6363 CLARK AVENUE - NFL BUILDING
DEMOLITION AND ABATEMENT PACKAGE AND
INTERIM MAINTENANCE FACILITIES TI
1. General Proiect Description:
The project will consist of the hazardous materials abatement, and selective demolition of
the existing approximately 67,000 square foot former National Food Laboratory Building
located at 6363 Clark Avenue, Dublin, California to accommodate future planned site and
building improvements for use by the City of Dublin and Alameda County Fire Department.
Once the building is demolished and abated, a small portion of the building will be
constructed for the installation of transitional staff offices and open industrial storage space
for use by the City of Dublin Maintenance Department while their existing facilities are
being demolished and reconstructed.
Hazardous Materials Abatement, the existing building was constructed and opened in early
1966. It contained staff offices, industrial process and testing areas, science and testing
laboratory spaces, and standard as well as specialty mechanical and electrical equipment.
Through a series of reviews by qualified personnel, it has been determined that the
building contains hazardous materials throughout. These materials have been identified
for type and location in a report prepared by RGA Environmental, dated October 8, 2008.
Prior to reuse of the facility, the building will be abated to remove all of the identified
hazardous materials from this report. This work will be completed prior to any general
building demolition work.
Selective Building Demolition; we will work with City staff to identify all non-structural
portions of the existing building and its associated utilities that should be demolished,
capped and prepared for new work, as well as elements of the building that will be remain
as is or be salvaged for reuse when the building is reoccupied.
Site Demolition; no site demolition will be performed with this scope of work. All demolition
and rework of the site will be performed at the time. when new improvement plans are
generated for the reuse of the existing building shell and can be coordinated with the
requirements generated by the proposed reuse of the building. -
2. Desiqn Review: No exterior rework of the site or building will be performed with this scope
of work so no formal design reviews are required.
Consulting Services Agreement between
City of Dublin and Dahlin Group--Exhibit A.1
Page 1 of 5
3. Consultant Services: Architect will provided the following consultant engineering services
for the buildings and site work: .
Structural (hourly as needed-basis)
4. Phase I - As-Built Documentation: There is no single document available that illustrates
the current building configuration and floor plans in its current state. We will utilize the
existing project drawings from the initial construction provided to us by the City to generate
a base drawing of the existing building, then will conduct a varied level of on site reviews to
verify the remaining existing conditions:
a. Existing structural and shell elements to remain; we assume the building as
constructed closely matches the existing construction documents and will perform
cursory checks to ensure the as-built building envelope matches the backgrounds
generated from these drawings. We will review the building shell and structure with
our structural engineer to identify all critical building structure that must remain after
demolition is completed.
b. Existing interior improvements identified to remain; we will physically locate all aspects
of these elements within the building shell and as constructed relative to adjacent fixed
structural elements to remain to provide as accurate a drawing for these portions of
the building as possible. .
c. Existing interior improvements identified to be demolished; we will visually review the
existing construction and properly depict the floor plan as it exists today without
physically verifying location and size of aQY of the elements in detail as they will be
removed from the building.
d. Existing primary equipment to be removed; we will generally identify the location and
footprint of existing equipment and other elements that require special handling or
provisions as part of the demolition package as single line elements on the
documents. We will add notes to the final documents to describe the nature of the
element and the contractor's obligations during the demolition phase.
e. Existing utility lines to remain; we will utilize the existing documents and visible on site
data to document the existing on site utility lines and connections that must remain in
place and functional throughout the demolition phase of work. We will add notes on
the final documents to describe the nature of the element and the contractor's
obligations during the demolition phase. .
5. Phase II - Abatement / Demolition and TI Documents: following the completion of the
Phase I creation of an accurate as-built document for the building, we will generate two
sets of permit documents for the project. One set will address the abatement and
demolition for the existing building. We will review these documents and walk the site with
the Owner to perform a final verification of all building elements that are required to be
salvaged and stockpiled on site for the Owner to reuse for future improvement work. We
will generate a second permit set for the interior improvements that will house the
transitional staff office space and adjacent open storage area for the Maintenance Staff.
Consulting Services Agreement between
City of Dublin and Dahlin Group--Exhibit A. 1
Page 2 of 5
For both permit packages, we will generate both drawings and 8-1/2 x 11 book type
specifications for the construction requirements of the work for the Owner to put out for
competitive public bid. We will work with the Owner to obtain all necessary permits and
jurisdictional approvals for the permit packages. The Owner is responsible for all required
permit applications and payment of all associated fees in conjunction with the undertaking
of this work. No conceptual cost estimating work will be generated with this phase of work.
6. . Phase III - Biddinq and Neqotiation: following the completion of the permit documents, we
will assist the Owner in the bid process for each package. The Owner may decide to
bundle or split these packages for bid at their discretion. The scope of services includes
the working with the Owner to review and respond to any questions received by qualified
contractors during this period and the preparation of addenda which will be issued by the
Owner or their Construction Manager. Architect shall provide the Owner a complete plot
set of full size electronic drawing files and one electronic set of 8% inch by 11-inch Project
specifications for bid purposes (Adobe PDF format). The Owner will use the electronic
plan set drawings and project specifications only for record documentation.
7. Phase IV - Construction Administration: The Architect shall provide basic construction
support services to the Owner during the demolition and new construction phases of work.
We will respond to reaso~able questions presented in writing when directed by the Owner
or their Construction Manager. We have included time to attend four site meetings during
this phase of work to discuss issues and tasks directly with the Owner, their Construction
Manager, and the Contractor at the commencement of demolition activities, and as the
Contractor is concluding this process to review work.

