East Riding of Yorkshire Council County Hall Beverley HU17 9BA For the attention of Mr Stephen Silvester Inward Investment Project Manager OUR REF YOUR REF HP 12 J0007 SLT/1 6 December 2012 PDH Dear Sirs King George Dock to Paull Road-Rail Corridor Concept Design Fee Proposal This fee proposal has been prepared at the request of East Riding of Yorkshire Council and Hull City Council to prepare and evaluate a concept design for a road rail corridor between King George Dock at the Port of Hull and the development site between Saltend and the village of Paull. The scheme which covers an area of just under 3.5ha, is 2,190m long and is shown on the enclosed drawing 12/DEC/174. The object of the concept design is to confirm the viability of the scheme from a technical, consenting and cost perspective in order to support any future application for grant aid. To achieve this objective four work streams have been identified which are an Engineering concept design, preliminary Site Investigation (geotechnical and land quality), Screening Assessment for environmental impacts and a scheme Cost Plan. Four separate specialist consultants have been selected for this work that have either been directly involved with the development site LDO environmental impact assessment or the development of the Green Port Hull project and who therefore have a detailed knowledge of the area and project and will be able to ensure consistency in approach and integration with these projects. Details of these consultants and their CV’s are enclosed. Proposals have been received from each of these consultants, which are enclosed with this letter, and summarised into a table detailing three options. The rationale for these options is to show the extent of work necessary to develop a scheme to fully designed tender stage and then to select a partial element of this work for the concept design. Option three therefore represents the fully developed scheme and options one and two intermediate stages. This will ensure that all work produced will be of benefit after it’s initial purpose in that it can be further developed into a full successful scheme and also to ensure that the work is robust in it’s findings. The full details of

all the options are given here for completeness, however it is only Option 1 that is recommended to fulfil the current objective at a cost of £69,850 plus VAT. It is anticipated that if the work is commissioned prior to the year end, a completed report would be available by 31st March 2013. I hope that this proposal is of interest and would be pleased to provide any additional information required. Yours sincerely

Laura Morrish Associated British Ports PO Box 1 Port House Northern Gateway Hull HU9 5PQ Our Ref: Port of Hull Road/Rail Your Ref: Dear Laura Proposal – Technical Environmental Services for Port of Hull Road (and Possibly Rail) Link URS is pleased to provide technical environmental services to support an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) screening opinion request to Hull City Council and East Riding of Yorkshire Council in relation to the Port of Hull road (and possibly rail) link to the Paull Local Development Order (LDO) site. The scope of services we anticipate to be required are set out below, followed by a fee proposal.
Scope of Services We propose the following technical studies/ notes to support the EIA screening opinion request:
1. Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey Report including o desk-based investigation, o site survey by an experienced ecologist in accordance with standard methodology, o mapping, and o identification of any further survey requirements or ecological constraints to construction
and/or operation;
2. Water Quality Technical Note comprising o desk-based study to identify relevant waterbodies (surface and ground water) and
potential impacts due to construction and/or operation, and o identification of any particular constraints to the development and appropriate impact
avoidance measures (e.g. construction working practices);
3. Archaeological Desk Based Assessment comprising o Historic Environment Record (HER) search, o review of available historic maps, geological information (such as British Geological
Survey maps), borehole logs etc. (we understand that a Phase I Geoenvironmental Study is being undertaken, and would request a copy of this report and associated Envirocheck report to inform the archaeological study) in order to undertake a modern disturbance review, and
o identification of any particular areas of archaeological interest and any further evaluation work that may be required;
Page: 2 of 4
4. Noise and Vibration Technical Note including
o identification of the closest noise-sensitive receptors (we assume there are no vibration-sensitive residential receptors, but would advise ABP to check there are none at Salt End),
o if necessary, quantitative noise level predictions (without modelling) for the closest receptor(s) will be made using available baseline noise data from other Port of Hull related projects in the area (gathered by URS) and road and rail traffic predictions (provided by JMP and ABP), and
o identification of appropriate impact avoidance measures (e.g. construction working practices);
5. Air Quality Technical Note including o identification of the closest air pollutant and dust sensitive receptors, o qualitative consideration of construction effects and operational traffic effects, using
available data from other Port of Hull related projects in the area, JMP and ABP (as per the noise assessment described above), and
o identification of appropriate impact avoidance measures (e.g. construction working practices).
