�r NESS SERVICES mEMOR9D9 TRACY UNII2D SCHOOL DISTRICT To: Jim Franco Ed. D., Superintendent From: Casey Goodall, Assistant Superintendent Date: December 3, 2004 Subject: Ratify the Contract between Tracy Unified School District and Wright Environmental to Perform the EVR Upgrade (Enhanced Vapor Recovery), to the Unleaded Fuel Tank BACKGROUND: On November 24`h, an inspector from the San Joaquin County Air Pollution Control District inspected fuel tanks in the District Service Center yard. The inspector found a leak in the drop tube of the unleaded fuel tank and, consequently, completed a Gasoline Vapor Recovery Inspection Form which states: Facility failed ... (leak decay) testing.... Must make repairs and retest within 7 days. No defect of inspection detectable equipment." What this means is that the leak is small enough that it doesn't set of the detection equipment and is not contaminating the ground water. The recommended repair is an "EVR Upgrade Enhanced Vapor Recovery." This fix would have been required by air quality codes next year anyway, and will also fix the detected leak. The inspection took place immediately before the Thanksgiving break and district staff were not able to get vendors to respond immediately. However, since that time, quotes have been sought from all the vendors;in the area. Two responses have been received to date and no others are expected. The estimated cost is approximately $8,300, which will be paid from the Transportation Department budget. Because of the low cost, there is no need to bid the project. The unleaded fuel tank supports vehicles for the maintenance, grounds, warehouse, food services staffs, and supports vehicle use for student activities after school. The tank has been c!osed, and fueling is being done at a gasoline station in the community. Approximate length of project will be two weeks once permits have been issued. 140
