GSA CONTRACT #GS-10F-0201N

Introduction and Company Background

ARM Environmental Services, Inc. (ARM) appreciates the opportunity to submit these qualifications to the Federal Government. Because of the Federal Governments size and varied operating locations, we expect that a range of environmental requirements affects your business and that continual needs arise for external assistance. We hope that this Statement of Qualifications demonstrates that ARM has suitable service lines, technical qualifications, geographic fit, and economic considerations to match The Federal Government’s requirements for an Agreement for Environmental Consulting Services. ARM approaches projects with an uncommonly unified and versatile team and meets regulatory and technical challenges with economical, effective, and timely solutions. We believe that such strengths in our business will translate into effective assistance to Environmental Management at Government locations.

Quality

ARM personnel specialize in conducting due diligence environmental assessments of governmental, commercial, industrial and residential properties. These assessments provide a thorough evaluation of environmental conditions and are designed to minimize client liability and development delays. In particular, conditions which are environmentally sensitive or are considered potential sources of soil or groundwater contamination can play a major role in real estate considerations, including site selection, project design, and other aspects of project development. Typical initial environmental assessment services related to due diligence include:

➢ Environmental Transaction Screen (ASTM Standard E-1528)

➢ Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ASTM Standard E-1527)

➢ Phase I Environmental Site Assessment to specific client requirements

➢ Phase II Environmental Site Assessment

➢ HUD Environmental Assessments (HUD Form 4128)

➢ Highway Corridor Assessments

➢ Environmental Assessments and Environmental Impact Statements (Per NEPA

Requirements)

ARM personnel have conducted environmental site assessments on over 2,500 properties in

South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia.

Findings of potential adverse environmental conditions encountered during Phase I Environmental

Site Assessments (ESAs) often result in the client needing additional information to quantify environmental liability. Because of our experience with the range of subsurface impact conditions and regulations that affect each type of impact, ARM can design the scope for Phase II ESAs that accurately assesses potential subsurface environmental liability. These Phase II assessments may consist of the collection of soil and/or ground water samples to evaluate the potential impact to proposed right-of-way areas. ARM maintains staff and equipment suitable for a wide range of subsurface assessment work, including two Geoprobe soil probing machines

(one truck mounted and one track mounted), a CME 55 drill rig and a Mobile B-57 drill rig.

ARM also provides a range of environmental services designed to fulfill environmental documentation requirements under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) . Services typically offered for such projects as highway corridor assessments include studies of impacts related to hazardous materials, underground storage tanks (USTs), wetlands, and endangered species. ARM has conducted hazardous material assessments, threatened and endangered species and wetland analyses on over thirty highway corridors or proposed alternative right-of-way areas. The highway corridor assessments are designed for inclusion in NEPA Environmental Assessments (EA) and Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) and typically involve the analysis of several alternative alignments for new highway construction, and the documentation of the various environmental impacts inherent in each alternative design. This work has been completed for various highway design firms such as Wilbur Smith Associates and The LPA Group. Presently, ARM provides these services for the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) on an “on-call” basis.

One recently completed EA was conducted for the South Carolina Army National Guard

(SCARNG). The SCARNG 43rd Civil Support Team – Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)

Unit demonstrated a need for a new facility. The Environmental Assessment was designed to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of several possible alternatives, including the “No Action Alternative”, and several new construction sites. The EA included an evaluation of several potential environmental impacts including natural resource, wetland, land use, and cultural resource impacts. The evaluation of each potential impact was accomplished through research of available resources regarding the affected environment, information available from state and federal regulatory agencies, and direct coordination / communication with state and federal regulatory agencies.

Asbestos fibers, when released into the atmosphere, have several documented adverse health effects, and some building materials manufactured before approximately 1981 contained asbestos for purposes of binding the materials, as a fire retardant, or for both effects. Several ARM personnel have asbestos inspector certifications, and ARM provides project management, including regulatory coordination, abatement supervision and air monitoring on construction and asbestos abatement projects. ARM encounters asbestos containing materials (ACM) in the course of common work scopes, and ARM conducts the following services associated with ACM:

➢ Baseline ACM surveys for buildings during Phase I ESAs;

➢ Building demolition or remodeling with surveys appropriate to the work that should be performed;

➢ Surveys for schools and other public buildings based on specific regulations;

➢ Surveys of bridges prior to sandblasting and re-coating with new paint;

➢ Project management and oversight associated with the preceding projects.

ARM personnel are trained by the Medical University of South Carolina, and licensed by the

South Carolina Department of Health & Environmental Control (DHEC) to inspect buildings for the presence of ACM.

Lead paint surveys constitute a natural extension of the lead abatement and coatings work.

ARM conducts lead paint surveys when requested during performance of a Phase I ESA.

Structures scheduled for coatings often require a lead paint survey prior to removal of old paint layers, so that the waste material blasted from the structure is properly managed.

As with the overlap in lead services, ARM's asbestos experience has resulted in overlap into performance of indoor air quality surveying. The air monitoring associated with asbestos abatement provided an entry-level service, and now ARM personnel have conducted air monitoring for other conditions, including volatile organic compounds, metals, mold, particulates, and asbestos in settings other than asbestos abatement. ARM can conduct air monitoring for evaluation of environmental conditions associated with the following settings:

➢ Buildings with limited or engineered outside ventilation where health complaints have been documented;

➢ Buildings with apparently inappropriate humidity conditions;

➢ Industrial or commercial settings when new processes are implemented or where worker health is a concern; and

➢ Construction or renovation projects where dust or disturbance of potentially hazardous materials is occurring.

Conducting proper air monitoring requires application of knowledge regarding the operation of air handling equipment and measurements of ambient air conditions such as flow, humidity, and temperature. ARM personnel who perform air monitoring typically have had air-monitoring training for asbestos abatement work and/or have obtained on-the-job training from experienced indoor air quality personnel.

SIN 562910REM Environmental Remediation Services

Environmental Construction Management

ARM has conducted remediation services at numerous sites in the southeastern United States.

These projects have included soil and ground water remediation of various contaminants such as chlorinated solvents and petroleum hydrocarbons. Ground water remediation has been accomplished through innovative technologies such as the injection of remedial compounds to enhance biological degradation. Soil remedial projects have included the delineation of contaminated soils and the excavation, transportation and disposal of these compounds at regulated facilities.

ARM has also coordinated and managed the removal and proper disposal of many underground storage tanks (USTs) and above ground storage tanks (ASTs) throughout South Carolina.

Underground storage tanks are a common concern along areas of soon to be expanded highway right of way, and in fact are often discovered during various roadway construction activities. ARM maintains the ability to quickly coordinate and assess all UST removal activities in order to insure that the SCDOT remains in compliance with applicable UST regulations and closure guidelines, while minimizing potential project delays.

Another typical remediation service provided to the SCDOT, as well as various other clients, is the assessment, characterization and removal of contaminated soils. Contaminated soils are often an issue for the SCDOT when USTs are discovered during roadway construction activities. In conjunction with the UST removal ARM also routinely provides for the characterization and disposal of these contaminated soils so that the construction activities may continue. In many cases ARM will also provide on-site delineation of contaminated soils during construction activities so that the soil can be removed preferentially from those areas where the construction (i.e. utility line installation) is occurring. On other sites ARM often performs subsurface assessments (utilizing a Geoprobe or drill rig) for soil contamination in order to assess the potential for the soil contamination to pose a significant environmental or health concern and/or to assess the potential for contaminant migration to the underlying ground water.
