The Board of Public Works and Safety held a regular meeting on June 2, 2026, chaired by the Mayor with members John Pickett, Brenda Sullivan, and Eric Fry present (Melanie Henderson absent). The meeting covered approvals, bid openings, project updates, and routine items.
So we can officially start today's meeting of the Board of Public Works and Safety. And I will begin with a roll call. John Pickett. I'm here. Brenda Sullivan here. Eric Fry. Here. And I am here and we'll serve as chair and Melanie Henderson is out this week. First up is approval of the May 26, 2025 minutes. I will move for their approval. I'll second. We have a motion of a second. All in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed and sign motion carries. No. Now we have a notice to bidders for a department of public works. Good morning. So the first one that we'll start with is so at uh uh Kreitzer, our Department of Public Works site now 2250 Kreitzer. We have a used oil tank that's in the ground, the underground storage tank. It's a 550 gallon tank. It's uh the last inspection that we did uh with IDEM that they come out every year do an inspection. It's was non-compliant. Um so we would like to remove that tank. And so it does qualify for the uh 50 percent um grant approval reimbursement um for that, but we have to have a uh contractor in order first before they'll reimburse and we have to pay up front and then we'll get the reimbursement. Kind of like what the fire department had just uh gone through here just recently to do. So we have one for a 550 gallon oil tank. We uh asked for quotes. Uh we received four quotes. So I apologize. So we got the low quote here is uh allied ought um in the amount of sixteen thousand three hundred dollars. And again, if uh ever taken we'd qualify and we've got the approval from IDEM to move forward at this uh point that our tank would qualify and everything, but if everything's done in order that we could be eligible for the 50% uh reimbursement. And this is at the old city garage site. Correct, yeah, the old site, yes. We have three underground storage tanks there, two uh two fuel tanks and then the used oil uh tank. Uh so we just want to remove that or used oil tank. Um, and they were all pretty much in order. 163 is the low quote. Uh we have one for sixteen thousand seven hundred and twenty dollars, sixteen thousand three hundred and forty-two dollars, and then we have one for uh Williams Beck and Hass for $8,249, but they were not uh it was not the full quote, so we didn't uh look at that. They didn't have the environmental piece of it, so uh we would still have to get that in order as well. So uh we would like to recommend using Allied Ot. Uh the revenue that we've used in the past, and we've used several of them, but they are uh low quote at 16,300 uh to move forward with this process. Um I'll move to approve the removal of the oil tank with allied what did you say allied Ot. Allied Ot. OTT, yes, yes. I'll second that motion. So we have a motion and a second to approve the uh contract with allied out point oil tanks removal at the department of public works yard as presented. All in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye aye, opposed, same sign, motion carry. I have one weed letter today.
