r BOOK iii PAGE 409- Date: 09 Date: November 9,1999 To: The Honorable Board of County Commissioners Thru: —James E. Chandler, County Administrator From: Thomas W. Frame, General Services Director James W. Davis, P.E., Director of Public Works Subject: Phase I Site Assessments for Fleet and Sherilrs Fuel Facilities BACKGROUND: This past Spring, work was undertaken to replace underground storage tanks and associated fuel lines at the Sheriffs fleet maintenance facility. At the same time, the Public Works Department undertook the replacement of underground fuel lines at the Fleet fueling facility. In both instances, some contamination was discovered In order to proceed with corrective action, the State requires a site assessment and a preliminary site assessment report (PSAR) to be submitted to the Indian River County Health Department. GeoSvntec Consultants, who is currently contracted with the Solid Waste District, was approached by both Public Works and Building and Grounds for proposals. Proposed plans for both sites call for the development of a Phase I assessment along with a preliminary assessment report (PSAR). Assuming no further findings are warranted no further assessment will be necessary. However, if additional contamination or additional remedial work is needed additional assessment studies through a Phase H assessment will be required along with a submittal of a site assessment report. The costs for these two Phase I assessment studies is $9.599.44 for the Fleet Maintenance assessment and $12.657.43 for the Sheriff's facilities. Funding necessary to support this work would have to come from General Fund Contingency. Neither project exceeds the Category 2 threshold ($15,000) as outlined in the Florida Statin associated with the Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act. Since GeoSyntec is currently under contract with the County through the Solid Waste District, it is recommended that staff be authorized to secure the services of GeoSyntec Consultants for Phase I assessments as out lined in the attached proposals from GeoSyntec Consultants not to exceed $9,599.44 and$ 12,65 7.43 respectively. Costs are to be fimded by General Fund Contingency. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously authorized staff to secure the services of GeoSyntec Consultants for Phase I assessments as outlined in the proposals from GeoSyntec Consultants not to exceed $9,599.44 and $122657.43 respectively, as recommended by staff NOVEMBER 16, 1999 -128- • •
