Bel Air staff recommend $48,000 replacement of fuel pedestals and pumps at Public Works
Summary
Public Works staff reported that the town's fueling pedestal and pump vendor no longer supports the legacy equipment, leaving the town unable to obtain repair parts. Staff presented a low bid of $48,000 to replace pumps and pedestals; no formal vote was taken because there was no quorum.
Public Works staff presented a recommended removal and replacement of the town's fuel pedestals and pumps that service the municipal fleet, citing inability to obtain replacement parts for the legacy equipment.
Mr. Klein told commissioners the existing pedestals (one for gasoline and one for diesel) are no longer serviceable by the original manufacturer and that replacement parts are unavailable. "We are up the creek if we have issues," he said, noting the town will replace the equipment to ensure ongoing serviceability. Staff reported the low bid for the project is $48,000.
Because the Oct. 28 session was an informational work session with no quorum, commissioners did not vote; staff plans to present formal contract paperwork at the Nov. 3 meeting for consideration.
Next steps: staff will finalize the low-bid contract and bring it to the board for approval at the next meeting.
