INTRODUCED November 22, 2004 BY Michael Occhiato Councilperson 12W # � 0a 3 Background Paper for Proposed RESOLUTION AGENDA ITEM # B DATE: November 22, 2004 DEPARTMENT: AVIATION - DANIEL E. CENTA, P.E. 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.
