ENCLOSURES : Reso I ut I on
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt
the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute
a Professional Services Agreement with Metcalf & Eddy, Inc. for
professional and technical services related to the Contamination
Remedlatlon at the City's Heavy Equipment Facility in an amount
not to exceed $99,400.
BACKGROUND:
Groundwater and soil under the City's Heavy Equipment Facility
site at 1390 N.W. 20 Street Street have been contaminated by
petroleum products. As required by Federal, State and Local
Environmental Agencies the City has completed the containment and
assessment phases of the contamination cleanup. The next
required step is the preparation of a Remedial Action Plan (RAP)
to Identify remediation activities which will occur over the next
several years.
Since time is of the essence both In terms of regulatory
deadlines and the further spreading of contamination,,the lengthy
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process to select an
Environmental Consultant is not possible. However, Dade County
has recently completed the RFQ process following the appropriate
State Statutes to identify qualified firms (Metcalf & Eddy, Inc.)
and execute Professional Services Agreements for Groundwater,
Surface Water & Soil Contamination Cleanup Services. Therefor,,;
the attached Resolution authorizes the City Manager to execute a'"
Professional Services Agreement for the preparation of a RAP for
the Heavy Equipment Facility with Metcalf & Eddy, Inc. based on
the County's selection process.
