Bidder List JLC Environmental Consultants, Inc. Enviro Techniques, Inc. Airteck Environmental Corp. Athenica Enviroiunental Services, Inc. Kam Consultants Corp. Hygienetics Environmental Services, Inc.

FAX bids were received from all six bidders.

Identical low bids of $1,300per day plus $45 for each Transmission Electron Microscopy sample were received from JLC Environmental Consultants, Inc. (“JLC”) and from Enviro Techniques, Inc. JLC’s fax bid had the earliest date/time stamp. BEC staff broke the tie by selecting the fax bid with the earliest date/time stamp of the two tied bidders, that of JLC. BEC has since been informed by my office that §3-02(p) of the PPB Rules provides for tie-breaking procedures. However, since this was an emergency situation, the Operating Bureau’s rush to expedite the emergency bid process is understandable. JLC’s bid was $1,300 per day plus $45 for each Transmission Electron Microscopy sample.

The Contract maximum amount was set at $50,000.00.

JLC has not held a prior DEP contract, and there is no information on JLC on the Vendex database.

The agency has let the following two related emergency contracts:

1) Contract WTC-REM to provide round-the-clock asbestos remediation including clean-up and removal at various sites in the vicinity of the World Trade Center; and

2) Contract WTC-AIR to provide emergency air monitoring in the vicinity of the World Trade Center site.

On September 13,2001 the Corporation Counsel and the Comptroller jointly issued a blanket approval for all emergency contracts related to the events of September 11,2001.

Very tmly yours.
