TENDER NO. T87-29, UNDERGROUND FUEL STORAGE TANKS
Tenders were received and tabulated as follows:
Bidder Bid Amount Bid Amount
Option "A" Option "B"
(Fibreglass) (Steel Tank with
Cathodic Protection)
KLD Construction Ltd. $31,150.00 $28,000.00
Ajax, Ontario
S. DeMelis Construction Ltd. $37,175.58 $34,325.58
Maple, Ontario
Oilco Maintenance Company Inc. $37,349.74 $35,0177.10
Oshawa, Ontario
In accordance with the Gasoline Handling Act, all steel tanks that do not have
cathodic protection must be replaced by the year 1990.
In comparing Option "A" with Option "B", Option "A" is recommended for the
following reasons:
1. No maintenance cost involved with fibreglass tank.
The steel tanks with catodic protection require yearly inspections
and maintenance by outside contractors.
2. Abundance of salt in the Public Works Yards which is highly corrosive
to steel.
3. The fibreglass tanks are adaptable to relocation without damaging the
tanks where as the cathodic protection on the steel tanks is easily
damaged and is therefore very difficult to relocate.
4. All Ministry of Transportation tenders for storage tanks specify
fibreglass only.
The required funds will be drawn from the 1987 Public Works Equipment Reserve
from which there are adequate funds available.
