DISCUSSION
On July 30 2004 as a Water Department contractor excavated a utility trench to install a new water line
along Monroe Street, a concrete underground storage tank containing used oil mixed with gasoline was
discovered at Monroe and Lancaster The contractor breached the undocumented underground storage
tank resulting in an oil/gasoline/water mixture release of less than 25 gallons into the trench and
surrounding trench walls. Eagle Construction and Environmental Services was contacted to dispatch a
vacuum truck to the intersection of Lancaster and Monroe to pump the remaining liquid from the
underground storage tank. Approximately 2500 gallons of liquid was removed and transported to a licensed
disposal facility Impacted soils from the site were also removed A second tank was located as the first
tank was removed The second tank was also pumped out and removed Removal of the two tanks the
liquids they contained and impacted soils cost $40 756 43 Disposal costs were $12 807 02
The Department of Law approved this situation as an emergency under Section 252 022 (a) (2) of the Local
Government Code that exempts from competitive bidding procurements made `necessary to preserve or
protect the public health or safety of the municipality's residents. Staff determined that the estimates
received from the vendor were fair and reasonable for the work performed
M/WBE A waiver of the goal for M/WBE subcontracting requirements was requested and approved by the
M/V1/BE Office because a public emergency existed which required the services to be provided with unusual
immediacy
