(See Resolution R160-90 canvassing the returns of the municipal election held on the 6th day of November, 1990, In the City of Andover. Mayor - Ken Orttel; Councllmembers - MarJorie Perry and Jack McKelvey) Motion carried unanimously. AWARD BID/FUEL TANKS Mr. Stone reviewed the bids received for the underground fuel tank that will meet State and Federal codes. Money could be saved by dropping the double-wall tank; however, it is felt that wI I I become manditory In a few years anyway. The card system Is extra, but he felt It Is necessary to be able to determine who Is using the gas and fuel. The system also computes any movement In the tanks, Including leaks. DiscussIon was on the cost of this proposal for the City to have its own fuel tanks versus buying gas from the local gas stations. Mr. Stone felt the City has better control over how much and what goes Into theIr equipment. It is also very Inconvenient to get some of the equipment to a gas station, and the blend of diesel fuel used by the City Is not always available at service stations. The City's cost for bulk fuel Is approximately 35 cents per gallon less than at service stations. ~- Special Ci ty Counci I Meeting Minutes - November 8, 1990 Page 2 (Award BId/Fuel Tanks, Continued) Counc II then discussed the financing proposal as suggested by Mr. Stone: $15,000 budgeted under "Public Works Building", bond I ng for $15,000, $8,000 remaining from the Vacal unit, and $5,150 from the moneys left over from the 1979 Fire Department/Public Works Building Bond. It was fel t that this would be an appropriate use of the money left over from the 1979 public safety bond since both Public Works and the Fire Department will benefit from it. Mr. Stone also noted the cost of removing any soil contamination is extra. However, there shouldn't be any contamination because the existing tanks are only ten years old and should not be leaking. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, authorize the Staff to draw a Resolution authorizing the transfer of approximatelY $5,150 out of the PIR Fund to be applied to the purchase of a fiberglass tank and the piping system tor Public Works and Fire Department. Motion carried unanlmous]y. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, that the Ci ty Council authorize the purchase of a double wall fiberglass tank and piping system with pump card system and Island bumpers from Zahl Eqvlpment Company for a total bid price of $43,150. Counc II recognizes the other bidder, Griggs Contracting for the same option. Their price Is $45,970; that the funds for this purchase come from the following sources: $15,000 which Is budgeted under the Public Works Building line Item, $15,000 in bonding, $8,000 which remains from the purchase of a Vacal unit which has been ordered, and the remaining $5,150 from the PIR fund which funds are authorized under a separate Resolution.
