SUBJECT: EMERGENCY PROCUREMENT WITH SUNBELT INDUSTRIAL
SERVICES FOR TRANSPORTATION AND DISPOSAL OF CONTAMINATED
SOILS AT 2500 BRENNAN AVENUE
The purpose of this report is to provide details on an Emergency Procurement of soil removal
services at the Brennan Service Center and describe the site activities.
In December 2009 the City Council approved a Contract with Eagle Construction and
Environmental Services, LLP (Eagle)for the transportation and disposal of contaminated soils at
2500 Brennan Avenue from the drainage channel and 3479 W. Vickery Boulevard. During waste
characterization activities the Chevron facility, located due north, had an unauthorized release of
wastewater that impacted the drainage channel. Once Chevron completed their cleanup and
Eagle finished their waste characterization it was discovered that additional contaminated soils,
unrelated to the Chevron release, required remediation. Environmental Management brought
forward M&C 24119 which City Council approved on March 2, 2010 to remove additional
contaminated soils and account for cost increase based on waste characterization.
While performing additional investigation to further delineate the amount of impacted soils
petroleum impacted soils were found to pose a threat to the Trinity River. Hydrocarbons had
begun to migrate out of the soil into the drainage channel. Approximately 17,800 cubic yards of
soil requires excavation and approximately 9,500 cubic yards of total petroleum hydrocarbons
(TPH) contaminated soil requires transportation and disposal. Proper removal and disposal of
the contaminated soils is required under Texas Commission on Environmental Quality rules and
regulations. Eagle was unable to continue work due to a "non-compliance" status under the
MWBE ordinance. Sunbelt Industrial Services (Sunbelt) was contacted regarding the emergency
cleanup. Sunbelt's costs were similar to the prior costs; they could begin work immediately; and
committed to a 12 percent MWBE participation.
The Environmental Management Department conferred with both the Law and Financial
Management Services (Purchasing) Departments to proceed under emergency procurement
procedures in order to prevent additional environmental impacts and potential human exposure.
Both Legal and Purchasing have agreed that this issue can be treated as "a procurement that is
necessary to preserve or protect the public health or safety of the municipality's residents" in
accordance with the Texas Local Government Code Section 252.022(a)(2). The emergency
purchase was setup with a not to exceed amount of$472,600 that will be paid from the
Environmental Protection Fund.
If you have any questions regarding this topic, please contact Brian K. Boemer, CPM, CHMM,
Environmental Management Director at 817-392-8085.
