* by C/M Bender.
City Manager Kelly said this concerns the clean up of the 5
underground gasoline tanks and any contaminated soil and
ground water that may exist at the old Public Works
Department property which is located on the corner of
Commercial Boulevard and Pine island Road N.W. 88th Street).
City Manager Kelly said the project was estimated to cost
approximately $107,000.00. He said there were a few cptioAs
listed which may be utilized but only after the excavation
has taken place. He said when the City was informed cf the
outcome, the projected cost may be reduced.
City Manager Kelly said the Bids ranged from $103,000.00 to
$131,000.00 and the Consultants, Hazen and Sawyer, evalu*ted
the bid proposals and recommended that the Bid from Missimer
& Associates be accepted at a cost of $103,772.76. He said
staff was aware of how important the project was in allo4ing
this project to move ahead.
City Manager Kelly said the City was presently leasing the
property at $18,000.00 per month and he would like that czoet
eliminated to move ahead with the other project.
City Manager Kelly said a recent budget transfer related,to
this project reduced the amount of monies available and 4e
asked the City Council to approve the appropriate transfer
from the Utilities Account to this project; however, the
money would be reimbursed. He said approximately $10,000.DO
should be transferred to allow this bid to be awarded.
City Manager Kelly said the Finance Department was prepared
to make this transfer. He suggested the City Council vote on
the Resolution awarding the Bid and then vote to authorise
the appropriate transfer to be handled by the Finance
Department.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if the transfer had to be agendized
and City Manager Kelly said he was requesting the City
Council to authorize the Finance Department to make the
appropriate transfers.
Mayor Abramowitz suggested that this matter be Agendizsd by
Consent first and City Manager Kelly said the exact amount
would be submitted to the City Council before the meeting was
over.
C/M Rohr asked if the cost on the Bid was the maximum money
needed to clean up the property and City Manager Kelly
replied, yes.

City Manager Kelly said Mr. Peter Robinson, Vice President of
Hazen and Sawyer was present to answer any questions the City
Council may have.
Mayor Abramowitz said the amount presented to the City
Council at this time would be the most it would cost to clean
up the property and Mr. Robinson said if there was excessive
ground water contamination, there may be an extra cost;
however, he felt that the probability of the ground water
being contaminated was unlikely.
Mr. Robinson said the amount before the City Council included
excavating the soil; however, the cost of cleaning up
excessive petroleum contamination was not included. He said
the soil would have to be incinerated to rid it of any
petroleum present. He said he felt that this was unlikely;
however, the Bid contained several things that may not be
required and he said the maximum cost would be $107,000.00;
however, there was 95% probability of this occurring.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if Mr. Robinson was associated with
Missimer & Associates and Mr. Robinson replied, no. Mayor
Abramowitz said there was a possibility that the cost could
be less than the proposed amount and Mr. Robinson agreed.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if Mr. Robinson's company would be
monitoring the project and Mr. Robinson replied, yes, the
project would be monitored very closely.
Mayor Abramowitz said he would be more comfortable in knowing
that the project was being monitored to make sure that the
costs were correct. He said he hoped that Hazen and Sawyer
would be monitoring this project very closely and Mr.
Robinson said this was what Hazen and Sawyer intended to do.
C/M Rohr asked how the cost was determined without testing
the property and Mr. Robinson said last year Hazen and Sawyer
tested the property and there were boarings in the area and
the ground water was tested as well.
Mr. Robinson said at one of the monitor wells there was
slight contamination; therefore, there was speculation
regarding that tank. He said there may be a possibility
that this tank was leaking or when the tank was being filled
there may have been a spill.
Mayor Abramowitz said regardless of how the City Council and
staff felt about this project, it had to be done because it
was a condition of the sale and the contract.
