Dear Turtle Rock LLC,
The Yarmouth Conservation Commission are in receipt of your Stormwater Permit Application for 186
& 212 Mid Tech Drive, Yarmouth, submitted under Town of Yarmouth By-law Chapter 145 on
September 1, 2022. As of this date, September 7, 2022, your application is deemed administratively
complete.
The Conservation Commission has sought peer review services to assist with review of the
application. The Commission plans to engage consultant TRC Companies, INC, to provide this
service. The scope of work and the associated costs are detailed in the attached proposal for your
information.
Please submit $ 2,600 in full to the Town of Yarmouth within ten (10) business days of this notice.
The fee must be received prior to the initiation of consulting services. Funds received pursuant to
M.G.L. Ch. 44 §53G shall be deposited with the Town of Yarmouth Treasurer, who shall establish a
special account for this purpose. The Commission may request additional fees if review requires
larger expenditure than originally anticipated or new information requires additional consultant
services.
The consultant has committed to having review comments available on or about September 28, 2022,
if they are authorized to begin work by September 9th, 2022. To authorize the review, the peer review
funds must be submitted to the Town. This timeline would allow for the application to be scheduled for
the October 6, 2022, Conservation Commission meeting.
If you have any questions, please call me at (508) 398-2231 ext. 1288 or bdirienzo@yarmouth.ma.us.

Re: Proposal for Technical Stormwater Peer Review
212 Mid Tech Drive
Yarmouth, MA
TRC Proposal No. 510575.9990.0000
Dear Ms. DiRienzo,
TRC Engineers, Inc (TRC), provides this proposal for professional consulting services in response to your
September 2, 2022 email request. Our proposal describes our proposed approach to completing the peer review,
deliverables, and our proposed compensation for the services to be provided.
Scope of Work
Based on the application documents provided to TRC on September 2, 2022, the Conservation Commission’s
objectives, and the requested scope of work described in the “Request for On-Call Services”, dated May 26, 2021,
as well as on our experience with providing similar professional service, ESS proposes the following approach.
TASK 1: INITIAL TECHNICAL STORMWATER PEER REVIEW
TRC will provide a technical stormwater peer review of the Stormwater Management Permit Application prepared
by Baxter Nye Engineering & Surveying submitted to the Commission on August 31, 2022 and provided to TRC on
September 2, 2022. The review will include:
• Review for technically complete application –incomplete/inaccurate information needed to review the
application will be identified.
• Determination as to whether the proposed plans/BMPs meet the Stormwater Management Regulations,
effective July 1, 2021.
• Identification of items to be modified for compliance.
• Recommended permit conditions, if applicable.
• A comment letter summarizing the findings of the review. The letter will be addressed to the Conservation
Commission (via the Conservation Administrator), and copied to the Town Engineer.
Deliverables:
A single comment letter provided in PDF format.
TASK 2: ADDITIONAL REVIEWS AND CONSULTATION SERVICES
TRC will review additional submissions and responses to comments as requested. TRC will provide additional
consultation services such as phone calls, meetings, public hearings, written correspondence, additional revisions,
etc. as requested by the Conservation Commission.

Schedule
TRC is prepared to begin work on this scope of work immediately upon execution of a contract with the Town of
Yarmouth. Assuming that written notice to proceed is provided to TRC by September 9, 2022, TRC anticipates
completing the scope of services described herein on or about September 28, 2022.
TRC will keep the Town apprised of significant findings throughout the project. TRC is not responsible for delays in
performance caused by circumstances beyond our control, or which could not have reasonably been anticipated or
prevented.
Assumptions
The proposed compensation described in this proposal is predicated on the Scope of Work described above and
the following assumptions:
TRC will assume that all information provided to TRC by others is complete and accurate.
Conditions may be revealed during the Project that were unknown during preparation of this proposal. Such
conditions may require additional services to be performed.
To reduce costs and impacts to the environment associated with paper deliverables, TRC deliverables will be
provided in PDF format unless otherwise noted.
In the event that changes in policy or regulations of agencies having jurisdiction or changes in COVID-19 related
restrictions occur after the date of this agreement, and such changes require additional office or field work, the
additional work will be completed as an additional service on a time and materials basis.
Compensation
The following table presents TRC’s proposed compensation for its services for this project. TRC proposes to
perform the Scope of Services on a time-and-materials basis. The total estimated cost to provide the services
described in this proposal is $2,600. Should the Town request TRC to make changes in the services or to perform
additional services, TRC will prepare a Change Order for the Town’s acceptance prior to execution of the work.
Task Est. Labor Hours Cost Estimate
Task 1: Initial Technical Stormwater Peer Review 12 $2,600
Task 2: Additional Reviews And Consultation Services As Requested --
Totals 12 $2,600
The time and materials cost for the services provided above is an estimate and actual incurred costs may vary from
this estimate depending on a variety of factors. TRC will provide notification if we expect incurred costs will exceed
15% of the estimate.
Time expended providing services, including travel time, will be charged, unless otherwise specified above.
Associated subconsultant and other direct costs (travel expenses, copies, etc.) will be treated as reimbursable
expenses and will be invoiced on a Time and Materials basis at the rates specified on the enclosed Rate Schedule.
Any time or costs associated with compliance with COVID-19 related protocols or orders will be invoiced as an
additional service on a Time and Materials basis.
