Ifte Mr. Weldon Church 2 • 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 costs for the new scope of work. • Although I have referred to the Advanced GeoEnvironmental 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 by Advanced GeoEnvironmental for conducting the work approved by the County for implementing the February 14, 1997, 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 any assistance in contracting for corrective action services,don't hesitate to call me. Please remember that it is still necessary to submit the actual cost 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. To make this easier, insure that your consultant prepares 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. Lastly,I also wish to inform you that Senate Bill 562 went into effect on January 1, 1997. One of the provisions of SB 562 states that: any"oviner or operator that has a tank case who believes that the owner's or operator's corrective action plan for the site has been satisfactorily implemented, but where closure has not been granted,may petition the fund manager for a review of the case." Please call if you have any questions; I can be reached at the above number.
