Title
Approval of a contract with Petroleum Solutions, Inc. for the removal and disposal of three underground fuel storage tanks located at the New Braunfels Regional Airport.
Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
The City of New Braunfels solicited a bid to obtain the services of a qualified contractor to remove and dispose of three (3) underground storage tanks located at the New Braunfels Regional Airport. The purpose of the 12,000-gallon fiberglass tanks is for the onsite storage of aviation fuel and they have received routine, recommended maintenance since their installation. However, the tanks were removed from service several years ago so it has been advised to dispose of the tanks for environmental health and safety.
The turn-key project includes, but is not limited to, the awarded contractor meeting proper licensing and permitting requirements, demolition services to remove and dispose of three (3) underground tanks, piping and accessories, remediation of contaminated soil if applicable, and restoring excavations with backfill to grade.
A request for Competitive Sealed Proposals was issued on June 16, 2017 and responses were opened on July 6, 2017. The City received three (3) proposals which were evaluated upon price, project scheduling, and relevant experience of the respondents.
The highest ranking vendor is Petroleum Solutions, Inc. based upon all evaluation factors as they submitted the lowest bid price but are also very qualified and experienced in similar projects. All work assigned shall be completed prior to September 30, 2017.
The base cost of the project is $33,867. Due to the type of work being performed, during the course of the project it may be necessary to remove residual liquids in the tanks and/or contaminated soil from the work site for an additional estimated cost of $8,000. Therefore, the total award for the project is $41,867.
