Mr. Raymond E. Fanner -2- • It is my opinion that it is unnecessary to obtain three bids for this scope of work; the Fund's three bid requirement is waived for this scope of work. • If a different scope of work becomes necessary, then you must request pre-approval of costs on the new scope of work. • Although I have referred to the Smith Environmental proposal in my pre-approval above, please be aware that yon 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 June 17, 1997 by Smith Environmental for conducting the work approved by the County fro implementing the May 27, 1997 Smith Environmental workplan. 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 corrective action work. The legislation governing the Fund requires that the Fund assist you in procuring contractor and consultant services for corrective action. If you need assistance in contracting for corrective action services, don't hesitate to call me. 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 willbe reimbursed. To make this easier, insure that your eonsultantprepares his invoices to match the format of the original estimate, and provides reasonable explanations 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 County. Please call if you have any questions; I can be reached at (916) 2274374.
