RE: APPROVAL OF CONTRACTOR FOR LEAD TESTING AND RISK
ASSESSMENT SERVICES
On September 15, 2000, new federal regulations took effect to help reduce the
hazard of lead -based paint in the environment. These regulations affect
programs offered by the City of Rosemead that are funded through HOME and
the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs. Specifically, these
regulations affect the Residential Rehabilitation Program and the Mortgage
Assistance Program.
As part of the requirements, the City needs to conduct lead testing and risk
assessments for properties that are participating in the City's rehabilitation
programs and must conduct clearance tests of HOME purchased properties
where peeling paint has been identified and must be remediated. Accordingly,
the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to qualified firms to conduct lead
testing, risk assessment and clearance testing in accordance with federal
requirements. The contract period is for a maximum of three (3) years, beginning
in FY 2004 -2005.

3 working days from the completion of the clearance inspection.
13. Hourly Rates (only if requested)
Hourly rates typically do not apple to lead inspections or clearance testing. The above pricing listed in
section 12 includes all services as described and do not require any hourly fees.
Schedule of Standard Hourly Rates Per the RFP:
• Certified Inspector/Risk Assessor $ 65 /hour (4 hour minimum)
• XRF Cost $ 65.00 /site
Additionally, Barr & Clark can monitor an abatement project (if necessary and requested). The rates
for lead project monitoring are as follows:
• Certified Project Monitor $ 65 /hour (4 hour minimum)
• Certified Project Monitor /Principal S 85 /hour (4 hour nsinimwn)
Please keep in mind that on -site monitoring is not required and usually not necessary. A quality,
experienced lead abatement contractor should not need constant monitoring. Final clearance testing
will determine ifproper abatement methods and cleanup procedures were followed.
14. Federal Certifications
California's DHS Lead -Based Paint Inspector /Risk Assessor, Project Designer, and Project Monitor
requirements for certification are much more stringent than the federal certification. Thus, Federal
certification is not applicable. However, our Lead -Based Paint hnspector/Risk Assessors, Project
Designers, and Project Monitors have complete a 40 -hour, EPA approved training course.

Executive Summary
Executive Environmental Services Corporation (EESC) began in 1989. EESC has its principal
operations office in South Pasadena, California, from which this project will be staffed. Since its
foundation over fifteen years ago, EESC has expanded to its present organizational format of
approximately 30 administrative and technical staff personnel providing hazardous materials
abatement planning and monitoring.
EESC owners, Ed Kennedy and Daniel Ginsborg, began Environmental consulting in 1982 and
1985, respectively. Mr. Kennedy was employed with the Los Angeles Unified School District
when the EPA required that asbestos inspections be conducted in all schools in 1982. He was
responsible for asbestos inspections and abatement in approximately 120 schools.
Mr. Ginsborg began working with Hall Kimbrell Environmental Services, a national company of
which Mr. Kennedy was the West Coast Region Manager, and went on to obtain his Certified
Industrial Hygienist (CIH) certification and directed approximately 140 loss control
representatives and safety managers for the State Compensation Fund. Each has extensive
experience in developing and managing abatement of hazardous materials in buildings.
Additionally, the company has attracted highly qualified professionals with extensive experience.
Mr. Jeff Hough, whose engineering abilities and 15 years of hazardous materials experience
have helped EESC to develop detailed and complete project designs and Rob Hill, whose 27
years of health and safety experience in the U.S. Air Force, plus 14 years of environmental
consulting since retiring from the Air Force, as well as our complete staff, meet the needs of all
clients whom we serve.
Of over 370 school districts, the El Monte Unified School District, El Segundo Unified School
District, Lawndale Unified School District, Walnut Unified School District, Buena Park Unified
School District, Paramount Unified School District, Pomona Unified School District and
Huntington Beach Unified School Districts are just a few of the school districts with whom we
are currently working. Also, Lynwood, Monrovia, Sierra Madre, Accelerated Charter School,
Bassett, Magnolia, Archer Girls School, Fountain Valley, Chino Valley, Hermosa Beach,
Rosemead, and Pasadena School Districts are a few of the school districts for whom EESC has

presented in the RFP provided by the City of Rosemead, California, to include, Risk

Plan for the Provision of Services
9.1 Technical Operating Procedures
At Executive Environmental Services Corporation (EESC) every client is important. We promote
the "firm concept" whereby the clients are served by the firm but have the attention of an
individual. This enables us to better serve our clients by allocating our staff resources in the
most effective manner. We are large enough to have staffing and resources to service all of
your needs, but small enough to provide timely personal service. We continually strive to
produce work that is of the highest quality.
With regard to the City's needs, as indicated in the RFP, EESC will complete the lead testing
using an approved spectrum analyzer X -ray Fluorescence Analyzer, or comparable federally
approved testing or sampling technique that meets or exceeds federal requirements
(HUD /EPA). Testing will be completed by a California Certified Inspector using an approved
instrument and that calibration tests were conducted in conformance with requirements and with
the Product Characterization Sheet from the manufacturer.
