4a. Consideration of Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) Quotes for 1.6252 +/- acre
site on 4th Street East and authorizing entering into a contract with the lowest
qualified quote provider (JT)
A. REFERENCE & BACKGROUND
The EDA is being asked to review and select the lowest qualified quote for work
involving the completion of an Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for an area of
approximately 1.6252 acres +/- along 4th Street East. The parcels involved in the
ESA include the following parcels: a vacant lot located at 224 - 4th Street East,
purchased by the EDA in early 2018, the undeveloped Palm Street right of way
(ROW), and the residential property that is located at 300 - 4th Street East. The 300 -
4th Street is currently under contract with the EDA for acquisition. The closing is
scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on Friday, December 6, 2019. The EDA is further asked to
authorize entering into a contract for ESA services with lowest qualified quote
provider. Quotes have been submitted by the following firms in the amounts shown
below:
Name of Firm Amount of Quote
WSB & Associates, Inc., Golden Valley, MN $2,020.00
Braun-Intertec, Inc., Minneapolis, MN $3,000.00
SEH Engineers, Inc., St. Paul, MN $3,400.00
The low quote was submitted by WSB & Associates, Inc. A review of the WSB RFP
submittal by staff confirms that it meets the requirements of the RFP.
The EDA will benefit now by having an understanding of the environmental
conditions and/or potential issues at the 1.6252-acre land tract. The ESA report will
be useful if there are issues identified as it will guide follow on environmental review
steps such as a Phase II investigation. It will further be evidence to a prospective
future developer who may acquire the property. Developers prefer to have
documentation regarding environmental conditions prior to beginning proj ects.
Completing the ESA Phase I at this point in time will position the EDA with flexible
ne�t step options as it considers formulating plans for future development of the land
tract.
Al. STAFF IMPACT: The staff activities in this important environmental step include:
creating a descriptive Request for Proposal (RFP) packet, soliciting quote submittals by
prospective qualified firms, sending them the RFP packet, reviewing RFP submittals and
preparing the staff report for EDA consideration. To date the approximate amount of time
involved by staff is 7 to 8 hours +/-.
A2. BUDGET IMPACT: The expected future budget impact is tied to the EDA
decision related to selection of an acceptable quote. Since this is professional service, the
EDA has the leeway to select the most qualified firm regardless of the quote amount if it
1
EDA Agenda - 11/27/19
so chooses. The source of the funds to pay for the ESA will be the EDA General fund
budget. The specific line item will be the "Redevelopment Activities" line item. The
adopted 2019 EDA budget set aside $123,250 in the Redevelopment activities line item
for these types of expenses. As of the most recent financial update, there is sufficient
funding available in this line item.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
L Motion to select the lowest qualified quote for ESA services and authorize entering
into a contract for services with the selected vendor.
2. Motion to deny selection of the lowest qualified quote and authorization to enter into
a contract for services for ESA services.
3. Motion to table action on the item for further research and/or discussion.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the EDA select the lowest qualified quote among the submitted
proposals. Completing the ESA is an important step for the EDA to have knowledge that
the 1.6252-acre site does not have serious environmental issues. Although, this area is an
older core residential neighborhood, and as such, is believed to be relatively clean and
uncontaminated, it is prudent to understand the environmental conditions and/or issues at
the site now, so as to inform any required mid-term and longer-term steps.

224 4th Street East, Palm Street Right of Way, and 300 4th Street East
Monticello, MN 55362
Dear Mr. Thares:
As requested, outlined below is a scope of work and cost estimate to perform a Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the properties located at 224 4th Street East,
Palm Street Right of Way, and 300 4th Street East located in Monticello, Minnesota (the
Property). The Phase I ESA will be performed in general compliance with the ASTM
E1527-13 Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments. WSB understands
that the City of Monticello is considering purchasing the 300 4th Street East property.
Further, WSB understands that access to the 300 4th Street East property will not be
available until the week of December 2nd, 2019 and any major findings will be provided
to the City by December 6, 2019. The following items will be performed as part of the
Phase I ESA:
Historical Records Review
WSB will obtain federal and state regulatory database information for the Property from
a commercial regulatory vendor to evaluate for potential environmental conditions. This
review will not include a detailed review of all listings identified in the regulatory
database search, but rather will focus on listings which have the potential to result in a
recognized environmental condition (REC). The following historical records will be
reviewed:
• Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps
• Historical Aerial Photographs
• City Directories
• Historical Topographic Maps
• Federal EPA-listed sites including NPL, CERCLIS, RCRA, and ERNS
• State MPCA-listed sites including UST, LUST, MERLA, VIC, spills, landfills, and
others
• Regulatory file review will be conducted per ASTM E 1527-13.
I nterviews
WSB will conduct interviews with Property representatives (via phone, in person, or
questionnaire) regarding past and current Property use activities. Any entity relying on
Jim Thares

including; asbestos, lead-based paint, radon, lead in drinking water, wetlands, regulatory
compliance, cultural/historic resources, industrial hygiene, indoor air quality, biological
agents, or mold sampling and analysis. The report will be completed in accordance with
the ASTM E1527-13 standard and shall include the following:
• Supporting documentation upon which the findings and opinions are based
• Scope of services performed
• A"findings" section which will detail any recognized environmental conditions
(RECs) identified by the assessment
• The opinion of the environmental professional
• Any conclusions drawn from the assessment

