VL4 OVERNIGHT DELIVERY
Dear Mr. Meyer:
Enclosed please find a completed response to the Joint State -Warren County
PCB Landfill Working Group's Request For Proposal, and related informational
materials.
As you will note, ECO has specialized since its inception in assisting community
groups nationwide with the difficult challenges presented by a variety of waste
management. This has allowed us to develop an expertise with the relevant regulations
and technical issues, while concurrently refining the ability to make technical
information accessible to a general audience. An additional benefit of our professional
concentration on public and community projects is that there is never a possibility of
conflict of interest which might impair complete advocacy of our citizen clients.
As you know, everyone at ECO is well versed with the Warren County situation
and we are looking forward to the opportunity to provide the Working Group with
assistance towards ensuring the safest, most effective and comprehensive remediation of
the site possible. I am available at your convenience to further discuss our qualifications,
or to more explicitly answer any outstanding questions. I look forward hearing from you
in this regard, and to working with you in the future.

II. MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
The Environmental Compliance Organization (ECO) believes that
solutions to the hybrid technical/legal challenges presented by projects such as
the Warren County PCB landfill remediation requires a multi-disciplinary
approach.
In keeping with this philosophy, ECO has assembled a team of
highly qualified professionals in the fields of engineering, nuclear waste
management, biology, chemistry, toxicology, economics, education, planning
and law, in order to fulfill and exceed the primary requirements of the Warren
County Science Advisory position, and any other ancillary needs that may arise in
successfully completing this project.
ECO proposes to utilize this unique combination of technical and
regulatory compliance talent in a balanced "team" approach to this project,
thereby providing the highest standard of competence, in conjunction with service
that is time and cost effective.

VII. PERFORMANCE
ECO has a company policy stating that all work performed pursuant to an
estimate or contract price will be completed and billed at or below the estimate, unless
the scope of work or contract period is extended.
Pursuant to this policy, ECO has completed 100% of projects undertaken since
the formation of the company on schedule at or under proiected cost.
ECO, formed in 1989, is a relatively new company. However, as noted in key
staff resumes, all of ECO's senior management staff have directed major environmental
programs and grants at a variety of federal facilities. The ECO team proposed for this
contract, has over 90 years direct experience, and demonstrable success in working with
federal sites, agencies, procurement and accounting systems.

VIII. AVAILABILITY
A. Ability To Complete Work
ECO's senior management team includes a contract Administrator responsible for
scheduling projects and man hours. Prior to responding to any proposal or contract
request, the Contract Administrator estimates or receives an estimate of man hours
potentially required. This estimate is compared with a computer logged calendar of work
commitments, and a determination is made as to whether ECO can fairly offer
accessibility of all staff to our potential clients. Therefore, no proposal responses or
commitments to perform work are ever made without first ensuring that senior staff will
be available to complete the assignment.
ECO's multi~disciplinary approach to project management, as well as our system
of designating Project Officers to specific contracts, ensures that work for all clients will
proceed in a cost and time expedient manner. ECO can offer the advantage of a highly
experienced and capable Senior Management Staff, fully accustomed to working under
and meeting deadlines. All ECO staff members have at least 5 years siinificant
exJJerience in the areas of primary work assignment, and are able to perform tasks with
maximum speed, competence and efficiency.

B. Available Staff
In addition to offering staff with comprehensive. experience with Superfund
site remediation, relevant methodology and technologies and community outreach, ECO
has complementary staff available with expertise in RCRA, CW A, NEPA, NPDES,
TSCA and OSHA. The availability of support divisions allows ECO to provide
comprehensive assistance to our clients, even in circumstances where the required tasks
exceed the originally proposed work.
All staff employed by ECO have a minimum of five years direct experience in
their positions, thereby adding breadth to the experience of the senior staff. ECO's
emphasis on hiring only highly qualified staff members, along with our multi-
disciplinary approach allows us to provide a consistently timely work product, regardless
of personnel changes which may occur.
