RE: Kissel Park Contract Adjustment to Investigate and Develop Cleanup Plan for Gailleon
Park, Yakima WA
Dear Chris:
At the request of Denise Nichols, we are providing you with this fourth addendum to the existing
contract for environmental services related to cleanup of lead arsenate at Kissel Park.
This proposal, if accepted, would amend our contract by authorizing an increase in the contract
ceiling for the purpose of assisting the City of Yakima with the investigation and cleanup of lead
arsenate in soils at Gailleon Park. The city desires to develop the Park into a new Senior
Citizens Center. We understand that the site was once the location of a pear orchard.
Preliminary testing by the Department of Ecology indicates that the surface soils may be
contaminated with lead and arsenic.
According the Ms. Nichols, the City will perform the cleanup of the site as a Voluntary Cleanup
Action, with paid assistance and review from the Department of Ecology. The City may be
eligible for reimbursement of certain cleanup expenses through grant funds available from the
Department of Ecology's Voluntary Cleanup Program. The City desires a very low cost
investigation and cleanup, with significant assistance provided by the Department of Ecology.
As most of the site will be paved, we foresee a simple cleanup action in which the contaminated
soils are relocated under pavement. The Department of Ecology (Mr. Norm Heppner) will
assist with the investigation by using the newly -purchased XRF meter to test samples. We will
coordinate with Mr. Heppner by jointly developing a sampling plan. We will assist Mr. Heppner
with the collection of the appropriate number of samples, estimated to be around 20. The
Department of Ecology will pay of all sampling, costs. Based on the sampling results, we will
develop a brief Cleanup Action Plan. Following this, we will work with the City's architect to
incorporate the critical elements of the CAP into the plans and specifications. Following
selection of a contractor, we will provide assistance as needed for the actual cleanup action.
Following cleanup, the Department of Ecology will collect samples to verify the cleanup action
met its goals. Following this, we will prepare a brief summary report documenting the cleanup
action. Ecology will review this report and use it as the basis for 'assigning a "No Further
Action" designation to this site.

Amendment No. 4 With Floyd Snider McCarthy for Environmental
Consulting Services at Gailleon Park
SUBMITTED BY: Chris Waarvick, Public Works Director
Denise Nichols, Parks and Recreation Manager
CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Denise Nichols/576-6416
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Staff respectfully requests Council consideration of the attached resolution authorizing a contract
amendment with Floyd Snider McCarthy for environmental consulting services for the Gailleon Park
property at 65th and Summitview. The original contract was approved by City Council at the
January 16, 2001 Business meeting. Floyd Snider McCarthy is currently engaged with the City for
Kissel Park. development activity with respect to the mitigation of the lead/arsenic contamination of the
soil. Their efforts have allowed for the detailed identification of soil contamination, mitigation
measures acceptable to the Department of Ecology (Ecology) and the ultimate successful award of a
remedial action grant exceeding $500,000 at Kissel Park.
Over the last 18 months, the City has been engaged with a philanthropic foundation highly motivated
to provide the community a new senior center. After many discussions, the donor indicated that the
Gailleon. Park site at 65th and Summitview was the foundation's preferred location. Staff then had
discussions with Ecology concerning the relative likelihood that the soil at Gailleon Park would have
low-level soil contamination similar to Kissel Park because of their common agricultural history.
Indeed, preliminary testing indicates lead and arsenic contamination similar to that at Kissel Park.

Further discussions with Ecology led staff to Ecology's Voluntary Clean-up Program (VCP). Under this
program, mitigation costs, including consulting services, up to $200,000 are eligible for 75%
reimbursement to a public entity. Staff has submitted an application for this site under Ecology's VCP
for remediation- activity. Floyd Snider McCarthy under this contract would provide the mitigation plan
consistent with the design for the new Senior Center that the foundation is currently creating.
Staff appreciates that Council has not had the opportunity to formally review the new Senior Center
design and formally provide approval to the effort. This approval mechanism will be brought forth
through a specifically tailored license agreement between the foundation and the City for the time
period of construction followed by "turn -key" release of the site and facility back to the City. This
license agreement is anticipated to be brought before Council in early August. In any event, staff
believes it is in the best interest of the site and the project to begin now on the soil remediation efforts
— those obligations belong solely to the City under any scenario at any future time. The remediation
measures must be consistent with the foundation's design concepts and details for it to be successful.

