SUBJECT: Phase II Environmental Site Assessment and UST Closure
.....
We have received proposals to perform the referenced professional services for
Daubenspeck Property Tract C and Spur Subdivision Senior Citizen Addition
Unsubdivided Remainder. The proposals were received from Kent & Sullivan and
American Environmental. Rozak Engineering was sent an RFP, but Ron Rozak is out
of state for an extended period, and was unable to respond.
The two proposals received each represent a different approach to doing the site
assessment portion of the work, which involves the greatest effort and expense. Kent &
Sullivan proposes to do a grid-work of test pits and soil borings. From each pit or boring
soil and water samples would be taken and analyzed for a wide spectrum of
contaminates. The UST would also be removed using standard practices and all
reports prepared. The estimated budget from Kent & Sullivan is $99,912 for this work.
American Environmental (Pete Campbell) has proposed to do a geophysical survey of
the property to define the extent of the buried wastes before digging test holes,
sampling or installing monitoring wells. In order to do the geophysical survey, the
property previously disturbed during FAA occupancy must be cleared to allow a person
to walk on a 10-foot grid over the area with the electromagnetic instrument. Also, this
method works best with the least amount of snow. The estimated budget using this
method, including clearing and UST removal, is $79,984.
Both firms are qualified and have presented sound methodologies for accomplishing the
work. I recommend awarding the project to American Environmental, however, based
on using the geophysical survey method and costs. I think this approach will help
define where wastes are buried and reduce the eventual digging, testing and monitoring
needed.