EESC typically approaches this type of project as follows:
1) Coordinate with the City officials regarding the written list of projects to be inspected
and identify whether testing shall be limited or full and whether it covers exterior
and /or interior surfaces.
2) Review existing site information. Obtain existing site /building drawings and
determine extent of accuracy.
3) Visit sites to field verify drawings, obtain accessible space measurements and room
designations.
4) Prepare site and drawing information into accurate field drawings.
5) Conduct certified site inspections utilizing an X -Ray Fluorescent (XRF) instrument to
sample for lead based paint and lead containing ceramic tile.
6) Process data and complete a written report documenting material descriptions and
locations. If the inspection results equal or exceed the level of .07 milligrams per
centimeter squared, 0.5 percent by weight or 5,000 ppm ( or subsequent action level
adopted by State or federal regulations), EESC will notify the City within 24 -hours of
the test results and address of the project tested.
Executive Environmental Services Corporation - City Of Rosemead
Proposal # 04- 01066 -PO87 - June 17, 2004
RFP Lead Based Paint Testing Services
7) If the inspection results equal or exceed the level of 0.8 milligrams per centimeter
squared, EESC will include a statement in a written report regarding worker safety
protocols as prescribed by the California Occupational Safety and Health Agency.
8) Provide certified project monitors to monitor abatement activities. Complete daily
written logs documenting project occurrences. Collect air samples for lead
particulate analyses by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS).
9) Conduct clearance testing in accordance with federal and state regulations. At a
minimum, EESC will wait one (1) hour before beginning clean -up and the clearance
inspection may not take place until one (1) hour after clean -up has been completed.
Note: Clearance testing will consist of the required dust samples in the interior and
exterior as required under the regulations. Except for soil samples, dust samples
shall not be composite samples. Provide clearance notice for each portion of the
project and a complete written report with a project summary and analytical result.
Executive Environmental Services Corporation uses the services of Forensic Analytical and
Hygeia Environmental Laboratories located in Sierra Madre, California. Both Forensic and
Hygeia Laboratories are NLLAP approved.

2 STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS
A. History
Lead Tech Environmental (LTE) has been in business for 9 years. It was formed in
1993 as an environmental consulting company specializing in lead based paint (LBP).
Initially, it was a subsidiary of the Rochlin Development Group, a Southern California
construction and development firm. Through a personal experience, the firm's former
principal, Mr. Gary Rochlin, became aware of the health threat posed by lead -based paint.
After his daughter was lead poisoned, Mr. Rochlin formed Lead Tech as both a certified
consulting company and a safe and certified lead paint abatement company (never acting
as both on the same project). Having a background in both LBP consulting and
abatement provides the perfect foundation to advise current clients and interact with lead
abatement firms on cost affective lead abatement techniques. Seven years ago, LTE
transitioned to exclusively perform LBP consulting.
After running the company for 6 years, Steven Denzler officially purchased LTE in
October 2002. He is certified in all 4 California Department of Health Services (DHS)
lead based paint disciplines: inspector, contractor supervisor, project monitor and project
designer. He is an invited expert panelist for drafting and refining the California DHS
state exam for lead based paint professionals administered by Cooperative Personnel
Services (initial exam in 1998 and 2002, 2003, 2004 revised exams). He is also an
invited member of the Southern California Health and Housing Council which meets
monthly in Los Angeles to discuss issues related to lead based paint and housing in and
around Southern California.
LTE has conducted over 5,000 lead based paint inspections, 1,000 clearance tests, 1,000
risk assessments, written over 200 lead abatement specifications and monitored over 200
lead abatement jobs. We have extensive experience working with housing departments
utilizing CDBG, Home loans, Section 8 Housing Funds and complying with Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requirements. LTE was one of the original
four lead based paint consultants that has been working with the Los Angeles Housing
Department (LARD) and their 8 field offices for the past 8 years. LTE is currently
perfomming lead consulting work pursuant to 24 CFR Part 35 for the following cities:
Temple City, Lynwood, Hawthorne, Pico Rivera, South Gate, Handyman Program City of
Los Angeles, La Mirada, La Puente, El Segundo, Buena Ventura, Lawndale, Walnut,
Calabasas, Agoura Hills, Rancho Palos Verdes, Pomona, Bell, Santa Paula, Fountain
Valley, Ventura County, San Diego Housing Commission, Los Angeles City
Redevelopment Agency and Community Development Commission for County of Los
Angeles (CDC).
B. CAPABILITIES
LTE is a full service lead based paint consulting company that performs LBP XRF
inspections, risk assessments, clearances, abatement monitoring, cost estimates and drafts
abatement design plans /specifications and operations and maintenance plans. LTE is a
boutique company that specializes in lead based paint consulting. Over 90% of our
business involves testing residential structures (primarily singe family residences but also
2
multifamily housing) for lead based paint and providing any additional lead paint services
as needed. LTE has 9 years of experience working for municipal housing and economic
development departments as lead based paint consultants. We are one of the oldest
residential lead based paint consulting companies in Southern California.
