Donna Sartini-Gardner -2- <br />The actual costs and scope of work performed must be consistent with the pre-approval for it to remain valid. <br />The work products must be acceptable to the County and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. <br />If a different scope of work becomes necessary, then you must request pre-approval of costs on the new scope of <br />work. <br />Although I have referred to the SMITH Environmental proposal in my pre-approval above, please be aware that <br />you will be entering into a private contract: the State of California cannot compel you to sign any specific <br />contract. This letter pre-approves the costs as presented in the proposal dated October 23, 1997 by SMITH <br />Environmental for conducting the work approved by the Copnty for implementing the September 4, 1997, <br />SMITH Environmental workplan and the addendum. <br />I also want to remind you that the Fund's regulations require that you obtain at least three bids, or a bid waiver from <br />Fund staff, from qualified firms for all necessary corrective action work. The legislation governing the Fund requires <br />that the Fund assist you in procuring contractor and consultant services for corrective action. If you need assistance <br />in contracting for corrective action services, do not hesitate to call me. <br />Please remember that it is still necessary to submit the actual costs of the work as explained in the Reimbursement <br />Request Instructions to confirm that the costs are consistent with this pre-approval before you will be reimbursed. To <br />make this easier, ensure that your consultant prepares his invoices to match the format of the original estimate <br />with an attached copy of the appropriate pre-approved letter, and provides reasonable explanations for any <br />changes made in the scope of work. When the invoices are submitted you must include copies of all: <br />subcontractor invoices, <br />technical reports, when available, and <br />applicable correspondence from the County. <br />Please call if you have any questions. I can be reached at (916) 227-6010. <br />Sincerely, <br />Teresa Trinh, Water Resources Control Engineer <br />Technical Review Unit <br />Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Fund <br />Enclosure <br />CC: <br />Ms. Margaret Lagorio <br />San Joaquin County EHD <br />P.O.