Note that we have not allowed for any ‘off site’ road or rail impact assessment, on the assumption that road traffic on the link road will have no impact on the public highway and additional rail flows related to the rail link will be very low in the context of the total rail traffic using the Hull Docks Branch Line. No built heritage issues have been identified that require consideration so we not included any built heritage study. The closest receptor is Marfleet Conservation Area but it is considered that there is no potential for impacts. The transport assessment work undertaken for the Paull LDO Integrated Environmental Assessment has made assumptions on the volume of Heavy Goods Vehicle traffic likely to use the road link to the Port of Hull during peak hours, and this information will be provided. The transport assessment also assumed all Abnormal Loads between the Port of Hull and the LDO site would travel via the link road, but these were not quantified. We would suggest ABP would be best placed to identify the number of Abnormal Loads likely to use the new road link, if required, and also to identify the likely rail traffic flows on the new rail link, and any other road traffic that may use the road link (e.g. anticipated construction traffic flows including to/from public highways, and operational non-HGV traffic). We have therefore not included any allowance for JMP to provide any technical input to the EIA screening. As discussed, we have not allowed for any consideration of flood risk matters. As the development is over 1 ha a Flood Risk Assessment will be required to support the planning application, but is not considered to be necessary at this stage for EIA screening. The EIA screening will need to consider impacts on Public Rights of Way, but we have assumed you do not require any support on this matter. Fee Proposal The estimated fee required for the work described above is £9,200 plus VAT (charged at the prevailing rate). This is a ceiling fee – time will be charged in accordance with the hourly rates set out in Table 1 below. The ceiling fee includes an allowance for reasonably anticipated expenses (e.g. HER search fees) and time/ expenses for Neil Stephenson to attend up to two meetings at the Port of Hull.

liability if any of the Consultant under or in connection
with the Agreement whether in contract or in tort, in
negligence, for breach of statutory duty or otherwise for
any claim which may arise out of or in connection with
terrorism matters is excluded.

being the Client’s visitors and the Consultant shall not be
deemed to have assumed the role of occupier, or
otherwise to have assumed control of or responsibility for
the Site or any persons on it.
11.2 In undertaking any physical site works the Consultant shall
take reasonable care to minimise damage to property,
including underground services and other sub-surface
obstructions notified to the Consultant (in writing) as
being the likely position of underground services or other
obstructions.

the Consultant shall, unless the Client instructs otherwise
in writing, be backfilled with excavated material and
compacted as far as is practicable using the excavation
plant. Surplus spoil shall be heaped over the excavation
and left in a tidy condition before the Consultant leaves
site. The Consultant may dispose of drilling samples and
other test specimens, if any, upon the expiry of 28 days
after the Client has received the Consultant’s report.
11.4 To the extent the Services include reporting on ground
conditions:- the Consultant's work shall be based solely
on the soil and groundwater conditions revealed in
boreholes and excavations supplemented by site and
laboratory test results; records of water levels shall not be
taken as equilibrium conditions unless specifically noted;
and an absence of water level observations may
indicate that the hole has been sealed off by casing or
the presence of low permeability strata and does not
necessarily indicate that water is not present.
