Res 16-7 Assign E&R Lead In Water Remediation 1-17-18.pdf
 
Rationale:
This is to continue to provide third party professional environmental engineering services for the execution & recording phase of the “Lead in Drinking Water” remediation program which was first approved by the Board Via Resolution 16.7 at the stated meeting on January 1, 2018. This is a continuation of this assignment under their $ 1million umbrella requirements No. Contract 619182 awarded by the Board via Res. 17.6 on January 20, 2016.
With District personnel, E&R has derived work plans for every building in the District and in the process of having the “actionable” outlets replaced or permanently removed as identified by the sampling and testing stage of the program in compliance with the “Lead Testing in School Drinking Water” legislation 10-NYCRR Subpart 67-4.
E&R’s tasks include but are not limited to implementing the documented and reproducible program to remove and/or replace approximately 500 water outlets found to be “actionable” under the sampling and testing stage of the program. The newly installed outlets will be sampled and tested.
E&R will be directing Joseph Lombardo Plumbing and Heating, a licensed plumber hired by the District via Res. 17.10 dated November 15, 2017.
Progress has been slower than anticipated due to the unprecedented multistep process required at each outlet that is being replaced. Re-sampling & testing, documentation and control of the work is very labor intensive. The term is likewise being extended to March 31, 2019,
