He noted the cost <br />difference is $4,300. <br />Jabbour stated the fiberglass tanks will only cost $1,000 more. He <br />explained the original request was for an estimate on steel and <br />fiberglass tanks below ground. At that time, the fiberglass tanks <br />were bid at double the price of the steel tanks, but that bid was <br />based on retail figures.

The <br />contractor at that meeting recommended .fiberglass below ground <br />tanks with safety precautions., Jabbour asked why the safety <br />precautions.were not included in the original bid, and he was told <br />that the b -id was based on minimum standards in order to secure the <br />bid. He added the additional difference in cost is for the brine <br />solution and other safety features, which should be purchased for <br />either type of tank. He noted that all Target stores and the U.S. <br />Postal Service have removed their underground tanks. <br />It was moved by Jabbour, seconded by Mayor Peterson, to award the <br />fuel distribution system bid to Pump and Meter Company, for an <br />amount not to exceed $72,209.00, to include two fiberglass tanks <br />with brine solution and other safety features.