Mr. Christopher Waarvick
Public Works Director, City of Yakima
2301 Fruitvale Boulevard
Yakima, WA 98902
Dear Chris:
At your request, we are pleased to provide you with this second addendum to the existing
contract for environmental services related to cleanup of Kissel Park. We have recently
achieved many milestones, including completion of the final Cleanup Action Plan, award of an
Ecology remedial action grant, completion of park plans and specs, and an accurate cost
estimate. Future work is solely related to the actual cleanup of the park; however, our current
budget ceiling of $101,000 has been reached. Therefore, I am requesting that you approve this
additional addendum so the four tasks below can be performed.
This proposal, if accepted, would amend our contract by authorizing costs for three tasks related
to park construction. The fourth task is a discretionary one related to grant funding. The first
three tasks were originally described in the first contract addendum (letter to you dated May 8,
2001). The estimated amounts for each task remain the same except for Task 2, which has
increased by $2,000 to cover the extra cost of sampling and cleanup oversight in Areas 2 and 4
that now will be excavated instead of covered. Please remember that the first three tasks are
eligible for 75 percent reimbursement from the recently awarded Ecology grant as they are
directly related to the cleanup of Kissel Park.
1. Develop a Maintenance Plan. The required Maintenance Plan describes how the
City of Yakima (City) will handle contaminated soil when performing utility or other
subsurface work following completion of the park, as well as including procedures for
inspecting and maintaining the soil cover, turf, and paved areas. Estimated Cost:
$2,400.
2. Construction Support and Confirmation Sampling. During construction, we will
be available, as necessary, to provide support to the contractor and field inspector to
ensure that the cleanup action is implemented as designed. We must also collect 12
to 16 confirmation samples from excavated or deep tilled areas to document that
these areas are permanently cleaned up. Estimated Cost: $8,800.
3. Final Documentation. The final documentation will be a brief summary report of
approximately 15 pages to document that the cleanup of Kissel Park was
accomplished in accordance with the Cleanup Action Plan. The summary report will
consist of several pages of text followed by copies of field logs, site photographs,
and soil sample analytical results. Estimated Cost: $2,050.

Mr. Christopher Waarvick
September 25, 2001 Floyd Snider McCarthy, Inc.
4. Other Support as Necessary. Provide support for the City, via written
correspondence or other communication, to lobby for Kissel Park to receive
supplemental Ecology grant funding. Also provide other assistance as deemed
necessary by the city. Estimated Cost: $1,800.
REASONS FOR EXTRA COSTS TO COMPLETE EXISTING TASKS
The scope of the original 2000 contract and the May 8 addendum contain a series of tasks, with
a cost estimate for each task. The assumptions used to estimate the cost for each task were
preliminary and, therefore, did not accurately account for the actual effort required to complete
the tasks. The beyond -scope tasks are described below.
RI/FS and Cleanup Action Plan. The number of samples collected for the RI was greater than
originally estimated. Ecology requested changes to the Cleanup Action Pian document after it
was issued final, so the document was revised and reissued. The amount of funding provided
by Ecology for the tilling pilot test was insufficient to cover the analysis of the data and the
analysis of the Pilot test data required considerable more effort then estimated.
Cost Estimate Review and Assistance. We provided substantial assistance to KDF's cost
estimator, Roen Associates, in order to develop construction cost estimates. Cost estimating
was not a scoped task and involved considerable effort.
Grant Application. This task required substantially more effort than was budgeted due to the
unforeseen complexity of the grant application, which involved a number of conference calls to
develop strategy, prepare and review the grant application by Preston Gates, coordinate the
costs in the grant application with the cost estimate, prepare cover letters, revise the grant
application at the request of Ecology, track grant application progress, and develop a spending
schedule and acceptance letter.
Assisting KDF with Cleanup Plans and Specs. Substantially more effort was spent reviewing
and revising the plans and specs prepared by KDF. We participated in a number of unplanned
conference calls and prepared detailed comments to the plans and specs to reflect the
approved cleanup action and facilitate easy implementation by the contractor.
ADJUSTMENT OF CONTRACT CEILING
Floyd Snider McCarthy, Inc. will be responsible for the above task items at an estimated time
and material cost of $15,050 according to the rate table agreed upon in our existing contract.
This will augment our existing contract maximum of $101,000 to $116,050.
Please note that the cost estimates for each of the above scope items are based upon
professional judgment and experience with projects of similar complexity and scope. Even so,
please note that these are estimates only and subject to change due to unexpected site
conditions, extent of regulatory involvement, and other variables typical of environmental
projects.

