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 />
