Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors approve and authorize the County Counsel’s Office to execute renewal and amendment No. 8, with Kennedy/Jenks Consultants, to extend the agreement for one year, but add no additional funds, for a new full term of March 1, 2016 to September 1, 2025, for the construction, testing, reporting and oversight of a bioventing system at the Lake San Antonio Resort/Marina site, required by the California State Water Resources Control Board and Regional Board ("Water Boards") to address fuel spill remediation at the lake, for a total not to exceed amount of $743,000 to be funded from County Counsel - Enterprise Risk (001-1210-8429-COU006).
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
County Counsel/Risk Management Division has managed the contracts for the remediation of the fuel spills at the Lakes Resort, including payment and tracking of costs. In 2013, the Board of Supervisors authorized the transfer of General Fund Contingency funds for $1,018,685 to a newly created Lakes Fuel Spill Budget Unit 8429 (now included in the County Budget under “Enterprise Risk Budget Unit 8429”) for costs associated with the remediation efforts.
The County initially entered into a contract with Kennedy/Jenks Consultants for work at Lake San Antonio in 2016 and continues utilizing the services of the firm for the required work needed to support monitoring and reporting on environmental remediation at the lake. The agreement with Kennedy/Jenks Amendment No. 7 added $44,740.53 for a total not to exceed amount of $743,000.00 and extending the agreement to September 1, 2024.
The most recent work has involved the use of a “bioventing system” required by the Water Boards, which is designed to reduce the contaminant mass in the ground in and around the lake where the fuel spill occurred. Work using the system is winding down. Kennedy/Jenks requested authority to close the monitoring; however, the Regional Water Quality Control Board has required monitoring for another year.
County Counsel/Risk Management recommends the Board of Supervisors approve and authorize County Counsel to execute Amendment No. 8 with Kennedy/Jenks Consultants, extending the existing contract to September 1, 2025, to complete the project. There is sufficient funding for completion of the project.
