ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES FOR 5146 EDEN AVENUE CHANGE OF SCOPE AUTHORIZED
Economic Development Manager Neuendorf noted the HRA engaged Braun Intertec to conduct a Phase
I environmental assessment of the former Public Works site prior to demolition. During the demolition,
Braun was also tasked with monitoring soil conditions for signs of contamination. The cost of this
original work was $16,950.00.
During the demolition process, environmental contamination (petroleum products and hydraulic fluid)
was discovered. This was documented as Leak # 19190. In order to complete the professional services
and secure approvals from the MPCA, Mr. Neuendorf stated it was necessary to expand Braun's scope
of work. The expanded scope of services would include: final oversight of petroleum remediation,
documentation of remaining hydraulic fluid, testing for any remaining petroleum contamination and
application for partial reimbursement from the MN Department of Commerce Petro-Fund.
The cost of these additional services has been proposed at $21,005.10 resulting in a total contract
amount of $37,955.10. Mr. Neuendorf said funds were anticipated to come from the remaining
Grandview TIF assets with a portion possibly reimbursed from the MN Petro-Fund.
Motion made by Commissioner Brindle, seconded by Commissioner Sprague approving the change of
scope of services and authorizing the HRA Chair and Executive Director to execute the necessary
agreements with Braun Intertec and to apply for reimbursement through the MN Petro-Fund.
Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Sprague, Swenson, Hovland
Motion carried.
Chair Hovland declared the meeting adjourned at 9:25 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Scott Ne , Ex_;culwe Director
