As stated previously b Section A, SOILS ENGINEERING INC. is a full service environmental and geotechnical firm providing quality work at reasonable cost. Since SEI's home office is in Bakersfield, CA. we are capable of responding quickly to the City of Bakersfield and Equilon's needs or to changing conditions if applicable. SEI's geologists, drillers and engineers are highly qualified to conduct the proposed scope of work in an efficient manner with out subcontracting out any of the work except for the analytical testing. This keeps our clients cost down limiting the markup and thus costs on services you need. SEI's drilling services has experience drilling at the Equilon Refinery and will be aware of safety concerns and safety requirements of the facility. In addition, SEI is aware of typical lithologies to be encountered in the subsurface and suspected utilities that may be present. Since SEI is aware of typical drilling conditions at the site it limits the chance for Change Orders due to unknown conditions, because these will be reduced to a minimum. SEI's geologist have conducted numerous similar site characterization investigations at former UST's sites, sumps, pipelines, housing developments, and local and federal government facilities. Our registered professional have experience with local regulatory agencies such as the Kern County Environmental Health Services Department (KCEHSD), City of Bakersfield Fire Department Office of Environmental Health Services (BFDOES) and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). Based on this experience SEI's Geologists can prepare a comprehensive Site Sampling Workplan (Workplan) which will describe the proposed work to be conducted. The Workplan will include; soil boring and sample locations, soil sampling procedures, proposed analytical testing methods, decontamination procedures, quality assurance and quality control procedures, a Site-Specific Health & Safety Plan and the proposed Site Sampling Report content.

Proposal ENVO0-32 June 13, 2000 Page 28 Once the Workplan has been approved by the City of Bakersfield and Equilon personnel SEI will conduct the field work. It is expected to take between 8 to 10 days of drilling to collect the proposed quantity of soil samples unless both of SEI's drilling rigs are utilized at the same time. The shallow soil samples (6" bgs.) will be collected with a hand auger or slide-hammer sampler. Sampling equipment will be decontaminated between each sampling event. The soil samples will be labeled, sealed and placed in iced storage until delivery to a State certified analytical laboratory for analysis under a Chain Of Custody Document. Expected turnaround time is 14 days for the analysis. Following the receipt of the soil sample analytical results a Site Sampling Report (Report) will be prepared by SEI's Registered Geologist and will include: soil sampling procedures, soil sample locations, analytical results, cross-sections showing analytical results at depth and locations, boring logs, with conclusions and recommendations for the upcoming sewer line project. This report will be submitted within 15 days of the receipt of the soil sample analytical results. SEI's personnel working at the site will have all the required safety training including up to date fit test for ½ or full-face air-purifying respirators. SEI will have the appropriate respirator cartridges on-site for use if determined to be needed. In addition self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA's) and/or supplied-ak respirators with escape air cylinders will be available if needed. Employees will wear Nomex or Indura Proban flame resistant clothing during the investigation. Ail SEI employees working on this project will comply with the requirements of the RFQ & P documents.
