TITLE
A RESOLUTION APPROVING MAXIM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. PROPOSALS FOR
CONTINUED PREPARATION OF REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST PACKAGES
AND ADDITIONAL SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION AT THE PUEBLO
MEMORIAL AIRPORT MAINTENANCE FACILITY IN THE AMOUNT OF $22,454
PLUS $3,368 (15 %) CONTINGENCIES AND AUTHORIZING THE PRESIDENT OF
THE CITY COUNCIL TO EXECUTE SAME
ISSUE
Should City Council appropriate funds and approve a proposal from Maxim
Technologies for continued preparation of reimbursement requests and additional
subsurface investigation at the Pueblo Memorial Airport Maintenance Facility.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Ordinance.
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) required
an investigation to delineate the source and extent of this contamination. Maxim
Technologies has performed the initial investigation and has now been informed by the
OPS that additional investigation of potential vapor and groundwater impacts needs to be
done.
A proposal to prepare a reimbursement request package was approved by City Council on
March 22, 2004. This proposal was for reimbursement of costs expended to identify and
remediate the petroleum hydrocarbon contamination from the 1993 reported release of
underground storage tanks at the Airport Maintenance Facility. During the file review of
the 1993 release, another release was identified as occurring in 1989. Maxim determined
that it was in the best interest of the City of Pueblo to begin the reimbursement process
with work resulting from the 1989 release and to prepare two reimbursement request
packages instead of one, thus potentially doubling the amount of eligible reimbursable
costs. Also, the OPS has requested that Maxim further research the location of
contamination from the 1989 release before they continue their application review
process.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $22,454 plus $3,368 (15 %) contingencies shall be transferred
from the General Fund Contingencies Fund to the Airport's Professional Services
Account. These funds are eligible for reimbursement from the OPS.
