Rationale:
|
This is to award a Purchase Order as referenced above as per the attached emergency declaration issued by the Superintendent on October 19, 2020. Bids are not required under an emergency declaration.
Castlton, under contract to the New York State Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) was working with the City of Yonkers Fire Dept and the DPW in their attempts to locate and clean-up a fuel oil leak found in and around Crestwood Lake and local sewers. On October 18 they were able to trace the leak to a failed fuel pump in the 1951 boiler room at School 29. Upon finding the source, the DEP transferred the responsibility for Castlton’s expenses to the District. The District dismissed Castlton in favor of Luzon Environmental Services, already under contract with the District.
The cost for Castlton’s services are $27,160.18 based on time and material prices in force under the DEC’s contract. Further expenses include replacement absorbent filtering booms for the City Fire Dept at an additional cost of $320.00 for a cost total of $27,480.18.
