NOTICE TO CONTRACTOR � ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS

An environmental site investigation was conducted that included the sampling and laboratory analysis of soil collected from various locations and depths within the Project limits. Results of the environmental investigations indicated the following within the Project limits:

• Semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) and pesticides at concentrations exceeding the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CTDEEP)

Remediation Standard Regulations (RSRs) numeric criteria in the soil.

Based on the findings of the environmental investigation, five (5) Areas of Environmental

Concern (AOECs) exist within the Project limits. The Contractor is hereby notified that

Controlled Material (soil) within the AOECs will require special management and/or disposal procedures. Pavement structures, concrete, and subbase are not considered Controlled Material.

All suitable Controlled Material excavated from the AOECs may be reused within the AOECs, as determined by the Engineer. Controlled Material excavated from an AOEC that is to be reused may be temporarily stockpiled adjacent to the excavation for immediate reuse. Controlled

Material excavated from an AOEC that is to be reused at a later date must be transported to a temporary stockpile location, as shown on Project plans, or an alternate location acceptable to the

Engineer. Only the volume of soil that is reasonably estimated to be reused may be stockpiled in this way.

Excess Controlled Material excavated from the Project that cannot be reused will require off-site disposal and shall be loaded directly into vehicles for immediate transport to the Contractor-selected disposal facility.

Contractor Take Note: In-situ waste characterization of the Controlled Material will be completed by the Engineer prior to the start of any excavation work. The Engineer will provide the Contractor with the waste characterization analytical data. Before beginning excavation, the

Contractor shall utilize the waste characterization analytical data to obtain acceptance of the

Controlled Material for disposal at the facility selected by the Contractor from the list of approved facilities provided in Item No. 0202315A � Disposal of Controlled Materials. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to verify that a facility will be available and capable of handling the volume as well as the chemical and physical characteristics of material generated by the Project. If the contractor is unable to direct load controlled materials for disposal, any resulting cost associated with such failure will not be considered as a changed condition.

The CTDEEP groundwater classification for the project area is GA. Groundwater was not encountered during the environmental investigation.

The Contractor will be required to implement appropriate health and safety measures for all construction activities to be performed within the AOECs. These measures shall include, but are not limited to, air monitoring, engineering controls, personal protective equipment, decontamination, and personnel training. WORKER HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS

WHICH ADDRESS POTENTIAL AND/OR ACTUAL RISK OF EXPOSURE TO SITE

SPECIFIC HAZARDS ARE SOLELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR.

The Specifications which shall be reviewed by the Contractor include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Item No. 0101000A � Environmental Health and Safety

• Item No. 0202315A � Disposal of Controlled Materials

A City of Meriden environmental consultant will be on-site to oversee excavation activities and site conditions within the AOECs and to collect soil and/or groundwater samples (if necessary).

Information pertaining to the results of the environmental investigation can be found in the document listed below and shall be available for review electronically. The results contained in the environmental investigation report listed below show levels of various contaminants that the

Contractor may encounter during construction. Actual levels found during construction may vary and such variations will not be considered a change in condition provided the material can still be disposed as non-hazardous at one or more of the disposal facilities listed in Item No.

ITEM NO. 0101000A - ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

Description:

Under this Item, the Contractor shall establish protocols and provide procedures to protect the health and safety of its employees and subcontractors as related to the proposed construction activities performed within the Areas of Environmental Concern (AOECs). Work under this

Item consists of the development and implementation of a written site-specific Health and Safety

Plan (HASP) that addresses the relative risk of exposure to documented hazards present within the Project limits. The HASP shall establish health and safety protocols that address the relative risk of exposure to regulated substances in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120 and 29 CFR

1926.65. Such protocols shall only address those concerns directly related to site conditions.

Note: The Engineer will prepare a site-specific health and safety plan which is compatible with the Contractor�s plan and will be responsible for the health and safety of all Project Inspectors, City employees, and consulting engineers.

Materials:

The Contractor must provide chemical protective clothing (CPC) and personal protective equipment (PPE) as stipulated in the Contractor�s HASP during the performance of work in areas identified as potentially posing a risk to worker health and safety for workers employed by the

Contractor and all subcontractors.

Construction Methods:

1-Existing Information: The Contractor shall utilize all available information and existing records and data pertaining to chemical and physical hazards associated with any of the regulated substances identified in the environmental site investigations to develop the HASP. A list of documents containing this data is found in �Notice to Contractor � Environmental

Investigations�.

2-General: The requirements set forth herein pertain to the provision of workers� health and safety as it relates to proposed Project activities when performed in the presence of hazardous or regulated materials or otherwise environmentally sensitive conditions. THE PROVISION OF

WORKER HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS WHICH ADDRESS POTENTIAL AND/

OR ACTUAL RISK OF EXPOSURE TO SITE SPECIFIC HAZARDS POSED TO

CONTRACTOR EMPLOYEES IS SOLELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE

CONTRACTOR.

The Contractor shall be responsible for the development, implementation, and oversight of the

HASP throughout the performance of work within the limits of the AOECs, as identified in the

Contract Documents, and in other areas identified by the Engineer, where site conditions may pose a risk to worker health and safety and/or the environment. No physical aspects of the work within the AOECs shall begin until the HASP is reviewed by the Engineer and is determined to meet the requirements of the specifications. However, the Contract time, in accordance with Article 1.03.08, will begin on the date stipulated in the Notice to Proceed.

3-Regulatory Requirements: All construction related activities performed by the Contractor within the limits of the AOECs, or in other areas where site conditions may pose a risk to worker health and safety and/or the environment, shall be performed in conformance with 29 CFR 1926, Safety and Health Regulations for Construction and 29 CFR 1910, Safety and Health

Regulations for General Industry. Conformance to 29 CFR 1910.120, Hazardous Waste Site

Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) may also be required, where appropriate.

4-Submittals: Three copies of the HASP shall be submitted to the Engineer within four (4) weeks after the Award of Contract or four (4) weeks prior to the start of any work in the AOECs, but not before the Award of the Contract. The HASP shall include copies of the Contractor-designated Health and Safety Officer�s (HSO) training certificates as well as a demonstration of the required experience, as indicated in Section 5-HASP Provisions (b) (iii) of this Item.
