Summary: Provident Hospital had 2-Underground Storage Tanks (UST), one (1)-5,000 and one (1)-15,000 gallon tank, both installed in 1993; the tanks are used to store fuel for the Hospital's emergency generators.
The City of Chicago, Bureau of Fire Protection issued notice in September 2008 to comply with the State of Illinois rules for abandon and removal of the 5,000 gallon UST after an initial test conducted by Provident Hospital (July 2008) failed the tank tightness test.
Cook County entered into contract with Clean World Engineering (CWE), LTD., for engineering services, for removal and replacement of one (1) 5,000 gallon UST. Subsequently the Chicago Fire Department followed up with the hospital in 2010 and restricted the usage of the second tank (15,000 gallon) due to corroded piping and possible contamination. After receiving the notification, the County expanded the scope of work to include the 15,000 gallon UST to be removed and replaced.
This additional professional services scope resulted in an increase of $32,320.00 to the project.
