ITEM TITLE: Resolution ~.Z ~ y~- Appropriating Additional Funds for
Removal and Transportation of Contaminated Soil
SUBMITTED BY: Principal Management Assistan
REVIEWED BY: City Manager 4/5ths Vote: Yes X No_
On September 23, 1986, by Resolution No. 12746, the City Council
appropriated $55,000 to pay for contractual services for removing
and transporting contaminated soil from Fire Station No. 4. The figures
used to calculate the estimate of $55,000 called for the removal
of about 200 cubic yards of contaminated soil at a cost of $275
per cubic yard. The actual amount of soil to be transported is
about 300 cubic yards. However, the cost has been reduced to
$200 per cubic yard. Because funds were never appropriated to
pay for the soil tests required in conjunction with the removal
and disposal of the contaminated soils and the actual amount of
soil to be removed is about 50% greater than originally estimated,
it is necessary to appropriate an additional $16,640.

BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N.A.
DISCUSSION:
In September, 1986, Council appropriated $55,000 to be used in conjunction
with the removal and disposal of contaminated soil from Fire Station
No. 4. That same resolution also waived the formal bidding process
in regard to removing that soil. Originally, staff had estimated
that about 200 cubic yards of contaminated soil would have to be
removed. The actual amount of contaminated soil to be removed and
transported turned out to be about 300 cubic yards. However, staff
also was able to find an alternate site, in Nevada, to the original
one (located in Arizona) which reduced the transportation and disposal
costs from $275 per cubic yard to $200 per cubic yard. The
appropriation of the $16,640 will pay for disposal of the final
four loads that need to be shipped to the disposal site in Nevada
and tests of the soil at Station No. 4 that were
required by State law. This will complete the disposal and clean-up
of the contaminated soil from Fire Station No. 4.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Appropriate $16,640 from the unappropriated balance
of the General Fund.
