CITY COUNCIL <br />\-. AGENDA ITEM 5A <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br />COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 23, 2015 <br />TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 15-133, Authorizing Preparation <br />of Plans and Specifications for Water Tower #1 <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 #1 located at 7470 4th Avenue. This tower was constructed in 1991. <br />Aside from power washing the exterior every 2-3 years and spot repairs, the surfaces have held <br />up very well and has exceeded its expected life. The most recent inspection indicated the interior <br />coating has numerous failures that should be addressed before the corrosion becomes a structural <br />issue. <br />KLM Engineering specializes in water tower projects. The City has used various engineering <br />firms for previous water tower maintenance and repairs projects. KLM Engineering excels in <br />this type of work due to their staffing expertise and the amount of time devoted to on-site <br />inspections. <br />This is a 14 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 begin in the Spring to avoid any disruption to our water supply. <br />Staff is recommending that KLM Engineering prepare the plans and specifications for this <br />project for a fixed fee of $10,500. We also recommend that KLM Engineering provide <br />construction management services ($11,560) and construction observation services ($79,636). <br />Funding for this project is from the Water Operating Fund. <br />The schedule for this project is as follows: <br />City Council Authorizes Plans and Specifications <br />City Council Approves Plans and Specifications <br />City Council Authorizes Ad for Bids <br />Open Bids <br />City Council Awards Contract <br />Substantial Completion <br />November 23, 2015 <br />December 28, 2015 <br />December 28, 2015 <br />January 23, 2016 <br />January 26, 2016 <br />June 30, 2016 <br />
