DISCUSSION:
Soil contaminated with hydrocarbons was discovered to be impacting the drainage ditch that flows through
2500 Brennan Avenue into the Trinity River. The Transportation and Public Works Department worked
with the Financial Management Services and Law Departments to initiate emergency response actions to
protect the Trinity River. On July 13, 2010, Council ratified an emergency purchase order (M &C C-
24340) in the amount of $472,600.00 with Sunbelt Industrial Services, Inc., to excavate and dispose of
hydrocarbon contaminated soils as well as control surface water influx through containment while pumping
the contaminated water into the sanitary sewer system. On November 16, 2010, City Council ratified a
continuance of the work in the amount $601,763.00 with Sunbelt Industrial Services, Inc.
Following the hydrocarbon contaminated soil removal activities, box culverts were installed to allow
maximum use of the site while still allowing storm water to flow through the site. During the course of the
box culvert installation, contaminated surface water continued to accumulate in the work area. Sunbelt
Industrial Services, Inc., was required to continue pumping the contaminated surface water into the

sewer were approved by the Water Department.

from September 2010 through April 2011 for a total cost of $62,000.00 thus increasing the total contract