Based on our experience working with so many different cities, LTE has also worked
with over 30 construction specialists and we understand that our job is to facilitate the
loan/grant process as efficiently as possible. In general, the construction specialist
provides our office with property address, name and phone number of owner or contact
person and a description of the service requested. If we have any questions about our
scope of work, we will contact the construction specialist prior to scheduling the work.
The more information we have the better (e.g. for a screening, we need to know the scope
of work to determine what painted components might be disturbed; is the loan in excess
of $5,000 which determines if risk assessment is necessary; and is the loan in excess of
525,000 which determines if interim controls of complete abatement is necessary.)
LTE must also work in conjunction with private homeowners that are taking out loans
with municipal housing departments. Occasionally, the owners are confused and wary of
the lead inspection requirement. Prior to scheduling the inspection or clearance test, we
explain the process of using an XRF machine to test the residence, the duration of the
inspection and its purpose. After completing the inspection, we generally summarize our
findings with the homeowner so they have a better understanding. We always try and
accommodate the homeowner when scheduling our visit. We have a bilingual inspector
and bilingual office personnel to schedule the lead work and explain the process to the
home owner or occupant. Note that we only forward copies of our inspection results to
the City as it is our client.
C. QUALIFICATIONS
LTE is uniquely qualified to provide the Scope of Services contained in this RFP because
we have been performing those same services for numerous municipal housing and
economic development departments for the past 8 -9 years. As a result of 24 CRY Part 35,
LTE currently works with about 20 cities that utilize CDBG, HOME funds, Paint Up Fix
Up Grants and other funds that originated from the Department of Housing and Urban
Development. On a daily basis, LTE performs all of the lead consulting tasks contained
in the RFP. We work with City construction specialists, private home owners, lead
abatement contractors and general contractors to perform the following: interpret scope of
work write ups; schedule the lead inspection/screening/risk assessment /clearance of the
residence or apartment unit; perform the lead consulting task; draft the report and provide
recommendations as needed; review abatement plans for clearance testing; and draft
O &M Plans or Abatement Specifications as needed.
Based on our experience working with government agencies, our office is very efficient.
We generally try and schedule the initial assessment or lead inspection within a few days
of receiving the notice to proceed. Upon completion, we will draft and mail the report
within 3 -5 days of performing the assessment. LTE uses 2 calendaring systems to avoid
3
scheduling conflicts. All employees know their work assignments a few days in advance.
If necessary, we can schedule jobs on short notice and work on weekends for rush jobs.
3. STATEMENT OF APPLICANT'S TRAINING /CERTIFICATES
LTE currently has on staff 4 California Department of Health Services certified lead
based paint inspectors /assessors. If our work load necessitates additional inspectors, we
utilize two floating inspectors. Three members of our staff are DHS certified project
monitors and one is also a project designer. A brief professional profile of our staff is
provided below with more in depth resumes and DHS certifications attached hereto in
Attaclunent 1.
1. The Project Manager assigned to this project is Steven Denzler, Lead Tech's President.
He will oversee all work: review all reports, ensure work is scheduled on time and reports
are expeditiously forwarded to the City, interact with City construction specialists
regarding cost effective abatement methods, etc. Prior to purchasing the company, Mr.
Denzler was the operations manager for Lead Tech for the past 6 years. He has
performed over 1000 lead inspections and risk assessments, monitored over 50 abatement
jobs, helped devise efficient lead abatement scopes of work, written over 200 lead
abatement specifications and conducted over 200 clearance tests.
Mr. Denzler has a law degree and is a member of the California State Bar, which provides
him with a strong background to interpret Federal, State and Municipal lead based paint
regulations. He is certified in all 4 California Department of Health Services (DHS) lead
based paint disciplines: inspector /assessor, contractor supervisor, project monitor and
project designer. Mr. Denzler has been DHS certified since 1995. In addition to owning
and running LTE, Mr. Denzler is a silent partner in an EPA certified lead abatement
company in Phoenix, Arizona. As a result, he has a great deal of experience in both lead
consulting and lead abatement which allows him to relate to all parties drafting abatement
plans or monitoring lead abatement projects. He is also an invited expert panelist for
drafting and refining the California DHS State Exam for lead based paint professionals
administered by Cooperative Personnel Services. Mr. Denzler helped revise and draft
questions for the revised California DHS exam for lead abatement contractors in
September 2002, project monitors is 2003 and lead inspectors and contractor supervisors
in 2004. He was also one of the original participants in creating the California DHS
exam for lead inspectors /assessors and project monitors in 1998. He is also an invited
member of the Southern California Health and Housing Council which meets monthly in
Los Angeles to discuss issues related to lead based paint and housing in and around
Southern California.
Mr. Denzler would draft all project designs for lead hazard control or draft all abatement
specifications for lead based paint abatement. Mr. Denzler has drafted over 100
abatement specifications for the Los Angeles Housing Department as well as 75 operation
and management plans for LAHD and the San Diego Housing Commission.
9
2. Ron Livenmore is our primary inspector /assessor for lead based paint inspections and
risk assessments. He is also a certified lead project monitor. He has performed over
1000 lead based paint inspections and risk assessments, conducted over 250 lead paint
clearance tests and monitored about 50 lead based paint abatements. He would perform
most of the actual field work: lead based paint inspections /risk assessments, clearance
testing and project monitoring.
