PURPOSE: This is a multi-year contract to assist in the implementation of the Department of Ecology Agreed Order (AO).
BACKGROUND: .
? This Agreement is the product of County RFQ No. 23-004BC. Landau Associates Inc was selected as the most qualified company to perform the services required by the Department of Ecology Agreed Order.
? Snohomish County Airport has been investigating environmental contamination at the Former Tect Lease Area since the early 1990's with Remedial Investigation (RI) reports submitted to the Department of Ecology.
? On November 23, 2021, the Airport submitted a request to enter the Department of Ecology Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP). The VCP program provides oversight of straight forward typical cleanup actions.
? On March 17, 2022, Ecology provided written notice that the Airport was a Potentially Liable Party (PLP) for the environmental contamination at the former Tect lease area.
? On February 1, 2023, Ecology formally terminated Airport's enrollment in the VCP and deemed the site too complex and an Agreed Order (AO) would be required.

? This Agreement in the amount NTE $1,694,100, will perform the required tasks in the Agreed Order.
