On November 16. 2000 the City Commission awarded a contract to Dames and Moore (now URS Corporation Southern) in the amount of $89.500 for the assessment and remediation of petroleum contaminated soils located in the area of two (2) hydraulic lifts removed under a previous contract to Dames and Moore. . On June 18.2001 the City Commission approved increasing the amount of the contract from $89,500 to $359,135 to provide additional funding to remove an estimated 4,950 tons of petroleum impacted soils. However this removal was delayed due to additional assessment activities required by the Florida Dcpartment of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and to date has not been executed, . As a result of the FDEP required assessment activities additional impacted soils containing benzo(a)pyrene and arsenic were discovered increasing the original estimated volume for soil removal to 8.710 tons (an additional 3.765 tons). . The Commission previously approved $359,135 of which $121,979 has been expended lcaving a balance of $237,156. Administration recommends approving an additional $162,844 that will create an unexpended balance of $400.000. . The total estimated cleanup cost is $690,700. The City is currently ncgotiating with the potential dcveloper of the site to contribute to the additional costs of remediation to make the site acceptable for residential redevelopment. An additional City contribution may be required to complete remediation on this site to residential standards. Reviewed by: Legal M Info Tech BUdge~~UbIlC Works Purchasln -:;'77 #..
