WAIVE BID FOR OIL
TANK REPLACEMENT BETHANY TOWN HALL
Roderick White was present to explain to the Selectmen the
process he has taken for the replacement of the underground oil tank and
alternative arrangements that could be used for Town Hall. The tank presently being used is a 2000
gallon underground tank put in about 1989. After
getting quotes from five companies it was determined that it would be better to
put in six 400 gallon tanks in the old coal bin area in the basement of Town
Hall. To do this would require asbestos abatement
in this area. The best quote of $17,500 was
received from Tuxis-Ohr, who is our present oil supplier. The asbestos abatement would cost $2,500 for a
total of $25,000 for complete installation.
Quotes received for tank removal of the underground tank, to be done in
the future, were approximately $5,000.
The oil left in the underground tank would be used before removal is
considered. Following discussion
Selectman Shea moved a motion to award the bid for tank installation to
Tuxis-Ohr. Selectman Hurlburt seconded
the motion. The vote taken was
unanimous.
ADDITION TO THE
AGENDA
Selectman Hurlburt moved a motion to add Cemetery Deeds and
Tax Deferral to the agenda of this meeting.
Selectman Shea seconded the motion.
The vote taken was unanimous.
