EcoVac Services offers "pay for performance" remediation of properties
contaminated by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) wherein EcoVac
Services enjoins with the owner/operator in jointly assuming the
risk of a cleanup project. EcoVac Services offers a fixed price
for cleanup and is compensated in direct proportion to its performance
in attaining the cleanup object at the site. This financial arrangement
is an attractive alternative to the "time and materials" basis of
cleanup projects, which many times seemingly does not have a cap
on costs.
EcoVac Services has entered into a number of such projects with
contract values ranging from $125,000 to over $300,000.
EcoVac Services can provide relief from the liability associated
with the cleanup of their properties by not only assuming the cost
of the cleanup, but also allowing our client to remove the liability
from their balance sheet. This is a particularly useful tool for
publicly traded companies desiring to remove reserves allocated
on their balance sheet relating to environmental liabilities, and/or
for companies desiring to relieve themselves of environmental liabilities
relating to real estate transactions.
EcoVac Services can provide protection against third party claims
for offsite migration of plumes originating from our client's site,
as well as protection against unknown plumes existing beneath our
client's site
