The final IFB will include the full auction timeline, a minimum bid, and the Army's <br /> remediation requirements. Based on the current timeline for the release of the IFB, the auction is <br /> not anticipated to occur until the end of September at the earliest. <br /> Ramsey County Park and Open Space Requests <br /> Greg Mack is continuing to work with the GSA to obtain an access agreement to the TCAAP site <br /> for further environmental investigation. The County has recently received a license agreement <br /> from the GSA that will allow them to access the proposed transfer properties and undertake their <br /> due diligence to identify the scope of required remediation. The license agreement will now <br /> have to go to the County Board for approval. Once the license agreement is approved the <br /> County will contract with an environmental consultant contract and Minnesota Pollution Control <br /> Agency's Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup (VIC)program. According to Kevin Legare, the <br /> land transfer would not take place until after any required remediation is complete. The <br /> remediation and land transfer does not yet have a specific timeline, but it will not occur before <br /> the current auction process is complete. <br /> \\Ahdocsl\ah\AHdata\Planning\Community Development\TCAAP\Planning-Public Auction\TCAAP Updates\080910-CC Memo- <br /> TCAAP update.doc <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br />
