MOTION
Upon recommendation of Cheryl Porter, Chief Operating Officer - Water and Field Services, the Board of Directors (Board) of the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA), authorizes the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to enter into Contract No. GLWA-DB-303, "Underground Storage Tank, Dispenser and Management System Removal and Replacement" with GHD, at a cost not to exceed $3,991,453.00 for a duration of one year; and authorizes the CEO to take such other action as may be necessary to accomplish the intent of this vote.
BACKGROUND
The GLWA maintains diesel and unleaded fuel underground storage tanks (UST) at each of the five water treatment plants (WTPs) and the Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF). Recent changes to the federal UST regulations (Federal Register: July 15, 2015) will become effective October 13, 2018. These changes prompted GLWA to review the overall age and condition of the UST system piping, tanks, dispensers and management systems, and it was determined that a complete removal and replacement of all systems provided the best long-term solution to address the USTs. The following USTs will be removed and replaced at these locations:
