REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Travis Hopkins, Acting City Manager
VIA: Scott M. Haberle, Fire Chief

Statement of Issue:
The project for abandonment includes technical oversight of the abandonment contractors, site remediation, and renovation of the Miley Keck Tank Farm. The Scope of Work is found in Attachment 1, Exhibit A.
Funds for this contract have been exhausted. Due to extensive consulting support which was not anticipated in July, August and September, the fund limit was met earlier than expected.

Financial Impact:
Original contract was for services between January 21, 2022 and January 2, 2025. The contract capacity was set at $50,400. In July 2024, the capacity was increased to $75,400 to meet the demands of the project.
Between October 1, 2023 and December 31, 2025, the additional contract amount is $62,100 ($54,000 plus 15% contingency) for a total of $137,500.
