Does DES have a reasonable cost guidance document available?
DES has a list of pre-approved budgets for various corrective action tasks. The package is available The pre-approved scopes of work allow for work to proceed without any additional approvals from DES, provided the facility meets all required eligibility criteria. A “not-to-exceed” engineering budget has been established for these tasks, and subcontractor costs are to be reimbursed at “prevailing market rates”. See the “Report on Prevailing Market Rates and Pre-Approved Workscopes” on the Waste Management Divisions Home Page under Petroleum Reimbursement Fund Program.