Dear Ms. Lichtenstein:
In accordance with our understanding of your plan to demolish the interior of
the existing building at the above referenced site (the" subject building"),
ERM-West, Inc. (ERM) is pleased to submit this proposal to the City of Dublin,
Parks and Facilities Development Division for a Pre-Demolition Survey of the
former National Food Lab Building. The tasks specific to this proposal are as
follows:
· To perform an on-site review of the existing asbestos survey report with
confirmation bulk sampling for asbestos if warranted;
· Perform additional destructive inspections within walls and under top
layers of flooring for hidden suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACMs);
· Perform lead paint sampling; and
· Wipe sampling within laboratory fume hoods and associated ducting for
California Assessment Manual (CAM) 17 metals and volatile organic
compounds (VOCs); and inventories of potentially hazardous building
materials that may require special handling or disposal, or alerting
renovation or demolition workers.

consist of:
II Sampling and testing of suspect ACM;
.. Sampling and testing of suspect lead-containing paint (LCP);
e Wipe sampling within fume hoods and associated ducting and testing for
CAM 17 metals;
e Wipe sampling within fume hoods and associated ducting and testing for
VOCs;
.. Visual assessment to identify polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) containing
fluorescent light ballasts and mercury containing fluorescent light tubes and
lamps;
" Visual assessment to identify mercury containing thermostat switches;
e Visual assessment to identify other universal wastes, including, but not
limited to batteries, high intensity discharge lamps, and electronic devices;
and
G Inventory of equipment that may contain refrigerants or other hazardous
materials.
No sub-slab or below surface investigations, or testing for mercury or PCBs are
proposed as part of this scope of work.
PURPOSE
The results of the asbestos survey will be used to support compliance with the
Division of Occupational Safety and Health Association (Cal/OSHA) worker
protection regulations, federal National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAPs), and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District
(BAAQMD) Regulation 11 Hazardous Pollutants, Rule 2, Asbestos Demolition.
The lead paint samples, CAM 17 wipe samples and VOCs wipe samples would
provide information to assist with building demolition planning. The visual
inspection for PCB-containing fluorescent light ballasts, mercury-containing
lamps and switches, other universal wastes, and equipment possibly containing
refrigerant or stored chemicals is to provide information to assist with waste
.handling, disposal, and/ or recycling.

