Collins Sol. No. 7172 Chemical Spill Clean -Up Dear Sir or Madam: Envlosed you will find the Technical and Cost proposals in response to the above referenced Solicitation. AET has prepared its proposal to be responsibe to every detail of the requested Performance requirements. Please do not hesitate to call me at 303-333-8521 should you have questions or require further information. Sincerely, Lori M. DeVito, PhD President %� !/�ti✓kna71`i £ Ai i f-A,viKa�vw�-e,"r-7 have included asbestos removals and the decontamination of houses and facilities after they have been compromised by clandestine methamphetamine drug laboratories. In addition, AET is a certified lead renovation company --EPA Certification No. NAT-70688-1. However, other AET projects have included some of the most dangerous chemicals to handle, the neutralization and detonation of research chemicals such as ethers and picric acids that have deteriorated to a reactive/explosive condition. In each case, AET has provided guidance, based on interpretations from state agencies and developed project work plans that allow for the safe and risk -free neutralization or detonation and removal of these chemicals as DOT Class 4.1 materials. AET has also provided for the safe removal and shipment of organic peroxides and other materials with a self -accelerated decomposition temperature (SADT) of less than 500 C. Examples of these organic peroxides and self - reactive materials can be found in 49 CFR173.224-225. These materials are shipped following the provisions of 49 CFR 173.211 which include determining the control and emergency temperature for the specific material, refrigeration of the material using dry ice, and the continuous monitoring of the container temperature using a visual and audible remote warning device. AET has also provided for the safe packaging, removal, transportation, and disposal of other explosives, such as line splice explosives for the Western Area Power Association and others. AET has an exemption, which allows us to ship pipe bombs and small quantities of explosives with pipe caps with other hazardous materials. This experience would save the City significant money in transportation in that there is no need to contract for an exclusive use shipment. Subcontractors Treatment Storage and Disposal Facilities AET has selected the following TSDFs as its partnering facilities. AET's criteria are very stringent and are based on the firms' compliance history, financial surety, service offering, customer service and pricing. AET believes that it has assembled a cadre of TSDFs that are most advantageous to the City. AET audits each of its partnering TSDFs on a biennial basis to ensure compliance with permit and state requirements. These reports are available to the City at any time upon request.

Highlights of AET's performance for the USGS are the following: • During 2007-2008 period one of AET's priorities was to ensure that NWQL had the most accurate information possible regarding the amount and type of chemicals in inventory at each of the labs. This quality information was imperative in order for NWQL to plan in the safest manner possible for the event of emergencies or natural disasters. AET's water quality field chemist worked side by side with NWQL's subcontractor Chem SW in order to "debug" the system and the software to make it user friendly and to ensure that quality information could be both entered and retrieved from the system, thus contributing to the successful implementation of the chemical inventory program. JSSeptember2010-17t. Collins Use or disclosure of data contained on this page is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal • Currently AET assists in the administration of the chemical inventory system (CIS). The risk of having explosive peroxide forming compounds on site at Building 95 has been greatly reduced due to the effective implementation and maintenance of the CIS tracking system. • AET has assisted Safety Health and Environment Team at NWQL in its mission to be a liaison with all other departments at the NWQL. As a global department with a global mission, the SHE team works independently. With AET supporting that independence, the work place has been safer and minimal time lost due to unforeseeable accidents. • AET has provided highly skilled personnel for waste characterization in each area, insuring that the process for waste characterization is accomplished with the highest degree of accuracy. Specific protocols for waste characterization and strict adherence to those protocols has lead to streamlining the process with the highest degree of accuracy and quality assurance. Directly attributable to the high technical qualifications of AET personnel is the fact that NWQL has experienced NO incidences of cross contamination and NO safety violations. • AET has upgraded personnel (compared to the prior contractor) to personnel that possess a depth of technical knowledge and expertise in the subject matter most relevant to NWQL. These personnel include several chemical engineers with PhDs and/or certifications by the Institute of Hazardous Materials Management (CHMMs) with 30 years of experience in systems design, process design, and RCRA regulations; a project manager with high degree of skill in water treatment methods and methodologies, including Colorado certification for Class A Industrial Waste Water Treatment Operator and current design work for a water treatment operation at a dairy farm in Mexico; field chemists also certified by the Institute of Hazardous Materials; technical ASeptember 2010-Ft. Collins writing specialist with subject matter experience in writing statements of work, geology, sampling plans, and natural resource damage assessment. AET has diligently matched its personnel resources to the job requirements for USGS. • At no additional cost to the Government and directly attributable to the high technical expertise of its personnel, AET has investigated, researched, and reported on several industrial hygiene issues (ventilation energy efficiency and radon) that have arisen over the past few years. • During the tenure of this contract there have been 0% lapses in regulatory compliance with regard to RCRA, DOT, CWA and USDA soils regulations. • AET successfully conducts the daily operation, maintenance, and calibration of NWQL's wastewater equipment. AET designed an integral part of the NWQL's pH adjustment system last year. NWQL has received the Metro Wastewater Platinum awards for the 51h straight year in a row due in large part to the performance of AET. • AET has streamlined the profiling process for waste disposal so that removal has been reduced to 5 days from the 7 day expectation described by the government. This leads to a safer environment in that hazardous waste is removed from the site more quickly for 95% of the waste streams at no additional cost to the government.. • AET personnel are fully able to interpret environmental regulations, and this has greatly benefited NWQL's compliance efforts. AET has successfully generated regulatory reports for NWQL such as Metro Wastewater Periodic Compliance Report and EPA Biennial Hazardous Waste Report at no additional cost to the Government. • AET established and maintains a multi -tier system of quality control checks to ensure the quality of work provided to NWQL.

