Peters Peters Enterprises P0Box 338 French Camp, CA 95231 DENIAL OF CORRECTIVE ACTION COSTS,CLAIM NO. 014052, SITE ADDRESS: 2081 COUNTRY CLUB BLVD, STOCKTON, CA 95204 I have reviewed your request,received on January 13, 2000, 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 because you have failed to submit the required three bids for the tasks covered by your pre-approval request and the single bid is unreasonable for the scope of work. If you subsequently secure the requisite bids for the tasks covered by the pre-approval request, the Cleanup Fund will evaluate the reasonableness of the costs in light of the bids. Alternatively, the Cleanup Fund has determined that$18,923.90 is reasonable for the tasks submitted based on Cleanup Fund experience with similar sites. The breakdown of costs associated with each task is shown in Table 1 below. You may resubmit the existing bid and request pre-approval for the amounts specified in Table 1. If your resubmitted pre-approval request only seeks pre-approval for the amounts specified in Table 1 and you request waiver of the three-bid requirement as unnecessary, the Cleanup Fund regulations allow the Cleanup Fund to find the three-bid requirement unnecessary because it has determined the amounts in Table 1 to be reasonable. If the Cleanup Fund finds that the three-bid requirement is unnecessary for a particular task or pre- approval,then the regulations permit the Cleanup Fund to waive the three-bid requirement. 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.
