Nlr. Zumberge 2 - July 24, 2001 • Although I have referred to the Blakely Environmental Investigations 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 corrective action related costs as presented in the proposal dated May 14, 2001 , by Blakely Environmental Investigations. 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 future corrective action work. If you need assistance in procuring contractor and consultant services, don 't hesitate to call me. Please remember that it is still necessary to submit the actual costs 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. Please insure that your consultant prepares their invoices to include the required breakdown of costs on a time and materials basis, that invoiced tasks are consistent with the original proposal, and that reasonable explanations are provided 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. Please call if you have any questions; I can be reached at (916) 341 -5796.
