Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 08, 2010 Page 6 Councilmember Ihlan suggested that, if PIK property owners would be required to eventually perform additional testing on their parcel, it would be prudent for the City and PIK property owners coordinate testing now to avoid the City paying for something at a later date. Mr. Trudgeon concurred that such a scenario would be the best option; and ad- vised that the staff would do its best for the City and that future action may still require such a coordinated venture. Mr. Trudgeon advised that, in order for the City to receive the $1 million in grant funds, this portion of the project needed to be characterized at this time, and that additional work may be required as this pro- ject or future projects move forward. Mr. Trudgeon advised that the MPCA, based on their initial review, was requesting this further information, and would also have to approve additional tests. Further discussion included additional boring sites referenced in the MPCA letter located on the edge of City property and as close to the edge of adjoining proper- ties as possible to provide a better sense of the potential contamination source; other potential sources and levels of contamination that may be unknown at this time; and projected flow of groundwater into properties to the south. Councilmember Ihlan offered her support of this request; and suggested that if the MPCA was willing to have future coordination between the City and private property owners in resolving this issue, that would make sense. Councilmember Roe requested clarification of the form "General Conditions for Roseville City Projects" on Braun Intertec letterhead, and whether this repre- sented their terms or those of the City. Mr. Trudgeon advised that those were the terms from Braun geared toward the City of Roseville, specific to changing the liability amounts to an acceptable amount and other terms acceptable to the City. Mr. Trudgeon noted that, as the City transitioned to the new City Attorney, he could not confirm that the contract as presented was in its final form. Councilmember Roe concurred that the terms of this supplemental contract should be based on the most beneficial terms to the City; and confirmed with staff that the purpose of the additional soil borings and their locations was to characterize movement across the site by having those different mutations. Klausing moved, Johnson seconded, approval of a contract between the City of Roseville and Braun Intertec to undertake soil and water sampling, testing and analysis in order to gain Pollution Control Agency (PCA) approval for the Re- sponse Action Plan and Construction Contingency Plan for the Phase II Infra- structure Project in the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area, said contract not to ex- ceed $16,260.
