Re:

Proposal —Provision of an Environmental Monitor
Former General Motors Tarrytown Assembly Plant

Dear Mr. Douglas:
Roux Associates, Inc. (Roux Associates) is pleased to present the Village of Sleepy
Hollow (VSH), New York with our proposal for providing an environmental monitor to
observe and document the progress of the Interim Remedial Measures (IRJVls) at the
former General Motors (GM) Tarrytown Assembly plant.
Presented below is a
description of our proposed scope of services and a cost proposal.
Scope of Services

I

Task 1: Provide an Environmental Monitor
Roux Associates will provide an environmental monitor to observe and document the
progress of the IRM implementation that is to be conducted by GM's consultants and
contractors at the former Assembly Plant. The monitor's general role will be to work
with and supplement the VSH Building Department staff and report on the contractor's
adherence to the provisions of the Village's permit requirements and Planning Board's
Findings. The monitor's duties will include but not be limited to the following:
•

Document all offsite shipments of contaminated soil and other materials.

•

Observe implementation of the Community Air Monitoring Program (CAMP)
including the quantitative measurements of all monitoring devices.

•

Observe and photodocument the placement of the demarcation barrier in all
remedial excavations.

•

Review clean fill documentation as the material enters the site prior to placement.

•

Report on a periodic basis to VSH Building Department personnel on all aspects
of the remediation. The frequency of the reporting will be determined by VSH.

�Mr. Dwight Douglas
June 22, 2007
Page 2

The duties of the Roux Associates' monitor will be flexible and responsive to the needs of
the Village Building Department and VSH administration.
Task 2 Project Reporting
The Roux Associates personnel (the monitor and/or Craig Werle, as requested) will
report on the status of the remediation to the Village Trustees and the Citizens Committee
on a schedule to be determined by the Village. Written summaries will be prepared
documenting all site activities based on the needs of the Village
Project Staffing
Roux Associates proposes to staff the position of the environmental monitor with Frank
Amorosana. Mr. Amorosana is a staff geologist with over one year in experience on
projects that are directly relevant to the Sleepy Hollow monitor assignment. For the last
six months he has been working at a site in Rego Park, New York, monitoring the
excavation of over 200,000 cubic yards of lead-contaminated soils for a major developer.
He is thoroughly familiar with the daily operations of large soil remediation projects.
Mr. Amorosana graduated with a BS in Geology from Binghamton University in 2006.
Mr. Amorosana lives in New Rochelle, New York.
Project Schedule
Roux Associates will begin monitoring duties when requested by VSH. Our staffing will
be flexible and will be tailored to the needs of the Village. Roux Associates will continue
to provide an environmental monitor throughout the active phase of the remediation as
requested by the Village. Our expectation is that this assignment will have a duration of
three to four months and will begin in early July.
Project Costs
Roux Associates proposes to work on this assignment on a time and material basis
because it is not possible to accurately estimate the time that will be spent on this
assignment. The hourly rates of key individuals are as follows:
.

Craig A. Werle, P.G.

•

Frank Amorosana

$190/hour
$90/hour

Invoices will be submitted monthly with payment expected within 30 days. The
performance of sendees by Roux Associates, Inc. shail be governed by the Roux
Associates, Inc. Client Agreement previously executed with the Village of Sleepy Hollow
on March 4, 2005.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, please indicate your agreement
authorized Village official sign a copy of this proposal in the space
returning to the undersigned an executed copy of this proposal. Upon
acceptance copy, Roux Associates, Inc. will commence the performance
described in this proposal.