12 SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION
12.1 If the Client fails to pay the Consultant in full any amount
properly due and payable under this Agreement by the
final date for payment the Consultant (without prejudice
to its other rights and remedies) may suspend
performance of the Agreement at its sole discretion and
upon prior written notice until payment in full of the
amount due or, if the Agreement is a “construction
contract” for the purposes of Section 104 of the Housing
Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (as
amended), suspend its performance of the Agreement
until payment in full of the Notified Sum after giving the
Client not less than seven (7) days notice in writing of the
same specifying the grounds for so doing,
12.2 Any period during which the Consultant’s performance is
suspended in pursuance of, or in consequence of the
exercise of, its right to suspend its performance shall be
disregarded in computing for the purposes of any
contractual time limit the time taken by the Consultant,
or any of the Consultant’s sub-contractors, to complete
any Services directly or indirectly affected by the exercise
of such right. The Client shall also be liable for any
reasonable amount in respect of costs and expenses
reasonably incurred by the Consultant as a result of such
suspension.
12.3 Either party may terminate performance of the
Agreement (a) at any time by giving not less than one
month's written notice to the other (b) by written notice to
the other if, within two weeks of receipt of a written
notice identifying a material breach of the Agreement by
the other, the other has not taken all reasonable steps to
rectify such breach or (c) immediately upon written
notice to the other in the event of the insolvency of the
other. In the Agreement "insolvency" shall be defined by
reference to Sections 113(2), 113(3), 113(4) and 113(5) of
the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act
1996 (as amended).
12.4 If circumstances arise for which the Consultant is not
responsible and which the Consultant considers make it
irresponsible for the Consultant to perform all or any part
of the Services the Consultant shall be entitled to
terminate the appointment or discontinue performance
of any part by giving not less than two weeks' written
notice (or immediate notice in the event of an
emergency).
12.5 Termination of the Consultant's appointment under the
Agreement shall not prejudice or affect the accrued
rights or claims of either party.
13 PERSONNEL
The Client shall not solicit (and shall procure that no
parent company or subsidiary of the Client solicits) the
services of any employee officer or director of the
Consultant without the prior written consent of the
Consultant during the term of the Agreement or for the
period of six months after the termination of the
Agreement. If during such period any such employee
officer or director of the Consultant accepts an offer of
employment made by the Client as a result of an
introduction in the course of the Agreement, the Client
shall pay to the Consultant a sum equivalent to six months
gross salary (plus bonuses) of the person concerned.
14 DISPUTES
Any dispute shall, in the first instance, be referred to the
respective Chief Executive of the Client and the
Consultant who shall attempt, in good faith, to resolve the
matter. Each party shall have the right to refer any
dispute to adjudication in accordance with the
Construction Industry Council Model Adjudication
Procedure current at the time of referral.
15 GENERAL
15.1 The Client shall not, without the written consent of the
Consultant assign or transfer any benefit or obligation
under the Agreement. The Consultant shall be free to
sub-let performance of part or all of the Services. For the
avoidance of doubt agency staff seconded to or
engaged by the Consultant shall not be deemed to be
sub-consultants.

SYNOPSIS
With 20 years experience of environmental management, Neil presents a breadth of professional knowledge throughout the consenting and environmental assessment process of most development categories. This includes coordinating a wide range of Environmental Impact Assessments and subsequent Environmental Statements, Strategic EIA, Sustainability Appraisals of master-plans and Appropriate Assessment under the Habitat Regulations, in addition to undertaking specialist survey, assessment, construction site supervision and monitoring works. He has experience of numerous applications under the Town and Country Planning Regulations, in addition to Order applications under the Transport and Works and Harbour Revision Acts, and of applications made under the Infrastructure Planning Commission.
Neil has been an Expert Witness at several Public Inquiries, presented at planning committees, and routinely negotiates with statutory advisors and other stakeholders or objectors. He is experienced in public exhibitions, and addressing the concerns of neighbouring land owners.
Recent projects have included the new construction and upgrading of major rail, airports, ports and highways infrastructure, together with a range of assessments of light rail transport systems, minor road schemes, drought orders and mineral, commercial, industrial and residential development.
