The action requested of City Council is to review and consider the approval of the attached proposal from Veterans Fuel Management in the amount not to exceed $24,915.63 for the replacement of the City existing fuel tank sump pump system.  In addition, staff would request City Council approve the attached budget amendment in the amount not to exceed $24,920. While the dollar amount is under $25,000 and can be approved by the City Manager, the request is to transfer the dollar amount from the Fleet Division’s reserves to construct the project.  As City Council is aware, this requires City Council’s approval. 

Subsequent to staff’s required inspection of the City’s existing fuel dispensing system, it has been determined that the fuel sump pump system and tank are in need of replacing.  The pump system and tank are 15 years old and has served its useful time.  Corrosion and a minor fuel leak have been detected and warrants the proposed work prior to a protentional spill into the existing soil environment.
