FROM W. E. SNEE ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS PITTSBURGH 19 TO R. E. YESTER ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS PITTSBURGH 19 SEPTEMBER 7,1993 RE: ALCOA BUILDING ASSESSMENT CONTRACTORS BID UST The following is the list of suggested contractors that you provided me regarding the environmental assessment of the Alcoa Building. I have included some comments based on my discussions with them. As discussed in a earlier memo transmitting the draft scope of work for this project, I would like to be in a position to give the package to you on September 13,1993. 1. Camp Dresser & McKee Inc. -1 interviewed Wendy Reed, they appear to have the qualifications to do the job and so far, their prices have been very . competitive. 2. ERM -1 interviewed Tresa Schuller and they seem fully qualified but it is my understanding that they are having a problem signing our terms and conditions. 3. ICF Kaiser -1 interviewed Chris Kendra and they seem very interested as well as qualified. Chris has called several times and has provided additional information that has been helpful. 4. Geraghty & Miller -1 talked over the phone to Dave Trozo and Al Quagliotti and they seem qualified. 5. Law Environmental -1 also talked over the phone to Tim Goist and they seem well qualified. Don Burrell also asked me to check on an outfit by the name of Murray Associates. The contact there is Paul Messineo (823-2020). I have not had a chance to talk with Paul but he sent me the attached information. The bottom line, I could recommend any of the consultants you gave me. If we are having problems with ERM, I would send the request for bid to CDM, ICF Kaiser, Geraghty & Miller and Law (your call on Murray Associates). cc: Paul Kaut Pgh 9 (without attachment) C60763 01 71 ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS CONTRACTOR LIST Camp Dresser & McKee, Inc. 555 North Bell Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15106 (412) 928-3200 FAX (412) 928-8867 A.