3. Rondel Dodson is another certified lead inspector we occasionally utilize. He has
performed about 400 lead inspections /risk assessments and about 500 lead clearance
inspections. If Ron Livermore in unavailable, Rondel can perform the lead inspections or
clearance tests.
4. Michael Kuretich is one of our project monitors and inspectors and can also act as a
project manager. He has a diversified background in lead based paint consulting and
abatement and has worked in both the private and public sector. Mr. Kuretich has been
DHS lead certified as an inspector /assessor for 10 years. He is also a DHS certified
project monitor. Mr. Kuretich has worked in both the private lead consulting sector with
Barr and Clark Environmental, Allied Environmental Services and currently with Lead
Tech. In addition, lie worked in the public sector administering lead based paint grant
programs for the City of Riverside and City of Long Beach. In this capacity, he
performed and oversaw the inspections of numerous single and multifamily structures,
drafted the abatement plans, reviewed the abatement bids, monitored the lead abatement
and performed clearance testing. In short, he oversaw the lead projects from inception to
completion. He also was the contractor /supervisor for a lead based paint abatement -
company in Phoenix, Arizona. He has monitored over 250 lead abatementjobs and
performed over 1,000 lead inspections.
4. COPIES OF CERTIFICATIONS
All DHS certificates and professional profiles are attached hereto in Attachment 1.
5. PRIOR WORK FOR CITY OF ROSEMEAD
1 do not believe that LTE has ever been retained by the City of Rosemead. However,
LTE's expertise is inspecting residential structures for lead based paint. We currently
work in conjunction with at least 20 municipal housing departments or redevelopment
agencies.
6. REFERENCES
1. LOS ANGELES HOUSING DEPARTMENT (LAHD) 1994 TO PRESENT
LTE has performed lead based consulting work for the LAHD for the past 9 years. In
summary, the LADH faxes us the residence address, owners /tenant's name and phone
number and we schedule the inspection directly with them. Our office explains to the
owner /tenant who we are and what we need to do. We tell them we need access to every
room, explain how long the inspection will take and answer any questions they might
have. All of our inspectors have conducted lead consulting for the LARD. For some of
the field offices, Mr. Denzler provides abatement or interim control estimates for things
5
such as replacing windows, doorjambs, encapsulating building components, paint film
stabilization, etc. Mr. Denzler is a DHS certified lead contractor supervisor and is a silent
partner in a Phoenix lead abatement company. Therefore, he understands abatement
methodologies from both a contractor's perspective and consultants. His abatement
estimates are accurate and provide the LAHD construction specialist with a reliable figure
when soliciting bids from certified lead abatement contractors. LTE's job is to work with
the construction specialist and answer any questions he /she might have or strive to meet
any pressing deadlines.
In working with construction specialists, LTE understands that home owners (Borrowers)
need to repay this money and are not enthusiastic about needing to spend 55,000 to
replace windows when all they wanted to originally do is replace a roof and enlarge a
master bedroom. Therefore,.we try and advise the least intrusive and most cost affective
methods to eliminate any existing lead hazards. On some occasions, we have drafted
operation and maintenance plans for owners that did not want any of their loan funds
paying for lead abatement. For larger jobs, we might monitor the abatement/interim
control project at its inception. Upon completion, we will take clearance samples and
draft a clearance report.
Most of these residential rehabilitation loans are in excess of 525,000. The lead based
paint interim control or abatement cost averages between 53,000- $6,000. In general, the
lead abatement involves encapsulating the wood trim, wood walls, stripping or
encapsulation door components and encapsulating window fi-ames. Tile removal is
another potential cost if the bathroom and kitchen tile require removal.

2. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION (CDC) 1998 TO PRESENT
Over the past two years, LTE has performed over 100 lead based paint inspections, visual
assessments, clearance tests and risk assessments for the CDC. All of these projects
were in the County of Los Angeles in mostly unincorporated cities.
Housing and Rehabilitation Loan Program
About 25 of these projects were for the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program over
525,000. We performed both a lead based paint inspection and risk assessment on single
family homes. Most of the homes were occupied. If we detected lead based paint or
existing lead hazards, we also included a comprehensive abatement plan to eliminate the
lead hazard. Again, we try and advise cost affective methods ,whenever possible.
6
HOP Program
In addition, LTE has performed about 30 visual examinations of interior and exterior
painted surfaces to identify lead based paint hazards for the HOP program. LTE first
performs a visual examination. If we detect any paint in fair or defective condition, LTE
tests those components with our XRF machine to determine if they are lead positive.
When we detect LBP in fair or defective condition, LTE takes a dust wipe or soil sample
adjacent to the component to determine if a lead hazard exists. Our report will contain
interim control or abatement recommendations to eliminate any existing lead hazards.
For this program, LTE needs to work in conjunction with the realtors to schedule the job
and to advise them what is necessary to pass the inspection. To avoid making multiple
visits to the same location, we explain to the realtor what we need to do and advise them
that they should first visually examine the residence and have the residence painted and
properly cleaned prior to our arrival. This saves everyone time and money.

