VANCOUVER, Wash. – The Port of Vancouver Board of Commissioners meets Tuesday, August 12, in a regularly-scheduled meeting, and will consider three action items.
Among the items Commissioners Brian Wolfe, Nancy Baker and Jerry Oliver will consider are a change order for environmental cleanup action, award of a public works contract for construction of a TCE groundwater pump and treat interim action facility, and authorization of a services agreement for the West Vancouver Freight Access project.
The meeting is set to begin at 9:30 a.m., following an executive session, in the Commission Room at the port’s administration building, located at 3103 NW Lower River Road in Vancouver.
Change order for TCE cleanup
Port staff is asking commissioners to authorize Executive Director Larry Paulson to sign a change order for $2.1 million, including an expiration date of December 31, 2009, to a personal service contract with Parametrix, Inc. for the TCE cleanup project in Fruit Valley.
The necessity of the change order is to support the port’s efforts to meet its obligations to the State Department of Ecology, including air and groundwater monitoring and completion of required project documents; oversee construction of the groundwater pump and treat interim action at the former Swan Manufacturing site; and manage the environmental obligations associated with the Cadet facility including appropriate reporting.
Award public works contract for cleanup project
Staff will also request authorization for Paulson to sign a public works contract with Rotschy, Inc. (Yacolt, Wash.) for the construction of the TCE Groundwater Pump and Treat Interim Action project.
This project was included in the 2008 capital budget as a part of TCE cleanup costs. The fiscal year 2008 budget includes $3.9 million for the cleanup system. The winning bid from Rotschy is for a not-to-exceed amount of $3,089,925.93, including Washington State sales tax. Project completion is expected by April 30, 2009.
The pump-and-treat system will accelerate the remainder of the TCE cleanup in the groundwater under Fruit Valley.
Rail project services agreement amendment
As work continues on the port’s West Vancouver Freight Access project, a need has arisen to purchase property for construction and track relocation in areas not currently owned by the port. In an effort to complete its due diligence and surveying of these properties before any proposed property transactions, staff will ask the commission to authorize Paulson to sign a contract amendment to the On-Call Master Services Agreement with HDR Inc., for engineering and consulting services relating to completion of task order No. 5 relating to the rail project.
The contract amount will not exceed $300,000.
The meeting will be televised live on CVTV, and will be streamed live on www.cvtv.org.
