Explanation
Background: The Fleet Management Division discovered a leak in an underground fuel line at the Short Street fuel facility in December 2005. Because the leak was underground, and because there were previous underground fuel tank leaks at the Short Street fuel island, the State of Ohio Bureau of Underground Storage Tank Regulations (BUSTR) required a Tier I assessment of the entire fuel island site. Following an informal bid process, the Fleet Management Division entered into contract with Resource International, Inc. (Rii) for the Tier I assessment, which was completed in December 2006. Due to the test results of the Tier I assessment, BUSTR requires a Tier I Delineation. A second assessment (Tier I Delineation) should be completed by the same firm that conducted the original Tier I assessment; therefore, the Fleet Management Division is requesting waiver of competitive bids to have Resource International conduct the Tier I Delineation. Rii was selected for the original Tier I assessment as the lowest and best bid based upon informal quotes received in 2006. (The other quotes were submitted by Burgess & Niple and ATS Chester).
Fiscal Impact: This ordinance authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to enter into a contract with Resource International Inc., for a Tier I Delineation of the Short Street fuel location. The Fleet Management Division budgeted $25,000.00 for this assessment in the 2007 operating budget. Rii has agreed to complete this assessment for an amount of up to $21,940.00.
Resource International, Inc. Contract Compliance Number 31-0669793,expiration date 07/29/2008. This firm is a certified female business enterprise (FBE).
Emergency action is being requested so that the Tier I Delineation can be completed and the Fleet Management Division can respond to BUSTR by July 2007.
