Every Californian needs to take immediate action to reduce energy consumption. For a list of simple ways you can reduce demand and cut your energy costs, see our website at www.swreb.ca.gov, January 10, 2002 DDDMDD Paul Zumberge JAN 2 2 2002 1350 E. Philadelphia Ave ENVIRONMENT HEALTH Chino, CA 91761 PERMIT/SERVICES REQUEST FOR PRE-APPROVAL OF CORRECTIVE ACTION COSTS, CLAIM NO, 012886, SITE ADDRESS : 425 LARCH, TRACY, CA I have reviewed your request, received on December 4, 2001 , for pre-approval of corrective action costs; I will place these documents in your file for future reference. I have included a copy of the "Cost Pre- Approval Request" form; please use this form in the future for requesting pre-approval of corrective action costs. Pursuant to Section 2811 .4, subdivision (c), of the Cleanup Fund regulations and based upon the materials submitted, the Cleanup Fund must deny your request for pre-approval. You have failed to submit the required three bids for the tasks covered by your pre-approval request and the single bid you provided is unreasonable for the proposed scope of work. Based on the Cleanup Fund's experience with similar sites in your area, we have determined that $128,948 is reasonable for the tasks included in your pre-approval request. The breakdown of costs associated with each task is shown in Table 1 below. There are two options available to you. You may secure the requisite bids for the tasks covered by the pre-approval request, and the Cleanup Fund will evaluate the reasonableness of the costs in light of the additional bids . Or, you may resubmit the existing bid and request pre-approval for the amounts specified in Table 1 . Since the Cleanup Fund has determined that the amount specified in Table 1 is reasonable for this scope of work; the three-bid requirement is unnecessary if you concur with the Cleanup Fund's determination. The Cleanup Fund has the authority to waive the three-bid requirement as unnecessary upon your request to do so. Therefore, if your resubmitted pre-approval request only seeks pre-approval for the amount the Cleanup Fund has determined reasonable (the amount specified in Table 1 ) and you request waiver of the three-bid requirement as unnecessary, the Cleanup Fund will grant your request for ,I pre-approval and waive the three bid requirement, with respect to this scope of work, as unnecessary. A waiver does not waive the three-bid requirement for the claim, but only for the tasks covered by the pre-approval request. Again, if you decide to seek waiver of the three-bid requirement because it is unnecessary, then you must provide a written request for waiver of the three-bid requirement and resubmit your pre-approval request seeking only the amounts specified in Table 1 . In an effort to assist you in expediting the pre-approval process we have prepared the attached Acceptance of Reasonable Cost✓Request for Bid Waiver form letter. If you concur/accept our reasonable cost determination and would like to request a bid waiver, then just sign and date the attached letter and return to us for further processing your Pre-Approval.
