PURPOSE: Obtain approval of Amendment No. 5 for contract for Legal Services for increase in compensation for the southeast area of the airport and tangential locations (Tect)

 

BACKGROUND:
• Long term tenants of the Snohomish County Airport and other outside entities may have caused or contributed to hazardous waste, substances, pollutants and contaminants on various locations of Airport property.

• By previous motions (20-254, 23-088), Snohomish County has entered into a legal professional services agreement with Hillis Clark Martin & Peterson, P.S. (“HCMP”) for consultation and legal advice regarding the southeast area of the airport and tangential locations (Tect) at the Snohomish County Airport.

• An Amendment to the contract is necessary for additional compensation as follows: contract for Southeast areas of Airport (Tect), increase of $95,000, not to exceed a total contract amount of $275,000.

• Continuing advice from the same attorneys who are now at the HCMP firm is critical to potential legal action, remedies and damages is necessitated by such tenancy and environmental issues.
