CITY COUNCIL <br /> AGENDA ITEM 5A <br /> STAFF ORIGINATOR: Justin Williams,Utilities Supervisor <br /> COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 25, 2021 <br /> TOPIC: Consider Approval of Resolution No. 21-126, Authorizing <br /> Preparation of Plans and Specifications for Water Tower #2 <br /> Reconditioning Project <br /> VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> City Staff is requesting City Council approval to prepare plans and specifications for the <br /> reconditioning of Tower#2 located at 7001 Otter Lake Road. This tower was constructed in <br /> 1996. The water tower inspection report identified several structural and coating issues that need <br /> to be addressed. In addition, the exterior and interior dry coatings are over 24 years old and have <br /> surpassed their life expectancy. Coatings on water towers are typically replaced every 20 years, <br /> or more frequently to protect the underlying steel surfaces from corrosion. <br /> This is a 14-16 week project commencing with the coordination of all wireless carrier antennae <br /> being removed from the water tower and relocated to a temporary structure. The tower is then <br /> curtained off, sand blasted,repairs made as needed,then re-coated inside and out. We are <br /> hoping that this project will be completed by early summer to avoid any disruption to our water <br /> supply. <br /> Staff is recommending that WSB prepare the plans and specifications for this project. Costs not <br /> to exceed $17,807.00. Funding for this project is from the Water Operating Fund. <br /> The schedule for this project is as follows: <br /> City Council Authorizes Preparation of Bidding Documents October 25 2021 <br /> Completed Bidding Documents December 8,2021 <br /> City Council Authorizes Ad for Bids December 13, 2021 <br /> Open Bids January 11,2021 <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Approve Resolution Number 21-126 authorizing the Preparation of Plans and Specifications for <br /> Water Tower 42 Reconditioning Project. <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> Resolution No. 21-126 <br /> WSB Proposal <br />
