<br /> Final Acceptance - Fuel Tank Removal and Fuel Monitoring Improvements Project
<br /> Recommendation
<br /> Accept, by motion, the Fuel Tank Removal and Fuel Monitoring Improvements Project,
<br /> and authorize the release of bonds and retention.
<br /> Background
<br /> On December 1, 2003, the City Council accepted the bids and awarded the contract to
<br /> Technology, Engineering and Construction, Inc. (dba Accutite) of South San Francisco,
<br /> California, for the Fuel Tank Removal and Fuel Monitoring Improvements Project, in the
<br /> amount of $104,085.00. The project involved fueling stations at Fire Stations Nos. 9,
<br /> 10, 11, 12, & 20, the Police Facility, and the Park Satellite yard at Redwood Shores.
<br /> This project covers the removal of the fuel tank at Fire Station No. 10, thus reducing the
<br /> number of fueling sites for the City's fleet from eight to seven, and leaving two
<br /> remaining underground installations (Fire Station No. 9 and Police Facility). The
<br /> installation at Fire Station No. 10 is outdated, and frequent testing of the tank is making
<br /> the operation at this site impractical. The removal of this facility should not impact
<br /> operations to any significant degree, and there is no plan to replace the facility.
<br /> All the tanks and dispensers are now in compliance with new regulations by both the
<br /> County and the Air District. The new monitoring system allows real time leak monitoring
<br /> and leak notification from all sites, and will be done through e-mail for better reliability
<br /> and faster response. This is a vast improvement from the daily manual report printing
<br /> and fax polling of the old system, which also did not cover every site.
<br /> A total of two Change Orders were issued during the construction of the project:
<br /> Change Order #1 was issued to take care of unforeseen conditions, and Change Order
<br /> #2 added scope required by the Regional Air Quality Management Board. Change
<br /> Order #2 amounted to $7,450.00, and the requirement was not apparent at the time of
<br /> design. This requirement came about only when the gasoline tank at the Police Facility
<br /> failed a newly-implemented test. The repair triggered further improvement, mandated
<br /> by the new requirement. This new requirement represents the added scope. Change
<br /> Order #2 pushed the cost overage above the 10% customary threshold. The Change
<br /> Orders total $15,933, which is 15.3% of the original bid price.
