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 (contractor) 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 $4,133.50 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 (for contractors), we can only pre-approve $4,133.50. There are two options available to you. You must 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 I 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 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 California Eiji ironmenta/Protection Agency RC1' Recvr/ed Pxpei
