This tower was <br />constructed in 1996. The water tower inspection report identified several structural and coating <br />issues that need to be addressed. In addition, the exterior and interior dry coatings are over 24 <br />years old and have surpassed their life expectancy. Coatings on water towers are typically <br />replaced every 20 years, or more frequently to protect the underlying steel surfaces from <br />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 />The estimated construction cost is $1,536,000. Funding for the project is through the Water <br />Operating Fund. <br />The schedule for this project is as follows: <br />Authorize Preparation of Plans and Specifications October 25, 2021 <br />Order Improvement, Approve Plans and Specs, Authorize Ad for Bids January 10, 2022 <br />City Opens Bids February 8, 2022 <br />City Council Awards Contract February 14, 2022 <br />Construction Begins May, 2022 <br />
