MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 20, 1994
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners
FROM: James W. Shira, P.E.
City Engineer/Utilitie irector
SUBJECT: Wastewater Residuals Dedicated Site Plan
aa
On December 21, 1993 the City Commission authorized L.J. Nodarse to install three
groundwater monitoring wells and collect and test the first round of groundwater samples in
accordance with our F.D.E.P. permit. This work was authorized in the amount of $3,130.00.
The first round of samples indicated an unexpectedly high mercury level which would have
been a source of great concern to F.D.E.P. I felt that this result was due to the method of
testing used, and authorized L.J. Nodarse to collect another set of samples to be tested by an
alternate method. This second round of samples indicated that the mercury levels were, in
fact, well within allowable limits. The extra work was authorized by me in order to get the
required report submitted to F.D.E.P. on time. The report has been completed and submitted
to F.D.E.P., and is now under review by that agency. The additional fee to L.J. Nodarse and
the testing laboratory for this extra work is $1,180.00.
I recommend that the City Commission authorize the transfer of $1,180.00 from Wastewater
Reserve for Contingency to pay for this additional work.