** FOURTH DRAFT PROPOSAL **
Geotechnical Engineering Services
Proposed Alameda County Fire Department Operation Center
Clark Avenue
Dublin, California
Dear Ms. Lichtenstein:
We are pleased to submit this proposal to provide geotechnical engineering services during
design and construction of the proposed Alameda County Fire Department Operation Center in
Dublin, California. The site (former National Food Laboratories, Inc. site) is located at the
southeast corner of Clark Avenue and Dublin Boulevard. This proposal has been prepared based
on our discussion with you, a brief review of the architect plans (dated January 25, 2011)
prepared by BSA Architects, a brief site visit and our experience in the area.
The site,is presently occupied by four connected 1 to 4-story buildings, paved parking areas,
driveways, and landscaped areas. The existing ground surface of the site is relatively flat. A
flood control channel is located along the east side ofthe site.
Based on our discussion with you and as shown on the BSA Architects' plans, we understand
that the existing buildings would be remodeled, upgraded and converted into an operation center
for the Alameda County Fire Department. A new covered steam wash bay and associated wash
water recycling system, and a fueling station are also proposed along the eastern property limit,
east of the existing building group.
Details of building loads are not available at this time. Fire truck traffic is anticipated on the
concrete slab-on-grade floor of the future fire truck repair bays as well as the existing pavement
areas around the existing buildings. New pavement areas are proposed east and south of the
existing building group. Additional parking areas are also planned along south, west and north.
sides of the existing office building and near the northwest comer of the site. As indicated by
you, most ofthe existing underground utilities will be saved and re-use, and relatively minor new
underground utilities are anticipated. Minor grading is anticipated for the proposed
improvements.

mounted hollow stem drill rig;
5. Laboratory testing including moisture content, dry density, Atterberg limits, gradation,
unconfined compression and/or corrosion tests, as appropriate; and
6. Engineering analyses.
We would summarize our [mdings, conclusions and recommendations for the proposed operation
center at the site in a formal report containing the following information:
1. Vicinity map;
2. Site plan, showing the locations ofthe borings;
3. Boring logs and laboratory test results; and
4. Text, including:
A. Findings regarding site soil and groundwater conditions as encountered in the
borings;
B. Discussion of site seismicity and faulting;
C. Discussion of site liquefaction potential;
D. Discussion of seismic design parameters per the 2010 California Building Code; and
E. Geotechnical recommendations for site preparation and grading, building
foundations, concrete slab-on-grade, soil corrosion considerations, underground
utility installation, and preliminary pavement sections.
During the course of our investigation, we would consult with you regarding our [mdings. The bore
holes would be backfilled with soil cutting after the completion of drilling and sampling.

The time estimate for our services is not exact because many factors during construction (i.e.,
construction schedule, contractor's rate of progress, weather, and actual subsurface conditions
encountered) are beyond our control. The above cost estimate does not include charges for
observations and retesting during the repair of unsatisfactory work performed by the contractor.
We have assumed an 8-hour day and a five-day week (Monday through Friday); overtime will
result in extra costs. In addition, the above cost estimate does not include show-up time when
our field technician is scheduled for the project and the contractor cancels work without adequate
notice. We have a three-hour minimum charge for show-up time. Should such charges be.
incurred, they will be billed to you but could be itemized if requested. We will keep you advised
of our job charges by issuing monthly progress billings and will inform you of any changed
condition that might significantly affect our total fee.
If you have;'any questions regarding our fees or scope of services, please do not hesitate to call
us. If this proposal meets your approval, please provide a City of Dublin contract to us as the
authorization of our work. We anticipate that field exploration and laboratory testing will take
about 2 to 3 weeks. We would issue our geotechnical investigation report about 3 to 4weeks after
the field exploration. Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your needs.
