RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council take the following action:
1) Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing
appropriation by $87,200 in General Fund GGOl, Center No. 0906601, Non-
Departmental, Contract Administration, and decreasing the unreserved,
undesignated fund balance of the general fund by the same amount; and
2) Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Emtech
Environmental. Services, Inc., a local firm, for the removal, disposal and
site clean-up of six underground fuel storage tanks and associated
appurtenances for an amount not to exceed $87,200.
DISCUSSION.
During a preliminary site assessment in June 1990, free petroleum was found
in a tank pit monitoring well at the Brennan Service Center Facility As a
result of this discovery the fueling operations at Brennan were discontinued
for an undesignated period of time. The Texas Water Commission (TWC) required
further testing be performed to determine the horizontal and vertical extent
of the contamination. Subsequent monitor well and soil boring installations
revealed widespread subsurface hydrocarbon (petroleum) contamination in both
soil and shallow groundwater. The source of the hydrocarbon contamination has
not yet been fully determined, excluding the six UST's.
During the installation of the monitoring wells it was discovered that the six
USTs were. placed in the edge of the landfill. In addition, one of the monitor
wells was emitting landfill gas composed primarily of methane (54%).
As a result of these discoveries, the City's contract engineer for UST's
recommended that staff consider issuing a request for proposal (RFP) in lieu
of competitive bidding. This contract would be exempt from the legal
requirements for competitive bidding under the "public health" exemption,
Local Gov't Code Sec. 252.022(2). Staff concurred and on November 20, 1990,
issued an RFP to five firms identified as having the expertise to safely
remove the six UST's. Staff received three proposals on December 3, 1990.
The three firms submitting the proposals were interviewed by a committee
comprised of individuals from the Water Department, Risk Management, Fire and
Contract Engineer. The committee ranked the proposals and recommended a
Houston firm as the top candidate. Staff negotiated from mid-December through
January with no success and in early February notified the company that no
further negotiations would take place.
Staff began negotiating with the number two firm, Emtech Environmental
Services, Inc., a local firm, and within one week came to a cost which staff
believes to be reasonable. Therefore, staff requests Council to approve the
recommendations as stated
