Title/Name/Summary
Removal of Underground Storage Tank (UST) - Main Street Triangle
History
The final phase of demolition for the former Orland Plaza will begin soon. Prior to this demolition, an old underground storage tank (UST) needed to be removed from the site. This UST was originally used to hold heating fuel for the building (Marquette Bank). The tank was recently removed from the site. During the removal, it was verified that the aged tank had leaked. Due to this leakage, the Village is required to remediate the soil and submit the necessary paperwork to the IEPA. The remediation plan requires the removal of the impacted soil and backfill. This is required to be completed prior to the demolition of the actual structures.
The original budget for this work was estimated to be under $5,000. However, due to the impacted soil the budget needs to be revised. The new estimated budget is now $29,177.50. This includes the work that has already been completed for the tank removal and the oversight of the project by the Village’s environmental consultant, E. Cooney & Associates, Inc. All work is being coordinated and administered via the consultant. E. Cooney & Associates, Inc. will ensure that all required environmental testing, permitting and close-out is completed per IEPA rules and regulations.
The cost breakdown includes the following:
Robinette - $22,977.50
Cooney - $6,200.00
Financial Impact
The cost for the removal of the tank and remediation is estimated to be $29,177.50. Funds are available and budgeted in the TIF fund.
This item is skipping committee to allow for expedited approval to avoid delays of the demolition of structures.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve payment to E. Cooney & Associates, Inc. (the Village’s environmental consultant) for the removal and remediation of the underground storage tank located at 143rd and LaGrange Road (Marquette Bank Building) in the amount not to exceed $29,177.50.
