a -,.A IC SERVICES <br />March 14, 2011 <br />Dr. Glenn Longley, Director SENT VIA E-MAIL <br />Edwards Aquifer Research & Data Center <br />248 FAB, Texas State University <br />San Marcos, TX 78666 <br />Dr. Longley: <br />Please accept this letter as a formal request to Texas State University to waive indirect cost recovery factors or <br />other overhead multipliers in relation to the City of San Marcos Interlocal Agreement for provision of Sampling <br />and Analytical Services to establish baseline water quality conditions in the vicinity of Hunter Rd. between <br />McCarty and Centerpoint Roads. This request is in recognition of the mutual benefit both parties will receive <br />in protecting our drinking water quality for both the City and University populations. The study will help ensure <br />we prevent future degradation of our water supply as development occurs in the recharge areas. <br />The City is willing to fund the actual work in an approximate amount of $36,000 but would find the additional <br />amount difficult to obtain. The City of San Marcos and Texas State University have long standing contracts <br />which have benefitted both parties for many years to provide analytical services relating to our water system <br />noeration. This waiver would allow this important work to proceed and help us understand the pre- <br />glopment condition of the Edwards Aquifer water in that area. <br />I Lnank you for your prompt consideration of this request. <br />Sincerely, <br />Thomas P. Taggart <br />Director of Public Services <br />City of San Marcos, Texas <br />cc: Laurie Moyer, Asst. City Manager, COSM <br />Roxanne Nemcik, Asst.
