School 15 - Emergency Declaration - Fuel Oil Storage Tank 11-20-18.pdf
Rationale: This resolution is to grant the administration the authority to enter into the subject contract as per the attached emergency declaration issued by the Superintendent on November 29, 2018.

The equipment on the top of the tank was damaged when the improperly supported pavement over the tank collapsed under the weight of normal parking lot traffic. It was determined that the protective concrete slab that is normally required for such a tank was never installed. The tank itself was still intact but the supporting equipment was damaged. There was no product leak.

The project scope of work includes but is not limited to the excavation of the top of the existing tank and the replacement of fill and vent lines, electrical connections and conduit, installation of a new concrete bearing pad and three new manhole accessways.

Construction is anticipated to commence immediately and be completed within 45 days.
