WHEREAS, the Yonkers Parking Authority is mandated to comply with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) Record of Decision (ROD), incorporated by reference, for Site No. B00179-3, dated March 2008, for the site identified as 310 Saw Mill River Road, Yonkers, NY (Section 2, Block 2359, Lots 11 and 13), and;
WHEREAS, the Interim Remedial Measures (IRM) as listed in the Record of Decision (ROD), for Site No. B00179-3, states within Section 6: Summary of the Remediation Goals, Selected Remedy, and the Proposed Use of the Site, “The property owner would provide a periodic certification of institutional and engineering controls, prepared and submitted by a professional engineer or such other expert acceptable to the Department, until the Department notifies the property owner in writing that this certification is no longer needed.”
WHEREUPON, a Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Record of Decision (ROD) is issued immediate compliance is typically expected; and,
WHEREAS, in compliance with said Record of Decision (ROD), the Yonkers Parking Authority is required to monitor the site at 310 Saw Mill River Road once a year, for five years; and,
WHEREAS, HDR has provided engineering and science services in a satisfactory manner to the Yonkers Parking Authority in the past related to the 310 Saw Mill River Road site, and;
WHEREAS, Attachment #4, incorporated by reference, the proposal by Henningson, Durham & Richardson Architecture and Engineering, P.C., hereinafter known as HDR, of 711 Westchester Avenue, White Plains, NY 10604, dated August 2002 (See attached YPA Resolution No. 13-2002: Award Contract for Environmental Restoration Project Concerning RFP 2002-04) summarizes additional requested engineering and science services related to the Site, and;
Yonkers Parking Authority
Regular Board Meeting of March 31, 2009
WHEREAS, HDR’s scope of work, included in Attachment A, which was not covered in the August 2002 proposal and supplemental amendments, consists of the following tasks:
Estimated Costs per Task
Task 1: Preparation of Site Management Plan for the Site ($13,050)
Task 2: Year 1 of on-Site Groundwater Monitoring ($16,000 of which $4,730 are laboratory fees), including:
o Sampling of the existing five (5) groundwater monitoring wells on Site;
o Analysis of five (5) unfiltered groundwater samples (one from each well); Please see proposed modified parameters list in Attachment A; and,
o Preparation and submittal to the NYSDEC of an Annual Groundwater Monitoring Report.
Task 3: Year 2 of on-Site Groundwater Monitoring ($16,720 of which $4,970 are laboratory fees), including:
o Sampling of the existing five (5) groundwater monitoring wells on Site;
o Analysis of five (5) unfiltered groundwater samples (one from each well); Please see proposed modified parameters list in Attachment A; and,
o Preparation and submittal to the NYSDEC of an Annual Groundwater Monitoring Report.
This Scope and budget is based on a modified parameters list for Year 1 and Year 2 of groundwater sampling. HDR proposes analysis of Hydrogen as a natural attenuation parameter not to be performed during these two years of groundwater sampling. If the sampling data obtained during these first two years of groundwater sampling appears that anaerobic conditions exist at the site, the sampling and analysis for Hydrogen (which is a complex procedure) can be performed during one or more of the remaining three (3) years of required groundwater sampling.
HDR’s estimated fee for this additional Scope is $45,770 (of which approximately $9,700 are laboratory fees). However, HDR has $7,427 in YPA approved fees remaining. Therefore, HDR requests approval of an additional $38,343 for completion of this additional Scope. In addition, the remaining amount in the State Assistance Contract (SAC) for the Site is approximately $25,437. Therefore, it should be noted that approximately $15,756 of the total additional Scope fee ($45,770) will not be available for reimbursement from the NYSDEC, assuming a reimbursement percentage of 90%.
It should be noted that HDR will, at request, provide an additional Scope and budget for the remaining three (3) years required by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) for groundwater monitoring (A total of five (5) years is required per the ROD).
HDR will bill the YPA on a time and materials basis at the applicable 2009 and 2010 billing rates and field equipment daily rates.
