for quality assurance/quality control purposes. Pricing proposed herein for laboratory services is based on a one-week turnaround time for sample analysis/results.
