Kendall St Date: November 02, 2010 The attached Professional Services Agreement is a proposal from Phifer Environmental Services for additional site investigation at 1521 / 1527 S. Kendall St. A Phase I was completed by Phifer Environmental for this property on June 21, 2010, which revealed certain Recognized Environmental Conditions. A Phase II was recommended, approved by the Commission on July 23, 2010, and completed on October 12, 2010. The Phase II revealed Tetrachroethylene in the ground water at the two most eastern of the four sample sites on this property, which over the years has been a car repair and body shop. Tetrachroethylene is a chemical traditionally used in the dry cleaning business. Because historically there was a dry cleaner a half block to the south, and a Laundromat directly to the south of this property, it is suggested that further analysis be done. This analysis will consist of five geoprobes to be installed around the perimeter of this property, to collect water and soil samples. The water samples will be tested to try to determine from which direction the Tetrachroethylene is coming from, and that this site is not the source of contamination. Total project services cost is a not to exceed of $5,175. Staff requests approval of this Professional Services Agreement, to allow a Supplemental Phase II Environmental Site Assessment to be completed for this property. What We Do Today Makes A Difference!
