Martin Luther King Jr. Dr., is the site of a possible former gas station in the past. Over the last <br /> several years the City of Decatur has participated in the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's Site Remediation Program <br /> which started the process of remediating the site for possible future development. With no real development in the planning <br /> process and tight budget constraints, the work to fully remediate the site had been postponed. Now with a proposed planned <br /> development on the horizon for this area, it is imperative for the City to continue with the Site Remediation Program to receive a <br /> "No Further Remediation" letter from the IEPA. An environmental consultant is warranted to perform professional services in <br /> order to receive this "No Further Remediation" letter. Fehr-Graham has an extensive working history with the IEPA and was <br /> previously retained by the City for Brownfield site assessment projects. <br /> The professional service fee(not to exceed$24,000)would be covered by the Economic Development funds in the approved 2018 <br /> annual City budget. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Additional questions can be forwarded to Billy Tyus at 217-424-2727(btyus@decaturil.gov)or <br /> Raymond Lai at 217-424-2335(rlai@decaturil.gov) <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: None <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> Description Type <br /> Resolution Resolution better <br /> Agreement Backup Material <br /> https:Hdecatur.novusagenda.com/AgendaWeb/CoverSheet.aspx?ItemID=1653 8/17/2018 <br />
