Rationale: This resolution is to assign Architectural/Engineering design task for emergency declaration work CIP10933 “Underground Fuel Oil Storage Tank Replacement (UST) and Related Work” at Kahlil Gibran School under requirements contract 2020-‘0594 to Eisenbach & Ruhnke Engineering, P.C., (E&R) for an amount not to exceed $32,500.00 and 365 calendar days.

The emergency declaration issued by the Superintendent on November 24, 2021 is attached.

The UST failed to pass annual tests mandated by Westchester County Dept. of Health. Per current regulations, a “spill” was reported to the NYSDEC. The tank was emptied and taken out of service. A temporary tank has been installed by Luzon Environmental, the District’s current maintenance contractor. WCDOH requires that failed USTs be replaced within 6 months.

This RFP was issued to E&R, the most knowledgeable and expedient consultant with respect to oil storage tank replacements.

E&R’s base proposal is for $27,500.00 (plus $5,000 for reimbursable expenses) to provide: confirmation of existing conditions to create construction documents for the replacement of the tank, including a new pump set, re-design of the storm drainage over the tank area and restoration of the site. The plans will be submitted to the SED for building aid. E&R will also be providing construction administration.

This project cost is currently anticipated to be roughly $400,000.00 and construction is planned for the day shift of April break of 2022 continuing during the school year after school hours
