(Matrix) is pleased to present this proposal to conduct a test pit investigation in an effort to confirm the presence/absence of an underground storage tank (UST) possibly identified during the geophysical investigation for the above-referenced property. The 0.3-acre vacant property was a former Exxon retail gasoline station (Program Interest No. 007904) that is presently owned by 665 Realty Management, LLC. Matrix contracted GPR One Call to conduct a geophysical investigation of the above-referenced property to assess the potential presence of an UST. One anomaly was identified in the area under the sidewalk along Eagle Rock Avenue at an estimated depth of 2 feet below ground surface. A review of historic and current site plans depict piping runs, identified as “unknown”, also relating to the area of the anomaly. SCOPE OF WORK AND COST To determine the presence/absence of the UST, Matrix recommends the removal of the concrete sidewalk and soil to approximately 2 feet below ground surface in the area of the identified anomaly to observe the top of the UST, if found. Matrix understands the test pit will be advanced using Township of West

soil to approximately 2 feet below ground surface in the area of the identified anomaly to observe the top of the UST, if found. Matrix understands the test pit will be advanced using Township of West Orange equipment and operator under the direction of Matrix field personnel. The field work will be completed in half a day. The results of the investigation will be summarized in a brief memorandum. Matrix will conduct these activities on a fixed fee cost basis in accordance with the attached Terms and Conditions (previously revised for the Township of West Orange) (Attachment 1). This proposal is based on the following assumptions: • Costs are for 4 hours of Matrix field personnel; • Access to the property will be provided by others; • The Township of West Orange will obtain all required permits; F:\2017\17-362 Township of West Orange - 665 Eagle Rock Avenue\Proposal\Test Pits_ Geophysical Invest\Test-pit_ Invest_Proposal_Eagle Rock Ave.doc
