TITLE
A RESOLUTION APPROVING MAXIM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 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.