3. CITY OF TEMPLE CITY OCTOBER 2000 TO PRESENT
Pursuant to regulation 24 CFR Part 35 and working with the City of Temple City Housing
Department, LTE has performed about 50 lead inspections and risk assessments. If a loan
exceeds 55,000, LTE only performs a risk assessment if we detect lead in the paint. All
of our lead based paint inspections are for the entire residence and meet the HUD
Guideline protocol. If our inspector did not detect any lead based paint, we will not
perform a risk assessment as it is unnecessary. If LTE detects lead based paint, we take
dust wipe samples in areas near the lead positive paint in defective or fair condition. In
addition, we may take soil samples in areas with visible paint dust or paint chips or near
exterior, lead positive components in fair or defective condition. Subsequent to the
testing, LTE reviewed and helped the construction specialist draft the lead abatement
scopes of work. Most of these jobs involved federal CDBG funds exceeding $5,000 but
less than 525,000. LTE has monitored about 15 lead abatement jobs for Temple City. To
reduce the monitoring costs, LTE advised Mr. McGrath that we only need to arrive at the
abatement job after containment is set up and just before construction begins to confirm
that everyone is on the same page. Therefore, we only monitor for one day. Upon
abatement completion, LTE performs a clearance test and forwards a close out report to
Mr. McGrath.

Department, LTE has inspected for lead based paint about 70 single family residences and
conducted 25 clearance tests. Most of these jobs involved federal CDBG funds of less
than 55,000. We work very closely with Laura Torres (562) 801 -4347. Because the
City's paint up fix up program only involves painting the exterior of the residence, LTE
primarily performs lead paint screenings and some lead hazard screens and charges a
reduced rate to inspect only the areas that will be disturbed rather than the entire
residence.
Contact Person: Michelle Ramirez City of Pico Rivera (562) 801 -4349, PO Box 1016,
6615 Passons Blvd, Pico Rivera, CA 90660.
LTE could easily list numerous other private or municipal clients that have retained our
services for lead paint consulting work (Bell, Hawthorne, Downey, South Gate, etc.)
Basically, LTE has always been a boutique environmental firm specializing in lead based
paint consulting. Our expertise is working in conjunction with municipal agencies,
private home owners, realtors and lead abatement and general contractors. We
understand the concerns of all these parties and do our best to ensure that any lead paint
issues are addressed safely, expeditiously and in as cost affective a mamler as possible.
7. PROOF OF INSURANCE
A copy of our certificate of insurance is attached in Attachment 2. Should LTE be
awarded the contract, we will make any necessary insurance changes.
8. STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING OF THE SCOPE OF WORK
A. Lead -Based Paint Inspection
LTE understands the City of Rosemead's Scope of work in the request for proposal
regarding lead based paint inspections, risk assessments, lead screenings and clearance
testing.
We perform all lead based paint inspections pursuant to the Housing & Urban
Development ( "HUD ") Guidelines For The Evaluation And Control of Lead -Based Paint
Hazards in Housing 1997 edition ( "Guidelines "). Unless instructed otherwise, LTE
inspects and identifies all testing combinations: room equivalents, components, substrates
and paint condition. LTE inspection reports summarize the lead positive components in
an easily readable table. We include with our report copies of the inspector's DHS
certificate, completed XRF calibration sheet, completed DHS form 8552, floor plan and
all field data.
It is no problem to schedule the inspections within 5 days of receiving written request
provided the residents are available. LTE will send two copies of our report.
LTE considers any lead reading equal to or greater than 0.7 mg/cm2 lead positive. LTE
can fax the City a list of all components testing lead positive within 24 hours of
performing the lead inspection. For any components equal to or greater than 0.7 mg/cm
z
LTE will provide a statement on all pertinent regulations dealing with lead based paint
such as CAL -OSHA requirements, Title 22 waste requirements, etc.
Our reports have a specific section detailing cost affective abatement recommendations or
interim controls to eliminate or reduce any existing lead hazards found in the inspected
unit.
B. Risk Assessment
Generally, 24 CFR Part 35 mandates both a Risk Assessment and lead inspection if the
rehabilitation loan exceeds 55,000. A Risk Assessment is defined as an assessment of a
dwelling to check for the presence of lead -based paint hazards. It includes a visual
assessment of dust, soil and paint and a written report of the results. In essence, the risk
assessor tests to see whether the house contains defective paint and or excessive levels of
lead dust on building components such as floors, window sills, window wells or in soil.
Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations Division 1, Chapter 8 mandates stringent
lead dust limits for floors, window sills, window wells and soil: LTE would first conduct
a lead paint inspection. If we detect positive levels of lead based paint, we would visually
examine the residence for visible paint dust and take requisite dust wipe samples. We
will take dust samples as close as possible to lead positive components in defective
condition. In addition, we will take soil samples in bare soil areas and along the
residence's drip line.