VISA AND MASTER CARD ACCEPTED Recently, AET managed the disposal of approximately 30% of the biology sample library. This represents over 40 cabinets and tens of thousands of biological samples packed in ethanol and formalin. The project was completed on time and within budget. AET's longevity (17 years) as a small business in this region pays additional dividends when it comes to the company's knowledge of the expertise and specializations of other small business firms. When additional expertise was required in natural resource damage assessment due to the British Petroleum Horizon oil spill, AET was able to identify a highly qualified technical subcontractor with expertise in natural resource damage assessment and defensible sampling procedures to write the post landfall sampling protocols. AET's service in emergency response is evidenced by a recent after hours call in response to a spill at 6:45 p.m. NET response technician arrived at NWQL within 30 minutes. A stream of liquid appeared to be emitting from a chiller in one of the laboratories. These chillers are a critical laboratory device to provide cooling for analytical instrumentation. Based on the type of equipment and after placing a call to AET's project chemist and engineer and reviewing the types of chemicals and hazardous materials contained within the chiller, the response technician determined that the material was a non -hazardous glycol and water mixture. The leak was cleaned up. The response technician further assessed and determined that the leak could be coming from an internal or external hose with a faulty connection. He traced the leak back to the faulty hose connection, gathered the proper tools to tighten the connection, and did so. This action benefited NWQL in that it avoided the need for maintenance personnel to be called.

Our QAP is a 3-phase plan: • Phase I includes all planning for routine and non -routine activities; • Phase II includes daily field inspections of performance for quality control; • Phase III encompasses periodic inspections to ensure continuity and a final quality control report. The benefit of this QAP is that we continually get better over time. We save valuable time and money from future projects with similar technical requirements because we have an established quality report protocol that includes the lessons we have learned. Thus, these lessons are passed on to the next similar technical project team. The AET's Project Manager will serve as the On -Site Quality Control Supervisor and will be responsible for ensuring that the performance objectives for this contract are clearly communicated to site personnel, that checklists (as applicable) are developed and readily available to personnel, and that routine inspections/audits are performed and documentation of results are forwarded to AET's Program Manager, Frank Virginia, who will be providing oversight of the Project's QC activities. Ms. DeVito will communicate frequently with City personnel to ensure mutual understanding ofthe City's expectations. I.SSeptember2010-Ft.