RE: Contract Modification #1 to Service Agreement 2001-04, dated 2/1/01.
Dear Chris,
At your request, we are pleased to provide you with this contract modification to the existing
contract referenced above for environmental services related to cleanup and development of
Kissel Park. This proposal amends our initial proposal letter of January 11th 2001 by including
additional scope for work following completion of the Cleanup Action Plan. The scope of the
original contract did not include work elements beyond the Cleanup Action Plan. With the
exception of Item 1, which is 100% reimbursable, all of the below task items are eligible for 75%
reimbursement from the city's grant with the local Ecology Toxics Account
1. Increase by $3,000 (to a total of $28,000) the budget of the pilot test task scoped out
in our original contract. The increase is to pay for additional laboratory analysis
requested by Ecology. This work was performed under a Memorandum of
Agreement between the city and Ecology, in which Ecology has agreed to fund in its
entirety.
2. Work with Ecology, the city, the park architect and civil engineer to blend the
necessary cleanup elements such as storm water retention, irrigation, grading,
capping, etc. into the park design. This will involve discussions with all parties to
make sure that the elements of the cleanup action plan are designed to fulfill their
objectives, as well as review of the design drawings and bid documents. Estimated
cost: $8,850.
3. Assist the City in preparing the follow up remedial action grant application. This will
involve preparing the grant application, reviewing the costs, and working with the
Grant Specialist at Ecology to ensure that the grant is being processed. Estimated
Cost: $1,600.
4. Attending a project meeting in Yakima on April 30th, 2001 to discuss the draft
Cleanup Action Plan, as well as attending a public meeting (if requested) on the
Cleanup Action Plan in May 2001. Estimated Cost: $2,500.
5. Develop a Maintenance Plan. This plan will cover how the city will handle
contaminated soil when performing subsurface work at the park as well as

inspecting and maintaining the soil cover, turf, and paved areas. Estimated Cost:
$2,400.
6. Collection and Analysis of Additional Soil Samples. Collection and analysis of five
soil samples was necessary to see if the excavation depth in Area 3 could be
reduced from 2 feet to 1.5 feet. Estimated Cost: $1,000.
7. Construction Support and Confirmation Sampling. During construction, we will
provide support, as necessary, to the contractor and field inspector to ensure that
the elements of the cleanup action plan are constructed or implemented as
designed. We will also collect confirmation samples from tilled/excavated areas to
document that the cleanup levels are achieved. Estimated Cost: $6,600.
8. Final Documentation: This will involve preparation of a brief summary report of
approximately 15 pages to document that the cleanup objectives of Kissel Park were
achieved. This will include several pages of text followed by copies of field Togs, site
photographs, and soil sample analytical results. Estimated Cost: $2,050
Floyd & Snider Inc. will be responsible for the above task items at an estimated time and
material cost of $28,000 according to the rate table agreed upon in our existing contract. This
will augment our existing contract maximum of $73,000 to $101,000. However, of this amount,
$28,000 is for performing the deep tilling pilot test. As mentioned above, the Department of
Ecology is funding the pilot test in its entirety, with no matching funds coming from the city. The
city will receive $28,000 from Ecology to pay the invoice for the pilot test. Therefore, the total
budget amount responsible for 75% matching funds will now be $78,000.
Please note that our cost estimates given for each of the above scope items are based upon
professional judgment and experience with projects of similar complexity and scope. Even so,
please note that these are estimates only and subject to change due to unexpected site
conditions, extent of regulatory involvement, and other variables typical of environmental
projects.

possession and knowledge that relate to the identity, location, quantity, nature or characteristics of any hazardous materials
associated with the Project. Client understands and agrees that Floyd & Snider has had no role in handling, generating,
treating, storing, transporting or disposing of such hazardous materials prior to providing services for the Project. If, as
part of its services, Floyd & Snider disposes of or treats any hazardous materials, Client recognizes and agrees that Floyd
& Snider is acting as a bailee and at no time assumes ownership of, or title to, such materials.

