Funding Source: General Funds of $21 ,896 are budgeted in account No. E-CP-AS-142-6-39-00 (Fuel Storage Tank Measure). Recommended Action: Approve the attached Professional Services Contract; thereby authorizing the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute the contract. Alternative Actlon s : Reject the Recommended Action and advise staff how to proceed. 1 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Meeting Date: May 6, 1996 UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK PROGRAM Analysis: Pursuant to State and Federal regulations, all underground storage tanks must meet 1988 safety:standards by December 22, 1998. The City has 30 underground storage tanks at twelve locations. Compliance with the 1988 standards could have a significant financial impact on the City because some of the tanks may have to be removed and replaced. Due to the seriousness of the situation, staff formed a Task Force, in August of 1995, to determine an appropriate course of action. Representatives from Community Services, Fire, Police, and Public Works met on a monthly basis to develop a plan of action. On December 12, 1995, the findings of the committee were formally presented to the Department Directors. They approved the Task Force recommendation that staff approach the City Council for authorization to solicit proposals from qualified professional firms to prepare a UST Modification/Cost Comparison Study. On January 16, 1996, Council approved the proposal and staff issued an RFP to a dozen selected firms. Eight responses were received and evaluated by the Task Force. Three finalists were interviewed by a panel of four Task Force members, and the firm of Tait & Associates was selected. Under the terms of the agreement Tait and Associates will complete the required study within 60 days of contract approval for a cost not to exceed $21,896.00. This is acceptable to the Task Force and does not exceed the staff estimate of $25,000.00 for such a study. When the study is completed it will be reviewed by staff and presented to Council. It is expected that the study will form the nucleus of a City UST corrective action plan and come before Council at the July 15, 1996 meeting.

B) Planning studies for each fueling system site proposed to remain snowing the proposed facilities to be installed with traffic pattern, and ingress, egress defined. C) Detailed alternative compliance strategies per site with cost comparisons for the various options. 5. Review final documents with the City's representative and other personnel at the discretion of the City.

JONES II `-- f 4 SUBJECT: UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK RAM Statemant of Issue,Funding Source,Recommended Action,Alternative Action,Analysis,Environmental Status,Attachment( W Statement of Issue: Federal and State laws require that all Underground Storage Tanks (UST's) meet 1988 standards for spill, overfill and corrosion protection by December 22, 1998. EMndina Source: General Funds of $66,200 are budgeted in account No. E-CP-AS-142-6-39-00 (Fuel Storage Tank Measure). R commended Action: Authorize staff to solicit proposals from a professional firm to prepare a UST Modification/Cost Comparison Study. Alternative Action(s): Direct City staff to prepare the study. C' i Analysis: Pursuant to State and Fedeal Regulations, all underground fuel storage tanks must meet 1988 safety standards by December 22, 1998. The City has 30 underground storage at twelve locations. Compliance with the 1988 standards could have a significant financial impact on the City because some of the tanks may have to be removed and replaced. Due to the seriousness of the situation, staff formed a Task Force Committee, in August of 1995, to determine an appropriate course of action. Representatives from Community Service, Fire, Police and Public Works met on a monthly basis to develop a plan of action. On December 12, 1995, the findings of the Committee were formally presented to the Department Directors. This issue can, and probably shall, involve soil and groundwater remediations; therefore, it is recommended that Council authorize staff to solicit proposals from qualified professional firms to prepare a LIST 'Modification/Cost Comparison Study. The decision to obtain a professional consultant, for this matter, can be summarized by the following: 1. Expertise The investigation, summary and alternative recommendations must come from a source which specializes in underground fuel storage, as the issue can, and probably shall, include soil and groundwater remediation. The City has been involved before in soil and groundwater remediation efforts. These efforts can be very expensive and prolonged therefore, it is essential that an individual with specific credentials and expertise be retained to recommend the most effective and economical methods for remediation. In addition, the City will be required to afford an alternative means of providing fuel when the old tanks are removed. There are several ways to achieve this end and these alternatives must be explored, explained, and cost estimates applied in order for the City to identify the best for its needs. 2. Timing The City is required to comply with State Law by December 1998. Staff believes that, due to the possible cost consequences of this legislation and subsequent evaluation, extensions may be granted if the City has shown good faith and effort in reaching compliance. Therefore, a timely and complete evaluation is necessary in order to determine a time frame for action and the potential costs as soon as possible. Staff does not believe that, given current workload, this can be done in- house in a reasonable time frame. 0016443.01 3. Objectivity It is possible that the best alternative may not favor an individual department or group. It is essential however, that impartiality and cost effectiveness be foremost in the recommendation. Pursuant to this recommendation, staff has attached the following documents: 1. A preliminary Work Schedule 2. The Request for Proposals 3. The appropriate"Sample" Consultant Contract Based on the Work Schedule a final study, with recommendations, will be presented to Council in June. Environmental Status: Categorically Exempt.

The City of Huntington Beach has thirty underground storage tanks at twelve different locations, many of which do not meet 1988 standards. Those which do not will have to be replaced or abandoned in place, and, if leakage has occurred, the cost to upgrade nonconforming UST's could be as much as $500,000 per tank. ACTIONS: Due to the seriousness of the situation, staff has formed a UST Task Force to study the issues and formulate a workable program. Task Force members were appointed by the department heads of Police, Fire, Community Services and Public Works, all UST operators. The Task Force has been meeting regularly since August. They have examined available data and considered alternatives. It is their recommendation that an outside consultant be retained to draft a plan by which the City can best conform to the requirements of the mandate. This option was selected because staff lacks the resources and expertise which a consultant could focus on the problem. Staff has prepared a draft RFP, a sample professional services contract and a tentative work schedule. The schedule proposes going to City Council in January for approval to hire a consultant, selecting a consultant in March, and returning to Council with a final report in June. FUNDING: Existing UST legislation constitutes another unfunded Federal mandate which is complicated by the need to comply with State regulations. City General Fund monies in the amount of $66,200 are available in the current (FY 95-96) budget (Account Number E-CP-AS-142-6-39-00). Limited reimbursement for selected items can be obtained from the State through the RUST Fund, but payments come only after the expenditures are made. RECOMMENDATION: Proceed with a report (RCA) to the City Council and, upon approval, begin the process of selecting a consultant. ATTACHMENT: UST Site Data Sheet UST SITE DATA Location Dept.

The objectives of the consultant are as follows: A. Evaluate the current UST system and determine what modifications are necessary to meet 1988 regulations. B. Consider cost efficient alterations to the current system including but not limited to consolidation of sites, a "card lock" system, or some combination of the two. C.
