The Fund will review any tasks/costs that go beyond the pre-approved amount to be determined if the additional tasks and costs are necessary and reasonable. However, if costs exceed the above pre-approved amounts, the Fund will be unable to expedite your Reimbursement Request. • The work products must be acceptable to the County and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. • If a different scope of work becomes necessary, then you must request pre-approval of the costs associated with the new scope of work. • Although I have referred to the Foothill Engineering proposal in my pre-approval above, please be aware that you will be entering into a private contract: the State of California cannot compel you to sign any specific contract. This letter pre-approves the costs as presented in the proposal dated May 29, 2002 by Foothill Engineering for conducting the work approved by the oversight agency for implementing the April 11, 2002, Foothill Engineering Work Plan. I also want to remind you that the Fund's regulations require that you obtain at least three bids, or a bid waiver from Fund staff, from qualified firms for all necessary future corrective action work. Please remember that it is still necessary to submit the actual costs of the work as explained in the Reimbursement Request Instructions to confirm that the costs are consistent with this pre- approval before you will be reimbursed. Please insure that your consultant prepares their invoices to include the required breakdown of costs on a time and materials basis, that invoiced tasks are consistent with the original proposal, and that reasonable explanations are provided for any changes made in the scope of work or increases in the costs. When the invoices are submitted you must include copies of all: • Subcontractor invoices, • Technical reports, when available, and • Applicable correspondence from the oversight agency.