To keep costs low, we recommend performing both a lead inspection and risk assessment
at the same time with the results contained in one hybrid report. The report will denote
both the locations of any lead based paint identified during the inspection as well as
identify if any lead hazards exist during the risk assessment. To determine if a lead
hazard exists, LTE takes dust wipe samples and soil samples which we send to a
laboratory accredited by both the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) and
participates in their ELLPAT testing program for AAS analysis. A hybrid lead
inspection/risk assessment (minus the field data to reduce size of proposal) is attached
hereto at Attachment 3.
Please note, if we do not detect any components coated with lead based paint, LTE will
not take dust wipe samples. The risk assessment would not be necessary if the
Residence's interior and exterior do not contain lead based paint.
As part of our risk assessment, we will interview the residents to determine if any
children live in the structure. Based on the children's use patters, location of lead based
paint, condition of the paint and lead dust levels, LTE will make specific
recommendations for either abatement, interim controls, safe work practices, etc
E
The hybrid report I mentioned provides the City with all the information mandated by 24
CFR Part 35 in assessing whether a lead hazard exists or not.
C. Lead Screening Test
Pursuant to 24 CFR Part 35, only the painted surfaces that will be disturbed during the
rehabilitation need to be inspected for lead based paint. Therefore, LTE can limit its
inspection and or risk assessment to only the areas that will be disturbed rather than the
entire residence. This saves both time and money.
LTE would need a copy of the work write up for the residence's rehabilitation project.
We review the general contractor's scope of work and only inspect the areas that will be
disturbed for lead paint. If the loan and or grant exceeds $5,000, LTE will perform a risk
assessment in the areas that will be disturbed as well as a lead paint screening. We
perform lead screenings for the following city housing departments: Downey, Pico
Rivera, Bell, Paramount, La Mirada, El Segundo, Rancho Palos Verdes, Ventura and
Agoura Hills.
D. Lead Paint Clearance Test
LTE conducts clearance testing in accordance with the Housing R Urban Development
( "HUD ") Guidelines For The Evaluation And Control of Lead -Based Paint Hazards in
Housing revised in 1997 ( "HUD Guidelines "). In addition, LTE uses Ghost Wipes for
sampling which meet ASTM El 792 performance requirements. We assign a certified
inspector to perform clearance test that did not perform the actual inspection.
LTE abides by the regulatory lead dust limits for floors, window sills, window wells and
soil samples promulgated it Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations Division 1,
Chapter 8 and The Environmental Protection Agency's Residential Lead Hazard
Standards TSCA Section 403.
The purpose of the Clearance Test is to confirm the lead abatement was properly done
and that the Residence was cleaned so that no hazardous levels of lead dust remain in the
Residence. In essence, it confinms the contractor did everything in the lead abatement
scope of work and that the house is safe for occupancy. The clearance test should be
performed as soon as the lead abatement contractor completes the job and performs
cleanup. We try to schedule the clearance exam the same day as the contractor completes
the clean up. This avoids the potential for cross contamination. LTE always waits at
least one hour for any and all lead dust particles to settle on horizontal surfaces.
LTE requires a copy of lead abatement contractor's scope of work prior to visiting the site
for final clearance testing. After reviewing the scope of work, our risk assessor /inspector
visits the site and visually confirms that all the lead abatement work was properly
completed. Subsequently, he /she takes dust wipe samples in the areas that underwent
abatement and soil samples along the Residence's drip line area. We will not take
composite dust wipe samples. We complete a chain a custody form and forward the
10
samples to a laboratory for atomic absorption spectrometry ( "AAS ") analysis. The
laboratory is accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) and
participates in their ELLPAT testing program for lead.
Unless requested otherwise, we have the laboratory fax us the results of the AAS testing
within 24 -48 hours of receipt. We review the laboratory results to determine whether the
Residence is safe for occupancy (i.e. that the sample dust results tested below California
DHS regulatory levels).
9. DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES
For management and coordination purposes, LTE assigns one person as a project
manager for each job. That person is responsible for coordinating all work, performing
QAQC and discussing the project with the City /County representative, general contractor,
abatement contractor, resident, etc. Mr. Denzler is the project manager and is involved
with all aspects of each project from initial assessment to drafting the abatement design
and any close out report.
Generally, we request that the City provide us with the name and phone number of the
owner/borrower and address of residence to be inspected and then we schedule the
inspection with them and accommodate their schedules. We explain what we need to do,
the time it takes, etc. The City or Municipality is our client and we will not provide
copies of the lead report to the owners, realtors, contractors, etc. without the prior consent
of the city official that ordered the lead consulting work.
A. XRF Surveys
For accuracy of lead test measurements, we abide by our XRF machine's performance
specifications. Our inspectors use a portable XRF lead based paint Spectrum Analyzer
manufactured by Radiation Monitoring Devices ( "RMD ") to test for LBP. Our RMD
serial number is 1043 and our radiation License number is 5835 -19. We also have access
to a second RMD XRF analyzer.
