Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with S. G. Loewendick & Sons, Inc. for the demolition at 5115 Krieger Court.
Under this phase of the project, the existing structures at 5115 Krieger Court will be demolished to begin the development of this site as the home of the CNG West Fueling Complex. When constructed, the fueling station will provide rapid and reliable dispensing of CNG for energy efficient CNG-fueled vehicles, and like the Groves and Morse Road CNG Stations, this station will be a public facility whereby consumers using a credit card will be able to purchase CNG. Additionally, this complex will also provide diesel and unleaded gas to city vehicles only.
CNG vehicles produce significantly lower amounts of harmful emissions such as nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and toxic and carcinogenic pollutants. Natural gas is a domestically available, inherently clean burning fuel. Using compressed natural gas as vehicle fuel increases energy security by reducing our dependence on foreign oil and improves public health and the environment. Currently, CNG is also significantly lower in cost than either gasoline or diesel.
Formal bids were solicited and the City received five bids on April 24, 2015 as follows (0 FBE, 0 MBE):
S. G. Loewendick & Sons, Inc. $32,180.00

The Office of Construction Management recommends that the bid be made to the most responsive and responsible bidder, S. G. Loewendick & Sons.
Emergency action is requested to complete this project in warmer weather and to ensure the overall security/safety of this site by removing this old and outdated structure.
