"The 1993/94 Capital Improvement Plan authorized continued funding for the removal and replacement of underground petroleum storage tanks. This year's project identified the Coast Guard Base located at First and Wythe Streets for tank removal and the Park Maintenance Facility on Victory Boulevard for tank replacement. As background information, previous tank removal projects have yielded approximately 200 cubic yards of contaminated soil which has required removal and treatment. Separate bids have been received for each of these items and a listing of the bidders is attached for your review. Bids received for the three projects total $40,012, however, additional funds will be needed if remedial work is indicated at the project sites. The Assistant City Manager has recommended that the low bidder for each project be awarded bids and that $70,000 be appropriated to cover bids, necessary remedial work and contingencies. I concur with this recommendation and request appropriation in the amount of $70,000. With your approval of this item, the balance in the Capital Improvements Fund will be $10,179,991." Motion by Mr. Pitts, and seconded by Mr. Robinett, to adopt the following ordinance, and was adopted by the following vote: "ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE $70,000.00 FROM THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FUND FOR THE REMOVAL OF UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK (UST) SYSTEMS AT THE OLD COAST GUARD BASE AT FIRST AND WYTHE STREETS, THE INSTALLATION OF ABOVE GROUND TANKS AT THE PARK MAINTENANCE FACILITY ON VICTORY BOULEVARDS AND THE REMOVAL AND TREATMENT OF CONTAMINATED SOIL FROM PREVIOUS TANK REMOVAL PROJECTS."