In addition to being a Project Director for environment and consenting related projects, Neil routinely manages and coordinates environmental schemes, and is experienced in the evaluation and interpretation of specialist survey and reports associated with the planning process. He is comfortable managing large teams of people and being responsible for complicated project programmes and budgets. He integrates well with both design and construction specialists, in addition to the technical environmental disciplines with whom he works on a daily basis.
As well as representing developers, Neil and his team regularly provide services to local authorities. This includes providing independent environmental and planning advice for large-scale or contentious applications, preparing screening and scoping opinions on a routine basis, and critically reviewing Environmental Statements, but also, for example, includes preparing assessments in support of Local Development Orders as part of Enterprise Zones
Prior to joining URS in 1995, Neil worked at the National Rivers Authority (now the Environment Agency) and for the Institute of Hydrology and the Institute of Freshwater Ecology. As a Technical Director within URS, Neil now uses his experience to provide both technical and commercial management to major projects, and to help advise and support staff working on them. He can provide a single point of contact with clients, undertake reviews of work by third parties, and coordinate wider ecological and environmental contributions.
SELECTED PROFESSIONAL HISTORY
Port Development
Neil is the Project Director for a framework agreement with Hull City Council, which has most recently involved undertaking the environmental assessment and other supporting documents for a Local Development Order (as part of a regional Enterprise Zone initiative) to attract business and employment into several areas of Hull Ports.
Neil was responsible for the Hull River Bulk Handling Terminal (Associated British Ports), where in addition to being the Project Director, he provided specialist environmental and ecological input, EIA coordination and ES production associated with the Harbour Revision Order for the proposed Hull River Bulk Handling Terminal in the Humber Estuary.
Neil has also been closely involved in the Hartlepool ‘Ghost Ships’ (Hartlepool Borough Council). This project required specialist independent advice regarding permission and regulation to dismantle former US warships following High Court intervention, including making representations at Planning Committee Meetings, designing and managing the implementation of specialist surveys to monitor Natura 2000 bird populations on

adjacent estuary mudflats during sensitive operations, addressing effects upon the safety and operation of a neighbouring nuclear power station, and being responsible for both the monitoring and regular audits of the dismantling site itself. The project has involved detailed liaison with numerous statutory consultees.
Neil is the Project Director for the Green Port Hull development (ABP) on the Humber Estuary. This project will involve the reclamation of land for use in the manufacture and distribution of off-shore wind turbines by Siemens.
Other marine and estuarine projects to which Neil has contributed include the Mersey Tidal Power project (Peel) where Neil provided specialist services to the evaluation and assessment process. Different options were considered in detail, including comparisons of scales of impact and compensation required with predicted yields of energy.
Airport Development
Neil contributed to the management, coordination and implementation of a wide variety of environmental roles over more than 11 years of development at Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield (formerly RAF Finningley), ranging from pre-feasibility appraisals, public consultation, the environmental assessment process, to production of the Environmental Statement. After assisting during the public inquiry, and planning permission was subsequently granted, Neil was closely involved in ensuring planning conditions were appropriately discharged. Neil continued work on the Airport’s development after it opened, providing specialist environmental advice during the development of an Airport Masterplan and its accompanying Sustainability Appraisal. More recently, commissions have been related to development of airside facilities and other infrastructure including the construction of a link road. Neil continued to work on the Airport, including with regard to mixed-use and residential developments and monitoring.
Neil was also responsible for the team that coordinated a series of Environmental Statements to support planning applications for passenger facilities at West Midlands International Airport (Coventry Airport), and gave evidence as an Expert Witness at Public Inquiries for an Interim Passenger Facility, and subsequently for a permanent passenger terminal. Following planning permission for new car parking, Neil assisted the Airport in discharging a number of planning conditions. Additional support and ad hoc services have continued to be provided direct to the Airport's legal representatives in subsequent years (up to 2008).
Most recently, Neil has (and continues) to work at Carlisle Lake District Airport, where he has been responsible for managing the Environmental Impact Assessments, preparing the Environmental Statements and providing a range of planning and environmental services in support of development proposals. Neil was closely involved in extensive consultation with the local planning authority and statutory advisors in order to advance the development through the planning process, most notably including issues associated with Natura 2000 (SPA and SAC) designations, and other designations associated with birds on the site itself.
