Raleigh shop wins work to install fuel system at state's port

Triangle Business Journal, July 24, 2009

The Raleigh office of Jones and Frank Corp. has won a $126,000 contract to install three biodiesel tanks and the related fuel systems at two North Carolina ports, the North Carolina State Ports Authority said in a statement.
Two of the biodiesel tanks - one 20,000-gallon tanks and one 10,000-gallon tank - are for the Port of Wilmington. The company will install a 10,000-gallon tank at the Port of Morehead City.
A North Carolina Clean Air grant is funding $104,000 of the cost, while ports authority revenue will pick up the remainder.
The ports authority board of directors' executive committee approved the contract earlier this month. Norfolk, Va.-based Jones and Frank Corp. is a petroleum equipment distributor and service provider. It has nine offices, including the ones in Raleigh and Charlotte.
