Is PFP intended to be used at all UST cleanups?
PFP is intended to be used at most, but not all UST cleanups. PFP is intended to be the assumed way the cleanup deal will be structured. Time-and-materials are intended to be the exception, rather than the rule. At sites that pose a very high risk, pose real emergencies, are very complicated, or which are involved in legal conflict, conventional time-and-materials agreements may be appropriate. Even at some of these sites, PFP may still be the better form of business agreement for getting the cleanup done. You might consider using PFP for free-product removal jobs, for example.

At sites that pose a very high risk, pose real emergencies, are very complicated hydrogeologically, or which are ensnarled in legal conflict, conventional time-and-materials agreements may be appropriate.
