Gurpal S Sidhu -2- July 29, 2002 <br />what happens in the field, some costs may not actually be necessary. If the Fund agrees that they <br />were in fact necessary, the Fund will reimburse at reasonable rates (rates consistent with those <br />pre-approved). <br />In order for future costs for corrective action to be part of the expedited reimbursement <br />process, they must be pre-approved in writing by Fund staff <br />All costs for corrective action must meet the requirements of Article 11, Chapter 16, <br />Underground Storage Tank Regulations in order to be eligible for reimbursement. <br />The Fund will review any tasks/costs that go beyond the pre-approved amount to be <br />determined if the additional tasks and costs are necessary and reasonable. However, if costs <br />exceed the above pre-approved amounts, the Fund will be unable to expedite your <br />Reimbursement Request. <br />The work products must be acceptable to the County. <br />If a different scope of work becomes necessary, then you must request pre-approval of costs <br />on the new scope of work. <br />Although I have referred to the AGE proposal in my pre-approval above, please be aware <br />that you will be entering into a private contract: the State of California cannot compel you to <br />sign any specific contract. <br />I also want to remind you that the Fund's regulations require that you obtain at least three bids, <br />or a bid waiver from Fund staff, from qualified firms for all necessary future corrective action <br />work. If you need assistance in procuring contractor and consultant services, don't hesitate to <br />call me. <br />Please remember that it is still necessary to submit the actual costs of the work as explained in <br />the Reimbursement Request Instructions to confirm that the costs are consistent with this pre- <br />approval before you will be reimbursed. Please insure that your consultant prepares their <br />invoices to include the required breakdown of costs on a time and materials basis, that <br />invoiced tasks are consistent with the original proposal, and that reasonable explanations are <br />provided for any changes made in the scope of work or increases in the costs. When the <br />invoices are submitted you must include copies of all: <br />subcontractor invoices, <br />technical reports, when available, and <br />applicable correspondence from the regulatory agency. <br />Calltbrnia Environmental Protection Agency <br />%0 Recycled Paper