EXHIBIT A
GENERAL CONTRACT PROVISIONS
ARTICLE 1— PERFORMANCE OF THE WORK
Consultant shall perform the services under this Agreement in accordance with the care and skill
ordinarily exercised by members of Consultant's profession practicing under similar circumstances at the
same time and in the same locality. Consultant makes no warranties, express or implied, under this
Agreement or otherwise, in connection with its services.
ARTICLE 2 — ADDITIONAL SERVICES
If the Client requests that the Consultant perform any services which are beyond the scope as set forth in
the Agreement, or if changed or unforeseen conditions require the Consultant to perform services outside
of the original scope, then, Consultant shall promptly notify the Client of cause and nature of the
additional services required. Upon notification, Consultant shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in
both compensation and time to perform.
ARTICLE 3 — SCHEDULE
Unless specific periods of time or dates for providing services are specified in a separate Exhibit,
Consultant's obligation to render services hereunder will be for a period which may reasonably be
required for the completion of said services. The Client agrees that Consultant is not responsible for
damages arising directly or indirectly from any delays for causes beyond Consultant's control. For
purposes of this Agreement, such causes include, but are not limited to, strikes or other labor disputes;
severe weather disruptions, or other natural disasters or acts of God; fires, riots, war or other
emergencies; any action or failure to act in a timely manner by any government agency; actions or failure
to act by the Client or the Client's contractor or consultants; or discovery of any hazardous substance or
differing site conditions. If the delays outside of Consultant's control increase the cost or the time required
by Consultant to perform its services in accordance with professional skill and care, then Consultant shall
be entitled to a reasonable adjustment in schedule and compensation.
ARTICLE 4 — CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION
If requested by Client, Consultant shall visit the project during construction to become familiar with the
progress and quality of the contractors' work and to determine if the work is proceeding, in general, in
accordance with plans, specifications or other contract documents prepared by Consultant for the Client.
The Client has not retained the Consultant to make detailed inspections or to provide exhaustive or
continuous project review and observation services.
Consultant neither guarantees the performance of any Contractor retained by Client nor assumes
responsibility for any Contractor's failure to furnish and perform the work in accordance with the
construction documents. Client acknowledges Consultant will not direct, supervise or control the work of
contractors or their subcontractors, nor shall Consultant have authority over or responsibility for the
contractors' means, methods, or procedures of construction. Consultant's services do not include review
or evaluation of the Client's, contractor's or subcontractor's safety measures, or job site safety. Job Site
Safety shall be the sole responsibility of the contractor who is performing the work.
For Client-observed projects, the Consultant shall be entitled to rely upon and accept representations of
the Client's observer. If the Client desires more extensive project observation or full-time project
representation, the Client shall request such services be provided by the Consultant as an Additional
Service. Consultant and Client shall then enter into a Supplemental Agreement detailing the terms and
conditions of the requested project observation.
ARTICLE 5— OPINIONS OF PROBABLE COST
Opinions, if any, of probable cost, construction cost, financial evaluations, feasibility studies, economic
analyses of alternate solutions and utilitarian considerations of operations and maintenance costs,
collectively referred to as "Cost Estimates," provided for are made or to be made on the basis of the
Consultant's experience and qualifications and represent the Consultant's best judgment as an
experienced and qualified professional design firm. The parties acknowledge, however, that the
Exhibit A— General Contract Provisions 11.01.16 Page 1
Consultant does not have control over the cost of labor, material, equipment or services furnished by
others or over market conditions or contractor's methods of determining their prices, and any evaluation
of any facility to be constructed or acquired, or work to be performed must, of necessity, be viewed as
simply preliminary. Accordingly, the Consultant and Client agree that the proposals, bids or actual costs
may vary from opinions, evaluations or studies submitted by the Consultant and that Consultant assumes
no responsibility for the accuracy of opinions of Cost Estimates and Client expressly waives any claims
related to the accuracy of opinions of Cost Estimates. If Client wishes greater assurance as to Cost
Estimates, Client shall employ an independent cost estimator as part of its Project responsibilities.
ARTICLE 6— REUSE AND DISPOSITION OF INSTRUMENTS OF SERVICE
All documents, including reports, drawings, calculations, specifications, CADD materials, computers
software or hardware or other work product prepared by Consultant pursuant to this Agreement are
Consultant's Instruments of Service and Consultant retains all ownership interests in Instruments of
Service, including copyrights. The Instruments of Service are not intended or represented to be suitable
for reuse by the Client or others on extensions of the Project or on any other project. Copies of
documents that may be relied upon by Client are limited to the printed copies (also known as hard copies)
that are signed or sealed by Consultant. Files in electronic format furnished to Client are only for
convenience of Client. Any conclusion or information obtained or derived from such electronic files will be
at the user's sole risk. Consultant makes no representations as to long term compatibility, usability or
readability of electronic files.
If requested, at the time of completion or termination of the work, the Consultant may make available to
the Client the Instruments of Service upon (i) payment of amounts due and owing for work performed and
expenses incurred to the date and time of termination, and (ii) fulfillment of the Client's obligations under
this Agreement. Any use or re-use of such Instruments of Service by the Client or others without written
consent, verification or adaptation by the Consultant except for the specific purpose intended will be at
the Client's risk and full legal responsibility and Client expressly releases all claims against Consultant
arising from re-use of the Instruments of Service without Consultant's written consent, verification or
adaptation.
The Client will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold the Consultant harmless from
any claim, liability or cost (including reasonable attorneys' fees, and defense costs) arising or allegedly
arising out of any unauthorized reuse or modification of these Instruments of Service by the Client or any
person or entity that acquires or obtains the reports, plans and specifications from or through the Client
without the written authorization of the Consultant. Under no circumstances shall transfer of Instruments
of Service be deemed a sale by Consultant, and Consultant makes no warranties, either expressed or
implied, of inerchantability and fitness for any particular purpose. Consultant shall be entitled to
compensation for any consent, verification or adaption of the Instruments of Service for extensions of the
Project or any other project.
ARTICLE 7 — PAYMENTS
Payment to Consultant shall be on a lump sum or hourly basis as set out in the Agreement. Consultant is
entitled to payment of amounts due plus reimbursable expenses. Client will pay the balance stated on
the invoice unless Client notifies Consultant in writing of any disputed items within fifteen (15) days from
the date of invoice. In the event of any dispute, Client will pay all undisputed amounts in the ordinary
course, and the Parties will endeavor to resolve all disputed items. All accounts unpaid after thirty (30)
days from the date of original invoice shall be subject to a service charge of 1-1/2% per month, or the
maximum amount authorized by law, whichever is less. Consultant reserves the right to retain instruments
of service until all invoices are paid in full. Consultant will not be liable for any claims of loss, delay, or
damage by Client for reason of withholding services or instruments of service until all invoices are paid in
full. Consultant shall be entitled to recover all reasonable costs and disbursements, including reasonable
attorney fees, incurred in connection with collecting amounts owed by Client. In addition, Consultant
may, after giving seven (7) days' written notice to Client, suspend services under this Agreement until it
receives full payment for all amounts then due for services, expenses and charges. Payment methods,
expenses and rates may be more fully described in Exhibit C and Exhibit E.
Exhibit A— General Contract Provisions 11.01.16 Page 2
ARTICLE 8— SUBMITTALS AND PAY APPLICATIONS
If the Scope of Work includes the Consultant reviewing and certifying the amounts due the Contractor, the
Consultant's certification for payment shall constitute a representation to the Client, that to the best of the
Consultant's knowledge, information and belief, the Work has progressed to the point indicated and that
the quality of the Work is in general accordance with the Documents issued by the Consultant. The
issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall not be a representation that the Consultant has (1) made
exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed
construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, (3) reviewed copies of requisitions
received from Subcontractors and material suppliers and other data requested by the Client to

