In October, 1998 the City awarded Contract #115CD to Arthur D. Little, Inc. (ADL) for
environmental investigation, monitoring and remediation services at the Airport. These

Discussion
It was discovered over the course of the investigation that more extensive investigation
and cleanup activities are required. It has been determined that a larger and more
comprehensive cleanup system will be required at this site. The expanded system will
be comprised of soil vapor extraction and other remediation techniques and equipment.
In addition, two former fueling facilities located adjacent to and south of 3223 Donald
Douglas Loop require an expanded scope of investigation activities.
Budget/Financial Impact
Funds are available for the expanded scope of services in the amount of $295,810 in
the Airport Fund Underground Tank Management CIP account #C33002000.589000.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate and
execute a change order to Contract #115CD with Arthur D. Little, Inc. for an expanded
scope of environmental investigation, monitoring and remediation services at the
Airport in an amount not to exceed $295,810.
