To the Honorable City Council:
I respectfully request an appropriation of $964,344 from the Unreserved Fund Balance/Free Cash Account to the Arthur Healey Schoolyard Renovation Account (Fund # 5169), for the purpose of removal of contaminated soils discovered during on-going renovations at the Healey Schoolyard/Fields project.
During construction of the current Healey Schoolyard/Fields project contaminated soils were discovered during excavation work. The project team has worked with our Licensed Site Professional, the State DEP, and existing contractor to identify acceptable disposal sites. The appropriation request before you is the estimated remediation cost barring the discovery of any additional unforeseen contamination.
My staff will be available to address any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration of this item.
Respectfully Submitted,
Katjana Ballantyne, Mayor