has used money previously paid on account of the Contract Sum. Contractor shall remain exclusively
responsible for its Work.
If the Scope of Work includes Consultant's review and approval of submittals from the Contractor, such
review shall be for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with the information given and the
design concept. The review of submittals is not intended to determine the accuracy of all components,
the accuracy of the quantities or dimensions, or the safety procedures, means or methods to be used in
construction, and those responsibilities remain exclusively with the Client's contractor.
ARTICLE 9 — HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Notwithstanding the Scope of Services to be provided pursuant to this Agreement, it is understood and
agreed that Consultant is not a user, handler, generator, operator, treater, arranger, storer, transporter, or
disposer of hazardous or toxic substances, pollutants or contaminants as any of the foregoing items are
defined by Federal, State and/or local law, rules or regulations, now existing or hereafter amended, and
which may be found or identified on any Project which is undertaken by Consultant.
The Client agrees to indemnify Consultant and its officers, subconsultant(s), employees and agents from
and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liability and costs, including but not limited to costs of
defense, arising out of or in any way connected with, the presence, discharge, release, or escape of
hazardous or toxic substances, pollutants or contaminants of any kind, except that this clause shall not
apply to such liability as may arise out of Consultant's sole negligence in the performance of services
under this Agreement arising from or relating to hazardous or toxic substances, pollutants, or
contaminants specifically identified by the Client and included within Consultant's services to be provided
under this Agreement.
ARTICLE 10 — INSURANCE
Consultant has procured general and professional liability insurance. On request, Consultant will furnish
client with a certificate of insurance detailing the precise nature and type of insurance, along with
applicable policy limits. Additional Insurance requirements are listed in Exhibit D.

