113 COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 23, 1991 There was discussion regarding whether it was more feasible to erect a 750,000 gallon tank rather than a 1,000,000 gallon tank. Mr. Schneider explained that the bid for the 1,000,000 gallon tank was lower than the estimate for the 750,000 gallon tank. Also he estimated if a 750,000 gallon tank was erected, the City would be considering building another tank in five (5) to seven (7) years. If the City builds the 1,000,000 gallon tank, Mr. Schneider estimated another tank would not be need for the next ten (10) years. Mr. Volk said he felt the 1,000,000 gallon tank was a very good investment. There was discussion regarding cathodic protection and avoiding the problems incurred with the Circle Pines water tank. Council Member Reinert asked if the alternative to erecting an elevated water tank was to put in more wells. Mr. Schneider said yes, however the City would not have a reserve water supply and would have an erratic supply of water. Council Member Reinert moved to adopt Resolution No. 95 - 91 accepting the bid of Pitt -Des Moines and the alternates for a total of $836,000.00. Council Member Neal seconded the motion.
