Keating,MCP <br /> Community Development kirector <br /> FROM: Roland M. DeBlois,AICP— <br /> Chief, Environmental Planning <br /> DATE: January 14, 2013 <br /> RE: Approval of Amendment 1 to a Professional Services Agreement with Kimley- <br /> Horn and Associates, Inc. for Remediation of Contamination at the Shadowbrook <br /> Estates Parcel of the South Prong Preserve Conservation Area <br /> It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners formally consider the following information at <br /> NOW- the Board's regular meeting of January 22, 2013. <br /> DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br /> In 2007, the County acquired 29 acres known as the Shadowbrook Estates parcel with environmental land <br /> bond funds. The property is located at 7775 85`h Street (a.k.a. CR 510) and is part of the South Prong <br /> Preserve Conservation Area. Prior to closing on the purchase, the County obtained an Environmental Site <br /> Assessment (ESA) of the property that identified limited soil and groundwater contamination. To address <br /> the limited contamination issue, the previous owner entered into an escrow agreement with the County to <br /> pay for remediation work. That escrow agreement was modified under a settlement approved by the <br /> County Commission on December 13, 2011, whereby the previous owner disbursed $100,000 to the <br /> County to be used to finish development of a remediation plan and to achieve regulatory closure with the <br /> Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). On March 5, 2012, the County entered into an <br /> agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA) to conduct the work (see Attachment 2 to this <br /> report). <br /> Since March 2012, KHA has coordinated with FDEP and county staff, has conducted groundwater and <br /> soil testing, and has submitted several reports to the FDEP to address FDEP staff requests for additional <br /> information (RAI). Although there has been progress made in moving toward regulatory closure with the <br /> FDEP, additional sampling and reporting is necessary that will result in certain costs beyond the original <br /> agreement with KHA. For that reason, an amendment to the KHA agreement (Attachment 1 to this <br /> report) is herein presented for the Board's approval consideration. <br /> 37 <br />
