The Franklin Company Contractor Inc
City-funded organization
The Franklin Company Contractor Inc, doing business as Franklin Company Contractors, is a petroleum and chemical bulk storage tank contractor headquartered at 22-44 119th Street in College Point, Queens, founded in 1932 and now run by a fourth generation of the Klein family, according to the company's own site. It holds NYC Department of Environmental Protection, Department of Sanitation, and Fire Department contracts for maintaining chemical and petroleum bulk storage tanks and Veeder Root tank-level monitoring systems, including the active "Maintenance of CBS tanks" contract ($2,617,733) and "VEEDER ROOT TANK LEVEL SYSTEM REPAIR RENEWAL #1" ($1,393,140). Most of its $52 million in citywide contract value since 2007 was won through competitive sealed bid; 19% of contract value ($10,007,394 across 7 contracts) was awarded without a fresh competitive bid, chiefly through renewal-not-re-bid extensions of prior tank-maintenance work.
