Body
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a First Amendment to the Consultant Service Agreement with Kleinfelder in the amount of $20,200, to provide additional investigative environmental engineering services at the Maxie L. Parks site located at 2165 South Elm Street, Fresno, CA 93706, to further define and delineate soil impacts at the site in accordance with the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board's (RWQCB) requirements.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On May 1, 2019, the RWQCB requested a Work Plan from the City of Fresno to investigate the groundwater and soil at the Maxie L. Parks site due to elevated detections of the contaminant perchloroethylene (PCE) at a nearby location. In response to the City's investigations and reports, the RWQCB determined that the City's site does not appear to be a source of PCE. The RWQCB subsequently requested additional investigation to understand better the relationship, if any, between off-site detections of other constituents of concern (COCs) and the City's property. The request for additional assessment resulted in the need for the City to enter into a new consultant services agreement with Kleinfelder Inc for additional testing and report preparation.