If Consultant's services are delayed or suspended in whole or in part by Client, or if Consultant's services
are delayed by actions or inactions of others for more than sixty (60) days through no fault of Consultant,
Consultant shall be entitled to either terminate its agreement upon seven (7) days written notice or, at its
option, accept an equitable adjustment of rates and amounts of compensation provided for elsewhere in
this Agreement to reflect reasonable costs incurred by Consultant in connection with, among other things,
such delay or suspension and reactivation and the fact that the time for performance under this
Agreement has been revised.
This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon seven (7) days written notice should the other
party fail substantially to perform in accordance with its terms through no fault of the party initiating the
termination. In the event of termination Consultant shall be compensated for services performed prior to
termination date, including charges for expenses and equipment costs then due and all termination
expenses.
This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon thirty (30) days' written notice without cause.

to the work or to the Project, (hereinafter "Instruments of Service"), shall be made available to the Client
upon payment of all amounts due as of the date of termination. All provisions of this Agreement
allocating responsibility or liability between the Client and Consultant shall survive the completion of the
services hereunder and/or the termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 12 — INDEMNIFICATION

their contractors, subcontractors or suppliers.
ARTICLE 14 — WAIVER OF CLAIMS FOR PERSONAL LIABILITY
It is intended by the parties to this Agreement that Consultant's services shall not subject Consultant's
employees, officers or directors to any personal legal exposure for the risks associated with this
Agreement. Therefore, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Client agrees
that as the Client's sole and exclusive remedy, any claim, demand or suit shall be directed and/or
asserted only against Consultant, and not against any of Consultant's individual employees, officers or
directors.
ARTICLE 15 — ASSIGNMENT
Neither Party to this Agreement shall assign its interest in this agreement, any proceeds due under the
Agreement nor any claims that may arise from services or payments due under the Agreement without
the written consent of the other Party. Any assignment in violation of this provision shall be null and void.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create a contractual relationship with or a cause of action in
favor of a third party against either the Consultant or Client. This Agreement is for the exclusive benefit of
Consultant and Client and there are no other intended beneficiaries of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 16 — CONFLICT RESOLUTION

formal legal proceedings.
ARTICLE 17 — CONFIDENTIALITY
The Consultant agrees to keep confidential and not to disclose to any person or entity, other than the
Consultant's employees, subconsultants and the general contractor and subcontractors, if appropriate,
any data and information furnished to the Consultant and marked CONFIDENTIAL by the Client. These
provisions shall not apply to information in whatever form that comes into the public domain, nor shall it
restrict the Consultant from giving notices required by law or complying with an order to provide
information or data when such order is issued by a court, administrative agency or other authority with
proper jurisdiction, or if it is reasonably necessary for the Consultant to complete services under the
Agreement or defend itself from any suit or claim.

assigns. This mutual waiver shall apply even if the damages were foreseeable and regardless of the
theory of recovery plead or asserted.
ARTICLE 19 — CONTROLLING LAW
This Agreement is to be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota. Any controversy or claim arising
out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, including but not limited to claims for
negligence or breach of warranty, that is not settled by nonbinding mediation shall be settled by the law of
the state of Minnesota.
ARTICLE 20 — LOCATION OF UNDERGROUND IMPROVEMENTS
Where requested by Client, Consultant will perform customary research to assist Client in locating and
identifying subterranean structures or utilities. However, Consultant may reasonably rely on information
from the Client and information provided by local utilities related to structures or utilities and will not be liable

information. The Client agrees to waive all claims and causes of action against the Consultant for claims
by Client or its contractors relating to the identification, removal, relocation, or restoration of utilities, or
damages to underground improvements resulting from subsurface penetration locations established by
the Consultant.

