investigation and remediation services at the Airport, Big Blue Bus Yard, and the

DISCUSSION
The proposed contract modification to 127(CD) with ICF continues the existing
contractual relationship with ICF for environmental assessment and remediation
services at the Corporate Yard through October 2004. This work includes
remediation of subsurface contamination under the oversight of the Los Angeles
Regional Water Quality Control Board.
As part of its ongoing operations, the City undertakes environmental assessment,
investigation, and monitoring activities of the Corporate Yard site. This
requested authorization will extend these highly specialized and technical
services during the period that staff re-bids and awards a new contract. The
recommendation to extend this contract with ICF is based on their technical
expertise and knowledge of the subject sites and will assure the continuation of
required services without interruption.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT
The contract amendment to 127(CD) totals $54,990. Funds for the scope of
services at the Corporate Yard are available in the amount of $54,990 in CIP
Account No. C250020.589000.
RECOMMENDATIONS
This report recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to
negotiate and execute an amendment with ICF Consulting to Contract #127(CD)

in the amount of $54,990 for extending the existing agreement associated with
