r MEMO: MAYOR/CITY COUNCIL FROM: PUBLIC WORKS FOREMEN ULIICH DATE: NOVEMBER 8, 1990 SUBJECT: FUEL TANK REMOVAL State regulations have mandated that the City remove the oldest underground fuel tank by 1991. When bids were received to do the required work, we requested that an additional tank be included in the proposal, since the remaining unleaded fuel tank must be either updated or removed by 1992. We have determined that the removal of this tank would be in the City's best interest and less costly. --You may recall that we have discussed this earlier and have decided that with the limited number of vehicles the City operates on unleaded fuel, we will be purchasing needed fuel at Super America. Both of these tanks can be removed and still remain within the budget. We have requested proposals and bids for the removal of these two tanks form the following companies. • Dahl & Associates, Inc. Ceres $4, 080. 00 $2 , 387 . 00 Both of these bids include total removal and disposal of two, two thousand gallon fuel tanks and all related permits and documentation. The item that is unknown to us is the level of possible soil contamination and cost of disposal of this material. This would be beyond the quoted price. With that in mind we are requesting that the City Council approve the low bid of $2 , 387 . 00 to Ceres, with a ten percent contingency of $238. 00. If any additional funds are needed for site clean-up and disposal of any contaminated soil, we will inform Council and request authorization. I will be at the meeting Monday to answer any question you might have. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the award of bid to Ceres for the removal of both two thousand gallon underground fuel storage tanks for $2 , 387 . 00 with ten percent contingency of $238 . 00 for a total of $2 , 625 . 00 to be charged to Account 100-4260-703 • •