Proposal QTB111586
Proposal to Conduct a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
Residential Property
224 and 3004t" Street East and Palm Street ROW
Monticello, MN
Dear Mr. Thares:
Braun Intertec Corporation is pleased to present this proposal to conduct a Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment (ESA) of the referenced Site. It is our understanding that this Phase I ESA would be
completed as a result of the purchase of one of the parcels of the Site. The objective of a Phase I ESA is
to evaluate the Site for indications of recognized environmental conditions and to assist in satisfying All
Appropriate Inquiries (AAI) criteria and requirements. The Phase I ESA will be conducted in general
conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM International Practice E 1527-13 (ASTM Practice
E 1527-13) and 40 CFR Part 312.
Scope of Services
Site History Review
The Phase I ESA will summarize reasonably ascertainable information pertaining to former and current
land-use activities at the Ste. Our summary will include a review of aerial photographs, fire insurance
atlases, city directories, property tax files, building records, topographic maps, and/or other historical
documents to satisfy the historical-use requirements of the ASTM Practice E 1527-13 and 40 CFR
Part 312.
Regulatory Information Review
We will request that a national regulatory information vendor, such as Environmental Data Resources,
Inc., conduct a limited file evaluation of the site. If readily available and practically reviewable, the file
evaluation will include, at a minimum, a review of the following databases within the corresponding
approximate minimum search distance indicated in the ASTM Practice E 1527-13 and 40 CFR Part 312:
■ Federal National Priorities List (NPL)
■ Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Information
System (CERCLIS)

■ State leaking underground and aboveground storage tank (LUST/LAST) sites
■ State registered underground and aboveground storage tank (UST/AST) sites
■ State Brownfield programs
■ State Institutional and Engineering Controls
■ State spills list
We will review and summarize this information, and comment on known and potential environmental
hazards that may impact the Site. The scope of work does not include a detailed review of file
information of identified facilities listed on the regulatory databases. However, if in our opinion a file
review is warranted to evaluate the existence of a recognized environmental condition, historical
recognized environmental condition, controlled recognized environmental condition, or a de minimis
condition, we will contact you to discuss expanding the assessment to include a file review and the
associated costs.
Site Reconnaissance and Interviews
The Phase I ESA will include a reconnaissance of the Site. During the reconnaissance we will note,
if observed, the type of vegetation, exposed soils, open excavations or depressions, and site topography.
Visible indications of underground and aboveground storage tanks, dumping, spills of petroleum and
chemicals, and other obvious potential sources of contamination will be noted. In addition, we will
conduct interviews with site representatives and governmental officials regarding past and current
land-use activities.
Results and Reporting
A draft Phase I ESA report will be sent to you for review and comment. The Phase I ESA report will
remain in draft status until we are notified by you to proceed with issuance of the final Phase I ESA
report.
If we encounter indications of existing or potential sources of contamination during our assessment, we
will notify you to discuss how the assessment may proceed. You may wish to discontinue the Phase I ESA
or you may consider expanding the assessment to further evaluate the contamination sources that are
identified. If contamination at the site is confirmed, the property owner may be required to notify
proper governmental authorities.
User-Provided Information
As part of Phase I ESA, the "User" should provide available information to Braun Intertec as the
Environmental Professional to help identify the possibility of recognized environmental conditions in
connection with the Site. A"User" is the party seeking to use ASTM Practice E 1527-13 to complete an
environmental site assessment and may include, without limitation, a potential purchaser, tenant or
owner of the property, a lender, or a property manager.

The attached User questionnaire should be completed in its entirety by the User(sJ and returned with
the signed authorization. If multiple Users are requesting reliance on the Phase I ESA, please provide
us with a questionnaire completed by each of the appropriate entities.
Assessment Limitations
Upon completion of the Phase I ESA, Braun Intertec does not guarantee qualification for Landowner
Liability Protections (LLP). Our proposed scope of work is consistent with "good commercial and
customary practices" (as defined by ASTM Practice E 1527-13) conducted in an effort to evaluate
recognized environmental conditions at a site in this area.
The assessment will not include vapor encroachment screening as defined in ASTM Practice E2600-15,
Standard Guide for Vapor Encroachment Screening on Property /nvolved in Real Estate Transactions.
ASTM Practice E2600-15 is not a requirement or component of AAI, and its results are not determinative
of whether hazardous substances from a release are or may be present at the property for the sake of
AAI or ASTM E1527-13. However, vapors present or likely present from hazardous substances or
petroleum products will be considered no differently than hazardous substances or petroleum products
present or likely present as a result of a release to the environment. Therefore, while a vapor
encroachment screening per the ASTM Practice E2600-15 standard will not be conducted as part of this
proposal, the potential for impacts to the property from vapor migration that is a result of a release of
hazardous substances and/or petroleum products to the environment will be considered when assessing
for the presence of a recognized environmental condition as defined by ASTM E1527-13.
COSt
The lump-sum cost for the tasks described in this proposal is as follows.
Service Description Lump Sum Cost
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment $3,000
Schedule
We anticipate the draft Phase I ESA report will be completed by 9:00 a.m. on Friday December 6, 2019,
assuming written authorization is received by November 28, 2019 and the attached questionnaires are
completed and received by December 2, 2019. The Phase I ESA report will remain in draft status until we
are notified by you to proceed with issuance of the final Phase I ESA report.

