Re: Lead Paint Risk Assessment/inspectional Services Contract Amendment
The City currently has a contract with Aichemy Lead Management to perform lead-paint Risk
Assessments/Lead-Inspections (LIRA). The contract is funded under the City’s grant from HUD's Office of
Lead Hazard Control & Healthy Homes, in the amount of $150,000 and expired February 1, 2020. The
original contract included conducting inspections in 150 housing units over the three-year grant period.
The contract included set costs for the various components of a LIRA. These include initial inspections, initial
lead-dust hazard wipes, soil samples, clearance inspection and post-work lead-dust hazard wipes. We
estimated the total cost for each unit to be $1,000.00. Actual costs have averaged $1,150/unit, which will
leave us approximately $22,500.00 short. This variance is primarily due to the number of lead-dust hazard
wipes and soil samples required, which depends on the size of the unit and property.
In order to address the under-estimated costs and continue services through the end of the grant period, the
Urban Programs Department executed a contract amendment to increase the value to $172,500.00 and to
extend the expiration date to December 31, 2020.
