3 Authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to City
Secretary Contract No 17498 with Environmental Managers,,
Inc., a Fort Worth firm for additional engineering servi:c,es
for oversight and implementation of the City's underground
storage tank remediation program, increasing the projected
cost by $300,000 -from $171,000 to $471,000
BACKGROUND
On September 19, 1989 (M&C 11879), the City Council authorized
the City Manager to execute an engineering contract with
Environmental Managers, Inc, for the development of the City's
underground storage tank program for a cost not to exceed
$346,000; $175,000 (Phase I) was for the development of a
compliance plan, preparation of general specifications and
contract documents, tank inventories and soil resistivity;
5171, 000.; "~
~(,Pha"see, II) was for engineering oversight on tank
remedi at i•on r~pro`j ects .
DISCUSSION
~:.,~ :,.. s,
During the original contract negotiations the exact costs
associated with~Phase II could not be determined, therefore, the
projected tcost;t.was based on the known 120 underground storage
tanks (UST,`~S),.~ _owned by the City. On July 16, 1990 Environmental
Managers ',s Inc., informed staff that due to the increase in UST
sites al.onglwith unscheduled remediation of UST's not anticipated
under the original contract, the money appropriated under Phase
II would not cover the anticipated work remaining under this
Phase.
Work is continuing with on-site assessments, and remediation of
five (S) sites. An additional six (6) sites have bean identified
as having petroleum releases and will require some site

assessment and remediation. In addition, the proposed compliance
plan outlinesabandonment and/or :removal of tanks from 34 sites.
The extent of engineering work required on the above sites
cannot be~determined. However, based on the extent and severity
of the sites already encountered and EMI's projected cost, staff
anticipates that an additional 5300,000 may be necessary to
accomplish required site assessment, remediation and reports on
projects currently underway or anticipated to'begin.~
The underground storage tank remediation fund as administered by
the Texas Water Commission (TWC) will cover certain costs
associated with underground storage tank remediation programs.
Staff anticipates the majority of the cost associated with this
contract will be covered by this fund.
FINANCING
Upon approval and completion of Recommendations #1 and #2,
sufficient funds will be available in the Specially Funded
Capital Projects Fund GC35, Center No. 021021100000, Underground
Storage Tanks. Expenditures will be made from Account No.
531200 The unreserved, undesignated General- Fund balance after
this transfer will be 525,730,519.