LTE calibrates the XRF pursuant to the manufacturer's specifications and regularly
verifies 3 XRF readings against pre determined lead samples produced by the National
Institute of Standards and Testing (KIST) every 4 hours or at the beginning or end of each
LBP inspection. All of these quality control measures produce a 95% confidence level
that our XRF readings accurately reflect the actual level of lead in the tested surfaces. In
drafting the reports, we use a two step process to avoid errors. The lead
inspector /assessor for the particular job drafts the initial report. For QAQC, Mr. Denzler
reviews the report and double checks the field data to confirm all appropriate building
components are designated as negative or positive for lead based paint.
As stated, a copy of our hybrid lead inspection/risk assessment is attached hereto in
Attachment 3.
B. Clearance Inspection and Testing
LTE's lead assessor first requests a copy of the abatement contractor's scope of work if
we do not already have it. We generally discuss the scope of work with the contractor
prior to visiting the site. The assessor will schedule the clearance test with both the
abatement contractor and site resident. We will also notify the City /County. Upon
visiting the site, the inspector will conducted a visual examination throughout the entire
residence to confirm all tasks in the scope of work was completed in a professional
manner. Secondly, the assessor will confirm the site was properly cleaned. If he detects
visible signs of paint dust, ripped polyethylene sheeting or other indications that the site
was not properly cleaned he will call the office. The office will then notify the
City /County construction specialist that the abatement contractor did not clean the site.
Rather than waste samples, LTE will visually fail the contractor and immediately notify
them of the problem. If the site was properly cleaned, we take dust wipe samples in the
work areas and an adjacent area. We may also take a soil sample. We send the samples
and chain of custody documentation to Long Beach with.a spiked sample to confirm lab's
accuracy. Once the lab results are faxed back to our office, the project manager will
review the results and draft the clearance report which states whether the contractor
passed or failed the test.
C. Laboratory
For the past 3 years, LTE has had a corporate account with the Long Beach Department
of Health and Human Services to test our bulk samples, dust wipes, water, etc. The
laboratory is very responsive to our needs be it same day, 24 hour or 48 hour time
constraints. The laboratory address is 2525 Grand Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90815. The
laboratory director is Mae 562 -570 -4164.
10. LITIGATION
LTE has never been subject to legal action for services rendered.
11. EXCEPTIONS TO TIIE PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS
LTE has no exceptions to the Project specifications.

of the RFP. Refer to Appendix B for SCA's current Certificate of Insurance.
8. Scope of Work
SCA has read and understands the scope of work as described on Pages 4 -6 of the RFP,
including issues with regard to project time frame, magnitude, billing and payment. SCA
understands that the services outlined in the RFP include lead risk assessments, inspections and
clearance testing, including XRF testing and laboratory analyses by SCA's NLLAP- accredited
subcontract laboratory.
9. Description of Standard Operating Procedures
SCA schedules its work using a Team approach. Each Team Leader is assigned a staff of
technicians, ranging from very seasoned to trainees. This team approach allows for the City of
Rosemead's Project Managers to see consistent staffing on projects and uses the resources
within the team to rectify staffing problems, answer questions, know client - specific protocols,
etc., improving the overall quality and consistency of services. Once a week, the Team Leaders
review staffing requirements for the upcoming week and plan for cross - utilizing team members
where additional staffing is needed. If any one Team is overworked, assignments can be made
to utilize available resources or to transfer overall control of a forthcoming assignment to a new
Team. All Managers and Technicians are outfitted with cellular phones. Project Managers
operate their phones continually; therefore, we are able to respond either day or night to
emergency calls. Technicians are all required to possess reliable transportation, and all of
SCA's offices are outfitted with XRFs and other equipment needed for this assignment.
Project Approach for Environmental Assessments
SCA's technical protocol for performing projects involves a multi - disciplinary approach to
solving problems and providing solutions. Our staff represents the fields and disciplines of
biology, chemistry, engineering, geology, and environmental science. Our protocol calls for the
identification of the regulations and regulatory authorities that govern areas of concern within a
Lead -Based Paint Testing, Risk Assessment and Clearance Testing for _
City of Rosemead Community Development
Rosemead CDBG - funded Residential Rehabilitation Program
SCA Proposal No. 04113 MOLA
project. Once these have been established, the next step is to plan a sequence of activities
aimed at providing the necessary data to assess the project site with respect to these regulations.
This information is often provided in a Work Plan including standard operating procedures for
sampling and analysis of the media to be assessed. Next, SCA will provide the Work Plan to
the City of Rosemead for review and after approval would submit the Work Plan to the
applicable regulatory authority. After approval of the Work Plan, SCA will implement the
Work Plan and monitor the team's adherence to it through the field investigation. When the
data from the field investigation is received from the analytical laboratory, SCA will review the
data for accuracy and precision based on the QA/QC protocol standard for the industry. An
important aspect of our protocol is our internal review of the technical merits of a project. In
this review process, SCA chooses members of the project team not involved with the daily
aspects of the project to review situations before technical decisions are made and conclusions
are reached during the course of the project. In turn, this provides the City of Rosemead with a
more thorough approach to environmental issues at hand. SCA's Los Angeles Branch Manager,
Mark Osborn, will be the lead person on technical reviews and will ensure that proper quality
control/quality assurance procedures are in place during the duration of the project. For each of
the steps outlined above in the technical management of the project, an internal review exists in
the decision - making process to ensure the correct path has been chosen for the project.