professional standards or the level of care and skill exercised by professional consultants and engineers in the same locale
under similar circumstances and time periods. No warranty or representation, either express or implied, is included or
intended in Floyd & Snider's proposals, contracts, reports, and communications. Floyd & Snider's interpretations and
recommendations will be based solely on information made available to Floyd & Snider by Client or by the results of
borings, surveys or other explorations performed by Floyd & Snider. Client recognizes that subsurface conditions
elsewhere at the Project may differ from those at the exploration locations and that conditions may change over time.
INDEMNIFICATION. Client and Floyd & Snider each agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other (along
with the other's officers, directors, employees, consultants and subcontractors) against all claims, damages, losses and
expenses, whether direct, indirect or consequential, including, but not limited to attorneys' fees and costs on arbitration,
trial or appeal, caused by or arising out of negligence of the indemnifying party, to the extent that the claim, loss, damages
C:\TEMP\Service Agmt with T C.doc
Page 2 of 4 Rev. 1/98
or expense is caused by that party's sole or concurrent negligence. In no event shall a party be required to indemnify the
other against the other's sole negligence.

Payment is due upon presentation of invoice and is past -due thirty days from invoice date. Client agrees to pay a late
payment charge of one and one-half percent per month on past -due accounts. Failure to pay invoices in a timely manner is
a substantial breach of a material term of the parties' agreement, and payment of late charges does not excuse Client's
failure to pay. Any attorneys' fees or other costs incurred by Floyd & Snider in collecting any delinquent amount shall be
paid by Client.
TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated without cause by either party upon fifteen days written notice or if
Client suspends the work for more than three months. Floyd & Snider may suspend or terminate services if Client fails to

substantially prevailing party shall be awarded its reasonable costs incurred, including staff time at current billing rates
court costs, expert witness fees, attorney's fees upon trial, arbitration or appeal, collection or lien fees, late payment charges
and interest, and other claim related expenses. Venue for any litigation shall be the Superior Court of King County, in the

Nothing stated herein shall preclude the parties from later agreeing, in writing, to submit any dispute to arbitration or other
alternative dispute resolution procedure.
ASSIGNMENT/SUBCONTRACTING. Neither Client nor Floyd & Snider shall assign this Agreement to any other
person or entity without the express, written consent of the other, which consent may be withheld for any reason. Subject
to the foregoing restrictions on assignment, the Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
parties and their respective successors and assigns. Floyd & Snider may enter one or more subcontracts for the
performance of some of the services undertaken by Floyd & Snider under the terms of this Agreement, provided that Floyd
& Snider is ultimately liable for ensuring all work under this Agreement is conducted in a manner consistent with the level
of care and skill exercised by professional engineers or consultants in the same locale under similar circumstances and time
periods.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Third Parties. Nothing stated herein shall create a contractual relationship with or cause of action in favor of any person or
entity not a party hereto. There are no intended third party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and there shall be no incidental
third party beneficiaries.

Mr. Christopher Waarvick
Public Works Director, City of Yakima
2301 Fruitvale Blvd.
Yakima, WA 98902
Dear Chris,
At your request, we are pleased to provide you with this revised proposal for technical services
related to cleanup and development of the Kissel parcel as a City park. This proposal revises
our earlier proposal letter of December 7th, 2000 by including the estimated costs for performing
the fieldwork at Kissel Park. Floyd & Snider Inc. is an environmental consulting firm in Seattle,
Washington that specializes in strategy and technical solutions for contaminated properties. We
will work with Preston Gates & Ellis to achieve the following:
1. Work with the Department of Ecology in developing a cleanup action plan that
integrates the cleanup remedy (e.g. capping) into the overall park development,
thereby reducing the overall cost of the project from what it would otherwise be if
cleanup and redevelopment were implemented separately from each other.
2. Assist the City in obtaining Ecology remedial action grant funding, thereby reducing
the expense to the City in implementing the cleanup.
3. Performing the fieldwork necessary to develop a cleanup action plan.
4. Performing a field pilot study of various remedial technologies in concert with the
Department of Ecology
To achieve this result, we have already met with Ecology staff to discuss the project and
submitted a draft work plan for remedial investigation. To be completed items include
performing the remedial investigation, developing a cleanup action plan consistent with the park
design, assisting Preston Gates & Ellis in the development of an agreed order with Ecology, and
preparing the remedial action grant application. The level of our effort would be that required to
obtain Ecology grant funding and meet all applicable Ecology assessment and cleanup
requirements.
Specific Scope of Services:
Floyd & Snider Inc. will be responsible for the following at an estimated cost of $73,000. A
breakdown of this total into tasks based on the attached rate table is quoted below.

