CT CONTRACT FOR REMOVAL DISPOSAL AND REPLACEMENT OF PCB TRANSFORMERS AND PCB
~~ ITEMS AT FOUR CITY FbCILITIES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council
1. Approve the transfer of $178,603.00 from the Specially Funded Capital Projects
Fund to the Environmental Management Fund, and
2. Adopt the attached appropriations ordinance increasing estimated receipts and
appropriations in the Environmental Management Fund by $178,603 00 from increased
revenues, and
3 Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Unison Transformer Services,
a North Carolina firm, for the removal, disposal and replacement of PCB
transformers and PCB items at four city facilities on the lowest responsive bid
of $211,970.00, and
4 Establish a clean-up contingency fund equal to 10% of the construction contract,
$21,197.00, for any unforeseen PCB cleanup or electrical and fire code
requirements discovered during remediation
nrcriiccrnti.
The proposed contract will bring the City into compliance with EPA regulations by
removing all known PCBs from City facilities. The specific facilities to be remediated
are as follows:
Municipal Building
Five PCB Transformers
One PCB Container
Meacham Airport
One Constant Current Regulator
Light and Signal Warehouse
Six Transformers with PCB
contaminated mineral oil
One Oil Switch
One PCB Contaminated Transformer
Will Rogers Memorial Center
Three PCB Transformers
Engineer Room Cleanup
Also, the five transformers at City Hall and the one regulator at Meacham Airport will
be replaced under this contract
Since the transformers to be replaced at City Hall provide power for much of the City's
main computer resources, and while the contractor is required to minimize downtime, the
uncertain nature of this type of removal and cleanup provides the potential for
unforeseen problems and costs Staff is therefore recommending that Council authorize
a 10% contingency account to cover any additional costs to keep the project on
schedule.