Project Approach for Lead -Based Paint Consulting
SCA's proposed Project Manager will oversee client management and supervise the assigned
Project Technician. SCA's Project Manager will attend any pre - construction project meetings to
answer specific, project - related questions posed by the General Contractor, Abatement
Contractor, or City of Rosemead's Project Manager. SCA will also provide the services of our
Project Manager and /or Project Technician to attend progress meetings as needed during the
project. SCA will conduct risk assessments, inspections and clearance testing with DHS Lead
Inspector /Assessors. Clearance inspectors will not be the same individuals who performed the
risk assessments or inspections. Bulk, wipe and soil samples will be analyzed at SCA's AIHA
and NLLAP- accredited contract laboratory. The City of Rosemead's Project Manager will be
promptly notified of any unacceptable results.
SCA will provide the services of a Jr. Industrial Hygienist to conduct wipe sampling for lead to
show the acceptability of dust control procedures at the project limits and as otherwise required
to show compliance with applicable regulations and specifications. SCA will also provide the
services of appropriate professional personnel to advise on technical matters arising during the
course of the lead project. A copy of SCA's inspection, risk assessment or clearance report will
be provided to the City of Rosemead at the completion of each project.
SCA will provide final lead clearance inspections and testing as noted in the RFP.. This will
include a rigorous visual inspection of all work surfaces to ensure that visible dust or debris is
not remaining in the work area. If the results of the visual inspection are satisfactory, then SCA
will carry out dust wipe or soil sampling in the work area, as applicable.
While characterization of waste is usually completed by the Demolition or Abatement
Contractor, SCA's Field Technicians are capable of assuring proper packaging, sign -off of
hazardous and non- hazardous waste manifests, and segregation of wastes in compliance with
the City of Rosemead's requirements.
For lead -based paint inspections, the lead content of representative suspect lead -based paints
(LBP) and ceramic tile surfaces will be measured utilizing a Niton XRF Model XL -309, XL-
700, or XL -703 series Spectrum Analyzer. Sampling will account for colors, textures, and
substrates to represent the overall conditions impacted by the proposed project. Representative
quality assurance samples for LBPs or lead glazing can be collected for analysis of lead content
by flame atomic absorption by SCA's contract ELAP- and NLLAP- accredited laboratory. In
addition to the XRF sampling, SCA can conduct dust wipe samples within areas scheduled for
Paint Testing, Risk Assessment and Clearance Testing for

renovation or abatement.
Ouality Assurance Program
To guarantee delivery of work consistent with the City of Rosemead's needs, SCA will remain
in constant contact with the City of Rosemead's Project Manager. The City of Rosemead's
Project Manager will have cellular phone numbers, e-mail addresses and voicemail extensions
for SCA's Key Personnel. In addition, SCA's Project Manager will provide the City of
Rosemead's Project Manager with a written description of the proposed scope of work prior to
commencement. The City of Rosemead will be provided with daily reports indicating a
description of the day's work activities, the percent completion, and all available testing and
clearance data.
SCA also maintains a rigorous Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) Program to
assure all work is conducted in accordance with applicable regulations and the City of
Rosemead's requests. QA/QC issues include training and qualifications of personnel and
laboratories, the various field and laboratory QC procedures, the report review, etc. A copy of
this QA/QC Program can be made available to the City of Rosemead, if needed.
10. Pending or Completed Litigation or Settlements
SCA has no pending or completed litigation or settlements regarding services provided by the
company, including professional liability for errors and omissions.
11. Exceptions to the Project Specifications
SCA does not take any exceptions to the project specifications as outlined in the City of
Rosemead's RFP.

* It is possible tot two assessments are periormea by one seA inspector to me same day a me sues are
in close proximity, in which case economies in travel time, project management and shipping would
be realized. A second site could therefore be inspected for an additional $500.
** Includes 15% subcontractor markup.
The above estimates assume inspections and sampling for individual dwelling units.
Incremental increases in the numbers of samples collected and time on site would be realized
for multiple unit properties.
Please note that SCA made certain assumptions in its proposal, which have a substantial impact
on the dollar amount. These should be taken into consideration when evaluating our proposal
(against competing ones) on the basis of price:
• SCA assumes a total of three (3) clearance wipe samples, with 24 -hour
turnaround for laboratory analysis, per clearance, covering composite floors,
windowsills and window troughs.
• SCA assumes a total of 2 soil samples, with 24 -hour turnaround for
laboratory analysis, per risk assessment.
• SCA's fees include travel time to and from each site.
The following are not included in SCA's fee proposal and may result in charges in excess of the
enclosed flat rate prices:
• Repeat visits to sites due to access limitations or clearance failures.
• Sampling in excess of the three (3) clearance wipe.and (2) soil samples per site.
• Turnaround times for laboratory analysis or report deliverables less than as stated
herein.
If should also be noted that inspections and assessments of multiple sites might result in a
reduction in SCA's fees.
