A4.Approve Payment for Emergency Purchase of New Dispenser
Enclosures for North & South Fuel Islands
Staff recommends the City Council approve payment of $53,781.06 to
Stenstrom Petroleum (2422 Center Street, Rockford, IL 61108) for
emergency removal and installation of four Fuel Dispenser Enclosures,
two at the North Fuel Island & two at the South Fuel Island. This is a
40-year-old system that is well past its useful life and in need of
replacement. In addition, the State of Illinois Fire Marshal recently noted
that the dispenser base and gallon output screens are rotted and
allowing moisture and condensation into the dispensers resulting in
failures. Temporary solutions were completed in-house but have not
held up long, and interior components which are becoming obsolete and
difficult to obtain have again been affected. Planning for a completely
new fuel system is underway but will take a year or two for design and
construction. Due to a 10-12 week lead time for parts and the City
Council schedule in August, when this was brought to staff's attention,
staff received emergency approval from the City Manager and began
the purchasing process.
Funding will be from the Automotive Equipment Maintenance Fund
(Account 600.19.7710.62240) with a budget of $37,910.00 and a YTD
balance of $26,451.00. For Action

services through June 30, 2022, finishing out the current school year
and allowing the School Boards to plan for its new budget or develop
other solutions should the City Council seek that direction.
