May 31, 2001 F. Rauzi Tuleburg Warehouse 301 Aurora St S Stockton, CA 95203 REQUEST FOR PRE-APPROVAL OF CORRECTIVE ACTION COSTS, CLAIM NO. 012586, SITE ADDRESS: 8200 HWY 99 N, STOCKTON, CA. 952.12 I have reviewed your request, received on May 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. Also the, single bid you provided for the task covered by your pre-approval request is unreasonable for the scope of work. Based on the Cleanup Fund's experience with similar sites in your area, we have determined that $8,589 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. Based upon the information you submitted and in the absence of additional bids, we can only pre-approve $8,589. These pre-approved costs are for abandonment of the existing water supply well and associated permitting and reporting. We understand that the letter dated 16 May, 2000, from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board requires replacement of the existing water supply well. However, installation of a new well on your property is not related to corrective action and cleanup of the site, and therefore these costs are not reimbursable by the Fund. 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 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 Cdfifornid Enriranmenta/Protection Agency %d R-.f eled Pvper
