Background:

From the September 26, 2023, meeting:

 

There are three estimates. The Corrtech estimate was much more thorough than the other two received. The Corrtech estimate is for $3,336.00. Chairman Lynch asked Mr. Duarte if GU has experience with Corrtech, he replied yes, they have inspected a few tanks previously. Chairman Lynch said he would like to use Corrtech. The assessment report is a separate fee included with

the estimate. Mr. Duarte commented that Corrtech provides very detailed reports. The Commissioners agreed that using a ROV would be better than using a dive team for the inspection. Mr. Duarte added that the ROV video would be clearer than a dive team video. Mr. Saums said the terms and conditions should be read over carefully because they are written in favor of Corrtech. It was said that GU has used Corrtech previously and since it is not a high-cost job it's less risky. Chairman Lynch asked if Corrtech would be under GU's supervision while the inspection is taking place, he said yes.

 

Motion to ACCEPT the Corrtech estimate of $3,336.00 using funds from the Holmberg tank CNR account.

 

Mr. Jones pointed out that the Corrtech quote was dated April 18, 2023, and states, "Project pricing is valid for 60 days" and the 60-day window is now gone. Also, the quote is a part of a much larger proposal which the Authority is not ready to move forward with. After further discussion it was decided to rescind the vote, obtain a second more concise quote from Corrtech (for just the tank inspection) and to table the motion until the second quote is received.

 

Mr. Duarte said he will obtain a second quote from Corrtech.

 

Motion to RECONSIDER.

 

Motion to TABLE the Corrtech estimate vote until a new quote is received.
