Rationale: This resolution is to award IFB-6684, CIP10922 “Fuel Oil Tank Restoration” at Martin Luther King, Jr. Academy, to Luzon Oil Company, Inc. dba/Luzon Environmental Services (Luzon), for the amount of $123,747.00 for term of 365 calendar days.

In December, 2020 the source of a small oil puddle in the tank vault room was confirmed as a leak at bottom of the 10,000-gallon steel heating oil tank in the vault room. Since the leak is at the bottom of tank, the tank had to be emptied immediately and a spill case was reported to the DEC. A temporary tank was delivered and put into service to facilitate heating the building until the existing tank can be restored to full function.

Bids were opened in public and read aloud on September 24, 2021. Two bids were received. Bids were examined, determining that Luzon is the lowest responsive and responsible bidder with recent successful completion of District capital projects. The next bid was $213,066.00.

The work was designed by Eisenbach & Ruhnke Engineering, PC (E&R) who provided a letter of recommendation to award and estimated the work to be $150,000.

This restoration of the existing fuel tank is work in place and includes but is not limited to continuous welding of all interior seams, coating the interior, testing, providing a 10-year warranty and additional work as specified to restore tank to full function.

Construction is anticipated to commence on or about November 1, 2021. All work shall be completed within 60 days.
