PROPOSALS TO PREPARE A REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST PACKAGE, INVESTIGATE PETROLEUM CONTAMINATION AND PREPARE A SITE CHARACTERIZATION REPORT AT THE PUEBLO MEMORIAL AIRPORT MAINTENANCE FACILITY FOR THE AMOUNT OF $39,980.65 PLUS $6,000.00 (15 %) CONTINGENCIES AND AUTHORIZING THE PRESIDENT OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO EXECUTE SAME ISSUE Should City Council authorize Maxim Technologies, Inc. to prepare a reimbursement request package, investigate petroleum contamination, and prepare a site characterization report at the Pueblo Airport Maintenance Facility. RECOMMENDATION Approval of this Resolution. BACKGROUND In 1989, petroleum hydrocarbon - contamination was found in groundwater at the Pueblo Airport Maintenance Facility. Since that time, Maxim Technologies has been monitoring the groundwater. In June 2003, the groundwater samples showed an increase in benzene concentrations. The State of Colorado Division of Oil and Public Safety (OPS) is requiring an investigation to delineate the source and extent of this contamination. The letter from the State is attached to this resolution. The State of Colorado Division of Oil and Public Safety (OPS) is accepting requests for reimbursement for environmental work. Maxim Technologies will prepare an analysis of the project costs since 1989 that are reimbursable under the program. We will then submit the request for reimbursement for both the previous remediation work and the work proposed in this resolution. FINANCIAL IMPACT The investigation and delineation of the contamination is estimated at $34,997.65. The cost to prepare the reimbursement package is $4,933.00. It is anticipated that the majority of past expenditures will be reimbursable. The cost to prepare the reimbursement package is not reimbursable. Also, there is a $10,000.00 deductible. After these unreimbursed amounts are deducted, Maxim Technologies estimates we will receive approximately $100,000 from the State Division of Oil and Public Safety for the work completed from 1989 to date. Funds for this project in the amount of $39,980.65 plus $6,000.00 (15 %) shall be expended from the Aviation Fuel Tax Fund. These funds will be replaced when the City receives reimbursement from the State of Colorado.
