RECOMMENDATION:
l
Authorize the solicitation of bids for Civic Center Fuel Tank
Removal.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
The construction budget for this project is $45,000, of which
$25,000 is proposed to be paid from the Internal Service Fund and
the balance from the General Fund.
DESCRIPTION: In the Spring of 2005, Staff advised the City Council that the Bay
Area Air Quality Management District was requiring another upgrade to the City's gasoline dispensing
system at an estimated cost of over $10,000. The continual requirement for envirorunental upgrades,
coupled with the potential environmental hazard of underground fuel storage, precipitated a
recommendation that operation of the City's on-site fuel dispensing system be terminated and that a
Capital Improvement Project to remove the tank be budgeted for Fiscal Year 2005-2006. An agreement
with Alameda County was then approved to allow fueling of City vehicles at Alameda County fueling
stations.
This project would remove the 10,000-gallon gasoline tank, fuel pump, and associated piping, perform all
required environmental testing, and backfill and pave the excavation. The gasoline tank is located under
the drive aisle of the police parking lot. County Environmental Health regulations will not allow the tank
to remain in the ground once operation has ceased.
A portion of the project cost is proposed to be paid from Internal Service Funds which had been set aside
for future tank replacement.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the solicitation of bids for Civic Center Fuel Tank
Removal.
