NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, that the contract for the Alaska Courthouse Contaminated Soils Project be awarded to Glacier Environmental Services Incorporated for the total project amount of $425,015.00. From: CITY OF KENAI' 210 FIDALGO AVE., SUITE 200 KENAI, ALASKA 99611-TTe4 TELEPHONE 907'28,1-75:3S FAX g07-2S3-3014 'MEMORANDUM Rachel Clark, Engineering Technician Kelth Komelis, Public Works Director SubJe~: Alaska Courthouse Contamirmted Sells Bid Proposals Enclosed is a preliminary evaluation of the three lowest bidders for the above mentioned project. The proposal of the apparent Iow bidder, Glacier Environmental, appears to be complete. At this point, I would tentatively recommend that the project be awarded to them. The City Engineer concurs with this recommendation. I am still in the process of verifying references. I will let you know by Tuesday if any information given by the references changes my recommendation. Some things to be aware of: 1. This soil i.s. going to follow us around forever if it is not cleaned up properly. Neither bioremedlation nor soil-washing has quite as good a track record as thermoremediation. However, the thermoremedlation bid was quite a bit higher than either of these methods. 2. The City will still be considered the responsible party until, and even after the soil has been released for final disposal. Any problems i,vith the workplan, Contractor, or cleanup level will be addessed to us. 3. None of these contractors is likely to start work this year. All of them propose to be finished by September 1, 1994. If council chooses not to Award the project to any of these bidders, I will start work on the next three: Tuboscope Vetco, Inc.- soil washing Soil Services Inc. - thermoremedtation Alaska Roadbuilders- thermoremediation to asphalt Let me know if you have any questions.
