Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to establish a contract on behalf of the Division of Fleet Management with Advanced Fuel Systems, Inc. to assess, renovate and remediate the City fuel and generator site locations. This service was bid via solicitation SA005570 and Advanced Fuel Systems was deemed the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
The intent of the specification is to provide the option of purchasing fuel station renovations, maintenance and parts for fuel dispensing operations and fueling systems for stationary generators. The City of Columbus operates over 50 fuel stations and over 70 stationary generators.
In addition, there is also a need for record keeping services, regulatory management, and fuel tank components for Underground Storage Tanks (UST’s) and Above Ground Storage Tanks (AST’s) for fuel stations, generator fuel tanks (aka belly tanks), day tanks (fuel tank component for generators) and fuel tank monitoring systems that monitor fuel tank operating conditions and fuel tank levels.
Emergency action is requested so that Fleet Management can address renovations to capital assets as immediate needs may arise. This is of special consideration given the broad scope of city fuel infrastructure assets managed by the Division of Fleet Management.
