Navarra 475 Blewett Rd W Tracy, CA 95376-9326 DENIAL OF CORRECTIVE ACTION COSTS, CLAIM NO. 014167, SITE ADDRESS: 7500 11TH ST W,TRACY, CA 95376 I have reviewed your request, received on December 14, 1999, 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 on the materials submitted,the Cleanup Fund must unfortunately deny your request for pre-approval at this time because you have failed to submit the required three bids for the consultant portion of the pre-approval request and the single, submitted 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$28,840 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 on the next page. 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 requirements as unnecessary, the Cleanup Fund regulations allow the Cleanup Fund to find the three-bid requirement unnecessary because it has already determined the amounts in Table i 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. The reasonable cost as presented on Table I is for completing the June I999 The San Joaquin Company, Inc. workplan with the following exceptions and/or provisions: • Cost determined reasonable does not include costs for the installation of the 2 monitoring wells and 7 borings east and northeast of the subject site. As implied in the approval letter and confirmed during my conversation with Ms. Lori Duncan of the San Joaquin County EHD on January 04, 2000, this portion of the workplan is unwarranted and therefore not directed and/or approved. If upon review of existing information and information gathered during the next phase of the investigation, and with concurrence from-the San Joaquin EHD, it is deemed necessary to conduct this portion of California Environmental Protection Agency �a Recycled Paper
