ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary)
Ratification of Additional Funding for Underground Storage Tank Removal.
BACKGROUND
At the March 3, 2021 Texas City Economic Development Corporation meeting, the Board authorized $50,000 for the removal of asbestos and underground storage tanks and the demolition of property located at #1, 6th Street North. The demolition and abatement occurred in May however, during the process it was determined there were additional storage tanks buried underground than the two that were initially identified. Upon further investigation it was determined there were a total of nine (9) underground storage tanks located on site.
As a result of the findings on site and the Local Government Code requirement to bid out services over $50,000, staff solicited bids for the removal of the 9 underground storage tanks. A total of 5 companies responded to the bids with the lowest qualifying bid received from Inland Environments Ltd., in the amount of $73,880.
At the June 6, 2021, City Commission meeting, the Commission awarded Bid No. 21-405, for the removal of 9 underground storage tanks to Inland Environments Ltd., in the amount of $73,880.

ANALYSIS
Due to the State requirement of bidding construction type services greater than $50,000, staff bid out the services to remove a total of 9 underground storage tanks. The initial work authorized by the TCEDC anticipated the project to cost approximately $50,000 to remove asbestos, demo the existing structure and to remove 2 underground storage tanks. The recommendation at this time is to ratify the additional funding needed to complete the project.
