Re: Oil Tank Replacement - Greystone/Carnwath Estates
Mr. Ruggiero and Town Board Members:
The bides) for the above referenced project were opened today. The following is provided:
Only one bid was received: Orchard Earth and Pipe Corporation, 550 Charles Ave., Solvay, N.Y. 13029.
Base bid amount:
Add alternate tank removal (mansion)
$149,550
$2,500
Unit Prices are as follows:
Contaminated soil removal:
Contaminated ground water removal:
Fuel tank water/sludge removal:
Credit for useable fuel:
$125/ Cubic Yard
$2.75/ Gallon
$400.00/ Drum
$0.00/ Gallon
The base bid was approximately 18% higher than our in house estimate of$127,000.
Several options exist as follows:
1) Accept the bid as presented. This will enable the Town to proceed immediately with the work,
and avoid possible delays or fines imposed by regulatory agencies. Pursue the possibility of cost
saving measures while working with the contractor in providing an equivalent system.
2) Re bid the project allowing additional time for contractors to respond. The risk associated with
this course of action is a potential delay in project completion, which may result in project
completion early in the heating season. This may also increase the chance of a violation from the
'Y
'.