EXHIBIT A Floyd & Snider Inc.
• Site visit, along with arranging a meeting with Ecology ($1,200)
• Supplemental meeting to discuss details of project integration (permit, scheduling,
design) details with the park architect and City Parks personnel ($1,200)
• Assistance in applying for grant funding; support for the development of an agreed
order; and overall strategy ($2,500)
• Development of a focused Work Plan for soil sampling (approx. 5-6 pages, 1 figure) for
a Site Investigation ($2,000)
• Performing the fieldwork (limited to soil sampling) as specified in the work plan. To
save costs, we plan on subcontracting with a qualified local contractor, but to ensure
quality, be onsite for the first 2 days. This task includes all analytical laboratory and
subcontractor fees as shown in the attached cost breakdown as well as administrative
costs for subcontractor selection/coordination, and development of a health and safety
plan ($30,000- see attached cost breakdown)
• Interpretation of the data and development of site-specific remediation levels per the
revised MTCA ($1,500)
• Performing a pilot study of new remediation techniques for lead -arsenate sites such as
Kissel Park. The pilot study planning would be jointly developed with the Department of
Ecology but executed by us. By having the City perform the pilot study, Ecology has
informed us that the percentage of Ecology reimbursement for the entire project would
increase to 90% from the current limit of 75% ($25,000).
• Development of a Draft and Final Cleanup Action Plan (25-30 pages) including a limited
analysis of 2-3 preferred remedial alternatives preparing with input from the park
architect (e.g.- dig and haul, capping, stabilization) along with first order cost estimates
for each alternative ($7,600).
• Technical representation at one public presentation ($2,000)
Please note what is not included in the above costs. Development of bid documents,
construction or engineering plans and specifications as well as detailed cost estimates are not
included, nor are other documents that may be required such as a compliance monitoring plan,
or quality assurance plan, etc., which may be required by Ecology.
Our cost estimates given for each of the above scope items are based upon professional
judgment and experience with projects of similar complexity and scope. They are also based
upon the assumption that there will be a cooperative working environment with the regulatory
agencies involved. Even so, please note that these are estimates only and subject to change
due to unexpected site conditions, extent of regulatory involvement, and other variables typical
of environmental projects.

Resolution adopted. Resolution No. R-2001-8
In the process of preparing for Kissel Park development, it was discovered that the underlying
soil contained threshold or near threshold levels of lead and arsenic. Lead arsenate was a
common pesticide in the control of orchard pests in the early 1900's. It is likely that these
atomic elements are to be found widespread throughout the historical fruit growing areas of
eastern Washington. This consultant agreement with Floyd and Snider Inc. of Seattle
formalizes their role in assisting the City in developing a remediation plan acceptable to the
Department of Ecology (Ecology) and in applying for Local Toxics grant funding to cover a I I
eligible costs in the project. Our discussions to date with Ecology have been very
encouraging and very helpful. They have stated that they are looking for a pilot project to
fund which would address the issue of lead arsenate contamination in eastern Washington.
Staff's most recent discussion with Floyd and Snider indicates that 90% of the costs
associated with the remediation of the property are slated for reimbursement from Ecology.
The three major areas of Floyd and Snider's assistance are: (1) working with Ecology in
developing a cleanup action plan that integrates the cleanup remedy into the overall park
development; (2) assisting the City in obtaining Ecology remedial action grant funding; and
(3) performing the fieldwork necessary to develop a cleanup action plan.
We have used Preston Gates and Ellis to get us "jump started" on this process. Ray Paolella,
City Attorney, has been involved from the beginning because of his and his offices' expertise
on the matter and to contain legal costs. The first formal step with Ecology has been
accomplished -- that being notifying them of the soil contamination. We have worked closely
with the local architects charged with designing the park (KDF) so that eligible expenses will
be clearly identifiable when reimbursement is requested from Ecology.
We have developed an aggressive project schedule to lead us to construction in the summer
of 2001. We have yet, at legal counsels advice, taken the park development through the
required Class III review by Phil Lamb, Hearing Examiner. This is expected to occur in early
2001 when we have a clearer and more concise picture of the development requirements at
Kissel Park. After the Hearing Examiner's work is completed and a decision rendered, the
matter may or may not come back before City Council depending on Councils' wishes on the
matter and if any public appeal of the Hearing Examiners decision comes forth.
Please do not hesitate to contact any of the City staff involved in this project with questions,
concerns or comments.
