Sellersburg approves Prime Group task order, allocates $51,470 for UST closure engineering
Summary
Council approved Task Order 008 with Prime Group for UST closure services — a lump-sum engineering fee of $51,470 covering survey, testing, construction documents and contractor selection assistance — and an initial not-to-exceed engineering budget of $200,000; one council member abstained.
The council approved a Prime Group task order (Task Order 008) for underground storage tank (UST) closure and related engineering services, accepting a lump‑sum fee of $51,470 to cover surveying, UST testing by Atlas, construction documents, contractor selection assistance and construction administration.
Council asked whether the $51,470 included physical tank removal; staff clarified it covers engineering and oversight services only and that separate contracting will be required for excavation and removal. Andrew and Prime Group explained the line-item breakdown includes survey ($7,000), UST testing by Atlas ($12,900), construction documents ($15,500), contractor-selection assistance ($5,000) and construction administration ($11,500), totaling roughly $51,470. The meeting record also referenced an initial not‑to‑exceed engineering budget of $200,000 for Prime Group work related to broader system improvements; staff said certain costs are expected to be reimbursable by the Indiana Finance Authority (IFA).
The council approved the task order by voice vote; one council member asked to abstain during the vote. Staff noted the UST testing is intended to identify any contaminated soils that would need excavation and remediation under Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) guidelines.