Neil has worked on a number of other airport projects, including at Humberside Airport, Leeds Bradford International Airport, John Lennon Liverpool Airport and Durham Tees Valley Airport.
Highway Schemes
Neil has also provided environmental or specialist management or involvement to numerous other highway schemes, including EIA/ ES, public exhibitions, public inquiries and supervision of construction works.
These include the A46 Newbury to Lincoln improvement scheme, the A46 Newark to Widmerpool improvement scheme, the A47 Blofield to North Burlingham dualling scheme, the A27 Polegate Bypass, the A50 Toyota 2nd Access Scheme, various M1 lighting and noise schemes, the A6 Alvaston Bypass, the A19 DBFO maintenance works, Tunstall Northern Bypass, and the A63 Melton Grade Separated Junction, and the A66 Temple Sowerby Bypass (which lies in a sensitive landscape and over an internationally important river).

Rail Schemes
Neil has worked on a large number of railway projects. Some of the larger schemes include the West Coast Route Modernisation extended capacity schemes (where as an Environmental Task Manager, Neil was responsible for co-ordinating environmental inputs and advice, liaison with P-way engineers and architects, but also undertook specialist survey work on other sections), the East Coast Main Line Upgrade (where Neil was an environmental coordinator responsible for progressing Transport and Works Orders for various individual schemes) , and the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (where Neil undertook a wide range of assessment and site supervision works, including survey, design and implementation of mitigation for protected species, including bats, dormouse, badger, and rare invertebrates).
Neil has been the Service Centre Manager for the London North Eastern Zone under the Environmental Services Framework Contract for Balfour Beatty Rail Projects, and has undertaken ecological assessment of various proposals associated with the Greater Manchester Light Rail Transport System (GMLRT) including Oldham Mumps, Stockport and Depot Strategies.
Others projects have included environmental appraisal and management of restoration work to the Dutch River Rail Bridge at Goole, appraisals of numerous other rail bridge maintenance and deconstruction works. Neil is currently the Contractor’s Responsible Engineer for Environment on the North Doncaster Chord project near Shaftholme, which involves constructing 3.2 km of new railway line and viaduct to flyover the East Coast Main Line. Neil's involvement on the scheme originally involved an alignment optioneering study for Network Rail in 2002/3.
Public Inquiry
A variety of the above schemes have involved providing expert witness services, or other support at public inquiry. Notable examples include the following :
New Passenger Terminal at Coventry Airport - expert witness presenting evidence on behalf of West Midlands International Airport at Public Inquiry
Interim Passenger Facility at Coventry Airport - expert witness presenting evidence on behalf of West Midlands International Airport at Public Inquiry
A66 Temple Sowerby By-pass - expert witness presenting evidence on behalf of the Highways Agency at Public Inquiry
A527 Tunstall Northern By-pass - assistance provided during Parliamentary Inquiry process on behalf of City of Stoke on Trent Council for the Tunstall Northern bypass
A variety of other additional involvement, such as providing evidence, statements or rebuttals, or assisting other staff during other Public Inquiries has been associated with projects such as Doncaster Finningley Airport (Peel Airports Ltd), A6 Alvaston Bypass (Highways Agency), and several Drought Orders (Yorkshire Water Services).
Previous Employment
Neil has previously been an ecologist with Cobham Resource Consultants (later to merge with Scott Wilson, which has subsequently become URS). Before this, he was an assistant freshwater scientist with the Institute of Hydrology and the Institute for Freshwater Ecology, assigned to the Land-Ocean Interaction Study (LOIS).
Neil has also been a biologist within the National Rivers Authority (subsequently the Environment Agency), where he worked on the assessment and monitoring of a variety of freshwater, estuarine and particularly the coastal waters of North Yorkshire.