(submitted via e-mail)
Dear Mr. Thares:
RE: Proposal: Phase 1 Environmental Site
Assessment — 4th Street East, Monticello, MN
This letter proposal is provided to describe the work tasks, cost estimate, and proposed schedule to
complete a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), for 1.6252 acres located on 4th Street East in
Monticello, Wright County, Minnesota. The property includes two parcels (224 and 300 4th Street East)
and the Palm Street Right-of-Way which lies between the two parcels. The property includes one house
and associated detached garage.
Proposed Scope of Services
SEH will follow the Scope of Services.
Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment
SEH will perform the Phase I ESA tasks in accordance with ASTM Standard Method E 1527-13 Standard
Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment Process.
The purpose of the Phase I ESA is to identify, to the extent feasible pursuant to the processes described
in E 1527-13 and in a manner consistent with good commercial or customary practice, Recognized
Environmental Conditions (RECs), Controlled RECs (CRECs) and Historical RECs (HRECs) in
connection with the subject property.
By ASTM definition, REC means "the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or
petroleum products in, on, or at a property: (1) due to any release to the environment; (2) under
conditions indicative of a release to the environment; or (3) under conditions that pose a material threat of
a future release to the environment. De minimis conditions are not recognized environmental conditions."
The term HREC is defined by ASTM to mean "a past release of any hazardous substances or petroleum
products that has occurred in connection with the property and has been addressed to the satisfaction of
the applicable regulatory authority or meeting unrestricted use criteria established by a regulatory
authority, without subjecting the property to any required controls (for example, property use restrictions,
activity and use limitations, institutional controls, or engineering controls)."
The term CREC is defined by ASTM to mean "a recognized environmental condition resulting from a past
release of hazardous substances or petroleum products that has been addressed to the satisfaction of
the applicable regulatory authority (for example, as evidenced by the issuance of a no further action letter
or equivalent, or meeting risk-based criteria established by regulatory authority), with hazardous
substances or petroleum products allowed to remain in place subject to the implementation of required

controls (for example, property use restrictions, activity and use limitations, institutional controls, or
engineering controls)."
Performance of this ESA is intended to reduce but not eliminate uncertainty regarding the existence of
RECs in connection with the subject property. Not every property will warrant the same level of
assessment. The findings, opinions, and conclusions of the ESA are not scientific certainties, but
probabilities based on professional judgment regarding the significance and accuracy of the collected
data. When reasonably ascertainable, data will be obtained and reviewed. However, the accuracy of the
collected data is not the responsibility of SEH. Unless specifically requested and additional budget is
authorized, any additional environmental sampling and analyses including assessment of wetlands, lead
paint, lead in drinking water, and structural/mechanical building conditions are not included in the scope.
Asbestos, radon and hazardous material surveys are also not included in the Phase I ESA scope of work.
The following series of steps and tasks identifies the activities that will be conducted by SEH.
1) Site Reconnaissance.
The objective of site reconnaissance is to obtain potential visual and/or olfactory evidence of
environmental degradation related to the property and adjoining properties. SEH will do a walk-
through of the subject property, noting potential environmental concerns on the subject property and
observable environmental concerns on adjoining properties that relate to improper waste storage and
disposal, and hazardous materials.
2) Records Review.
Publicly available federal, tribal, state, county and city records will be reviewed as appropriate to
determine if the property has had a history of spills, leaks, hazardous waste storage, regulatory
compliance and improper waste disposal practices.
3) Map Review.
As available and appropriate, USGS 7.5 Minute Topographic Map(s), as-built construction plans,
historical and recent aerial photographs, fire insurance maps, and assessor's maps will be reviewed.
A review of the physiography of the area will be completed as necessary.
4) Historical Property Use Research.
Reasonably ascertainable standard historical sources will be reviewed as necessary to identify prior
uses of the property from the time the property was first developed or 1940, whichever is earlier.
Significant data gaps of greater than 5 years in property historical information will be identified.
5) Interviews.
As appropriate, past and present owners, operators, employees and occupants of the property, and
government officials will be interviewed regarding the property.
6) Evaluation and Report Preparation.
A report will be completed that summarizes the compiled information, and offers findings, opinions
and conclusions based on the available data.
Users' Responsibilities
In order to qualify for one of the Landowner Liability Protections offered by the Small Business Liability
Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2001, The City of Monticellog as the User of the report must
complete the attached User Questionnaire and provide the responses to SEH at least 5 working days

