Re: Costs Estimates for Environmental Services 1991
Dear Jim:
February 7, 1991
I am attaching the cost estimate you requested for environmental services for the
1991 period. Instead of just giving you the total estimate, I have broken out the
costs for individual tasks (a total of 10 tasks) to give you a better picture of where
the money would be spent. There are nine specific tasks, eight of which are for the
pretreatment program which is still undergoing development; the ninth covers the
toxicity reduction evaluation. There is a tenth task which I call "miscellaneous"
which would be for unexpected projects that arise from time to time (like the copper
study and Brushy Creek sampling in 1990).
Of the eight pretreatment tasks, I consider four items as key items where our service
will be most useful and have marked these on the attachment. The other four are by
no means unimportant, but if it is necessary to scale -back costs, these four items are
where you should look.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

SUBJECT: City Council Meeting, March 14, 1991
ITEM: 13E. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter
into a contract with Tischler/Kocurek for environmental
engineering services.
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Jim Nuse
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: In order to continue with required
environmental programs such as Toxicity Reduction Evaluations, the pre-
treatment program, development of local limits and related reporting to EPA,
I request that the City continue environmental engineering services with
Tischler/Kocurek of Round Rock. I propose that we engage them for items: #1
for $2,800; #5 for $2,800; THE for $4,000; and combine items 2,4,6 and 8 for
$4,200. The total authorization will be $13,800.
Tischler/Kocurek's abilities in these matters augments our staff. I believe
that this is a good expenditure by the City.
