quotes for the metal tank from various vendors, but was only able to receive one quote meeting
that standard.

The equipment to be purchased has a a quote of $26,370 from Tanner Industries, Inc. of
Pennsylvania, and funds are available in Account No. 410-40-210-5312-00-00-000, Building

purchase a Refurbished 1,000 Gallon Anhydrous Ammonia Tank as discussed and /or outlined
above.