User Questionnaire
In order to qualify for one of the Landowner Liability Protections (LLPs) offered by the Small
Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2001 (the "Brownfields Amendments"),
the user must provide the following information (if available) to the environmental professional.
Failure to provide this information could result in a determination that "all appropriate inquiry' is not
complete.
(1.) Environmental cleanup liens that are filed or recorded against the site (40 CFR 312.25).
Are you aware of any environmental cleanup liens against the property that are filled or recorded
under federal, tribal, state, or local law?
(2.) Activity and land use limitations (AULs) that are in place on the site or that have been
filed or recorded in a registry (40 CFR 312.26).
Are you aware of any AULs such as engineering controls, land use restrictions or institutional
controls that are in place at the site and/or have been filed or recorded in a registry under federal,
tribal, state or local law?
(3.) Specialized knowledge or experience of the person seeking to qualify for the LLP (40
CFR 312.28).
As the user of this ESA do you have any specialized knowledge of experience related to the property
or nearby properties? For example, are involved in the same line of business as the current or
former occupants of the property or an adjoining property so that you would have specialized
knowledge of the chemicals and processes used by this type of business?
(4.) Relationship of the purchase price to the fair market value of the property if it were not
contaminated (40 CFR 312.29).
Does the purchase price being paid for this property reasonably reflect the fair market value of the
property? If you conclude that there is a difference, have you considered whether the lower
purchase price is because contamination is known or believed to be present at the property?
(5.) Commonly known or reasonably ascertainable information about the property (40CFR
312.30).
Are you aware of commonly known or reasonably ascertainable information about the property that
would help the environmental professional to identify conditions indicative of re/eases or threatened
re/eases? For example, as user,
(a) Do you know of any past uses of the propert�/?
(b) Do you know of specific chemicals that are present or once were present at the
property?
(c) Do you know of any spills or chemical releases that have taken place at the
property?

Request for Proposal (RFP)
RFP — Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
November 21, 2019
Request for Proposals are sought for Phase I Environmental Site Assessment for a
1.6252-acre area in an older core residential neighborhood in the City of Monticello.
The area consists of the following individual parcels: a vacant lot located at 224 — 4th
Street East (approximately 22,100 sq. ft. +/-), a public street right of way (ROW) area
known as Palm Street (approximately 24,600 sq. ft. +/-) and a residential parcel located
at 300 — 4th Street East (approximately 22,190 sq. ft. +/-). The City of Monticello
Economic Development Authority (EDA) acquired the lot located at 224 — 4th Street
East in early 2018 and has entered into a contract to acquire the property located at
300- 4th Street East. The Palm Street ROW is deemed a potential developable site due
to the fact that the ROW dead ends at the railroad tracks and no rail crossing is
expected to be granted to the City extending Palm Street over the rail tracks further to
the south. The EDA envisions the entire rectangular land tract of 1.6252 acres +/- as a
potential future residential redevelopment site for multi-family units. It is a goal of the
City and the EDA to provide opportunities for a variety of housing styles and options in
the City of Monticello for its residents.
Quote providers should follow the Standard Phase 1 Environmental Review protocol.
With that in mind, it should be noted that the house and garage located at 300 — 4th
Street East are not specifically requested to be tested for hazardous materials at this
point time as that review process will occur in Spring 2020 when the EDA will seek
quotes to demolish the structures located at the property. It is understood however that
access to the house and garage is a desirable aspect of properly completing the Phase
I ESA and with that in mind the current property owner has agreed to provide entrance
into the home and the garage as needed during the week of December 2nd, 2019.
The attached aerial photos and property information sheets are included as Exhibits to
the RFP. RFP responses are requested by 4:00 p.m. on Thursday November 21,
2019. Consideration of the proposals-quotes will be presented for authorization at the
November 27, 2019 EDA meeting. The ESA Report will need to be completed by
December 20, 2019. The EDA is also requesting an early indicator status summary of
the entire site with any red flag warnings as to findings by 9:00 a.m. December 6, 2019.
Quote providers should be aware that the EDA is seeking submittal of both a physical
report and digital files via email. Any questions about the RFP or the Exhibits should be
directed to Jim Thares, Economic Development Manager, phone 762-271-3254 or by
email at jim.thares@ci.moniticello.mn.us.
EDA: 11/21/19
4b. Consideration to a request to contribute $600 from the 2020 EDA Marketin� Bud�et
to bring John Davis, communitv development leader and visionarv, to a Downtown
plan review session in earlv 2020 (JT)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
The EDA is being asked to provide a contribution of $600 from its 2020 EDA Marketing
Budget in support of bringing in John Davis to be the featured speaker and leader of an
event in January or February 2020. Mr. Davis would be the keynote presenter for a
planned review with a goal of reaffirming the Downtown Small Area Plan session related
to Monticello's downtown core area.
Staff would like to bring together the Council, EDA, Planning and Parks Commission to
review what has been accomplished, discuss current activities, and engage the group in
defining new priorities or strategies in concert with the Downtown Plan. To achieve the
Downtown Small Area Plan, a frequent review and renewal of ideas is needed.
Mr. Davis is known as a passionate leader for rural communities and is credited with
playing significant roles in the success of the "Great American Think Offl', New York
Mills, MN and also in the formation of the Lanesboro Arts Campus, Lanesboro, MN.
Both of these initiatives-activities have become widely recognized in the region as
offering significant benefits toward revitalization of those communities. Those same
basic ideas and organizing principals may also apply to efforts related to downtown
Monticello.
Links providing information to the New York Mills and Lanesboro efforts are included
below.
https://lanesboroarts.or�/
https://www.kulcher.or�/
Al. STAFF IMPACT: The staff impact involved in this request for funding and the
overall effort to organize an event supporting greater visioning regarding downtown
Monticello is minimal.
A2. BUDGET IMPACT: The budget impact to the 2020 EDA Marketing Budget would
the amount of the contribution request of $600. The funds would be used to pay for the
featured speaker fees and travel costs. The 2020 EDA Marketing Budget has some
flexible line items that are budgeted for unexpected and worthy activities such as this
proposal.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
Motion to approve a$600 contribution in support of a 2020 Comprehensive Plan
Downtown Booster Event featuring John Davis as the primary speaker from the
EDA 2020 Marketing Budget.
2. Motion to deny approval of $600 for the Downtown Booster Event.
EDA: 11/21/19
Motion to table consideration of the $600 contribution to the Downtown Booster
Event and direct staff accordingly.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative 1. The 2020 EDA Marketing Budget has a line item
reserving $1,800 for events like the proposed downtown presentation.

