REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Dustin Johnson, Project Engineer
Craig Woolard, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with Tetra Tech Inc. For continued post-closure ground water monitoring at the Story Mill Landfill.
MEETING DATE: December 2, 2013
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize City Manager to sign.
BACKGROUND: Since the City of Bozeman has been required by the Montana Department
of Environmental Quality (DEQ) in 1994 Tetra Tech (previously Maxim Technologies) has been contracted with the City to assist in the work. The nature of the contract has been to assist the City of Bozeman in sampling, maintaining, and monitoring post closure parameters at the Story
Mill Landfill to keep the landfill in compliance with State and Federal regulations.
Each year Tetra Tech prepares a task order outlining the proposed monitoring costs for the upcoming year. Ground water sampling events typically take place twice a year (once in June and once in December). Tetra Tech takes the samples, processes the data, and prepares a
report for the DEQ for each event. The annual cost for the Tetra Tech’s services typically cost
from about $50,000 to $60,000. The proposed cost for this task order is $53,627.35.
The work requested with this task order is separate from the ongoing soil vapor study. This work has been reviewed and approved by the DEQ.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The entire project will be funded through the Solid Waste Landfill
Closure/Post-Closure Fund. ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
Attachments: Task Order from Tetra Tech Inc.
