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. 94- 274 /-/q-I
