RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
UKIAH AUTHORIZING CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE
AND ENTER AGREEMENT WITH EBA WASTECHNOLOGIES.
WHEREAS,
1. In response to the City's request EBA
Wastechnologies, Engineers and Environmental Consultants ("EBA"),
has submitted a Proposal for the Preparation of Additional
Engineering Studies for the City of Ukiah Solid Waste Facility,
dated October 1992, a true and correct copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein; and
2. In 1991 EBA prepared a Report of Disposal Site
Information ("RDSI") for the City of Ukiah's landfill which
involved extensive geological and hydrological work by EBA and
Hallenbeck & Associates, including the drilling of several test
wells and water sampling; and
3. As a result of this prior work EBA and Hallenbeck &
Associates are familiar with the landfill and the hydrology and
geology of the area; and
4. As a result of on-site groundwater contamination
detected in preparing the updated RDSI prepared by EBA in 1991 and
revisions to state waste discharge regulations, the City received
a letter from the Regional Water Quality Control Board ("RWQB"),
dated October 5, 1992, which requires the city to submit a
technical supplement to its existing Report of Waste Discharge
("RWD") and to establish and maintain assurances of financial
responsibility for correcting ground water contamination which the
landfill might cause. These conditions will also require the RWQB
to amend the City's Waste Discharge Requirements, when the
supplemental studies are completed. In addition, the City requires
additional analysis of landfill impacts in connection with revising
its current operator's permit and in obtaining an industrial storm
water discharge permit; and
5. To meet these needs EBA has proposed six work items
as follows:
Task I
Task II
Article 5 Monitoring Proposal
Characterize Groundwater Contamination
Task III
Task IV
Revise Report of Waste Discharge
Revise Report of Disposal Site Information

Task V
Industrial Storm Water Discharge Permit
Task VI
Environmental Impact Report for Permit
Revision
6. Soliciting bids for Tasks I - V by Request for
Proposal ("RFP") in accordance with the procedure required by Ukiah
City Code Section 1522, subdivision C2 is not possible because:
a. These task are an augmentation of work,
including on-site data collection, already performed by EBA. Any
other consultant would have to review and/or duplicate work already
completed by EBA, causing added cost and delay;
b. Time does not permit the preparation of RFPs,
advertising for bids and evaluation of proposals, because the City
wants to drill additional wells and perfo£m other onsite work
before winter rains cause significant delays. Time is of the
essence because of city and RWQB concern with identified on-site
groundwater contamination and the need to compile the data base
necessary to revise the City's landfill operator's permit; and
7. These same constraints do not apply to the
preparation of an Environmental Impact Report for Permit Revision,
which will be subject to an RFP.
8. Based on staff's review EBA is the most qualified
firm to perform the work and proposes to perform tasks I - V at a
reasonable cost.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Manager is hereby
authorized to negotiate with EBA a contract, approved as to form by
the City Attorney, to perform those services identified as Tasks I
- V in Exhibit A, attached hereto, and in accordance with the
proposal set forth in Exhibit A for a total price, not to exceed
$109,680.00.
PASSED AND ADOPTED on November 4, 1992, by the following roll call
vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Malone, McMichael, Wattenburger, Shoemaker and
NOES: None Mayor Schneiter
ABSENT: None
