Mounds View City Council July 26, 2010 Regular Meeting Page 8 Ayes — 5 Nays — 0 Motian carried. H. Resolution 7651, Approving Contract with Pump and Meter Service, Inc. to Repair the Fuel Pumping Station and Tank Monitor Unit at the Public Works Facility. Public Works Supervisor Peterson stated the diesel-powered vehicles and equipment used by the Public Works are re-fueled onsite at the Public Works Facility. The fueling system is comprised of a 3,000 gallon underground tank, a pumping station and a tank monitoring system that includes a monitor unit located inside the Public Works Supervisor's office. The monitoring system is mandated by the MPCA to detect any tank leakage. The tank monitor unit for the fueling system has not properiy worked for some time. A new tank monitor unit is needed to comply with MPCA mandates. Public Works Supervisor Peterson added that the pumping station is showing signs of severe deterioration. After evaluating new and used pumping stations, a determination was made that the cost of a used, rebuilt pumping station would be more cost effective than purchasing a new one. Staff solicited and received quotes from qualified vendors for the necessary repair work. The low quote was submitted by Pump and Meter Service, Inc. of Hopkins, Minnesota for $5,780.14. This repair work was not included in the 2010 budget. Staff recommended a 5% contingency be added the estimated amount to cover unknowns that may be discovered during repairs. This contingency would add $289.86 to the quote amount for a total budget amount not to exceed $6,070. Public Warks Supervisor Peterson recommended the Council award a contract to Pump and Meter Services, Inc. of Hopkins, Minnesota for the necessary repairs to the fuel pumping station and tank monitor unit at the Public Works Facility.