EDA Agenda: 11/27/19
6. Economic Development Report — General Fund Cash Flow and TIF District #1-41
Financial Model (JT)
A. General Fund Budget and Project Funding Update from 11-13-2019 Workshop
Meeting — As requested at the 11-13-19 Workshop, staff are providing updated
spreadsheets to EDA members regarding the General Fund along with the UMC TIF
District #1-41 financial illustrations related to the land purchase funding and the
increment recapture model. Staff will review the attached items during the meeting and
answer questions that the EDA members may have. Please refer to Exhibits A and B.
A summary of the revisions shown in Exhibits A and B is as follows:
Exhibit A. - The red shaded area is a warning signal which shows any month that the
General Fund is falling below a balance of $100,000. Overall, that appears to an issue
mainly toward the end of 2021. There are a few workaround options for this situation
that were discussed in the 11-13-19 workshop. As mid-year 2020 approaches or at the
very latest in late 2020, the EDA may want to revisit this situation again to review
various options to address any low General Fund balance levels and offer direction and
guidance to keep the General Fund at a plus $100,000 level.
Also, keep in mind the General Fund balance shown on 12-31-2021 is not sufficient to
carry the EDA operating costs and efforts for the full six month time period, thru to 6-
30-2022, either (the point in time when the mid-year tax settlement arrives), so at a
minimum some of the workaround options reviewed on 11-13-2019 will need to be
discussed; with action directed at the appropriate time.
What may change this cash flow in a positive and less concerning direction are
additional land sales in either OCBP (to Project Shepherd or some other industrial
prospects) or possibly sales of other EDA owned parcels in the community, either
residential or commercial-industrial. There is the potential for additional land sales to
occur other than what is identified in the spreadsheet. To be more conservative
though, the land sales shown in the cash flow were limited to the prospects where
there is a mid to high confidence level of a development project moving forward. Any
such additional land sale proceeds occurring in the late 2020 to late 2021 time period
would lift the General Fund budget to much healthier levels in late 2021 and on into
2022.
The main takeaway from the cash flow exercise and review is that the revised,
presented cash flow scenario basically allows the EDA to accomplish much of its
downtown (Block 52) goals while at the same time accommodating a major
unanticipated financial assistance offer to UMC's sizeable expansion project which is
proposed as a significant upfront land write down.
EDA Agenda: 11/27/19
Exhibit B. - Specifically, for the UMC expansion project and the illustrations detailing
the TIF #1-41 financial model, the level of funding needed from the General Fund for
the $1,031,000 land purchase has now been determined to be $300,000; through an
interfund loan. The bulk of the cash source for the 7.39-acre land acquisition,
$731,000, will be TIF #1-6; again, through an interfund loan. Staff is recommending
that the TIF #-1-41 Plan be structured to allow the EDA to have maximum short and
mid-term flexibility by making choices at the appropriate time in the future, in
allocating tax increments generated from the TIF District #1-41 into either the General
Fund or TIF #1-6. Per Exhibit B, the increments will start to flow in 2022 in the amount
of approximately $100,000 +/- per year for up to 9 years. This is an estimated amount
based on assumptions for the UMC expansion, the actual amount will vary.
Conceivable, the EDA could determine each year in this 9-year span where it would like
the increment to be allocated, either General Fund or TIF #1-6. Finally, it should be
noted that staff arrived at what it believes is the most optimal funding structure for
the UMC land purchase needs (combination of $300,000 General Fund and $731,000
TIF #1-6) after multiple scenario runs and much discussion. Staff is prepared to answer
questions during the meeting on 11-27-19.
