JAN 4 1994 BOOK 9 F'r1GE� <br />DATE: DECEMBER 16, 1993 <br />TO: JAMES E. CHANDLER <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />FROM: TERRANCE G. PINT <br />DIRECTOR OF UTI ITY VICES <br />PREPARED TERRY H. DRUM <br />1 <br />AND STAFFED ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIALI <br />BY: DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />SUBJECT: REMOVAL OF '200, 000 -GALLON GROUND ..STORAGE TAMC AT"VERG- _ <br />BEACH HIGHLANDS <br />BACKGROUND <br />On September 7, 1993, the Board of County Commissioners approved the <br />purchase of the Vero Shores/Vero Beach Highlands Water and Sewer System <br />from General Development Utilities, Inc. (see attached minutes). One <br />of the items obtained in the purchase was a 200,000 -gallon unused water <br />storage tank. The utility has no need/use for the tank, and removal of <br />this tank would please the surrounding residents and increase the value <br />of the property. <br />ANALYSIS <br />Upon approval by the Board of County Commissioners, the Department of <br />Utility Services will contact several contractors to obtain bids for <br />} the sale and removal of the 200,000 -gallon ground storage tank located <br />at the old General Development Utilities Water Treatment Plant in Vero <br />Beach Highlands. <br />As with past bids for these items, a low bidder turnout is expected. <br />This is mainly due to the low price of scrap steel in today's market, <br />along with the cost of dismantling and removal. We estimate the price <br />for the storage tank at ± $2,000.00. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the <br />Board of County Commissioners approve the process of obtaining quotes <br />for the sale and removal of the subject storage tank. <br />Utility Services Director Terry Pinto stated for the record <br />that it is a 250,000 -gallon rather than a 200,000 -gallon tank. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved <br />the process of obtaining quotes for the sale and <br />removal of the subject storage tank, as recommended <br />by staff. <br />34 <br />
